i think there are a few things about amy klobuchar that i like.n minnesota. she ran for senate this past time around, she won by a larger margin percentage point eyes than liz warren won in massachusetts. minnesota is more towards the center of the electorate than massachusetts is. clearly amy klobuchar is doing something very right in the eyes of the midwest voters. she did a very good job during the last supreme court nomination hearings with brett kavanaugh, so that was very key, and i think she plays in some way. if you talk to some people in washington they are skeptical of this. i was talking to one of our colleagues he said she should be all the way down at ten. she's playing well with voters and that i think is what's most important. >> speaking of someone who is a ten, beto o'rourke is at ten. >> let's take a look at the second part of our list. we see bernie sanders who ran last time around, newel yan castro, steve bullock, sherrod brown who won reelection midwest and beto o'rourke who is at number ten. there are going to be people runni

senate, amy klobuchar of the state of minnesota.st generalist viewers, thank you for joining us, first off. they are seeing you for the first time, perhaps, since the kavanaugh hearings. before we talk about the politics of tonight, i'm curious, have you been surprised to see how much traction the other party has gotten out of the kavanaugh hearings every night, rally after rally? we hear the president's talking point that a good man was mistreated. >> well, rallies are one thing, brian, but votes are another. and it is true that they have been trying to play this issue out. but what i hear from minnesotans is they want to talk about people getting kicked off their insurance for pre-existing conditions. the price of prescription drugs. as you've seen over time, the people of america have realized, whether they agreed or not, he got on the court. and for them to keep using this as an issue, i think you're seeing with independent voters, especially in a lot of our congressional district votes in minnesota, this issue is not determinat

the senior senator from minnesota right now is amy klobuchar. she did not have a difficult race this year. nbc news has projected that she will be returning to the senate. and again, that was an easy one. the second minnesota senate race is the one that was just too early to call there. that's tina smith. she holds the seat that was held by democrat al franken until he resigned from that seat. tina smith is facing a challenge from karen housley right now. tina smith is an incumbent, though she has never before run for this seat. she was appointed to fill that seat. minnesota one of the only states where we have both seats up. >> we have two pieces of business. tennessee senate i'm told we're going to get an update live from the control room. blackburn wins. she has turned away bredesen in the tennessee senate race, both parties fought hard for this one, but our projection is when it's all counted, all said and done, marsha blackburn will represent the united states senate. remember, this is a net hold for the republican party. this is the corker

so, how do they save her seat or do other members of the committee like cory booker or amy klobucharuldn't be too disappointed, but that's a good one for chuck schumer. senator harris went in anticipating she could lose her seat and told him she wants to stay on the committee. she is interested in the issues and it's become such a platform for her during the major confirmation hearings. there is a number of ways democratic leaders could save her seat. one is begging mitch mcconnell to add a new seat that doesn't seem likely for now. >> he wants to help them. >> that are doesn't seem to be an option, but democrats are crossing their fingers. another option that may be more likely is to lure the senior members to another committee such as a senate finance committee that has two vacancies. a lot of democrats really like the work on the committee. it's going to be hard for chuck assumer to convince one of them to leave. >> all these democrats position themselves for 2020 and how they position themselves against each other trying to one up each other and trying to promote themselves and v

and amy klobuchar as well? thank you. >> ok, the question is basically, 2020, will there be a republican challenger to president trump in the primaries? and he also asked about the scene,candidates on the amy klobuchar, kamala harris and cory booker. what chances they would have for the nomination. that is a broad canvas to paint on. frank, why don't you start. , there is a number of people that have been discussed as possible primary challengers to the president, i think you have probably heard most of their names. former governor john kasich of ohio, former senator jeff flake, the fellow, ben sasse, the senator from nebraska, although he would have to give up his -- he is 14, so he would have to give up his senate seat, but he is a very principled, articulate guy. so those are three possible. i think it is fair to say that as of right now, the president would be a heavy favorite for renomination. >> how about on the democratic side? >> it goes back to what jeff was saying about character. there is this really

that could be a potential campaign spending violation and something that amy klobuchar mentioned as shewing the regulations, if any, we should place on entities like facebook. >> for schumer did what he is reported to have done and this is good reporting, that is something that under cuts everything you just described. the democrats and the senate and congress needs to be doing. is it appropriate to take it easy on facebook? >> not at all. you are presuming that somehow whatever conversations he had to that -- to what you are saying has a kind of an effect. i don't know that it had. i was at the hearing when zuckerberg came to testify. it wasn't clear to me anyway what kind of appropriate regulation there should be. it was an open question. now i think we need to revisit that issue. >> even if the conversations did go on, you don't think facebook got an easy ride? >> it certainly had no impact where i was with what might be an appropriate regulation. it's not easy to figure out what regulation should happen. in this environment. we also want to make sure that people have access to this

it's possible that people like kamala harris, amy klobuchar, also elizabeth warren.see her standing up for kitchen table issues with regard to financial communities, too big to fail, health care, those are issues that work so well for democrats this year in the midterms. >> martha: it's interesting, charlie, the president had mike pence stand up saying, you are going to be my vice president's running mate, right? it is going to be a question of not, perhaps they might want to have a woman on the ticket. i'm not suggesting anyone has indicated it's not going to stay the same, but that's going to be an issue for them. >> i do think one of the interesting things out of these midterms is when you look at races like richard cordray in ohio who is a big fan favorite of elizabeth warren and you look at some of these other places, i know we have not made a decision about andrew gillum, but those are very progressive candidates and they didn't do as well as her but he said they would and i think it's because of the issues. that strain of democratic politics isn't a winner thi
