we are back with nicholas van hollen of the new after our, conversation with senator chris van hollen who is the chairman of the democratic senate campaign committee. senator van hollen played his cards close to the chest. when you are talking with people who are good observers of this, where are the democrats best hopes of picking up the majority? nicholas: i think the democrats feel they could hold all of their seeds up for reelection, save for one or two, then their path has to go through -- they have to win 2-3, either in nevada, currently held by a republican, arizona, where you have open seats, tennessee, where they are quite bullish therehe former governor can win that race. and then there are some wildcards. texas is one of them. he is up against two ted cruz, a formidable republican on the national stage. mississippi is a wildcard. they have options. i think nevada, arizona, and tennessee are the best path that they can hold democratic seats. alexander: i agree with that. i think dean heller in nevada is considered the most likely democratic pickup. after that, i think arizon

now this week, "newsmakers" interviewed senator chris van chairs the chaired the senate democratic senatorial campaign committee. he discusses whether russia interfere in the elections. the clock isen: taking. the senate has to act. it is a bipartisan bill, as you mentioned. i introduced it with senator rubio. what we know is all that the trump administration, national security official says that not only did russia interfere with the 2016 elections, but we expect them to interfere again in 2018, unless we do something. that is what the debtor act is created for, a penalty for clinton and russia, if they get caught again. i am optimistic. we will have hearings in the coming weeks on the senate foreign relations, senate senate committee, the committees with jurisdiction over this, and it is hard for anybody to say we should not take action now to protect the integrity of our democracy, and the only way to do that is to send a signal that there will be automatic tough penalties if we catch russia, putin, or anybody else. >> why is it important now? why is the current or to retroactively apply s

joining me now "fox news" politics editor the one and only chris fan van. it was an interesting night because the president was subdued at times and he couldn't stay on message. do you think that he was rattled by some of the news today with michael cohen and paul manafort? >> there sort of a parallel here about the wishful thinking that a lot of trump supporter seem to be engaging in as it relates to paul manafort and as it relates to cohen. we also by the way have the second number of congress who endorsed the donald trump duncan hunter was indicted on corruption charges following chris collins. you know it is coming hard and it's coming heavy now. there was some wishful thinking that i think a lot of the president engagement about the investigation and criminal charges and corruption allegations and all of those things that somehow this would be made to go away and somehow was fake and manafort didn't do these things in cohen west into he was. i think there's a similar thing that happened to voters when you are facing a dfid called political climate is r
