6:03 am
have been monitoring the election since election day say the numbers hold up and they don't see a bay for fimian to make up the difference in a recouldn't. this would be his second loss to connelly. in 2008 he lost by a much larger margin, 12 points. connelly has claimed victory. he did that at his election night rally. he is gearing up to serve his second term in congress. that makes him one of four democratic lawmakers in the state of virginia to survive the twin midterm elections. now, i know many of you are wondering when and where will this possible concession be taking place? all we know is it will likely take place sometime later today. the fimian camp has said they will be issuing a statement later this morning. mike? >> okay. we know that congressman connelly was hospitalized over the weekend. have we heard about his condition now? >> we have. his campaign actually released a statement yesterday evening. they are saying that late last week, after the election was over, connelly went in for a regular checkup and while he
6:04 am
was there he experienced some december comfort. they took him to the hospital and while he was there he was treated for a pretty serious condition. he was treated for a blood clot in an artery. he is now reportedly doing just fine. he's been released from the hospital and apparently he even stopped by his campaign's election headquarters before he ever went home. so connelly's campaign is certainly saying that he is recovering and looking forward to getting back to serving the people of virginia. back to you. >> thank you, kristin. kristin is live on captiol hill this morning. so here's a look at the balance of power in the house coming this november. right now the republicans have 239 seats after gaining 60 in the midterm election. democrats with 188, including cram connelly's seat. there are still, though, eight races which have not been called yet. while you slept the white house made a change to the president's overseas trip. >> we learned the president will likely cut short his visit to indonesia because of concern of the possibility of a volcano

6:17 am
perspective of both the pimp and the john and the girls. and how it really affects and impacts them and how many people actually get converted. because you can come out of the life or but a lot of people return and that's why the safe house is important and the renewal and therapy that we present because a lot of people are not rehabbed and institutions are missing the actual part that impact human traffic use versus any other youth that maybe in a detention home or arrested for another crime. >> if you would like more information about the fund- raiser for the safe house, go to our wb at wusa9.com. andrea mccarren will continue her special special report on child sex trafficking in our area. bianca's mother will share her story searching the streets for her daughter missing more than three years. now check in with howard. we wise a good start to the
