good morning, it's 11:00 a.m. eastern, 8:00 a.m. pacific time. i'm chris jansing along with my colleague jose diaz-balart. the big question this hour is can democrats cap off a stunningly strong midterm by hanging on to control of the senate? >> and the answer to that question will hinge on votes

still, still coming in from arizona and nevada. new totals will be announced? nevada this afternoon and arizona tonight. if the two parties split those two states, then it all comes down to the runoff in georgia. we're still waiting for clarity in the house. the republicans lead in the projections, but nothing is official now. down in mar-a-lago, president trump is furious about the results and blaming everyone, including his wife for the failures of the hand-picked candidates that he endorsed. could the fallout from the midterms delay his 2024 announcement or could it derail his white house run completely? >> this is truly a pivot point for the republican party. this is a time that donald trump is no doubt in the rearview mirror. >> we've got a lot to talk about. let's get started by handing things over to our national political correspondent steve kornacki. what are you watching right now? >> that question of control of the house which, as you say, republicans have the much clearer path to a majority than

the democrats right now, but it's not over yet. take a look at this, this is the model from our decision desk, remember 218 seats needed for house control. right now, we're projecting that the republicans would land at 222. the key here, though, is that's plus or minus seven seats. meaning there is still a world where democrats could get up to 218, 219, maybe even 220 and actually hold the majority. it's not likely, but it's not impossible. and it's kind of wild given the expectations that -- here we are a few days after the election, still talking about that possibility. let's take a look at what is still to be called when it comes to the house. first of all, these are democratic-held seats that republicans are targeting. these are all uncalled races remaining to be called. if you're a democrat and you're trying to sort of pull that inside straight and get control of the house, you basically need to defend all of these are just about all of these.

you notice, one of the big things here, one of the big features of the house is how many of the outstanding races are in california. in california, the counts has just begun. less than half the vote, less than 40% of the vote in a lot of these districts is yet to be tallied. but democrats, something like josh harder, a democratic incumbent in california's ninth district, we have barely a third of the vote in. it takes weeks in california. he'll need to hang on. the 13th district. there's no incumbent here, newly created through redistricting. the democrats would need to win this. this was democratic held. neither of these candidates is an incumbent. katy porter would need to hang on. democrats would need to hang on to a lot of these seats. they are leading in a lot of the tallies of these seats. the democrats lead in all of these right now. so it's possible -- let's see what happens, it's possible democrats could hold on to the bulk of these seats. again, to have any chance of house control. they need to do that and then

the second thing they need to do is take a look here. again, these are uncalled seats. these are republican-held seats and democrats need to be flipping seat after seat here. you notice, one, two, three, four, five in california. so a district like the third district of california. democrats would need to pick this one. the 22nd district of california, david valadao, democrats would nice to oust him. this is literally a 50/50 race right now in colorado's third district, western colorado. lauren boebert, she's trailing the democrat adam frisch by 64 votes. this right now, the closest house race in the united states of america. if democrats can get this one, though, that would be a gain for them and that's the name of the game for them right now. it is defend as many of these vulnerable democratic seats as they possibly can and it's win

as many of these republican seats as they possible can. the odds say the republicans would end up with a narrow house majority but there still exists a path and i think california has a huge amount to do with this where democrats if they could run the table in those california districts and get some breaks elsewhere, still not out of the question, they would end up with an exceedingly narrow majority. >> this is wild. we did not expect this. thank you, steve. appreciate that. steve kornacki. as we speak, former president trump is under pressure to do something that simply isn't in his nature which is to step back and concede the spotlight. according to multiple reports, trump's own people are urging him to delay any plans to announce his 2024 white house run at least until after the georgia runoff. >> i know there's a temptation to start talking about 2024. no, no, no. 2022 is not over. >> does that include trump? >> i think he needs to put it on

pause, absolutely -- does he go to georgia? >> no one houses until we get through december 26th. >> jason miller said no one, no one in trump's orbit wants to stick with the original plan except maybe trump himself who in spite of that underwhelming republican performance told fox last night, we had tremendous success. why would anything change? >> if you were listening, meanwhile, to president biden yesterday, it sounded like he's inclined to run as well and will announce earlier next year. he was also asked directly by our own kristen welker. >> who do you think would be the tougher competitor, ron desantis or former president trump, how would that affect your decision? >> it would be fun to watch them take on each other. >> jonathan allen is nbc news senior national political

reporter, eugene daniels, nbc political contributor, elise jordan was an aide in the george w. bush white house and an msnbc political analyst. elise this is where we find the republican party. everything is great, everything is good. if we lost, it's because the other side cheated and you have other people who are saying, i'm going to get as far away from trump as fast as i can. where does that leave the republican party? has it changed over the last 48 hours? >> how many times have we been through this exercise before? that's just where i am -- >> 1 million. >> and i would say predominantly after january 6th where you have republican leadership wanting to distance, but then they keep going back. and is it probably going to be the same this go-round? they have an opportunity to decide, let's end it with donald trump. you look at what fox news is

doing, murdoch seems to have come out, editorials in "the wall street journal" today that donald trump can't like -- >> all of his -- >> so they have a choice. and i can't help but to think it's probably going to just be like every other choice they've ever had with donald trump. stick with him. we'll get his strength back and he'll be a formidable competitor in the republican primary, of course. >> eugene, i want to play a part of what adam kinzinger said about how he sees it playing out? >> i think he'll burn the place down. everything is about him. even on election night, truthing or whatever that is, some message about the future, all he was doing was gloating about the republicans who lost who didn't suck up to him. while people look at desantis

and i think desantis had a great night, i think he's going to be a solid candidate for the republicans going forward, but it's a wide-open field. i think there's room for somebody to come forward. >> so where do you see this going and maybe the question is, even if the president wouldn't answer the question yesterday that kristen asks, what are you hearing from other people around the president about who they think would be the tougher opponent? >> i think they think desantis is probably tougher because he doesn't have all of the baggage that donald trump has. you saw republicans in 2022 -- in 2020 voting for president biden because they didn't like the mess and the drama that trump brought as president. you're probably not going to see that exact same thing happening with desantis. that's one thing. elise is right, republicans have played this game over and over and over again. i was talking to someone

recently and they pointed out that republicans haven't really had wins with donald trump since 2016. look at 2018, you look at 2020, you look at two days ago, and things have not gone well for them electorately. and yet they can't shake him. this is a person who does not always think -- rarely thinks about anyone else but himself when it comes to the election. and so it's hard to see even -- no matter how many people are telling him please don't go to georgia, first of all, because of this runoff, please don't announce your 2024 candidacy, he's going to do what he wants to do. at this point, he's painted himself into a corner to run and it's probably announced pretty soon. we'll have to wait and see. republicans in front of cameras, they're saying we -- i'm probably going to be speaker of the house for mccarthy, i'm going to be this and that. but they're also behind the scenes thinking about and talking about what went wrong,

whose fault it was and many of them are pointing at donald trump. >> desantis won in florida. he took miami-dade which is a traditionally blue county, palm beach, winning almost 70% of the cuban american vote, 50-plus of all latinos. trump clearly has to be looking at that. what's his formula and is that a formula that could be taken nationally? >> i think one of the things that we're not really talking about is the fact that desantis gerrymandered all of florida. as a result he was able to concentrate a lot of the money. that's not going to be necessarily true in the other states. and frankly the fact that the map that we're looking at right now, that wasn't the biden map. this is -- all these states are redistricted and most of them -- >> 100% of the states. >> these are gop-controlled redistricting. the fact that there's not a full

red wave speaks that maybe desantis is not peddling the same thing that the majority of republicans want. i actually think there's a lot more moderate republicans and they want to tone down the temperature. i think it will be interesting. one of the things i'm hearing from the folks on the republican side, they say they would like to figure out how do we modernize our election system. how do we have rules for everybody so we know our votes count? you know who says that? the left. it might be time for us to have a -- the left. this is from rural pennsylvanians that are having this -- >> i believe people say that. but could it happen? >> it's an appetite. will they have an appetite for it. i know there was some legislation happening in connecticut and a study coming out of harvard called universal voting, i was on the task force, and we found that by creating these universal rolls in voting, it tones down the temperatures from both sides and i think most of americans, that's what we're

seeing right now. most of americans want the temperature toned down. >> something that strikes me and i think about that, steve kornacki was talking about some of those district races in california with 34% of the vote counted, 55%, we have nevada, we have, you know, so many states that are still not -- brazil. 220 million people just had an election, 118 million voted and in 48 hours the results were in and they were against the incumbent bolsonaro and dela silvia won. why is it that a place like brazil that has so much vote to count does it in 48 hours and we're here days later -- >> there are states -- >> there's no universal -- >> we don't have federal elections that are universal. the rules are not universal. it's all state-based. that's why when people talk about restructuring the voting rights act, this is what we're talking about. every single person, regardless of zip code should play by the

same rules. everybody who can vote can. that's reasonable. i think that's -- we can talk about -- we can talk about the shenanigans about it. >> and count. why is it difficult to count? >> what did florida do differently tabulating their votes than other states that they seem to be a model of efficiency -- >> hanging chads, 2000. >> arizona is a perfect example. we've had to file lawsuits. arizona is a perfect example. i can cross the street in the rural area of arizona and drop off my ballot but it has to go to a processing center in phoenix to get -- and then sent back to my secretaries of state in my local jurisdiction. colorado doesn't do that. colorado just sends it off, if you love across the street, i will do that. it's how do you create universal standards. i have to say, senator klobuchar has been a huge proponent of this and i encourage them -- even in the lame duck session, i think there's an opportunity for finish the job. >> in the meantime, we still have what looks like it's going

to be a runoff, right? we still have -- what did we call it before? we're in the middle of the midterms. so, jonathan, i'm curious what you think the republicans' biggest worry about trump announcing next week is, i don't know, he's going to take attention away from georgia, he could hurt herschel walker, that it's too soon after suffering midterm losses, he needs to recover from that, all of the above. what are you hearing? >> look, the biggest concern for republicans about georgia is that donald trump will become the issue. what we saw in georgia this year is that he went against brian kemp in a primary and kemp won that primary easily and kemp cruised essentially to re-election at governor. donald trump harms the republican party in georgia at just the time when they need a bump, not somebody hindering. the other thing that's going on at a national level, republicans have the same they have as 2016. they can either consolidate

against -- behind one rival to donald trump and defeat him, or they can fracture and let donald trump win a primary with about 35% of the vote. so many of the republican states in the delegate counts are winner take all or winner take most. donald trump needs that base as long as they're at least three or four viable candidates in the republican primary. they can consolidate around ron desantis or someone else or watch donald trump continue to lead their county into what elise and others have said is a series of losses. >> mike, i want to play for you what president trump said yesterday when he was asked what the message he got from the midterms was. >> 75% of voters say the country is headed in the wrong direction. despite the results of last night, what in the next two years do you intend to do differently to change people's opinion of the direction of the country, particularly as you contemplate a run for president in 2024. >> nothing. because they're just finding out what we're doing.

the more they know about what we're doing, the more support there is. >> our exit polls show that 69% of voters do not want biden to run again. if the white house doesn't think that's because of the agenda, what do they attribute that to, you think? >> it's about two-thirds of all voters don't want the president to run for re-election, but especially concerning for the white house is that 43% of democrats in our exit poll said they don't want the president to seek a second term. when i talk to white house officials about why that is, there was a difference in before and after the election. before the election, they were saying simply, this is all about historical trends, especially about the rough four or five years we've had as a country, the scarring affects of covid, the economy being in such a major concern, and they really cast this as just a part of historical trends that also show that a president can rebound from a tough midterm and get re-elected, barack obama did it, bill clinton did it specifically. when we talked after the election, the real theme was

about the resilience of joe biden. the fact that he was counted out, his strategy questioned in the 2020 campaign. he became the nominee and the president of the united states and just as we saw then, his strategy was questioned in the midterm elections and democrats are poised to have the best first-term midterm for a president's party in really generations, certainly since president bush in 2002. and so as we see the president yesterday asked about the sort of questions about his political future, his answer was, just watch me, that's an answer we've heard before. today, we're going to watch the president and the vice president, a rare joint political appearance here in washington, taking something of a victory lap as they try to keep that momentum going, especially with an eye towards georgia. ron klain saying last night on msnbc that the white house would do anything raphael warnock wants. they'll deploy any kind of resources to the state to help him and it was notable and we should remember that in 2020 and 2021 during that runoff election

we saw then, president-elect joe biden made two trips to georgia on campaign of those candidates. a lot of questions. we haven't seen president biden in georgia since january of this year. he stayed away during warnock's campaign. will he come down the stretch run here as he faces that runoff in a couple of weeks? >> thank you so much. stay with us. senate control still up for grabs. did you know that? with two key races in arizona and nevada still undecided, the major updates we could get by the end of today. strong winds and coastal flooding in florida as tropical storm nicole makes landfall. that's ahead. storm nicole makes landfall. that's ahead fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils. it helps prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and lower use of oral steroids. fasenra is not a rescue medication or for other eosinophilic conditions. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth and tongue, or trouble breathing.

just a couple of hours, officials in clarke county, nevada, are expected to give an update on the results there. right now republican adam laxalt has a slight lead over cortez masto. in arizona, mark kelly's campaign says they feel confident they will win over republican blake masters. we expect to get results there from maricopa county later tonight. >> joining us now, nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard and guad venegas is in las vegas. tell us the what, when, where, why. what are we going to learn today and when? >> reporter: we're looking of a deficit of kari lake of about

13,000 votes. we will not get the next major ballot dump of results until about 8:00 or 9:00 eastern tonight. it's going to be a waiting game as the folks here at the county continue to tabulate the votes. what do we expect? we expect the democrats to expand their lead. but we need to put this all into context. we are going to see some of these ballots here being -- the tuesday drop-off ballots. these are mail ballots that voters received and took to their polling locations instead of mailing them back. why are these significant? well, number one, in maricopa county, there's 275,000 of them. in 2020 they showed a leaning towards donald trump. the expectation is is that a great many of these are going to be folks that are going to vote for blake masters and kari lake. 100,000 more folks did it this way than in 2020. how much tonight can the democrats expand their lead in

order to provide buffer of what these gop-leaning ballots intakes that we expect over the next coming days to look like. the kari lake campaign feel very good about their odds. i want to let you read a statement from mark kelly's campaign last night in which they wrote, we continue to be confident that we will win this race and are grateful for arizona's election officials to count outstanding ballots across the state. while we look at these differences of just a few thousand votes right now, we need to put in context that there's still a half million ballots left to be counted in the state of arizona, guys. >> how important are these new ballots to the overall race there? >> jose, very important. late yesterday, we finally got information from officials here in clarke county of the drop boxes here. so we now know on election day in clarke county, they picked up about 56,900.

almost 57,000 ballots were picked up in clarke county. it might change things as they tabulate these votes. you look at what happened yesterday. yesterday, they informed us that about 26,000 ballots were being processed that came in through the mail for monday and tuesday. and then after that, we saw catherine cortez masto catch up. she's less than 16,000 votes behind adam laxalt. that's after they tabulated the initial votes. we still have these 57,000 votes from the drop boxes that has favored the democrats. and then we also have more mail-in ballots that are going to be coming in. this is where the vast majority of voters are located in nevada. we're looking here at the differences. here's what's important when we look at clark county. these are the two counties that the democrats are winning and these are the two county that is have the most voters in nevada. if things continue with the

amount of mail in votes that are still going to be coming in today and tomorrow and as they tabulate those votes from the drop boxes, if the trend continues, those are going to favor the democrats. the key thing is, how many mail-in ballots are still going to be coming in? the more mail-in ballots that come in, we expect that to favor the democrats and the higher the chance they have to catch up, jose. >> i thank you both very much for being with us this morning. coming up, why some republicans want to keep trump far away from georgia. we'll have that next.

>> reporter: that's right, jose. for many, many months, leading up to the election, we kept hearing about sb-202 which is a slate of new election and voting laws in the state of georgia which changed the way folks vote, when they can vote, where they can vote, how early they can vote and who can pass out water or snacks in line when folks are waiting. but one thing it did was truncate and shorten the amount of time between an election and a runoff. back in 2020, you see more than two months. now the time has shrunken down to just four weeks. less than a full month for these campaigns to continue to raise money, to rally to organize their voters, and so you talk about the intensity the first go-round, now you have a runoff that is cut in half than what you experienced in previous elections. intense, jose, is a word for it. >> it's great seeing you. thank you so much. a new episode is now available,

breaking down all things georgia and what the early polls got right and wrong about the black vote. listen now, it's really important stuff, wherever you get your podcasts. let's continue the conversation with maria teresa kumar and elise jordan. mark caputo reports this, are you ready? walker's internal campaign polling showed trump hurt him with the voters we need to win, independent, moderate republican, female voters, according to campaign sources familiar with data and who declined to discuss the information on the record which is why they don't want him around, right? but then josh just tweeted this, trump is saying all sorts of things this morning, attacking fox and calling people various names. he does not like the coverage of the results as it relates to him. one of the post ends, remember, i'm a stable genius. >> oh, my goodness. we're back. we're back to the same trump

news cycle and is it really going to be any different that time? is he going to be disciplined? is he going to go to georgia and be a disciplined campaigner for herschel walker? no, he can't. did brian kemp's republican voters, did he get all of their votes for -- did herschel walker, for the senate, no, that's why there's a runoff. what a mess. it's going to be interesting to see if donald trump can be controlled by his advisers because i don't think that anyone ever controls donald trump. >> can you say if you're the walker campaign, don't come? >> i think they can. and i think -- if anything, the lists that you said of the folks that he turned off is why we didn't see a red wave. and i think one of the things i find interesting is whether or not -- who warnock is going to have on deck. if i were him, it would be a very multicultural group of georgians that got him elected the first time. by truncating this election

time, last time you had 50,000 new young people that had turned -- 18 during that same time period. now we can't register them. because they moved the goalpost, once again. >> we're mentioning it with tremaine, the cost of this campaign is going to be unlimited. >> just the georgia election alone was a quarter of a billion dollars. how is that fathomable? before i talked about modernizing our election systems with universal voting, we have to pass -- making sure that there are caps and limits on who can put their name in the game, actually have paid underwritten elections under the federal rules because otherwise this becomes untenable. >> a georgia voter said she's so sick of political ads and they're oversaturated and done. >> i think that this -- this special election, it's going to energize the warnock voters. i don't think that -- >> it's going to do what? >> they're going to energize the

warnock voters. kemp had a lot to do with mobilization down ballot and i don't know if there's going to be that same enthusiasm for him. >> kemp's group and influence could help -- >> no, because kemp is no longer -- he won. so i don't think that the same people that came out, they voted down ballot and herschel walker was close. i don't think that's going to be the case now with warnock and herschel walker toe to toe with kemp not being on the ballot. >> it's very hard to get people out in a situation like this. but we've talked about it, up is down, down is up. the old things we thought we knew historically, the way that we watched individual races, individual districts, doesn't seem to apply in way, way, way more cases than ever before. and so i don't know what to think about turnout. i don't know. because it's so highly publicized, will it exceed anything we've seen before. if people say, if i see one more ad, i'm putting my head under

the covers, and i'm not coming out. i don't know what's going to happen. even with all the money that's going to go in. >> i think the energy is there. look at the turnout on tuesday. there was just a record midterm voting turnout and what we have seen in other specials, what we saw in alabama in 2017 and then what we saw in the last georgia runoff, there's a lot of energy there and especially when it's going to be the final seat and if you have special guests coming to georgia, if you have a michelle obama visit, if you have different -- >> barack obama. >> i would say michelle, actually. we would rather have michelle, i think. >> is donald trump going to be able to stay away? we'll see. >> maria teresa kumar, elise jordan, stick around for us. we have a lot more to talk about. >> meanwhile, alaska is assured of having a republican senator, but the question remains which one. so that's because the two top candidates who got the most votes on tuesday were both

republicans, lisa murkowski and challenger kelly tshibaka. since neither received 50% of the vote, the two will advance to a ranked choice runoff. >> the rank choice system allows voters to rank candidates in order of candidates. murkowski was one of seven republican senators to convict donald trump. tshibaka got trump's endorsement. we may not know that winner until november 23rd. november, december. midterms. >> not immediately. dangerous conditions right now in florida's tropical storm nicole crosses the state. what the storm is now doing, where it's heading next. it hit as a cat one. >> and possibly the most humiliating setback for vladimir putin as russia prepares for a major surrender. that's next. epares for a major surrender. that's next.

42 after the hour. right now floridians are getting hit by now tropical storm nicole as it moves across the state. >> overnight it made landfall on the state's east coast as a category one hurricane. it comes just six weeks after the state was devastated, of course, by hurricane ian. last hour, governor ron desantis gave an update on this damage. >> impacts have been basically what's been expected. you do have down trees, you have power lines, road washouts, combine winds and storm, we've seen beach erosion in areas that had seen erosion like hurricane ian. after the storm there will be likely flooding in some areas and there may be downed power lines and other hazards. >> joining us now is kerry sanders. kerry sanders, there you go again in such a short period of

time. just describe what's going on there and it's just horrendous. >> reporter: it's so unexpected with a category one. people sometimes get fooled into believing a category one will not be that damaging. i'm going to pull my goggles down. take a look at this video, this is during tropical storm nicole. not the hurricane. as you see, there it goes down. and we are just beyond daytona beach shores and this is where we can see. as you go up and down the coast here, that's the case. we're going to sort of take our camera to the side to show you an area where i have the -- what normally would be a way to walk out to the beach here.

you can see that's been washed away. and as we look at the water here, that is where you would normally be able to drive a car here on the daytona beach area because they have all of these access areas that allow you to drive out onto the beach. we have 180,000-plus people who are without power. right now, there is a condominium just a short distance from here, about a 13-minute drive, where the authorities have gone in and they're asking people, you've got to evacuate. whether you're going to evacuate immediately or evacuate in five minutes, you got to get out. and that is because the foundation underneath looks like it may have been compromised. we had a high tide today, that was at around a little bit before 9:00. for those who live in certain parts of the country, they've heard this term before, the king tide. we had an usually high tied. also because of the melt of what's going on in north poll and greenland.

but that increased tide with the wind blowing in, even a tropical storm force started to send that water undermining through the sand to the foundations. in fact, we had spots where we could see the water coming up in the foundation of some of buildings there. the authorities are down there right now telling people, you got to get out. it wasn't ever safe to be here. you overstayed your welcome anyway. told you to leave yesterday. now they're not kidding around. the real concern, of course, is, you know, it's going to take awhile for the weather to be gone so that things can calm down for a true assessment of what's going on. while this is on the coast, we have, you know, nicole moving through the center part of the state and then moving north. it's not over by any means. even if the gusts are 40 to 50 miles per hour rather than the 75, 76-mile-per-hour winds. not too far from here is the kennedy space center and the artemis launch, they left the

artemis rocket out there. they had 100-mile-per-hour gusts. the launch is supposed to be november 16th. the engineers will be doing checks, checks and rechecks to make sure they can go forward with that. it's been much delayed as you guys know. >> thank you for your reporting as he's been doing for decades so incredibly well. we have this new this morning, the white house says president biden will meet with chinese president xi jingping this monday, november 14th in indonesia as part of his trip to asia. biden says he plans to discuss taiwan when they meet. >> to one of the biggest blows to russian leader vladimir putin, russia announcing a retreat of forces from kherson, a key city in the southern ukraine seized earlier. ukrainian authorities have not confirmed the withdrawal. president zelenskyy suggesting it could be a trap to lure ukrainian forces into battle. >> it comes as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff says more

now are facing defeat? >> stacey abrams i think is in a category of her own because of the operation she built in georgia that democrats are relying on to bring home another senate seat in this runoff. she seems like she would be on a glide path to a plum biden administration post because of her visibility and her success in georgia. beto o'rourke, he has had two big losses in texas. i don't see where he runs again in texas where the apparatus would get behind him for another go around. >> let me throw out a couple of other names. demings, cheney, beasley, ryan. a top democrat suggested to me, watch for tim ryan in the future to run for president. i don't know. do you count these folks out? are many of them maybe the right candidate in the wrong state?

>> what about if we pair up liz cheney and stacey abrams and start talking about universal voting and election reform? i could see them doing a thing with the administration that's bipartisan. that would be exciting. there's definitely an appetite for this movement. there's not one american who has not experienced an election day and said, this is flawed. there has to be a better way. that's one. beto o'rourke, he will be a strong candidate when it comes to being a surrogate for different candidates and raising money. it would encourage folks for tim ryan to say, what did you do well and what did you do wrong? one thing that hurt him was he went on the opposite side of pelosi. i think that's something that one learns what not to do within the establishment. >> they are very good at raising money. beto has been -- and grass-roots

in texas. he has an extraordinary organization there. >> what he did effectively was everybody said it was over. >> republicans are watching liz cheney. she has a lot of money left. she signalled she's not going to go quietly and intends to fight for democracy in this country. >> she might be a presidential candidate. >> one never knows. it's been great having you on this hour. thank you. >> thank you. does that mean our time is up? >> our time is up. >> that does it for us. >> thank you for being with us for this special post-election coverage midterms. >> much more coverage next. nearly 600,000 vehicles passing through their uk port every year.
