but what we have seen has shown conor lamb up pretty sizebly in th this race. so maybe that helped him, maybe it helped his image and miss positi -- his positioning heading in to this new district. so again if lamb wins off a re. again question will s we will see more polling later today. so interesting just as trump is arriving a few miles north of there. >> steve kornacki, thank you. >>> with me on seat, friends of the show. the president is heading to pennsylvania we think tonight. there is no change in plans for that given the storm and everything else. he is on a real hard push made of the midterm here. >> so he did four stops last week, he has four sops th tha s week. one interesting thing is that earlier he was going to bright red states in bright red areas. and now he is going to areas of states that are are considered toss-ups. he is going to congressional districts where the republicans are potentially in trouble. there was a thought that maybe president trump would be more helpful in places where he is super popular, but now he is going to places wher

conor lamb supports of this program. if you support the program fine but understand what the program did. they rated medicare $800 billion to fund a new entitlement program and to extend medicaid and treat people living above the poverty line in that new expansion more favorably than people living below the poverty line. mr. lamb has voted against the right to try act. this is legislation that every single democrat in the statehouse in harrisburg voted for. if you and your doctor decide there's a treatment you want to try, and that the providers are in it, the government should not veto that. we have to grow this economy. you look at the votes that we have what we have to look forward, our changes to our votes made no changes from anybody in or near retirement. i am committed to saving medicare. >> keith, dili raid on medicare is one you have voted for time and time again, hundreds evidence of dollars you voted to cut from that system. what he's talking what you sow the affordable care act would've saved money in the lon

rothfus: i don't think conor lamb is dangerous for pennsylvania.i do get concerned if the democrats take over the house who will be running the various committees. as i mentioned maxine waters would chair the financial services committee. and she would be very aggressive with for example our community banks and credit unions. we have seen a choking off of capital going to small businesses because of the overregulation that happened as a result of dodd frank. things that were meant for wall street trickled down to hit our local community institutions. ms. waters is somebody who believes that dodd frank was basically written in stone and she won't let there be any changes. and so she opposed the reform bill that we had which mr. lamb opposed that would have provided meaningful relief to community banks and credit unions. they were not the ones who started the financial crisis. and mr. lamb in the last debate talked about believing in the power of the american government. look, i believe in the power of you. i believe in the service of the american go

conor lamb is likely to win the 17th district. in part because the district was drawn in a much more favorable to democrats than the existing district. conor lamb is leaving behind the 14th district, the most of which he currently represents and that will likely be picked up by republican. in pennsylvania, we could have a wash. so that the suburbs are a big problem for -- philadelphia suburbs are a big problem for republicans because the democrats will pick up three seats. delaware county, six district in chester county, where the democrats hold advantage, seventh district in the lehigh is -- has left and a democrat is the favorite over a former olympic cycling gold medalist in the allentown district. the closest fight is the first district in bucks county. democrats have two additional opportunities in harrisburg district, 10th district, where the republican faces a democrat george scott. that is leading republican and mike kelly, republican company in uri, pennsylvania, -- erie, leaningania, that race, republican. host: in a few

. >> when it comes to pennsylvania, keith ross and conor lamb, bring us up to date. >> on our list, number 3, partially because of congressional redistricting, pennsylvania's congressional map got completely redrawn, district lines changed which meant the composition of the district also changed so this became a more narrow trump district meeting had the lines been this way in 2016 this district would have supported donald trump by a narrower margin than his older district that puts them in or difficult position. than the added complication of running against connor lamb, a democrat whose name is familiar to us. he has a huge fundraising advantage. he was a national name at some point this year when we were talking about the special election of pennsylvania's 18th district and running the 17th district, that means he built a national following and was able to bank all this money and it was hard to pull it out again. someone like that, plus a district that is no longer favorable to republicans. >> another pennsylvanian, cheryl, hello, in pittsburgh. >> caller: i am just joining so i hope i

[laughter] >> good to be with you this afternoon. and just listening to that story out of florida, your hearts have to go out to those folks. i remember after katrina getting down and seeing the devastation that you saw both in louisiana and on the mississippi gulf coast. a lot of work remains to be done, and our thoughts and prayers are with those good folks down there. kristin: and this recovery always takes so much longer than you initially think. congressman, i want to start by popping up those congressional maps in your state that were just really redrawn by the pennsylvania supreme court. that is what it looked like before the supreme court ruling,

thanks to the state's new congressional maps is a race between two incumbents, keith rothiss and conor lamb earlier this year. that one is interesting because, you know, keith is a pretty vulnerable republican, but the national party has pulled its advertising in favor of him from that district and many are saying conor lamb looks like the person to win that race. one more that i will mention is opinion pen's fifth district which, again, thanks to the new maps in the state has become 26 points more favorable toward democrats than the national average. >> wow. >> yeah. >> let's switch gears for a moment because i want to talk to you about the big shake-up within the trump world replacing nikki haley at the united nations. obviously, very unexpected. another race is on to figure out who is going to replace her. he says he has a short list of around five candidates. who are you hearing may be the front-runner and do any of them actually want the position? how do you also audition for this president, so to speak? >> auditioning i think is a great word to use for this. but you're right. there ar

won that special election in pennsylvania for a house seat, conor lamb was running against the typical republican. the typical republican doesn't win in trump country. so as you guys were saying, trump is looking to his base. he knows that trump is a better sell than the republican establishment. that's why he's trying to attach himself to these people. it's going to be a real struggle to get those working class, the rust belt voters who voted for trump, to say, well, we're republican now. i don't think he has brought them into the party yet. i think he's brought them into trump, and now he's trying to bring them into the party. >> eli, thank you, eugene thank you, tim i look forward to your article. >> thank you. >>> storm recovery. how candidates locked in a heated campaign are getting their communities the help they need and perhaps winning over some voters as well. >>> and melania's moment, the first lady talks about her husband's alleged affairs in a rare interview. >>> and pastor released, an american pastor just released from jail in turkey a short time ago. how the american gov

it is because of redistricting, it's an interesting district in which he's facing off against conor lamb. it is a district in which the national groups seem to have given up. we looked at advertising sort of after labor day, during the month of september and what you in half of a dozen races, there doesn't appear to be much interest at the national level. these media buys can change on a daily basis, we will have to keep watching it, but about half a dozen of the districts, the democrats need 23 seats to win the house. that could be a pretty big down payment towards the goal. david: earlier you call this financial triage. making those decisions, is not necessarily the case things are going against republicans overall? no, it sort of a matter of not wanting to put good money after bad. all of the outside groups have had record fundraising this year. resources, butof not unlimited and if they can't be competitive they would rather apply the money to places where they could be more competitive. it happens every election cycle and tends to happen in the month of october. david: that's the na
