highlighting the agenda item in there. so katie porter's district and highlighting prescription drugs, very localized pocketbook issues from the agenda. that was 50% of what they wanted to do. the other 50% was, to make everybody aware that the republican party was no longer the republican party but it was now the maga republican party. that was the other piece of the strategy. and that had real residence. i mean, we talked about the independent voters pushing this way. that is what this is in response to. why did independent voters go to these candidates? because the republican party was indeed seen as extreme, and i think that is of concern to those voters in the middle, and a pretty significant way. >> i think what happened in

response to the paul pelosi attack, what we saw, some republicans, kari lake, her joke about it, then youngkin's joke about it as well, and it was sort of like, not exactly a cheering section around what happened, but certainly, no vast denunciation of what happened to paul pelosi, and that really i think, just the argument that joe biden was trying to make, and he made that link in a speech that he gave a couple of days before the election. >> if we thought before the election and polls were showing, there's a huge enthusiasm gap between republicans and democrats although -- at the very end it di d narrow but democrats were

eager to go to the polls and maybe one of the reasons, i think, late in the game was the increased visibility of donald trump. there was a lot of visibility of donald trump after the search on mar-a-lago, and that created quite a stir than it die down but then he started doing rallies, and then the paul pelosi incident, which mia points out, which i do believe, impacted a lot of people, so i'm wondering, in the last weeks of this election that became front and center and people were saying, this is not the way we want to live. independent voters -- >> you heard schumer said abortion rights for women became an important issue . >> and the gender gap that we thought was there because of one pole, didn't materialize, so, you know, there was one report that there was a 15 point gender gap in the republican favor and that certainly didn't materialize . >> this election wasn't won or lost on talking about the future or people embracing valleys, it was really based on fear. you have the independence have decided whether it be abortion or donald trump's rallies,

people went to the polls basically out of fear. and we saw that before when donald trump was elected. there's a lot of reasons why donald trump was elected that there were a lot of times where people were afraid, that says something for the parties over the next couple of years . they've got to figure out what is the message, and maybe it is as simple as what james carl said many years ago, it's the economy, stupid. it all comes down to what happens in our wallets. >> but it was more than that. >> no, but fear, zhang, the positive message has got to be the economy and what happened what i'm saying is that abortion really drove people up because they were afraid of what they saw as policies that were very extreme. >> and young voters. >> this win, it's a huge win for the democrats that they will retain the majority status in the senate despite the fact that that the other party usually does well in the first

midterm after a presidential victory, this is a big win for the democrats. does this encourage biden further to go ahead and seek reelection? >> that's an excellent question. he told us on wednesday, that over the holidays, he anticipates he will be spending some time talking with his family about that. i think we have to wait for those conversations to take place. i don't know how many times joe biden had to say, his attention intention is to run, you know, -- >> i think this reinforces his intention. >> i have no doubt that this will put wind in his sales. i just want to, as we are discussing this, the house of representatives is still more likely than not to flip to republicans at this point. and i think, to mark's point about a direction that the party will look for, you know, is there

going to be overreach? are they still going to go through with all of their investigative plans despite the overall result -- >> are they still going to try to impeach biden? >> launching a biden impeachment process or targeting his son, hunter, if that is the response to what the voters said in this election, the republicans are perhaps in danger of overreaching and i think that too, might embolden joe biden speaking if that's what happens . >> and i say one more thing about biden, which might be counterintuitive on this but i was talking to somebody who's close to a person in the white house he was kind of dealing with this, and i think one of the arguments for him not running, is why not go out on top? you have defied history here, with keeping the senate, not losing a lot of seats in the house, et cetera, you are on top, you are the man, and history is on your side here ,

and the next campaign is going to be worse than the last one, because it's not a covid campaign. you will be out there on the campaign trail, and so i think there is a thought process going on, and i'm sure it's going on inside joe biden's head as well as the families, how do you want to be viewed in history? >> i think the other argument is, you know, history was on his side in terms of beating donald trump in 2020. is he the only person who could be donald trump? donald trump seems all but certain to run. he would probably be the favorite, if it's a big field because he could just divide the field, so i think that's the main argument, and he has a decent record of a coppersmith in terms of legislation, voters look at it, certainly, in this election and sided with the democrats. the counterargument is maybe he's too old to run the last time i checked, donald trump is

around the same age . >> what if it's not donald trump he's running against we will get to hillary in a few moments but first let's go back to john berman, tell us about the new balance of power in the united states senate. >> the democrats now control 50 seats in the u.s. senate, the republicans with 49. this gives the democrats the majority, no matter what happens in georgia, where there will be a runoff on december six, of course, if the republicans to win in georgia, if walker beats warnock, it would go to 50-50 but democrats would still control the senate because the vice president, kamala harris, would break the tie and of course if raphael warnock, the senator wins there, the democrats will have 51 seats, and that one seat will matter. it would give democrats ever so slightly more dissipation on each committee, and there were times you will remember, that joe manchin and kiersten cinema, two senators, their votes were split, they wanted different things as joe biden

and the white house is pushing for, something believe me, democrats very much want to win that runoff in georgia i think everyone got caught up in the moment because catherine cortez masto, she didn't just win nevada, victory is what put the democrats over the top in the u.s. senate but what just happened in nevada, to do it, was she now leads by 4982 votes , she had been behind by about 800 votes there, and what it was, with clark county, clark county, 22,000 votes that were counted there and i can put up just so that we all know what happened, those votes came in, and they broke 14,084 for cortez masto, 8234 for laxalt, and that was 60%, roughly, to 35 and that was more than enough, but i more than enough to put her over the top and give her that margin of 4982

votes, it was that 60% margin out of 22,000 votes in clark county which did it and we are still waiting on more votes from washoe county which in all likelihood may skew democratic so her lead could still grow, it's a narrow lead of 5000 votes but when i pointed it out to you before, was that by nevada terms, nevada terms, it's actually, it's a wider matt margin than harry reid enjoyed over joe manchin adam laxalt's grandfather actually wants beat harry reid in a senate race by a margin that was less than 5000 votes, so they got a history of doing a close in nevada so this is a pretty wide margin, as we are looking at the senate here, guys. >> standby, we will get back to you soon. gloria, the december contest in georgia, it still very

important for the democrats and republicans, for that matter . >> but the democrats are going to really care about it. look at the recent history of what happened in the senate, joe manchin, became the center of attention because he was a moderate democrat. they don't want that to happen again. they want to have a clear majority. you know, it's really important to them, the most important thing is they are in charge and kamala harris could break a tie, but i think that one vote actually does matter, and so many ways because it doesn't give anybody the kind of leverage that say a joe manchin has. and no democrat will tell you that they are going to fight any less hard for that seat. >> does this win by the democrats, does it actually help the democratic candidate

in georgia, senator raphael warnock orders a potentially help the challenger, herschel walker. >> it's a boost to say that we can win in difficult races but what i'll be looking for is to see the infighting in the republican party and who's going into georgia to save herschel walker? will we see brian kemp who has been deputized by mitch mcconnell to try to get herschel walker over the finish line? is donald trump then going to show up at of donald trump shows up, the metro atlanta area, that won't be a bad thing for walker because we know those counties around big cities we have women voters who played such an influential role, are they just going to come out and try to support the democrat, raphael warnock. >> everybody standby, cnn is

ready to project another key victory for the democrats in nevada. cnn now projects that cisco aguilar will win the race for secretary of state, to beating defeating republican jim merchant, argent refused to accept the result of the 2020 race. aguilar will replace the incumbent who could not seek reelection due to term limits. very important development indeed. we're watching all of this so closely. much more on tonight's major breaking news, the cnn projection, the democrats will keep control of the united states senate, it's election night in america, continue, stay with us .

cnn projects that democrats will keep the senate majority as catherine cortez masto takes the lead in that razors edge nevada senate race. it's election night in america, continued. more right now , we are discussing all of these latebreaking results. ashley allison, how momentous is this democratic victory? >> it's extremely momentous. i also want to point out, the secretary of state winning in nevada, is significant for our democracy. defeating a extreme election

denier. again, it shows that voters wanted to protect our democracy, wanted our economy to be stronger. also, when i look at nevada, we talked about the 221 latino vote for catherine cortez masto, i also want to point out a demographic that sometimes folks represent, and that's the asian american pacific elder vote. that's 11% of the electorate in the state of nevada, and they showed up, turned out in greater numbers than in 2018, and if you remember, i think it's a symbol of people rejecting the hate, the fear mongering, donald trump did so much negative language towards the asian american community when covid hit, and i think that community also stood up and showed out this election cycle. so it's momentous for our country, it shows the diversity of our country and how independents, women, young

people, black, brown, asian americans, all came together and stood up for progress and not going back to hate, lies, and cheating. >> impressive win for the democrats in the senate. scott jennings, moments after the latest nevada results were officially announced, senator josh hawley, tweeted this, he tweeted this he said the old party is dead, time to bury it, build something new what is your reaction to that? >> i mean, does he mean the old president, donald trump? >> he needs the old republican pay >> i mean, look, i don't understand people who, i view political parties as vehicles to winning elections, and traditionally, you know, you try to add more people to your party and take away people, and the other night, kari lake, in arizona, has this rally, is

anyone here a john mccain supporter and a few people raise their hands, get out of here, i don't understand, what is the future of the politics of subtraction? you want old republicans, if that's what he calls them, you want to republicans, you want new hispanic voters that have come over to the party, you want working-class voters, you want any voter you can get to vote for the republican party. i don't understand people who are -bent on making a smaller party, i don't get that, they are losing, and i will say, there are people i think that don't view republican politics as a vehicle to winning in government. they view it as a vehicle to something else, and i disagree, i think parties exist to do one thing, win elections and to do it, you have to have more, not less. >> christian, what kind of shakeups do you predict might have been within the republican party as a result of these democratic injuries? >> well, it's hard to know how

they will resolve themselves but what i imagine is on one hand, you got folks that would like to see the party turn a page, you would like to see the party nominate someone besides donald trump in 2024 and they are going and collecting all the evidence that shows that being sort of tied to donald trump or his brand of politics, being someone who goes out and focuses on the 2020 election and says that it was rigged, that that is a failing brand of politics but at the same time, i guarantee you there are folks, part of the freedom caucus for instance, or going out and collecting as much data as they can say look, republican based voters were depressed in this district and in this district and if only we had turned out our base we would be fine. you have the gop autopsy, everyone trying to figure out what to do next. but this time there is a test

mac it's in these places where you had split ticket results are had republicans winning by double-digit margins are the types of states that just two years ago were pretty purple, that's the model. there's not a ministry for what republicans need to do moving forward. the question is will the party be able to unite around that kind of vision or will division rain as we move forward? >> i'm anxious to get your thoughts on how this huge democratic win, maintaining the majority in the senate will impact, if you think it will at all, impact president biden's decision whether or not to seek reelection? >> yeah, i think the entry into the race next week of donald trump will have a significant impact on president biden's decision. look, there is an odd rivalry between the two of them, obviously, from 2020, prior to that, that's one of the reasons why joe biden ran for president. it was to try to stop the divisive politics that donald trump espoused. i think, he will look at how that candidacy is received over

the next couple of months. i don't think he's going to make this decision immediately. and i don't think it's going to be based on whether he thinks he can go out on a high or not or what his legacy is, i mean, his commitment to public service is real, and i think he will want to do what he thinks is best. i also think he believes that he is the best person to beat donald trump but if donald trump's candidacy falls flat and others emerge, then i think he believes he might have more options but he's clearly going into the next couple of months with you know, the wind at his back and as we saw from the exit polls, a majority of democrats actually think that he should run again. so i think all of those things will factor in for him as well as you know the obvious family issues and his age and other things. >> you know, it's interesting, scott, the unexpected democratic wins that we are now seeing are also fueling drama for republicans in leadership, the house freedom caucus is

holding kevin mccarthy's feet to the fire, pushing for a number of biden administration probes and trump is reportedly fueling revolt against mitch mcconnell, so what do you see as their immediate futures? >> two different situations, because for mccarthy to get elected speaker, he's got to go to the floor and get 218 boards which is different than what mcconnell will face, they will have the senate leadership on wednesday, all he has to do is get a majority of the senate republican conference, so different situations, mcconnell has an easier path. i suspect some of the people that have been -- i'm not even sure if anybody is running against mcconnell. i don't think rick scott is at this point, given the debacle he presided over. so i think mccarthy has a more complicated problem, and that

is that the freedom caucus is asking for a bunch of stuff that he probably doesn't want to do, including a key rules change that would essentially be asking mccarthy to put his head in the guillotine so they can hold the string on any given day. he's not going to want to do that, and how he navigates that, i think we will see, and obviously the margin is going to matter because it doesn't look like it's going be very big if the republicans hold on. >> wolf, there's one thing about the senate, though. sorry, go ahead. >> what i was going to say in the house is in a way, because this margin is likely to be so narrow for republicans if they take the majority, in some ways, if the republicans had a 20 seat majority, i almost feel like that would give the freedom caucus more leverage because they are a more organized lock, if the margin is only 3 to 5 seats, you can have blocks of moderates that suddenly can gum up the works as well. so having that thin margin increases dramatically the likelihood of chaos and it may not just be the freedom caucus that's able to be a chaos agent in the republican conference. >> hillary? >> first of all, nobody has

really said this yet but i think the majority leader is saying, could we please figure out a way to go forward without the nastiness and ugliness question mark it's a really important point for everybody because as we know, the 2024 presidential election is going to start next week, and voters are exhausted. they have said their piece. they turned out in big numbers, and they'd like to move on and have governing take place. in the senate, in particular, i think, you have what could be an ongoing deadlock for legislating, just like in the house. that's why the georgia senate race is so important. joe manchin, and krysten sinema are up for reelection in 2024. and those two are not going to be thrilled going along with the democratic agenda if they believe it's not in their

interest. is likely to be ongoing gridlock and congress well this fight plays out in the republican party, and while joe biden is making his decision for the democratic side . >> let's not forget, even though the democrats will be in the majority, it looks like the republican s could become the majority in the house of representatives and how that all shakes out, is still to be determined. guys, thank you very much, withth its bold don't design ,ive technology, go too far away. once again, democrats are keeping controrol of the united states senate but at this hour, control of the hohouse, is still very much up for grabs. we will head to the magic wall theand dyna statemic perf r of play inmance, races, t that's coming up. election night in amamerica continues, that's next.

we are live here on cnn, cnn rejects the democrats will keep control of the united states senate, holding onto the manager majority that they narrowly won two years ago. this is an extraordinary victory for the democratic party as the battle for control of the house of representatives right now, continues to play out. john berman is over at the magic wall for us, what's going on that you see as it stands right now? >> who would have thought we would call the senate for the democrats before we called the house for republicans, and they are not there yet. they have secured 211 seats, democrats, 204, you need 218 to

gain control of the house of representatives which means that republicans need seven more, the democrats would need 14 more, there are 20 seats left that are uncalled in those races right no w. republicans leading 10, the only need seven, democrats lead in 10, they would need 14. is there the map, maybe for the democrats to do it? it's hard, it would be an uphill battle but it's not impossible for the democrats. a few of the districts that they need to focus in on our in california. right now, california's 13th congressional district, it's only and 84 vote margin, you can see 46% reporting, this is very close, there's a lot of votes still left. >> a lot of votes still left, this, you can't even try, you are just talking about a handful of votes difference right now. so there's a lot of counting to do. but this is one of those

districts where the republican is currently leading, so if you are trying to plot the path of how democrats can get those additional 14 seats they need you would start with the one where the democrats are currently leading. >> just to be clear, all of the seats, they have to hold every single one of the seats that are still in blue on this board right now, and then pick up an additional four of them in red, and i was showing in california, this would be the first one they would want to start with, only separated by 84 votes. >> and you go down south a little bit to the 41st, sorry, further south, down to riverside, the district there. we got some more vote in this race tonight from riverside county and it increase the republicans leave there. the republican, over rollins, whereas democrats have been

watching that it may be helping that have been one, the news they got tonight was the republicans lead increased in that way so that may not be one of the four. >> if you are looking at it, it's one of the closest ones. down to the south, david valley dale who is a republican in a disk that's +12 for the democrats, the +12 district, and you have a republican who voted for impeachment, this isn't as close as the other one but 39% reporting at this point, david. >> and, that voted for impeachment but that donald trump stayed out of the way, so it whereas, there were lots of other you know, republicans that voted for, not lots, but 10 republicans that voted for impeachment, and donald trump thought it as his mission to have been taken out in primaries or forced their hand to retire, but he was one that

was convinced i believe by kevin mccarthy, to stay away from, because they thought valadao did have a path, even in this heavily democratic district to get reelected if trump could stay out of the way, and he did. >> if you look at the california 13, maybe democrats have a chance there. california 22, may be there. the 41st, which we looked at, the democrats have the margin growing but still the democrats want to pick that one up. it's three of the four they would need to take the majority and there is a district in arizona right now that's very close, arizona, six contest congressional district, 91% in, it does include a little bit of pima county, which is a d +8 county. so there are democratic votes

to be had in this district. >> then there's that district up in coral that you been talking about throughout the week, colorado 3. >> this is low and lauren boebert, she is leading by 1100 votes right now over adam frisch, i think the republicans feel pretty good about this based on which way it's been trending this would be an enormous picku p both for psychological value and it's a district that is a republican plus 8 district. the democrats have a path here. there is a possibility that some of these blue districts that they were leaning in, could turn red and one of the districts where could happen is arizona, where right now you have a democrat ahead but only by 2500 votes, and we've been talking about the arizona vote coming in including around maricopa county, the last batch release from maricopa county was slightly more republican and it decreased the lead for katie hobbs in the governors race and also decrease the lead for the democrat in this

congressional race . so very hard for the democrats i think, we can say, but not impossible. >> we will spend a lot of time taking a look at these house races and to see if the democrats or the republicans, looks like the republicans have a better shot but we will see what happens when all the votes are counted, whether the democrats and republicans are the majority in the house. we do know democrats are the majority are will be the majority in the united states senate, as a result of our projection tonight. john berman, stay with us, much more on tonight's breaking news. we're watching all of this unfold. hold on one moment, we are told that president biden is speaking right now. i want to hear what he is saying. >> we are focusing now on georgia, we feel good about where we are, and i know i'm an optimist, i understand that, from the beginning but i'm not surprised by the turnout.

i'm incredibly pleased by the turnout. and i think it's a reflection of the quality of candidates, and they are all running on the same program, more than anybody, they are all sticking with it. and so, i feel good, and i'm looking forward to the next couple of years. >> [ inaudible ] >> it's better at 51 because we are in a situation where we don't have to have the makeup of the committees. that's why it's important, mostly. but it's simply better, the bigger the number, the better. >> what does it tell you about the state of the republican party as it stands today? >> [ inaudible ] voting rights, >> well, it kind of depends. rather than, i'd rather talk with the republican leadership when that is settled as well. we will try to get done in the

lame-duck and try to take it slow in terms of what the priorities are. we will try and get as much done as we can, to continue to fulfill the agenda. we are also going to have to be waiting on what happens with the court case on student debt which is very important to me. so there's a lot to be done but we are going to slow down and get a chance to talk. >> >> [ inaudible ] >> i know xi jinping, i've spent more time with him then any other leader. we have very little misunderstanding. we've got to figure out what the red lines are and what's the most important thing to each of us. and his circumstances change, to state the obvious, i've always had straightforward discussions with him. there was never any miscalculation about what each

of us, where each of us stand. >> what does it mean for the republican party as it stands. >> i heard someone on television of those coming down there, i'm not sure if it was one of you guys are abundant or he said, what about trump and the republican party and he said, all trump has done is reveal who the republican party is preventing the republican party is going to have to make, they will have to decide who they are. >> are you confident that democrats can keep the house? >> i'm confident that they could, yeah, whether they well, look, it's a stretch. everything has to fall our way. i just got off the phone with congresswoman levin who just one, several more seats in california. i . as i said all along, it

would be perilously close, we can win it. thank you all. >> there's president biden, he's in cambodia at the conference, he just arrived there in egypt where he attended the climate summit and he will be going to indonesia for a g 20 summit but what's happening in the united states, it's very much on his mind. you know gloria, the president, he's pretty happy right now. >> i think it was subdued, a little bit. you know, he wasn't jumping for joy because he doesn't know how the house is going to turn out. he didn't want to say well, it's close, or, but it was interesting to me because he reacted like a senator when he was asked about the 51 votes or you know, what's so good about that, what's better about that, he said well, you don't have to have an even makeup of

committee assignments, which is the way a senator would look . >> at the end of 2020 when the georgia race has made it a 50 and 50 senate, they had to have a power sharing -- they had to negotiate how the committees would be arranged, what this 50- 250 senate would look like, if were not hangs on, those conversations don't need to take place. schumer doesn't have to go to mcconnell. >> democrats are going to go all in, in georgia, and tried to push warnock over the finish line, part of it is that democrats have wanted to turn a southern state at least purple for many decades, and they were able to do that in 2020 and we will see if they are able to do that now. they've got this interesting coalition, african american voters, folks from the north,

making georgia a different state, so we will see. the other thing is, i think warnock is somebody, you talk to republicans, they think he is one of the most talented democratic politicians out there, so if you have him in the senate, he's on the democratic bench and he is somebody that could presumably run for president, at some point, so democrats are going to focus millions and millions of dollars, they are going to send everybody and their mother down there to try to get warnock over the edge and republicans will do the same thing. >> it's worth noting that the president is overseas right now, and he has his victory at a time when the whole world is looking at america right now, wondering what the heck is going on, we are supposed to be a leader in democracy. we are the ones that sent election monitors all around the world to make sure that free and fair elections occur and in fact we are having our own problems here in the us . we've got to make sure that we

don't understate the fact that he is overseas right now, coming with a little bit of wind behind his back. not a lot but a little bit, and he won't be injured so to speak, from domestic politics as you try and deal with these real big global issues they are trying to tackle. >> and what he said in the remarks, it was clearly the sentence he was coming to say, and why he wanted to get on camera which is, all of these democratic candidates ran on the biden agenda. and that's what he wanted to , what he has put in place over the last year and a half, nobody ran away from that. yes, in arizona, mark kelly could have a bone to pick with him over immigration policy but on the whole of what past, and with all of these incumbent senators votes, they were tied to the biden agenda and they didn't run away from it. >> he made a point about republicans. republicans have essentially revealed themselves as the party of trump and ultra maga,

and that's the point he wanted to make again and again. >> i'm sure he's also thrilled that the senate controlled by democrats is not going to go down the intense oversight rabbit hole which clearly, i think the house republicans intended to do. and they are already talking about their multiple investigations of hunter and joe biden, and the exit from afghanistan and do we impeach joe biden, et cetera, now he doesn't have to worry about the senate. >> this win in the senate, as a present overseas attending these conferences, clearly, he understands it strengthens his hand with these world leaders. >> look at what we've seen from some of the republicans, we are talking about stopping aid to ukraine, the idea that the united states is going to pull back because we've given too much to ukraine right now, and

perhaps we should be doing that, that's coming from the far right of the republican conference in the house but it's still happening, and joe biden can say well the american people certainly didn't want to follow your path and they chose to follow my path . >> joe biden talked about it all the time, when he, from the moment he became president started traveling internationally and he would go out on the world stage, he always tells reporters, what these world leaders want to know from him, he says, america is back and they are like, are you sure? because it doesn't necessarily look that way to us. is the conversation that biden sort of explains what's happening behind the scenes, and he now has a data point, to say, yes, i'm pretty sure, in the sense of this, i know the biggest projection tonight is control of the senate, perhaps the most important projection that we made last night and tonight at the secretary of state races in arizona and nevada, because salas and mark

frisch and losing those races, that is a big win for democracy, they were pure election denialism, they were intent to oversee elections in these vertical battleground states, it was driven by their politics and the agenda and not just the processing of elections, that was a real threat, and these democratic wins in the secretary of state races, that is what joe biden can take back on the world stage to say, we are making sure that we are not just trying to promote democracy around the world to try to make sure we are cleaning hours up as well. >> he said we have to figure out where the redlines are. i've always had straightforward discussions with him. so it would be nice to be a fly on the wall in those discussions. >> a historic night here that

once again, cnn projects the democrats will keep their senate majority as catherine cortez masto takes the lead in the razor edge nevada senate race. but there's still a major governors race that we are told it's still too early to call. election officials in arizona, hobbs leads in the road but it still too early to call because of the number of votes that have not yet been counted, standby, we will get more numbers soon. arizona's assistant secretary of state is joining us now. allie, thank you for joining us. where are we in terms of the vote count where you are? >> well, good evening wolf, it's great to be with you again. so we have about 300,000 ballots left account statewide in arizona. most of our rural counties are pretty well done with county, we have five rural counties

that are still going through, and we expect to get more numbers from them, some tomorrow but most of them on monday, and then, we will continue to see maricopa and pima county get through the vast majority of the vote there. >> so, when is the next actual drop, when will we get a whole bunch of new vote tabulations? >> so we are expecting that maricopa county will have another vote dropped tomorrow. we are also expecting to hear from canal county which is one of those rural counties i was talking about. and then like i said, most of the other rural counties on monday, pima county is unclear, if we will hear anything more from them tomorrow or if it will be monday. >> are there still when they call, election day drop off ballots, still outstanding? >> so that is the large portion of what maricopa and pima county are working through, are the late release as we call

them so early ballots that were mailed to voters that they dropped off on election day, so the mass majority of votes that we are working our way through here in arizona, and we expect to see those, definitely for maricopa, and then again on monday. >> as you know, republican mark finchem, a prominent election the mayor lost to adrian fontes in the race for the secretary of state position, cnn is just projected that immigrant cisco aguilar will defend trump backed jim marchant in that secretary of state congress . what do these wins mean for election integrity in future contests? ? >> you can see repudiation of the election denialism that we've been seeing across the country. and i hope, especially for our amazing election workers all across the state of this country, that it tells them, it sends a message that voters do believe in the work that they are doing, and that it's

important work and we believe that they are trustworthy and they are acting with integrity, as we know that they are. >> what is your message to those election deniers, we heard yesterday, sometimes today, over the past few days, that there were all sorts of fraud in the current vote count? >> i mean, we continue to hear this but of course, there's absolutely no proof that there's any fraud and again, arizona takes time to count our votes. it's the integrity of our elections that is ensuring, that the count is accurate, and every vote is being counted that should be counted. and so, there's no fraud that's happening, the votes are being counted, and everything is going as it should be going here in arizona. and one of the things, too, is over the last couple of years,

our votes have taken this long. we are used to this happening, and i think with our races being as close as they are, we don't always know the outcome of the elections for sometimes seven days out . and our elections officials are working even faster than they have in the past and we think them so much for all the hard work that they are doing. >> some are working 14, 15, even 18 hours a day. thanks once again for joining us. >> have a good night . >> into our viewers, you saw the news break right here on cnn, democrats will keep control of the united states senate. a big, big moment for the democrats, it's election night in america, continue. much more, just ahead. two new ihop lunch and dinner menu items

welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. election night in america continues, and there's been a huge development, just a little while ago. cnn projected democrats will achieve what seems almost inconceivable a few days ago, they will keep control of the united states senate, with at least 50 seats . at least 50 seats. that's because cnn is called the senate race in nevada, projecting that catherine cortez masto will win

reelection. over the last few days, her republican challenger, adam laxalt had seen his lead shrivel until she overtook him earlier this evening. i minutes ago, president biden commented on all of this while overseas in cambodia. >> i think the republican party is going to have to decide who they are. >> and in arizona, new vote tallies tonight are wrapping up the drama in the governor's race. democrat katie hobbs leads republican kari lake but the race is still too early to call. david is over at the magic wall. make breakdown what made tonight possible for senate democrats . >> take a look where we are, democrats, these are races we have called, okay? democrats have 50, republicans have 49, and we only have one race outstanding on the map, that's in georgia for the december 6th runoff.
