12:01 pm
amounts of money time and star power to pennsylvania where republican mehmet oz and democrat john fetterman have been running neck and neck. sandra: former president obama and president biden appearing with fetterman in philadelphia this weekend while former president trump rallied with oz just outside of pittsburgh. we have you covered over the next two with hours with political analysis you will not want to to and cannot miss. john: plus, our team of reporters on the campaign trail following all of the closest races. we're going to start with bryan llenas in bucks county, pennsylvania. what's dr. oz's message to voters there today, bryan? >> reporter: hey, john, good afternoon. well, dr. oz's message to philadelphia's suburban message here is simple, elect him and and you'll get bipartisanship and balance in washington d.c. elect his opponent, john petterman, and you'll get a radical. bipartisanship was a focus of a round table discussion here in bucks county featuring senator susan collins from maine. the county is important and
12:02 pm
highly competitive the here in bucks. in 2020 biden won pennsylvania thanks in part to winning bucks county by 17,000 votes. in 2016 hillary clinton lost pennsylvania after winning bucks by fewer than 3,000 votes. last night in philadelphia just 40 minutes from where we are, 9 people were shot in one shooting. one way oz is trying to sway suburban voters is focusing on the issue of record high crime in philly which he says is being fueled by progressive policies. former president obama and president biden railed -- rallied in this city last night, highlighting how fetterman will fight gun violence. president trump rallied with oz outside pittsburgh where crime was a big part of their closing message to voters. here are the three presidents. >> john fetterman will be in the senate and be able to help me add one more thing what i got done when i was a senator, ban
12:03 pm
assault weapons. [cheers and applause] ban 'em! ban them, ban them! >> he knows you, he's been there, he's fighting for you every day! >> we're going to make america great again, we first have to make america safe again. under the radical left, crazy democrats -- >> reporter: underscoring the importance of bucks county, fetterman will be holding a rally here at 3:45 today. john? john: looking forward to coverage of that. all right, sandra? sandra: let's bring in the senior political correspondent from axios and a fox news contributor. josh, i cannot wait to pick your brain. let's focus on the senate race in pennsylvania first off because we're going to -- let's put it on the touch screen here. as far as counties that we are watching, you're certainly seeing former president trump out there in erie county trying to rally the base. but down in the southeast corner of the state, bucks county,
12:04 pm
where you are seeing dr. oz spend a lot of time down there because this is really the focus for swing voters. what are you seeing playing out in pennsylvania three days out? >> bucks county is the bellwether of bellwethers. it's gone back and forth between republicans and democrats. dr. oz got the trump endorsement, and he needed to to get the base energized last night. to win this election between oz and fetterman, he's got to win the suburban voters looking for the more moderate candidate. his campaign ads are targeted towards these suburban philadelphia counties like bucks county. he says he's not the extremist in the race, trying to portray fetterman as soar to the left to win over these middle of the road, bucks county voters. sandra: we were playing out a video with president trump standing behind dr. oz in latrobe, pennsylvania. why is that so important? >> that's conservative territory out west, and that's where the base needs to show up also for dr. oz and other republican candidates down the ballot.
12:05 pm
dr. oz has to thread a very, very tricky needle. to win in a state that's always closely divided, he's got to get the base out in the rural parts of the state, out in western pennsylvania, but he can't alienate the suburban voters. he spent time today with susan collins in buck county, like the moderate republican, susan collins, the congressman who's a republican from bucks county, brian fitzpatrick, one of the most moderate republicans in congress. he's trying to do a two-step -- sandra: yeah. these dynamics are all so fascinating. and you look at the fact that erie county went to joe biden in the last presidential election, but he flipped what a president trump won out in erie county in the 2016 presidential election. go to the center of the state, center county. why is this so important? president biden won it last time around. >> that's a college town, penn state. you need to get the college kids, the younger voters to show up, certainly those that attend or have graduated from penn state, the professors.
12:06 pm
the thing that i think worries democrats about pennsylvania is that that youth turnout is not where they want it to be. they're looking at some of these early vote numbers, looking at some of the early polling that's been done, and young voters are going to vote democratic, but are they going to show up? that's the question. sandra: i mean, this could be the state, this could be the race that decides the balance of power in the senate. this is just a little bit of what we heard yesterday on the campaign trail, trump, obama, biden in pennsylvania yesterday. listen. >> biden and the far-left lunatics are waging war on pennsylvania energy, crushing pennsylvania jobs, gutting pennsylvania communities and strangling pennsylvania families with soaring prices like you've never seen before. >> i lived in pennsylvania longer than oz has lived in pennsylvania. >> who do you really think knows more about budgets and having to pay the bills, john fetterman or dr. oz? come on.
12:07 pm
sandra: and you writing about just this, those campaign stop toes -- in your -- stops in your reporting on axios, you say the three presidents target pennsylvania for 2022 closing arguments. how would you characterize their closing arguments, josh in. >> look, they're coming from two ideologically different perspectives, but they -- obama, trump, biden all know how important pennsylvania is on the political map. whichever party wins that senate seat in pennsylvania is, in all likelihood, going to win the majority. the paradox, what makes it interesting, biden's not popular in pennsylvania. trump's numbers are not that good in pennsylvania earth -- either, so you've got to get the president, the ex-president to show up. what was interesting in philadelphia at the democratic rally, biden wasn't the closing speaker, it was obama. and when the current president isn't popular enough to really be at center stage to drive that energy, it's a worrisome sign. sandra: okay. just because i'm also going to take a spin on the touch screen
12:08 pm
and highlight northampton, obviously in the middle-border of the state of pennsylvania, on the eastern edge, why also is that so important? >> that's the lehigh valley. two very important swing house races could determine which party takes the house majority. but those are always battleground counties, battleground districts. sandra: yeah. >> they're are trending a little bit more in the republican direction. it's a blue collar area, but oz needs to do well there concern. sandra: trump won it in 2016, biden flipped it last time around. this is one of the key four swing counties. josh, i appreciate your enthusiasm three days out. thank you very much, sir. >> thank you, sandra. john: now to georgia which shows no candidate with more than 50% support, that means that we could be doing this all over again next month with possible runoff elections scheduled for december 6th. aishah hasnie is live in hiram,
12:09 pm
georgia, and candidates have got to be feeling the pressure to get above 50%. >> reporter: hey there, john, good afternoon to you. not a soul in georgia wants to see a runoff. they are sick of this campaign season, they want it to be over. it really comes down to voter turnout now, and we've seen both campaigns really hitting that hard on the trail this weekend and today. in fact, i just caught up with former ambassador nikki haley who is out here in hiram, georgia, stumping for herschel walker, the republican. she's been telling voters, look, do not listen to this red wave stuff, and i just asked her, does that mean that republicans are nervous? watch. are republicans nervous going into this election day? you've got two more days -- really one more day left of campaigning. it's a neck and neck race. >> it's not as much being nest as it is about being humble and disciplined. it's about making sure we let americans know that two years of this is enough, and if you don't like what's happening in your savings and retirement accounts,
12:10 pm
what's happening at the gas station and the grocery store, you can change it, but you've got to turn out to vote. and we need everybody out there on tuesday. >> reporter: john, there's a lot at stake here georgia. democrats, as you know, took control of the senate in the last elections cycle by flipping georgia, and this time around we're neck and neck. but right now walker has the momentum going into election day having closed the gap with incumbent senator raphael warnock. meanwhile, senator jon ossoff has been hitting the trail hard for war mach. really important, warnock still holds the advantage among independents in this state, that's according to the recent fox news polling as really it is about who can get their base to show up on tuesday. john? john: all right, aishah hasnie for us, and, sandra, that is going to be one race to watchen on tuesday. of. sandra: absolutely. and as i mentioned, we would take a spin here to sort of dial in and show you on the map what we just talked about with josh,
12:11 pm
especially since pennsylvania is getting all these campaign stop visits right now and take you into this senate race in pennsylvania where fetterman and oz are battling it out, neck and neck in this race hacked determine control of -- that could determine control of the senate, balance of power in the senate. here's the race, here's the state. i flip it back to the presidential outcome of the last election, 020, and you can see, obviously, that 1.2% difference when president biden eked out a victory over former president donald trump in this state. as i mentioned, some of the key counties down here in the northwest -- sorry, the northeast corner of the state, bucks county, this is a swing county as josh just mentioned. this is going to be key to watch. you look at that narrow margin of victory for biden last time around, and, you know, john, i don't have to tell you, northampton county, this is a huge focus here. look at that slim margin, .7% made up the difference when president biden won this county last time around in the 2020
12:12 pm
presidential election. this is going to be one to watch. president trump won this back in 2016, and you go to the center of the state, obviously, college town, young voters going to be key in center county, pennsylvania. and this is what josh was talking about, the northwest corner of the state, erie county. president trump has been on the ground campaigning for dr. oz. this is sort of a rally for the base in that state. this, ooh too, flipped for biden last time around. president trump won it in the 2016 presidential election. those are four key swing counties that we're watching in pennsylvania, john. john: covering as many presidential candidates as i have, i feel like i've been in every corner of that state -- [laughter] and every corner of that state is important to the candidates who are running. and the way it turns out on tuesday night really could tell the tale for where we're headed. sandra: absolutely. another spin on here later on, john, looking forward to the senate contests coming down to the wire. it is happening in wisconsin as
12:13 pm
republican ron johnson fights for his political survival existence democrat mandela barnes. how voters in the badger state are feeling about that race. john: plus, it was thought to be an easy win, now president biden is making a last minute trip to new york to drum up support for governor kathy hochul. will the close race between hochul and leen be a wake-up call for democrats -- lee zeldin? our political panel, walling and avella, weighs in coming up next. >> new york needs to change. i think the people across the political spectrum -- not just republicans and conservatives, but democrats -- know that new york needs to change, which is why zeldin has a very real chance. ♪ ♪ i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein.

♪ ♪ sandra: a pair of crucial races in wisconsin still up in the air. republican-controlled senate seat and a democrat-held governor seat could potentially switch parties. grady trimble, the two gop candidates have been teaming up on the trail. what has been their closing message to voters? >> reporter: hi, sandra. republican senator ron johnson and governor hopeful tim michaels have been hitting their opponents on inflation, education, immigration and crime. on inflation and energy prices, senator johnson told me this morning that democrats are, quote, detached from reality especially after president biden's comment about shutting down coal plants. >> each set of our economy is power by fossil fuels. you have to recognize the reality of the situation. let's not have these self-inflicted wounds that are hurting real people. again, this is a fantasy they're trying to push on the american public, and it's causing real
12:19 pm
pain to wisconsinites. >> reporter: johnson's challenger, mandela barnes, doesn't mention inflation much during his stump speeches, he's folk more on the second biggest issue in the badger state, abortion. governor tony evers is claiming tim michaels is undermining democracy after he said, quote, republicans will never lose another election in wisconsin if he wins. michaels clarified it's because voters will like his policies. >> when we lower taxes, when we lower crime in wisconsin, when we reform education and we have better schools, we are going to never look back. >> reporter: both races could come down to turnout in rural areas versus cities, and that is why evers and barnes, the democrats, have been spending so much time in the two biggest states, cities in the state,
12:20 pm
rather, here in madison and milwaukee this weekend trying to get out the urban vote. sandra? sandra: grady trimble on the ground in madison for us, thank you. john? john: president biden set to make one of his final stops before the midterms, but it won't be in a typical swing state. instead, he's going to be in deep blue new york to help governor kathy hochul. our fox news power rankings have shifted the race from likely democrat to lean democrat with mobile's handling of crime becoming a top issue. kevin walling is a former biden campaign surrogate, and david avella is chairman of go pac. great to see you. by the moment, it seems lee zeldin's gaining on kathy hochul, but now some democrats are saying the race tightening is going to increase support for kathy hochul. it's kind of like the panic vote? >> certainly, all eyes on this governor's race in an unexpected way. i think the first rule of being a surrogate whether you're president or former president is to do no harm.
12:21 pm
president biden is actually very popular in the state of new york and one of the few places where he really has strong coattails, so i think it makes sense for him to stump for the governor. and it's not just about governor hochul, he's in the new york media market. we've got five key house races down ballot as well that we've got to maintain our lead in. it's also about bringing that that democratic powerhouse to the empire state. john: yeah. how things go across the country may depend on what happens with some of those close races. when you look at the rcp average of the governor's race in the state of new york, david, kathy hochul's got 50.6%, zeldin at 44.4. that's within 6 points. the fact that biden's got to go campaign in a state that he won by more than 20 points, what does that say? >> let's take kevin's point a different way which is the white house has decided they're going to run out the clock. they know they're going to lose, and they're going to go to places where they think they can be the safest. the gubernatorial candidate in nevada didn't want president
12:22 pm
biden. stacey abrams didn't ask biden -- john: tim ryan, ohio. >> exactly. going state after state you have a president that is more of an anchor on democratic candidates than a plus. and the fact that john fetterman had him come to pennsylvania yesterday insures fetterman gets the gold medal for worst candidate of this cycle. [laughter] >> i think it's a heavy competition, by the way. [laughter] john: when you take a look, kevin, at the issue of crime which is central in this new york race, you hear hochul saying, oh, i don't know why this is so important to you, and hillary clinton chimes in and says, well, this is all a manifestation of republicans who are trying to scare you. listen to what happened friday evening at 11:00 when stephanie if raoul of msnbc said this to kathy hochul. >> here's the problem, we don't feel safe. you might be working closely with mayor adams, you may have spent a whole lot of money, but i walk in to my pharmacy, and everything's on lockdown because of shop lit -- shoplifters.
12:23 pm
i'm not going in the subway. people don't feel safe in this town. you may have done these things, but right now we're 230 not feeling good. john: she's not exactly a conservative who's trying to sandbag kathy hochul. what does it say that somebody like that basically says you can talk all you want about crime, we don't feel safe, we don't believe you? >> msnbc person is saying what's reality. voters don't feel safe, and crime rates are up. and as much as it will impact the governor's race, what we're not talking about is the number of prosecuting attorneys across the country that are going to get taken out as they have defended george soros' defend the criminal, not the victim approach. not only are the governors in big trouble, so are these prosecuting attorneys -- john: well, we saw a couple of races last year in the off-year election where republican district attorneys in nassau and suffolk counties got elected, to many people's surprise. is that kind of an indication where we may be headed when it
12:24 pm
comes to crime? >> yeah, i think it's a good question. politics is perception. we can argue about statistics, and i think democrats get lost in that. we talk about increasing police funding, but that doesn't matter if people in that interview, as you just saw, don't feel safe. we love to scream and yell at the states with the highest murder per capita rates are republican-run states. that doesn't matter if you don't feel safe in your own home. so democrats, i think, have failed to make the case on that argument. we, again, hide behind statistics, we hide behind the funding that we've done by the police, but it we're not meeting voters where they are at on this issue, that's why you're seeing ground being made up by lee zeldin. john: barack obama campaigning for john fetterman in the state of pennsylvania, said who knows more about paying the bills and balancing a budget, john fetterman or mehmet oz, and when i heard that, i thought to myself, did obama miss the fact
12:25 pm
that fetterman lived off his parents until he was almost 50 years old? >> president biden is -- president obama is going to exceed president biden's dismal record of helping democrats get elected. we're on the discuss cusp of republicans getting over 250 seats in the u.s. house. when the three of us get back together next time, there's going to be 53 or 54 republicans in the u.s. senate, and you know what we're not going to hear anymore? get rid of the filibuster, let's add to the supreme court -- john: you want to comment on that? rick sat there last week and said 52 plus. >> republicans, you can stay home, david says it's already won. [laughter] it's going to be a red wave, and we're going to be just fine. david: but get out that panic vote for kathy hochul. >> exactly. [laughter] thanks, john, good to see you. john: that was fun, sandra. sandra: just remarkable. and going back to that sound bite of that anchor on another network challenging kathy
12:26 pm
hochul, perhaps in an unexpected challenge to hochul -- [laughter] it was a moment of sheer honesty. i mean, if you live in new york and, john, you brought up, i feel like it was 6, 8, 10 months ago, you walk into a pharmacy here, and you have to get your toothpaste unlocked. this is the reality of life for people living in new york right now. and then if you want to get on a subway to buy it somewhere else, you're terrified. people are scared, and that's a reasonable challenge to the governor. john: we're going to continue to talk law and order when candidate for new york's 4th congressional district joins us, he's out there on long island where, as we were talking with kevin, those district attorneys in suffolk and nassau county who are republican, were elected in surprise votes last november. could that be the beginning of coattails across new york? sandra: that's coming up. meanwhile, we are just days away from finding out who the big winners will be, so what should we expect on election night?

12:32 pm
sunday. we appreciate you joining us. is so look ahead to election night and give us what you'll be watching as far as poll closings, what can give you an early indication of how this is going. >> good. first at 6 p.m., parts of indiana/kentucky close, those in the eastern time zone. there are no competitive races in those two states in the eastern time zone. but i'm going to to be starting to look at the individual congressional district returns, comparing what the member got this time, democrat or republican, to what they got two years ago because that's going to help to begin to suggest what the swing might be. between a presidential election year and the first midterm, you have a swing generally against the party in power. only twice in our history has that not happened. i want to get a handle on how big that swing in. then at 7 p.m. georgia and virginia close. georgia, the governor's race, how big is brian kemp winning by, because the bigger he wins, the bigger the chance herschel walker has to win that senate
12:33 pm
seat. and virginia has three competitive congressional races. it reports pretty quickly. if republicans take one seat, it's going to be a good night. two, a great night, three, a blowout. 7:30, mcand ohio, republicans have got to -- north carolina and ohio. again, these states tend to report early, particularly north carolina. 8 p.m., pennsylvania. the election -- . >> control of the senate may come down to pennsylvania. we may not know the results for some time because mail-in ballots there cannot be processed and verified until 7 a.m. on the morning of the election and then counts -- counted after 7 p.m. when they close. so the, this is going to be key to finding out whether or not the republicans hold on to pennsylvania. if they hold on to pennsylvania, they're likely to take the senate. sandra: a got it. >> florida, it's going to be how big is she desantis and marco rubio winning by. that's going to be important, particularly for desantis'
12:34 pm
future, and do the republicans take heavily-hispanic miami-dade county. last time they did so was when jebing bush ran for re-election in 2002. if hay take it big, that's a sign of the latino vote around the rest of the country might be moving they way. and then, finally, new hampshire which could if an upset in the senate. we'll see. again, it depends on how strong the governor, chris sununu, runs. 9 p.m., bam. lots of stuff. sandra: here we go, yeah. >> senate race in wisconsin, they generally report quickly. arizona, that's going to take some time. the governor's race there, is kari lake winning strong enough that she brings blake masters in or does mark kelly prevail? new york, wow, we've got a race here. not only is it going to be a race that has an impact on the governor's race it, but how strong lee zeldin runs will have an impact on congressional races. republicans could add as many as 4 eat seats to their total in the u.s. house in new york, and they're certainly going to add a couple. then the california senate race
12:35 pm
comes in, michigan governor's race and then texas comes in, my e home state of texas comes in at that point. 10:00, nevada. really critical. that's the best republican possibility for a pick-up. they keep in the 8:00 hour of pennsylvania and the 10:00 pick up nevada, then in all likelihood the republicans control the senate. and then at 11:00 we have the west coast come in, and we're going to have weird states. we've got a senate race that may be a surprise, a shocker in washington state, but oregon is going to be weird because three-way race for governor, republicans have the first chance since 1982 to win the governor's race, and we're likely to see the republicans add one or two congressional seats in oregon. and at the same time, they're trying to defend five and pick up four in california. is so we're going to have all kinds of contests at the end of the evening that are going to begin to show up. sandra: all right. follow-up on two of those states. obviously, looking at pennsylvania -- >> right. sandra: -- first and the e i mouse amount of campaigning we've seen from current and past
12:36 pm
presidents. this is just going to be, obviously, one of the key states to watch when it comes to the senate. >> well, is and, look, joe biden has a personal interest in this, worn in scrapton. he was sort of like the -- scranton. the democrats understand it. mehmet oz wins that seat, then the republicans in all likelihood take the senate. they also understand they've got a candidate on their side who's struggling. sandra: ten seconds left, new york. watching this race with zeldin and hochul. >> wow. crime issue has exploded, she's mishandled it. these recent public appearances of hers have not been helpful to her efforts, zeldin has run a heck of a race. the fact that we're even talking about new york potentially electing the first republican governor in 20 years really says something about the state of the state. sandra: as we mentioned, analysis yo you -- you cannot miss. thanks, karl. john: another tight senate battle brewing in ohio where democrat tim ryan is trying to

his opponent in this race, ohio congressman tim ryan, is trying to run more as ad moderate and has even credited trump for taking on china during the campaign. but vance says ryan's record in congress, as well as his previous support if the biden administration, speaks for itself. >> just neat to make sure that voters know who tim ryan is and the fact that tim ryan's campaign doesn't at all match up with his record, that's really the idea. >> reporter: today tim ryan is also out on the stump. he was visiting multiple churches in the columbus area this morning. we also had a chance to catch up with him on the trail, and we asked him about this rally tomorrow night in dayton. he says it's going to have little to do with shapeing tuesday's outcome. >> people know that donald trump does not respect j.d. vance. he humiliated him in front of, you know, in front of the whole country, and he doesn't respect hip. and so -- him. they want, those voters who voted for trump because they thought he was strong aren't going to vote for someone who's an ass kisser.
12:39 pm
>> reporter: we've heard that same message over and over again, and ryan has certainly run a more unorthodox. cam paint he's also a made it clear he's not happy with the national democratic party. but j.d. vance is trying to throw that back at him saying look at his voting record and look what he's been in congress doing since 2003. we've also seen the exact opposite approach for j.d. vance. while he is embracing governor mike dewine, making it clear they see a united front as an advantage. john: some colorful language i but you know what they say, mark, politics ain't bean bag.

key sticking points in a very close arizona governor's race. the state experienced severe learning loss during the pandemic. i want to share some numbers with you, something known as the nation's report cards. it showed a 9-point drop in math scores since covid. the nation already saw the steepest decline in history, and arizona was worse than the national average. we haven't seen math scores this low in the state since 2003. the state did recently pass a law enabling arizona families to have school choice, funding up to $7,000 for that initiative. it's something that democratic candidate katie the hobbs, by the way, opposed. but though that's a win for parents, we spoke to a mom who's also a teacher and shared many still don't feel like they have a voice in this. >> there's so much going on in the world these days that it's important that parents have a voice and to also know that our children are safe and they're learning the best that they can because they are our future. >> reporter: now, in addition to that learning loss another

12:53 pm
how do you see the race, and how to you see your chances? >> we are really looking forward to tuesday. our most recent poll had us up by 4. we've worked much harder than my opponent, and i think her experience is going to do the exact opposite for her on november 8th. people around here are fed up with career politicians. i'm a small business other than, an attorney in this area, and i can tell you that i'm talk to -- talking to constituents that don't want more of the same. my opponent and her family have represented akron, as you mentioned, for over 40 years, and when you look at akron right now, people are facing financial decisions they shouldn't have to be making, the all-time high violent crime rate when it comes to what we're looking at numbers, and over 70% increase since 2020 on opioid overdose deaths. so it's a very difficult time for many people, and i think that people are sick of career politicians. they want solutions, they want common sense answers to the

problems, and they don't want someone who's going to be a rubber stamp for the biden and pelosi agenda, and that's what my opponent will be. john: 538.com gave you a more than 80% chance of winning that seat back in early october. you talked a lot about the economy and energy, so does the your opponent as well. i mean, what are the issues that really matter to voters there in northeastern ohio? >> well, again, this is an election about choices, and people are making choices when it comes to what they're spending their money on right now. and these are choices they don't want to have to be making. when we're talking about the economy, we're talking about common sense solutions, about the actual cause for inflation, overspending in washington. i'm talking about a balanced budget amendment, which is something i've been talking about for a long time. so i'm talking about how we can actually solve the problems whereas my opponent's recognizing that we have problems but has absolutely no offer of how to solve them. on my web site, madison for congress.com, people can look at a host of promises that i've made that we plan to keep when
12:55 pm
it comes to being able to directly impact their lives. and we look forward to putting constituents is versus being someone who has a direct line of access to people within the ticket so that we can -- district so that we can get the problem solved. john: you were endorsed by the former president, and some people are looking at this race and saying this is a localized version of what we saw back in 2020, and that was president trump -- a maga republican -- going up against what we thought was moderate democrat joe biden. do you see the parallels there? >> i think when you look at this race, it's common sense versus radical, liberal ideology. we have the common sense solutions that are going to impact people's lives positively, and my opponent, again, a rubber stamp for the pelosi-biden agenda, and we'll continue to push down the road of -- will continue to push down the road of policies that do not help people's lives. john: madison, good to spend time with you. we'll be watching this race
