let's bring in bret baier, anchor and executive editor of "special report".ays good to see you. here we are looking at tight races. a lot of pieces being written about the fact that we could into at a 50/50 senate once again. your thoughts as we head into the final month here. >> it is possible. it's on a knife's edge. these races come down to how things swing in the final days. we're 29 days from election day. these races are very, very tight. pennsylvania with mehmet oz and john fetterman. you have herschel walker facing the problems he had last week but yet the polls remain tight. seems like he did take obviously some hits down in georgia. nevada looks good for republicans at this moment. arizona has closed in that senate race as well after a pretty significant debate from blake masters and mark kelly. these four states are the toss-ups. there's possibilities outside of those states for republicans to make moves and perhaps change the entire map. there's a lot up in the air that can change in 29 days. >> martha: it's clear when you listen to candidates tha

bret baier standing by in new york. at the justice department with the latest on this, high. >> a significant development, hunter biden for 52-year-old son of president joe biden may face charges after all. this coming in an exclusive report from "the washington post." we are calling for sources right now to try to find out what we can about the story. it is interesting because "the post" tax crimes with the s related to a gun purchase. hunter biden has not been charged with a crime. david weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware has quite a task ahead of him deciding whether or not to in tight a sitting president's son. the question, what would hunter biden be indicted on? we know that president joe biden kept david weiss on the payroll as a u.s. attorney when he came into the oval office in jan january 2021 to avoid any types of conflict of interest. but ultimately, martha, attorney gen eral merrick garland and lisa monaco, these are characters briefed on hunter biden investigation. we reported fox news about a month and
