archie parnell is sort of like your uncle. probably going to have a hard time because he's a democrat and he's running in a pretty red district in south carolina. i don't think goldman sachs will stop people from voting for him. just the fact that there are a lot of republicans down there. theie: and that is actually more interesting race to watch. we are all watching georgia because of the money that was carolinatheir, but the one is more indicative for next year? vonnie: you are right. ssof inll eyes are on o georgia, i think that if archie parnell can win in the fifth -- alarm that will bells will be ringing in washington. not just because it's another goldman sachs guy. vonnie: people are seizing on this as a trump referendum, but is it, though? is that too much of a leap? be straightd just and say that a not sure if archie will win tomorrow. his own numbers show that he cuffed cut his deficit -- that he cut his deficit from 16 to 10, but it's still down. you have to be realistic. it will most certainly be a very bad sign -

talk about archie parnell.g thing going on in the united states tomorrow is a hugelyd -- ossof, popular race in georgia. not too far away in south carolina, archie parnell is up in a different congressional race. there aren't that many special elections this year, only, like, half a dozen big elections left. if archie parnell can pull it off, it will be huge. it's the seat that belonged to mick mulvaney. it's the seat that belong to frank underwood on "house of cards." julia: how well are these guys going to do? what is it about goldman sachs means there is a natural path to washington for them? max: i'm not sure archie parnell's biggest problem is golden snacks -- goldman sachs. north carolina voted for democrats for a full century until mick mulvaney come -- came along. they redrew it, some people call it gerrymandering, so it's harder to win now. go to as why goldmanites washington, not only do have gary cohn, steven mnuchin, and gary powell working for trump, don't forget that bill clinton had a treasury se

ralph norman is favored over archie parnell in a race that has also been a lot about president trump. >> i appreciate what donald trump is done. i support the president and i want to bring his message to the fifth district of all that he's accomplished great he's done a great job. started off right with neil gorsuch and he's continuing in the economy and what he's doing for business. >> the only thing i can agree with my opponent about is the fact that we are so starkly different. he has given president trump a grade of a+ plus. i cannot agree with that. it's the one we will have the results tonight on our election special, 11:00 p.m. eastern. what do you think? do you think the special elections are that important? let me know on twitter at @bretbaier. use the hashtag #specialreport. or on facebook at facebook.com/bretbaiersr. we will have the results at 11:00 p.m. eastern. news overseas, a russian warplane armed to the teeth came way too close for comfort to an american reconnaissance plane over the baltic sea yesterday. it's the latest escalation in the skies over and near syria. j

republican ralph norman eked out a narrow victory over democratic challenger archie parnell. norman won only 51% of the vote -- a smaller margin than expected. we'll have more on the georgia and south carolina races after headlines. in news from capitol hill, attorney general jeff sessions has become the latest member of trump's inner circle to hire a personal lawyer amid the ongoing investigations into the trump administration's ties to russia. vice president mike pence and trump himself have also hired personal lawyers. on tuesday, special counsel robert mueller met with members of the house intelligence committee to discuss a plan to ensure that their parallel investigations don't conflict with one another. also on tuesday, white house press secretary sean spicer told reporters trump will make an announcement this week about whether the president taped any of his conversations with former fbi director james comey. last month in a twitter rant, trump threatened comey over the possibility of taped conversations, tweeting -- "james comey better hope that there are no 'tapes'

the democratic candidate in the race is archie parnell. this is a significant portion of the vote in here, 71% of the vote in. but it's a three-point race between them. again this was a district that trump won by 18 points. right now with 71% of the vote in, the republican in that race is only winning by three points. now it's an interesting district. republican mick mulvaney held that seat comfortably for, i think, three terms. but before him, as recently as 2010, this seat in south carolina, house district 5 was held by a democrat named john separat sprat. it has been a sleeper race compared to what is really the marquee event tonight. this is the race in suburban atlanta, georgia's 6th district. this is the seat that was previously held by donald trump's controversial health secretary, tom price. now democrats in contrast to that south carolina race, democrats have thrown in as much as they could to try to help their democrat candidate in georgia 6, john of of. running against republican georgia former secretary of state karen handle. t
