that could help catherine cortez masto potential little overtake adam laxalt there. ening. it's these two blue counties that have the most votes left to deliver, which is what's giving hope to the cortez masto campaign, that they can overtake laxalt and win this race. >> the biggest hope according to rosa, she said very soon we're going to be getting 22,000 votes in the largest county over there where las vegas is, the biggest city in nevada. those 22,000 votes potentially could put her over the top. >> and what is important to understand, when we saw the clark county votes that came in last night, they split much more advantageously for the democrat than her current spread in the county. now she's winning clark county 52% to 45%. last night they split 63-32. it is a dramatic improvement for cortez masto. if she can keep up that kind of percentage of victory of the votes as they come in, that is going to help her overtake laxalt and potentially pad a lead. >> right now he's only winning by about 862 votes. yesterday, 24 hours ago he was ahead by some 9,000 votes. it's

catherine cortez masto -- >> hold on a moment, rosa.r microphone doesn't seem to be working right now. we are going to fix that and make sure we can hear all of the new numbers. john berman, you are watching, you are waiting for the numbers. have you gotten those numbers already? >> let me tell you, wolf, i don't have the exact number from the county. we will wait for rosa to fix her microphone. i can tell you the results of whatever numbers just came in have given catherine cortez masto, the incumbent democrat, the lead of 4,982 votes. a lead of 4,982 votes, which means she netted, netted total of 5,845 votes there. rosa, her microphone is now working. she can give us the break down. >> rosa, go ahead. >> reporter: yes, here is the breakdown, wolf. catherine cortez masto, a total of 350,825 votes. adam laxalt, 300,326 votes. now, this widens catherine cortez masto's margin here in clark county to 7.53%. it was 6.91% before. so she, again, widens her lead. this is not as big of a lead as president biden had in 2020. that was 9%, but she

right now fewer than 900 votes separate catherine cortez masto and adam laxalt.call. our political panel is here to discuss what's going on. nia malika henderson, where are we right now? by all accounts, this is a potentially decisive moment for the future of the u.s. senate. >> that's right. we're in some ways where democrats never thought they would be, right? potentially on the cusp of keeping the senate, potentially on the cusp of growing their senate margins, depending on what happens in georgia. this race, particularly in nevada, no one really thought that catherine cortez masto, who was a first term senator, could pull this out. if you've seen over the last couple of days, she has steadily cut into adam laxalt's lead. you see adam laxalt on twitter saying if the trend continues, it would be difficult for him to climb back in this. but we'll see what happens. you know, if the democrats are able to keep the senate, this means a huge amount for biden's presidency. it means he can get judges through. it means administration officials, cabinet officials through

catherine cortez masto receiving about 14,000 of those votes, or 60% of the vote. laxalt received more than 8,000 votes, or about 35% of that batch. now, that put catherine cortez masto in the lead and cnn called the race at that point in time. her campaign taking to twitter, saying, quote, what did people get wrong about this race? the first latina senator knows her community better than anonymous sources. the daughter of a teamster knows how to fight for working families. and ccm's a former a.g. and crime attacks couldn't stick. again, the democrat here, catherine cortez masto, keeps her seat and stays a senator of nevada. rosa flores, cnn, las vegas. >> now, with arizona's governor's race still hanging in the balance, state election workers are processing hundreds of thousands of outstanding ballots. but some republicans have complained the count is going too slow, falsely suggesting that's deliberate. it's attracted small gatherings of protesters, as you see there. adding to the mistrust, state republicans sent out a tweet that also seemed to suggest the vote c

catherine cortez masto, the u.s. senator was behind by 23,000 before that. 5000 out of 14, 000, and so she is now down, as you can see on the screen there, by only 18,000 votes statewide. that is a 65%, 30% win in the first batch. there are 84,000 altogether that we know, and so if they were to keep up that pace, and that's a big if, she would be in the lead in the race. rachel, there's more than that. there are 61,000 mail ballots that we don't know about in terms of what they're character is. it's a little bit of a closer county in the partisan breakdown. it's very even. we're not sure the democrats can pick up as much there, and one other detail to throw in is that there are a few thousand ballots, and we're not quite sure how many are left in nevada, this will heavily favor laxalt, although will probably only gain a few thousand votes there. it's very uncertain still, but that first batch of clark county ballots -- >> it's alex wagner here. in terms of those votes, and who cast what, can you give us a sense of th

catherine cortez masto gets to stay as a u.s. senator from the state of nevada, and with that the democrats get to keep control of the u.s. senate. here's how it all went down on saturday. clarke county issued a tabulation of about 23,000 votes and here's how the votes were divided. catherine cortez masto received more than 14,000 votes or 60% of the batch. adam laxalt received more than 8,000 votes, or about 35% of that batch. that put catherine cortez masto in the lead statewide by more than 5,000 votes. at that point cnn called the race. her campaign taking to twitter to say, quote, what did people get wrong about this race? the first latina senator knows her community better than anonymous sources. the daughter of a teamster knows how to fight for working families and a former ag, the crime attacks couldn't stick. the democratic incumbent here in nevada, catherine cortez masto, gets to stay as senator of nevada. boris, amara? >> rosa, thank you for that. >>> to arizona now where maricopa county continues to hold the biggest n

ballots that went in from clark county, which is las vegas, and those were expected to break for catherine cortezand as a result, and bc was able to call the election in nevada for cortez masto and decide control of the senate will remain with the democratic party. now, there is still one race unsettled, that is georgia, that is going into a runoff. because that could have 50% of the vote there, but the control of the senate now does not depend on that race. it doesn't make it any less interesting, an important, it just makes it different. even, this has been quite an hour to have watched what happened. >> a historic hour, because i think for us, it crystallizes a lot of what we have been talking about over the past two years. the democracy, the debate where we go from here with election deniers, more importantly, i think what it means for the balance of power for democrats on issues like reproductive rights. it was something that chuck schumer just singled out, saying it was an important issue. it is safe to say that dobbs changed everything. that decision changed everything. you think about the

in a tight race their candidate catherine cortez masto defeated the republican adam laxalt who had beenorsed by donald trump. the democrats now have 50 seats to the republicans�* 49. the remaining seat, georgia, is going to a run off in december. in the event of the senate being divided equally between the two parties, vice president kamala harris has the casting vote. for more on the story we are joined by our correspondent david willis, who is in washington. david, who is in washington. thank you forjoining us. david, thank you forjoining us. talk us through the results that have just come through? well, it is a remarkable result tonight, the democrats projected to win that crucial swing state of nevada, catherine cortez masto beating her republican challenger adam lucks sold, which gives the democrats the 50th senate vote they need, with the casting tie—breaking vote of the vice president, kamala harris. —— adam laxalt. i have therefore retained their majority in the upper house. that is very significant because very few people for the democrats would do quite as well as this, given

it was catherine cortez masto over adam laxalt.ome of the mail vote that came in over the last several days helped her make up a deficit. she'd been trailing by more than 22,000 votes a few days ago, now leading by several thousand. so the senate has been decided. that leaves the u.s. house of representatives. this is something. not many people would have thought that the senate would be called for the democrats before the house would be called for republicans, but we just can't yet. there are too many outstanding races. right now the republicans control 211 seats. we projected they will win at least 211 seats. the democrats, 204. you need 218 seats in the house of representatives to have a majority, 218, which means the republicans need seven more. the democrats would need 14 more. there are currently 20 seats that have not been called, 20 races that have yet to be called in these races right now. the republicans lead in ten. they only need seven. they lead in ten. the democrats lead in ten. they need 14. so you can see it's an up

. >> reporter: incumbent senator catherine cortez masto celebrated sunday. cbs news projected a narrow win over her republican challenger adam laxalt, cementing democratic control of the u.s. senate even ahead of georgia's december 6th runoff. >> the roots of democracy are deep and strong and real with the american people as this election showed. >> reporter: cbs news estimates the u.s. house still leans republican. but as new members arrive to washington, d.c. for this week's orientation, divisions within the gop are on display. >> i think that we certainly have to do a postmortem analysis here, look at what took place. >> reporter: cbs news projects more than 150 gop election deniers or those who raised questions about 2020 will serve in the new house. but in a number of high-profile statewide races they lost. none will serve as top election officials in battleground states. ballots are still being counted in arizona. the race for governor between democratic secretary of state katie hobbs and trump loyalist kari lake still a tossup. the former president pu

catherine cortez mastro beating her republican challenger adam laxalt which gives the democrats they 50, and with the tie—breaking vote of vice president kamala harris, they have retained their majority in the upper house. very significant, because very few people thought the democrats would do quite as well as this, given the fact that inflation in this country is currently at a more than 1a year high, and the factjoe biden�*s approval ratings were considerably lower than many in the party would have liked. a lot of people it seems who came out to vote took against the so—called election denier candidates endorsed by donald trump, and this has somewhat upended his perceived role as a sort of kingmaker, if you like, in the republican party. so it's good news forjoe biden. what it means for donald trump remains to be seen. he has nonetheless committed himself to announcing a third run for the white house this coming tuesday evening. it’s the white house this coming tuesday evening. lt'g imegigni "’ w to understate tuesday evening. lt'g imegigni w w to understate 'ust tuesday evening.

so you noted catherine cortez masto, the democratic incumbent is behind right now. share of this outstanding vote, 52 to 54% of that 95,000 outstanding vote is what she would need to win this race. obviously, laxalt, who's ahead right now by roughly 9,000 votes would need a smaller share. 43% to 47% of the outstanding vote is what he would need. so i look at this graphic here, erin, as a bit of a viewer's guide, so when we get more vote from nevada in the system, be looking to see, is catherine cortez masto in that range? is she getting 52 to 54% of that batch out of clark county? is she getting that out of washo county up inlino area, when they deliver? those are two democratic strongholds. she's been getting her sort of percentage overall in those counties are hovering around there. so does she increase a little bit, her performance there, that actually mirrors what she needs to win this race? >> so those are the crucial things to watch. and everybody at this point watching this bit by bit needs to know that, right? so when the votes come in, you look at 10,000 vo

it was catherine cortez masto over adam laxalt.of the mail vote that came in the last several days helped her make up a deficit. she'd she'd been trailing by over 22,000 votes, now leading by several thousand. the senate has been decided. that leaves the u.s. house of representatives. this is something. not many people would have thought that the senate would be called for the democrats before the house would be called for republicans, but we just can't yet. there are too many outstanding races. right now the republicans control 211 seats. we projected they will win at least 211 seats. the democrats, 204. you need 218 seats in the house of representatives to have a majority. 218, which means the republicans need 7 more, the democrats would need 14 more. there are currently 20 seats that have not been called, 20 races that have yet to be called in these races right now. the republicans lead in 10. they only need 7. they lead in 10. the democrats lead in 10. they need 14. so you can see it's an uphill battle. the democrats on this ma

continues republican challenger tweeted this morning that his lead over incumbent democrat senator catherine cortez at masco he says is down to just under 900 votes. that way the results of the u.s. power in the senate is deadlocked at 49 seats for each party byron york is standing by. first thing a fox news team coverage, alexander hoff on the balance of how power in the house with nearly two dozen raised still undecided. rose watson, alicia in arizona on those races but first jonathan hunt on the battleground right now in nevada part he is in las vegas. anyone taking bets on what's going to happen jonathan? >> nobody's taking bets right now i think nobody in particular is willing to put it all on red certainly. the republicans increasingly pessimistic about their chances of their candidate running this race. that is because as we have been counting over the last few days to his lead has gone lower and lower. now as you mention, just below 900 votes a razor slim lead he is clinging onto a guest democratic senator catherine cortez amassed out. he hopes he can hold onto it. but really as accounting

is he in as strong of a position potentially as senator catherine cortez masto? >> that's the right question, katy. listen the bottom line is that he has trailed behind catherine cortez masto the entire time in polls and now in reality in the votes. he is trailing by about twice the margin that she is to joe lombardo, about 34,000 votes he is going to have to have everything break right. that is continue to win 60, 65% of the outstanding ballots, hope that additional ballots coming in the mail in the next few days favor him. it is a very uphill struggle for steve sisolak but unlike where i was yesterday maybe 24 hours ago where i thought he didn't have much of a chance. i think he has an outside chance right now. >> john ralston, great to see you. guad appreciate your reporting. thank you. >>> any minute we expect to see raphael warnock speaking in atlanta. we'll bring you that live when it happens. you can see the crowd that has gathered -- here comes senator warnock. day one and a half, two of the georgia runoff campaign that is beginning. really the kickoff he

and this with the win of catherine cortez masto meaning democrats have secured 58 seats. kamala harris will have the tie-breaking vote to fall back on . and the president from cambodia reacted to the results back at home . >> i know i am a cockeyed optimist . i am not surprised and i am incredibly pleased. and, i think it is reflection of all of our candidates . they are all running on the same program. they are all sticking with it and so i feel good and i'm looking forward to the next couple of years . >> reporter: the president said he is watching the senate race in georgia which will go to runoff on december 6th . as for the house of representatives, the gop is leading democrats 211 to 203 with 218 seats needed for majority there . >>> and attempted robbery of a wedding photographer was caught on camera in san francisco. in broad daylight in front of witnesses, the robberies are increasingly happening at popular photo shoot locations. some may stay away from san francisco altogether . >> they go after the expensive cameras and they know there are opportunities at the

democrats feel bolstered in last night's vote count, went well for senator catherine cortez masto and if it breaks this same kay today, adam laxalt's lead could get even smaller. it is tougher for democrats in the governor's race, where sisolak is behind republican joe lombardo. and we take a look at the senate score card with a big picture look. nevada and arizona, you're abouting to see, where we are expecting more votes to come in this evening along with the runoff from georgia, where we heard from senator raphael warnock, the senate democrat. >> i came here to ask you one question. are you ready to do this one more time? let's get it done. >> his opponent herschel walker will be out with ted cruz later on today. on the house side, it is the waiting game, 31 uncalled races to find out who will hold the majority, and the nbc news projection at the moment, 221 r, 214 d, that is the projection, plus or minus 7 seats which means it is jump ball here. we talked about nevada. votes still getting counted. stephanie gosk is there. our nbc news correspondent is out there in vegas this after

>> well, so remember, it was blue, catherine cortez masto was the incumbent here. you see how close this race is, we still have a bunch of vote out. he was ahead of -- she's going to the united states senate, first of all, up here and washoe county, earlier this week, adam laxalt was winning this county, it was red, in the first day after the election or so, and then, it flipped blue as more votes came in. you see 50.3% in this county 46.9%, so a little more than a 3% point margin and what has been a bit of a battleground county in nevada politics. but it was down here in clark county, in the las vegas area, that delivered catherine cortez masto her victory today. we were waiting for those 22,000 votes from clark county, the largest county, the population center, las vegas, three quarters of nevadans in the state live in clark county, and joe biden will this county by more than nine percentage points just two years ago against donald trump when he won the state. so when we got those votes in and we saw that catherine cortez masto won 60% of them, if not more, she p

democratic incumbent catherine cortez masto is -- or cortez masto, i should say is leading, but is stillpoint. catherine cortez masto still leading there. head over now to the magic wall with mr. john berman. boy, it is tight, john. >> let's go into nevada right now. leading by 0.6%. but don, it's just 4500 votes. the democratic incumbent's lead right now is 4500 votes. and i want to point out there are some counties we haven't heard from at all here. now look. let's talk about nye county in nevada. it's a tiny county. it just makes up 1.5% of the vote. but we have zero percent in. let's look at what donald trump did there. donald trump won that county by 10,000. so just that county alone in theory you can see the republicans wipe out the leaden joyed right now by the democrats there. let's go back to the senate, back to nevada. you can -- i can poke around and show you the other counties here. leon county here. zero percent reported. two years ago the margin here for donald trump was 12,000. so, again, just what these counties that haven't reported, you could see that margin made up com

and then in nevada, republican adam laxalt holds a narrow lead over democratic senator catherine cortez masto. and in georgia, senator raphael warnock and herschel walker, they are back on the campaign trail, they are headed to a runoff again. this all happens next month. now, let's look at the house. the republicans inching closer to retaking the majority, but right now we have to say it is far from a done deal. nearly three dozen races remain undecided. president biden, his take on all of it. he says the results represent a good day for democracy as his party avoided an expected republican blow-out yet will still see if republicans or democrats remain a majority. we are covering all of this with you for reporters in key states throughout the hour and john berman on those undecided races here with me in studio in the senate especially. what are you searing? >> one thing i want to make clear, not only do we not know who will control the senate but we don't know when we will know. these are the races that are still undecided. georgia going to a runnin'. nevada and arizona, let me show yo

and we see news projects that democratic senator catherine cortez masto will win reelection, defeating her republican opponent, adam laxalt, and delivering democrats the majority in the senate. a majority that could be expanded next month when voters and georgia head to the polls for the runoff election. moments ago, senate majority leader chuck schumer celebrated. >> the election is a great win for the american people. with the races now called in arizona and nevada, democrats will have a majority in the senate, and i will once again be majority leader. this election is a victory, a victory and a vindication for democrats, our agenda, and for the america, and for the american people. >> although control of senate has finally become clear, it may take weeks to find out which party will control the house. the latest projection has republicans at 209 seats, to democrats, 200 and -- sorry, 219 seats, 216 seats. that estimate also comes with a margin of error of four seats. which means democrats are still very much in the game for house control. if you want a set of how competitive things

it was confirmed after the democratic incumbent in nevada, such as a catherine cortez. musto, narrowly defeated, her republican challenge up adam lock salt was endorsed by former president donald trump. at us. mike, hannah reports not from washington. the results cast doubt on trump's influence over the party. ah, the democrats seize control of the senate. catherine cortez musto, winston nevada, giving the democratic party 50 seats, and with the casting boats at the vice president. a majority in the chamber and republican adam lex, that becomes yet another trump supported candidate to lose. here the democratic party, one in the state of arizona, where former astronaut mark kelley defeated republican blake masters. i'm not surprised by the turner and i'm incredibly, please. i think it's a reflection of quality. we're killers in the they're all running on the same program and anybody who wouldn't run on what we do or all stay sticky with. so i feel good. i'm looking forward to a couple years and a clear loser in the mid term elections. his former president, donald trump, whose endorsemen

also, when i look at nevada, we talked about the 221 latino vote for catherine cortez masto, i also wantpoint out a demographic that sometimes folks represent, and that's the asian american pacific elder vote. that's 11% of the electorate in the state of nevada, and they showed up, turned out in greater numbers than in 2018, and if you remember, i think it's a symbol of people rejecting the hate, the fear mongering, donald trump did so much negative language towards the asian american community when covid hit, and i think that community also stood up and showed out this election cycle. so it's momentous for our country, it shows the diversity of our country and how independents, women, young people, black, brown, asian americans, all came together and stood up for progress and not going back to hate, lies, and cheating. >> impressive win for the democrats in the senate. scott jennings, moments after the latest nevada results were officially announced, senator josh hawley, tweeted this, he tweeted this he said the old party is dead, time to bury it, build something new what is your reacti

expectations in the countries mid term vote to when a crucial seat to control the senate. democrat, catherine cortez master has one real action in the nevada senate race that victory gives her party control of the chamber for the next 2 years of president, biden's term, cortez master defeated her republican challender challenger adam lac salt whose early lead dwindled after a late counted ballads came in at some point in time, or the wind breaks the historical trend of the president's party, typically losing seats and mid term elections. let's now take a closer look at the numbers. these are the seats that are not up for grabs in this election. if you add all the newly decided races, you can see the democrats leading with 50 seats, while the republicans hold 49 seats. one seat is still open, ga, holds a run off valid in december. but with the vice president comma harris being able to cast time breaking votes, control of the senate is now out of reach for the republicans. i'm joined now from washington, d. c. by my colleagues to me some of candor. see me get to see you. so this was among the tightest

as you see there, the margin is twice what catherine cortez masto is behind by. but i think that this is going to be a poll for the rest of the democratic statewide ticket , for many of them over the top , including very importantly, the man running against one of the worst election deniers in the nation, jim marshand, his running for secretary of state. >> john ralston, ceo than yvette independent, absolutely indispensable, as always. john, thank you so much for your time tonight. it is interesting, we talked about introducing john, talking about how blunt spoken he is on these things. he's saying that catherine cortez masto has a real shot, it sounds like he does not think that steve cisalak has as good of a shot. we also have to look at that secretary of state race, and there are outstanding house races there as well. nevada, i don't know when we're going to get all of that ballot, and i don't know how these are going to go. nevada and arizona are really going to be down to the wire. >> nevada has this almost wisconsin -like quality, where you just know it is

in the senate, you've got republican adam laxalt challenging incumbent catherine cortez masto.u see this shaping up? >> it looked as though catherine cortez masto is going to eat into adam laxalt 16,000 vote lead statewide. the real question is can she eat into it enough through the mail ballots which have been overwhelmingly in her favor so far to get past that 16,000 vote mark, knowing that laxalt is going to gain a few thousand more votes because rural nevada, which is very red, is going to help him a bit. amna: what about the governors race? what is happening there? >> if catherine cortez masto does not have much margin for error to catch up to adam laxalt , steve sisolak, the governor, has even less to catch up to the sheriff of clark county. joe lombardo. he is twice as far behind and he has been running behind catherine cortez masto in the vote totals. i think it is a real longshot for steve sisolak to catch up. amna: this secretary of state race a lot of folks have been paying close attention. the democrat running against an election denier. we have seen a lot of those

they saw the democrat here, catherine cortez moscow. as being one of the most endangered senate democrats in the country. she was down in the polls ahead of the election to her republican opponent, adam lac salt will made a difference words those malin ballots that have been meticulously counted all week . and we know that male in ballots tend to skew in the favor of the democrats. now i spend some time on the ground with the most powerful private sector union in nevada. that is the culinary workers union. and they really are a powerhouse for the democrats. they ran a massive canvassing campaign going door to door with working class voters with voters of color in particular, trying to a stump for the democrats, essentially because they say the democrats are the ones that best reflect their policies that might have made a difference. but certainly we'll have to wait and see who voted how. but yes, this is for the democrats, a really significant victory. now, assuming we can see it's still very late at night in washington where you are an
