yesterday was election day. >> democrats were riding high. they lost the house. could lose the senate. great news, we didn't get beaten as badly as everyone expected us to do. >> good morning, good morning. after the marathon, we could use a little humor. we're so happy you could join us this morning. the balance of power still undecided. control still up in the air on the senate side. the race now hangs on two states and a runoff. talking about arizona, nevada. which party will win control here? >> also president biden hailing the mid-term results as a, quote, good day for democracy. remember, that was his closing arguments. the big question now, what does this all mean for 2024? >> timing is everything and former vice president mike pence seems to be taking advantage of what happened on tuesday

reflecting now in a new op ed on his new book that's coming out on his final days in office with former president trump. we'll tell you what he said about what went down behind the scenes. >> you're definitely right. interesting timing and a book. we're going to start with the waiting game here. it could be days, even weeks before all the votes are counted and control of congress is determined. in the house of representatives, republicans are in the lead with 209 seats inching closer to that magical number of 218 that they need to win the majority. democrats trailing 191. take a look at the closely watched house race in colorado's third congressional district. republican lauren boebert is in jeopardy of losing her seat by just 64 votes to adam frisch. you can truly say it's down to the wire. it is a cliche, but in this one, it really matters and it is true. harry entin is here.

good morning. >> good morning. >> can boebert hang on? can dems win the house? what's going on? >> i was not expecting this at all. i was quite surprised. i've never been in a situation where you haven't been able to call the house. republicans right now projected to win 209 seats. democrats 191. when we look where the parties are at, look at this, 2020 to 2015. how much closer could you possibly get? i guess you could get a little bit closer, but let's go into that colorado race you mentioned. lauren boebert, 64 votes. 64 votes she's behind. she has been closing so it's possible that she could lose but with some of those late-arriving ballots, don't be shocked if she does, in fact, eventually pull ahead. but this is just an indication of how close these races truly are, don. and it just gives you an indication that this is such a divided country. i mean, 220 to 215? my goodness gracious, don.

>> yeah. that was the house. what about the senate here? >> yeah. let's go over to the united states senate, right? let's go to the call races. we know georgia going to the runoff. let's zone in on arizona first which is uncalled at this particular point. mark kelly, of course, the democratic incumbent ahead. 51.4 to 46.4. we're always watching maricopa county because it contains the vast majority of votes. 53 to 44.9. there was a slew of maricopa votes that came in last night that was favorable towards the democratic candidate. we don't know about the rest of the votes. election day votes could be much more favorable to blake masters. let's zone out. great state of nevada. look at how tight this is. adam laxalt up 49.4 to katherine cortez masto.

catherine cortez masto leading. that is well below the base line of joe biden who won that county by 9.4 points back in 2020. there was a late slew of mail votes. a lot of mail votes. last night masto did very well. they have until the end of the week to get the votes in. so close. >> watch your language. >> that made me smile. that made me smile. >> for the second time in less than two years, georgia is preparing for a runoff election that could decide the balance of power in the senate. democrat raphael warnock and herschel walker failing to secure 50% of the vote. eva mckend in atlanta for cnn this morning. again, here we are. four weeks away from the runoff. how is the state preparing? what will this look like? >> reporter: well, poppy, right now the state is prepping ballots to be sent to counties

so those can get signed off on by november 14th. the absentee ballot process also open if people want to vote that way. lastly, we have learned that early voting could begin here as early as november 26th. so people actually won't have to wait until december 6th. they will be able to vote early if they choose. that was really key in the general election. we saw more than 2 million georgians get out and vote early. very popular to do so here. so georgians will have the opportunity to do so then. >> i think everyone is asking the question of where did those 2 plus percent of votes that went to the libertarian candidate, where did they go, right? did they go to war snok do they go to walker? i wonder what people on the ground are saying. >> so it's impossible to know for sure. typically libertarian candidates more in line with republicans but this is really a turnout game. this is what it is about. these campaigns now are assessing looking at who turned

out, who did not and now going back to the drawing board and trying to get every available voter. also governor kemp will not be at the top of the ticket so many republicans were sort of hopeful going into election night that herschel walker would be boosted by governor kemp. now not having governor kemp at the top of the ticket. not having the libertarian on the ballot, a very different scenario. it doesn't matter that senator warnock emerge with the most votes. they're basically back to square one, poppy. >> they are indeed, eva. it means a lot of work for you and our teams there over the next month. as eva noted, there are still races too close to call. democrats did outperform expectations, even their own on this mid-term election tuesday night. president biden tauted his party's performance. he even talked about his own political future and maybe a run in 2024. >> while we don't know all the

results yet, at least i don't know them all yet, here's what we do know. while the press and the pundits are predicting a giant red wave, it didn't happen. our intention is to run again. that's been our intention regardless of what the outcome of this election was. >> joining us now is cnn political commentator ashley allison. she worked on president biden's campaign. thanks for getting up so early for us. >> are you awake? >> i'm not a morning person but i'm here. >> you are now. >> i am now. >> i think all democrats are awake after what happened tuesday night. >> that's right. >> i want to get to what president biden said. that raised eyebrows. overall you thought that was going to be a very different press conference he was hosting. instead he came out and had a little bit of a victory lap. >> yeah. history tells us that dems should not have done this well this week. i have always felt that dems

were going to overperform because something different is happening in washington right now where politicians are starting to actually do their jobs and deliver for the people. the first year of biden's term he could not get a lot of big legislative victories outside of covid relief. couldn't get voting rights and police reform but they tried. voters saw that. he worked around student loan debt, looking to decriminalize marijuana and meeting the american people where they are. i think it was refreshing and most people had to pick who they were going to trust at the end of the day to get us into a better economic situation. honestly the dems when you had people still denying the election, voters just wanted to go. >> there's a lot to unpack there because two things that i noticed. the president out there speaking yesterday. the american people want to see more of that. i know the press would like it, but i think that he did a good job. >> yeah. >> people want to hear from the

president more. it may be an opportunity for him to be able to taut his accomplishments. i'm hearing people say, look, this is going to be one of the most successful presidents but that's not the narrative that you're hearing about president biden and secretly, if you look at history, as you said, he's winning. >> yeah. >> people are saying, should he flun 2024? the democrats are not accomplishing anything. we were saying is the closing message right? he got something right. >> he understood the complexity of voters. we received information. i've been saying this for a while, particularly on the back side of covid. i know it's still a real issue. people are in real life. we're here. we're doing this. voters are calculating their decisions in a more complex way. you cannot ignore roe and what that did. people always under estimate young voters. young voters -- >> they turned out and they're saying we turned out and we're going to hold you accountable. i think we saw that in the last two years and we're going to see that more. whether or not he runs in '24, i

appreciate him pacing it and saying he was going to wait until next year. >> why -- whoa, whoa, whoa. >> definitely pacing it. >> well, because i don't think you should be pressured by anyone to make a decision to run for president. it's a big choice. >> tom friedman's op ed is great. he starts out by saying you can hold off moving to canada. you don't have to call the embassy in new zealand about how to become a citizen there. his argument is not about one side or the other, it's about democracy. he said it survived. a little dinged up but it survived. on the biden front, was this more an approval of biden because the exit polls didn't show that? or a rejection of election denialism. >> i think it's an and. voters i don't think only voted for the economy and roe, they looked at all of the issues and made a combined decision. >> depended on the candidate because one candidate didn't -- work work in one place. works in one place and not in

another. that's what happened with shaun patrick maloney. >> that's right. >> you have to pick the candidate that's right for where you are. >> there is likely to be split ticket voting. people didn't believe there was a kemp/warnock voter, but there was. that also says that people are going beyond party and really looking at -- i love stacey and i think she was a great candidate but it's hard to beat an incumbent. i will say on democracy, we're not done yet because we still have secretary of state races in arizona and nevada. they're election deniers. kari lake i find quite dangerous for our democracy. it will be interesting to see what happens in the georgia runoff. i think warnock is going to pull it out, but we'll see. >> i'll be fascinated to see if president biden goes to georgia. he didn't go campaign for him. trump has not been in georgia. >> i think he's going to go. i think there's a little bit of

swagger after this. >> yeah. >> i think democrats have learned their lesson. it's the same lesson or similar to al gore. distanced himself from bill clinton, realized that was the wrong thing to do. that's where -- the american people twlernt. >> look at that image of pennsylvania when you had shapiro, fetterman, obama and biden. i think you can see a biden, obama, warnock stage in georgia and meet the moment. >> we'll see. thank you so much for getting up very early for us. >> coffee. >> here's the secret. don't drink too much coffee because you can't go back to sleep after. >> i haven't had one drop. he predicted a red tsunami. now senator ted cruz is trying to explain why the republicans made a splash in the mid-terms. >> look at the picture. >> that picture is perfect. >> the last days in office with trump. did he just tell his former boss, i told you so?

tsunami prediction ended with barely a ripple. >> i'm going to say the majority should have been bigger. i think we need to have some real questions about what mistakes were done on the republican side that didn't get it as a bigger majority. i think too many of these republican races became personality battles. in too many of these races it became the personality and not about the issues that tischen table, the safety and security that impact the people. >> that is an interesting take. cruz isn't giving up on one personality candidate. personality first candidate. he's going to candidate in georgia with herschel walker today. >> this morning former vice president mike pence is sharing a pretty eye opening candidate. in this op ed he wrote and he describes former president trump's anger when pence

explained that he did not have the power to override or return the 2020 election results. the book is titled "so help me god." comes out tuesday, the same day notably the former president is promising a, quote, very big announcement at mar-a-lago. let's go to our colleague, selma serfaty. to say the timing is interesting doesn't even begin to get to it. >> reporter: that's right, poppy. timing is interesting and the new revelations are interesting. we have reported on many of the details, the lead up and the pressure campaign trump put on pence to not certify the 2020 election before. we reported a lot of these details, but it is so powerful to hear it firsthand from the former vice president who does in this new book excerpt. a tweet came in during the trip

from the president. he said, quote, president trump retweeted an obscure article titled operation pence card. it eluded to the theory that if all else fails i could alter the outcome of the election on january 6th. i showed it to my wife karen and rolled my eyes. and the language he uses quoting trump is really striking here, too. he multiple times quotes the former president as calling him a wimp saying, don't wimp out. he could go down in history, poppy, as just a somebody if he went on to certify the results of the election, which of course he did. >> the last exchange between the two of them where he said i will still pray for you is fascinating. selma serfaty on the hill, thanks. let's bring in cnn political commentator, margaret hoover. >> good morning. >> we've got a lot to talk about this morning. >> good morning. here we go! >> a lot has happened since the last time you were at the desk

with us. ted cruz said it would look like 2010 and it wasn't. >> one of the things that has been so interesting to me over the last 48 hours is the amount of admonition and eating crow that has happened on the right. conservatives and republicans don't admit when they're wrong. time after time, i really troll the conservative podcast ecosystem so you don't have to. there is real recognition that they got it wrong. now what's different is that nobody has once in any of the podcasts or op eds or any of the analysis cited the dobbs decision, cited overturning of younger voters and women voters. >> they can't. >> they have said, well, it's just interesting that the economy wasn't the predominant

issue. >> yeah. because everyone thinks that they know everything. i thought it was interesting even over on the fox propaganda channel the night of. they were saying -- what was it, last night? i can't remember because we've been on for so long. it's like what has happened. foevgs there saying this was a rallying of republicans even though they will probably win the congress, they may take the conservatives i've seen on the air. conservative media radio. they're turning against the former president. >> there is a wedge. that's the one thing people can agree upon it seems to me is that trump was on the ballot and where trump was on the ballot in key places that republicans needed to pick up for the tsunami, he lost. that does give a little bit of an opening for enter mike pence, enter the conservative republicans who see themselves as an alternative. >> let's talk about one of them

maybe. >> can i just stick to -- i want to get to ted cruz. ted cruz speaks out of both sides of his mouth. >> really? >> this should not be about personalities when he hugged trump, the man who insulted him -- >> like herschel walker. >> he is a cult personality if you look in the dictionary, encyclopedia, that's how old i am, he's a cult personality. herschel walker, same thing. herschel walker has no political chops and he's campaigning for him. well, we should get away from this cult personality, that is more hypocrisy. >> ted cruz is just saying words. he's trolling mitch mcconnell. every single person knows responsible people in the senate had no interest in mehmet oz, herschel walker. >> any of these other -- frankly, people who are hugging donald trump and supporting his election lies, they had no interest in those guys being the

candidate f. they hadn't been the candidate this would be very different. >> they want to control the senate. they have a very cynical realistic view if they campaign for herschel walker, they will control the senate. it's very clear why they will go down there. mcconnell, none of them backed away because they want to have a republican majority even if it means senator herschel walker. talk to us about the pence op ed. i'm very curious to what you're talking about, the timing of it. when everyone is criticizing trump, not everyone. >> i think the timing has to do with he has a major book. the first time he's spoken publicly and putting it out. the timing that's funny and totally trolling is donald trump deciding he's going to announce the same day as his vice president releases his book and the book tour. that's the trollish timing. you know, there's been some

trump staffers who suggested donald trump should wait now at this point until after december, after at least the georgia election that. could be not one georgia senate seat but the second time around donald trump loses it. nobody wants donald trump anywhere near there. mike pence i have continued to believe is the hero. one of the unsung heroes of january 6th. >> he's not a hero. >> i know you don't believe that. he was doing his job. >> how are you a hero for doing your job? >> i have all sorts of time for people who stood up to president trump. >> that doesn't mean they're a hero. they did that jobs. the bar is that low where someone who did his job -- he took an oath to the american people. how can you say he's a hero for following what his oath said that he was supposed to do? it's what the law says. >> mike pence upheld his oath. the president of the united states did not. you and i know that upholding your oath and just doing your job under --

>> is the bare minimum. >> -- extraordinary circumstances. >> the bare minimum. how much of this is about reputation rehab than -- because, again, mike pence selling a book and doing what his oetd said and doing what his job said, what he promised the american people is not hero behavior. >> you and i both know if there was a mop that breached it. >> that is a fault of his own making. >> i don't blame any of this on mike pence. i blame this on donald trump. >> it will be really interesting to see this book come out the day trump announces his presidential run. we'll be watching all of that very closely and also hearing your input on it. >> thanks, margaret. appreciate it. concerns growing over continued aid to ukraine if republicans take control of the house. president biden said support will not stop.

we've not given ukraine a blank check. there's a lot of things ukraine wants we didn't do. there's so much at stake so i am going to be surprised if lead jr. mccarthy even has a majority

of republican colleagues who say they're not going to fund a legitimate defense. >> moscow has ordered its troops to retreat from the key southern city of kherson in a strategic setback for russian president vladimir putin. christiane amanpour joins us live from the ground in ukraine. christian, so good to have you. what was the response to what president biden just said there? >> reporter: well, i sat down with the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyy, yesterday as all these votes were coming in as pell as the mid-terms. he believes like president biden he has received even in the last few days a stream of american delegates, very important american senators, congressmen, bipartisan who have told me in interviews that have told him they do not believe america's

commitment to ukraine and the freedom that it's fighting, he doesn't think even republican-led congress will stop that. also we've had the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. we had the u.n. national security veadviser in to see zelenskyy. it's working. i spoke to the nato secretary general and we can see with our own eyes on the ground that the amount of help from the u.s. and its allies. mass made a difference and continues to make a difference on the battlefield. the two senators look at all of the money going out and they're convinced it's all accounted for and nothing is being spent in the wrong way. >> i wonder if in the interview president zelenskyy spoke about the big withdrawal from kherson?

>> yes, he did. i was actually asking about an impending anticipated ukrainian counter offensive. he didn't want to go into details. this is what he told me about that. >> i'll try to answer in a way that doesn't give you an answer, to be honest because these planned military actions, they are discussed in a small circle but they're executed in silence so i would like to apologize. at any rate our people and your public need to know that we are working on some very serious steps with a positive outcome for the citizens of ukraine. >> reporter: obviously kherson

vital because of its connection to the port, which is the black sea, which is ukraine's economy, which is vital for russia's aims as well. here's the important thing. both the president and his aides are saying, just hold on. don't believe the russians at face value. don't take what they say at face value. they may be pub clique bilk ically -- publicly speaking they say they won't be dragged into an offensive without being prepared. >> we'll see a lot more of your interview ahead on the program. thank you very much. more of christiane's interview. more are paying attention to the united states and monitoring what former president trump is going to do. the view from abroad is next. i think the people, they may not like everything he's done

but they like a lot of what he's done. >> that's whoopie goldberg weighing in on the mid-terms as she spoke with don lemon. we'll tell you what she had to say next.

states are deciding. >> what i find is that they want to know is the united states stable? do we know what we're about? are we the same democracy we've always been? because, look, the rest of the world looks to us. i don't mean like we're always right, but if the united states tomorrow were to, quote, w withdraw from the world, a lot of things would change around the world. a whole lot would change. and so they're very concerned that we are still the open democracy we've been. >> those are comments that president biden made as he is about to leave today to go on a massive foreign trip. let's check on this with bianca nobilo and max foster. he's about to meet with world leaders. president putin won't be attending that world leaders summit in bali.

president biden reflecting there on what u.s. leadership means for other world leaders not just in the white house but in the halls of congress. >> always telling to see what's on the front page of newspapers, isn't it? on a lot of them today it was a massive picture of ron desantis with streamers all around him explaining who he was, how he is now a likely, you know, first con tender really against donald trump in the republican primaries. all the focus is on him. then it becomes a struggle, doesn't it, in the articles? because we don't know anything about his foreign policy and what it means for the rest of the world. i think that's what people are asking today. >> absolutely. my family lives in florida so i've heard of ron desantis and very familiar with the idea of him potentially running for president, but internationally if you look at all of the papers in europe, they're filled with questions like, cheer ron desantis. basically just who is ron desantis in a variety of

european languages. he's roaring in the global political consciousness on the front pages of "the telegraph" was a picture of him, his family with the bye line are we looking at america's next first family? there's a lot of fascination as well as lawmakers i've been speaking to on the right in parliament. >> some glee that trump has seemed to have not done as well as he may have expected. >> that's what i was going to ask you guys. do you believe that the last 48 hours have changed the perception of the former president, of former president trump, in terms of his grip on hold on the power? >> i'd say so because when we look at media responding to the results as they continue to come in, the clear consensus was even if we don't know exactly which party is going to hold which, we do know that the clear loser is donald trump. that's how it's being framed. and there's definitely a collective sigh of relief in brussels among ministers and

representatives from european countries who had braced themselves from the mid-term and this potential red wave and that's namely because, a, the support for ukraine. there's a lot of relief there if trump has less of an influence over the republican party and their policy there and also on potential trade tensions because there's actually considerable issues brewing between america and the eu on some protectionist policies. the assumption that would have gotten a lot worse had there been a red wave and had donald trump surged forward. >> one question i have is something president biden was weighing in on yesterday which comes to this withdrawal that is happening in ukraine. it's one of the first major cities that russia took after the invasion. biden thinks the timing of that announcement was timed to wait until after the mid-term elections. what have you heard there? >> i think there's huge relief about the result the red wave was a ripple.

i think a lot of capitols are trying to make sense what it means. obviously in europe, largely parliamentary democracies, this idea you could have a country's leader from a different party in the lower house is quite confusing. how that will affect american policy. if it goes into deadlock, in their minds nothing changes. a lot of people trying to make sense of that away from the fact the mid-terms are quite confusing for a lot of americans at least. >> they're confusing for americans, don't worry. that's why we've been breaking it down at the magic wall all morning. thank you both for joining us. appreciate it. >> appreciate it. nasa's highly anticipated return to the moon delayed. how much longer before it can lift off? hurricane nicole has weakened. now it's a tropical storm. the areas that are being hit the hardest, we'll bring you that next. supply fuel for immune cells
