guest: i don't own it or run anymore, but i think david wasserman has done 15 or 20 changes in the lastew weeks. i note jessica taylor just moved , she moved, where did she just move today's ago? see, one of the things i have in my mind, sometimes i have moments like, and my mind i think ohio is a top. host: whether you have in your mind? guest: i think democrats need to push federman out. the thing is, i think each party, ok this is a little snarky. people asked me who i think is 21 pennsylvania. mike -- who is going to win pennsylvania. had democrats -- had republicans nominated mccormick, i think the party would be much better off. host: what you think about georgia question mark -- gorgeous? >> you can watch more of this at c-span.org. we take you live to las vegas where barack obama is campaigning for the midterm election. right now, it is the governor speaking to thow

. >>> joining us now is cook political report senior editor david wasserman. you're the guru of the house seats. have you seen enough? >> what today comes back to is democrats never started out with a mandate to begin with. and in 2020, joe biden took on a historically unpopular president. trump had a 53% disapproval rating. and yet, joe biden only carried wisconsin, arizona, georgia, nevada and pennsylvania, by less than 2.5%. he won the median house district, by 2.1%. and now, president biden is the one with a 53% disapproval rating. the laws of political gravity are working in republicans' favor. the likeliest outcome, is that republicans pick up house seats. and democrats are hanging on for dear life in the senate. there's a chance that democrats hold pennsylvania and won in nevada, arizona and georgia today. >> let's talk a little more about the senate. where do you see democrats having the best shot to hold on? >> i think the root is still in arizona and georgia, and pennsylvania. they got to hold on to three of the four core states, nevada being the fou

house editor of "the cook political report," david wasserman, former director of the new york state democratic party, michael, and political analyst susan del percio. so what are you forecasting for the runoff as it stands now? >> i like senator warnock's odds in this runoff. first of all, brian kemp, the most popular republican official on the state, is not going to be on the ballot driving turnout. senate control is not on the line so republicans can't make that argument. that's one of the reason herschel walker is using transgender athletes in sports as one of his closing messages and not dethrone chuck schumer from senate majority leader. finally, democrats simply have a better oiled turnout machine after the runoffs in 2021, and so far there appears to be solid democratic enthusiasm to turn out early. >> susan, herschel walker underperformed on election day compared to governor brian kemp's numbers. can you see him possibly making this up? >> i can, and one of the reasons is if you look at the kemp/abrams race, you saw 28,000 people vote on the libertarian line. and then it popped up to 8

and i always credit it to david wasserman at the cook political report.you have a republican house member or vice versa. you voted for trump, and you've got a democratic house member, and there are so few of them in the country right now. there are only 16 of them. in the whole country. that shows how polarized we are. almost every place, if you voted for biden you, got a democratic rep. if you voted for trump, you got a red rep. that number went up a little bit. the latest projections from both cook political report and "axios" show about 23 seats this time are cross over, a few more. why that matters is that's going to give a little more pull, a little more muscle to a moderating force in the mccarthy conference. we know the forces that are going to be pulling him the other way, but the fact that you have almost doubled the number of republicans this time who are in these crossover districts, that could be a counter veiling force. >> president biden turned 80 yesterday and he and his family over the thanksgiving holiday are going to start talking about

. >> joining me now, david wasserman, senior editor with cook political report, brendan buck, and alaina, guys. the kind of major oprah endorsement when it comes to john fetterman. new poll out today showing fetterman up six points. of course, polling is polling and it's really going to come down to election day. oz, of course, being someone who is essentially, quote/unquote, discovered by oprah winfrey back in the day saying he respects her decision. how much traction do you think oprah's endorsement of fetterman is going to have in pennsylvania? >> i think this is going to be an important oprah bounce. i worked for president barack obama in the early primary states when she both endorsed him and showed up with him on the campaign back in 2007 and what she does is a couple of things in the minds of voters. first, she has both a level of trust and intimacy with her audience, right? they are a diverse audience including women over the age of 55 who have read her books, read her magazine, interacted with her media in some fashion who trust her. she also proves viability. so for people -- s

guest: i don't own it or run anymore, but i think david wasserman has done 15 or 20 changes in the last few weeks. i note jessica taylor just moved , she moved, where did she just move today's ago? see, one of the things i have in my mind, sometimes i have moments like, and my mind i think ohio is a top. host: whether you have in your mind? guest: i think democrats need to push federman out. the thing is, i think each party, ok this is a little snarky. people asked me who i think is 21 pennsylvania. mike -- who is going to win pennsylvania. had democrats -- had republicans nominated mccormick, i think the party would be much better off. host: what you think about georgia question mark -- gorgeous? >> you can watch more of this at c-span.org. we take you live to las vegas where barack obama is campaigning for the midterm election. right now, it is the governor speaking to the crowd.

david valadao is up 5%. the democrat areas are not as good for the democrats. i would much rather be us for california 13 and for california 22 than the democrats. >> so dave wasserman, you him? >> yes. >> sean: he's with cook reporting? >> yes. >> sean: he said that they're cooked based on his math. do you agree with him and how big the margin will be? >> house republicans are going to win the house. nancy pelosi will be fired. kevin mccarthy will be speaker. there's zero excuse why all of the national media has not called the house for house republicans. >> sean: we appreciate it, mike. good job. thanks for being with us. joining us now, former speaker of the house, newt gingrich is with us. one thing that puzzled me. you said something that every model you've known has been thrown off this election. we weren't supposed to pick up seats in 2020. we picked up 16, i think, in 2020. nobody expected that. here republicans win the 0 popular vote by about five million votes and picking up fewer than everybody thought but still getting a majority. your thought. >> well, first of all, the democrats were brilliant at targeting where to put resources. i talked two days ago
