then you have to get out and vote for andy barr, a great man. ally i must tell you, kentucky, you are always involved in the middle of politics. the election of andy is a very important thing, it could mean the difference between unbelievable continued success and frankly, failure, where we fight two more years with these people, with these obstructionists, so it is really an important race. it could be the congressman -- we don't have to talk about him anymore. right? we don't have to talk about them but we were talking backstage and they said it, this could be the most important race there is, so get out and vote. we can't let this happen. a majority of house democrats have already signed up for socialist healthcare, by the way, it doesn't work anywhere in the world. it's good if you don't mind waiting like five weeks to see your doctor. they come from socialist countries, they come from canada, because they want to use our doctors. they come from all over the world. and we are making it now better, and they want to destroy everything that has

but andy barr is a former student of mine at the university of virginia.ant people to know he got an "a" in my seminar, campaigns and elections. and he's proven in his career that he deserved that "a." he's done quite well. i don't endorse candidates. i'm simply offering that as a fact. back to the subject. eric: this is not an endorsement, certainly not. i'm an objective man. you get an " a" in your class, you must be doing something right. about what the state assemblies, the state senates, that's where they'll be duking it out, even though the republicans control the majority of them. >> this is what is significant. 6,000 plus state legislative seats are on the ballot. there are only 7,400 state legislative seats in the entire country. so over 80% of all the state legislative seats are being elected this year. it's significant obviously because they pass policies that affect every citizen in those states. but also many of the people elected this year will be around in 2021 when the next redistricting is done after the census. so it has implications goin

you have president trump in there stumping for andy barr tonight. amy mcgrath attracted joe biden the other night. why is this race seen as so pivotal by both partys? >> this race is definitely one to watch right now because we're seeing a republican who is a three-term lawmaker, and he's being challenged by this democrat now that's pulling in the heavy weights here. also a little bit of a litmus test for all the other races around the country right now, that we're seeing a lot more republican enthusiasm to vote following brett kavanaugh's testimony along with dr. ford. that's something that's kind of blow things out of the water for democrats right now. we expected a blue wave and we're seeing that shift now. president trump coming out less than 30 days before the elections could actually make a difference and shift things for republicans. >> democrats have pinned a lot of their hopes on their female candidates in the midterm elections, amy mcgrath is one of the strongest of those. >> yes, and it's definitely one year where we're talking a lot abou
