i think this is another state where trump wins big and bayh may have a problem.isconsin is a new one on the list. we essentially have given this want to democrats in september because senator ron johnson had trailed him and just about every poll. over the past seven days it has been interesting to see. sometimes instead of following the poll numbers, follow the money. democrats went in first and surprised a lot of people by spending $2 million in last-minute ads. republicans followed them and they put up $2 million in after-tax feingold. we finally saw a poll and that race looks even. i would still put one on the scale for feingold but it is a tossup. steve: let's take a look at nevada, a state where republicans hoping for a pickup with the retirement of the democratic leader, senator harry reid. what is your assessment of that race? jennifer: that has been an interesting race. the republican joe heck has been doing well. when the access hollywood take came out he walked away from trump. he unendorsed him. that angered a lot of republicans in the state which did

evan bayh, democrats admit he bayh moved out of his district in indiana, asked his address, could not remember it, had not been back to the state very much and todd young called him on it loudly and often in commercials and todd young, fox news projects wils pick up the open senate seat in the state of indiana. not a pickup for republicans, it was an open seat held by a republican previously. polls have now closed in the state of arkansas. arkansas for the republicans, for the presidential race, closed at 8:30 eastern time, 7:30 central. arkansas too close to call. solid republican throughout. arkansas not called yet. kentucky senator rand paul republican presidential candidate himself before dropping out of the race in february. he's with us now live from louisville. senator, fox news projects you congratulations. how do you and yours begin to put things back together with the republican party? it appears the senate is very much in question. republicans could lose it. could you be a leader in put things back together? >> i think so. kentucky, a huge republican sweet, biggest victory

t-vs with ads to counter bayh. the democrat had given up the seat six years ago to leave politics... and before governor. young had served in congress for three terms before this race. congress will stay under republican control... with republicans holding 51 senate seats... and democrats at 47. with a republican congress... and republican president... all eyes will be turning to the judicial branch - where the late justice antonin scalia's seat has yet to be filled. and the republican victories don't stop there. now - the last democratic state red as well. republicans took control of kentucky's state house for the first time in more than 95 years... winning 62 out of 100 seats. for the latest poll results... and campaign victory or concession speeches... head to our website... fox 6 now dot com... or your fox 6 news mobile app... and click on "links." anchors chat and toss to rob rob's weather forecast from fox6 chief meteorologist rob haswell high pressure takes over today giving us sunshine and keeping temperatu

bayh told cnn nothing untoward happened. in the midwest yesterday hillary clinton campaigned in cincinnati with former governor ted strickland. incumbent republican rob portman has a nearly 15-point advantage in the real clear politics average and strickland faces the longest of shots. in wisconsin the polls have tight right-hand side there but democrat russ feingold is still holding on to a nearly 7-point advantage in the rcp average. a super pac ad backing incumbent republican ron johnson all but acknowledges hillary clinton will be the next president. they're warning this has some colorful language. >> are you sick of all the political bs in this election? ready for it to be over? enough of the crap. when democrats controlled everything in washington, it was, well, ghetto. career politician russ feingold was there. terrorism. job losses. and premiums 25% higher with obamacare. feingold just votes the party line. that's why we need ron johnson. to cut the crap and keep hillary clinton and the washington politicians from ru

evan bayh, trying to get his seat back. we're going to be watching very closely. and now places where the polls have not yet closed but numbers coming in. marco rubio, who is running for reelection is up pretty significantly but only 2% of the vote. he's up by more than 60,000 voits. watching that very closely. and then another marquee race. this could determine whether or not republicans keep the senate. incumbent kelly ayotte is trying to hold on to that defeat her democratic challenger. maggie hassan there. only 1% in. one we're going to be watching incredibly closely all night long. let's look at the balance of power this hour. 37 for democrats. 32 for republicans and 31 of the races that we're watching still not yet called. so some of the ones we just called were not big surprises. still important for one democrat and two republicans to get in their column. indiana to me is absolutely fascinating because the democrats thought they could make that competitive by running somebody who's name is incredibly popular and well known in evan bayh but it is unclear if

the democrats did not nominate evan bayh. they picked a guy named baron hill. after the primary was over, he stepped aside so evan bayh because they thought he would be a shoo-in but evan bayh losing to todd young. >> you can't go home again. >> and if you do go home, remember your home address. >> yes, making that point. and i think the word lobbyist is bad here. he went off and became a lobbyist. we'll see that impact perhaps the race in missouri for roy blunt because his family is loaded with lobbyists. i think the country, whatever trump does, he has benefited from this anti-washington feeling. anybody who looks like too washington right now in terms of deals -- i think the word lobbyist has become terrible politically, just tie that to somebody and they're finished. >> watching these senate races right now, there's a lot of interesting personal stories. a lot of interesting political stories. again, we don't have calls in missouri or in new hampshire or in pennsylvania at this point. >> the other thing is the thing about being a senator, and it's hard to s

evan bayh, a former two-term senator. former this is a real blow to the democrats hopes to take the senate. >> it is. getting senator bayh back into office was a key part of taking the majority. this loss means that pathway is tougher. there's still a shot, but it is getting tougher. >> but you know, this also makes missouri a race to watch, because blunt is the evan bayh of missouri. >> and he's the republican in missouri. >> and he's a republican, so, person that's -- jason kander, made his name in the last several months. >> todd young, the challenger, ran a classic -- the democrats recruited evan bayh, chuck schumer did it personally, and they thought this was great, get a two-term governor and two-term senator back. they recruited a de facto incumbent and allowed the republican to run the challenger race for a republican seat. and young was behind and gained 15 points in the last two >> evan bayh got hit for staying in a hotel room instead of his parent wh apartment -- >> if only that worked on the presidential level

in indiana, senator evan bayh who was coaxed to run for another term. with about 40% voting, congress todd young. in kentucky, another republican candidate for the .compresidential nomination, senator rabid paul has been declared the winner in that state with 55% of the vote reporting and in georgia, where senator johnny isaacson speaking another term challenged by jim barks dame. only 1% reporting. all of these results available on our website c-span.org. >> we'd like to hear from you throughout the night as we listen to result and listen to candidates' victory speeches. mocrats can call is, 202-747-8920. epublicans, 202-747-7 it will 921. and independents. you can also send us a message on twitter. use our c-span handle but also use the hashtag election night. amy is joining us from clinton headquarters at the javis convention center in new york city. she is a biographer of hillary clinton and is the chief white house correspondent for the hill newspaper and has been on the campaign trail. amy, let's start with the sense from the clinton campaign goin

of the scorched earth policy, there's an old quote from senator everett dirkson that senator evan bayhold me once that in ort to become a statesman i first must be elected. so we'll see if donald trump makes the transition from tough fighter, you know, pugilistic style of campaigning, into a statesman. >> yeah. >> a lot of people who have faith in him. >> it's a powerful speech. >> a lot who don't. >> from donald trump. >> john roberts, live for us. >> thank you, john. >> meanwhile, hillary clinton a no-show for supporters, but she did call trump to concede after a hard-fought campaign. fox news senior political correspondent mike emanuel is live for us in brooklyn. good morning. >> heather, abby, good morning to you. hillary clinton, according to a campaign aide, will speak later this morning, and i'm told that we will get details when they are set. the last time we saw hillary clinton was after she voted at the local elementary school in chappaqua, new york, yesterday morning. clinton described voting for herself as the most humbling feeling, because she knows the responsibility that

there evan bayh facing off against todd young. it has been a difficult ride for evan bayh to say the at least. they thought they might win just off his name recognition. it's been much closer than people have thought. now we'll look at the balance of power in the united states senate. this is going to be crucial for whoever wins the white house. you need at least one house to try to get some things done. looks like the house is going to stay reliably red republican tonight. the senate is another matter entirely. democrats need to flip five seats. take away five seats now controlled by republicans to win the thing, and it's possible. here's another interesting part. the democrats only need four seats if clinton wins because the vice president is the tie breaker, the president pro tem of the senate is the vice half hour away from the next polls closing, including two critical battleground states. at 7:30 eastern time, 4:30 pacific, ohio and north carolina close. from ohio and north carolina we'll begin to learn a lot. the thinking a

in indiana evan bayh trying to get his seat back. those are the races we will watch carefully. we look at the electoral map throughout the night. jonathan: a lot of close races going on tonight. our area has a congressional race that many believe could be the litmus test for the way it will swing. the virgi jeff goldberg is joining us live from falls chunk where the democrats have gathered. >> we expect hundreds to be here in falls church tonight. here is video from today. we caught up with the democrat luann bennett in herndon talking to the voters out there. she knows it is a close race but she feels confident she will win. clinton's popularity will help her. comstock, barbara comstock the incumbent republican is a known name in virginia politics when it comes to northern virginia. she hopes being the incumbent will help her win a separate term. in ashburn we caught one terry mcauliffe firing up democrats as they are getting out there in the field to drum up support for the democratic ticket including hillary clinton and tim kaine. i am joined by governor mcauliffe. we will t

evan bayh and it's historic in indiana and he said i will run for my own senate seat.d problems with the robbieing ties and residency questions and the idea that he has potomac fever. he is in a world of trouble. this is a ripe possibility for republicans. the republican incumbent is being challenged by the senator. republicans bad me in need to win it if they want to hold on. you have burr the incumbent and he may be in better shape than he looked about two weeks ago. an opportunity from the democrats. maybe it comes down to missouri. missouri and donald trump looks like he will win easily, but sort of the same thing you see from evan bayh. if there is that insider thing that hurts reporters, a lot of them go way back. that gives the democrats the senate. maybe republicans hold on to the senate. i don't know what will happen, but the senate race is tomorrow night and this is going to be close. this is going to be something to keep an eye on as the returns come in across the country. which party walks away with control of the senate? one thing we are watching tomorrow

former senator evan bayh, a democrat in a tight race with republican congressman todd young. democrats are hoping to pick that up. polls just closed in north carolina. richard burr, a 20-year republican veteran of congress. locked in a very tight deborah ross. another seat democrats are hoping to pick up. now, to florida, rubio looking to headlined on to his senate seat. he entered the race late, you will remember, after his president presidential campaign ended. he's facing congressman patrick murphy. polls close in florida at the top of the hour. control of the senate really hanging in the balance. of course, we'll be watching the results come in all night. one of those states that's in two time zones so that's why they are two closing times. we're down to fewer than 15 minutes until pose close. some states have already closed and we'll start to see those results as they roll in especially by 8:00 when the greater numbers come in. >> janet is back with a democratic analyst and republican analyst rob gray. >> my first question is, abc news did exit polling. 24% of the people

in 1969 was the biggest effort by senator bayh who is evan bayh's father and it was after the 1968 election there was an effort to reform it. it didn't work -- >> why, who wants it? >> constitutional amendment -- >> i know. you can do it. constitutional amendment is tough -- >> liberal. often it's a liberal cause. the idea that we need a popular system. and we need to empower these bigger states. otherwise it's bias toward more conservative states and after 2000 you had a more bipartisan interest in it. after the -- >> so why didn't they fix it after that? >> it's the kind of issue on polls most people support a different kind of system. popular vote. but it's not an issue people vote on. people on bread and butter issues and there's not a lot of pressure to get that amendment through. >> i had an interesting tweet from donald trump. this was after mitt romney's loss in 2012, donald trump tweeted, the electoral college is a disaster for democracy. >> right. that's now all over the place. but it benefited him this time. and that's part of -- >> he lost if he did it -- >> there was a moment i

evan bayh, democrats admit he

washington insider, which is really who evan bayh is.f months ago, a tough map. you talk about the real clear average. if every senator ahead wins in that average, republicans end up with 52 seats. so this is definitely much better than where they thought they were going to be a while ago. we're going to see, as it closes here, i like ron johnson closing hard in wisconsin. richard burr, he's made some mistakes in north carolina. but his opponent, a clu lobbyist, probably too far left to the state. she ended up say that she lobbied against a sex offender registre register. >> he's attacking her on the same points you're making, but hasn't showed people, okay, vote for me. that's one way roy blunt in missouri has rehabilitated himselves some ways with some positive ads. you haven't seen that in north carolina. >> he's in trouble. he's been painted as an insider. and it's working for his opponent. >> kip, how do you see it? what are your sources telling you about this senate campaign? any surprises, you expect? >> well, there is a lot of wo

the democrat. >> yeah, evan bayh, of course was the former senator from that state.rnor. his father was a senator and governor. well-known political family out there. but he lived in washington, right? so very quickly, i think he got himself in a little trouble by not being enough of a hoosier. >> absolutely. that's the criticism against him. but just the fact that democrats were able to make that a competitive seat here and put that on the board when it was expected to be a cake walk for todd young, the republican congressman a couple months ago. that's a big deal and that might be the difference if the democrats do, in fact, take the seat -- the senate by one seat. >> and we are taking a look at it now. todd young ahead by .07 in the average that's not very much. thank you very much. >> any time. >> bill o'reilly says one state, one state is the key to donald trump winning the white house which state is it? bill is here next to tell you. plus fbi director james comey has been accused of interfering with the presidential election. what does the white house think abo

think bayh can win? >> i think he has a chance to win. >> the trend has been terrible. >> can you say things honestly? from like a 30-point lead to a nothing lead. >> it's a republican state and he's a democrat who's won in a republican state. the democrats are playing there. but you showed that map earlier. look at those big red splotches. the truth is, there's nobody living in those states. milwaukee is bigger than wyoming. >> name me a democrat that's going to lose a close race for the senate. >> a democrat who's going to lose a close race for the senate. >> nevada's going to be tough. >> but that's harry reid's seat. that's tough. >> no one, a democrat, is going to lose in a close race? >> thank you all. >>> up next, new reporting on russia, the fbi and the presidential election. is moscow meddling in our elections purposefully? and for what? what are they up to? to cause trouble or get donald trump elected? what is the mission for moscow. this is "hardball," the place for politics. [baby talk] [chil

and republican todd young defeated former senator and governor evan bayh.an't get a better name for an upstart than todd young. let's bring in the "hardball" round table tonight. megan murphy is washington bureau chief for bloomberg. nicholas for "the new york times." not a good show. >> no. >> why did they get blown away? hillary had problems, we discovered in terms of enthusiasm on the left and the center. but why would so many of the hot prospects get defeated? >> i think you start with the message about the middle class. there was anxiety that donald trump was speaking. to and a lot of the democratic establishment didn't have a good enough answer for nafta, for the middle class jobs. now i know there are numbers you can point to saying things are a lot better than when barack obama first took office, things were on the upswing. but if people didn't feel that, they didn't believe in it. you could put up the best candidates you wanted and it wasn't going to work. there is also a question about did the face of the democratic party reflect the base of the d

evan bayh, democrats admit he bayh moved out of his district in indiana, asked his address, could not remember it, had not been back to the state very much and todd young called him on it loudly and often in commercials and todd young, fox news projects wils pick up the open senate seat in the state of indiana. not a pickup for republicans, it was an open seat held by a republican previously. polls have now closed in the state of arkansas. arkansas for the republicans, for the presidential race, closed at 8:30 eastern time, 7:30 central. arkansas too close to call. solid republican throughout. arkansas not called yet. kentucky senator rand paul republican presidential candidate himself before dropping out of the race in february. he's with us now live from louisville. senator, fox news projects you congratulations. how do you and yours begin to put things back together with the republican party? it appears the senate is very much in question. republicans could lose it. could you be a leader in put things back together? >> i think so. kentucky, a huge republican sweet, biggest victory

the democrats got a boost on their chances to take back the senate when indiana's evan bayh decided toer the summer. donald trump's running mate is the governor of indiana, mike pence. how much, if at all, has his presence at the top of the ticket changed this race, affected this race in indiana? guest: it is interesting. i do not think that governor pence's position of the top of the ticket has had a major impact. this race is an interesting one because it is one that democrats at the beginning of the cycle probably consider they would not have a good shot there. it is a republican state. probably going to vote for donald trump. jumped in the race and the summer. two term governor, his father was a senator. the name is known universally. democrats flipped that as a state that they have a good shot of winning. republicans feel very confident because they have picked up a giant opposition research book and thrown it at evan bayh. meetingked about him with groups that he ended up taking positions with after he left the senate. they talked about his work for a law firm. a law firm that di

bayh says he misses his customers and visits whenever he can get a ride out to that is the south of marketeet corner. he says he will never forget the few seconds that changed his life forever. >> it happened so fast it was like a bomb next thing i know i'm up in the air. landed over there. >> the other worker there, known only as jazz has avoided the area ever since that crash. go find me accounts were set up for both men after the accident, and they are still active. the cab driver who hit them told the police he had a medical episode of blacked out. he has apologized to mr. day and to jazz. >>> this morning in san francisco cruiser expected start replacing postÃparts of ocean beach that has been eroding. bulldozers and dump trucks will be used to remove sand south of sloat boulevard. ocean currents have been eating away the southern end of ocean beach. the work is expected shutdown a least one southbound lane through next month. today's work is scheduled to start at 7 am. >>> some ucs f tech workers who have been laid off want to take legal action. coming up, what they say the universit

the democrats got a boost on their chances to take back the senate when indiana's evan bayh decided to enter the race over the summer. donald trump's running mate is the governor of indiana, mike pence. how much, if at all, has his presence at the top of the ticket changed this race, affected this race in indiana? guest: it is interesting. i do not think that governor pence's position of the top of the ticket has had a major impact. this race is an interesting one because it is one that democrats at the beginning of the cycle probably consider they would not have a good shot there. it is a republican state. probably going to vote for donald trump. jumped in the race and the summer. two term governor, his father was a senator. the name is known universally. democrats flipped that as a state that they have a good shot of winning. republicans feel very confident because they have picked up a giant opposition research book and thrown it at evan bayh. meetingked about him with groups that he ended up taking positions with after he left the senate. they talked about his work for a law firm.

right now, all three retreads have lost. >> evan bayh. >> evan bayh, russ feingold, ted strickland. new candidates. >> we're continuing to watch a razor-tight vote for president. we've got several states still outstanding as too close to call, including florida, michigan, nevada, north carolina recently went into the trump margin. let's go to andrea mitchell right now at the clinton headquarters where i know they reacted to that slew of clinton calls a few minutes ago. but again, we continue some upset, considerable upset about north carolina, because of north carolina being one place where she went more than almost any place except florida. that said, their hopes now reside in michigan, in new hampshire. a lot of hope that they can pull this through in new hampshire. and also, as you were pointing out, the possibility of arizona. they need to hold wisconsin. i don't know how much of that vote, you say that milwaukee is in, but madison would if madison is indeed out, that could be the balance of power. regarding those senate raises, though, that is another huge blow. and the fact th

senate races: democrats need to gain five senate seats to take control there, and when ex- senator evan bayh decided to run for his old seat, it looked like a sure democratic gain. but his post-senate career as a lobbyist has brought him into a dead heat with republican congressman todd young. >> if he's losing, or if it's tied, it would suggest real problems for democratic senate prospects. >> reporter: in virginia, clinton's been well ahead in the polls, and her running mate, senator tim kaine, is from there, and obama won it twice. if virginia is close, that's a sign of real trouble for clinton. by contrast, if clinton is close in georgia, that'll be a sign that her base-- african- americans and college-educated whites-- have turned out to vote. at 7:30, polls close in three states-two of them especially critical for trump. it's endlessly said that no republican has ever won the white house without ohio, and this year its large white working class population seems to be leaning strongly to trump; he's leading in the polls. but sean trende says, watch the margins. >> if donald trump is win

then evan bayh jumped in the race and the summer. two term governor, his father was a senator.he name is known universally. democrats flipped that as a state that they have a good shot of winning. republicans feel very confident because they have picked up a giant opposition research book and thrown it at evan bayh. they talked about him meeting with groups that he ended up taking positions with after he left the senate. they talked about his work for a law firm. hiws work for a law firm that did lobbying after he left the senate. they made an argument that he abandons indiana after he left the saidenate. they claim he does not even live in indiana. there has been a lot of questions about how much time he spends in his condo in indianapolis. we saw polling with a double-digit lead when he jumped in the race. we had the first public paul yesterday showing tom young -- the public poll showing young ahead of evan bayh. can they get the attacks to stick. it seems like they have done it. it is still a 50-50 race but republicans feel really confident in indiana. host: we are breaking

indiana evan bayh, the former senator went back out to run. question about whether he lives there and the real clear politics average there you can see todd young, the republican challenger is up. what about that? >> actually, internals may suggest that bye is leading by several more points than what we're seeing here in that average. it looks like. >> young is leading. >> that young, excuse me. young is leading. bye's 7 point lead basically collapsed over the past two months just by not running a good enough campaign and being portrayed as washington insider and cashed in by becoming a lobbyist and help his staffers getting lobbying jobs. it's hurt him. >> it's a red state, too. >> it's going to go for trump. everyone assumed bye could do well. also someone considered moderate. deeply popular. didn't take the race seriously and young took it very seriously and that work is paying off. he should win. >> susan, molly, thank you. very succinct, very god. coming up, some people on twitter can't seem to wait a few more days for me to be gone. beli

patrick murphy and evan bayh ran pretty good campaigns.rphy to have to run against marco rubio who ran far ahead of where donald trump is in this state, it was very difficult. i don't think it was a matter of bad recruiting. the republicans did the best they could in states that are used to electing republican senators and that's what you saw happen tonight. pence at the top of the ticket in indiana was a hard thing to overcome there. >> bill, we appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you. >>> i don't know what he said. that was exciting. i want to find out. more than 150 electoral votes at stake at the top of the hour. >> polls close in 14 more states, just 3:20 from now, results as they come in. and guess what, it's pretty tight. hi, out there. this is a tight race outside fox news election headquarters. >>> we are just moments away now from the next set of poll closings. 14 states on the line and 156 electoral votes. among the critical states, arizona, colorado and michigan. all three have been contested by both candidates. the republic

because of the strength of evan bayh's connection to the state of indiana. lot of democrats were excited. hey, maybe make this competitive. >> -- an outsider? >> too much of an insider. way too much insider. somebody who lost his indiana roots. somebody who barely had an address in indiana. >> couldn't remember the correct address. got a court avenue confused. >> deep indiana roots. it wasn't enough. so we see that indiana hold. that's a red state. stays that way. senate map. we have one democratic pickup on the record i believe. so far. but one of the races we were closely watching, it had potential to be competitive. >> interesting thing about, young/bayh, got whipsawed by his prior job. working for the u.s. chamber of commerce. came out against him. been away a while. assumed he would go back. >> he is a democrat from another era. >> okay. a centrist democrat that just didn't fit this democratic trump is unpopular, maybe i can sneak back into the senate." >> never forget when he left the senate he, he penned this op-ed. you and i were covering the white h
