>> hello, welcome to cnn newsroom, i'm john vause we are following live stories this hour. israel's war with hamas, and election night in america. democrats, there is now brief distance hope for the presidential election, with results now in from state what election races across the u.s.. it is the power of politics which is becoming increasingly clear. first to kentucky where governor andy beshear has been reelected making him one of the few democratically colors -- republican states. he made abortion rights a major issue in his campaign.

>> tonight, kentucky made a choice. a choice not to move it to the right, or to the left, but to move forward for every single family. >> in mississippi, cnn now projects republican governor -- who won a second term. defeating the second cousin of elvis presley. -- who said, we came up belittle short. >> you people in mississippi, both sides of the aisle, both republicans, democrats, and representative for the good part of our, state you represent the good parts of who we are. i will always be appreciative of that. i know that you are as disappointed 90s i am, and -- it hurts too much to laugh, and i'm too old to cry. so i understand what he meant. >> kind of sounds like elvis. in virginia, democrats have taken full control of the state

legislatures hanging on to the senate, and flipping the house of delegates. -- not directly on the, ballot but is believed to be a strong factor in those results. in the key swing state of ohio, voters with a strong rebuke to republican strike to resist abortion access, more right turn abortion is now in shrine in the state constitution after ballot measures pass. while also voted to legalize recreational marijuana, becoming the 24th state to do so. cnn's -- is in ohio, and cnn projections, it is the first republican state to take such a move. this is a hard battle on both sides known as issue, one the effort to turn china those rights in the state constitution. when cnn called the results of this election, rejecting the

results, i want you to take a listen to this room. it is a watch party of those who supported issue one. >> we can hear the cheering until then, and i saw those into shares, it was jubilation as those results were red. now the -- -- the group that was against -- in a statement was heartbroken, but it was an aim to 2024 in battleground states. in regard to the battleground, state they sent shockwaves through states like arizona where abortion rights advocates there are also trying to get such a measure on that 2024 ballot. a republican from arizona, a consultant tells me tonight,

that his partners should be, quote, scared. kyung lah, cnn, columbus, ohio. >> standing by in san francisco's democratic strategist and political scientist -- and in sacramento, mike madrid republican -- of the lincoln project. good to see both. thanks for being up and staying up late. so for democrats who are searching for signs of optimism ahead of next year's presidential race, they now have reelection of a democratic governor in deep red kentucky, as that ballot measure in ohio which enshrines the right of abortion to the constitution, and also the -- caroline, to you, it all seems kind of -- is that the best you have? >> well, i would say that 85% of americans support abortion under some circumstances, and when the supreme court overturned that basic fundamental right, they gave the gift to democrats. we are seeing this gift that is giving and giving. so i think the biggest signal

for me is a glen ellyn, and the governor in a virginia actually tried to essentially test a new messaging around this. so instead -- of a more compassionate messaging around abortion, some sort of six weeks, it would be 15 weeks instead of an abortion, ban it would be a restriction. the world was looking, or the u.s. was certainly looking at him to see whether or not they should be effective. what we have learned tonight is that even in middle ground republicans on abortion is not effective. it does not matter where abortion is on the ballot, even in conservative faith, it is really a gift to democratic candidates. >> this is very true. so mike, two, you before the ballot measure in ohio, cnn reported abortion rights groups have been on a winning streak. opponents hope a house issue offers a reset, but it didn't, it wasn't so much a reset as a reaffirmation. so why are republicans continuing to push what is a

very unpopular policy on to the american public, a policy which is so unpopular it is actually having a negative outcome on other election races across the country? >> republicans are stuck in a demographic -- the only group that won in ohio were voters that supported this measure, measure one, where white men without college degrees. that is the largest part of the republican base. but i do want to put this in context, while dobbs and the overturning of abortion rights was made possible by the overturning of roe v. wade, this trend of college educated suburban women has been happening for about 4 to 6 u.s. before the dobbs decision came down. so the existential nature of the threat since then has crystallized. this voter shift began in 2018, and continued in 2020, and it catalyzed in 2022. you are seeing now the fourth

election cycle in a row where republicans are essentially coming a marginal regional party as a result of it because they are seeing defections of the republican base. this was not, tonight was not a high turnout election. this was about republicans, particularly republican women showing up and voting for pro choice position, and voting for democrats. that is an extremely significant change in the electorate that we haven't seen prior to the 2018 midterms. >> but you say has been going on since 2018, isn't it time many have a look at what is going wrong? >> yes, but, look if there is any group, that is the least reflective in america, this leads to republican party. they are not going to change precisely because, as i mention, they are stuck in this demographic doom. the only group they are speaking to our white males, rural white males with no college degrees. blue collar working class.

this is donald trump's base. this is the maga base. unfortunately, as college educated voters leave and flee the republican party, as moderates leave the republican party, all that is left is this small core group that grows with intensity, and focused on its own issues. that limits its ability to speak beyond its own base. so it is a chicken and egg problem that is it likely to stop anytime soon. in fact, i think it will probably accelerate into this extremism. we saw that with the election of mike johnson as the speaker of the house. i think that again, republicans are stuck here in this cycle that is probably going to see the party be reduced to simply a regional factional element, as opposed to a national sustainable party. >> there's new polling which is, out great news for anyone not called joe biden. overall, donald trump leads joe biden 49% to 45%. almost every metric is bad for,

biden voters dislike him, or like him less than trump. biden is blamed more tension for being part of the country's problem, and not a solution. add to, that that the coalition of voters which elected biden back in 2020 students collapse in many ways. the -- now does urging the president. so what is biden doing wrong? or dare i say is trump doing something right? >> well, trump is certainly doing something right. he is playing into the modern complex, it has been very effective for his base. i don't know how effective it is going to be with the general election given the swing voters don't necessarily like the 91 indictments, but in that same poll, john, the news for biden is particularly bad in swing states. and the six swing states that biden won in 2020, trump is now leading in five of those states. he is up ten points in nevada. this is a big shift. certainly the economy is -- but if you look at polling, folks are not concerned about joe biden's age. at the end of the day, though

you have to look at history, the ronald rain, in brock obama, they were also very low in the polls a year out and it is almost meaningless in the sense that the election is a year away. both reagan and obama won reelection, so anything could happen between now and then. where the election held today, joe biden would be in serious trouble. >> and mike, just a question of joe biden's age, and perceptions about his ability to run a second term, run for the entire second term of his presidency? >> well, look, i think there are certainly problems that are particular to joe biden. but let me say, and that same poll, again, generic democrat beats donald trump and four of these five swing states that are tested. also, another question relates to donald trump is if he is convicted and sentenced to prison biden needs him commanding in every one of those states so you have to

understand you are a year out in this election cycle, i'm not seeing any cause of concern or alarm provided this point, other than the fact that while he is joe biden, any incumbent heading into an election usually meets their lowest poinint. that is where he is that. i don't think biden is panicking, i don't see any reason for them to either. i think he wants to -- most of the polling including that poll would suggest that is where is kansas best chance. >> very quickly, caroline, -- the governor reelected basically my choice not to be seen on the campaign trail twitchell biden ran 1 million must wait to be away from him not to be seen. that is okay because it is conservative in kentucky, but it gets other democrats are making a similar decision. have they spoken to are gorgeous? that about troye's? >> well, it certainly doesn't help the top of the ticket, but i'm not really sure how long the coattails run anymore, simply in modern elections. so joe biden is not going to be

helping any democrats on the lower part of the ticket heading into 2024. >> okay. caroline, -- thank you both for staying up late. really appreciate your time. -- -- for her comments criticizing the israeli government and supporting palestinians amid the israel-hamas war. -- is the only palestinian american in congress, four republicans voted against the measure, but 22 of the fellow democrats voted in favor of the reprimand. -- posted a video to social media protesting chanting from the river to the sea, we see -- has long been a rallying cry for those calling for the destruction of israel. >> we will remember in 2024 >>

before the -- an impassioned speech on the house floor defending her remarks. democrats and republicans also -- heated debate over the resolution. >> i am the only palestinian american serving in congress, mister chair. my perspective is seated here now more than ever. i will not be, silenced and i will not let you distort my words. >> her voice matters. she is the only palestinian american in the congress, and this is a representative body. her perspective represents many that she -- her perspective reflux many that europe's arms, especially when it is not twisted. >> i believe that actions have consequences, and i believe that after a long string of antisemitic remarks and filled rhetoric, -- appropriate consequences for the general lady from michigan. -- means never again.

>> to compare a modern democracy with a repressive terrorist state is wrong. but it is also wrong for congress to take this action at a time when we have serious issues that we face, to take an action and take down the words to strike the words to censure fellow member. no matter how incorrect we believe she may be, it is wrong. we lower ourselves when we try to take action against someone else for their words. >> -- previously described the phrase from the river to the city as an aspirational call for freedom. human rights and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, and hate. now two guys that were israeli ground forces are now said to be in the heart of the biggest city of the palestinian territories. according to prime minister benjamin netanyahu, idf soldiers are now operating inside gaza city, putting severe pressure on hamas.

>> the city is encircled. we are operating -- and we are increasing pressure on hamas every hour, every day, we have killed -- above ground and below ground. >> as israeli ground offensive continues to advance, the biden administration once again warning israel about occupying gaza. this comes hours after netanyahu said israel will have the overall security responsibility in gaza once the war is over. but israel's defense minister says, there are only two certainties right now about who will run guns that once hamas is destroyed. >> i can tell you who will not govern. it will not be hamas. it will not be israel. everything else is a possibility. i want to say one more thing, at the end of this conflict, there will be no oblast in gaza. >> senior aide to the israeli prime minister is denying any plans for a long term occupation of gaza.

here is -- speaking to cnn. >> we are not talking about any sort of ongoing occupation of the gaza strip. once again we want the gazans to rule themselves, and we think there will be an international effort for that. >> for more now, let's go live to london. elliott, i think the question, is israel has long done the job of -- g egypt isn't want to do the job. the palestinian authority does not want the job and certainly not capable of it right now. who is going to do? it >> well, i don't think everyone really knows exactly what is going to happen the day after this war ends, john. netanyahu articulated a particular thought in terms of israel in his words, having overall security responsibility for the gaza strip after this war ends. but i think he was deliberately vague in those words. although there are some far-right ministers in the government coalition who perhaps would advocate the reoccupy of the gaza strip which israel did occupy on the ground at least of 1967 until

2005, but if anything netanyahu or the government as a whole has any intention of doing so. now you mentioned the palestinian authority, let's not forget the head of the palestinian authority which administers parts of the israeli occupied west bank lacks legitimacy there. he is in a 19th year of a four-year term. you can hardly see him metaphorically riding in this -- in for the gaza strip to administer palestinians there, unless he has said this himself to anthony blinken the u.s. secretary of state when he was over the weekend, unless there is a major step towards a two-state solution with jerusalem as capital of an independent palestinian state. since that seems fanciful at this, point it is hard to see the palestinian going into the gaza strip, at least in the short term. that of course would be the most convenient solution i suppose from the israeli address perspective and perspective of many others in

the international community. it is a very hard to see that happening, and of course all of this discussion is based on the assumption that israel will succeed in its objective of destroying hamas militarily, so it can never again -- chorus it did on october 7th and israel, so it is no longer in charge of the gaza strip, and on top of that let's not forget the 240 hostages that hamas objected from israel, and are still languishing inside the gaza strip more than a month later. israel has said there can be no cease-fire until they are freed. and presumably, there could be no discussion about what happens after this war ends, or it will actually and until those hostages are returned. john? >> elliott, we appreciate the update. elliott gotkine live in london. still to come here on cnn, it has been the month for -- hamas hostages in israel. fighting to bring their loved ones safely home, refusing to give up hope. more on that in a moment. >>

>> welcome back. it has been a grim month in israel in many ways, the nation so in grief and shock, still mourning lives lost and holding on to hope for those who were taken by hamas militants on that day october 7th. israel's response has been

swift, and devastating. the idf says they have destroyed 14,000 hamas targets in the past few weeks. but that success comes with a massive civilian death toll. the palestinian health ministry in the west bank city of -- which gets us information from gaza is controlled by hamas, says more than 10,000 people have been killed since the war began. with women, children, and the elderly making up more than 70% of casualties. you can human rights campaign as the situation in gaza is incredibly disturbing. >> it is one month anniversary of this incredible escalation of violence that we have seen, and of course i'm a human rights perspective extremely worried about the situation. about what is happening, it is really important that a solution is found to end the violence, and get out of this horrible, horrible humanitarian and human rights situation for what is happening in gaza. >> --

to see it and to the pain and heartache from many of the families of hostages inside israel. they continue to hold vigils, keep tt ignore their pleas to bring their captives home -- r report. >> a moment of silence marks a month since hamas brutally killed at least 1400 people, and took an estimated 240 hostages. >> dying slowly, painfully alone and gaza, no one deserves it. >> -- is talking about her grandmother, 85-year-old -- who was taken by hamas. her cousin -- was also taken from a kibbutz near the border with gaza. >> a father of two young children. >> -- is part of a group of relatives, hostages, who from -- in tel aviv are making sure people do not forget. >> i need to have hope. anita have a reason to wake up in the morning, and to believe they will come back home. >> the site is now a sign for

the hostages. with a different artistic representations. for those who are not here, sitting next to their relatives, missing the laughter of their children, and making clear that for them, the release of the hostages weighs more than anything else in the world. >> she is out, there and they are out there every minute. it is so long. >> her sister was selling her jewelry at the nova festival from where she was taken. she and her brother say that while their family will always advocate for peace, they want to know that everything has been done to have their sister back. >> what i know is that i'm trying to make the -- government to do whatever to bring them back by all means. to take action and make negotiation and do something. >> with the war being overwhelmed by the horrific vicious in gaza, they are aware that public opinion around the world might not be in their

favor because of the rising civilian death toll. >> you know being here and saying yes, we should free the gazan civilians from hamas, i know it is true. i know it is true. i believe it. >> -- has friends who were killed and taken hostage by hamas. it feels that something radical needs to be done to prevent a future attack. >> we need to and this hamas thing. when isiserettes over europe, no one stayed silent. >> but -- once her grandmother back like everyone, here she is not ready to give up. >> they have to know that we fight for them. >> we let them go at once we will not let them go again. >> -- cnn, tel aviv. >> when we come back here on cnn, you can or cannot own a gun or -- indications about how -- rule in second amendment case involving domestic violence and restraining orders. more on that when we come back.

>> it was off year election night in america, and now there's an update on some key results. cnn projecting democrats will take full control of the virginia legislature, and governor glenn youngkin's hopes of a republican majority in both chambers. and deeply conservative mississippi, cnn projects republican governor -- has been reelected meaning democrat challenger -- president preface the second cousin of the late elvis presley -- and another red state, kentucky democratic governor andy beshear has also been reelected defeating anti republican challenger -- states attorney general who had been endorsed by the former president donald trump.

and in ohio -- bellwether state which from putin both the 2016 and 2020 presidential races, but disapproved a measure which will in trend the return abortion in the state constitution. continuing a one inch and for abortion rights around the country. u.s. supreme court overturned roe v. wade last year. he has become one of the big takeaways from the selective abortion rights many voters especially in crucial swing states. cnn's jeff zeleny explains. >> for the next year, as republicans try to win the senate, keep their narrow majority in the house, and when mike the white house, abortion will be front and center in their strategy. the lessons of tuesday night's elections in virginia, ohio, and in kentucky certainly serve as a reminder that abortion is still a very potent issue and has not become a motivating factor for democrats. of course since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade within dobbs decision in little more than a year ago, there are

so many examples now election after election where republicans are largely on the losing side of this argument. we are going to see much of this discussion at a republican presidential debate here in miami on wednesday. there has been a difference of view point to some degree about the way forward on abortion. nikki haley for example, former south carolina governor has tried to strike someone of a middle ground. now donald trump for his part will not be participating in the debate, but he has tried to not dwell on abortion. he believes it is a losing issue in the words he has spoken to some of his advisers. but look for democrats to try and turn this to their advantage over the next year, in fact it could be one of their big motivating factors. so there is no doubt as republicans try to win control of the senate, hold their narrow majority in the house and when backed the white house, abortion will be front and center. jeff zeleny, cnn, miami. >> for more on these off year election results, a political analyst and president of the --

at loyola marymount university. good to see, mike. it has been a while. >> glad to be here. >> in ohio, overwhelming with trump in 20, 20 -- to enshrine abortion rights into the constitution, -- very conservative kentucky, democratic governor -- he campaigned against an opponent who was supporting a sweeping ban on abortion. he took -- that not shy away from it. so the issue an abortion rights motivated voters not just in these elections, but last year's midterms. and the reason to believe it won't be a fact in 2024? >> that was a big test for especially democrats who are hoping and counting on abortion having legs, being a sustainable issue that will bring in voters into the polls, and for democratic. so the fact that ohio basically a trump state with so strongly support not just the abortion

rights, but also recreational marijuana, those are democratic issues. so ohio really did not come through for the democrats, and surprised a lot of people by the margin of victory. >> yes, before there was florida, it was always as ohio, votes so destination. so it is an important state. with regards to the issue of abortion rights, it seems prudent enough to help democrats win, but not put it enough to actually swing an election result on his own. why is that the case? >> you know i think as soon as roe was overturned, democrats mobilized, especially the women, vote and the key here is the suburban women voter. that vote is going to determine the outcome in 2020, four and a term i in a lot of stay outcome. so that the democrats could draw suburban women in is an incredibly important sign for them. that is the swing vote. if the democrats can control

that, and the key states that are going to be very contested and tight, they have a really good chance. the democrats are counting on it abortion being on the ballot. >> well here is a little more now from kentucky's governor elect, democrat andy beshear. here he is. >> this was our victory. it was a victory that sets a loud clear message, a message that candidates should run for something, and not against someone. >> he did not just run for something, he ran away from the u.s. president and -- all attempts to be seen with him by campaigning him, he refused any approach by the white house to be seen with joe biden during this campaign. i guess in a conservative state like kentucky, that is a good move, but that is something which is happening nationwide with joe biden, and democrats. so why is that? and how worried should joe biden be if that continues?

>> you are right, it is not a surprise, and a conservative red state like kentucky, a blue governor would try to run away from the incumbent president. beyond that, and cnn's pulling was very revealing from today, joe biden is in trouble neck in neck against donald trump. so at the very top of the ticket, the democrats have a candidate who is not very popular, running against another candidate than donald trump who is just about as unpopular. so the question is, what other issues will come into play? abortion is the big one right now, but t there are all kinds f questions, young voters, hispanic voters, african american voters, are they going to -- or simply not show up. they need to be part of the biden coalition if he's going to win. the biggest question, though not answered fully, but we have a very good indication, that is that suburban women are going to go democratic. >> you mention the poll numbers, they are interesting, because right now donald trump facing

92 criminal felony charges. he has a slightly better perception than joe, biden only shows that 61% say biden is more part of the country's problems than the solution. 57% say the same thing about trump. and so, explain that, away is the battle taking the message from the biden campaign in the white house, it seems just too easy, and who simplistic, what else is happening here? >> you know, there is always a lag time between what is actually going on on the ground, and voter perceptions of what is going on. so voters today in america believe the economy is in bad shape. yet all of the indicators or that it is in good shape. so here's what social science might say. political scientist long said if you think about a presidential term, think of it as a you shape. you start high in popularity, you go down, and once you get into campaign mode again, it goes up again. biden is counting on that. he is counting on he is number one coming out of the down

period, and number, to the economy is going to boost him as it gets closer to election time. we are a year away, so a lot of things that could happen. >> thank you for being with us, in los angeles, good to see you. >> thank, you john. >> the u.s. federal law right now -- prohibits gun ownership. but now, that law is being challenged by a man in texas, and all -- before the supreme court. it seems the court is leaning in favor of upholding the law. more details now from jen sullivan. >> outside the supreme court tuesday, advocates for domestic violence effect is demanding protection from abusers. one woman sharing her personal story with the crowd. >> the following, person they're gonna refused, on was me. >> inside the high court, the justices hearing roughly 100 minutes of argument on biden administration's appeal of a ruling striking down a federal law that bans people with protective orders against them

from owning a gun. >> guns and domestic abuse or a deadly combination. >> the challenge to the law was brought by -- of texas. he is currently in jail for other gonna really to charges. but in 2020, a restraining order was issued against him following a violent altercation with his than girlfriend. because of that restraining order, he has banned from owning a gun. >> it is possible that it would be unconstitutional to deny people the right to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer. >> lawyers arguing and supportive loss that eight woman is five times more likely to die from a domestic abuse situation if hagan is involved. in 1994, congress passed a measure to ensure domestic violence victims could be protected from their abusers under federal laws. the lawyer says that violates his second amendment rights to bear arms. >> domestic violence was not even an issue two centuries ago. the future of the law now in the hands of the nine justices. i'm jen sullivan reporting.

>> congressional republicans appear no closer to avoiding a government shutdown just days out to a funding once dry. republicans emerged of him meeting on tuesday with apparently no clear strategy. but you have speaker mike johnson says he will release a funding plan in the coming days. the number of -- flooded including a short-term spending bill through january 19, but a mini measure would have to receive support from the democratic-controlled senate, and democratically controlled white house. coming up here on cnn, family falls victim to the rising tensions on the israeli lebanese border. here from the residents on edge as the water becomes a flash point once again.

>> welcome, back u.s. forces in iraq have been targeted again, any fears of joe strikes on monday and tuesday. u.s. officials as the attacks

usually this place is full of people. nobody is going out. everyone is staying home. elias's family has been making fishing boats for generations. he lived through all lebanon's wars and doesn't want to see another one. everyone is scared, he says. many people have gone elsewhere, who wants to stay here and be bombed? until, or unless that happens, the fishermen mend their nets. life must go on. ben wedeman, cnn, tyre, south lebanon. in a moment, will return to israel. a country at war where there's international copa volunteers to try and help. more on that, when we return.
