>> shannon: i'm shannon bream, democrats projected to keep control of the senate, control of the house is uncertain five days after election day. >> while the press and pundits predict a giant red wave, it did not happen. >> shannon: the rangling has begun, we will sit down with republican congressman jim banks on leadership battle and plans for the new congress. then deja vu all over again, georgia faces another senate runoff, herschel walker and raphael warnock prepare to face off in december.

>> are you ready to do this one more time? we're in overtime, that mean we got a runoff. >> shannon: and maryland voters flip the governor's office from red to blue, sending a political newcomer to the state house, we'll sit down with governor elect wes moore on defying expectations. plus -- >> i'm going to be making a very big announcement on tuesday, november 15th. >> shannon: the race for the white house could get an early start as former president trump fires a warning shot at republicans eyeing 2024. >> i believe survival of the american experiment requires revival of truamerican principles. >> shannon: ask about the brewing rivalries and notebook with the team back from the campaign trail, now on "fox news sunday." >> shannon: hello from fox news

innish washington, democrats learn overnight they will retain control of the senate and republicans appear to be on path to slip majesty in the house and democrats have slim power there. in the house republicans need seven seats to get 218 they need to regain control. in the senate, catherine cortez-masto retains her nevada seat, giving democrats 50 seats. georgia senate race is heading for a runoff next months, democrats still have control with vice president kamala harris tie-breaking vote and midterm vote counting continues, others are pivoting to 2024. ron desantis fuelling speculation with aspirations for higher office. >> our country flounders due to failed leadership in washington,

florida is on the right track. we've got so much more to do and i have only beguto fight. >> shannon: that is drawing theire of former president trump, who could launch his own bid as early as tuesday. tuchl writing ron is playing games, fake news asks him if he will run for president and he says i'm focused on the governor's race, not looking to the future. in terms of loyalty and class, that is not the right question. >> president biden weighing in. >> who would be the more competitor? >> fun watching them take on each other. >> shannon: we will be joined by jim banks, who is considered running in house republican most competitive leadership race, we ben with team coverage. jacqui heinrich is in indonesia.

first to jonathan hunt live in nevada where the senate race has been called. jonathan >> jonathan: good morning, shannon, senator catherine cortez-masto tweeted, thank you, nevada just minutes after clark county officials dropped the last batch of ballot numbers, despite election night lead, it had been clear momentum was swinging away from challenger adam laxalt as votes from democrat-heavy clark county piled up, far out numbering those from nevada's red rural counties. no indication yet there will be a legal challenge despite the fact former president trump claimed post-election day that clark county system is corrupt. election officials dismiss that size outrageous and uninformed

and noted they heard the same thing from mr. trump two years ago. along with senator mark kelly's victory in arizona, this nevada win gives democrats control of the u.s. senate, regardless of the outcome of georgia's runoff election in december. on the brighter side for know ares, they did pick up nevada's governor seat with sheriff joe lombardo ousting incumbent steve sisolak, a lone flip for republicans in this year's gubernatoriaelections, but cold comfort when compared to control of the u.s. senate. shannon. >> shannon: jonathan hunt, thank you. we turn to jacqui heinrich live in bally. hello, jacqui heinrich. >> jackie: president biden is buoyed by better than expected

midterm performance from his party. >> president biden: i'm coming in strong, i didn't need that. >> white house setting low expectation for biden first meet meeting chine counterpart as president after president xi tightened his power with unprecedented third term. >> president biden: figure out where the red lines are and get through the next two years. >> biden critics pushing for a hard line with xi. >> he might be able to achieve long-standing goals like invading and annexing taiwan. >> biden called out beijing grab without naming names offering commitment to southeast asian nations >> president biden: together we will rule against rule-based

order and threats to the rule of law. >> biden will seek to stabilize global economy, ramp up pressure on putin, not attend and empower democracy embolden by his party's own success. >> the election shows democracy will survive and american people will vote for a party, in this case democratic party that tries to preserve democracy, not undermine it >> the path for biden legislative agenda remains in question. >> president biden: i said it would be close, we can win it. >> biden just met with leaders of south korea and japan to coordinate on north korea's growing threat after kim yo-jong stepped up military exercises in recent months. president biden will push xi to wield influence in a mutual

interest. shannon. >> shannon: more on foreign policy coming up, jacqui heinrich from bally, thank you. joining in washington, indiana congressman jim banks, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> good to be here. >> shannon: democrats maintain control of the senate, waiting to see about the house. the president sees path for democrats to hold the house, as well, look at this in the light of this. "wall street journal" says 70% of voters say they are unhappy with the state of the nation with unpopular president, 8% inflation, falling income, rising chaos at borders, gop should have coasted to a normal midterm victory, what happened? >> jimmy: this was disappointing outcome on election night that we did not expects, there will be a lot of unpacking for weeks to come, did we have the wrong strategy? why did our message not break through? why did voters not buy into the vision and message republicans

were selling? the fact remains joe biden is enormously unpopular president, 80% of americans believe this country is on the wrong track and republicans will win the majority, slim majority, we will block the biden agenda, if we do that effectively and pass legislation that addresses issues that the american people care about, bringing down inflation and gas prices, the border, the drug crisis in amica and the national security issues that keep americans safe, i believe we can grow this slim majority into a more healthier majority and the 2024 election. >> shannon: do you think the bills you would pass that would have republican agenda will get past the president? he has a veto pen. >> we have a responsibility to do that, energy production, republicans said all along our top priority will be to make

america energy independent again and i think we can do that in a way putting bills on the floor with consensus among republicans and republicans plan to do that. i would hope democrats would vote, too. put a bill on the desk of the president to bring down gas prices, i don't know how he could dare veto it or prevent a bill from going into effect, legislation to bring down gas prices. >> shannon: they definitely want gas prices to go down, there are two strategies and viewpoints how to get there, whether finding common ground with democrats, we'll see. op-ed by mitt romney this week, you should be about passing bills and doing things that work for the american people, more frequented road would be to pursue investigations, messaging bills, threats and government shutdowns. republicans have been clear they are interested in investigating hunter biden, the fbi, covid, the withdrawal of afghanistan,

where do you see your agenda going? >> oversight is congress, there has been no oversight of the biden administration, that has to be a focal point of every committee in the congress, especially the house under republican control with republican chairman and chairwoman. i'm a member of the committee and i served in afghanistan, the debacle has never been, no one was held accountable, never been an investigation into the pullout of afghanistan, and cost of lives of 13 heroes, that means congress did not do their job in providing that type of oversight of the origins of covid, the lockdowns, the closure of schools and the outcome of that and never had congressional oversight into any actions of the biden administration. i disagree with senator romney, this will be major priority of

the house and what the american people expect. >> shannon: how do you find balance? he's suggesting voters will punish you in 2024 if you are holding hearings and not getting anything done. you are hamstrung by the fact much of what you hope to accomplish won't get past the president's desk, do you run a risk holding hearings? another flank of the party will say, that is what we elected you to do and we will punish you if you don't hold the hearings. >> fact of responsibility of congress to provide oversight, the american people expect congress to step up to the plate and provide that type of accountabilities, it is desperately needed, especially if 80's % of american peep elt say america is on the wrong track they expect congress to hold the administration accountable for that and their actions and that is what we will do, even in slim republican majority, we have the gavel of each of the committees and oversight is primary function.

>> shannon: the leadership elections if the gop does take the house, you are running for one of the positions. leader mccarthy has conservatives pushing back, they don't want to give him their vote, there is more to it, here is congressman bob good. >> he had a two-year audition and had opportunity to earn the vote of the conference and demonstrate he was willing to fight the biden and schumer agenda and failed to do that. >> shannon: will you vote for kevin mccarthy as speaker? >> i support him and his experience, he's been whip, majority leader, minority leader and now the speaker. we need someone like him who can pull the conference today. rank and file members want more of opportunity and seat at the table and be heard. when it comes to how complicated and challenging to get anything done, listen to members all over

the country. the republican party will be more diverse from members on right, middle, diversity in healthy ways, as well, rank and file members want to be heard and leader mccarthy is working through the process with rules changes. we'll have rules conference meeting where we ve on the rules in the middle of this upcoming week and an opportunity toic mathe changes. >> shannon: what about the freedom caucus folks, who save he caved on things and will not get their vote? >> leader mccarthy raised the most money in the history of our party before, $500 million, he did his part to win the majority and we're going to do that, again, disappointing slim majority, if we do what we say we are going to do and we're serious and push the bold agenda our conference is unified around, i believe we will grow

the majority in the 2024 election. >> shannon: former president trump expected to make a big announcement on tuesday, there is growing frustration from folks who say he backed far right candidates and most lost their races, we have virginia winsome sears who campaigned for president trump in 2020, she said this. >> the voters have spoken and said they want a different leader and a true leader understands when they have become a liability, a true leader understands that it is time to step off the stage and the voters have given us that very clear message. >> shannon: she says it is time for a change, voters gave that message. "washington post" says the big message is damage trump has done and price republican have paid for not standing up to him sooner, is his announcement we expect on tuesday good or bad

for the gop? >> i don't know if he is announcing this week or not, shouldn't be surprise with completion of the midterm, the 2024 election is in front of us. donald trump is popular figure in the republican party, in each corner of the country and remember when he was on the ballot in 2016 and 2020, we won a lot more seats than when he wasn't on the ballot in 2018 and 2022. >> shannon: his picks had a rough time. >> he supported many candidates who won, too, but he wasn't on the ballot in 2022, that is something to remember, he supported many candidates who did win, as well. 2024 primary is in front of us and we're unpacking last tuesday and figuring out where our party goes from here and that will be our focus on capitol hill, picking up the pieces and moving

forward? >> shannon: will you support him or wait to see who gets in >> i believe donald trump is an effective president and could be a very effective president for our country again. i will save my endorsement for another place and time for the 2024 race, i'm focused on what happened on tuesday and how the party moves forward on capitol hill. >> shannon: feel free to come here and let us know, and thank you for your service as a veefrt veteran, we appreciate that. up next, historical election in georgia. and democrats see him as a rising star, governor-elect wes moore joins me next. ♪ ♪ you don't have to wait until retirement to start enjoying your plans. with pacific life... ...imagine your future withonfidence.

uniminable what has taken place.

>> shannon: he is a political newcomer who defeated far right candidate to win the top statewe office in maryland. in january the seat will flip from red to blue and he will be the only sitting black governor in the country. joining us is maryland governor-elect wes moore. the dust is settling from election night, better than expected for democrats, "wall street journal" has this warning, risk for democrats as they celebrate, they will ignore voter unhappiness, voters had unfavorable views of both parties. our voter analysis where we crunch the numbers, number of key voting blocks had double-digit swings away from democrats to republicans, that includes voters under 30, black voters, hispanic voters and self-described moderates, are there warning signals for democrats? >> i think the biggest thing

that democrats have to do and frankly we did in our race was when we said we went everywhere, we went everywhere. look at maryland, we won by the last time we had the size of the win in a gubernatorial race in the state of maryland has been close to 40 years and the way you do that and only way is to win democrats, independents and take a large chunk of republican. part of what it was was meeting voters where they were, politics is like an open-book test. voters give you the answers, you just have to listen and that means going everywhere in rural, suburban parts of the state and come up with policy that meet the needs. >> shannon: you talk about reaching across and building coalition and regardless of party, on election night you talked about patriotism and said it doesn't mean telling our neighbors that we're better than them, tens of millions of americans have been hearing this

from the president saying if you don't vote for democrats you are an extremist and potentially could be destroying this country, does he speak for you in saying that? >> no, you cannot say that you love the country when you hate half of the people in it. and i think about in the case of our race, where my definition of patriotism was when i left my family and i put on the uniform of country and i was running against somebody whose definition of patriotism was putting on a baseball cap and asking people to join him on january 6, loving your country does not mean working to destroy democracy. in order to move forward and be able to have unified measure of a state, which we're able to show in the state of maryland, it meant being able to build a coalition that is broad and represented from progressive

maryland to the police union. all saying that we know in this time, it is not just that we have a vote, we have a voice and our voice needs to be heard and respected. >> shannon: the converse of that, you mention millions of americans telling the country you hate them or they are not valuable or their vote is going to be a step toward taking the country apart, that is a dangerous message. it is. i remember a conversation i had with a guy named shannon in a rural part of maryland and he was a server and was telling about trials and the fact he was working multip jobs and living at the poverty line. i told him we want to focus on job retraining and reskilling, making sure high schools aren't based on four-year college, because that is not the path for every student and wasn't my

path. shannon said, you haveernaed my vote, i have one ask for you, don't forget about us. i think the thing we have to do in this moment, for every single marylander and people in the states and jurisdictions is basically say you are not just going to have an important place at the table, but every decision driven is about how can we come up with the best solutions to bring marylanders together, that is going to create pathways for work and wages and wealth for all citizens and not just some. >> shannon: those things sound great, how do you pay for them? raising taxes, cutting government funding? >> it is not about raising taxes and we were clear on the campaign trail, even when people tried to pull in that direction. i know that i've never been -- i've been a public servant for much of my life, but haven't been a politician. i've led soldiers and ran a

successful small business and i'm very good at math. when you have a situation where you have structural surplus in the state of maryland and have federal dollars brought to the state of maryland earmarked to specific issues and have unique opportunity to have leveraged capital from the private sector, bring in phil an throppy, community organizations into the conversations, the question is about how we utilize capital properly and wisely that can get the largest societal return on that investment issue the answer is not raise taxes, capital is out there, be smart. >> shannon: you are saying better use of what you have. >> exactly. >> shannon: there is speculation about your future, you have yet to be sworn in as governor. politico wrote wes moore never been elected to anything and some backers are eyeing the white house, do you feel that pressure? do you have that ambition?

i remember reading when you were in military school, another student said you used to sit around and talk about being president, is that part of the plan? >> i don't remember it that way, the thing i know, this is maryland's decade, think about the assets of the state of maryland, this is home of cyber command and the nsa and nih and johns hopkins university and top universities for top hbcu's in the state of maryland, this is maryland's decade and i'm excited to lead maryland. >> shannon: after that decade, aspirations, do you feel pressure of that? >> i don't, i'm a kid who just decades ago, i felt handcuff from my wrists when i was 11 years old. my mom was an immigrant single mother who raised three children on her own, she didn't get a job and benefits until i was 14, i am living the dream right now.

if someone said to that 11 year old kid, one day you would be governor, i would have never believed them. i'm in this race and i got into this race and plan to be the kind of governor that wants to make sure stories like mine don't have to be expections, but rules for how maryland you have moos. i am -- i know how grateful and thankful i am for the moment we fine ourselves in and ready to get to work, this is maryland's time. >> shannon: make america's time after that, come back and tell us what your plans are. you mentioned your childhood and there was speculation and will be scrutiny if you proceed on the path, further political ambition, about your childhood and representations as a young person in maryland. it was said there was no evidence you were born there and talked to you moving to new york and going to military school in pennsylvania and there was no

address for you in baltimore until you were attending johns hopkins, they quote richard vatz, professor who says the story that you tell in your book is compelling, but may be more >> phil:ion than fact, misleading the public, your campaign refuses ta-tarrant county about it, set the record straight. >> there is nothing in my book or i've ever said that has been exaggerated or mislead anybody, i don't have a reason to exaggerate my life, i moved around when i was young, not because of choice issue but because of tragedy, i watched my father die in front of me at three years old because he didn't get healthcare he needed. i watched my family strule. i was 17 years old, i first joined the army, first became decided united states military was my future, my path. i was only candidate in this

race with associate degree, i graduated from a two-year college, i didn't have the traditional path. i'm proud of my life and my journey and i'm not going to let political opponents manipulate that or minimize the fact that i'm incredibly proud of my mom, i'm incredibly proud of my family and incredibly proud of the journey people saw for me and helped me understand and realize for myself. >> shannon: does it matter details about your life and childhood in baltimore? you can be proud of your amazing success story, when people want to know the truth about where you came from in early days? >> i think people can see from everything i've written and read that is the truth, that in fact even people political opponents who try to challenge it, they don't challenge anything i've written or said, if we look at the challenge, that is not what they are challenging. it is about whether or not i was quick to correct an interviewer

in a live interview. i'm proud of my background and the fact i've been honest the entire time and i refuse to let political opponents manipulate that. >> shannon: thank you for yo service on this veterans day week end and serving our country, governor-elect, thank you for joining us. up next florida governor ron desantis wins setting up expectations for what could be a huge 2024 rivalry, we'll bring in the sunday group on the fallout from florida, next.

>> election day our voters didn't show up, complete disappointment, we didn't have enough of a positive message. it is bad, democrats are radical. we have to have a plan what we stand for. >> shannon: florida governor rick scott pointing fingers after coming up short in the midterm, chairman of the committee tasked with winning enough seats to retake the senate majority, it is time for the sunday group, former senator from louisiana marry and chad

pergram, welcome to all of you, you don't know if anyone has gotten sleep, you look good, like you have. i want to play something from chuck schumer who will remain senate majority leader. >> there was no red wave and there -- reason there wasn't, democrats had a blue wave of accomplishment. >> shannon: he echos what the president is saying and voters liked what they saw from democrats, there was no traditional shellacking. >> karl: it is more complicated than that, if they liked what they saw, democrats would have picked up seats in the house rather than losing the house, more complicated picture. republicans had a bad night, so did the democrats, status quo, two governorships they shouldn't have had, maryland and massachusetts and incumbents were term limited and picked up one net governorship, has to be

disappointing election for both parties. republicans should have had bigger gains, democrats lost the house and president biden legislative agenda, he said i will not change anything, he better change something, he will not get the american rescue plan and inflation reduction act 2.0 through a republican house. >> shannon: we talked with congressman banks, the president said he has a veto pen? >> karl rove is good, but he is not that good to make last night look that good, it was good for republicans, it was shellacking r republicans and the trump wing of the republican party >> voters voted for democracy. i agree with karl on this, voters want pragmatic politics and not getting that from either side, for sure, but the

republicans took it on the chin because i think democracy won, people do not like election deniers or people undermining our democracy. i think governor wes moore said it beautifully, how can you be patriotic and love the country and hate half the people and donald trump makes fun of so many people. >> shannon: that works reverse, people feel president biden is saying it about them. >> president biden never called out someone from the audience and ridiculed them. >> we've seen it. >> president biden's heart is strong and good and people know that, he had a good election night, democrats had a good election night, red wave never occurred and it is because president biden has delivered on so many of his promises. >> it is surprising mary thinks the defeat of nancy pelosi is a good thing for our party, it is good for the country, idea joe biden has been the unifier is

laughable, in fact, we saw the other night, no note, no, i intend to work together, no, i'm not changing a thing, if democrats want to live in la-laland, go ahead, both parties need to work together. >> shannon: let's get mo in here. >> the best thing going on in election was running against know ares, the republican brand. the republican brand as currently defined, led by the former president of the united states is toxic right now. >> it is. >> democrats may lose the house, still not called, still not certain, still a very narrow path, but based on every indication historica indications, the current rating shouldn't be a question this many days out. we've gained seats in the senate, flipped state legislative chambers.

why? because republicans right now people may not love this president, but they look at the alternative and said we can't have that. >> shannon: something that was up earlier, about the flip and shift from democrats in 2022, the gop, this time around with women under 30, black voters, moderates and hispanic voters, gop made gains in all categories that can't be good for democrats. >> i'm not saying democrats ought to be sitting pretty, democrats need to make some changes and acknowledge there is room for them to grow. having said that, having said that, the fact that they ended up with the potential of a gain of a seat in the senate, they flipped state legislative chambers in states like michigan, right, that is a huge warning sign for republicans. >> shannon: one big factor in michigan, abortion factor drove democrats and helped the left,

that was a factor. >> it also drove independents. >> shannon: i got to get the brain of capitol hill in here, chad pergram, doesn't have a plan to step away from congress, watch as leadership fights play out, she says she will not talk about that yet. we have senators openly calling republican senators to delay things, josh hawley said old party is dead, build something new. number of them saying it is not time to vote on leadership, mcconnell in trouble? is mccarthy in trouble? >> start with mcconnell have a few oppose him tre, senator barrasso -- unless it changes right now and the person vying for that job, rick scott, republican from florida, he is the one in charge of the republican re-election efforts and apparently failed, problem for rick scott, his stock is not high now.

>> shannon: there are those who point to funding decisions made by the pack aligned with mcconnell, they want to argue. >> mihch mcconnell said this will come down to candidate quality and expressing reservations and had problems with todd aiken and murdoch. if you have narrow majority, reason he doesn't become speaker of the house when boehner departed and some suggested this is rehash of 2015. here is something that very few people know, shannon, you had two occasions in the mid-19th century, you had two speakers of the house elected without outright majority of the house, hal cobb and nathaniel banks and took two full months to elect --

>> shannon: don't say that. >> they could pass resolution and this happened, to elect speaker of the house without outright majority. but kevin mccarthy has a lot of baggage and the other thing to governoring, he will get rid of remote voting in the house of representative, something speaker nancy pelosi kept in. if somebody gets in a car wreck or out sick, you can't pass bills. nancy pelosi says i ins tend to remain in congress, did not say as speaker or majority leader, she wants to see people in the building and see what the vote matrix looks like and after the attack on her husband, i was told this may embolden her to stay. i don't know her thinking, i know how she thinks. >> shannon: yeah. -- >> can i end on something positive, we have a minute left, positive thing.

one way to work together is on energy policy, republicans are right when they want more infrastructure for natural gas pipelines, which are important. democrats are right need transmission lines, maybe that is a place we can start and build a bridge to the future, manufacturing jobs in america, both parties support. what do you think? >> shannon: the bridge? >> mary and i agree, let's make one final note, democrats if they thought good night, florida with 17-point victory for the governor is no longer a swing state, ohio with 26-point victory for governor dewine, no longer state, texas was going to turn blue, lost by dozen points. >> michigan, minnesota, texas going blue. >> shannon: continue in the commercial break, got to pay extra for that, panel, thank you. up next, reporters took you on the road to the midterms this

year, they are going to see how the races played out, we've asked them to open their reporter netbooks, conversations they had with you out in your communities. >> what can congress do for a nevada dad that is thinking about walking to work because he can't afford gas? >> i mean, what can they do? spend more wisely so we don't end up paying the price at the end of the day.

>> this is not an adventure race, this is a military selection. they will play by our rules. >> do i still have that fire? >> special forces, premieres january 4 on fox. >> shannon: in 2022, fox news spent hundreds of days on the road for the midterms and they know how much they had to leave on the cutting room floor, bring in alexandria hoff, ayesha

hasnie, senior national correspondent rich edson and mark meredith. you have been all over the world and representing so well, we love to have you around the table. mark, you covered multiple states, thoughts you had? >> mark: i was amazed how passionate people were, we begged about pandemic and these people were more accessible. i found the campaigns i covered in ohio were super media friendly, such a rare thing, they wanted to talk and hear from us. >> shannon: that is helpful as a reporter. >> mark: didn't have to beg people, that is nice. >> shannon: you have someone from south carolina or ohio? >> mark: interesting, because when we talk about polls so much, okay, this is what people tell us, when you hear from somebody directly, we heard about the economy, take a listen to what one voter told me they

thought the most important issue would be. you go to the grocery store, i don't know how many people i see on the phone checking calculators and seeing how much they can spend, it hurts. it has to stop. hopefully this helps. >> mark: the reason he was voting specifically because of inflation and we could talk about is this real, how much are people talking about this? that guy summed it up. >> shannon: ayesha hasnie, you were in hot spots, that is number one thing we heard from people over and over again. >> aishah: in georgia, inflation was leading for voters, people are passion ate and eager to talk to us and sick and tired of the politics, especially in georgia, they have to go through a runoff, they are tired of this race and don't wanto see the ads anymore. so much money poured into the race in particular, the story was split voters.

voters who went for brian kemp but wasn't sure about herschel walker. this man told me why he went for kemp and then raphael warnock. >> he stood up to trump, that is automatically a big bonus in his favor and handling of covid, number one thing, herschel walker supported by donald trump and that call the rapid burger, when that call comes to herschel walker and something has to happen in the senate or do something freaky, herschel walker will be here for him. >> shannon: not sure what freaky thing, it could happen. >> aishah: you hear the mistrust, you hear people who would have voted for herschel walker, but don't feel onboard and continuously heard from conservatives who were not sure if they were voting for the right guy, interesting to see in the runoff, especially with the 80's,000 plus voters who voted libertarian, that is insane.

i think it is interesting to see where those voters shift to. >> shannon: yeah, rich, of the places in the state you went, anything surprised you? >> rich: the threat that ran through all the states. you heard georgia, you heard ohio, we were in pennsylvania and in north carolina. we were across the country. how national this race got was incredibly surprising because complaints you heard, the issues people really cared about were consistent throughout the campaign and you got that sense as you talked to different people. we spent last couple weeks in pennsylvania -- all the races unique, but this case, election-night party and i do not like to bring up election-night parties issue mostly donors and campaign staff, not people out voting, but this campaign they ran in pennsylvania that nobody

expected to be called that night. we were hearing from voters -- >> shannon: preparing for days. >> rich: in 2020, it took four days, when that moment happened here is john fetterman at that moment he declared victory in pennsylvania, surprisingly so. >> we jammed them up. [cheering] >> we held the line. >> rich: that was emotion, surprise and also so much relief on people's faces, it was done, they had done it through and the other part of this race, john fetterman had a stroke, immediately as he won the nomination here, a lot of different issues and that feeling of relief they called it that evening. >> shannon: secretary of state had warned us it would take days and instead it was out west issue arizona and nevada caused us to wait. alex, one of my favorite pieces

blessed. >> alexandria: his wife passed and illustrates once we get beyond, conversations will be had, bubbles people live in, in real life, they probably don't and you have to get along with each other and in nevada, a surprising thing, people didn't respond very diffently when asked the biggest issues and it took a couple days to decide this because of mail-in voteing and it showed how elections have changed. >> shannon: anybody surprised abortion, which we knew was big deal and the dobbs decision, it turned up as number two, outpaced crime. >> it was between the points behind inflation in florida, when i asked women why they voted, abortion was the answer. >> shannon: any sense republicans will change the way they handle early election and
