>> thanks to the overwhelming support of the people of florida, we have rewritten the political map. thank you for honoring us with a win for the ages. >> and because of all of you, we'll keep making progress, breaking down barriers, breaking glass ceilings, helping new yorkers achieve the greatness that it is capable of. >> whether you voted for me or not, the things that i promised to do is go to the united states senate and fight every single day for the people of ohio. thanks to you we get an opportunity to do just that. [cheers and applause] >> we bet on the people of pennsylvania, and you didn't let us down. and my promise to all of you is i will never let you down. neil: all right, the day after, this much we now, it looks like in the balance of power the republicans will take control of the house, we just don't know by how much. that's not a done deal, by the

way. and in the senate, we might not know for a while, whether the democrats maintain their control of it thanks to the vice president, a 50-50 senate. but, again, we just don't know the way things are going right now. could be a while, especially if there's a runoff races in georgia. that's why we've got you covered pretty much across the country with connell mcshane in atlanta, alexandria hoff in nevada and kelly o'grady in of where, again, some unresolved issues and some uncounted ballots that could take another couple of days. let's start with connell in atlanta. connell. >> reporter: hi there, neil. you know, it's not over yet. as you say here in the state of georgia, at least in the senate race. but because we had two big races that we were following in the state, what we do have today is a little bit of perspective on what happened last night and how the voters treated two republican candidates much differently. you had the governor, brian kemp, winning re-election. he had a much stronger performance on a relative basis

to herschel walker in the senate race. so with that, we want to flash back to someone who appearedded on this very program almost exactly 24 hours ago. this kemp voter who simply sat out the senate race. >> i kind of abstained from votes of that senate race. i don't really dig most of those people, so i just kind of, i left it alone. i kind of kept it more local, people that are actually going to affect me here. >> reporter: so youen didn't even vote in the senate race, is that what you're saying? >> correct. >> reporter: and we see what type concern that type of behavior did to the numbers. kemp has well over 2 million total votes, but when you flip it over to the senate side, much different for herschel walker, far fewer votes. he underperformed among black voters, hispanic voters, he didn't do as well among independents. governor kemp today with analysis. >> it's good for people to

remember with herschel walker and raphael warnock, a libertarian in that race got, i think, 2% in that vote last time i looked. there's still votes to be counted. we'll let are 'em do that, see where it lands. but it's tough beating an incumbent. >> reporter: kemp should know, it was tough beating him, as we said, he did very, very well last night. and to the governor's point, it does look like this race is headed toward a runoff unless somehow raphael warnock were to get to 50%. if we do have a runoff, that's how warnock won the seat in the first place back in january of 2021. this one would take place on december the 6th. neil: so that means we might not know the makeup of the senate or who controls it until december the 6th. there are other races. connell mcshane following those developments, chief national correspondent for us here at fox business. by the way, close races are not unique certainly on the senate side to the peach state.

nevada has a real barn burner going on, and this one could take a while to resolve. alexandria hoff is in las vegas right now. >> reporter: hi, neil. i think the issue for candidates right now is they really don't know how much they are amid head by or -- ahead by because we don't know how many more mail-in ballots are going to arrive into these counties. this was the first midterm election where every registered voter across the state was sent a mail-in ballot. all they had to do was postmark it by election day, and it does not have to be in the hands of election officials for four more days. these numbers, kind of blurring these margins. and because of that, both senate candidates acknowledged to their supporters last night9 that this will, indeed, be a waiting game. >> all right, nevada, how we doing? [cheers and applause] we are exactly where we want to be in this race. we have a lot of our votes coming in all across the state yet to be tabulated. >> the votes are still the being

counted. we mow this will take time -- we know this will take time, and we won't have more election results for several days. >> reporter: and that was the case in the 020 presidential race too. it too took three days for 90% of the vote to be reported. so clark county registrar joe garcia, he's been there before. >> there are statutory deadlines that prevent me from -- [inaudible] so we've got to take the u.s. postal through saturday, and if your process doesn't end until next monday, we can't have a provisional ballot until we get a report from the secretary of state to compare all of the voters who voted in all counties. >> reporter: a lot of process and technicalities going on here. by the way, joe gloria, not joe garcia as i first stated. pressing for transparency, quote, transparency is in the common interest of all voters who participated in this election, and we are asking counties to provide some basic

information about the number of election day ballots dropped off and mail-ins yet to be tabulated. even if you didn't place your ballot in the mail yesterday, you were able to drop one into one of those designated drop boxes. they were not entered into the count last night, they will be put into that tabulation today, and we are expecting an update from clark county within the next two hours. neil? neil: thank you for that a, alexandria. a similar situation going on in arizona right now where it's waiting for ballots to be counted and the delay counting them up. kelly o'grady has the latest from phoenix. kelly. >> reporter: hey, good to see you, neil. yeah, right now this is really close. officials tell us that we're still expecting 95-99% of votes to be voterred -- reported by this friday, but a lot could change between now and then. i want to give you some context on how and why this has been evolving so far. let's check out the senate race first. we've got 66% reporting,

democratic incumbent mark kelly leading by about 5 points right now. kelly heavily won early votes, but masters has been closing that gap overnight. it's important to note that spread. as kelly started last night 18 points ahead -- sorry, masters has already made up 13%, and we're seeing new batches skew heavily for the gop, but there's about 90,000 votes separating, so it is unclear whether he will be able to make that ground up. the governor's election is a lot tighter. kari lake inching closer to her opponent, just about 12,000 votes separating the two. hobbs started the night at 14% higher. that has narrowed to less than a percent with many votes to go. big reason is that lake has been winning a lot of these batches by 70-80%. we just wrapped a presser here in maricopa county, so i want to share the latest on what to expect going forward tonight. very important, 60% of the electorate resides here, so

taking this county is like the holy grail. 1.1 million votes have been counted here, 400,000 remain. we expect that next batch to be released this evening. do want to highlight there was a record 275,000 early ballots dropped off yesterday, that's part of what is taking so long to count. they weren't able to get those until the polls closed last night. and more people voted in person than in 2020. lake and masters encouraged their hecht rate to vote on -- electorate to vote on election day. they're taking longer to count. now, just to wrap, i just got off with kari lake's team, they tell me they are feeling confident, they think math is on their side. roughly are 800-900,000 votes to be counted by their count, so we'll see when that batch comes in tonight whether they are correct. back to you, neil. neil thank you, kelly. let's go to lee carter. what do you think, lee? >> i think it's not the night that any republican was hoping

for, but at the same time we talked about this on monday, there's a couple of lessons in here. this budget a red wave, it might have been a red surge. and i don't think in arizona we're going to know just yet. i think there's problems with arizona. now, this has happened twice that all eyes here, it's a really big issue. so i'm afraid people are going to start calling into question what's going on in arizona, and hay shouldn't. i think arizona's going to do everything that they can to make sure this is a fair election. i am just concerned about how people are going to interpret it. neil: yeah, i hear you about that. it did take a couple of election cycles for florida to get its act together, but having said that, why don't we have an orderly process in states? you were on this wave of early voting, mail-in voting long before covid, so you had time to prepare for this new phenomenon. i think it's etched in stone now, i don't know to the degree it was this year, certainly during covid.

but it's reality. so why don't states have a policy to count these votes, have them already ready to go day of? >> i mean, you have one job. we've got to figure this out. there was a bunch of people haas night, we had a live studio audience in the studio last night talk, a lot of voters talking about things, they said, you know, if we just put the folks who are on tracking down jury duty on to the the electorate, then maybe we'd get things done, because they can seem to find you no matter where you go. neil: that's true. >> and with all of the technology companies we have, and certainly right now talking about the layoffs, we certainly could get some capable people in to make sure these get tabulated the right way. a lot of people are resistant to change in the electorate process because of these kinds of issues. i think change needs to happen, transformation needs to happen. there's no reason why we should still be waiting for for batches of votes to show up.

it calls into question things that shouldn't be. i know there's a different process in every state. we need to get this more uniform so people feel more confident that their vote's being heard because, ultimately, when you think about how the election played out, when we were talking to voters last night, many more than we expected brought up the role democracy played. that meant9 this did get through. people want to make sure every voice is counted -- vote is counted, every voice is heard. so it really does need to be addressed. and this was on both sides of the aisle, it wasn't just one or the other. neil: no, i hear you. sometimes in a vacuum where we don't get resulted the cynicism builds and then, you know, the dark black helicopter crowd goes at it. famously remember in 2020 that given all the absentee ballots and all the early voting, that those results would come in after day-of voting. day-of voting tends to be favored by more republicans than

democrats, so early on donald trump was building up a big lead. then, of course, came those other ballots that were counted afterwards. we knew if ahead of time that that math would change. i remember covering it at the time. and now it fed this notion, oh, it's fixed, it's rigged, and it keeps feeding this beast unless you have a clear procedure going forward. and unless we do, i think we're going to keep running into this. >> i think we need to have some really clear communication about what's at stake here, what's happening and more france a parent city -- transparency, frankly. in this day and age anything that's left ambiguous is going to be the interpreted negatively, and that's what's happening. there's this big black hole where people are just waiting for answers and, unfortunately, people interpret them or fill that narrative with negative narratives. and i'm sure what's happening in arizona is they're counting the votes, every vote will be heard. it's very interesting to me that the senate and governor's race are so different. i expected those to carry each

other in arizona. and so when you look at kelly leading by much more than the governor's race, that's interesting that some people voted for that libertarian candidate who dropped out. neil: interesting. >> so that a early voting had an impact on the senate race as well. there's a lot of lessons to be learned from what just happened, and instead we're wondering why aren't the votes counted. but really republicans should be asking themselves a serious question, as should democrats. this is a lot of lessons on the table here. neil: absolutely. lee, thank you very much. lee carter following all those developments. one place that was not in doubt and clear going exactly to script, in fact, way over what the script was for republican wins in that state, some very big wins at that. and doesn't ashley webster know it in the villages of florida. if ashley. >> reporter: yeah, neil, you're absolutely right. i'm at scooples ice cream parlor, i'm going to grab an ice cream, thank you very much.

these ladies have really looked out for us today. coming up after the break, we're going to talk about the results here in florida yesterday and also what happened around the rest of the country. in the meantime, i'm going to try to finish this enormous ooh ice cream in the time it takes to do the commercials. we'll be right back. ♪ bye-bye, miss american pie ♪

we did remove from pennsylvania ten years ago, and i'm glad that i got to vote here. [laughter] ashley: what made the difference, do you think, here as opposed to -- >> i think with ron desantis being opened as much as he is and having, keeping our state opened and making sure that, you know, businesses stayed open and trying to get the economy back to where it should be. ashley: veried good. same question here to suzanne. are you surprised by the size of the victory for ron desantis yesterday? >> personally, no. ashley: why? >> he's done a a great job, and his policies have proven to be really good for the state of florida. keep people working, keep kids in school, follow the science and not politics with regard to the health care and especially covid and the vaccines. ashley: very good. jerry, you've been here all day. thank you for that, by the way. [laughter] tell me, what was the issue

across the country? the president talked about the threat to democracy. maybe that hit home with some folks? >> it may have hit home with some folks. it wasn't the threat to democracy. i mean, at the end of the day, these are all local elections, and each locale decided what hay wanted to do. so i'm very happy with what happened in florida. wish some of the other states would have gone a red wave, but they didn't, and we'll figure it out. ashley: quickly, desantis, presidential run 2024, or do you want him to stay as governor? >> that's a mixed bag. i would love for him to stay as governor, i would love for him to run -- [laughter] for president. so desantis 2024, i'm onboard. ashley: get onboard. as someone said earlier, neil, they want him to be cloned. well, that can't happen. but it'll be interesting to follow that a particular story, as we know. again, a red wave maybe in florida but not across the rest

of the country. neil: the big everybody issue is that you've hat -- bigger issue is that you've had 28 ice cream cones, and you're still thin and fit. i don't know how you're pulling that off. [laughter] ashley, thank you very much. he's the best. another guy that's really good with at what he does, membership roh shell, macro trends family partner, floridian by nature as well. it's interesting, mitch, you and i have lived through florida being a blue state, end then it kind of veered back to purple, then a little bit red, then purple, now back to red are. but this seems convincing red right now. what do you think? >> i think it's about policy, neil. you know, two things happened in the last two years, you had a lot of transplants -- present company included -- that were fleeing states for a variety of reasons, taxes probably being primary, policies being secondary and maybe they're one and the same. is and then you also have people down here who, you know, were

floridians before and looked at the way things were going in florida versus the rest of the country, and they could see the differences that were glaring and sort of made the policy decision. i i think there's a high correlation between the policies of the desantis administration and the success and prosperity that exists in the state of florida, and i think that people resoundingly said that yesterday in the voting booth. neil: i'm just wondering, is florida a microcosm for what americans might be calling for? because we had a devil of a time even to this minute getting a gauge on where voters wanted this country to go yesterday. but to your point, you know, a lot of these are local races, state races, you know? they're multiplied times hundreds across the country. what do you think? >> one of the things i noticed yesterday, and i was texting a lot with lee carter, you know,

throughout the night was it seems like voters have -- and this is a recent pattern -- vote against a candidate as opposed to for a candidate. but in the state of florida, and the three guests that ash just had are an example of that, people voted for desantis, they voted for rubio. and i think that's the difference, and i think it's a meaningful difference. as it relates to desantis and policy, he reminds me of the first president i ever voted for, ronald reagan. obviously, a much younger version. you stand for small government, liberty, letting people make their own decisions good or bad and suffer the consequences if they're bad. i think that's what voters want today. theyen want freedom. and that's what they're flocking to in florida. neil: well, something seems to be in the water there, even with the threat of another storm there, hurricane nicole. we'll keep an eye on that. thank you very much, my friend. in the meantime here, we've been talking about a lot about ron

desantis and the attention that he's getting because if you wanted to step back and get a gauge of what's going to happen two years from now, there is this sense that maybe there's a new belle of the ball, and his name is not donald trump. it's that guy.

saying i'm the guy who wants your vote on this. my buddy, charlie gasparino, he talks to a lot of powerful people on wall street and elsewhere on what they make of what happened yesterday. to your point, charlie, we don't quite know everything from yesterday. >> i think you could say the republicans had a decent night, okay? there's a lot of doom and gloom, trust me, i've been speaking with a lot of top republican donors that are on wall street, have access to the party chiefs. i've been getting some sort of feedback from my sources who are major investors, a lot of them. so they're on calls with, say, the goldman sachs and morgan stanleys who are giving a sort of postmortem on the midterms. it's not as bad as you think -- neil: back to what we kind of thought was the case. >> if you think about it, the republicans picked up seats in the last election, right, two years ago -- neil: 17 or so. >> -- so put a cap on how many they're going to get today. they're going to get the majority in the house.

it's not the blowout that everybody was thinking about. remember, the polls were starting to move in their direction, and who knows if they stopped, you know, they'll be a postmortem on that. and there's a good chance that herschel walker picks up that seat in georgia because i think, correct me if i'm wrong, if they have a runoff, it's him and warnock. the libertarian guy drops out, those votes might break to herschel. neil: it's a dead even rah race right now. it count take much -- doesn't take much to tip it, to your point. where do you see things going? >> if you drop the libertarian -- neil: wasn't the libertarian in another state? >> no, i think there's a libertarian -- i could be wrong -- neil: the people stomping on herschel walker's political grave are concern. >> yeah what's the real postmortem of now, a few hours afterwards, and it's simply this: that trumpism lost last night. that donald trump, and i say

this as someone who personally likes the guy, okay? but i'm telling you -- neil: he doesn't seem to like you. >> you sure about that? neil: i don't know. [laughter] stir the pot. >> yes, i know. you bastard. [laughter] it just doesn't work. and it's not that the policies don't work, it's like the man is sort of reis viled by so many people -- reviled by so many people. and then if you attach yourself to him and, you know, he comes out -- look what he did yesterday with desantis, i know stuff about him. are we really going to go there? neil: seems very childish. >> that sort of stuff is not going to fly, and it's his candidates that really got, cost the republicans. so that's -- all the wall street firms are giving postmortems. the baton is being passed to desantis -- neil: well, it hasn't stopped donald trump from -- next week i assume he's going to run for president. >> and all the firms think he's going to run. neil: do you think he's going to win?

>> they don't think he can win nationally. they are pointing to desantis as the de facto winner. 20 points in what was a swing state a few years ago is pretty damn good. that's an amazing showing, and donald just didn't keep up with that. i think the -- neil: maybe the people of canada, not before -- >> do you think he could win nationally? neil: no one cares about my opinion. i try to listen to you, you're the expert. >> i had a big fight with joe piscopo about in the last time i was on his show, i said nationally -- and joe went nuts -- neil: you get that reaction. >> but, you know, if last night didn't prove that donald trump is nationally unelectable, you know, joe piscopo should switch to another brand of pot or whatever -- neil: wow. >> -- what's flowing around his head. maybe it's not pot, maybe it's just the air that he breathes. i'm using that as a hypothetical. i don't believe he smokes pot, but maybe he does. en i don't care.

neil: what's your excuse? [laughter] >> definitely not pot. [laughter] neil: we would sit and talk for hours. all right, charlie gasparino, the best in the business, and i do mean that. representative ro khanna on -- he's a california democrat, you know him quite well. he comes on, he states his point of view here. i wish many more in both parties had his ability to just reach out and try to touch audiences that normally either, you know, don't come on fox or don't come on other networks. he refuses to march to that tune. i admire that. the congressman kind enough to join us right now. congressman, we were just talking about donald trump, and i wonder what you make of this issue with ron desantis has emerged. we're told increasingly by people we need a new, younger, fresher face of tomorrow. do democrats need the same, congressman? is there the a sense that joe biden, you know, the party might look younger? what do you think? >> neil, first of all, let's

celebrate one thing from haas night, and that is that -- from last night, and that is that american democracy is very resilient. you look at who won governor of pennsylvania, governor of wisconsin, governor of michigan and all people who are democrats who agreed that joe biden is legitimately elected and then kemp winning in georgia has agreed that joe biden is legitimately elected. so one thing -- neil: well, that wasn't the single issue. there might have been others, right in. >> there might have been be others, but the election deniers didn't have a good night, and the people who are saying, oh, american democracy's in trouble quickly realized that the american people are capable of standing up for people who recognized that elections matter. now, look, i think president biden objectively had a very good night. i think the -- neil: well, he looks like he lost the house. hacked change, to your point. -- that could change, to your point. he could still lose the senate. i definitely see what your talking about. it wasn't the red wave a lot

envisioned. but what people thought would happen in the first place, republicans would take the house, have a shot at the senate, that might be the case, we're kind of back to what we were originally thinking. >> if you compare him to previous presidents, his losses pale into -- in comparison to president obama or applicant -- president clinton, and you have to go back to 2002, president george w. bush's midterm, to see a president that's had as successful a midterm even if we do end up coming up short a few seats in the house. i i believe that's going to quickly rally the party around president biden just because of the success -- neil: well, and you're right people were expecting doom and gloom, you could argue as well, congressman, that the 17-seat pick-up that a republicans had who years ago was sort of baked into part of the cake here. we could argue back and forth on this. is it your sense now that wall street always likes divided government, as you know, but there's a fear here that it

could also mean we're going to go through weeks of not knowing exactly what we're looking at for some time to come, at least until early december when we get the runoff election in georgia if it comes down to that? what do you think? >> let's see also what happens in nevada. i think senator masto still can pull through in which case we would keep the majority because of the vice president regardless of georgia. but here's the good news from are an economy perspective, regardless what happens in the house, even if we're down 5, 6, 7 seats, the outlandish things like holding the country hijacked in debt ceiling disagreement or not being able to pass budgets are far less likely to happen because you're going to have to get democrats probably to vote for a lot of things to keep government functioning. and that bodes well just for us as a country of to have responsible governance and not gridlock that we could have had if there was a huge republican

majority. neil: well, you're not saying that democrats are about fiscal discipline any more than republicans, are you? you both have some black and blue marks on that count. >> i'm not, i'm not -- i mean, i believe that we are better at economic responsibility. but putting that aside -- neil: have you checked inflation, what's been going on with that? have you checked government spending, what's been going on with that? >> well, we can talk about the fed and their role -- neil: fair enough. >> and, of course, president trump had a lot of the spending too. not debating that, neil, the republican, mccarthy, was talking about is he going to raise the debt ceiling, and you mow that could be catastrophic for the country to default on -- neil: if you don't raise the debt ceiling. but you think that this could put pressure since both sides are in charge of the split government now, that they'll work more with each other? >> i think they're going to have to. both because mccarthy or whoever the leader is won't have

a significant margin if they do win and because of split government. and so i think that the possibility of government shutdowns or holding up the function of government are less. and that's good for the country. neil: got it. congressman, always good seeing you. congressman ro khanna, or we'll see if he's right, and the betting does seem to be that are republicans will take control of the house. it's not a done deal just yet. getting closer to the 218, at a minimum, they will need to have control of that body. the senate is anyone's guess right now. to his point, you might not need the runoff election in georgia to decide this, especially if that nevada race ultimately goes to the democrat. but again, it's that sort of uncertainty that's sort of weighing on the markets right now that we might have to wait still some time, maybe upwards of six weeks to get a handle on things or at least a month. wall street doesn't like to wait. we're with also on top of not

only the political weather, but the real weather, particularly in the south, particularly around florida that's now bracing for what could be a category 1 hurricane. it's kind of late in the season for this sort of thing, but it's on right now in what is anything but a sunshine state, after this. ♪ let the rainfall down and wake my dreams. ♪ let it wash away my sanity ♪

neil: all right. we always hear this issue of ballots yet to be counted or ballots that are lost, and it feeds this sort of paranoia that, wait a minute, what's going on here. we're seeing it in, of all places, oregon right now. dan springer has more on side of the story. what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, neil, there may still be 900,000 votes left to be counted. as advertised, this thing is

going down to the wire. there's about a lot of votes left to be counted. in fact, the next big vote drop will happen at 6:00 local time, and that a will give us a much better idea if the republican, christine drazen, has a real shot at making history. right now the democrat, tina coe tech, has about 14,000 more votes than drazen. unaffiliated candidate betsy johnson who many viewed as a potential spoiler is only getting around 9% of vote, she has conceded the lost. phrase doen still thinks she -- drazen still thinks he has a shot at being the first republican governor in 40 years, the only statewide elected office holder on the entire pacific coast right now. last night both candidates were upbeat. >> we need to be patient, and it will just take longer for all the votes to be counts. but i know that you're all patient people. because you believe in democracy. >> we knew-going to be a close

race, and it turns out it is. but we know that when the results are all counted and all of the results are in, that we will, in fact, lead oregon in a few direction. >> reporter: this is a fail-in state, but turnout was very strong on election day as hundreds of thousands of voters held on to their ballots until the final hours. that was especially the case in one county where less than half of the votes have been counted. this is drazen's home district, and she is leading there. but there are also a lot of outstanding votes in washington county where ko, the ek is up by 18 points and multnomah where she is up including portland where people are voting in big numbers for a democrat. drazen's campaign manager said he's feeling good about the election right now, he says they're in a good position.

he's very optimistic that the late-breaking votes will go her way, and if they do, neil, it could be days before hay know -- we know. they will have votes trickling in over the next several days. if this thing tightens today, it will be days before we know. neil? neil: incredible. dan, thank you very much. dan springer on all of that. the idea that we're waiting days for election results, i know 50 different states, 50 different formats, but you'd think they'd get on the same page. i know byron york is all over this ", "the washington examiner," a great read of political things. without getting into the weeds, byron, your sense of what happened yesterday. >> well, the big picture is the one change that almost everybody predicted was that republicans would take over the house, and it appears that they are going to take over the house by a much smaller margin than many people

had thought, but with it appears they'll take over the house, and that is a momentous change that's going to happen in washington. the biggest being, change being if president biden has a legislative agenda for the second half of his term, it's dead. finish not gonna happen. so that's a big deal. as far as the senate is concerned, i really think republicans and almost everybody in the political world need to look at themselves and try to figure out why they thought some of the candidates that they thought would win would win, there was growing confidence that dr. oz would win in pennsylvania. there was a lot of confidence growing that don bolduc might pull off a big upset in new hampshire. there was confidence that blake masters could win in arizona. and none of those things happened. herschel walker's just hanging on by a thread. there's going to be a runoff in georgia, so republicans need to look at themselves, how they

chose their candidates, how they do dismissed the appeal of some democratic arguments and perhaps take it more seriously next time. neil: byron, i agree with you, and you should run the other way, that we're kind of going to what we thought the script would be a month ago. republicans would take the house, i don't know by what margin but, again, considering the 17 seats they gained two years ago, this is not a bad haul over the two election cycles. having said that though, does it have them reconfiguring 2024 and maybe the appeal of donald trump? what do you think? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, this really is a major development. in 2024 on the republican side, the big development being the really big, impressive victory of the governor of florida, ron desantis, who's coming off -- whatever he decides to do, if he decides to run in 2024, he's coming off a big victory, a dominant victory, second term, re-election in florida. that puts him in a very strong

position. obviously, we saw in the last few days of the campaign tensions between former president trump and desantis in which trump kind of tried out a new name for desantis, ron desanctimonious. didn't really work. a lot of negative reaction in the republican world. and then, again, on the night of the election -- or before the election, rump gives an interview with reporters -- trump gives an interview with reporters and says, you know, i know a lot of bad things about robert desantis it is. if he runs, i'll have to tell you -- neil: incredible. >> extraordinary. this is going to have to be resolved somehow, and it might not be very pretty. neil: real quickly, byron, the former president had said, i'm paraphrasing here, that it would be with very disloyal if he were to run for president, for any other republicanned to do the same. i don't think that's going to carry much weight. >> no. it's not unusual, i think, to

hear president trump say this. i mean, who wans competition? neil: right. >> but if he had hid way, the form -- his way, the former president would like to run as the incumbent president, and you don't challenge incumbent presidents. but he's not the incumbent president. and i think that this victory with ron desantis would be very encouraging for him to go ahead and try, because if he sits out four more years, he'll be a former governor of florida. who knows what could happen. he's in a very strong position right now. neil: yeah. you've got to seize your moment. thank you, byron york. always good chatting with you, my friend. we talk about the political weather, in florida some real weather to consider, including a potential category one hurricane. we're on that after this. ng for the holidays with chase freedom unlimited. you know i can't believe you lost another kevin. it's a holiday tradition! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited. ♪ ♪

storm nicole barrels towards florida. schools are closed and shelters are open for the thousands of people who need to get to safety who live on the barrier islands in mobile homes or in low-lying areas. governor ron desantis spoke just hours ago reminding floridians he is confident they are prepared for the storm. organizing those resources ahead of its impact much like what we saw during hurricane ian, the main threats for this storm are storm surge, high winds and a lot of flooding that we could see happen as that storm slowly starts to make landfall in the next several hours, into the night tonight and early thursday morning, neil. neil: thank you very much for that, nicole. and if this update as well on the national hurricane center lifting the tropical storm watch from miami-dade county wednesday afternoon. the primary impact will be a tad further north.
