dave mccormick will be the next senator for commonwealth of pennsylvania. he is here in d.c.l do great for this country. >> brian: could this be a fight? chuck schumer's thugs against muscle of dave mccormick. >> ainsley: didn't kamala say we're going to be the party that allows peaceful and easy transition. i'm glad chuck schumer had a change of heart and dave mccormick will be able to vote for senate leadership tomorrow. >> steve: balance of power in senate is set. republicans, great for them, they got 53 and can pretty much do whatever donald trump passes there way when they work it out with the house. the house is more complicated. republicans have 214, you need 218 and democrats have 205. in the middle, there are still -- the white dots there, 16 races remain. republicans need four and democrats need 13. here is the thing, when you look at 214s, keep in mind, two republicans are going to the white house to work for donald trump, elise stefanik and michael waltz. they have to come up with more cushion before they can feel comfortable. >> ainsley: likely republican house w

are still fighting who one who lost when the ap already called the race. >> absolutely we know dave mccormickhe opportunity to get to know his colleagues. >> i get a move on to foreign affairs kamala harris david mccormick with me watch. >> a number of days ago mathematically there is no path for senator casey to win i'm up by 40000 votes which is a very significant margin and ultimately senator casey is going to have to decide when he is ready to acknowledge that. i lost a close election by 900 votes in 2022. i know it is tough to do that. maria: senator are you expecting dave mccormick to vote on the numeral enter majority leader. >> i am i do expect dave mccormick will be allowed to vote as he should he is a senator elect. maria: let's talk about armed services with foreign policy israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he spoke with president-elect donald trump three times since the election israel sending the strategic affairs told mar-a-lago to meet with trump. benjamin netanyahu said he and trump see i do i with iran in all of its components. the justice department charging an i

dave mccormick deserves to be in orientation. i will be there to help walk him in, he needs to be in there. >> madeleine: gallego has not invited yet to orientation. he will be allowed to vote for gop leader tomorrow. contenders to replace mcconnell will be john thune, and rick scott. wins in louisiana yesterday and republicans favored to hold lower chamber, four seats from the majority. pr president-elect tapped waltz and elise stefanik. that puts house republicans in precarious position, they can afford to lose no more than two and special election must be conducted for outgoing members. >> todd: special election means campaign season continues. fox news alert, millions across east coast waking up without internet. verizon reporting significant disruption. outage spiked between midnight and 2 a.m. according to down detector. no word on cause of the outage. >> carley: and today judge judge merchan will decide if to up hold the new yorkerce haveus trump case. presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution. on nov a jury

republicans extend wins with dave mccormick huge win in pennsylvania. >> sky-rocketing prices, wide op border, crime in cities and war on fossil fuel and they want change. >> lawrence: left's meltdown continues after trump's historic win. >> stop talking to men, divorce your husbands. >> i'm tired and i'm done. >> lawrence: crazy. >> brian: you think -- they are not taking it well. celebrity support coming up short. who wrote that, gutfeld? john daly has always been pro-trump. final hour of "fox and friends" starts now, remember mornings are better with friends. please get dressed. >> ainsley: not in the prompter. republicans expanding senate majority after senator-elect dave mccormick huge win in pennsylvania. control of the house is still up in the air. >> lawrence: bryan ilenas joins us live. >> republicans clearly now have majority in the senate and extented it to 45 seats after flipping ohio, west virginia and now pennsylvania, where republican senator-elect dave mccormick commrepleted a remarke comeback against bob casey. mccormick never led in average of polls and one time was d

and now i get to introduce my husband, senator-elect dave mccormick. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting "dave"] mr. mccormick: all right, thank you. look at this. what a great crowd. thank you all so much for being here. thank you to my lovely wife. give my incredible wife a hand. [cheers and applause] truth be told, she's the better half of the mccormick duo. listen, i want to start with the message of absolute gratitude, gratitude to be standing here on this beautiful day in a city that has meant so much to my family. my dad went to college at pitt, we had some of the most formidable years of our life here, three of our girls were born here. gratitude for the people of pennsylvania for giving us the honor of serving at such a consequential time for our country, gratitude to the amazing campaign team. let's give them a hand. [cheers and applause] gratitude to so many people that have helped us across the commonwealth, been there for us, giving us their support, giving us their trust. we are feeling very blessed today, blessed by god to have given u

, he will join us, dave mccormick in just a few moments. first, trump's pick for attorney general, well, matt gaetz, he dropped out writing on x that his confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the trump-vance transition. trump moved quickly though and just moments ago nominated former florida attorney general pam bondi as gaetz's replacement. now, she served on the opioid and drug abuse commission during trump's first term. she spent 8 years as florida a.g. had an esteemed record and more than 18 years as a prosecutor before that. she is terrific. joining me now charlie hurt, "washington times" opinion editor. katie pavlich, both are fox news contributors. charlie, this gaetz thing an understatement that it was becoming a distraction. and people, i think, watching this tonight and hearing this news are frankly breathing a sigh of relief. your thoughts? >> yeah, well, of course it was becoming a huge distraction. but, part of belief was kind of looking forward to watching the couple of weeks of hearings with

dave mccormick won in pennsylvania giving the the gop 53 seats. there are still two races to be called. and the house looks likely the remain republican. that would cement a clean sweep. meanwhile, the democrats are in absolute disarray. kjp storms out of the press conference. despairing democrats are all over social media. one cutting her hair or in protest. to the markets. thursday, a quarter point rate cut. stocks went up some more. in this morning no serious selloff. the dow off maybe 20 the -- sorry, up 20. s&p down 5 and the nasdaq down 60-odd points. by the way, powell says he is not leaving the federal reserve even if asked by trump. a new high for bitcoin early this morning, it moves well above $76,000 a coin. right now it's back to the 76,3. the record was 76,9. that was earlier today. the price of gold still below $2700, no, it's not, 2704. rates, not that much changed, the 10-year around 44.32 and ths moved up, 4.23%. price of oil, where are we? i'll say it when i get there. $71 per barrel. got it. gas lean, $3.009 per gallon. that's t

and we have got this new person, it looks like dave mccormick and chuck schumer just hasn't said comewn, dave, you're next. >> yeah, so much to watch in this congress, you guys. the associated press called the race rather for democrat ruben gallego in arizona early this morning. now we will see if he and republican dave mccormick who won in pennsylvania will be in invited to freshman orientation later today. neither of them have received invitations. a spokesman for senate majority leader chuck schumer says mccormick was not invited because there were still ballots that needed to be counted in the keystone state. that is despite the fact that the associated press called the race for mccormick on thursday. the a.p. said there were not enough votes in places supporting bob casey for him to overtake his g.o.p. challenger. some republicans are now end caghtd they will personally escort mccormick to the capitol for orientation defying schumer. >> chuck schumer is just being a big baby. and he needs to just take the l and move on. the a.p. has called this race. it's not particularly close.

leader chuck schumer now to allowing senator-elect dave mccormick to attend orientation he originallycounting going on against bob casey casey refusing to conceded but ap called race for mccormick schumer says david mccormick and ruben gallego are invited to attend senate orientation overnight, what was he waiting for? for gallego to win? he was announced winner in the airondacks senate race against kari lake last night. >> that is what it sounds like, to allow orientation six years ago pure politics by chuck schumer. he is going to do chuck schumer will do everything he can, to go against the with all of the american people the will of the american people they want trump agenda, chuck schumer, is going to try to block it every with a they can dave mccormick a great senator doing a great job i am excited going through orientation, but we have great new senators, moreno a great job tim sheehy new candidates up here going to do a great job help "get trump" agenda done. >> you need their vote their support, bernie moreno dave mccormick, how far are you feeling about this race, against jo

advantage pull in the key swing state of bob casey as a one point lead over the republican challenger dave mccormicks mccormick up by a point, the race is extremely tight, dave mccormick is with us now. it couldn't get any tighter. it seems like it's going to come down to the wire. how do you feel about early voting in pennsylvania and what is your final message now getting down to the last day. >> thank you for having me. i feel great about where we are it's all about momentum and it's clearly on my side in the mail-in ballots are very encouraging for republicans, president trump myself and others because they got between the republic the democrats as many hundreds of thousands less than previous years. i think that's going to be a good sign for us but we have to close strong in what's happening in pennsylvania the choice is becoming clear this is a choice between this change in the status quo. seventh generation for convenient, someone went to west point combat tour in iraq and someone who is a successful businessman in an outsider says he will turn limit to two terms as a career politician bob ca

this got dramatic for dave mccormick because pennsylvania's incumbent senator bob casey is challenging the results, 99% of the vote is in and mccormick is up by just under 35,000 votes. stuart: he's got it. lauren: 5347 is the breakdown in the senate. stuart: ask io's is reporting the transition team, trump's transition team created a makeshift situation room at mar-a-lago. lauren: it is showtime. stuart: is this where he makes his pics? lauren: trump is a tv president, the team put up digital presentations, big screens of the cabinet and the contenders. it shows profiles and clips of their recent television races. trump wants to see how authoritative they come across and that will help him decide who to pick which reportedly he will weigh in specifically on 40 pics. i always had confidence sometimes the quiet people kept their head down, did a good job but i don't think that is going to work in trump 2.0. stuart: he's going to get them. check the markets please. the dow turned south, all the indicators turned south, 80 points for the dow, up 18 for the nasdaq. we are lower across-the-

dave mr. core mick mccormick will be declared the winner. important that everyone one of these counties need too follow pennsylvania law. larry: what is south there? -- what out there? 20 thousand votes left to be counted? >> that is about right. they will recount every vote, but, they have never seen any re recount that overturned anything like this. average recounts flip about 300 or 500 votes, we're not seeing this overturned. bob casey should save the taxpayers that money from going through this process. he won't. so we'll go through it and then we'll have dave mccormick declared winner oof the case. larry: i know c casey's dad well. he should just step back up to the plate and be a man. >> i think that key is that we saw the voters of pennsylvania stand up on november 5, elected dave mccormick and voted for donald trump. and significant numbers. that clears the way for us to have a republican majority in senate. pennsylvania was a critical state for donald trump, i think it is a bellwether state, what we have seen over last 4 years is u

maria: there's a fight over dave mccormick.epublicans are pushing back against chuck schumer because he's refusing to allow senator-elect dave mlk core mick to attend the senate orientation. i spoke with mccormick yesterday. gop senators eric schmitt, katie brit and mike lee say they will grant mccormick entry into the building so he can be escorted to orientation. here's dave mccormick with me yesterday on sunday morning futures. >> the ap called this race a number of days ago because mathematically there's no path for senator casey to win. i'm up by 40,000 votes which is a very significant margin. and ultimately senator casey's going to have to decide when he's ready to acknowledge that. i lost a close election by 900 votes in 2022. i know it's tough to do that. maria: michael lee, your reaction. >> >> yeah, look, i was told things like not conceding a threat to democracy and contesting the election. it is mathematically impossible for bob casey to win this unless the remaining votes break three to four to one in his favor. i

dave mccormick is the winner, and that gives incoming majority leader majority. now you and i just saw the gaetz story today, right? no votes were taken, but it was clear that well, more than four republicans were opposed to the gates nomination. the math wasn't there. so 53 is a majority but it is not 60 to dictate all the trump administration necessarily. and clearly if you lose four, you're not going to get your confirmations through either and so assuming all the democrats, assuming all the democrats are opposed precisely so a 53% majority is certainly certainly a bigger majority than the democrats currently have in the united states senate. and it will be something for thune to work with. and they'd rather have 53 than 52. so this race matters no doubt. >> and david, on behalf of all of our viewers here in the united states and around the world, this is an opportunity for me to congratulate you. not only are you our political director, but you're also our brand new washington bureau chief. and we are grateful to you for all you have done. thank you. wolf. i

we're already seeing it. >> dana: when will the recount be done and we'll know if dave mccormick can d get sworn in? >> he is doing all that. he was in d.c. yesterday. he and his wife. a picture by the door senator elect mccormick. it may go for another month. this is a scam to raise money. that's what they are doing. mccormick had the right message about the border and also about the economy, too. bob casey was running on his name and no record, no accomplishments. to dana's point the hardest he has ever worked for the people of pennsylvania trying to save his seat after he lost. >> dana: fighting hard to win a losing battle. amazing. great to have you. have fun on jimmy failla radio. don't get in any trouble. the ceo of the online betting platform after his home was raided. we are oh awaiting a response from the f.b.i. to apply for a va home loan. the newday 100 loan allows you to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. so if you're in a situation where you need some help financially, give us a call. mom where's my homework? mommy! hey hun - sometimes, you just need a moment. self-c

currently, senator bob casey is trailing dave mccormick by .6%. waiting to get information on include provisional ballots, overseas ballots and military ballots. if the race gets in a .5% margin there would be an automatic recount. i want to show you the presidential numbers from pennsylvania because president- elect donald trump won the state of pennsylvania by 2.1%. 2.1% is significant because we just saw how close this races in pennsylvania. the senate race in pennsylvania. that shows you there so many split ticket voters in this race, people who voted for donald trump and then voted for senator casey. one of the reasons that might be is because senator casey has such a legacy in pennsylvania. he is a three term senator who served in washington 18 years. his father was a governor of pennsylvania. it is no surprise this race, the senate race, is so close. as we said, i will just emphasize again, nbc news has not called this race. one other mage news is my major news organization has. after that announcement, dave mccormick held the victory press

the race for dave mccormick. chuck schumer invited him to washington for orientation.ocratic senator bob casey has refused to concede and help taxpayers around the hook for $1 million to have every ballot that was eligible recounted and a few that apparently worked. >> sandra: the new senate majority writing "this is a blatant attempt by the democrats to violate the rule of law firm for over a week it has been clear that dave mccormick won the election. senator casey needs to concede. he will join with his reaction in moments. >> we began with alexis mcadams live in our new york city newsroom. >> most people at home that are watching about this thing wrapped up days ago. democrats and some election boards are breaking the law and admitting it to overturn the results in the senate race in pennsylvania counting relatives that do not have the required signatures or the right dates but say people break the law all the time. >> mostly because i think we all know that precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country and people violate laws anytime they want. for m

we'll cover the rallies. >> dave mccormick pa.com.an: lawrence is talking to voters in georgia, you'll hear from him next. [cheering] we believe at newday usa we have a noble purpose. our purpose is not just closing a loan. we want to do whatever is best for the individual service person. we want to be known as america's mortgage company for veterans and active duty service people, and they and their families. we're the ones that are there to help them. people are doing hard, arduous, difficult, dangerous things. some of them are giving their lives right now today for the freedoms that we have here in this country. they're willing to do that for you for me and for our family. so for us at newday, to have the opportunity to turn around and help those people at this point in time. it's a labor of love. it's a noble service. and that's what we're all about. [cheering] >> lawrence: i know it feels like the super bowl, but we're in rome, georgia. these folks are fired up and i'll tell you exactly why. do you think the country is heading do

you put dave mccormick in.he could have won against fedderman, who was a strong statewide candidate. dave mccormick winning -- first of all, he is the type of republican candidate that can win a state like pennsylvania, a west point guy, and ran a tough campaign. so give dave mccormick his due, a great republican candidate, but i want to talk about what this means for the democrats, because we had sherrod brown on, and i have to say, i knew a lot of democrats would have trouble this year. i don't think sherrod would in ohio, because he was so connected with working class voters throughout his entire career and got beat. here is the second shot across the bow for democrats and working class voters. as you know, the casey family legend in pennsylvania. casey would win -- he won by 17 points. white working class voters in pennsylvania loved him, loved his father, stayed with the caseys through thick and thin, and there weren't ever any close races. he has lost now, and let's look at ohio. let's look at pennsylvani

breaking moments ago democrat senator, bob casey, has officially finally conceded to dave mccormick. >> i just called dave mccormick to congratulate him on his election to representot pennsylvania in the united states and itmple. the first bow is completed,th pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge they are voice is heard whether the first to be counted or the lastt >> laura: joining me nowt, senator elect, without a doubt,s dave mccormick, senator elect, thank you for joining us latewa notice. but this went into automatic recount because so close, but ih was not obviousleyy without iss. it looks like they were trying to actually steal the seat from you. >> yeah, hi, laura, nice to beay with you and nice to have uss resolve. with clear election day on, itth was over. there was not a path to victory but an automatic recount in pennsylvania.sa what happen, you sell provisional ballots inco you so all election officials bucks county in particular saying they would knowingly violate the law where the law is clear threale supreme court ruld about what doesn't count ifre there i

dave mccormick beat senator casey by 17,000 votes. that's within the margin of error -- to trigger an automatic recount. >> bill: officials wanted counties to include ballots who failed to write in the date. heavily democratic counties. >> dana: the ruling is a victory for republicans. conservatives say it should have been a non-starter. >> imagine if republicans. if josh shapiro wants to be a leader he should make pennsylvania the blue state answer to florida. after the hanging chads in 2000. >> bill: the governor, democrat stepping in. nate foye has that from the new york city newsroom. where are we now, nate? good morning. >> good morning. senator-elect dave mccormick's campaign calls it a massive setback to casey's attempt to count illegal ballots. casey says he just wants to count every vote. pennsylvania supreme court ordered counties not to count mail-in ballots with incorrect dates. this reaffirms an earlier ruling that some democratic county officials promised to ignore. mccormick's campaign says buck county and others blatan

might have dave mccormick show up and chuck schumer and his staff try to block him? that is what is going to happen? >> i hope not. again, if chuck schumer is watching, this look, dig deep, there is some class in there somewhere. and make it happen for the american people. show that you care more about the country and stop being a partisan hack. >> brian: senator elect a big decision to make you told me all three contenders, rick scott john cornyn as well as senator thune have lobbied you to get your vote. how will you vote today -- or tomorrow, rather. >> let me say from the outset all three of them have been good men. helpful to me. great americans, great senators. for me this is a very consequential vote because it's potentially the case that i would only serve with this majority leader my entire time in the entire state senate i'm only going to serve for 12 years, god willing and come home. >> i want to understand who is best at implementing the agenda with president trump. who can actually work with president trump and make sure the agenda is implemented and wha

dave mccormick won't be able to be there for a orientation. what kind of game is schumer playing here? >> when i first read the article, dana, my thought was clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. senator schumer has a fatal attraction sometimes to nutty ideas. this is one of those times. what he is doing is petty. i know he is disappointed in the election, but he needs to go file a hurt feelings report and let's move on. dave mccormick should be able to attend orientation. >> bill: okay. another topic here. democrats are getting some interesting advice. one of which is have president biden step down and appoint kamala harris the first woman 47th president of the united states. this was floating out there all last week, justice sotomayor is expected to remain on the supreme court, she says, some liberal activity theists have called for the 70-year-old obama appointee to retire before trump can fill her seat. i don't know, you know? she has a vote in that issue, too, senator. >> i mean, all these people -- all these people floating thes

dave mccormick will be voting. outg outgoing chuck schumer has invited mccormick and gallego. bob casey refused to know coseed. seven million people cast their votes, our county election officials will finish counting like they do in every election, american democratic process was born in pennsylvania and will play out. on the south side, republicans are two seats from retaining control of the house. they secured 216 seats and democrats 207. in california 22nd republican valdeo has beaten democrat solis and mike levin held off gunderson. democrats have to nearly run the table to take control of the house. >> todd: keep up ddating the house. >> carley: what is taking so long? >> todd: thank you. pennsylvania senator elect dave mccormick just attended orientation, he will join us. >> carley: glad he got invited and samuel alito is planning to stay on the supreme court, dethe spite requests to step down. this man has never thought about this job from a political perspective, this is not co consistent with who he is. some republicans look to make way for a younger trump-picked the

mike: the ap called the race for the republican, dave mccormick.he fight saying, quote, democrats thumb their nose at the rule of law. quote, elections immediate rules, and they must be applied equally and consistently. rich, is it time for democrats to give up on this pennsylvania race? >> i think it's important to remember this is one of three senate races right now where the candidate who's behind has not conceded, the others being in arizona and wisconsin. we should all let this process play out. they're within the range of an automatic recount that would have to be completed by move 26th. if there are issues that have to be litigated in the courts, they will. but we go through i this every couple of years where races are very close, can come right down to the wire. as senator fetterman said, i'm sure if corps mix were in the same position, he'd be fighting. this'll be resolved very soon and the senate next january will reflect the will of the people. mike: bill maher is venting on his fellow democrats. let's play that. >> i'm is mad at the dem

he lost by just over 16,000 votes. >> i just called dave mccormick to congratulate him on his electionnited states senate. i want to thank the people of pennsylvania for granting me the privilege of serving them for 28 consecutive years in public office. thank you for the trust you've placed in me for all these years. it has been the honor of my lifetime. >> nbc's ryan nobles is on capitol hill. that's a throwback to when he first went in the senate and you actually made a gracious concession speech. but i wonder what dave mccormick had to say and any idea as well when the house might finally have those races called? >> reporter: yeah, well, to answer your last question about the house, that's up to the state of california. they're counting ballots there. there is a number of house races in the golden state that are yet to be determined. we do know that republicans will end up with control of the house, the margin of that victory is still yet to be determined. but it will be extraordinarily close. now, back to that pennsylvania senate race, talking about something that was extraordinar

and you know dave mccormick personally that was always going to be a tough race and he would be a career pennsylvania wanted change they wanted something different and i think it was a quiet status quo shifting too far to the left with the rest of the democratic party and he fell out with pennsylvanians. dave mccormick a west point graduate you is more in tuned with the state and donald trump's victory helped as well and they want normal common sense solutions they don't want liberal nonsense. >> i'm not going to lie total disclosure i guess it's confession time. i checked in with you a lot throughout the days leading up to the election and on election day. the day before the election they said mathematically based on early voting numbers that democrats would be able to make it the big vote on election day and you said the day before election day donald trump would win wisconsin how did you know? >> i knew because they have two buckets of vote as there is an early vote here and they have way too big of a hill to make of the vote on election day and with all three of the midwest states in

listen, you can learn more about me at dave mccormick .com. change versus the status quo. i'm excited to be with you, laura. thanks for having me. all right, dave, have fun at that game. that's going to be a big one saturday. of course, ohio state versus penn state. all right four days left. so what's trump's strategy here. hit as many states as possible. swing states. he's in michigan wisconsin tomorrow. he's going to north carolina and virginia. and on sunday he heads to pennsylvania, then back to north carolina before going back to georgia. and on monday, he has four stops scheduled. this reminds me of what happened in 2020 at four stops, five stops, three swing states with his last stop scheduled in grand rapids, michigan, joining me now, lara trump, rnc co-chair. lara, remember how cold it was in 2020 when he was in grand rapids? because i was there, we just talked about pennsylvania. now don lemon attacked the lancaster democrats about how they've been canvasing the area. lara, can't wait to hear your reaction to this. i hear folks saying it's only the harris folks, t

when i tell you can't be emotional, we have to do more than just elect dave mccormick.e have to elect donald trump. >> to pick missus for harris, first skipping out of the historic al smith dinner. >> a roomful of catholics and jews and new york city. [laughter] this is the layout for the democratic nominee. [laughter] >> she did not show. the second problem she had not taking joseph and password way. at this, he should have stopped him from something for her. >> we got to lock him up. [cheering] [applause] lock-in. >> it backs up everything trump is accusing him of doing, trying to put his a political appointment in jail so three days to go until the election, this is where the race stands right now. clear national poll harris trailing trump by three tenths of a. battleground states, all seven battleground states are for grabs. two things to keep in mind, when trump when it was 70000 votes for him. when he lost, he lost by 45000 states -- votes in those seven states. what about now? how much money they are spending and each state and how many visits. the candidates wil

are concerned about that aspect but ultimately we are at the hands of thousands of votes and dave mccormicke frankly, it is quite unconscionable of these counties are engaging in this behavior. we have been very clear about holding them accountable. our legal teams, rnc, we will hold the counties accountable for their actions because these election officials need to follow that allow. the supreme court in pennsylvania, which by the way, controlled by democrats have laid out what the law is. we are asking the counties to follow it and unfortunately two or more counties have decided that they will not do that. so we will fight to hold them accountable every day. >> carley: what you are referring to some democrat officials admitted to counting ballots the pennsylvania supreme court said should not be counted because they are lacking dates or signatures. here is one quote that really stands out. take a listen to this the bucks county commissioner what she plans to do with this recount effort. watch this. >> think we all know president by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country. people vi

dave mccormick winning it, first of all, he is the type of republican candidate that can win a statewhat this means for the democrats because we had sharad brian on. i have to say, i knew that one of the democrats would have trouble this year and i thought sherrod wouldn't because he had such a relationship with voters and he got beat. here was the shot across the bow for democrats and working- class voters. as you know, the casey family is a legend in pennsylvania. casey would win, he only lost by 17 points. white, working-class voters in pennsylvania love him, love his father, they stayed with the family through thick and thin. there weren't any close races. he has lost that. let's look at ohio. let's look at pennsylvania. asked, what does this mean for the democratic party. when we go on to talk about this, everyone i talk to, they say, you ran just about a "pitch perfect" race and yet, the headwinds for you, for casey for brown, just too much to get past. >> particular, you can run ahead of the ticket, there so much you can do. in the case of ohio, brown and casey, that is an all

if dave mccormick is declared the victor in pennsylvania that brings it up to 53.t is a bigger majority than republicans have seen in years, and certainly donald trump needs that to be able to do some of the widespread things he wants to do when it comes to the tax code and a couple of other things, as well. the board or one of them, as well, as you have reported on extensively. >> let the drama continue. julie sirkin, thank you so much. >>> up next, it may be trump's biggest promise. to deport millions of undocumented immigrants inside the united states. how would it work, and what will it look like? we are digging into that just next. next. >>> president-elect donald trump made that a centerpiece of his campaign rally, the key promise for his first day in the white house. he said that he would start deporting millions of undocumented immigrants living in the united states. the question is, now that we are here, how exactly will they do that? he has actually been very light on the details over just how the biggest deportation effort in history would actually work,

turn to the 53rd republican senator, senator-elect doug mccormick, former treasury official, dave mccormick'm looking at you. >> i thought you were talking about mastriano for a second. >> mccormick, you know him well, very experienced, but he's defeated a veteran democrat, his father was the governor and auditor general who i covered years ago in pennsylvania, he was outmatched. the elon musk factor as well. pennsylvania was just a boiler room for the republicans. >> yeah, so full disclosure, i was with senator elect mccormick last weekend. his wife is a friend. >> state department official. >> and either case, either of them would be a terrific senator. it took way too long for this to happen. republicans felt lectured for the better part of two years about small d democracy. we saw every machination of how can we stall this result in pennsylvania, defying court orders. >> let me push back a bit. there are plenty of legal opinions that the -- whether the signature is on the outer envelope or inner is not a machination. it is a very controversial decision. eighth & >> today, in 2000, i wou

the pennsylvania state supreme court is a victory for republican dave mccormick reconfirming its decisionunties cannot count misdated on undated ballots. election boards in at least four counties have vowed to count ballots that were improperly filled out. openly scra disregarding state . diane ellis march seeing la a democrat tried rationalize the move after the court's first decision on thursday, listen to this precedent doesn't matter anymore in this country. people violate the law any time they want. for me if i violate the law, i want the court to pay attention to it. >> todd: pennsylvania governor josh shapiro urging counties to respect the state supreme court's any insinuation our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process. the roughly law matters in this commonwealth and as i have always said, it is critical for counties and officials in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions. mccormick currently leads democrat incumbent senator bob casey by about 17,000 vossments the associated press calle

dave mccormick is senator elect.asey drags this out, the worse it looks for him, like a pathetic punctuation mark on a long political career with a famous last name. it's not a good look. it's not a good way to go out. make no mistake. is he going out. >> brian: check out guy benson's radio show. he will have more on this and more from 12:00 to 3:00 eastern time. thanks so much, guy. talk to you later. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: you got it. trump's classified documents case could be reaching an end, da da da da. ♪ icare advantage. they love that they get more benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and rides to appointments. they tell me they pay less out of pocket for everyday expenses like their prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, doctor's visits. with medicare advantage, they get more for less. and i found it's made a really big impact. this is franklin graham. the southern part of the united states got hit by terrific storms this fall. so many people have been hurt. we all go through storms in life. it m

numbers, br everything t, the race -- that senate race in pennsylvania between bob casey and dave mccormickrmick with 81% of the vote in is leading by a point, point and a half. i think that race, if mccormick wins that race, i think it's likely to say that president trump will win the commonwealth as well. building on some of the points, reacting to some of the points where my friends on the other side of the table. you know, my party often says that donald trump can't do enough on the border. he rejected a bill that would have been a compromise, that he didn't lay out specific. he said no taxes on tips, no tax it is on overtime, that that wasn't a full-throated economic plan. and all that may be true, or but sometimes old politics and life isn't fair. and he's a different kind of candidate. i think if we look back, and this race is not over. we've got three, the blue wall here to hold, but if we look back at this, i think one of the things this campaign is going to to wish they had done probably more effectively was just lay out a bit of a plan if on the economy and inflation and growth.

power as of now, it's not done yet, republicans have 52, democrats, 44, there are open seats, dave mccormick, for example in pennsylvania, holds a narrow lead over the incumbent democrat bob casey but we don't know how that will play out and of course in the house, it's too early to know, republicans have 209, democrats have 191 but there hasn't been a call yet in 35 seats in the house of representatives. >> and i think the likelihood in the senate is probably 53- 47. mccormick, seems likely to win that. the house is trending to become a republican-led house. once again if republicans to hold the house, it'll be a narrow majority and one-party rule, yes you can get a lot done. it's difficult to legislate when you have to be really according to get things done. people have a different ideology within the house republican conference, people like lisa murkowski and susan collins in the senate, which is why that one additional seat that dave mccormick could get, would be hugely significant. you lose collins and murkowski and you can still pass something but jd vance breaks the tie. every vote is

>> in pennsylvania we see dave mccormick has a clear lead and here the lead is a little bit over 40,000 a few reasons this hasn't been called? number one in pennsylvania as long as the races within half a percentage rate it means it will be recounted. here there are still only 92% of the vote in. we are waiting for a few more votes to see if it winds up within half a point. >> thank you, harry enten. >>> his promise to make the economy great again and the question is how and one of my next guest suggest that the president can do so by playing golf on day one. she will explain next. your business needs a network it can count on... even during the unexpected. power's out! power's out! -power's out! power's out! -power's out comcast business has you covered, with wifi backup to help keep you up and running. wifi's up. let's power on! let's power on! let's power on! -let's power on! it's from the company with 99.9% network reliability. plus advanced security. let's power on! power on with the leader in connectivity. powering possibilities. comcast business. power's out. >>> donald trump got

dave mccormick won. he won fair and square. votes than his opponent bob casey, he needs to be part of orientation. i hope to see him today or tomorrow and will do everything to help him become a successful senator. >> brian: good luck on wednesday, see what happens as majority leader. thank you. nobody works harder, rick scott never stops. may have lost the election, one of v.p. harris' former staffers has a wild suggestion. >> he could resign presidency in next 30 days, make kamala harris president of the united states and absolve her. >> wow. we have a noble purpose. our purpose is not just closing a loan. we want to do whatever is best for the individual service person. we want to be known as america's mortgage company for veterans and active duty service people, and they and their families. we're the ones that are there to help them. people are doing hard, arduous, difficult, dangerous things. some of them are giving their lives right now today for the freedoms that we have here in this country. they're willing to do that f

the republican dave mccormick and the democrat the current senator, senator bob republicans tonight,a supreme court has just ruled that election officials must stop counting mail in ballots that were invalidated because of an incorrect or missing date on the outer envelope. okay. makes sense. and republicans, including elon musk, have claimed democrats are actually trying to steal the election by pushing to count those ballots now pennsylvania democrats have been trying very hard to steal the senate seat that dave mccormick won. >> you cannot allow partisan election officials to defy a court order. >> senator casey has taken election denial to another level now and i said it makes sense, you know? >> hey the ballot the date doesn't match okay. but the reality of it is, is two years ago, mccormick fought to have those very ballots counted when he was on the other side of the equation, he was losing to mehmet oz and that was in the senate gop primary. mccormick argued in a 2022 court filing, and i quote the board's only basis for disenfranchizing these voters is a technical error that
