there are two parts to the big picture. the house where all 435 seats are on the ballot and the republicans need to gain five seats to gain control. in the senate 35 seats are up for grabs and flipping just one gives control to republicans. cnn's political director joins us now with many ways the senate races could play out. david, democrats obviously looking to hang on to their slim control of the senate. what are the key races to be watching there? >> this is the current makeup of the 50/50 senate. the red and blue states are the ones you mentioned the 35 senate elections that will be on the ballot on tuesday. but it really is going to come down to six states that will determine control of the senate. you have the four states where democratic incumbents are imperiled, new hampshire, georgia, arizona, and nevada, and then those two currently republican held states in wisconsin and pennsylvania.

so these six tossup states, how they fall will determine control of the senate. as you noted, anderson, the democrats have control right now. all they need to do is hold their own. if their four vulnerable incumbents hang on the dems would be at 50 and they'd have vice president harris's tie and would be able to hang on to control. >> what happens if one of those democratic incumbents comes up short? >> well, let's for the purposes of this exercise take a look at new hampshire. brand new poll just came out today from the university of new hampshire. total tossup race. much more competitive at the end than anticipated. let's say democratic incumbent maggie hassan can hang on there. in georgia, let's assume for a moment that raphael warnock defeats herschel walker there and that mark kelly can hang on against blake masters in arizona there. but for the purpose of this exercise let's assume catherine

cortez masto the democratic incumbent falls in nevada and adam laxall wins this race here. you have these two republican held seats. pennsylvania is so important. let's say ron johnson wins in wisconsin. everything comes down to pennsylvania. the whole reason why democrats are making such a play with john fetterman is because here is a state joe biden won, currently republican held, but an open seat. they think maybe they can flip it as an insurance policy in case one of their incumbents falls. >> obviously in 2020 control of the senate wasn't settled until well after election day because the georgia candidates went to a run-off. there could be a run-off again in georgia. >> yeah, there could be indeed. let me unassign georgia and put that back in a battle groun territory there. say for a moment john fetterman does the win battle against mehmet oz in pennsylvania.

look at what you have here. you have swapped, the democrats lost nevada but picked up in pennsylvania, a swap. georgia is unassigned. if neither candidate gets 50% and it goes to december 6th entire control of the senate comes down to georgia again. if the republicans get it they win and if the democrats get it they'd be back at a 50/50 senate. the entire political universe will descend on georgia for four weeks if that is the scenario. >> that'll be fun. thank you very much. the new kid on the block served as campaign adviser to the former president. david, what senate races will you be watching particularly? which are you most concerned about? >> okay. as the pennsylvanian, right? i was chief of staff for a senator for pennsylvania for years and years and your former panelist, i helped get charlie elected. i have more than my fair share of interest in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. i heard david's analysis and

democrats are banking on flipping pennsylvania. i think if that is their plan they'll be hurting on election night. i do think, i've been saying all year, don't sleep on tiffany smiley in washington state. it is an incredibly close race. the fact patty murray is in a battle for her life is very telling about the current political climate. tiffany smiley is an incredible candidate. one to watch. late at night into the early morning. other than oz and all the others tiffany smiley in washington state. >> what are the odds the democrats can hang on to control of the senate? >> look, i think it is challenging for democrats to hang on to the senate because they have so many, you know, david said if they hold on to their four vulnerable seats they'll -- they're fine. well, they are vulnerable seats. hanging on to all four is going to be a challenge. you know, dave mentioned the washington race, now the new hampshire race coming into the

picture. i don't know that democrats will lose those races. that would be a stunning development. it does speak to the kind of year we're in, in which the ties don't go to the incumbents but the challenging party. i think that is the concern a lot of democrats have right now >> i was in new hampshire. and sort of mid october. and there was standing room only. he has done 80 town halls, been a very good candidate. maggie hassan, former governor, senator, good candidate as well. but for new hampshire he was really getting the crowd. you have to say to yourself, what is going on in new hampshire? if it is going on there, what about the rest of the country? now of course that race is too close to call. >> he is one who will benefit from the fact the incumbent

governor is incredibly popular so if you are just voting down ballot i think that is his best bet. this is a candidate, brian bolduc, sununu was distancing himself in the primary. he is a bit extreme. he is a war hero with a very interesting history. it speaks to how bad the environment is for democrats that an incumbent relatively popular senator like hassan is having such a hard time. >> sununu called him a crazy conspiracy theorist. >> in a nice way. >> then he took it back, oh, you know we all have to vote republican. >> the numbers are really telling. nbc just had a poll out 81%, those numbers, that is a change election. it doesn't matter who you are. if you are the incumbent you're in big trouble. >> particularly, dave, when you look at the economic situation, you know, the numbers are similar when people are asked to rate the economy. so it is a tough environment. you mentioned governor sununu. i think democrats were relieved

when he decided not to run for the senate, thinking well at least here is one we don't have to worry about as much. now they do. same in arizona where doug doocy the governor was run out of the potential of running for senate because donald trump was mad at him for certifying the election. >> i see pennsylvania a little differently than you. >> that's why we're on the panel. >> look, i think fetterman is a, is real. and i think there is nothing wrong with fetterman that is not going to heal. he is doing very well for a stroke victim. this time next year he'll be perfectly fine. the stuff wrong with oz will never heal. he has been a snake oil salesman and people know that. there is a sense that he's not, he is a big phony. it is unfortunate, he probably should have done the debate. there are people out there that understand pennsylvania matters. i've talked to a lot of people on the ground and people are fighting for fetterman and he is

fighting for them. there is more going on here than i think we can know. things that are happening that are weird, for instance when people go knock on doors you don't know what was on that person's phone a few minutes ago. micro targeting going on, social media stuff going on. not just the big ads. we talk about the ads, politicians, big speeches. that is not where people are living. people aren't even watching tv. >> we hope so. >> they're not watching tv the way they used to. there is stuff going on that's moving and i just don't want to depress any turn out here. i think there is a real fight in pennsylvania and fetterman has a real shot. >> quick counter on that one, right? i wish the debate would have been more substantive. i'd have liked to have heard from john fetterman why he voted over 200 times on the parole board in opposition to the guy he's running with as the attorney general. he voted to parole people, pardon people. and the attorney general josh shapiro voted not to.

i'd like to hear those cases litigated out in the public forum and say, why did you vote that way? i'd like to hear his answer on what -- he couldn't help revive braddock the town he was mayor of. >> you can't talk about oz. >> no. >> oz is completely, a reason you ran a campaign against the guy. he is completely -- a complete phony. >> another candidate who had a better shot. >> oz is deeply unpopular. i mean his favorable rating is like 38%. something like that. if he wins, there is a bigger thing going on as you're saying. >> fair enough. >> people don't like him. >> every one of the republican challengers in these key races are under water. which tells you about the year. i don't know what is going to happen. people should work and fight in a wholesome way and come out and vote.

democrats have the wind in their face. >> we'll talk about some of the closest races including wisconsin where senator ron johnson is locked in a tight race and also more on the impact of the former president in this election and his appearances this weekend and also the waves he continues to make as he teases a run in 2024. we'll be right back. heir insura, it was no costst to them. >> woman: really? >> tecech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ among my patients, i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. sensyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

to go. the polls have shown no clear leader between the two. they've been trying to find the edge, some sort of daylight in the final hours. it is part of why lieutenant governor mandela barnes the democratic candidate was campaigning with the president of planned parenthood today with the chair of the dnc on the tail end of his a hundred plus stop rv tour. they told us their strategy at the end is to meet as many people as they can, meet them where they are, and not assume anyone's vote on the issues that matter. senator ron johnson on the tail end of his own bus tour where it is expected to finish tomorrow as he appears along side former governor and u.n. ambassador nikki haley. >> you spoke about a local official fired over alleged ballot requests. what did he have to say? >> part of why senator johnson this week says i sure hope i can accept the results of tuesday's election is he cited a case out of milwaukee of a now former election official who allegedly obtained military ballots for

fake voters. take a listen to some of our exchange. >> it doesn't make you feel better that she got caught in this instance? >> she got caught by and being prosecuted by and defended by a bunch of democrats. i don't know, i do not know what is happening. it is the most bizarre story. it's just suspicious. and we should be doing everything we can to restore confidence. we want full transparency, full access. if that happens, and that's what needs to happen, then i'll accept the results. >> reporter: now, for the record the wisconsin elections commission, the state elections commission here, said no votes were affected by this particular case and that the system worked as it should have because this person was caught. not to mention military ballots make up less than 1% of the ballots that are requested or counted on average here. that said, the elections

commission and local jurisdictions are clearly going to have their work cut out for them as we head into election day because there will be many who will be looking for even the slightest irregularity no matter how significant they end up being or not. >> thanks so much. back with the panel. you know, all of this talk about transparency and restoring confidence. i mean, that is all just, those are code words. there is no widespread voter fraud. >> right. senator johnson has been a purveyor of conspiracy theories from the beginning and was also involved in communicating back and forth on the issue of false electors. he's deeply, deeply rooted in this whole denialism. generally he's been a little bit bizarre at times and that is the reason that he is unpopular in that state. what he has done is what unpopular candidates do, which is he spent the month of

september and october trying to make mandela barnes the issue and particularly his roots in the activist community there, tried to tie him to the defund police movement. and as with other states the crime issue has cut there. it's turned what was a barnes lead into a, maybe a slightly uphill battle for him. >> i mean, johnson was considered the most vulnerable senator, the most vulnerable senator. he has successfully made this caricature out of mandela barnes. you can make the case though that barnes was too progressive for the state of wisconsin. that may be a real problem for the democrats that perhaps they could have run a better candidate, a different candidate let me put it that way. barnes has been a very good candidate. somebody with different credentials to run in the state of wisconsin. >> it is just so heart breaking because he is a good guy.

he's a strong guy. he believes what he believes. i don't think he is as out of touch as caricatured. not to forget we are going up against a republican party that just took away women's rights, that had an insurrection they don't seem to think was a bad thing. that is still doing election lie stuff and has a bunch of terrible candidates. >> and still can't win. man. you guys suck. >> and i think that is -- if you get beneath all the chatter what you have right now is you have a bunch of democrats across the country. there is a fear and a dread in the pit of the stomach that after all we've been through as the country, having seen the capitol ransacked and donald trump promoting these lies and all of these republicans going along with nonsense that somehow still we can't convince the american people that taking a big u-turn back toward these republicans, not just republicans but these republicans is a bad idea.

>> you're going to have wins. in pennsylvania you got doug ma mastriano against shapiro. wes moore. these bright spots. in florida, bright spots for democrats who are -- >> this shows you how confident republicans -- he is now doing therapy. [ laughter ] >> thank you. that is how bad it is going to be. wow. all right. >> mandela barnes was a recruitment failure by democrats. if they had run more of a tim ryan kind of race ron johnson would be in a much tougher place in wisconsin. they needed to run a moderate who is talking to working class people, talking about getting the economy going, being a defender of the voices that aren't heard. that is not what he is leaning into. once again just making abortion your whole identity is not the winning issue that will turn people out. frankly it is a privilege in an economy where most people can't

make ends meet to be able to be a single issue voter on something like reproductive rights and that is where democrats are majorly missing the mark in this cycle. >> thank you all so much for joining us. just ahead a live report from miami. trailing the former president tonight. he and florida governor ron desantis holding rallies one day after the former president took an unmistakable swipe at the man who may challenge him for the 2024 republican party nomination for president. we'll go there live ahead. sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effectct ththat really takes care of bototh our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's s no question it's something that i would recommend.

took a swipe at governor desantis over what he says is his popularity among voters. >> we are winning big, big, big in the republican party for the nomination like nobody has ever seen before. that's -- there it is. trump at 71. ron desanctimonious at 10%. >> cnn is in miami trailing the former president. what more can you tell us about how governor desantis factored into the former president's speech tonight? >> reporter: well, anderson, trump sounded completely different talking about desantis

tonight. not only did he mention the florida governor but encouraged everyone in the court to go out and re-elect him. this might seem surprising since normally we hear the former president double down not change course when he starts to insult someone. it is a lot less surprising when you understand how annoyed and even angry so many republicans were that the former president chose to take a swipe at governor desantis just days before the midterm. i cannot tell you the number of people i talked to, even trump allies, who said they were trying to get in touch with members of trump's inner circle to tell them to tell trump he had made a mistake. now, this has the potential between former president trump and ron desantis to get very ugly in the future. we have reported just last week that trump is eying the two weeks between the midterms and thanksgiving to launch a third presidential run. and desantis is largely considered trump's most formidible opponent if he should run as well.

the thing to note here is that republicans understand this could get complicated between the two. they just thought trump's timing was off doing this so close to the midterms. >> how much of the rally the former president gave in florida was about supporting marco rubio's campaign and how much was it about the former president's own ambitions? >> reporter: well, there was no real reason for him to campaign in miami. we see him traveling the country giving a boost to his hand picked candidates many of whom are in locked races. that is not the case in florida. senator marco rubio is a favorite in every single poll he is leading. there was a lot of confusion as to why former president trump chose to come here. that is why it was seen as a shot across the bow toward ron desantis. again, as both of them are seeming more and more likely to run for president in 2024. i will tell you i heard from one trump ally when this rally was announced who said oh, well we might be trolling a little bit

here. clearly, approaching the governor on his home turf. it has been interesting to see how the two have largely avoided each other until now even though both of them are the leading republicans not just in the state of florida but really in the country. >> perspective now from contributing columnist to "the washington post," what did you make of the former president rolling out the nickname maybe from roger stone about desantis? >> well the former president does not like sharing attention with anyone. he doesn't like anybody potentially challenging him. ron desantis has gotten a lot of play on fox news and in conservative circles as a potential challenger to trump so trump doesn't like that and thinks, and it has been reported that desantis has not properly paid homage to trump in the way trump believes he should have been paying homage and trump

believes he is the basically reason why ron desantis is governor of florida today. >> do you think the former president is going to announce? >> yeah. i absolutely do think he is going to announce sooner rather than later. i think he has been itching to do it. i think he wants to do it because he wants to clear the field and deter other people from running and he wants revenge for everything that, all the persecution he feels has been laid upon him over the past several years and it is going to be a rough campaign and also i think he thinks that this is a form running for president is a form of protection against criminal prosecution. he faces major, major criminal issues particularly in the documents that the mar-a-lago documents case about the top-secret documents that he stole. you know, running for president is a way of he thinks defending

himself. >> do you think he is right? >> i don't think so because i think the evidence will determine what the justice department does both in that case and in the january 6th case and is also going to determine what happens in georgia where there is a very serious investigation quite far along. >> the -- do you think governor desantis is the most formidible of potential primary opponents for the president? i don't know if desantis would run if the president announces >> i think he, if i had to pick one person to run against him who might have a chance it would be desantis. but i don't think he is as good a candidate as people make him out to be. the fact is he has a lot of popularity. the problem is the only way he could beat trump would be in a one-on-one race, which he -- and in a race where basically he goes after trump hammer and tong. it would be a brutally divisive

race. even if desantis managed to pull it off he'd have a good chunk of the republican base angry at him. i don't think it is surprising that donald trump toned it down today about desantis. if i were advising donald trump i'd say, look, moron. you go after desantis he is the guy who is going to win next tuesday by 10 or 15 points. if you go after him again you'll look like a jerk because the next day the story is going to read, ron desantis wins landslide victory despite trump attack. so that is why he has toned that down. i can guarantee after next tuesday you'll hear more of that language. >> cnn reported that the justice department is considering special counsel if trump runs in 2024 to help oversee federal investigations related to him. i mean, if he does announce how could that potentially complicate things for the doj?

>> well, the doj has to make a decision whether it really matters. the fact of the matter is trump has been making clear he is going to be a candidate and is a major figure in the republican party and has been doing that for two years. in january of 2021 a couple weeks after january 6th i wrote an op-ed in "the washington post" arguing that there should be multiple special counsels appointed to look at trump's conduct divided by subject matter. the justice department decided to keep it all in house. i think the problem of doing it at this point would be that it causes delay that i don't think is a good idea. i think if they made the choice to keep it in house then they should probably stick with that. >> even having a special counsel is not like that would stop the former president from impuning their motives and attacking them. we've seen that script before.

>> absolutely right. he attacks judges. he attacked the judge in new york. he'll attack anybody no matter what their pedigree is as being part of the conspiracy against him. you know, it is, he is going to make it a political mud bath no matter what happens. >> new details on how spanish speaking communities are being inundated with election misinformation and conspiracy theories and a look at how it is easily spreading. because it penetrates deep into the toothth to help actively repair acid-weakened enamel. i recommend pronamel repaiair to my patients. this is remington. he's a member of the family, for sure. we always fed him kibble it just seemed like the thing to do.

this election season both democrats and republicans have been pushing specifically made pushes i should say specifically targeting hispanic voters. according to the pew research institute the fastest growing group in the electoral and the number of eligible voters increased by nearly 5 million since 2018 but spanish speaking communities are also being flooded with dismfgs and conspiracy theories much through social media. >> we are sitting in a home where i used to break bread with republicans who i've now been radicalized. >> reporter: for some latinos here in south florida election lies have ruptured friendships and split families. >> is dividing our families but also creating a lot of distrust

in spanish speaking voters. >> reporter: the same kind of election lies and even qanon conspiracy theories that circulate in english also go viral among the spanish speaking community. >> you can see disinformation in english and in two or three days you can see the disinformation with captions in spanish. >> reporter: this is a journalist who had to flee venezuela and is now a spanish language fact checker and says some of the disinformation is targeted at immigrants from specific countries. so the narrative that the biden administration is a socialist, communist regime? >> for people that came from cuba, venezuela, nicaragua, this is scary. if what your friends or family are telling you the democrats are radical socialists. they're the same as what chavez brought to venezuela. >> reporter: her phone is filled with disinformation from her friends and relatives including

qanon type lies about pedophelia and the democratic party. >> i don't want my grandchildren living in a society that does not condemn pedophelia. >> reporter: she volunteered for the biden campaign in 2020 and says the democrats should not ignore disinformation. >> so in spanish, if you stay silent you're conceding the point. >> reporter: what is the fra is -- phrase in spanish? >> you are essentially acknowledging it is true. >> reporter: are you seriously saying democrats should be out there saying joe biden is not a pedophile responding to every meme? >> when there is a narrative created and people on the ground are telling you this is having an impact, you should at a minimum listen and try to come up with a strategy to counter it. >> reporter: one of the challenges of tackling spanish disinformation is so much is spread on the messaging platform what is up.

messages are enrupted so fact check labels can't be used like on facebook, twitter, and youtube. >> why is it happening now? i think it is very simple. the stakes are very high. >> reporter: a global fact checker says the disinformation is aimed at winning critical latino votes. >> the spanish american voters are very crucial in many of the races. it is different in different parts of the country. there are some very important key political races that are being targeted with this misinformation. >> i became a democrat the week after the november 2020 election when i saw that republicans were in denial about what was a fear of free and fair elections. >> reporter: jc is a former republican florida house representative and now lectures on the electoral system. you said you've lost friends because of this. >> one of the fears of the hispanic community is we're going to have socialism and a socialist dictatorship. the best way to make sure that we do not have socialism is to

protect our democracy. if we protect our democracy, we can survive. >> how big a role does what's app play? >> it is used far more by people who can speak spanish than only english speakers. it is a very different platform to the likes of facebook. it is more like a messaging app. there is no fact checking there. every single person we spoke to brought up whatsapp and seeing this stuff. all of the qanon crazy as the fact checker mentioned the qanon stuff gets translated very quickly and sent around these networks. >> is there anything to be done to counter the spread of this stuff? >> yeah. the fact checkers in spanish who are working, we have heard from a lot of latino groups recently saying the major platforms while they're investing big in english fact checking are not doing as much in spanish. the platforms are saying they're doing what they can.

i think this issue of whatsapp is kind of the core of all of this because people like using it because it is an encrypted messenger and people want privacy. that being said some of the groups can have hundreds of people in them and it just begins to look like your kind of standard social media feed and you see all kinds of junk in there. >> appreciate it. still to come why president biden and other top democrats are campaigning on what is traditionally safely democratic territory in new york and why the problems for democrats in the northeast don't stop there.

extraordinary amount of money that is pummelling these candidates with that particularly that new york governor's race. they quite frankly didn't expect tens of millions of dollars to be dropped on the head to push a narrative to boost it. we knew this would be a tough cycle for democrats historically, the party in power, whoever is in power in the presidency majorities and losing seats this cycle with uniform control that would be more so but certainly, yes, democrats are on defense and republicans in the northeast, new england don't have a single seat in the house of representative so starting from zero, got nothing to lose. >> the issues on the economy, on crime have certainly been pushed by republicans and that seems to be working for them. did democrats rely too much thinking the issue of aabortion the idea of democracy on the ballot and democracy in danger and not enough on economic

issues, you know, bread and potato issues? >> so, i think that is a narrative that ends up nationally when you look at the races in the northeast, that's not the case. the seat in northern maine held by jared golden is by a conservative. that seat is a swing seat every cycle. the house seat you referenced, congressman chris papas was redr redrawn by republicans. papas is still up in the polls. the races in connecticut are still actually favoring democrats although they're tighter, right? without question. again, some national historic trends there make it difficult. when it comes down to it, house races in many of these are ballot test incumbents that know how to run tough races. they have headwinds but trying

to say in northern maine is a narrative republicans are using in southern florida to split the seat isn't the case. >> many republican contenders in the north east seem to be branding themselves as more mouth rid than maga counter parts in other areas of the country. do you believe they actually are? >> no. in fact, i don't. that new hampshire house race the challenge to congressman papas a congress staffer. the challenge between senator hassen you referenced is in fact a conspiracy theorist all over the map on a number of positions whether election integrity, abo abortion, otherwise trying to have it both ways. republicans have spent millions of dollars supporting him because they want the seat in the senate, not because he's actually reflective of the people's voices in new hampshire. so look, we're at a point where republicans become so triable. you're at literally two days before an election and republicans will support whatever candidates are on the field. that's what they're doing.

you can't tell me honestly that herschel walker is more christian than a christian pastor running in that race given the scandals herschel walker address. it's laughable if it weren't, the consequences weren't so stark and severe. >> do you think of this as the natural ebb and flow of political parties? is this indicative of something more, a larger trend that could reshape politics in the region? >> i think of this as part of the ebb and flow of politics but like everything else these days, anderson, the ebb and flow put on top of jerry manld ergerrymad social media and everything else that amplifies the most extreme, the worst parts of our society trying to vilify and tear a country apart to win an election and look, this gets scarier and scarier. you covered the threats against congress. the targeting of family members

we saw this past week with speaker pelosi and her family. this is scary. it is a scary time to put yourself out there to run for public office, which is a tragedy for a country, right? truly a tragedy. so are there darker trends in force here? there are. is that a harbor for things to come? god, i hope not. >> appreciate your time. thank you. we'll be right back. but there are ways you can repair it. i'm excited about pronamel repair because it penetrates deep into t the tooth to help actively repair acid-weakened enamelel. i recommend pronamamel repair to my patients. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that.
