josh hawley, the republican senate candidate in a tough battle against clare mccaskill. claire mccaskill has a three-point edge from one pole, but real clear politics calling it a tossup. rita on the democrats line from jacksonville, florida. you have two big races. have you voted already? >> i voted early. , yes, i didd to say vote early, i voted republican. in the presidential election in 2016, i voted republican. democrat.istered being a single mother with children, i think the republicans are better for our country and everything right now. . >> so you voted for ron desantis and governor rick scott? >> yes, i voted for both of them. >> any predictions? >> i'm hoping ron desantis and governor rick scott win, but like the polls, everyone keeps saying, you never know what's going to happen. my biggest thing is everyone keeps saying that with everything trump is doing, the women are not voting, and that they are going to vote democrat. i amted to call in and say a registered democrat and i voted republican. >> a lot of questions especially after 2016. thank you for the ca

clare mccaskill is trying to hold on to her seat. she is fighting a razor tight race against josh hawley. real clear politics average shows hawley with a slight lead over mccaskill. but neither candidate has led by more than four points in a single poll for the entire year. five thirtiy eight puts democrats chances of winning in missouri in three in five. that same analysis puts republican chances at two in five. so, you can see why the race is getting so much attention. we're going to be talking to nbc news and jonathan allen about how tight that race is. but you have to remember on tuesday when you are watching the results come in, according to nbc, there are only about 11 states that, you know, in the senate that we're going to watch very closely. if republicans take two seats and missouri is the hold out, that's going to be where all eyes are. ally vala ttali. what are democrats looking for here? >> he won this state by just about 19 points in 2016. several of the voters i talked to over the course of the last several months here

fox news poll, shows it is a dead heat, dead split between josh hawley, attorney general, and clare mccaskillcratic senator in missouri. when you look at the last three fox news polls, it's all tied. it's been there this way for two months. when she spoke with bret baier, mccaskill aligned herself with the president on the immigration issue, saying that we need to make sure the southern border is shored up. >> shepard: blake berman at the white house. a dam in california ready to go, more than a billion dollars later. look at this time lapse, in oroville, about 65 miles north of sacramento. took workers nearly two years to rebuild the spillway. the original estimate, a few hundred million dollars. the final price, $1.1 billion. crews had to rebuild the spillway after a giant home opened up in february of 2017. the danger forced more than 185,000 people from their homes. some very popular game shows that we've just learned are keeping their hosts. what are jeopardy and wheel of fortune. alex trebek renewing his deal, stays on as host of jeopardy through 2022, shoelt in its 35th season. similar

we saw missouri raise the minimum wage but not return clare mccaskill. there determines an issue interest not filtering into the parties in the way that people that follow politics closely expect. because it would be a standard view that the party more likely to engage in things to raise the minimum wage would be the democratic party. but, you know, in florida, again, that same example the party who is talking more about expanting voting rights, the democratic party, but you get reenfranchisement but not -- right. so i think there's this very serious issue where there are major policy issues substantiative wide spread agreement that is not translating to substantiative agreement among legislators. you studied maybe it's a refor call question but you study the the trump tax cut a lot. i'm curious how much of a role that played in the midterms. >> i think it's very telling that bill did not list taxes in his list right there. no. the tax cut had very little to do with the election, which is shocking. again, because it was the signature legislative achievem
