in missouri, where democrat senator claire mccaskill is in a tight race to would make an election. is two faced political pandering. mccaskill is trying to bill herself as a moderate, which he is not. and project veritas is exposing herself as anything but. we got this tape exclusively and as always wees report and you decide to, and it features mccaskill and some of her campaign staffersen talking about the centrist policies on guns and impeachment and more. that's not exactly what she's campaigning on. take aot look. >> if we have the kind of year i think we might have, i think we could actually be in a position that we could get votes on the stuff on the floor. if we could get 60, mcconnell knows that, it goes to the house, and it's awkward with all those house members are total nra folks. >> so you would be on board? >> of course.f >> i voted for most of those things before. >> for a band? >> oh, yeah. >> she doesn't go out and openly support, and like her ability to get elected. >> sean: we saw this last week in tennessee with former governor phil bredesen. now we see it with s

running against claire mccaskill. this week project veritas.com exposing mccaskill for just how far left her views are in a series of undercover videos including, of course, her extreme views on gun control, her campaigns plan to lie to the good people of missouri. we are not going to really do this but we just have to act this way. and present mccaskill as a moderate, which she has not. she says she's just like barack obama. take a look. >> on board with this? >> of course. i voted for most of those things before. >> she doesn't openly go out and support groups, like other groups that are related to that because that could hurt, people hurt her ability to get elected. >> saying that you think she's more progressive than she lets on? >> yes. >> a lot more open-minded to like alternative routes to things? you can be open about that. >> by not? >> because you completely isolate moderate republicans. >> is like we have to lie to get elected. >> essentially. essentially buried >> sean: according to a new at it looks like

louis county, i could give up at the a few votes in the b. >> claire mccaskill. she's given up on you. >> i'm at josh hawley and i approve this message. >> sean: and give up a few votes, okay. and more shocking news out of arizona, we first showed you kristen cinema, once called the people of her estate and her state the meth lab of democracy. in 2011 she's in texas and speaking and calling her federal arizonans that she wants to vote for her, calling them crazy. she also promoted an event and it arizona state university including a lawyer who represented a blind shake, convicted of the 1995 bombing, mastermind of terrorist pots. and, you can check that out yourself, to which it is. to reclaimed the tradition of feminist witchcraft against the iraq war. her opponent, martha mcsally, was defending her country and despite her unusual and frankly cd past, and martha mcsally has now jumped out to a thin lead to. claire mccaskill, you just saw him pretrade in the project veritas video, it's important to remember, mccaskill voted against cavanaugh, against due process,

so you have candidates like claire mccaskill who are known as moderates, maybe have a track record of reaching out to independent voters, but they're still in the fight of their political lives. democrats have a shot at taking control of the house, but they could lose a seat or two in the senate. >> glor: a similar thing is playing out in other states right now. itis is also a huge gauge of the test of the popularity of the president. >> sure. and his approval rating has fallen here in missouri, in other red states, but not by as , ch as it has fallen in the country overall. he's still at about 50% here. that's why hawley, when you asked him where he diverges with the president, he was reluctant to create much distance there. the president is still an asset. >> glor: and mccaskill also reluctant to criticize the president on some issues. nancy cordes, thank you very much. in a "60 minutes" interview last night, president trump took a step back from his prior claim that climate change is a hoax. but he told lesley stahl he does not want to spend a lot of money on efforts to reverse it.

i want to start with you since we just wrapped up that claire mccaskill interview.she's moving more to the right, in an interview that we just finished. >> absolutely. she's trying to appeal to some of those same white ready working-class voters that ended up supporting the president because in this interview she's sees it as reaching out to those voters that may have voted republican at the top of the ticket in 2016, but who have known her and voted for her before. she's hoping they will vote for her again and that political environment in missouri hasn't completely shifted under her feet. >> bret: scott, for governor walker here, he has been a major target for democrats for years and years. this one seems like he's really in the cross hairs as far as trying to get democrats motivated. where is the ground game here? >> this is a first time governor walker has been on the ballot with an incumbent president, that's a dynamic he's never faced before. but he also built an incredible get out the vote effort, as referenced, let him get in the winds for the last three yea

year-old two-term democrat in a state the president won in 2016 by nearly 20 points. >> how does claire mccaskillet things done for missouri? >> reporter: mccaskill did vote nearly half the time in support of president trump's agenda. she hasn't kept it secret. >> i don't do a knee-jerk opposition to the president. i try to figure out each nomination and each policy position based on the merits, and then i have to explain it to missourians. >> would you call his presidency a success? >> i think it's a work in progress. and i think that's up to voters. >> this election is about saving our country. >> reporter: mccaskill's opponent josh hawley says she hasn't voted with the president on anything that matters. >> senator mccaskill and her democrat allies have a radical left wing agenda. >> reporter: hawley is the state's attorney general, a 38-year-old yale law school graduate who once clerk forward chief justice john roberts. he's a conservative who has hooked himself to the president and he hopes to the voters who put him in the white house. >> they did that because he said he'd go out and fight f

what is happening with claire mccaskill.w we are forecasting a one-point win for claire mccaskill, and i would point out these are one of the states that has not been polled a lotte recently. >> this is very different than what political insiders are saying. >> and one reason why holly could beat mccaskill. when claire mccaskill won, and two years later john mccain won by 1.1 percentage points, and now jump ahead to 2016, donald trumps won by 19. i think there's little trend here. i would say this is a state that is going quickly to the right and the question is whether claire mccaskill has enough to get over the finish line. >> why isn't there recent polling in missouri? >> media organizations are pulling back from poling was of 2016, and the fact that we don't have as many media organizations and a lot less funds going to them are less public. >> some will say wait a second, we thought mccaskill was supposed to lose six years ago, but -- >> yeah, todd akin made remarks about rape, and he was one of the least popular politi

in missouri, critical swing vote claire mccaskill is a virtual tie with her republican challenger josh joining me now, guy benson, cohost of "benson and harf," and democratic strategist. good to have all of you here. let me start with you. what would you be advising joe donnelly at this point at heidi heitkamp? >> to vote for the interest of their state and represent their state. that is what they are doing. claire mccaskill came out against brett kavanaugh because his decisions gave a clear path for more special interests, unreported money into the political process. jon tester for montana opposed judge kavanaugh because he was considered a privacy issue. >> martha: i'm talking about donnelly and heidi heitkamp, they have not decided. >> they have to watch the fbi report to see what it says, they have to look at his decisions and how it impacts their state for the bottom line of the entire discussion is, this is not going to be the deciding factor in the states. the reason in these red states democrats are within the margin of error across the board is because of donald trump. the fac

>> tucker: for the record, there is literally no difference between elizabeth and warren and claire mccaskillwhatever whatever. lisa boothe has been on these campaigns for us for a while now and doing a great job. i sense a theme here. let's start with the mccaskill clip that we just played were some democrats in some states are pretending to be much more moderate than their voting records suggest they really are. >> claire mccaskill has said that elizabeth warren is one of those crazy democrats, yet she has voted with her 60% of the time and she has voted with senator chuck schumer 80% of the time entries only voted with president trump 45% of the time but guess what, she's trying to show that she is chummy with president trump because he won the state of missouri by 19 points. she told bret baier that she 100% supports president trump's policies on the caravan and on immigration response to that. she's trying to run to the center and josh hawley, a republican opponent, has really made this an issue by calling out claire mccaskill and saying you are not a moderate, you are too left-leaning f

in 2016. >> not just the brett kavanaugh hearing but the fact that here you have somebody in claire mccaskill has gone to the left on issues like obamacare, she wants to raise taxes on missouri. there is a really good candidate in josh holly, the attorney general who cleaned up state government, reformed state government and you see the effect of the brett kavanaugh hearing and that claire mccaskill has become an out of touch korea liberal politician. heather: we want to talk about the north dakota senate race where the president won by 36 points. senator heidi heitkamp said she would be a no vote for brett cavanagh. did that sealed her fate? >> i think her fate was sealed over the summer. in addition to your poll we did a poll where we saw her down by 10 points. i think she is auditioning for the next democratic presidential administration. she is trying to figure out a way to ingratiate herself of democrats, where you don't want to be because donald trump won north dakota by 30 points, a very conservative state and she has shown how she is out of touch with voters in north dakota. heather:

still, in states the president won, some democrats in tight races, like missouri senator claire mccaskill, tell me they embrace the president's tough line. >> well, i think the president needs to use every tool at his disposal to make sure the border is not overrun. >> reporter: today, the president also doubling down on his pledge to do away with the by borinhe united states.any >> i'd rather do it through congress, because that's permanent. but we can certainly do it through -- i really believe we can do it through executive order. >> reporter: most legal experts and even republican house speaker paul ryan say that's unconstitutional. and in one red state on the border, texas democratic senate candidate beto o'rourke calls the president's immigration push pure politics. >> he tries to stoke paranoia and fear about a group of migrants who are hundreds of miles, weeks away from the u.s./mexico border, if they even make it this far. i think he's trying to play upon the worst impulses of this country. >> so, let's bring in mary live from the white house tonight. mary, president trump insist

hear about the significance of the kavanaugh hearings, the attempted smear by the democrats and claire mccaskillt that. they are just livid about how things have gone. >> charles: are there state-specific issues you are focused on? >> in senator mccaskill's 12-year records, she hasn't been independent. she is voting with chuck schumer 90% of the time, against the tax cuts, against justice gorsuch, against justice kavanaugh. she hasn't heard anything the people of my state told her in 2016. that's going to be the decisive thing. >> charles: what did they tell her that she missed? >> they told her to work with the president and support an agenda that will rebuild this country and make america strong again. she has voted against this president on judges, voted against him on a border wall, voted against him on tax cuts, every time on every priority that matters. senator mccaskill has been with the liberal democrats and against this president, which is just to say against what the people of missouri voted her. that's going to cost her. >> charles: josh, if you get to washington, d.c., what kind of r

in missouri tonight, democrat claire mccaskill is showing more signs of desperation in her race againstepublican josh hawley who is now leading in the polls they are. it's an ad where she is calling her own party crazy. and i'm not going to disagree with that part. >> paid for by mccaskill for senate. >> what do you know about this josh hawley guy? >> i know he is a gale lawyer who worked in d.c. and he supports those terrorists. >> what does he do now? >> i think we just elected him to attorney general. prosecuted fewer criminals and never even tried a case. >> he as been caught hanging at the gym and buying wine during work hours. >> i saw that. has this guy done anything as a ag? they are totally helping insurance companies but not us. >> i don't necessarily always agree with claire mccaskill but she works hard fighting against terrorists and those town halls. >> and she's not one of those crazy democrats, she works right in the middle and finds compromise. >> especially when it comes to protecting things here in missouri. >> sean: at the people of missouri know this. she is no moder

this i a state where donald does clair mccaskill's if more disapprove than approve, missou will be the state >> because you are unsure? >> i'm so unsure of the result is popular and the democratic battle >> in missouri, she is doing so indepe is winning by her new ad is about professing party. >> this lead me to this. presid made it clear listen to this. >> congress is on the tick think of it as the same thing. >> depending on where you are, smilin how right do you thin he is? this i about donald trump. it is america's first chance to two years of the trump admini no president who is facing unpopu places likes to he is right. this i an election about donald trump. >> i like to say that about show. no matter what, it's about me, guys. thanks so much. coming up next, melania trump lady. why she chose african nation of her first trip abroad. she is joining me on the phone. kate, what was it like being she doesn't often come back on she did mention how she was. she has never been to africa before she is launching her motion and childr hospital. that w an interesting moment to see her come

i think claire mccaskill is like right in second place. she seems to do a pretty good job of revealing them but that is the strategy on her part in some of those share a lot. we will see if this proves to be the case again but there is a good chance it might be. there's a lot of people in misery, a lot ofri republicans that have a sneaking suspicion that he's kind of phoning it in and not working as hard as she is. at the end of the day, politics tend to reward the hard workers so we will see. >> host: besides what we talked about, what are we paying attention to from now on to election day? >> guest: the president has for rallies scheduled this week and i will say one of them he's going to say something that will change whatever is being discussed on tv away from what he probably wants discussed if he wants the situation discussed more so that more focus will play two democrats in that context i think that is one thing to watch for in it .-full-stop overdrive where the voters go. when i was 13, 14 we were thinking of election day as 90% o

democratic senator claire mccaskill and josh hawley. each campaign has agreed on the rules. in the first half, each candidate gets 90 seconds to answer a question, with a 60 second rebuttal. michael: candidates, at times this campaign has reflected the tribal nature of the national campaign, especially in the last couple days. you have called each other names, insulted, neither one of you started this but your campaigns have joined in. question to both of you -- is this what voters deserve? a.g. hawley: thank you for the question and thanks to senator mccaskill. i want to start by saying that i'm delighted to have my wife with me today. we have two little boys at home, elijah, who is five, and blaze, who is 3. i am very concerned about the culture of instability, confrontation and outright violence we are seeing across the country. i think it is concerning to see politics come to this level. i have never attacked my opponent personally, i am not going to. this is not about us. this is about the peop

i do think claire mccaskill loses. i think that project veritas tape has hurt her.ing about her rv trip, voting reliably schumer has hurt her. t she is a moderate. i think you're right about nevada. i think kyrsten sinema is in trouble because as more and more -- tester is going to be a tight race. indiana, if they don't hold libertarian, we hold that. interestingly, even west virginia is in play. even new jersey might be in play. >> i think the democrats t will hold new jersey, hold tester and it won't be three or four, i rhink it will be a couple of seats but clearly the republicans are poised to hold the senate as the democrats win the house. >> sean: john, you do say republicans can come back. what is it going to take forto them to make up that five seat deficit if we are all right? we are all agreeing. a little behind tonight on the house. >> you said the magic words, stop pelosi. 55% of americans don't likewe her. 30% are favorable to her. we've seen it where they don't want her as the speaker. even democrats don't want her as the speaker. we've got to draw th

next up, the true tossups where it's just a knife's edge, democrat claire mccaskill in missouri, bobs open seat in tennessee. both races feel like coin flips and frankly, the next category, it's a slight lean, but man, slight lean. indiana, donnelly, slightly ahead. florida, nelson slightly ahead. montana, new jersey, texas. all five races, we give a slight av av advantage to the incumbent. all of the seats are democrats, except texas. new on the list, bob menendez in new jersey. a poll out today had him up 11. another poll had him up two. he's in the five to six sweet spot there. not great, probably winnable for him, but not great. so, joining me now is the one of the nation's fore most experts of handicapping races, jennifer duffy. >> hey, chuck, how are you? >> so, i guess, the big question is, are we in a holding pattern on the battle for senate? i would say this two weeks ago felt like there was a decided shift towards the democrats and it was like, boy, they have a real shot at flipping. kavanaugh has everybody going -- and not sure. >> right. first of all, i didn't see that, t

claire mccaskill and josh hawley . each campaign has agreed on the roles. ules.ach candidate gets 90 seconds to answer a question, with a rebuttal. candidates, at times this campaign has reflected the tribal nature of the national campaign, especially in the last couple days. you have called each other names, insulted, neither one of you started this but your campaigns have joined in. is this what voters deserve? a.g. hawley: thank you for the question and thanks to senator mccaskill. i'm delighted to have my wife with me today. home,e two little boys at blaze, who is five, and who is very. we love you, if you are watching. -- who is 3. i am very concerned about the culture of confrontation and outright violence we are seeing across the country. it is concerning to see politics come to this level. i have never attacked my opponent personally, i am not going to. this is not about us. this is about the people of the state of missouri. when you hear leaders of the democratic party like hillary clinton saying you cannot be civil with people you disagree with, eric ho

i spoke with claire mccaskill a couple days ago, the democrat from missouri. when i talked to mccaskill the other day, she was a hard no. she is not even in play in this matrix, kennedy. kennedy: i wonder what that does to her race. you would think if murkowski and collins go into the yes column it might make it safe for her which could solidify her support with independent to conservative voters in her state. but i guess not, clare. you know best, girl. >> these votes, especially a vote that's so super charged. i have been around capitol hill a long time. senators don't say i better vote this way because it will help me in my reelection. they really do vote their conscience. if claire mccaskill or sue and collins said i -- or susan collins says i can't vote for this guy, that's how they will cast their ballot. joe manchin is the one democrat in play. susan collins and missa miss --a murkowski. you go from 100 senators to 99. 51 republicans to 50. so they need to keep all of those republican senators together just to get to 50 votes, unless they get joe manchi

he is taking on claire mccaskill. his reaction in a moment live next. >> on this vote the yays are 51, nays are 49. the motion is agreed to. >> we were informed that juvenile jokes in his high school year book were sinister, secret references. all the keystone cops were on the case. keystone cops were on the case, madam president. and senate democrats cheered them on. >> sandra: that was senate majority leader mitch mcconnell moments before republicans cleared a major hurdle in the fight to confirm judge brett kavanaugh. lawmakers voting a short time ago to advance his supreme court nomination. kristin fisher is live on capitol hill in the middle of all it. >> sandra, this is really it. we're finally in the homestretch. what you can expect to see over the next few hours are several speeches on the senate floor. these senators really want a chance to explain their vote because as senate majority leader machine mcconnell said it's one of the most important votes they'll likely make and one of the most important speeches

. >> and missouri, claire mccaskill probably shoochbts ul win.ut she -- this is where the wave stuff gets weird. if there is a democratic search in t -- surge in the cities st. louis and kansas city, voting for the house could save claire mccaskill in the senate. without that, she would be a goner. usually you would think it would be the senate race. >> and heidi heitkamp, not a business surge big surge in the suburbs. >> and she made a vote on principle and there are a lot of people in her home state who like people who are independent. so she has few weeks to turn this around. i wouldn't write her off. >> it is a small state. everybody knows everybody. so i don't write montana off either. up ahead, is president trump looking beyond the midterms? if you sgrunyou judge by his sc travel, this is a 2020 week. we'll explain.

last month in the missouri senate race democratic incumbent senator claire mccaskill was leading by 3 points against her gop rival josh holly, now the race is tied and even before brett kavanaugh and doctor ford testified mccaskill had already said she would vote against brett kavanaugh and among the 28% of voters who say they could still switch candidates almost twice as many say voting against brett cavanagh would make them less likely to support mccaskill. and north dakota democratic senator heidi heitkamp is still undecided but she is quickly losing support of women and is running 12 points behind a republican challenger kevin kramer and if heitkamp vote against brett cavanagh twice as many say they would be less likely to vote for her. and tennessee were gop senator bob corker is retiring republican marsha blackburn has a 5 point leader with democrat and former tennessee governor phil brett is in, blackburn's leaders within the margin of error but is up from last month but we should note brett a synapse voters are but more loyal, 92% of democrats back him versus 82% of republican

claire mccaskill has not been that popular over the past couple of years. >> and tennessee is a stateto flip, but you are seeing the republican with a five-point edge, perhaps an issue of republicans going home. >> this is a state that donald trump won by 26 percentage votes. this is a good state for republicans for that to occur in, and i will point out the last pole also had woodburn up by three, and the thing that should be pointed out in tennessee and missouri, both leads are within the margin of error. those races could turn out differently. >> just to remind people. 51 republicans, and 49 democrats. how do you see it right now? what do you think will happen in the senate? >> democrats need a net gain of two seats in order to take control of the united states senate, and i would say the best estimate if it were held today, neither side would gain a seat, because democrats might lose one in north dakota but will also pick up a seat in arizona. >> what are you seeing? i should note harry has a great site up. >> what are you seeing in the house? >> we are seeing democrats are more l

you see attack ads this week against josh holly, who is challenging claire mccaskill in missouri. this is a super pac organized to try to elect senate democrats. host: natalie is in washington, d.c. a democrat. go ahead. caller: good morning. thank you. citizens united is clearly the worst thing the united states supreme court has done to americans. what we need to do in my opinion, just take the money out. taxpayers can pay for it. we can have limitations. and we can have control. i suggest people look at what happened in nebraska when they tried, and 22 other states tried to get them to stop putting in this money. that is what is running this place. we have become the corporate united states. that is outrageous. i would also like to point out that people should look at mr. mcconnell. who made mr. mcconnell the dictator of the united states congress? he has done nothing but bring problems, keeping the united states, keeping the ninth person off for almost a year from the supreme court. why? host: we will try to focus on super pac's. and outside spending. but stick around for open

>> it's interesting to know what clair mccaskill would say about creating tent cities which is what donald trump proposed. he should use every tool. >> she doesn't support the border law. >> where the president is going on the mid-terms, he was in missouri twice. >> bingo. up next, the president's mid-term campaign tour, but first, look at a flash back to a very different message to the leader of a very different republican party on this very issue. >> if there is anyone who has mistaken that we are not open to citizens of every race and religion, let me remind you. tonight this hall belongs to the party of lincoln and the exits that are clearly marked for you to walk out of as i stand this ground without compromise. where are mom and dad?

we were just there talking to the incumbent, democrat claire mccaskill against of the attorney general republican. take a look at our poll, tied 43-43. each one of these states, also interesting to look at, president trump's approval rating. in missouri, 54% disapprove in the state of missouri. that state extremely tight according to our polling. if we go out west to arizona, republican martha mcsally, democrat christian cinema , we also have it tied. the president approval rating in arizona, 52-46. of the president is not going out to arizona in the last stops of his tour before election day. then we go up to north dakota. this race has really changed the incumbent trying to hold on, heidi heitkamp, kramer pulling away. 51-42 in our latest poll. one of the readers, look at his approval rating for president trump in north dakota. 61-36. that makes a big difference on turnout in a state like north dakota. in tennessee, once thought to be very tight where marsha blackburn is up against bill bergeson, former governor there as we take a look at our poll, also, blackburn pulling away 50-41.

this one i think might be the tightest senate race that we're following right now and this is claire mccaskillst, against attorney general josh hally and this is pretty good i think because of the fact that you've got mccaskill only one that seat back in 2006 kristin because of a scandal. and she's vulnerable after the kavanaugh hearing. >> yeah. i think missouri is going to the republican mccaskill has been ranked as most unpopular senator up for reelection for four months in a row according to morning consult 53% of voters in state want her gone, and keep in mind, trump won missouri big i think by 19 points and remains pretty popular in the state meanwhile mccaskill opposed tax cuts and border wall. so you know, i think she's up hill battle here, and it will all come down to mobilization in that state. >> quick rob and a 56% approval rating in missouri, that could be trouble for mccaskill as well. >> she's saying that we need to look at more where he's coming from financially with the deficit increasing things like that instead of just criticizing himg. i wish more democrats would get away f
