and neck. look about 46 seats for republicans, 46 seats for democrats. republicans looking for $51.00 seats to take the majority. democrats need 50 because they're the party in power. so they get the tie breaker vote with the vice president that really is neck and neck. ver. let's look at the senate map verb how it looking across the states of america. here. let's start with the dark gray. these are the 2 states that we haven't been able to call yet for the senate races. the blue of is it going to the democrats, the reds going to the republicans. the yellow are in states that are too close to cool. and some of those states like pennsylvania and georgia, we may have to wait for a couple of days to get the final result. george may even have to wait until december, if they don't reach 50 percent and run off in december. the 6th. let's go and have

a look at a closer look at pennsylvania, though we've got a very, very close rate in the race. indeed, mehmet, as 48.27 on fassman, 49.32 with a lot of the votes counted. but as our correspondent was saying, it may be a few days before we get the full result there. let's go in now to look at arizona. that is 9.95 for blake ma says 57.77 for mark cape. remember, that's only 48 percent of the bows counted. so can't call that one ass, although mark can he does seem to taking a slight lead wisconsin. finally, let's look and see how they are doing that. a to am said to vote countess i getting towards the end. we've got ron johnson in the lead. he's the incumbent and he's a made unfounded claims of voter fraud in the past month on bonds trailing there

with 48.48 percent georgia, the georgia center. this is another big race that we are looking at. rafael warnock, we saw him speaking just a moment ago giving a motivational speech to his supporters have been waiting all night and this very party atmosphere expecting him to win, but he is not so far. how shall walker beating him? j, just a few percentage points are $49.00 for herschel walker. still though that might be a while to we get a 100 percent results that even then neither of them might cost 50 percent. as we're saying it might go to a run off. alan, let's go over to you as join you now on capitol hill at it season, and bob republicans excuse me, are doing pretty well for the house. they really need to flip one or 2 more seats, not the red way that they were hoping for, that they might still take the majority. well,

here's an interesting thing very early on in the evening, and you asked me what the races that we need to keep an eye on. and one of them was a lead, lower a in virginia don't in the mirror, virginia beach. and we said that if she lost that there could be a problem along with a couple of other ad democratic seats in virginia. well, the other 2 democrats, one elaine laura, is the 1st incumbent democrat to fall in this election. so she is now out of congress. she will be placed by a republican. what is interesting, ged vance, who we know knows a republican supported by donald trump at he won in ohio. but that hasn't translated all over the state because her steve chart has lost his seat and he was the republican. so he's the 1st republican incumbent to lose. no. the republicans were hoping they would pick up seats rather than lose any believing that the red wave which suit them to power. so it's obviously not quite working out that way. and also a greg,

one storm will be the democratic congressman there. and chris pappas has one in new hampshire. that was a seat that the republic is where targeting know what is interesting. i've been texting with someone in the republican party all evening, just saying look, so kevin mccarthy, likely to be speaker then because he will be the head of the republican party in the house. and he said to me, hold on a 2nd. if big that the majority for the republicans is small, there is no guarantee that kevin mccarthy gets the support. he needs to be speaker . they could well ask someone else to do the job. so that would be interesting as well. just looking at one of the governor races, you'll remember that job by them went to new york that was seen as a surprise at look if you're campaigning, an estate, there's normally overwhelming democratic than you're in trouble. that sent the idea that there could be a red wave. kathy hoko has one at the governor's race in new york at patty murray in washington state. she is tipped to when they are not confirmed,

but she is doing well. that is the seat that the republicans thought they could steal and the senate and just going back to your, remember we said vermont had this evening enshrined the right to abortion in the constitution. after a vote. michigan has done the same. they have no said the abortion as a right that will be recognized in the state, of course, abortion, very much, one of the key issues for joe biden and the republicans as it and the democrats, as we went into this midterm election. okay, alan, thanks so much and bring his wrap of all the news from the house. that's great. let's not go to google as on days live 1st in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. a couple of big races that we want to talk to you about gabe new hampshire festival. maggie, half an democrats, we breathing a sigh of relief that she managed to keep hold of her seat. yeah, that's right. democrats were a little worried about new hampshire. they were expected to win new hampshire and

hold on to that senate seat. but in the last month or so, as there was talk about potentially this red wave as we've been talking about, they said that a hassan put a hat on could potentially be swept out of office. if this red wave materialized while their peers, it is not. and a new hampshire voters have spoken, and maggie hassan will hold on to her senate seat. they're a little more than 50 percent of the vote in, but she's got such a big lead there. ah, so far that, that race is now been called. i saw had a huge in my money advantage. she had $36000000.00 in the bank. her opponent to conservative republican a ted bud only had 2000000, but he was campaigning very aggressively and really appeared like he was really closing the gap at the end there. as the democrats were very worried about that, but their breathing a huge sigh of relief. maggie hassan winning that a senate seat in new hampshire and holding that for the democrats. not. it's not

some good night for the democrats in north carolina. ted buds he managed to win against shy beesley. it said bud, 3 term congress person for from a north carolina, held on to that whole one. that seat has an open seat there with the retiring a senator in north carolina. this was one that the republicans thought that they were going to win and they clearly have, ah, the polls were showing 4 to 5, maybe even 6 percent to lead for bud going into the election. however. busy the democrat sherry visally performed much better than democrats thought she was going to, based on what the polling was looking at. so even where democrats are losing and north carolina has a case here, they performed a little better than the polls were indicating a consolation prize. if you will,

but north carolina are going to the republicans. this is a conservative. has the republican ted bud, ah, very anti abortion. he takes that seat there. okay, let's go to carrie lake now she's speaking there. let's use our zona, that's, that's now just want you to know it's early. it's very early and if we have to take this fight through, we will, if it takes hours or days we will. but the great news is, every single drop of election ballot that have come in the last 3 drops have shown us up 85 percent, 87 percent. 81 percent. i just want i just want the propaganda is back there to know. don't embarrass yourselves, don't embarrass yourselves. don't do it again. you've done it too many times. but what i want you to know is

that the same movement we had last night at that reli impressed get the same movement we had at that rally and scottsdale. 6 the same movement we had at the rallies we've had before with record people is the same movement we have right. this 2nd, nothing has changed. oh, in a, in, i want you to know we're going to monitor the balance. we got to work in the system that we have right now and as they continue to come in and our numbers go up up up like they did last time. when we, when 1st line of action is to restore honesty to arizona elections. as can really lucy is running for governor seat of our is sona. she is

running against katie holmes, could help being democrats and kerry lake being republican. i can bring the numbers up to see how they're getting on. bout about 50 percent, about half the votes being counted, katie hobbs is in the leads that it's so quite a long way to go. before we get a result there. kerry lake is has rather being cooled. the queen of dis, information. i was only one of those battle ground states that we've been monitoring and one country the that is trending on the line. so let's do a little bit more about that. right, laura? well, it's called a hash tag, maricopa county, it's trending on line. and it's also going, this conversation continues to grow with carrie lake, writing about voter alert fraud, and it's home. this county is home to nearly 2 3rd of arizona's population. that's more than 4000000 people. it's a battle ground county within

a battle ground state and voters there say they've had problems voting due to long lines and machine malfunctions a course that on election day. and that will never happen right now. no, never this clip of an election official in maricopa county has been going viral among republican voters, specifically on social media. it's already been viewed more than 4000000 times. the long lines have only fueled conspiracy theories that the machine issues are an attempt to suppress the republican vote. i just came out of voting in maricopa county, which is my county, and it was an absolute nightmare. they were having the same problem and printing out 2 ballots for people because of these white speck marks, apparently. and it wasn't reading it and it refused to take my ballot. someone

somewhere needs to stand up and fight for people like me and all the other people to i was even in line with their concern and worried about this horrific process that we just went through. while election deniers are calling this voter suppression, the head of elections for maricopa county says it all just came down to a faulty printer. he says, all votes will be counted and the line wait times were exaggerated, but the conversation has grown so much so that even former president, donald trump wade n, don't leave your line, stay where you are. they say that the machines are working and they say that they're running out of paper in different locations throughout different states. there's a lot of bad things going on. stay on the line, do not believe. i know you don't want to be there as long as they're going to try and force you. they want to do a you out of voting. there was an emergency motion to extend pull hours in the county, but a judge deny that. that motion. but those line who were in line were still able to

vote. now if you are in the states and had trouble voting, we want to hear from you, you can let us know with the hash tag, ha, mid terms. well, that's it for us. but back to laura leah, thanks very much. indeed. nick is straight back to washington dc where we can join patty with her panel of guests over to patty. thanks so much. lauren, we're starting, we're ending this coverage with the people we began it with is excellent panel is jennifer victor, a professor of political science at george mason university, arshad hassan, a democratic strategist, and james davis, a republican strategist. so a lot of talk and going into this because of the inflation crime. republican said the advantage they were just talking about like in bush when he got thumped or he took a thumping in the mid terms. remember that he lost 30 seats obama the show lacking was 63. that was us shall, lacking. and also pretty much obama be the only person who could get away with

using the word shall, lacking. okay, we're starting to get a clear picture. so real quick asked you this the beginning of the night, i mean, ask you this now end of the day house republican pick up seats. how many gender her? i my i've, i feel like it hasn't changed all night. i feel like we haven't seen any big upsets . we've seen lots of very smooth election administration despite a couple of hiccups in maricopa canny county and a few other places. i think a lot of this has been some sort of has matter expectations. so i'm, i'm thinking we're gonna look at overall, maybe democrats are gonna lose around 20 ish seats in the end. so republicans pick up 15. yeah. okay. i ran hopeful that debra guys will keep more seats than we lost under obama or that republicans last to under bush bird if there was going to be a red wave. we'd have seen it. okay, james, i'm looking at closer to twenty's no seats, but i would say just to add some context when you see how the resounding vickery in

florida with rubio and de santis and the environment actually. so something more bit more candidates aren't rebelling on the republican side. very, a lot of close races out there, so a lot still to be seen. okay, the senate, cuz that's very important. just a r r international audio might not be aware of this, but what the things joe by president, job id been able to do so successfully is get a whole lot of judges into position. can't do that if mitch mcconnell controls the senate. also keep in mind there's a lot of elderly supreme court justices mitch mcconnell bill as shown, if he's in power and as the seat needs to be filled, he will hold it. so. busy what are we thinking about the senate? well, i don't want to start rumors of anybody's premature demise. no, no, i'm just to butcher a mark twain quote. but, you know, the senate is, is too close to call. i think it's, you know, we should expect that we might not know which party controls the senate at the earliest, i'm thinking thursday, but it might not be until december 6th,

after we have a run off in georgia. we don't yet know if george is going to be a run off, but that it's looking very close. and so i think that the real possibility there, pennsylvania still looks like it's very close. nevada looks very close and then there was some other hiccup. and i can't remember now that's gonna delay some nevada reporting. so i think it'll be a while before we know which party controls the senate. okay, i shot it. i mean it, but i can tell you it gives me hope here is that many of the votes are counted or are in places that republicans hold advantages in georgia, the rural and suburban counties are mostly tallied. we're waiting for atlanta in pennsylvania. the rural and suburban counties are tallied marine for philadelphia. these are huge democratic strongholds, so that both that will be coming in our early votes that still have to be reported . and urban votes that generally go for democrats. so i feel good about the senate meeting face. i think republicans agree narrowly iq out of the lead in here in the senate a day. ah, where's the pick up i well, i'm not sure because it is

a toss up in a couple places, right? but i'm just kind of going with the fill of the votes. if you talk about the big cities like atlanta in philadelphia, and i say that those cities are largely changing a commonwealth foundation, pole, and pennsylvania. show that 7 out of 10 pennsylvanians have considered moving. and where they're considering moving places like florida and that, that is a pretty big number for you to see. i you, that facility and atlanta are no longer democratic. i'm not saying they're no longer democratic. but what i am saying is that democrats have been very good at getting the early bowden. it's a lot easier to kind of go out and get those early vote in and turn on voters or early in those urban cities. and so i don't know that we'll see the massive disparity that we have seen in the past from the urban centers. okay, that's as okay, so let's say just for the sake of argument that kevin mccarthy picks up 15

seats. and i've heard from both democrats and republicans strategist that, that might be worst case scenario for him. and like, literally crazy, this is my line, but is he gonna last longer than a head of lettuce? i mean, liz, because he's got the republican party, is god fairly vocal, fairly sizeable, very at extreme. i think it's fair to say they're extreme. i mean, when you have a merger, taylor green chasing down a parkland shooting school survivor through through capitol hill and seen so many outlandish things that she gets kicked off all her committees. how does he control if he only has 15? i mean, let's see. we saw what happened with job, i'd need mentors, mansion and cinema, and they basically said, yes, no, you can, you know, do you entire shoes today? so let me ask you, james a. how does kevin mccarthy control them? does he last longer than a head of lettuce?

i think that you ultimately have to do it by giving people something to be for there are, i believe some, some politicians that are, that it will likely take office that don't have as much of pull a policy background. right. and so, if you give them some real policy solutions that they can dig their teeth into on how to address the rise and by one kron ah, how to address the inflation. i mean, i would be immediately rolling out of slew of bills, but you know, focus on deregulation from regulation and inflation to innovation. i would package it up and i would sell to the american people and i would go out and make that case . and i think a lot of folks will get on board with that. and you can start to gain some traction as a leader. you know, putting those. i see that that's the centrist republicans for a that's, that's, hadn't been at all. nobody really that. ok, so it was not what they're talking about. they're talking about, eat the republic. they're there, impeaching joe biden, and launching in impeaching the homeland security secretary and investigating the

president's son. and so i think there's a lot of debt in trails there and they would be ill advised to to take that task. i shouldn't, they won't, they get enough political, they'll get political play and the air time that they're looking for it. where i mean, the, the, the faction and the republican party, i think that patty is talking about, are those that aren't really interested in solutions. they're interested in attention. but the, but the problem, the problem is if you, if they take that task, if they don't take past than their term will be short, it will be limited. well yeah, because for the ultimate alternately i believe the american b o people pub hold, hold people accountable for the decisions that they may do you 30 man ever benji later. mercury. taylor green yet. i mean, but i believe that ultimately, you know, it, they provide some solutions and that i believe there are solutions that they can gains track with, with i believe their solutions that even they can get bipartisan. when's with the, with president button? i hope to see an immigration package that secures the border,

but also welcomes in immigrants who want to contribute possibly to our, to our country, into our culture. you can't keep kick in the can't down the road. that's what leadership takes. i believe that's what the american people deserve, and that's what they should do. i said the to answer your question here. because the, the majority will be so narrow, what ends up happening as at the most implacable people end up getting disproportion mounts, power. take a look at the most implacable people in the republican caucus, the lauren boberski and the marjorie taylor greens, their districts are secure because they've been so jerry mannered, they're not going anywhere and that they're not afraid of anything, but they're presently showing gerrymandering to our audience that's when they draw congressional districts so that they basically are choosing their voters, not the notary land. exactly. so because of this and because those voters don't really have really a lot of options there, they can continue to be extreme and be reactionary without a whole lot of cost. and that gives kevin mccarthy's term is speakership,

are really limited amount of power and ability to do anything. what can you do if just a few people can derail your entire agenda? mean you can aster biden, us not a whole lot. ok, i have one minute left, so i'm just going to ask you a scale of one to 10, or what use choose your adjective? oh, ugly. is it going to get in washington with threats about the debt ceiling and the image? i mean, just how ugly is this going to get jennifer if republicans control both chambers, i think it'll be pretty ugly. and i expect that joe biden will probably be in peach for what i don't know. doesn't matter. to me. i mean, i like to lay republican congressman will i really need it, right. i, i like james's vision. i would like to think that people that we elect to the u. s . house of representatives and the senate act in good faith and are there to help meet the problems of the of the country. but we, we, the extremism and our politics suggests that there are some people that are more interested in their own reelection and attention,

and advancing their own power sense of power. i. this is a dream house, asia believe there's a psy jordy. we can agree with these solutions and american politics and they're starving for it. and so we're minute huge opportunity. i doubt about it. all right, you guys have a so enlightening. you have been so much fun. i just can't tell you how much i've enjoyed writing this. leave your selection. i thank you so much. really, it's going to be interesting. the days ahead. you can say that, right? it's a nice way to say it. interesting. so anyway, for of everyone here in d. c in the team, thanks so much for letting us sa, muddy as hope to inform you. and we hope you have a wonderful evening. that's it for now from washington fatty brain, i have a strong family, are going to continue that conversation that long after the cameras have gone. it's been very enlightening for us to thank so much for joining us. okay, i'm gonna bring you another raise. the governor raised from pennsylvania that judge shapiro has taken that from doug mastery on in

a josh was the incumbent. what a sorry he was the company. josh was the favorite to win that one. it was important race for him to win. as doug must yano is an election, a key election denial. so da shapiro has one governor for pennsylvania. let's now go over to hydro castro for another governor, raised wisconsin. is that still too close to cool? how that doing? laura, it indeed is still too close to call, in fact only about some $20000.00 boats separate. the 2 candidates in the lead currently is the democratic incumbent tony e verse. he is trying to defend his governor's seat from his republican challenger tim michaels. but again, this is only about 20000 votes in between those 2 at this moment,

which was to be expected given in such a evenly divided swing state like wisconsin. we're also seeing similar dynamics in the u. s. senate race here in wisconsin. again, critical as we narrow down to which party controls the congress were seen about 70000 boats now separating ron johnson, the republican incumbent from his democratic challenger. vandella barnes, that's with 85 percent of boats being counted. so we may not have a true result until tomorrow. okay, well, we'll certainly come back to some more for that then. hi, thanks very much. let's go live now to john henderson. he's in atlanta, georgia, where the policy may have died down a little bit. amazingly, it's been going on for hours, rougher warner he did make and apparently didn't. he's pulled ahead slightly. a few 100 votes in the senate to race. but perhaps the reason that he's not reaching 50

percent is because of the libertarian on the ballot. ah, that's right, the libertarian is getting about 2 percentage points. his name is for debbie oliver, that's a well known user, but that 2 percent of the vote one would expect that you have come from the republic inside. libertarians are a little closer to republicans and herschel walker, the republican heating a candidate. there are a number of republicans who said they could not vote for him so far. yes, were not came out. he said he might come back later and give us a little more. but this race is still too close to call and it's looking increasing like it will go to run off on december 8th, or find out in the coming hours. okay. don't that many thanks indeed, brings the latest there from georgia. that brings us to the end of our special coverage of the us mid term elections fort.
