11:00 am
hey everybody. good afternoon to you. i mean as a north seguin. victory for the democrats. they will in fact remain in control of the u.s. senate. after katherine cortez masto came from behind to take the nevada senate seat today. the candidate basking in the glow of a hard-fought win. >> i will always fight for you no matter what.
11:01 am
because it is about our families. this election, nevadans rejected the referral politicians working to divide us. we rejected the conspiracies, their attacks on our workers and their efforts to restrict our freedoms. >> this now makes the door to runoff getting them a chance for democrats to expand the majority in the senate. an opportunity to pass items of that every single member being -- a potential game-changer for legislation. it's not over yet in the house. democrats still have a path to hold on there as well. they're not giving up. >> whatever the outcome, we're on the path to taking our country to a better place than it's being dragged down by the other side. so we'll see. i'm disappointed of what happened in new york. that four votes could make the difference at the end of the day. but we had not given up. we >> have correspondents covering all of this for us
11:02 am
olivia right to it we. start with senator catherine cortez masto taking will deserved victory lap today after nbc news into that what's called nevada's senate race for the incumbent immigrants which of course gives the party enough votes to retain the majority. want to get right nbc stephanie -- in las vegas nevada. steph, good to talk to you. give us the message we're hearing now from katherine cortez masto after her win. >> the big message is thank you. and she gave her victory speech today here in las vegas. the county that was responsible for putting her over the top. she thanked a number of people specifically. she gave the speech at a union hall. she think the unions. unions are strong in this state particularly in the culinary workers who helped propel her to a victory. also the latinos. she also spoke specifically to being the first latina woman to be elected to the senate back in 2016. talking about how her family would be especially proud now that she has been reelected.
11:03 am
here's a lot more of what she had to say today. >> we've known this was going to be a tough campaign. but like all of you, i'm a nevadan and i know what it takes to deliver for my home state. so in the national pundits said i could win, i knew nevada would prove them wrong. >> people weren't sure that they were going to be proven wrong on election night, you may remember. the republican candidate adam laxalt had 20,000 plus votes on cortez masto. but in this day started processing those mail-in ballots. it took them four days. each night, they drop new votes. each night, that lead was cut down until finally cortez masto overtook him and she was projected the winner. >> as always, steph, we appreciate it. want to go now from nevada to georgia where. a campaign events are happening
11:04 am
today from both candidates in that state senate runoff in just minutes. incumbent raphael warnock is suspected to speak in herschel walker will home ruled his own events later on this afternoon. want to bring in nbc's antonia hylton who standing by for us in nevada. let's talk about the warnock event you're on right now. morehouse college. what is the messaging leading up to the runoff? >> warnock's going to appear here at morehouse. and by side with little baby, a rapper, musical, performer who is popular with a lot of families here. this is a give back a vent where kids are hanging out with, their parents. they're also receiving free bags, free codes for the winter. we're going to hear warnock make a direct message. mostly to those kids parents. the only voting age people here. what we've seen for him so far as this campaign has sort of restarted, kick started is a message that's going to go directly kind of down the middle. some of the people who may not
11:05 am
have voted from the first time around who maybe voted for governor kemp at the top of the ticket. but we're uncomfortable with trump endorsed herschel walker. he's been making a direct sort of pleated them saying over the next couple of weeks, i'm going to try to earn your vote. to me, the person represents georgia. the other thing that we see warnock usually do in these crowds is talk a lot about health care. his work fighting insulin costs. kind of using these regular everyday issues to connect with georgians. and to make sure that they know that this is really his view a georgia focused raced. regardless of especially now with the balance of power in the senate is going to look like. take a listen to some remarks he made in church earlier this morning. >> i'm telling you to go vote. i am not telling you who to vote for. i'm serious, i am not telling you could vote for. i'll tell you that somewhere else, not here. it is more than your civic duty. it is your sacred obligation to
11:06 am
vote. because a vote is a kind of prayer. for the world we desire for ourselves and for our children. >> the war not campaign has been feeling very good over the last couple of days. not just because of the news out of places like nevada. they also feel good because on tuesday, they saw herschel walker underperform other statewide republicans. these are republicans who have less name recognition than walker does. as a famous celebrated football star here. they feel like the wind is at their back. in this new environment, they're positioned well. >> you brought herschel walker. what is ahead for him leading up to the runoff and is there a sense that the campaign is going to keep the president at bay considering what is taking place across the country? >> we know republicans are discussing that right now. the effect that former president trump's potential
11:07 am
announcement on tuesday could have on this race. no major decisions have been made yet. look, the reality is now herschel walker is not gonna be able to go from campaign stop to campaign stop saying that republicans are going to take the gavel back from democrats. so his message has to change. he has to re-energize his base and get back to all those voters. get them back to the polls. the message has to change because his options have changed. what he represents has changed. in terms of his schedule, he is getting that bus back out. and he is going to be on the road a lot this week. you'll see a lot of herschel walker. will very soon get to hear how is he making the argument to voters that they should come out for him a second time. if control of the senate is on the table now yasmin. >> as always, we thank you. let's head to washington if we can. get some reaction there from lawmakers as democrats defy historical trends and held on to the season after nevada won last night.
11:08 am
closely watch how racist could still potentially to control of the house. we're about 20 races remain unsettled. want to go to nbc's -- standing by on capitol hill. talk to us. how are folks they're reacting today after the news out of nevada last night? >> yasmin, as you can imagine, the contrast in reaction between these two parties could not be more stark. you have democrats pushing past even trying to understand how they were able to achieve this victory and push past historical trends. there are political odds. president biden's approval numbers. the state of the economy. then you have republicans on the other hand wondering what went wrong. was it their fund raising numbers. their messaging. most of the fact that former president trump became involved in so many of these candidates races. especially because this isn't over. it's been five days since the midterms. we still don't, as you mentioned, have an answer as to who's going to control the house. there are still nearly two dozen races seats up for grabs.
11:09 am
republicans are looking like they'll hit that to 18 feet threshold to reach the majority. but democrats regardless did better than expected and. so republicans are wondering where this red wave that they were expecting went. we heard from some of them this morning reacting to this news last night that democrats will win the majority for the remainder of these two years of president biden's first term. we heard from republican senator bill cassidy. i want you to take a listen to a bit of what he had to say. >> i learned that the american people want a way forward. that actually focuses on ideas. ideas that will make their lives better. not just their lives for that for future generations. those who are most closely aligned with the former president underperformed. those who are talking about the future, who manage their states well. they overperformed. the american people want ideas. they want a future. >> yasmin, we're also starting to see republican members of
11:10 am
congress react to these midterm losses. by putting some emission against their own leadership. we know that a group of gop senators circulated this letter suggesting that the leadership elections. these closed-door leadership elections where cinnamon or dewy to mitch mcconnell is expected to easily be reelected. they are suggesting those be pushed back until all members are present and they can really figure out what went wrong here. on the house side, you have some members of the freedom caucus, the far-right freedom caucus doubting whether kevin mccarthy should or could be speaker of the house. if republicans are to achieve the majority in that side. all of this to say, the house is still unclear. whether the republicans will achieve the majority. it's still looking like a very interesting conversation on capitol hill. it just leads us to believe the next two years will be quite interesting. >> when you're talking about capitol hill. interesting is putting it lightly. ali refer us as always.
11:11 am
we thank you. want to bring an exodus vehicle reporter -- who's also msnbc political contributor. you can only imagine good -- to see you, by the way up. as to what's going to take place over the next coming weeks as we talk about leadership. if, for instance, republicans take the house. and kind of this pushback that mccarthy is essentially fielding. what do you make of that and what concessions do you think he will feasibly have to make if he wants to be house majority leader if in fact republicans win the majority. >> good to see you too. thanks for having me. it's such a wild week for what we do. i think that's the reality of what kevin mccarthy congressman kevin mccarthy is facing. if he looks ahead and if republicans have a really narrow majority as they look like they will have. that's because the more maga extreme house republicans like congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, for example. or lauren boebert, if she hangs on. a number of other have more
11:12 am
power the. have more power over him. their constituency will be greater relative to the size of the caucus if they want more seats. that's something he's going to have to continue to answer to. you know as well as i did that even weeks before the midterms, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene was saying that she wanted various leadership positions on house committees. folks were saying that she would be granted those roles. so he's going to have to really take hold of what the party looks like. especially heading into 2024. >> you think there's a possibility and mcconnell won't be sentiment already leader? >> i think it's -- mitch mcconnell has some detractors for sure. that certainly happened on the trail. you saw a number republican candidates saying that they wouldn't support him as leader. you now hear some rumblings of senators republican senators saying they're looking for new leadership. that happens in the blame game. now after they didn't do as well as they thought they would. but i think leader mcconnell will continue to push to stay in the position he's and now.
11:13 am
>> let's talk about having last night. democrats officially securing control of the senate. really the reactions that we're hearing on capitol hill from senator cassidy there -- all the way on down as to why it happened. and what americans are really looking for in this election. what do you make of it? >> i think it just goes to show what democrats have been saying this entire cycle. that voters really have cared a lot about abortion. and that's proven in the exit polls for senator cortez masto. a number of folks who rated that is their top issue, she -- overruling majority of them. she also won overruling majority of young voters. people care about these issues that folks were saying when registering the polls as high as the economy and inflation. an issue like abortion is more personal. even more tangible for some people than the economy or. even rising costs. you saw women, democratic women benefit because of that.
11:14 am
you also saw men like john fetterman and pennsylvania directly benefit from the abortion conversation. >> let's stick with us for a moment. you want to piece for actual saying that partisan battles over democracy in abortion rights of the two issues that dominated them aquatic messaging this cycle are shaped at the three level. when you see what's happening across this country and a new incidents were able to secure in places we don't necessarily think would happen. what does that mean for the fight on abortion at the state level? >> democrats were obviously very focused on keeping the senate. and expanding it if they hope to codify roe into law. but now they've made a number of gains at the state legislative level as you were just mentioning. and those issues of abortion democracy are decided at the state. the issue of voting rights. whether and how you can have fair election processes. those are things that your state legislatures are dealing with at any given time. and democrats, their official campaign committees. they're outside groups made early investments in these
11:15 am
races because they knew how important it was to protect the issues of abortion and democracy. governor gretchen whitmer says those issues were quite literally on the ballot in a state like michigan. and now the democrats have a trifecta, control of both states chambers and the governorship is critically important for them. not just for those issues but heading into 2024 when democrats want to ensure a fair election at that too. >> i have to read this one quote, alexei, if i can. talking about the seat that was flipped, that the democrats flipped. it was the call for marie loosen camp perez over maga republican joe can't. talking about how democracy is pushing the idea of saving this democracy is what worked. you have a quote from former gop chair at the state telling msnbc news this, there were three items that suede this year's election. perez is a good candidate, kent is the freaky east of the maga freaks. and the portland suburbs in the
11:16 am
district are swinging slightly to the left. how can, alexei, do you think democrats can seize on this? >> look, democrat groups like the center for american progress and others are already putting out memos and hosting meetings with stakeholders about this very issue. taking credit for starting a campaign last spring, branding republicans as, so, maga republicans. we saw democrats from biden to majority leader chuck schumer to speaker nancy pelosi all backing this message of republicans being these maga extremists. or a constituency of them being maga extremists. that something that they saw success within the cycle, as you're mentioning, with a bunch of election deniers simply not winning in these crucial races. but that is something we will be able to continue, and they plan to continue through 2024. if you think of any number of the republican presidential primary candidates to announce, donald trump, ron desantis,
11:17 am
those issues will still come up. and democrats will be able to keep the maga narrative alive. >> alexei make happen for us. alexei, good to talk to, you thank you. coming up, making history, i will be joined by julia ramirez, the first latina representing illinois in the house. plus, what democrats keep control of the senate means for the future of the judiciary. plus an update on the deadly crash of two world war ii era airplanes at a texas airshow. we'll be right back. l be right back. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love, plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. ever wonder why they call it the american dream... and not the american goal? robitussin. announcer: derek jeter ...or plan? maybe... it's because in dreams, you can do anything. in dreams... you can hold your entire world

new today in dallas, the ntsb has taken over the lead and a deadly midair collision that killed six people. also new, video capturing the moment it all happened. i want to warn you, it is graphic. you are looking at cell phone video of multiple world war ii planes flying overhead during an airshow this weekend. wow. the moment of collision right there. that is when a pea 63 fighter plane flew into a b 17 flying fortress, instantly slicing the bomber into, sending both crashing to the ground. five people were on board the bomber and one in the fighter plane. the ceo of the commemorative air force which owns both plane said they were well maintained that the pilots were volunteers, also highly trained. customs and border protection chief chris magnets has
11:22 am
resigned after initially refusing to step down. mick magnus had been told by homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas to resign or be fired after he clashed with immigration officials on how to handle migrants at the border. magnus had only hold the role since september, troy miller will now serve as the active commissioner effective immediately. i want to turn back to the midterms now, and the impact that democrats maintaining the senate will in fact have on the courts. senate majority leader chuck schumer telling nbc news this. senate democrats have been committed to restoring balance to the federal judiciary with professionally and personally diverse judges. with two more years of a senate democratic majority, we will build on a historic pace of judicial confirmations and ensure the federal bench better reflects the diversity of america. msnbc legal correspondent and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquade is joining us now. barb, as always, it's good to talk to you. tell us how exactly a senate majority now will in fact affect the court over the next two years, going forward.
11:23 am
>> yasmin, retaining the majority in the senate was critically important to being able to confirm judges. if the senate had gone the other, way they could have obstructed every nominee. there's something like 85 vacancies on the federal bench. when we tend to think about the supreme court certainly, but lower courts are just as instrumental in deciding cases. in fact, he might say more instrumental just because of the sheer volume of the cases that they decide. donald trump certainly appointed a lot of judges during his administration. and you heard chuck schumer say there that he just wants to restore confidence to the bench. and president biden has been committed to assuring diversity on the bench, underrepresented minorities and underrepresented professional experiences. like people who've been federal defenders or legal aid, lawyers as opposed to a majority of judges being drawn from large corporate law firms. >> barbara, if we can, i want
11:24 am
to pivot for a moment. i want to talk about what is supposed to happen on tuesday, the possibility of former president donald trump announcing he will be running for president once again. meritt island was asked about this by our own lester holt, especially in relation to the ongoing investigations. let's take a listen to what the attorney general had to say. >> look, we pursue justice without fear or favor. >> so, if donald trump were to become a candidate for president again, that would not change or schedule or how you move forward or don't move forward? >> we will hold accountable anyone who is criminally responsible for attempting to interfere with the legitimate, lawful transfer from one administration to the next. >> barr, that is a public stance. to give the attorney general credit, he has been very consistent on saying this repeatedly, in many different ways and many different forms as well. but how does it kind of, behind the scenes, change things? if you have someone actively been running for president who
11:25 am
is also under investigation by the department of justice? it's our different calculation, when it comes to whether or not he will be held criminally liable? >> i think you have to consider the political sensitivities. not because it changes whether the person committed the crime or the assessment of the evidence, but public confidence matters as well. so, out there are a couple of policies that come into play. one is the doj policy on election interference, prosecutors should never take any steps with a purpose of affecting the outcome of an election. these investigations are already underway, i don't think anyone can fairly say that the purpose of any investigative steps needs investigations to somehow smear a candidate for political office. the fact that this election isn't until two years from, now 2024, i think does not call that policy into play. the other one, we've been hearing reports that the justice department is considering the appointment of a special counsel to investigate trump. i suppose they're some merit to that consideration, because it
11:26 am
is the rival of the boss, there could be a public perception of a lack of fairness in that situation. but i think that in light of the fact that, again, this investigation has been ongoing for sometime, both of them, the january six and mar-a-lago investigations, and because the special counsel ultimately reports to attorney general merrick garland anyway. i don't know that you can insulate yourself from political criticism. barbara mueller certainly got as much public criticism as anybody, despite the fact that he was a special counsel. i don't think there's any requirement to invoke a special counsel here. and i, think at this point, it is probably not necessary and probably would not happen. >> barbara mcquade, as always, great to see you. where's choice, just you this time? >> she is back in alabama, into the chickens today i suppose. >> thanks, barb. coming up, everybody. >> gen z and millennials make up a third of this country, we are nowhere near a third of this country's government. both locally and nationally.

we think we need to change that. >> that is the first gen z or elected to congress, maxwell frost. ahead, we're going to get into what democrats need to do to keep young voters engaged between elections. after the, break the first alina elected to congress from illinois, delia ramirez, on the historic midterms for women and how she plans to make her mark. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. time to switch. connect with a verizon business expert, november 10th through 23rd and get our best offers of the year on business internet. plus, a complimentary tech check to find the right tech for your team. call or click to book an appointment. help your business stay ahead with the reliable connection and coverage your business deserves. at verizon small business days. from the network america relies on. verizon.

11:32 am
about this here, yasmin. last, night we did see the consequential ballots, the mail ballots ended on tuesday. really, the trench ballots that will give us an indication of where this election was headed. and in, fact last night, those transient ballots, nearly 80,000 of those, did give us an idea of where the election is headed. and it's headed to a showdown, one that is expected to be very close. that, said going into the night, my number i have is about 53% of the ballots that were being dropped or released last night. terry lake was going to have to win, in order to be able to make the case that she would potentially be able to catch up to katie hobbs and make up this gap. she ended up winning 58.1% of them. so, she is under where she needs to be. that, said the expectation is we're going to be seeing thousands more ballots released here tonight, i want to let you hear from maricopa county board of supervisors chairman bill gates here. because others suggesting that the ballots that have been released so far have been skewed more to the left, these
11:33 am
are coming more from democratic areas of maricopa county. as opposed to republican ones. take a listen to the board of supervisors chairman. >> and, and this issue about selecting certain votes to report, let me be very clear about this again. faye faux, first in, first out. that's how we do this, we're not picking them from certain parts of town. in fact, we can't do that because we have a vote center model. let's say we have someone who lives in gilbert but they work in surprise, they go to the center in surprise on their lunch hour. where is that from? okay, that's my point. so, it is a relevant and it is an incredible distraction. for people who i guess are following this, it's not a distraction for our folks. it's not a distraction for me, quite frankly, they're trying to make it a distraction but it's not. >> yasmin, however, it is what we are all looking at.
11:34 am
that is the question here. because the only way that kari lake is getting back into this race as of these latest batches to skew more to the right. but even, then with the last two nights results not coming out in favor or their expectations, nbc's next batches are going to have to be that much more favorable to them. the math of getting very difficult for kari lake, we should also note. if this race does get within half a percentage point, it will go to an automatic recount that would not start until next month. >> when it's the next batch release, vaughn? >> we're expecting more like in the six, seven, 8 pm local hour tonight. so, after sundown here this evening, we should get a better idea. >> got it. vaughn hillyard for us, as always, thanks for sticking with it, van. women played a historic role in these midterm elections. not just as voters but as candidates. come january, all 50 states are going to have sent a woman to congress after voters and vermont, the final holdout, elected backup beilin. she will also be the first
11:35 am
openly gay person to represent her state as well. meanwhile, a record 12 states will be led by female governors, including the three states, arkansas, new york and massachusetts, who elected women to the position for the very first time. can you believe that it's taken this long? also making history, delia ramirez. who's decisive victory in illinois's congressional district means she will serve as the states first latino member of congress and representative elect. ramirez is joining me now. hey, congratulations! how incredible is this? wow, couple days in, right? >> couple days in, i'm still pinching myself a little. it is surreal. but i'm incredibly honored and so excited to be serving as the first latina in illinois, but the entire midwest. >> it's really incredible, and i can't believe it's taken this long. i do know that you're currently in washington, from what i understand. already had meetings with the congressional progressive caucus.
11:36 am
we don't necessarily know who's going to have the majority in the house as of yet. dems could still very much have majority, but we don't know. i know chair jayapal is saying it's going to be the most progressive, as she says, democratic caucus in decades. how are you all planning for either outcome? whether dems are in control of the house or republicans. >> yeah, we actually had a presser just a few minutes ago. so, congresswoman and leader jayapal, our chairwoman, was asked exactly that question. first, let me tell you that that runaway didn't happen, the red wave. if, in fact, they end up in the majority, it will be the majority by a couple of seats. that means they won't be able to go as radical extremist as they expect or want to. in some cases, they may have to actually work with us to a certain extent. with that said, congresswoman jayapal could've said it better. we're not going to be the caucus of complete opposition,
11:37 am
if in fact they are going to want to do things for working families, we want to be working with them in proposition. there's things to deliver. >> i know the progressive caucus is actually growing, you are now going to be a member of this squad of the progressive caucus. do you feel as if you are going to have even more outsized influence in the house of the issues that you guys care the most about? >> absolutely. look, i'm walking in here, yes, in 2022, becoming another latina in congress. there will be now i think 16 of us, there were only 13 prior to november 8th. now we will be 16. but i'm also the wife of a daca recipient. i'm the only member of congress coming in in a mix family. for my husband's and eyes honey moon, we couldn't leave the country. you're saying there's a number of members coming in here who's experience of the things they're fighting for other things impacting their personal,

life their own family. immigration, working class, health care, housing, inflation. these are things that our own families, our own neighbors, our own friends are directly impacted by every day. you will see, that as we build this voting, block we have a personal reason to ensure that this actually moves that needle and that we have the political will and the strategy to move forward. >> is that why you chose to run for congress? >> for me, it's personal. my mother is on medicaid, she is 61 years old at a home care worker and cannot afford health care. she's diabetic. my husband is a mixed status daca recipient. this is exactly what i hear and see every single day. when i knocked on doors, people said, you expand health care status in the state of illinois regardless of status, you passed legislation for the biggest state of illinois.
11:39 am
you need someone like us who understands it personally to build on that work in congress. that is a mandate, that when i won my primary and won by general election, was expected of me and what i must do here. >> in addition to, that we saw from exit polls, abortion the top issue for women going into this election. i'm wondering if you feel as if we underestimated how much abortion would drive folks to the polls. and what can really be done. >> i think we did. look, you heard republicans and political operatives keep saying, when it comes to abortion, it's not an issue in the latino community, actually downplaying it. but what you saw, first of all, there was no latino red wave. it didn't come. a latina democrats have just entered congress, from gen z, the youngest, to the first latina in the midwest, to the first openly gay, formerly undocumented in congress. we came and not just as latinos, as progressive latinos. so, we unapologetically ran
11:40 am
under standing that abortion is health care, and people underestimated how incredibly important that issue is to every day people, people of color. and that our communities understand the impact it would have if we didn't have us here fighting for making sure we codified roe v. wade. >> representative-elect delia ramirez of illinois. again, you're already killing it, congratulations. and thank you so much for joining us this, our good luck to you ahead. >> thank you for having me. >> coming up, everybody. for the first time since taking office, president biden's meeting with china jinping tomorrow. with the positive midterms for the democrats mean for biden's power and positioning on the global stage. we'll be right back. l be right back. coverage is here to make medicare easy... even easier than those dances your grandkids love doing with you. ok, i got it.

11:45 am
leader chuck schumer and said that now all eyes are turning to that runoff in georgia. take a listen. >> congratulations to senator schumer, he's got a majority again. we're focusing now on georgia, we feel good about where we are. i know i'm a cock-eyed optimist, i understand that from the beginning. but i'm not surprised by the turnout, i'm incredibly pleased by the turnout. i think it's a reflection of the quality of our candidates. and they're all running on the same program. >> yeah, so, you hear the president, they're basically saying that all democrats, wasn't a democrat who didn't run on the policies that he enacted in his first two years in office. as for the house and that optimism the president was speaking to, the president said that he is optimistic there but everything would essentially have to break in democrats
11:46 am
favor, yasmin. >> as we are anticipating what was going to take place in the midterms, there is this conversation as to whether or, not if in fact election deniers work to win, what would that say about american overseas and about american democracy? yet that, in fact, did not happen, seems like it was a repudiation against the idea of election denialism and all that is donald trump. with that in mind, as we look ahead, of course was meeting that the president is going to be having with china's leader xi jinping. what can we expect? >> well, a number of things. look, this is the first time that president biden, president xi have sat down face to face since biden took office. the white house is setting expectations really low for what is going to come out of this meeting, yasmin. essentially they're saying, look, this is an opportunity for these two leaders to exchange, ideas figure out where each other stands on a whole litany of issues. things that have been tensions and their relationship, areas where they may be able to
11:47 am
cooperate. like climate, change north korea will be a discussion, taiwan, trade, a whole host of issues. we heard the president say that they're trying to figure out where each other's red lines are and move from their. where does this relationship go? that a real low, point the lowest in decades. so, the administration is trying to put it on a more level footing and reduces tensions. at the same, time the president is under political pressure at home to be tougher on china. so, he's got to figure out how to balance that. we will get some sense of how this meeting goes shortly after it concludes. the president is going to hold a news conference, we'll be able to ask a number of questions there, yasmin. >> carol lee, i'm hopeful, seeing as you're in bali, that you get to do some yoga and surfing in your downtime. i, mean you can't be in a better -- >> will see. >> we'll see. carol lee for us, thank you. up next, everybody. gen z showing up in full, forest issues that drove young people to the polls in record numbers. but how do democrats keep them

11:52 am
matter to this generation, that what does the democratic party need to do to keep their support? joining me now is alisha heed, spokesperson for justice democrats. which hasn't 11 progressives to congress, including aoc and jamal bowman. thank you for joining us on, does appreciate it. i know that you organize for bernie sanders as, well you've been working with young voters for sometime. what are some of the big issues you feel drove on voters to the midterms polls? >> people forget that but some of the biggest movements have had were led by young people on social media, especially gen z millenniums. sometimes that means they're protesting, democrats with occupy wall street that was a large part of, that he climate stuff, the sunrise movement when they did the sit-in at nancy pelosi's office calling for a green new deal. that resulted years later with, big bold climate administration legislation from the biden
11:53 am
ministration, that really from president biden. all those, things i, think what two young people having more confidence in the biden administration and democrats. as long as, i think, democrats continue to appeal with young people with concrete policies that affect their lives, they'll be motivated to turnout. >> as outside the supreme court with overturn, overthrow and the two things i heard over and over again where abortion, writes what will democrats be able to do about abortion rights? i heard that from young people across the board, there were so many young people out there. and then it was, of course, student debt relief. we know where we are on student relief right now, it's in the courts. , so it has kind of been stop to a certain extent. but the fact that the biden administration came through, to a certain extent, on student debt, relief came through on the promises that joe biden made in campaigning for president. do you think that was major for young voters? >> definitely. all over tiktok when that happened, there were tons of videos of just young people being extremely happy that they were getting ten to $20,000 of their education debt canceled, given relief.
11:54 am
especially in the pandemic, where we've had youth unemployment always higher than just normal unemployment. and people need that, cash especially with inflation they want that cash in their pockets. so, my advice to democrats is, they get upset when young people raised voices sometimes about abortion rights or climate -- >> you think they do? you think democrats get upset about that? >> joe biden kicked his feet for a long time about giving the education relief, it was only from the pressure from students and young people that made that happen. >> you don't think it was a political play, that he wanted to do it in august, three months before the midterms? >> we heard whispers he was never going to do anything at all. there is a lot of pressure from people in the white house and outside the white house who thought it was a really stupid idea to give, cancel this student debt. people thought it is unfair to people who didn't go to college. but at the end of the day it drove voters to the, poll because they wanted to see, more there are thankful and grateful for what they got and they will continue to put pressure on the administration to deliver on things like
11:55 am
voting, rights codify roe v. wade. and all the other things that the biden ministration still hasn't been able to -- >> i think it's also incredible. because, as someone who has worked overseas for a long, time you really saw political activism among young people in other countries, but let's say early in this country as much. now, you're seeing more political activism amongst the younger generation. like we have never seen before. but the, numbers they're not huge. when we talk about gen z turnout, 27% turned out for the 2022 midterms, that's one in four 18 to 29 year olds. but comparatively to a couple years ago, that's a lot. >> it is a lot. and as groups like justice democrats alike more people from gen z and millennials to office, you're going to see those numbers go up. because you will see voters flock to the leaders on the party that speak to them. it is unfortunate that there was this back and forth with sean patrick maloney and aoc this past week, where he said he hadn't seen aoc on the campaign trail. but they don't effectively deploy aoc to make those numbers go up, to be honest. i think many more young voters would come out if they saw more
11:56 am
leadership that reflected their generation in the party. >> you feel as though they should be able to make those decisions, to play someone like aoc, to areas in which we can really drive out the vote? >> she was doing it on her own. but the party itself. >> the party backing, sure. >> she is the most popular leader amongst our generation. >> waleed shahid, thank you so much, really fascinating stuff. >> thank you. >> coming up in our next hour, everybody. the state of play of leadership in the house, and leadership struggles in the gop as kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell face a tough road ahead. we'll be right back. l be right back. kevin! kevin! kevin? oh nice. kevin, where are you... kevin?!?!?.... hey, what's going on? i'm right here! i was busy cashbacking for the holidays with chase freedom unlimited. i'm gonna cashback on a gingerbread house! oooh, it's got little people inside! and a snowglobe. oh, i wished i lived in there. you know i can't believe you lost another kevin. it's a holiday tradition! that it is! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited. ♪
