Democrat Terry McAuliffe is running for Governor again. This time he faces Republican Glenn Youngkin. The two faced off in a second and final debate moderated by NBC's Chuck Todd and hosted by the Schar School of Government. Recent polls show them nearly tied. Princess Blanding, the Liberation Party candidate, interrupted the debate to protest her exclusion from the debate.
