♪ and i'm proud to be an american where at least i know i'm free ♪ ♪ and i won't forget the men who died and gave that right to me. ♪ and i'd gladly stand up -- neil: pox on top of the battle to -- fox on top of the battle to control congress, democrats now one seat closer to maintaining their senate majority after democrat mark kelly keeps his seat in arizona. now, that leaves georgia and nevada as must wins for republicans. they need both. we'll be live in the remaining key states tracking all of in this morning in nevada where the vote counting is still shaking out, in georgia where the runoff money is still pouring in and in arizona where the governorship could be decided soon, maybe as soon as today.

welcome, everybody, i'm neil cavuto. happy weekend to you, and a busy one. who knew we would still be going through the countying and the uncertainty -- counting and the uncertainty. want to go to nevada where they're going through that ballot count, but it is an arduous process, and doesn't jonathan hunt know it. he's in las vegas with the latest. hey, jonathan. >> reporter: good morning to you, neil. all eyes now on nevada with the arizona senate race decided. this state could decide the balance of power in the senate because we're likely to get the results long before georgia ever gets around to that runoff. so as it stands right now, democratic incumbent senator catherine cortez masto is marginally, and i mean marginally, behind her republican challenger, adam laxalt, less than 1,000 votes, and there are still tens of thousands out there to be counted. we're expecting, for instance, something like 23,000 to be sent

our way from here in clark county, by far the most populace state in nevada, later today. and that may well decide who is the winner. there is a chance as they continue to count that they will have to wait for so-called cured ballots, those with mismatched signatures or other issues, for instance, and provisional ballots to be cleared next week, but we could know by the end of today. if not, we'll go to those cured ballots. the registrar here talked about that process just yesterday. listen here. >> staff has been diligently working going through those to determine which ones are eligible to be counted next week. after we get our report from the secretary of state with all 17 counties listed there so that we can identify anything that was done illegally. >> reporter: now, there's some good news for republicans here in nevada. sheriff joe bomb largo concern

lombardo, the republican candidate, has ousted incumbent democrat governor steve sis lack, and that is the only governorship in the country, as we understand it, to be flipped by republicans this election cycle. so that is good news. they desperately hope that they can repeat that kind of result in the senate race, but you have to say when you look where the votes are now coming from, most of them from heavily democratic clark county here with vegas at its heart now, it doesn't look good for adam laxalt, the republican, at the moment, although he still says he's confident of victory. neil. neil: so in clark county with these 25,000 or so votes waiting to be counted and, as you said, a heavily democratic area, are there any more coming from republican areas that could offer laxalt hope? >> yeah, there are some. up in washo county, for

instance, there are still some numbers to be given to us from there. that's more of a purple county, if you like. so adam laxalt would expect to be closer at least to catherine cortez masto, and then his main hope really, neil, are the more rural counties where he has been winning, frankly, by a landslide in almost every one of those. now, if he can get -- if there are enough votes outstanding, and the point is we don't know exactly how many are still to come from those rural counties, then his clinging- to optimism may be justified. he's going to be dependent on those rural, red counties, neil. neil: got it, my friend. jonathan hunt with the latest in las vegas. any of these numbers come through, we'll share them with you. just a reminder, for republicans they've got to take the next two as yet undecided states. it can't be a split. they've got to win them both. and that would be, of course, at this point picking up nevada and georgia. georgia, of course, as you know,

is going to, you know, a follow-up election that will be decided on the 6th of december. so, again, the winner of that won't be determined for upwards of close to a month. so again, if we see a nevada pick-up on the part of democrats, it is over. they've maintained control of the united states senate. it is looking increasingly, by the way, that republicans will, in fact, take the house of representatives. final numbers could be there momentarily, maybe in this show. in the meantime, want to take you to arizona where the counting goes on as well. we told you about senator kelly, of course, closing the deal there, but there are other races to be decided. alicia acuna on the latest there. >> reporter: good morning, neil. after multiple news entities including fox projected incumbent senator mark kelly will beat blake masters, the candidates for governor hit twitter. we'll begin with republican kari lake tweeting: they want you to be the demoralizeed. there is no reason to be.

our path lies in the overwhelming red votes that maricopa county either hasn't counted or has deliberately chosen not to release. hold the line. from democrat katie hobbs, as we await outstanding ballot, i remain confident in the will of arizona votest and am grateful to the officials diligently working to make sure every vote is properly counted. hobbs leads lake by about 31,000 votes. left to count, more than 370,000 statewide and more than 274,000 of those are in maricopa county. in a news conference, maricopa county elections officials who are lifelong republicans once again detailed the law passed by the republican legislature that, in part, led to this long wait. and similar timelines in past elections which allows for mail-in ballots to be walked in on election day. this year it was a record amount. and when you add that to the close margins in these races, it makes the spotlight burn even

brighter. >> i am going to stand up for my state. maybe not everyone here is, but i am. we're doing things the right way. and i appreciate that you're all here, but we're not doing anything wrong at all. and that someone from here would suggest that we are doing something wrong, that's frustrating. >> reporter: last night senator kelly tweeted this photo writing, thank you, arizona. the white house says president biden placed a congratulatory call to kelly last night and, neil, we are expecting more results coming in from other counties this afternoon. this evening we should get a pretty big chunk from maricopa county. neil? neil: alicia, i just want to know if you got that con toe in arizona behind you -- condo. >> reporter: i did. it is sweet. no, it's nice. you're going to have to come to the house warming party. it's going to be awesome. neil: got it. i'll bring the proif shoe toe and pepperoni. thank you very much.

[laughter] where do we stand right now on all of this? nevada and georgia, comes down to those two states, and republicans have to pick them both up or they're still in the minority in the senate. but it is going to be a pick hutch in the house -- pick-up in the house. maybe we'll learn later on today that they hit and crossed the 218 seats that they will need to control that body. maybe increase the skids for kevin mccarthy to take over the leadership in the house. sarah westwood with the washington examiner, also mark penn, democratic pollster, helped the clintons in a big way. mark, let me go to you and get your sense of what it would mean, if you think about it, we're kind of back to where we thought be a month ago before talk of this surge. i know you had some doubts about that, but we're back kind of to republicans have the house, democrats might hang on to the

senate. but it is still divided government, and i know as a market geek here, markets love that, and he were racing ahead on that and other -- and they were racing ahead on that and other issues. how do you think it sorts out, and are we getting back to where we thought we'd be? >> well, yes. i mean, we really thought maybe in the end when polls were rolling up that republicans would take more seats and have have a more comfortable majority, but this is going to be difficult governing situation for just about a everybody, right? if joe biden is a disliked president and the question is can he run, if mccarthy's going to have some challenges because he's just going to get across the finish line here, and he's not sure that he can hold his caucus completely together. the senate and the democrats, they've had, you know, a couple people who have broken off,s and they'll retain their power and authority, maybe just manchin

alone. we don't know what'll happen in georgia. so this is a really complex situation for people to come together and govern. i think we're really going to get a lot less governing and a lot more politicking into 2024. neil: you know, sarah, to that point we'll have as tight of a contest between republicans and democrats in the senate, you know, continue what we've got now. but there is the possibility, and mark just mentioned, you know, joe manchin. he's been at loggerheads with the president particularly on the no more coal thing, feels the president abandoned him. do you think there's any possibility that a manchin, that a kyrsten sinema, some of these others, a lot of even progressive democrats say are democrats in name only would jump and would jump to the republican side? >> well, i certainly think that in 2024 it's a really difficult and even more difficult senate map for democrats. and so a lot of those democrats

in red states, jon tester in montana, for example, different senators who are going to be in cycle soon are going to be even less willing to be cooperative with joe biden for the next two years, as mark mentioned. there are a lot of incentives for those democrats who are going to be facing an even tougher environment in 2024 to work with joe biden when he is right now kind of a lame duck president until he really announces that he's actually going to run. we don't have any real reason to be focused on legislating when it looks like republicans are going to be coming -- controlling the house. they have no incentive to help biden with his legislative agenda. i do think you are going to see vulnerable democrats that are going to be once again potentially on the chopping block in 2024, they are going to be watching out for themselves heading into an even tougher environment in 2024. neil: you know, i wonder though in this environment, mark, a lot of those democrats feel emboldened. they thought they were in

danger, they thought they were going to be gone, and a lot of them lived to fight another day. i'm not, you know, very good at forecasting where we'll be in a couple of years, but do you think now that they're more okay than they would have been with joe biden being their standard bearer in 0 -- 2024? >> well, it didn't, the results here don't move the party back to the center. because what really happened in the last kind of cycles here is that, in effect, when the party got too far left, eventually bill clinton came along and moved it back to the center because they were losing 49 states. but now that's not happening. and so the left, i think, is going to continue about to have a strong position in the party, be emboldened, have less power in this government, but it says that the 2024 nominee, you know, may be more to the left because i think they're going to retain a lot of power in the party with results like this. neil: so no pivoting.

is that your sense as well when you look at this, very little prospect for pivoting? >> me? >> yeah. >> i do think that democrats could learn the wrong lessons here, right? they could take away from in that parts of their agenda that they thought were unpopular are actually embraced by the american people. i don't know if that's what the results say here. i don't know if the democrats necessarily won broadly speaking as much as republicans lost. so it is possible that democrats interpret these results as a whole hearted endorsement of every element of their agenda when i do think there's frustration a with the direction of the democratic party. they just perceived as republicans being even more extreme than democrats in a lot of these key rates -- races. that doesn't necessarily mean they support the democratic agenda. neil: guys, thank you both. we'll see how it sorts out. in the meantime, the president's border chief was just given an ultimatum, quit or we'll make you quit. i think that says quit or we'll

fire you. well, he's not quitting. he wants to stick around. i wonder what henry cuellar thinks of all of that? we thought we'd ask him. he's next. ing i learned being a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody. ♪ ♪ at lowe's, you'll find products from veteran-owned businesses all throughout our store. 26,000 veterans and military spouses work here. and our no annual limit discount program

>> we agree that there's a crisis that needs to be addressed, but it needs to be addressed by congress. the president doesn't have the authority to address this and, frankly, it's congress' job to address it. neil: all right. a texas judge agreed and, essentially, the president's $400 billion student relief program is now blocked and, some say, dead on arrival. but not if the justice department has anything to do about it, opposing this and the judge's theory -- not a theory. the judge has something based on the constitution, that money matters must be decided by congress. let's go to the constitutional law attorney, katie schakowsky

on this. who's right on this? >> this is a very interesting analysis from the judge in texas and, basically, it was a straightforward constitutional separation of powers analysis, and the judge made a very specific point to say that the ruling saying this plan, the student loan forgiveness plan was not constitutional, was based solely on separation of powers requirements and not about the public policy or the propriety of this. and i think that is a pretty strong argument. the biden administration atenting to use legislation and -- attempting to use legislation even though congress at the time had not thosed it -- authorized it could be interpreted to extend that. and that is a big end separation of powers question in my mind, and i think the judge was very clear about why there was a significant concern about expending that statute to something that did not seem to be contemplated at the time it was enacted by congress.

neil: i'm not a lawyer, you're a good one, but i've watched a lot of law shows growing up, so i think i qualify as an expert. and the one thing that i found odd about this, in fact, you and i were kind of kidding about it, at least i was, that the administration might have known full well that it was on slippery constitutional ground, but this send a signal to his base, it'd be very beneficial, probably a lot of ticked-off students and some 20 million odd parents, and although they might be a little annoyed now that this isn't going to come or for the time being not going to come to pass, but that was already baked into the cake. what do you think? >> i think that's right. i think that most bornes -- attorneys would agree that it is a stretch to creatively suggest that this statute that the biden administration is using to essentially forgive student loan department is being extended to -- debt is being extended with a significant amount of money that's being expended if it were to be allowed to be interpreted this way. the judge in texas even said

this would be the most expansive usurpation of legislative authority by thingtive branch if it were -- by the executive branch because it's the sheer dollar figure is beyond anything that could be contemplated by interpreting a statute that at the time never thought this would be a use of it, and suddenly that's the interpretation of it. so i think you're right. i think that the doj and the administration knew this was a very tenuous argument but wanted to fulfill that campaign promise in some way. neil: yeah. it worked in that sense. katie, thank you. always good seeing you, my friend. well, you know that lee zeldin narrowly lost out becoming the first republican to be elected governor of new york, but he was very instrumental and maybe given the backdrop of crime and the economy in seeing four or five, well, blue seats turn red in the empire state. i want you to meet the republican who probably butte down the biggest of all

♪ neil: all right, a close contest, everyone focusing on the senate and which way that's going to go, tight as a tick as we like to say here. but the balance of power in the house, which most had expected republicans to take just not by the margin that we thought they would. you need 218 seats to control that particularly puppy, and republicans are getting very, very close. the latest on where things stand with alexandria hoff. >> reporter: hi, neil. republicans have secured 211 seats, so to win that majority, they just need 7 more. but there's still about 2 dozen

outstanding congressional races across the country and more than half of them in california where millions of ballots are still uncounted. it could go either way in the state's 47th district where progressive rep katie porter is locked in a dead heat with her republican challenger. this district is in orange county where there's equal share republicans and democrats. but if you look east of los angeles, you'll find the 41st district and ken calbert who is the longest serving member in his party's delegation, he only holds a 1-point advantage over democrat will rollins, only half of the votes there counted so far. and in colorado's 3rd district, there's a big name with potentially a big problem. lauren boebert is locked in a razor thin race with adam frisch. bow bert got a small boost as the continues continues. -- counting continues. while republicans are poised to achieve least throe 7 seats

needed, it will not be by the margins they had hoped for. neil? neil: all right, alex, thank you very much for that. well, you know, there were some big stories and bold-faced names in the democratic party that went tumbling town to defeat, perhaps no bigger than sean patrick mahoney. of course, the democratic national campaign committee chair. as big as you get. and if you're going to topple a giant, that's the kind of guy you want to topple. he wasn't happy, and he had an interesting setup as to who to blame. take a look. >> when you've got open seats and the governor's losing by double digit, or candidate's -- our candidate's got to outperform the governor by more than 10 points, often more than 15 points, that's a lot to ask. neil: all right. that was congressman maloney's view. the guy who beat him is with us right now, congressman-elect, are you getting used to people calling you that? [laughter] >> yeah.

it's, it's been a long 72 the-plus hours, but we're enjoying the victory. neil: now, it's interesting that your opponent had said his own party, particularly maybe the progressive wing of that party, by extension alexandria ocasio-cortez and others, didn't do enough to help him. what did you think of that? >> well, i think that's a lot of sour grapes. i mean, with all due respect to sean, you know, he was the one who sent the memo back in january of this year demanding that state democrats gerrymander new york's congressional maps, and and they kid. and they did. and, ultimately, those maps were thrown out in court and ruled unconstitutional, and we got a fair set of maps which is why new york republicans flipped four seats, and we're going to have a total of eleven members going down to washington. on top of that, you know, my opponent was gallivanting around the globe. i mean, he went to paris and

geneva and london just as recently as a month ago to go raise money for nancy pelosi while i was out campaigning every day for six months doing six, seven, eight events a day talking directly to voters. it wasn't until the final three weeks of the campaign that he woke up and realized he was in danger of losing, and he called in bill clinton, hillary clinton, joe biden, jill biden, and they all tried to save him, and it didn't work. so, i mean, the governor certainly, you know, has been a disaster on a number of fronts including on public safety and, certainly, that kid not help. but at the end of the day, sean maloney and democrats have nobody to blame but themselves for their epic loss in new york state on tuesday. neil: you know, you are among the few -- i'm not taking anything away from republicans likely recapturing the house, but by, you know, the thinnests of margins, and a lot of people in your party, sir, are blaming

donald trump. i want you to react to this, some prominent democrats with whom i've been chatting who are frustrated. does that apply within the republican party, lieutenant governor, to donald trump, that it's time to step off the stage? >> yes. a house divided against itself cannot stand. >> i think there's a lot of interest on our side of other folks besides former president trump to run. >> i think he should go away. i think we have a tremendous opportunity going forward. donald trump should not be a part of that. >> do you see a lot of people saying, gee, i can't wait to be arm many arm with former president trump going forward after the results we had yesterday? i just, i can't imagine that. neil: what do you think, congressman-elect? >> well, listen, i think there's a number of factors in why we didn't pick up as many seats as were anticipated. candidate recruitment certainly

matters. you have to be able to talk to the issues that matter to voters across the political spectrum. i think we've gotten so bogged down in just talking to our base and talking to those that agree with us, you know? i flipped this seat which has 70,000 more democrats than republicans. i did it by going into every community, talking to every voter regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, religion or political views. and i think as a party we need to be focused on how we address the challenges that we're facing. there's a lot of rising stars in the party, a lot of new voices that have, that have come into play over the last couple years and, you know, i certainly think as we move forward we've got to be focused on future. i'm really not interested in relitigating the past. i think of we have to address the challenges the american people are facing and put forth a a positive agenda that -- neil: so what you seem to be saying, i'll just cut to the

chase, sir, you think that donald trump is part of the past, relitigating the past, and he would not be wise to make an announcement as he's scheduled for next week that he's going to run for president again. >> well, the former president is going to decide, ultimately, what he's going to do, and nobody's going to tell him otherwise. neil: sure. >> i think if he's going to run, he really needs to be focused on the future and what he will do to address the challenges that we're facing. i think relitigating the 2020 election or any other grievances really does not serve him well, the party well or the country well. so my focus is getting to work january 3rd and addressing the challenges that we're facing. obviously, the politics of 2024 will play itself out in the weeks and months ahead. neil: all right. >> but my focus and i think the focus of the party should be on how we move forward and address the challenges that we're facing. neil: got it.

congressman-elect, congratulations again. we'd like you to keep us updated on how things are going as you move to washington. in the meantime here, the president isn't pivoting when it comes to the environment regardless of the political climate. he is still talking up the general climate. what to make of that after this. >> we're proving a good climate policy is good economic policy. .

>> the united states congress passed and i signed into law my proposal for the biggest, most important climate bill in the history of our country. the inflation reduction act concern. [applause] we're proving that good climate policy is good economic policy. neil: well, it might be, but in this political climate it was nowhere on anyone's list of top five concerns, even top ten concerns in the latest midterms. the clearest sign yet that the president is moving on from that, if you're expecting him to pivot to some of the issues that maybe you or other vote earth are concerned about, he doesn't feel the neat. and we've heard -- the need x. we've heard from other democrats they don't feel the need either. what does all of this mean? peter doocy traveling with the president now in cambodia. peter? >> reporter: and, neil, you see there's a curves in the way the president talks to -- a difference in the way the president talks to voters ahead of the midterms and and the way

that the president talks to fellow world leaders after the midterm elections. and listening to his remarks since he's been overseas with us, you'd never know there were problems with high gas prices back at home. in fact, you would never know there are many gas-powered vehicles on the road at all because he's been boasting abroad about u.s. electric vehicle infrastructure back home. >> through our new u.s.-iowa sean -- asean initiative, we're going to work to develop an electric vehicle ecosystem in asia -- [inaudible] to pursue clean energy development and ambitious emission reduction targets. >> reporter: and so there, president biden is pledging to meet ambitious emissions reductions goals within the next seven and a half years, by 2030. and that has some republicans back home scratching their heads like louisiana's garrett graves who is saying the target here

we're trying to attack is the emissions -- that we're trying to attack is emissions, is not the energy source. and i think that our research and development needs to be focused on the types of energy resources the country has, and in the united states one of those is oil and gas, 30 times the energy density of the next closest renewable. so far this trip hasn't had any major hiccups, although the president has now mixed up the host country's name twice. >> i want to thank the prime minister of, for colombia's leadership as asean chair and for hosting all of us. anyway, you guys, i'm heading down to, first of all, going to cairo for the environmental effort, then heading over to colombia and then -- i mean, cambodia. thinking this is ben hem -- the western hemisphere. >> reporter: it is cambodia. and it's been a long week for the president already with the

elections and there is no break inside. from here he's heading to the g20 with a big meeting on monday with china's xi. neil in. neil: peter, thank you. peter doocy in cambodia with the president. all right, christian whiton was listening to all of this, of course, former state department official. it's one thing to forget country names and all that, i sometimes forget my own, but -- [laughter] leaving that aside, what do you make of the president's, you know, business as usual, back to climate change, back to these environmental issues? i'm not taking anything away from the environment, its importance and all of that, but after this election and after americans, you know, were clearly making their pitch to deal with the economy where it's democrats -- whether it's democrats or republicans, it just seems out of step. >> it is. it's weird, and it just sort of reaffirms that beyond caring about the environment, this is sort of like a civic religion for the global elite, this climate change alarmism.

and it's not just our president who went along with a large number of administration officials to egypt for the cop27, officials from across europe went where they are in an outright energy crisis, and all of these people seem completely undauted -- undaunted, completely unfazed. here in the united states we're still more than a million barrels a day below the peak production which fell in 2019. what in this sort of admiration, adulation of climate change concern is actually going to conceivably cut energy prices for anyone which really ought to be a goal of policy in and you're just not seeing that from anyone. neil: you know, christian, you and i talk about this a lot, this idea that don't favor one over the other. but even in germany they're going increasingly nuclear and, heaven forbid, fossil fuels. france looking at doing the same, italy concern my people, by the way, all in on all of

that. and the only reason why i mention it is that even among countries that are much more progressive on this issue than even the president, they're bowing to the reality that the residents are paying through the nose. utility bills in brain alone that have doubled in just the past year, and they're not getting any better. so recognizing just the reality before you would think pivot. >> right. and as you point out, europe has sort of gotten some religion because of the crisis this year. france has always been strong on nuclear industry,,s germany, as you mentioned, was going to close the last of its nuclear plants which have years, maybe decades of life left on their lifetime, and they're actually now thinking about prolonging that a somewhatment if you go back to the to the united states though, look, new england is going to have a crisis this winter with the amount they're paying for natural gas and fuel if oil. we actually have plenty of natural gas in the united states, it's just you need a pipeline to get it from the midwest to new england, and you

can't do that. there's just this allergy among progressive politicians to pipelines. so they're going to be buying more expensive natural gas from abroad and paying through the nose for fuel oil, which is basically diesel. neil: you know, christian, the big meeting, of course, is with xi jinping of china on monday. this will be the first chance for the president to, you know, directly talk about these provocative of actions that china's taken in the south china sea. it's sort of turning the other cheek when north korea keeps threatening in the region as well, its support of russia in ukraine. so it could be an eventful meeting. do you think anything comes of it? >> i think it's unlikely. it's the first actual in-person meeting between xi jinping and president biden. xi, in particular, has been hesitant to travel abroad during the covid crisis which continues in china. lockdowns continue on a daily basis. the biden administration previewed what it's going to discuss with xi and sort of

focused on north korea saying additional north korean provocations -- and, of course, north korea's backed up by chinr ballistic missile or nuclear test is going to bring an enhanced u.s. presence to the western pacific, but that rings hollow e to the chinese because the obama-biden administration talked about a pivot to asia and a rebalancing to asia after the failure in afghanistan, biden said, well, this'll give us a chance to focus on china and asia. if you look at the u.s. military posture or our economic posture in that region, it actually is less than it has been in previous years, it continues to atrophy. biden's going to press the chinese on russia, but they look at that as, wait, you want us to beat up on the russians so basically you can turn your attention from rush sho to china. another not likely to produce a lot -- it's not likely to produce a lot of concrete outcomes. neil: we're more interested in

♪ neil: all right, good thing i listen to people like rick reichmuth when they talk about storms and everything else. rec was reminding us -- rick was reminding us technically the hurricane season goes until the end of month, and nicole just proved it. hitting much of the east coast with heavy torrential rains. it came in to florida as a category one storm but not too long after ian, a much more

devastating storm on the other side of the sunshine state. nevertheless, reminders, all, that this can still be a problem, and we've till got a couple of weeks to go. rick, good to see you again. what are we looking at here, and what are the remnants of nicole looking like? >> reporter: almost completely done, which is great news. daytona with all of that wreckage along the coast, they got a lot of damage from hurricane ian even though the bulk of the damage was across the southwest coast of florida. unfortunately, daytona beach getting a second real blast from the tropics. nothing else that we're watching from development at this point. technically, as you said, hurricane season goes through the end of november. however, we have seen tropical development every month of the year. it can happen, it just is rare for it to get close to the u.s. at this point because the waters start to get a little bit warmer, and that's why we don't see is it as much. here you go, we are now in the last two weeks. i don't think we will see any more activity because there is a

big cold front that's about to sweep through even parts of florida. 17 degrees right now in fargo, 39 in new york. but look at new york, 68 degrees, one last day today of really warm temperatures. we're going to break all kinds of records up and down the eastern seaboard, again, for temps into the 70s. but there is moisture and much kohler air coming on in. take -- colder air coming on in. that one tomorrow that's exiting, that is what was left of nicole. take a look at this -- this is what was nicole, about to be gone. we still have some heavy rain in maine, but in the next 3-4 hours, that'll be gone, and you'll see the sunshine come out. behind that a cold front, the first real snowflakes across parts of the lower ohio valley this morning. indianapolis, be very careful especially on bridges and overpasses, you might see accumulation. we're going to watch this area of energy pull off towards east, another batch of showers tonight and behind that the cold air

settles in and pretty much the entire country, neil, for the next 7-10 days is going to be looking at temps below average. it is going to be chilly. neil? neil: it is fall. thank you very much, rick reichmuth following those developments. meantime, we are following the pursuit of younger candidates for democrats and republicans alike. to be in your 40s is ideal. to be soon maybe 80 years old next week for the president of the united states, maybe not so ideal and maybe not just that president, a former president as well. getting on top of age, after this. ♪ i'm just a dead man walking --

♪ neil: all right, a lot of attention these days on age.

the president of the united states on november 20th will be 80 years old. he's already the oldest president in american history, but you think about some of the stars of either party including wes moore who at 44 was just elected governor of maryland. then, of course, you have, well, what's been going on in florida with ron desantis, also in his 40s. there seems to be a push on the part of both parties to err on the younger side but, again, things can change. let's get the read on all of this with susan crabtree. susan, when you look at this and you see what's happening, what does it tell you? >> back in 2019 i thought nobody want to see a straight fight between two septuagenarians. i thought that joe biden would be more of a scrapper because i covered him for two decades, and he was always a fighter. but that's not what we saw in 2019 and 2020.

he was, you know, but i do think because he was more of in the basement, he was sort of sleepy joe, but that was an anomaly because of covid. now i certainly don't think people want to see an octogenarian and an element octogenarian with biden and trump in a big street fight right now. i think people want more policy solutions, and they want a younger, a generational change. and, certainly, we see that in the polls. cbs/u-gov poll from september shows if there's one thing polarized nation can agree on, it's 73% of americans want a younger president and want age limits for elected officials, all elected officials. so at least there's that. only 23% said no. neil: i just get nervous when they want to apply that to tv news anchors, but for now -- [laughter] we're going to keep an eye on it.

susan is, i'm wondering whether the pressure within the president's own party is there, or has the midterm election bought him some time? what do you think? >> i think it's really a point of contention at the white house. i hear "the washington post" did a story the other day saying, you know, they're constantly track aring when he makes a gaffe. today it was cambodia and colombia, just a few continents off. but they're constantly keeping track of that because they're worried about it, but they don't have a big, large bench. they can't really just go to kamala harris because her approval ratings are lower than biden's. so i think that it's a concern, and we saw the other day during the press conference that biden was sort of toying with this idea of running again when a lot of people believed he would bow out. but it seems like he, to me, he was leaving the door open for leaving. for not running again. that's how i interpreted that

press conference, but he also said, watch me, you know? is. neil: interesting. we'll see, yeah. watch me and then hear my words. they're a little confusing. susan, thank you on all of that. mean while, the border parole chief or the border chief for the president was just asked by the president to quit or be fired. not in quite so many words there, but now a lot of people are wondering what's going to happen to the border after this. henry cuellar is concerned about it, one of the first to say to his own party, do something. that's next. ? i'm right here! i was busy cashbacking 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. ♪ ♪ ...
