get out to vote. so i can get to dc and fight for everyone of you. >> i have been running a marathon since august 24. this is when i step up. this current direction does not work, kathy hochul is not getting this job done. >> let's beat the democrats and take this country back one step at a time. >> todd: polls are now open in vermont and voters will be able to cast ballots in connecticut, indiana, maine, new york, new jersey and virginia one hour from now, you're watching "fox and friends first" on tuesday morning midterm election day, i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. a third of the senate and 36 governor races across the country are on the ballot with balance of power and future of america at stake. republicans need to net gain of five seats to take back the

house, only one seat to flip the senate and all eyes are on key battleground states. brooke singman has the latest, >> brooke: good morning, it is 5:00 a.m. and election day has officially begun, 34 million ballots have been cast by mail or in person at early voting centers according to the associated press. republicans are looking to flip both chambers of congress, 35 seats up for grabs and 435 house seats are up for election and all eyes on the battleground as republicans hope today is reverend up on failing democratic policies and could come down to pennsylvania, georgia, nevada and arizona, just four states. senate candidates speaking at rallies yesterday in one final effort to garner support. >> too many extreme positions in washington, too much out there pulling us away from where the real answers lie.

i will bring balance to washington, but john fetterman will bring more extreme. >> dr. oz will still be a fraud, i need every one of you to get out to vote. so i can get to dc and fight for every one of you. >> sunday him back to new jersey. >> the issues are too urgents, the stakes are too high and differences between me and herschel walker are too wide to sleep through tomorrow. >> we get it right, they are trying to take us down that elevator and tell us this is the new normal, no, it is not. >> the difference between who is fighting and who is standing with them and those candidates are running for their own political interest and gains. >> doesn't matter how much she lied about her record or our record, nevada voters have known better. >> we know guys like blake masters, guys that know better than everyone about everything and we do not want individuals like my opponent making

decisions for all of you. >> mark kelly is joe biden's waterboy in the united states senate, he votes in lock step for that horrible agenda. >> now i spoke with former president trump who told me this could be the most interesting midterm they have ever had, trump telling me he thinks republicans have "a good chance of big success today," and i spoke with gop texas senator ted cruz, who said this is going to be a red tsunami. election results could be delayed in pennsylvania, thinking about the time-consuming book reconciliation and candidate john fetterman sues election officials demanding undated absentee ballots be counted. the date requirement imposes unnecessary hurdles eligible

pennsylvania must clear to exercise their most fundamental rights. jd vance and tim ryan, listen. >> either the extremists are going to continue to assert themselves into the body politic of the united states of america. or we stop them. >> let's solve the problems, break up the tech companies, go to war against the cartels and make this country great again. >> as president trump puts his support behind vance, he teased at his rally last night, he will make a major froument from mar-a-lago signalling a white house run. carley and todd. >> carley: will cain is in satellite beach florida talking to voters. will, good morning, you did not

draw the short straw, getting sent to florida, which used to be a swing state there is discussion if it is officially red and that will be decided today. >> will: that is, it looks like florida is now decidedly red and looks like i'm not the only one who got up early "fox and friends first" is early in the morning and when we show up to a diner at 5 a.m., not a lot of people waiting to see us. what time were you sitting out front? >> 3:15. >> will: ready to talk to todd and carley. florida now brevard county at morning glory cafe in satellite beach, win for donald trump in 2016 and 2020. ron desantis with a lead over --

when did you vote? >> early voting last week. >> >> will: all right. what do you think the answer is to this question. in my memory, florida was purple, it was a swing state, red sometimes, blue sometimes, now seems reliably red, why? >> we have an incredible leader with desantis in our state and i think that he has shown us what a strong leader is. i wouldn't want to live in any other state, love florida. >> will: how many people voted already here? what was number one issue for you when you were voting? >> inflation. >> i keep hearing that over and over, i've done so many diners, texas, florida, inflation, they are all nodding, inflation is number one issue. >> will: look, florida may not be in question today, this is the center of attention, matter of a week, we'll be talking about perhaps the governor of florida and donald trump facing off in a republican primary,

could be the story here in days. back to you guys. >> carley: from 2022 to 2024. >> todd: will will be there from 6 to 9 a.m. eastern. >> carley: thanks to the people waking up early. >> todd: could cost kathy hochul the governor's race, here is what she just said about lee zeldin. >> he's been hyperventilating, trying to scare people for months and new yorkers are on to it, legitimate organizationings have called him out. >> carley: wow, tomi lahren will respond to that, kicking off election day right here on "fox and friends first."

>> carley: polls have opened as dozens of governor seats are up for grabs. several democrats are fighting to keep their seats. >> todd: republicans pushing hard on kitchen table is issues >> marianne: one hot race is in

new york, republican lee zeldin is hoping to become the state's first republican governor since 1994, he's in a tight race against incumbent kathy hochul who criticized lee zeldin's focus on out of control crime in the city. >> he's been hyperventilating, trying to scare people for months and new yorkers are on to it, all the organizations have called him out for what he is doing, fearmongering. >> she's missed on an opportunity to connect with voters on an issue most important to so many of them, she's ridiculed them. as a result, come tomorrow, i believe she is going to get fired by the voters of new york who want to take their streets back. >> marianne: another race to watch is oregon, drazen hopes to unseat cotech. >> oregon citizens are talking

about kitchen table issues, tina cotech has been in charge and linked arms with kate brown and driven our beautiful great state of oregon into the ditch and oregon citizens demand better. >> marianne: former news anchor cari lake pulled ahead of katie hobbs, lake is zeroing in on securing the border. >> we have to secure the border and somebody who was a political type said, don't talk about that, that might offend people. i'm offended the border is wide open and drugs are pouring across and killing young people and i'm tired of having the left tell us what we can and can't talk about. >> marianne: in michigan, tudor dixon running on education and parental involvement, hoping that will propel her to a win over governor whitmer.

>> our message is parents want to have someone who will stand with them, we've heard from democrats and republicans, they believe they have been abandoned by the democratic party and want parents involved in education. >> marianne: close race in wisconsin, tony evers promising to fight gerrymandering and his opponent tim michaels focuses on crime. polls are open in vermont, where incumbent phil scott is taking on brenda segall in the race for governor. >> todd: thank you, bring in outkick host tomi lahren. tomi, here is a telling quote in the "new york post" from a new york city voter. "hochul won't clean up the subway, me and my mom are on food stamps, i won't let her take the subway by herself. if she needs to go, i ride the subway with her or pay for a cab, it is expensive but better

than letting her take the subway," and combine that with the fact early vote totals in new york city are extremely low and bodes poorly for kathy hochul. does lee zeldin pull off the upset? >> i think so, we don't want to be overly confident and count our chickens before they hatch, like the person you talked about, the new york city commuter, so many former democrats out there are going to vote republican for the first time in we hope for a long time because they are sick and tired of democrats ignoring the issues they care about. kathy hochul saying people focusing on crime are hyperventilating, are you kidding me? over reaction to be safe on your street, walking to your job or to dinner? the american people are sick of being told things they are worried about don't matter or overreaction and first-time voters are going red, it is not

about personality and social media, they are about getting things done and making americans fooel safe and they can afford things again, two issues people are going to vote for today and i think it will be a big red wave to follow the red moon. >> carley: you are right about crime and the economy, energy prices, it is surprising over the weekend, the president said he would shut down coal plants and listen to this explanation from karine jean-pierre as to why he may or may not have made that comment. watch this. >> president biden: no one is building new coal plants, they can't rely on it. we will shut plants down across america and having wind and solar. some of you were there, it was loud and hard to hear, i think, or maybe not exactly what was being said. president biden knows the men and women of coal country spent this nation and he spent this

presidency fighting for coal communities. >> carley: loud and hard to hear, tomi, what do you think about that? >> tomi: that is weird, i heard our president loud and clear, this is how flippant our president is on entire industry and living for so many hard-working americans, they frankly don't care, it is about the politics. i say to democrats that ran on the green new deal and pushed climate extremism policies, this is what the democrats think of you, you are a political game to them. i would say to democrats, if you really stood behind that green new deal, what you want to campaign on, stick to that because the american people are listening. people in those places are listening to you and people who have to pay energy bills, especially this winter as it gets colder, they are listening to you, have been listening to you, it is loud and clear, not hard to hear and that is why again, you are going to see a

big, red wave today. we could hear our president and have been hearing him for months on end. >> carley: tomi lahren, thank you. too many lies to counts, "washington post" giving president biden a repeated pinobodyingio? did you see this? >> todd: i did see this. you know who else saw this? joe concha, he is here to react. hi, my name's steve. i lost 138 pounds on golo and i kept it off. so with other diets, you just feel like

you're muscling your way through it. the reason why i like golo is plain and simple, it was easy. i didn't have to grit my teeth and do a diet. golo's a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. golo's changed my life in so many ways. i sleep better, i eat better. took my shirt off for the first time in 25 years. it's golo. it's all golo. it's smarter, it's better, it will change your life forever.

an unthinkable genocide took the lives of six million jews and thousands of jewish survivors are still suffering in poverty today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day which is impossible. this now, is how god's children are living.

take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews. the international fellowship of christians and jews urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. when you call right now, your gift's impact will be doubled to help save lives. no vitamins and no protein so my legs and hands are very weak. oh, oh, oh let's make sure that we bring them just a little bit of hope. by bringing them a little bit of food. for just $25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. when you call right now, your gift's impact will be doubled to help save lives. your support will provide them with a box

overflowing with nourishing food and the knowledge that faithful christians around the world care about them. god tells us to take care of them, to feed the hungry. ay holocaust survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive. >> janice: good morning, we made it, it is election day. here is the forecast. across the sent ral u.s., showers, thunderstorm or two, the west i'm concerned about, especially nevada. we have rain in the forecast in some voting areas and snow in the higher elevations, look at reno, 38 and snow and freezing rain, that is not good. we have rain in the forecast for las vegas and henderson and reno

and carson city, potential for some snow. get out there early to vote, polls will be open. sub-tropical storm update, hurricane warning for the bahamas. it goes across the state of florida, don't pay attention to the center line, it could potentially impact the east coast, parts of the west coast and southeast, mid-atlantic as nor'easter, we'll update you on that. foxweather.com for latest election details. over to you. >> todd: "washington post" just fact checked biden and gave him a pinocchio rating, fact checker explaining president biden is a gaffe machine, no excuse for a president making false or misleading statements. >> carley: joe concha joins us

now, one comment was the fact the president is saying gas prices are down from $5, when he took office, which is not true. >> joe: dropped faster than any moment in history. like me saying i lost five pounds and gained six back and i lost so much weight. bott bottomless pinocchio. you are watching bottomless pinocchio again? this president provides ample material to fact check on a daily basis and has since he took office. he keeps saying the border is secure, it is not. he keeps saying zero inflation, it is not. saying republicans are trying to suppress the vote, no, they are not. go back to joe biden's inauguration, the common theme, joe biden would bring the country back to normalcy through

truth and transparency. he's never been truthful, after doing research for the book. now he is incompetent and too eeled for the job and many people think this will be a bad night for democrats. >> todd: he flew 17,000 miles with xi, no he didn't. president biden seems to be avoiding the traditional press conference. watch this interaction from jacqui heinrich. >> why not commit to holding the post-midterm comment? >> you will hear from the president, he enjoys taking your questions, so i'm sure he will take your questions issue as well. i'm not going to get ahead of

it. >> todd: white house correspondence association, a long quote, there is precedent here, the white house failed to commit to traditional post midterm press conference and they are not happy about it. is that a tipoff he is not running for re-election? >> joe: it is a big announcement, where does the joe biden presidency go from here? he will not be able to do anything in terms of big spending items. joe biden had three solo press conferences this year, donald trump in his final year had 35. so that is i think 12 times as many or close to that, pretty good at math. this president does not take questions because he has no good answers on inflation, border, crime, etcetera. >> carley: when we aired some, it was unique to see him, it is rare to see him in front of all

those people, not something the white house had him do. thank you for joining us on this big day. joke going to be a slow day. >> carley: what are we going to talk about today? incumbents are in close races, including wisconsin, senator ron johnson facing mandela barnes. >> todd: and having breakfast at gorsky's in the town of moseni, i think i got that right. >> moseni, wisconsin, people are already streaming in, it is 4:30 in the morning, quite early. i even saw a baby coming in this morning, we'll talk to the good people and find out what is on their mind as they go to vote hopefully and they'll be voting not just on the senate race, important governor's race, an ag race, might have an ag candidate

come by, as well, exciting day in wisconsin. it is cold, but everyone is excited to vote. >> todd: the governor's race, a lot of focus on the senate race there, do you think the republican in that race has a chance? >> rachel: absolutely, that race is going to be tight. it hasn't been talked a lot about, it is a tight race, a lot of things are on the line, not just democrat policies affecting the economy and inflation, this could be referendum on how the covid policies were handled by the governor while he was here and people have not forgotten what happened in kenosha and the way governor evers handled that, crime always an issue. >> todd: don't sleep on covid not being a factor, it could be. thank you00 >> rachel: one thing, todd, this town, first town to get rid of

mask mandate, that is an issue. >> todd: great show, will there be a new party in control of congress by this time tomorrow? >> carley: very good question, our power panel isir shaking predictions, virginia lieutenant governor winsome sears, mike huckabee are all here next.

>> carley: polls are officially

open in vermont marking official start of what is poised to be a mount umental election day, 35 senate seats and all 435 house seats are up for grabs, all eyes on the key battleground states. senate race in wisconsin, new hampshire, georgia, pennsylvania and arizona could decide which party takes control of the chamber. republicans across the country hope today's election serve as referendum on the biden administration's failing policies. >> all i'm calling for is secure border and can we fund the police. democrats in charge failed so badly for the last 20 months. >> voters tell me the same story, the economy is destroying their lives, they are unable to make a safe community to send their kids into. >> it is status quo, get ready for the misery index to get

higher and we can go fix this mess. >> todd: in the house, democrats facing stiff challenges from strong gop candidate, vega in a tight race against spamburger, vega hoping to do what governor glenn youngkin did and win on the back of promise to fight for parent rights. >> my opponent voted against requiring parental consent when it comes to gender ideology and identification, parents will flood the polls today, we've had enough of the madness. >> todd: 34 million americans have already cast their votes. bring in former governor, huckabee, david webb and virginia lu -- governor winsome

sears. we should see the initial wave of results from eastern states, control of the house may be decided as early as 10 to 11 p.m., some house races may take longer to call. control of the senate may not be decided until december 6 if a runoff is needed in georgia. governor huckabee, do you think we will know who controls congress by the end of tonight? >> mike: i think we absolutely will, governorship, state legislature and the u.s. senate and it will be the republicans. democrats have not given any reason for peep toll go pull the lever for them, they haven't. if people care about crime, open border, economy, price of gasoline and groceries, if they truly care about believing their children are not going to be exposed to nuttiness in school like 57 genders and a kid who is seven or eight years old decides he's something he's not, people

will say, i've never voted for a republican before, i am going to today, these people on the other side, they have lost their minds. >> todd: david, mainstream media is telling people not to be fooled by this red mirage, in-person votes will be counted by end of the night but other mail-in ballots will take time to be counted. are they throwing hail mary pass and get more democrats out to vote? >> david: it is more than the media, this began two, maybe three weeks ago and we began to saw stories pop up, debates, last round of debates, lowering expectations, look at the fetterman and oz debate and you have cleverly crafted articles about why democrats are losing, not based on policy, but because the right is bad, whoever

happens to be on the right, republican or otherwise. they are crafting this, they want to delay it, i gray with the governor, huckabee and lieutenant governor, nice to see you, we will know tonight by latest tomorrow morning if there are late calls as you work your way across the country. democrats need a new narrative because this is the loss they hadn't counted on. >> todd: lieutenant governor sears, why can't all states be as efficient as florida and to a lesser degree, your state of virginia, people go to the polls, count results and you know on election night. why can't the other states do that? >> i don't know, i think they will catch up, new york for example, just started early voting in 2019 and i think because of this early voting, we are going to know exactly when we've won and by the way, we do expect all the republican governors that we think will

come in, we know that in virginia, we are going to turn the tide, we know that we are going to win and what you are seeing is the democrats starting to do damage control. why is that? because they have gone so far left they have damaged their brand, they have allowed progressives as they miscall themselves to pull them all the way and the people are saying that is not who we are, which is a term the democrats like to call themselves, that is not who we are. parents need to be in control. we are not going to take it anymore. >> todd: you heard it here first, all three members of the power panel say we will know the results by the end of the night. we'll bring you back before the end of the show, stick around. more election day reaction from eric trump in a few minutes. >> carley: he'll talk about his father's possible 2024 run, so much more, don't go anywhere.

could be delayed in pivotal pennsylvania, where senate candidate john fetterman is suing election officials demanding undated absentee ballots be counted, he is claiming the date imposes

unnecessary hurdles eligible pennsylvania citizens must cover. >> todd: philadelphia officials vote on reinstating the time consuming reconciliation, that sounds complicated, it could take totally up the vote. >> carley: bring in pete hegseth, he is in warmster, pennsylvania, pete, you had former president and current president and you will be with diners hashing it all out. >> pete: that is right. pennsylvania is toss-ups of clear toss-ups, .1% difference between fetterman and oz, balance of senate goes through pennsylvania, philadelphia and pittsburgh and bucks county,

where wree are at eagle diner in warmenster. it is early, guys, i see the election day blood moon, red because of things to come in pennsylvania? we don't know, we'll be talking to diners about issues that matter to them as they go to the polls and you are exactly right, we may not know the outcome in pennsylvania right away and there could be a runoff in georgia. on election night, we may not know. there has been former presidents here, current presidents here, now it only matters who is voting and who they vote for and get the pulse of the people on breakfast with friends. >> todd: pete hegseth, thank you, we appreciate it. >> maga republicans do not respect the constitution, republican party today dominated, driven and intimidated by donald trump and the maga republicans.

folks, this ain't your father's republican party, this is a different breed of cat. will law prevail or allow dark forces to thirst for power? >> todd: president biden trashing republicans instead of tackling issues that matter most. democrats hope this election is not a referendum on joe biden. eric trump is vice president of the donald trump yoergz, welcome to the program. this will be a referendum on joe biden, what is your prediction? what does the map look like by end of tonight? >> better be good, otherwise, i think we lost our country. if a maga republican stands for freedom of religion, low unemployment, strongest military, loving the american flag, being able to live the

american dream, not having wars all over the world, getting american soldiers out of war zone and not having constant conflict, being respected by the world, taking on china, north korea, i guess i'm a maga republican, my father did a phenomenal job and look at every accomplishment he had get flushed down the drain by incompetent leadership. my father fought for this nation, he woke up everyday and loved this country and put america first. seems like these guys do the opposite and that is why you see the problems of the world and i think people will vote, you have awful border, terrible economy, rampant inflation, horrible gas prices, these are hitting people and you will see that today. >> todd: do you think republicans take the senate? >> i do, people need to get out and vote. i hate saying that, it sounds

cliche, it is who shows up today, people have to get out and vote. our supreme court is number one, why you need to go out and make sure the senators win. >> todd: you know once 2022 is done, speculation begins to 2024, who knows, that could be by wednesday. the big question, former president trump, your dad, is he about to launch a presidential run in 2024? >> the real story, i'll let him announce what he wants to announce. i've never been more proud of the man, you will never find a greater president, he did a phenomenal job for this country and this nation. the entire world, we know people all over the world and they miss the leadership of the united states right now, there is major, major vacuum and i'm telling you, i'll be first person if he decides to make that announcement, by his side on the stage, i will work tirelessly, our entire family

will. we need to take back this country. it is a mess what is happening right now. >> todd: you live in florida, your father recently, not attacked, colorful nickname for governor desantis, does he think this could be his toughest primary challenger? >> my father went out and was campaigning for desantis in miami, he campaigned for marco rubio and my father got desantis elected, no question about that. desantis credited him many times with that, he was relatively a no name and built a great reputation over that period of time. same time, you have a lot of people who want to split it is maga vote, rhino republicans, a lot of people will try to split the maga vote, who are afraid of my father, may not like him, jeb bush, paul ryan's and many others. you will see the games play out for a very long time, they want to pit two powerful republicans

against one another, it is part of their game. they are certainly going to try to split the vote, it is something the party has to be careful of. >> todd: another big issue in the midterm season, all about the economy, crime. but it is about the investigation, republicans could potentially undergo if they take over the house and take overthe senate. hunter biden former business partner bobulinski ready to testify before a house panel investigating biden corruption, do you think we will really know what happened? >> well, we should. todd, i've investigated every single day of the last six years, so head don, yifrng yifrng, entire family, hundreds of subpoenas, i'm probably the most subpoenaed person in the country, trying to find anything they could to take on our

family, go after us and destroy us and we've lived incredibly clean lives and thank god we have. we have guy who did illegal things and illegal drugs, prostitution, illegal foreign deals all over the world, taking money out of every single country while his father was vice president, all on a laptop publicly disclosed. whistleblowers are trying to talk to the fbi and no one is listening, the scales are one sided. if you're a democrats, you can get away with murder, if you're a republican, they try to take you down and out and we've lived that as a family, we have more arrows in us than anybody from the games. i'm not into just investigation for the sake of investigation, you look at what was on the laptop, todd, it is insane and look at the cover-ups and look at the facebook cover-up and twitter cover-up, it has to

stop. it has to stop. there has to be equal justice under the laws and we don't have that anymore and that is really decisive factor for today, frankly, i think people are seeing a justice system being weaponized everyday an illegal system frankly no longer just. >> todd: the hill says the oversight committee, set to lead the probe if the gop formally takes control, are planning a press conference about the investigation into the bidens, the week after the election, so eric, at the end of the day, will anyone ultimately be held accountable? >> if we have a proper system, they should be. the evidence is, the pictures are there, what more do you need to see? the e-mails are there. we got out of business when my father got into politics. the bidens got into business

when he became president. his son is flying to countries for massive payments and it is wrong. >> todd: busy night, week and month, we appreciate your time kicking us off. >> carley: final thoughts on today's biggest races and possible upsets from the political power panel, don't go anywhere. ♪limu emu & doug♪ it's nice to unwind after a long week of telling people how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. showtime. whoo! i'm on fire tonight.

>> carley: polls are opening in seven more states just minutes from now as the left-leaning think tank warns democrats they are under water on issues voters name as highest priority including the economy, immigration and crime. they are perceived as distant from the electorate ideologically and voters question whether the party shares essential values by patriotism and the importance of hard work. our political power panel is back. former arkansas governor like

hub befox news contributor david webb and winsome sears. good morning to you all. governor, what do you think about that? democrats have spent for thatly $450 million on ads about abortion when economy is the number one issue. do you think that's going to to prove to be costly mistake? >> absolutely. they have been going so far left, as i said, if the earth were flat they would fall off. they are the ones who accused of us of flat earthers no new ideas. at the end of the day, the folks just want to be left alone. you have your own little piece of grass, you pay your mortgage and your rent and that's it. leave me alone. let me raise my children. don't tell them they are girls when they are not. don't make policies that are against my family. i want to be able to go to the grocery store and pay bills and do all that just leave us alone that's what we want. that's why you see so many

people coming across the border. it's about freedom. it's about liberty. it's about being able to achieve the american dream which my father was able to do when he came to america with only 1.75. these democrats, these progressives want to burn down the house. we're not going to let them do it. >> carley: governor huckabee what do you think about that comment the president made about shutting down coal mines across the country, do you think that he inadvertently hurt john fetterman. >> i think he hurt every democrat when he said that look, people realize whether they pay their gasoline bills to fill up their car or heat their homes that things are really tough on them. here is joe biden out there basically declaring war on the energy industry. we were energy independent when he came into office. now he is over there with the five gallon gas can begging the saudis or anybody who will fill it up so he can bring it back and maybe have some political benefit of doing it can this is
