a being taken by the democrats. we've got california, colorado, new york, illinois, connecticut, maryland and vermont. the yellow remain the most competitive. we've got. pennsylvania, nevada, arizona, all eyes on the battleground, state of pennsylvania. there we've got to adopt her mom at oz. he is sitting at 48.14 percent just a little bit behind john patman. the, the democratic candidate is not that 65 percent of putting our correspondent give us on those. been saying it could be days before we actually get a full results that in pennsylvania for the senate and was constant. senate race is also looking incredibly tight. ron johnson, the for the republican, he's b incumbents. he's a trump supporter also has an founded claims of vote a fraud. he's just inching ahead of mandela bonds that for the democrats, us at 66 percent of the votes counted very tight race the georgia senate,

another one too close to call rafael warnock. just a little bit behind herschel walkover herschel. they don't 49.25 percent 48.75 percent, roughly a war knock, 75 percent of votes counted. remember in georgia where all the votes counted the candidates, the wedding kinds, it must cross 50 percent to avoid a run off, and that run off wouldn't happen until december, the fix. so this could be another very late call on the senate, arizona race. the democrats breathing a sigh of relief. it's leaning slightly more democratic. they're mark kelley, he's the incumbent. he's inching ahead with the round about 50 percent of the votes . taken democrats also ahead in new hampshire at sir. not really surprising. it's blue state maggie hassan is the incumbent that has been slightly def, more difficult race than she had hopes were against on bolduc. who is

a 2020 election deny many election denies are on the ballots. this mid term elections. it's causing a big problem for joe biden, who has come out to support democracy. it's a big question as to how much voters are actually listening to him. the governor raised at texas just got an update on the numbers there. we've got greg albert, he's the incumbents. he is projected to win and we saw him preparing a stays, little earlier as if he was gonna give a speech. maybe a little premature is that he 60 percent of the votes counted in, not quite ready to call it yet, but better a rule failing in another attempt to take the governorship there as told now to alan fisher. he is on capitol hill following all the races very closely for us. and alan fair to say, is it that the dems, democrats are doing better than expected?

you know, there was a lot of talk after that the, the last couple of elections that there was a problem with the way that pulling is done in the united states. and it seems that that is holding up. if you looked at the polls on the eve of the election, we were told that there was every possibility there was going to be a red wave. that hasn't quite materialized still early in the evening. still a lot of races to be counted, but it hasn't actually turned out the way that many republicans were hoping that we're hoping they would take at least 3 seats from the democrats in somewhere like virginia. that hasn't happened. you're talking about maggie hassan, who's got at the the senate seat in new hampshire. they believed that they were closing in there and could possibly cause an upset. they are, she is doing much better than she did when she ran for the senate 6 years ago. and it's been a big night and vermont not only did patrick welsh when i see tickets from a long standing, a senator from the state. they've also elected for the 1st time as

the 1st the last state to elect a female, a member of the congressional caucus. they have elected a becca blunt, who will become a congresswoman from vermont. and if that wasn't enough on a night of historic firsts in vermont, they have also voted to enshrined the right to abortion in the states constitution and done so by a margin of 76 to 24. so quite a significant night there you were talking about ohio. the predictions are that g d . vance. well, when there he was up against that to congressman ryan, from ohio, who really kind of talked about the economic hardship. many ordinary americans were facing, wasn't the message that the democrats were, were on board with very early on. they were talking about the threat to democracy and abortion rights. but he talked about economic issues. and he believed that that was one way to connect with voters in somewhere like

a higher at he certainly done better than specter. but it looks as if ged vance who was backed by donald trump, a will secured the seat. they're not confirmed yet. and another interesting thing, and this is going to be very interesting. and did you remember that last night there was at the, or the rally in ohio. donald trump was the headliner. they are speaking for ged vance. and he said that there was going to be a big announcement next tuesday at merrill lago. well, it could be a problem there for donald trump and that a lot of the candidates that he is backing have done or key. but if he doesn't manage to land, how shall walker in georgia and limit ours in pennsylvania? and you look at what one de santos has done in florida. people will say, well, hold on a 2nd. maybe we don't need to be a listening to donald trump. maybe ron de santis is our man. and that might change the calculus of any announcement the don't trump is going to meet next week. that's all very speculative at the moment. and of course, as always, there's the disclaimer. we are dealing with donald trump here, but he hasn't had

a good night as ron de santos has, who's re drawn them up in florida and made it no longer a swing state. he has made florida a republican state. alan, thanks very much. so it's going to have from ron de santis in as secondary republicans have dominated florida. he's been re elected as governor and marco ruby has been getting another 10 in the senate. they think reacting base them in the past years that take lesson the people in this country are going to go for the people to fight for people like them. they're going to vote for people that are going to fight for people that care about being safe. they don't want drugs coming across our border that don't want illegal immigration running rampant into our country that don't want to have to pay $4.00 for gasoline that don't want to have to pay 20 percent more than they used to for their groceries. so when you see the results across this country tonight, that's what it's all about. the people who make this country great have been forgotten and have been left behind. and what i'm most proud of is that this

community, miami date and the state florida. a diverse state, you find people in the state from everywhere. you find people say from every background. and they enjoy this incredible new movement that isn't just going to change the country. it's going to change the republican party after tonight the republican party will never be the same. and that's a great thing for america. and a great thing for now, this great exodus of americans for those folks, florida, for so many of them has served as the promised land me. ah, we have embraced freedom. we maintain law in order. we have protected the rights of parents. we have respected our taxpayers and we reject woke. id ology ah, a georgia until about georgia. the 2nd, 1st of all,

let's look up florida. and the red way that had been discussed before election day seemed only so far to be happening in florida with dr. florida. seems to be getting more and more read, excused a noise behind me. there's a good deal in celebration going on. we can talk about that in a minute. the florida seems to have gone better over recent years, and the rest of the country is not, doesn't seem to be writing back to the read way. but the important thing here is it's rhonda sanders is riding that way and that makes it a lot more interesting for the republican party. as we have said many times over the course of the night is the likeliest nominee for the republican party at this very early stage, where the 2024 election. if donald trump, we're not to, we're now. but it's looking increasingly, donald trump will announce that he's going to run. we don't know that, but he's an intake is that that's,

that's what's going to happen. and so that we may have 2 giants sort of king kong versus godzilla situation here. and what you see with that massive wind for him is that the people of florida really have competence and dissenters. and that really louise, him in that potentially pending conflict with donald trump. it is a real vote. literally speaking of competence. and rhonda said that was a problem for donald trump if he'd once again to be the nominee. it would be an incredible embarrassment for a former president to be knocked out of the nomination by a governor like that. so it'll be interesting to watch what happens going forward, right? well, okay, now let's talk about this database and going on behind you. now, john, why are they celebrating that? that senate race is still too close to cool? well, well j a secret may have been celebrating since the beginning of midnight. they've had a guy up here. it's singing. we've already run one. and every speaker has come out

and said of whether or not raphael warner wins tonight. if he doesn't get the 50 percent that he needs, they are predicting that his opponent version longer won't get 50 percent either. and that means early run off in december. so it's a good deal of competence among the people who is saying that is the other senator from georgia. john off, who like bravo, warner, 12 years ago or in the 20 twenty's election cycle. exactly in january during a run up. and he was up here saying that they're going to keep the state blue. that's a big change for georgia and the fact that the republicans happened walked away with it tonight, or at least the republican senate candidate hasn't walked away with. it means that this change that you have in the state of georgia from red to blue lasting it's, it's possible that herschel walker may, with winning by the kind of

a more kind of margins that you saw. republicans, when in the bad, we are seeing that kind of margin in the governor's race, that is stacy abrams, the democrat versus brian kent. he appears to be walking away with it by a wide margin. and that was predicted in the hold is of course is a match up between those 2. so it's kind of an equivocal metric. here on the one hand, in the governor's race over time, there seems to be a clear move towards the republicans. but in the senate race, there really seems to be a wide interest among voters in rockville or not. it's also probably a reflection of the fact that virtual walker is at the very best a highly lot candidate. first run. he's an old football. larry's had trouble in debate, he claimed he was at member of law enforcement and held up an honorary badge that a share up gayden. sheriff later had to explain that that didn't mean he could rent people. there have been accusations of domestic abuse. in any case,

the republicans seem by and large to be sticking with their actual water. the question is, is enough or has some of them defected? and given that libertarian candidate, the 2 percentage points that he's getting so far, and simply making the difference in this rate and pushing it to a run up. and it's never, we don't know yet, but it's looking hotly awfully close. somewhere around 49 percent. walker, 49 percent were rockville warnock, and there's only less than 20 percent of the boat to be counted. so we could be here for a long night, or we could be back here in december. run a lot of people out there for a long night. at least the music's good, but you can enjoy it for a bit. john, come back and speak to you later. okay. and as a gentleman saying that we've got a race in ga. gov incumbent, brian kemp and stacy eva stacy making another attempt to have failed. 2008 attends to when the governess atlas like see like the coming out to see. so if i will cross, i have it so that when we see her now let's go have

a few. pennsylvania pit fed, gainesville l. as on day best is another very closely watched state isn't a game. and this is one that democrats really are hopeful of gaining a seat in the senate. yeah, the democrats want pennsylvania bad. and so to the republicans. oh, and here we go. long night in pennsylvania about 3000000 votes in and about 50000 separate john fedor, men the democrat and merit on the republican. so this is tightening up in it's looking like it's going to be a very, very. ready close race, the republican met, but ours is a read endorsed by donald trump, is a celebrity doctor and tv personality, multi millionaire. and on the other end of the spectrum is a democrat to john fetter menus. lieutenant governor,

of very plain spoken individual was a mayor of a local town just outside of pittsburgh here. dresses very casually, speaks to people and a very casual term as well. he had some health issues, had a stroke just a few months ago during the primary campaign actually spent many months of the general election, not even campaigning in person events. so this has been a very interesting race with 2 polar opposite candidates. and now here we are watching these results come in. officials here tell us that it could be a very long night or a very long couple days here. as we have more about 1100000 male in ballots, that they have to count as well as potentially up to about 5000000 in person ballots of people casting their votes on tuesday as well. so election, a fish was here sick. don't hold your breath for official results by the end of tuesday evening. here in pennsylvania, they're saying it could go in to wednesday,

perhaps even thursday, depending on how close this re says. bottom line right now, it's just a bit about 50000 votes that separate these 2 candidates right now in this key senate race. very close indeed. ok, thanks very much gay, but let's just bring our viewers up to date with how the senate is looking at the moment. 100 seats and all only $35.00 of them were up for grabs. let's look. we've got so close. republicans. 44 democrats. 43 republicans needing 51 seats to take control. democrats only needing to reach 15 because they have to tie break a vote from the vice president carmella harris. so 4443. very, very close there in that the senate let's go live to washington. d. c were patty col heinous with her panel of experts. she can really get into the weeds as to why we are seeing the results that we are seeing here on election night. that's right,

laura, at the beginning of this i think i said pretty clearly. i had absolutely no idea how this was going to go. we're starting to get a better sense of it and i have an excellent panel that can sort of walk us through exactly what we're seeing now. so join us is a jennifer, victor, she's the professor of political science at george mason university. james davis, a republican strategist at olivia knox, the washington post national correspondent, an anchor of the daily 2. 02, a newsletter that i highly recommend. so jennifer, i have been trying to get this question to you since our very 1st panel, when we talked about the polls that show republicans to our larger stamp democrats as well. see the other political side as an enemy basically is not a, not a good american. you are at a wonderful blog that i would recommend to people about how we get back to something less tribal. yeah. so i guess i think one of the things that i was

was trying to get out in the piece that you're referencing is that as jarring as this current moment feels as foreign as it feels and as dangerous and perilous. it feels at times everybody who's alive to day essentially has been conscious through the period of us history in which we experienced peak democracy through the 1960 seventy's eighty's like this whole time period. we had expansion of voting rights, lots of economic expansion. i mean, not that there weren't, you know, challenges during that time period, but relative to other periods of us history, we have picked democracy. and so it's kind of like our expectations are here about what we're supposed to be. and that's not an unreasonable expectation to have. but the story of america is that when you've got anti democratic, small, di and anti democratic forces in your political parties, as we've always had in the united states that it cree, it, it,

the only way to get past that is through the hard work of democracy which is organizing and social movements and community building and creating the, the fabrics that you need to bring the political parties back to where you want them to be. well, let me ask you this, james, because there's obviously donald trump is firmly in control of the republican party . but if they don't do as well as they had hoped, if they get the, let's say they get the house and they get 12 additional members. i was speaking to some people, both the democratic republicans and they said that makes, it's much harder for him to contain the of the far right. some of the people who are like it impeach joe biden. and you know, impeach merrick garland, how his, if, if he does get the 12 seats or what that, how does he govern? does he govern from that position of why don't i his to govern?

right. yeah, he certainly has some pool with the section of the electorate and, and part of the base and they're about are, well, you're seeing folks like, you know, brian can a, who they had a little bit of friction with the governor in georgia. do very well in georgia and, and, and so i think that, you know, a lot of these elections as much as we like to look at them from a national perspective. and certainly there are factors that color it, whether it's jo biden's, pru wiring rating or, or donald trump's approval rating. and they're not, they don't tell the whole story. and i think the more people can get out there and define who they are and present a positive vision. americans are dying for a positive vision. they want to see people who are getting who worked together. i think most of us, i think i speak for people on the, even this battle we get tired of seeing the, you know, kind of the ad hominem attacks and, and the visceral kind of reactions to one another. and we'd love to just have a discussion about some of these really important issues. and if we do,

we have an opportunity to actually tackle them to move our country forward as we have many times in the past. and i think your point jennifer is so great because this it, this feels like the most are you know, a dire moment in electoral history. then i think it is a signal that we're a little bit too reliant on government to fix our problems. and there are a lot of community organizations that we can lean on. that could be part of the problem there. so much more that we can do when we actually work together. so yes, less fight for elections. let's go and add it and debate the merits of the issues, but let us also do it with a civil tone and, and work together. so i think that's going to be the real challenge. no matter who wins and this olivia and i wanted to talk to you to talk about how that's never going to happen. but we have breaking news. we're ohio. this is the senate race that i've been given the closest i make look the closest attention to. so laura, roger, go ahead and take it away and let me tell you, then pass. it has been called j. d. vance for 7 said the republican is winning

there or has one has been called jedi vance has one against tim. ryan. that is, a bit of a surprise, the democrats were hoping to flip the seats, but ohio is a wiser, older and less educated area as a sweet spot for republicans and j. d. vance. trump and dorsey. he is anti abortion, with no exception. and economy was a central issue, which is how we saw republicans attending to choose their choices. let us give you a quick look at the senate race. and this is how it's shaping up 100 seats up for grabs. 100 east betty 5 up for grabs. excuse me, and it's getting closer and closer. 45 for republicans. 43 for democrats. let's go to heidi der castro because she can talk to with a little bit more about this. when in ohio for j. d vance. it really

wasn't what was expected starting from the democrats anyway. tim ryan had been ahead for part of the night. that's right, laura, but you know, ohio being such a close state and having gone to trump in the last election also, i think democrats might have seen this coming after all. trump was at judy dances, campaign rally just last night, giving that candidate his final vote of approval. the push over the finish line perhaps. and that is an interesting relationship between j t vans and trump. given that bands at 1st was no trump span, but then came around after and then trump gave him of course, the endorsement. and we're seeing a similar picture in ohio governor race in which mike, the wine easily slid into his reelection, beating his democratic challenger by nearly 30 points. what does that tell us about

the state of ohio that this one says whether state that was so evenly divided? many would even argue the most the most representative of america at large, it has one read similar to the story that we just saw developing in florida. and i there signed that national democrats did, perhaps the, this coming given that many democratic packs pulled out of ohio. they simply didn't make the same investment in that state. judging that perhaps that it wasn't as competitive. and it seems like that promotion has come tidy. just jumping in there because we've got tim ryan speaking, but so let's jump in to that speech and see what he's got to say. she was amazing and she's my best friend and i am a lucky guy.

and we have with that commercial with 2 over the years that really actors, i said, i said no, you know, that was really, daniel was just saying once a yeah, the other i said, you know why they were so good that that's what they say. wow. and mason and bella have enriched my life since i met them when they were foreign, 5 years old. and they had made me a better dad, dad, and better. oh. in our little guy. ah

. he brain so much joy to us. not just the, our play football games on the weekend but, but every single day and he's just like a great kid with segan frank campaign to deliver. and he delivered it 5 times in a row and he said, i think i want to change it. oh, it's and i, and giving his concession speech in ohio, he just lost a race to j. d. vance, advanced republican. going to the senate. let's go back now to hijacked cache. she's pulling all these events in this part of america very closely. you are in wisconsin, heidi there we are talking about an extremely close race for the senate. talk about that.
