Why Virginia governor’s race is so closely-watched

It’s the final week of the governor’s race in Virginia between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin. It’s a huge test for Democrats as they try to hold onto this must-have state. Plus, the Supreme Court decides to hear three abortion cases this term. And, new FBI data shows how border towns are safer than other American cities.
