11:03 pm
gonzalez. 13 action news political analyst john ralston joining us now to talk more about the red wave that didn't seem to stop until it reached nevada. so it's kind of a bittersweet night for democrats here in this state. >> i think harry reid really is the one having the bittersweet now, steve. he wanted to preserve the state for hillary clinton. that happened. wanted to preserve his senate seat for katherine cortez. still haven't gotten numbers from clark county in a long time. the races have both tightened up a bit. assembly looks like it'll go democratic. state senate has a decent chance to go democratic and two congressional seats that were republican looks like they're going democratic. blue wave hit nevada. that's not what happened to the rest of the country. >> what do you make of the polling numbers? only one that seems to have called this one would be
11:04 pm
tracking poll. that's the one the pollsters were calling the outliar. tonight we have this? >> to be blunt about it -- this has been true for awhile -- polling is garbage, steve. really is garbage. look at nevada. polling was no good. went the other way in nevada. trump was up here for a long time. looks like hillary clinton will win by two or three points at the end of it, but there's something wrong with the science of polling, it's been degenerating for years, steve, poll was rit culd by every -- ridiculed by every other polster in the country. it consistently showed something was happening that no one else saw. >> interesting thing that is happening nationally, ohio, donald trump won by nine points there. rob portman, republican senate candidate coasted to that victory. we saw other states. florida was close for the presidential race, marco rubio
11:05 pm
won that senate race easily in a state that flipped pretty much blue. >> for awhile, she was running ahead of hillary clinton here in nevada. they're pretty close right now, votes with 70,000 vote leads in clark county. new update from clark county. saw a whole bunch of votes out there. opposite as you pointed out of what happened in the rest of country. we thought nevada would help presidential race. we were irrelevant. there goes my #wematter. by the time it got here, the one blue mark didn't help the red that came across. >> we have to break away. get a quick nap. you've had a long day. get back to you in a few minutes. tricia? >> bittersweet night for nevada republicans celebrating a huge upset in the presidential race. didn't get enough down ballot support to get other republicans to capitol hill.

11:07 pm
we have a good president. >> kind of like a storm braug at sea like a hurricane, like hurricane trump was going to make landfall. about to make landfall. >> reporter: back out here live, these people will be glued to this tv until they get the results they want and the person in that presidency, of course that being donald trump. these people very excited. they've been here since 7:00. they've been glued to these tv's since 7:00. it's very excitin here at the republican watch party but to take a lack at what is going on over -- look at what is going on in the democratic watch party, let's turn it over to brian callahan. >> yeah, leslie, here mixed emotions is definitely the word. a lot of people in here shaking their heads seeing the numbers up on the board for trump and hillary clinton. a lot of the people in this room though celebrating the fact they were able to push and get
11:08 pm
being declared a winner with 48%46% margin right now overtrump. a lot of the candidates have taken the stage. congresswoman dina declaring victory on the stage. he'll work to serve all of nevada here but a lot of the their head not quite understanding what happened nationally when they were so able to get this blue wave here in nevada. a lot of them saying they have to take what they have with the state and try to build momentum there. reporting live at the aria, bryan callahan, 13 action news. >> thank you, bryan. senate numbers right now. we just touched base with the respective camps.

11:10 pm
control of the senate. as of right now at last check, 48-47. a lot on the line for the democrats right now. this is a last possible check balance on what could be a huge republican win tonight. for them, they're worried about obamacare, supreme court, direction of the country. a lot on the line for them. here unlike many other democratic watch parties across the country, mood is better in the state with the two house races going over to the democrats as well as catherine cortez-masto here. we're going to bring her speech to you live. we'll continue to watch to see exactly what happens here. let's take it out to chris. he's got more on what the heck folks are saying out there, chris?

red wave stops here in nevada. that doesn't matter to the folks here in the crowd. they're in a good mood. it looks like donald trump may be heading to the white house. that has the folks out here very happy. over on the senate side as you're hearing joe heck may not be as lucky. looks like catherine cortez-masto out to a lead here. heck and masto were locked in a bruising battle. republicans still will retain control of the house even though it appeared heck may b to masto. even though that's happening, heck losing to masto possibly, g.o.p. will -- i should say g.o.p. may also be in control of white house. folks here couldn't be happier. we're awaiting for joe heck to come down. we're told that could happen at any moment. when that does happen, we'll bring that to you. live at the south point, christopher king, 13 action news. >> this is breaking election news just into our newsroom from new york city, john podesta is

vote with comedian and known vote supporters tommy chung. coming into this election though both sides considered it to be a nail-biter pushing their cases hard. >> it'll be a commercial good. it'll benefit the entire valley to have taxes on this. benefit the economy overall. >> personally don't understand why or how having more drugs on the street is going to be better for any community. >> economy was a big selling point for supporters. they say millions will be raised in tax revenue that could go toward education in nevada. those another other side think the impact there is overstated. other point commonly disagreed upon is what legalizing will do to the black market for marijuana, whether this law will eliminate it. man of the hour at this cannabis shop was tommy chung. didn't stick around long enough to see question two pass. unsurprisingly had a lot to say about the issue. >> marijuana makes everybody smarter because scientifically
11:14 pm
brain. thc affects the brain. what it did -- and it enhances what's already there, by the way. >> much more to that interview when we have it all on our web site at ktnv.com. don't miss tommy chung's distinctive brand of humor. colorado is a state nevadans could look to when it comes to what happens when this law passes. in nevada, we can expect a similar waiting game as we see this all unfolds. david schuman 13 action news. >> stock markets aren't reacting well. futures on the dow plunged 750 points as donald trump's lead widened through the evening. nasdaq 100 futures off by 220 points. we're staying on top of all of your election night results. make sure to keep right here to 13 action news.

11:18 pm
here, the multi-colored fabric of nevada. the diversity here is our strength and i could see from our faces. that we are going to continue to be strong and continue to fight for our families, for our future here in nevada and across this country. now, you've all heard me talk about my story. i'm the great granddaughter of i've got a great grandfather who came to this country from italy and a grandfather who came from chihuahua, mexico. and like many of your stories, they came here for an opportunity to succeed, to work hard, so that they could provide a roof over their heads, food on the table for their kids and give their kids every

one of the top clinton people base -- a little while ago, john podesta, one of the top clinton people basically told the people to go home because the race will be going on for a long time tonight. the downballot issues here in nevada, let's talk about those. this is where the red wave stopped tonight and we just heard catherine-cortez masto giving her victory speech. that was a tough race. also house races that are certainly worth looking at tonight. >> the red wave barely stopped here. with the presidential race here in nevada, it'll be very close, maybe under two points when all is said and done. jackie rozen, danny tar kinian race for joe heck's seat is within 7,000 votes now. i think you'll get one more duck from clark county for the rest of the votes. i think it'll be much closer than it seemed at the beginning of the night.
11:21 pm
races that are close democrats are leading and assembly. democrats will take assembly. question is, how many seats. >> what do you make of just the -- how nevada seemed to withstand the national trend? what do you think was unique about nevada that made it different? because the final exit polling, donald trump, 29% of the hispanic vote nationally! >> it wasn't quite enough in nevada. he may have gotten that much here but i think were so great, democratic votes banked and early voting by democratic machine created by harry reid and hillary clinton campaign here was just enough, and i mean just enough. looked like she was going to win the state by five or six points. she'll end up winning like i said maybe by two or 1 1/2 points. >> you said the cushion has to be 9% going into tonight? >> they needed a big cushion. they got it in clark county.
11:22 pm
ballot lead for the democrats. they needed every one of those or most of them at least. >> thank you, john. >> you bet. >> tricia? >> let's take a look at a little weather important for tonight because it was so clear and clean. will it last? that's the question we're going to it answer pretty quickly here. 83 today. historical weather as well. 83 is the record. we tied the record from 1950. we knew we'd be flirting with records. we actually hit this one. 59. we should be 50. we should be we've not seen those numbers. -- 70-50. we've not seen those numbers. lack at the temperature trend past many days. 70 is where we should be. this is where we've been mostly 80's. numbers are just up there. they don't lie. coming back down. that's what is going to it happen. not bitterly cold numbers. certainly, temperatures are going to drop back into the 70's. middle 70's. that's a drop we can handle. relatively clear skies. calm winds right now. that should be the trend for tomorrow. tomorrow should be another 80-plus degree day across the
11:23 pm
not going to end just yet but soon thereafter. you know how that works out. overnight lows around 59. looking at a mild night. that'll be the trend before we start cooling things down a little bit. even when we do, once again, not getting back to normal. remember, we're feeling octoberish. remember how warm october was? october surprise. definitely getting it now. starting to feel temperatures more mild. by some cases 10 degrees warmer than our overnight low should be on average. we don't always get the averages. when we do, impressive stuff. 81 for sunny skies. above normal conditions. not looking at big wind. always love to show you the weakened first. let's take a little gander at it. looks nice. middle to it upper 70's. might throw cloud cover. might change things. might need a jacket late at night. not early evening. not early in the afternoon. big difference. right around 70. in many areas, that'll be the afternoon high. just hit 70 as the afternoon high which means if we're normal
11:24 pm
60's. not seeing that. if anything, most of the day in the 70's for the most part. carries through the weekend into early next week. 80's down to the middle 70's, back up to flirting with 80 degrees again. spectacular temperatures for november. back to you guys. >> thank you,. brian. we'll be right back. >> as we head to break, here's a look at more election results
11:27 pm

11:28 pm
arizona, massachusetts, maine. california voters approved it there. for medical marijuana, florida, arkansas, north dakota, montana, it passed in florida and arkansas as well as north dakota and it was leading in montana. colorado voters approved a proposition making it legal to help terminally ill patients end their own life becoming only the sixth state to pass a right to die law. >> thank you. we'll be right back with a final
11:30 pm
>> get aload of the seven-day forecast. i like the way looks. the hits keep coming. we'll see more of this. look at this middle to upper 70's. that's practical 80 when you're 78 degrees there. when we drop our temperatures, we only do it for a little bit. steady and warm pattern november. finished off october as the third warmest on record. we're on pace to be the warmest november on record. you can see that by the numbers. >> probably the only person who got a prediction right tonight. >> thank you. i try hard. >> news from the hillary clinton camp. john podesta told supporters to head home. he says several states are too close to call. here are his remarks. >> . >> still counting votes. every vote should count.
11:31 pm
we're not going to have anything more to say tonight. it's been a long night. >> here's where things stand right now. electoral map from abc news shows donald trump at 244. still out there right now. pennsylvania 20 electoral votes there. donald trump has 76,000-vote lead with 98% precincts reporting. michigan is closer right now. 16 electoral votes there. trump with 55 56,000 vote lead. trump is leading in wisconsin. minnesota will probably go to hillary clinton. not a professional on this but a lot of people made bad predictions. i'll stay out of that business, thank you. also close tonight, new hampshire, four electoral votes there. alaska has been called by some of the organizations, three electoral votes there to go into the trump stack as well as 11 electoral votes from arizona.
11:32 pm
11:35 pm
we're back a little after 2:30 in the east with donald trump closing in on what would be a stunning and historic victory if he gets final electoral votes. i want to explain to the viewers rights now, we can't call the states where he's in the lead right now, cannot project a victory. i want to bring in our political director is out there. >> well, right now, we are looking at the urban areas, and the clinton campaign sees a mathematical chance, even if it's not practical to overcome the gap. in pennsylvania, it's philadelphia, allegany county is another one, numbers are not in yet, but there's a mathematical chance. harder to see, but they have
