mike lawler beat dccc sean patrick maloney, the chairman, becoming the first to oust a sitting house campaign committee chair since 1992. on long island, george san toast defeating democrat robert zimmerman by nearly 10 points in a long island district joe biden won by double digits. and in the next district over, retired new york city police department detective anthony d'espisito winning a house seat held by democrats for roughly two decades. here now on their very exciting week those three new york congressman elect. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> steve: all right. so, mike, you know, we have been talking about where's the red wave. there walls a red wave on long island. >> absolutely. and across new york state. you know, we are going to send # 1 members from the new york to congress and that will ultimately deliver the house majority for republicans. and, you know, being in the hudson valley, rockland county, west chester, putnam, duchess we defeated the chair of the dccc first time in 42 years. and, you know, today hillary clinton, bill clinton

including the dccc.ying these election deniers, aren't you holding responsibility to a degree for the undermining of democracy that you are also warning about? >> oh my god! jake, let's be really clear, that clip you just played, it was who is questioning the outcome of elections. that started with donald trump, and we all know it. let's be clear, that $53 million, it is $400,000 at the dccc and one race, one, where we ran a true, general election ad two weeks early, calling john gibbs an extremist who is too conservative for western michigan. >> it's a boost -- >> and hillary, who is a great candidate, is going to beat him like a drum. so if you want to ask the people who spent all that other money, that is great. let's be clear, not one dime was spent from the dccc supporting any republican. it was spent criticizing a republican for being too extreme, and it is going to result in a pro-choice, strong candidate named hillary skull time winning that race. >> come on, you guys were boosting john gibbs, an

not one dime was spent from the dccc supporting any republican. a republican for being too extreme, and it is going to result in a pro-choice strong candidate named hillary skull ton winning that race. >> come on, you guys were boosting john gibbs, an election denier, a maga republican so he would beat congressman peter meijer, who voted to impeach donald trump after the capital attacks. you thought gibbs would be easier for your democratic candidate to beat, so you boosted him. that's -- that's the only reason he won that race. >> well, you're using that word boost, kind of cute. other people say it kind of funding their campaigns iechlts ridiculous. we're attacking them. but we're absolutely right, we thought he was an easier candidate and he has proven to be because he's a nut and he's too conservative for western michigan. and hillary skoel ton is getting ready to beat him. that is my focus is making sure we bring common sense democrats to congress who are going to move our country forward. and let's be clear, again, $400,000 out of a $340 mil

the seat held by the dccc chair sean patrick maloney. that's a very important role he played in fundraising. it's an important role in each party. each party has this. the liberal media, however, gave him the opportunity to downplay his defeat. >> you helped your caucus in a million different ways. >> thank you for taking an arrow for democrats and for defending them the way you did and helping them have such a great night. >> before you carve me in marble i lost my seat. if we did better than anybody expected it is because we have a good president, ladies and gentlemen, and a rock star in the speaker of the house. >> harris: speaker pelosi has thrown shade at the big upset. republicans may have gained a meaningless victory with this race because it has clearly come at the expense of other possible republican wins. that doesn't change the fact that a sitting house campaign committee chair has not lost re-election in 30 years. as she often does alexandria ocasio-cortez tore into her own party. here is what she tweeted. new york state demo

we've got talented staff at the dccc. let's try to retain some of that talent, and then we did miss some things, right? nobody had lauren boebert on our radar screen. we got our butt kicked in south florida. we've got to understand that, and what we normally do in new york, we would be talking about the majority and speaker hakeem jeffries. >> republicans today telegraphed at least one of their investigations that's coming into hunter biden. you are on house foreign affairs. we know there will be an investigation into the chaotic first forum. do you think there should be more oversight and investigation into the u.s.'s decision to pull out, and how it was executed? 13 americans were killed. >> certainly we should try to understand what happened -- what happened with the withdrawal out of afghanistan and what we can do better next time, but if it's a political circus to try to smear the president, that doesn't solve any answers. that's what we saw with benghazi, you know? we understood there were mishaps at benghazi and we

going to start this hour with some breaking news, that shocker out of new york, the chairman of the dcccn patrick maloney conceded to michael lawler. over in the senate, control hinges on four key races. in arizona, you have mark kelly with the lead, but that's too early to call. same story in nevada, too early to call. but the republican adam laxalt is ahead. in wisconsin it's too close to call. ron johnson holding a slight lead over mandela barnes and in georgia, the race between warnock and walker is so close it could end up as a runoff. >> control of the house is also up in the air. neither side has reached the magic number, which, as you can see, is 218. and it's just as tight in the governor's races. less than an hour ago, nbc news called the kansas race for the democrat laura kelly. both parties have won 16 of the governorships that were contested, four races are yet to be called. >> steve kornacki is tracking all of this and will join us in just a minute. florida's republican governor ron desantis, one of the biggest wins of the night. >> you want to be ron desantis. this is a hu

that is shawn patrick maloney, the chair of the dccc. the dccc had a historically incredible night. ironically, the chairman loses in his own district. huge margins outside where the districts are. so that is the biggest single blow democrats have taken so far has been in new york state. the bottom line, there are 16 democratic held districts that were republicans have now flipped. that is smaller than people were expecting going in. where we would be right now, a number that is bigger than many were expecting is the democrats so far flipped six republican seats. what are republicans targeting and hoping to win that are democratic held right now? where else could republicans get gains? again, i think a couple things jump out on this list. first of all, look how many are in california. this is the thing with california. it is limited results that we'll see right now. its going to be in many cases weeks until we get clarity in some of the races. what democrats need to do is defend every seat i'm showing you. the 13th district which is purely created. they need julia brown in the 26. t

this guy is head of the dccc. when things are tough, we eat chef boyardee. he said maybe it's time for you to start eating chef boyardee. how clueless are these democrats? >> dana: if you could put the entire election cycle into one clip, it would have been this one about chef boyardee. because he is in charge of getting other democrats elected. this election is about the inflation and the economy. and also, because voters keep saying, i don't feel that the white house, the president actually cares about what i care about. and not only did he say to eat chef boyardee. let's go back a little bit. remember john kerry told energy workers just get a green job. they said oh, gas is high. buy an electric vehicle. that was from mayor pete. they said look at my little notes here, you know what? they want to let them bike to work, put on a sweater, basically, because heating oil will be so high. it's not just president biden that has said this, this is like a strategy which is why hillary rosen, a long time democratic strategist is saying wow, we are in bad shape. >>

and curt bar della is now an adviser to the dnc and dccc, and chief white house correspondent for "the new york times," peter baker. good to have you all on board. we'll get to the historical and political implications of nancy pelosi step do you think from her leadership position, but first, it's a very revealing reaction yesterday by many house republicans to her speech. you would think -- gracious? the house chamber was packed with democratic lawmakers. while the republican side was largely empty. at several points democrats stood for applause while republicans sat in silence. meanwhile, minority leader kevin mccarthy, who was hoping to succeed nancy pelosi as house speaker next term, he didn't even attend her speech. here's what he told reporters about why he didn't go. >> i had meetings. but normally the others would do it during votes. i wish she could have done that. could have done that. >> had meetings. with steven miller. >> he had meetings with steven miller. that's right. he did, actually. this is no joke. >> yeah. i mean, i asked -- we saw steven miller walk into mccarthy'

but the dccc is also doing a call i don't even know what time it is anymore, but around noon, they will speaker pelosi, with maloney on it, and they will kind of brief house democrats on what has happened here in the last 24 hours. i think though that chris makes a really good point with you can't just throw something in the computer and expect the model to spit out what is actually going to happen in reality. certainly tonight is a really good example of that. and i've been talking to pollsters and strategists who have over the course of the last five years been wondering how do we poll correctly because these electorates are shifting so much. but i think in this one the thing i keep coming back to as someone who has covered reproductive rights and access for so long, when you are in a period that is post roe that has been theoretical and not tested for so long, you can't model against something that you haven't seen for 49 years. and i think that is one of the things that we're seeing here. not the only trend, but one of the key reasons. >> it seems like many times they are surprised,

and it will make the difference, what cost them keeping the majority of the dccc chairman himself losinging the place where democrats lost four seats. that could end up being the difference in this thing. >> i think that's what's in the encyclopedia under tragic irony. california, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you. steve kornacki, thank you as always, my friend. we are just a few minutes away from the new drop of votes from arizona's maricopa county, but up next, we will talk live with the house head of the house of progressives, congresswoman jayapal. we will be right back. just one dose starts to relieve 9 of your worst cold and flu symptoms, to help take you from 9 to none. for max-strength nighttime relief, nyquil severe. hey guys, detect this: living with hiv, i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. detect this: no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pil

there will be more to say from the chairman of the dccc in new york. from new york, another key state being focused on in thisycle, the silver state of nevada. the gubernatorial race a key race there. governor steve sisolak down at 50 -- at 45%. joe lombardo at 50 percent. senator catherine cortez masto trying to hold onto her seat. adam likes it a republican from a dynasty at 49%. the senator at 47.2%. 72% reporting out there. this is the latest headline from the las vegas review journal. adam waxhaw takes the lead. it seems like it is going to be a while until we know the final vote. john walton, a longtime political reporter in nevada, these are his tweets about the state senate race. he said catherine cortez masto would be behind at the end of election day counting but the margin is very important because the democrats are almost certainly going to win outstanding mail ballots out of thousands. he went on to tweet this morning, "here is the math, if there is 100,000 mail ballots left in clark county, that would make sense based on the turnout, if d

that is sean patrick maloney, the chair of the dccc, they hadn't incredible night.s chairman who loses in his own district, with four democratic seats having flipped to the republicans in new york state. that's a consequence that kathy hochul won her -- the raid up huge by just a tenth of new york city, where these districts are. that's a single blow the democrats have taken so far, new york state. there are 16 democratic held districts that republicans have now flipped, and it is smaller than people were expecting going in. where we are right now, a number that's bigger than new york's the democrats have so far flipped six republican seats. he start with a 16 republican gain, and now you're seeing on the screen a republican district that democrats succeeded in flipping. that is shaved down to ten with what we have. first, let's look at this way. what are republicans hoping to win with the democrats? where else could they -- look at california, there are five democratic held seats in california, republicans are hoping to flip them. josh harder for example, this is t

we're getting a lot of support not frist the dccc, but the house majority pac, which is the other bigemocratic national organization. i have vastly outraised my republican opponent. when democrats nationally look at the balance, how much are we spending versus how much the republicans are spending, we're roughly even in my district. there's some other places where things don't look quite as good. so i think that's why i'm not on the final list. this is going to come down to turnout in my district. the polls shows a tied race. where we have a huge advantage is that in this year, unlike 2020, and much like in 2018, we've got our army of volunteers out at the doors again. the republicans don't have that. >> look, it's clear that there are some headwinds you're facing that are out of your control, whether it's the economy, inflation, a goods prices, i get that. but there are some things that are problems you created for yourself. you're currently under an ethic says investigation after you failed to disclose stock trading, so my final question to you is, why should your stutz have faith a

[cheers and applause] sean patrick maloney, which will be the first time in over 40 years a dccc chairt his reelection. [cheers and applause] not only that but long island anthony ds with acetyl wanted to see joe biden by 17 points. [cheers and applause] we are on the verge of historic gains in new york and in florida we gain four seats alone. we are poised to sweep the entire state of iowa. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] and i will tell you from the southern border from virginia beach of jim kiggins to detroit with john james and houston with wesley hunt, we are expanding this party. [cheers and applause]

one of those winners even defeating dccc chairman maloney.lawler says he owes his success to this. >> i focused on inflation, crime, education. those were the issues that my constituents cared about. this is a d plus three district. joe biden won it by ten points. folks were very fed up in new york with one-party rule. >> david avila and leslie marshall. great to see you both on this holiday week. appreciate you joining us. david. first to you. mike lawler ran a race we watched closely. i can remember sean duffy saying it was the house race to watch, right? he was able to flip it against a very powerful democrat in washington, sean patrick maloney. so the obvious question or any lessons learn and what does it indicate for 2024? >> we get majorities by winning those districts that you just had on the screen, sandra. we expand our majorities by going after democrats in trump districts and holding them accountable for being the conservatives they campaigned on. mccarthy in the first month should make democrats vote on whether we'll keep the chil

sean patrick maloney which will be the first time in over 40 years the dccc chair lost his reelection. not only that, but oblong island, anthony diaz petito won a seat that joe biden carried by 17 points. we are on the verge of historic gains in new york. in florida we gained 4 seats alone. we are poised to sweep the entire state of iowa. and i will tell from you the southern border of monica dela cruz to houston with wesley hunt, we are expanding this party. let me tell you, you are out late. but when you wake up tomorrow, we'll be in the majority, and nancy pelosi will be in the minority. [cheers and applause] the american people are ready for a majority that will offer a new direction, that will put america back on track, republicans are ready to deliver. it's a new direction towards an economy that's strong where you can fill up your tank, feed your family, where our paychecks grow and not shrink. a new direction towards a nation that is safe, where communities are protected and law enforcement is respected and criminals are prosecuted. a new direction towards a future built on fr

new york, very blue state and you got the head of the dccc. >> bill: was amazing, can you see this, keyed in new york? >> judge jeanine: my whole life. >> bill: one, two, three 456-789-1011, 12 races we are watching in new york. why is that. here is one, new york 17, it's a new district for sean patrick maloney up against a good candidate, mike lawler. maloney runs the democratic congressional campaign comm committee. republicans have spent millions on this raise. g.o.p. wants to take them down. don't know if they can. hudson river valley north of new york city, something both parties have been watching very carefully. >> dana: your district, judge? i thought that was her district but it's not. >> bill: do you live in 17? >> judge jeanine: no. >> bill: do you know where you live? >> judge jeanine: i live in westchester. i ran five times. >> dana: i will do the knee capping. this actually just happened in the commercial break when you went upstairs. jesse saw a real clear politics has just moved to colorado senate race to a toss-up. what do you think of them apples? >> bill: who did? >>

when it comes to michael oller beating the head of the dccc, that is a big win.n though lee zeldin ends up losing to kathy hochul, that is a big pickup there. >> that is something. republicans nationally in new york, they don't lose lee zeldin with a debt of gratitude. at the end of the day, it looks like we will pick up for congressional seats in new york. that doesn't happen without lee zeldin at the top of the ticket and places like michael oller, george santos, anthony d'esposito that all won. lee zeldin won in those districts by significant margins. what we see in the polling was lee zeldin and the republican congressional candidates were getting similar vote to what he got. >> carley: like i said before we go to the senate, obviously you need to take control of the house. what number do you think is ultimately going to happen for republicans versus democrats? where do things stand in the end? >> i think 222 range. >> carley: which is kind of where democrats are right now so sort of a flip. >> that is exactly right, but it is an important flip because again,

>> actually it is a mixed bag, you saw a good candidate take out the dccc chairman in new york maloney, but. historically, this should have been a better night for republicans in terms of the party in charge and white house losing more seats than they did. i think it will be interesting to watch what the fi find results are in senate on the west coast, they are still counting votes, you may see a r reader wave in senate than in the house. joe biden and democrats made the decision to keep him off of the campaign trail, outside of pennsylvania, that actually worked for him. a final point, i think it is go i thing when outsiders try to get into politics good this walker and laker not lifetime politicians who climb the ladder of getting into the different offices, but you see the issue of experience paying off in places like florida with marco rubio and ron desantis who was also in the house before he went to the governor's mansion. i don't want to discourage people who are outsiders from running, maybe they mneed more support in last weeks of their election. kennedy: you are right. that g

patrick maloney mike malone accorded me for swing vote in over a quarter million for dems the cycle dccce and he denies it. if he is unaware of my visit to california and the efforts we put an end, that is on him." this is just infighting within the democratic party in new york. >> brian: california also can't count votes, by the way. the mayor in a city, how do you not be able to count votes in one city? unbelievable the mayor of los angeles i'm talking about. >> will: okay lifestyle company origin usa committed to american manufacturing despite high costs brought on by inflation. >> ainsley: partners pete roberts and navy seals are boosting veterans inside the company. >> brian: and that is not what it's all about, because business network from origin usa in farmington maine. >> good morning, everybody. what a incredible way to spend veterans day and i will bring in the cofounder origin and we spoke to around this time last year and aunt that time coming you guys expanded to two states there. what is driving this insane growth in your business? >> [broken up audio] speed when we are ta

new york district 17, and it's a new district because of redistricting, and he's the chair of the dcccge of making sure democrats maintain control of the house and his seat is vulnerable today. >> thank you. from new york i want to go to texas. beto o'rourke against abbott. >> reporter: the message is to get out and vote. i will step out of the way and show you the amount of voters, both democrats and republican, and republicans are out on the lawn shouting at voters, and they are saying vote your pocketbook. there's a line out the door here at the polling site. it has been this way all morning, and many points it has bench longer than this line, and what voters are thinking about, is what governor abbott has been talking about the last couple of days, jobs and the economy and the need to do more at the border. at the same time, beto o'rourke delivering a different message, health care access and abortion and slamming abbott for the power grid issues the state what a seen. i did speak to one democratic voter and i want to play for you what she told me was on her mind. >> i am scared fo

maloney head of the dccc treeing lawlor. he will join us next hour. if he hangs on, that, too, would be a flip. let me move a little more down here. 18, if schmitt can beat pat ryan but not just yet. 19 would not be, 22 is -- what you have in new york. you have the possibility let's move over here that republicans could flip four house races in the state of new york alone and probably based on the strength of zeldin's performance against hochul. >> dana: republicans had a decent night in new york. not necessarily every where else, bret baier. how are you? good to have you. >> good morning. it all rolls together. >> bill: i think i saw you at 3:00 in the lobby. what is your take right now based on what we're seeing and what we think is happening? >> i think republicans had a wave in exactly one state, florida. and florida today looks more like arkansas. there is no statewide democrat for the first time since reconstruction. that's a huge story on the republican side. i think that the fox polling unit did a fantastic job. and i think we will see that ou

we have other tony carnes, i hope he wins the dccc chairman.e adding so many new hispanics in the house of representatives. of course, in the senate. we have some of the hispanics there. yes, when you look at the makeup. i think we're getting a lot more hispanics in the congress and that's the way it should be to reflect america. >> very interesting. you leaned more conservative than many democratic colleagues when it comes to issues like abortion. how do you think that will play heading into 2024? >> you know, i understand, you know, abortions are very important issue. look, i am pro-life. but i believe in the exception to rape, insincest, health of t woman and think there should be some restrictions, especially late term abortions but i don't believe in a total ban and i'm not going to impose my religion on anybody else but i understand, you know, what the supreme court did. they did not follow precedent and even though some of those recent supreme court judges that were going through the nominations, they said they would respect the preceden

not only we won the majority we beat the dccc chair that has not happened in 42 years.won seats that biden won by 1. we won in new york and oregon and california and texas, we won across this nation. >> jesse: what do you think the ultimate number you are going to hit in the house is going to be after you finish counting. >> we will see when they finish counting i think we will pick up more seats in california. quaky porter is a seat i believe at the end of the day we win. we have new star from jen kiggans in virginia beach. delacruz. john james wesley hunt in houston. this party has expanded like we have never seen before. these are new, fresh faces that are going to be rock stars in the republican party for the future. thank you for coming on "primetime." >> thank you, jesse. >> jesse: it hay come to herschel caulker's run off in virginia. he is ted cruz and turning the corner join us next ea driving, . (customer) something like that... (burke) well, here's something else: with your farmer's policy perk, new car replacement, you can get a new one. (customer) that is s

sean patrick maloney which will be the first time in over 40 years the dccc chair lost his reelection oblong island, anthony diaz petito won a seat that joe biden carried by 17 points. we are on the verge of historic gains in new york.

in the hudson valley, rockland county, west chester, putnam, duchess, we defeated the chair of the dccc for the first time in 42 years. >> the reality is americans at large here on long island and in new york state were just fed up. and they just wanted change. and i think we saw that red wave coming out through long island up into the hudson valley. we stuck to the issues that matter to the people in our district. and while the democrats were out there trying to create issues that really weren't at the forefront of what mattered to the people that we want to represent. >> brian: part of the reason is, the 47% of the vote, 47% plus of the vote that lee zeldin got. so he made people and looked at the ballots. zeldin go straight down. got zeldin going to go straight down. i think he got an extra 500,000 votes and the guy that ran in 2018 against andrew cuomo. so, for 500,000 people they had a way to look down the ticket. also a sense on long island, staten island, as well as west chester and upstated new york issue. enough to try to change courses. evidently the thing that killed lee zeld

dccc facilitated now and he denies it if he isn't aware of my visit to california and efforts we pute carolina panthers getting their revenge against the atlanta falcons at home toppling them 25-15 for their third win of the season. the panthers getting a whopping 130 yards from panthers' running back dionte foreman including a big touchdown to secure the win. the falcons falling to 4-6 on the season. and a little sunshine this early morning, fan cons left tackle jake matthews seen arriving just in time before thursday's game in carolina after his wife went into labor in atlanta. safe to say he and his wife welcome add healthy little falcon into the world. congratulations to them. those are your headlines. who doesn't love that image? >> brian: i will say this on a less important note. why are all the thursday game bad poor al michaels what am i doing? >> will: did you see how bad last week .12. to run my record to 0-9 winless. >> ainsley: and he started it. he made us all do this. who is winning? >> will: adam klotz is in first place. that's right, carley. more turmoil at twitter as

a big reason why the of the dccc was in trouble.ocrats around the country, not just himself. republican mike waller was the one who had a lot more time to spend on that race. katie porter in california, also a majority new district. we'll have to see how things shake out there. that race is not over. >> before we let you go, we've come to appreciate your catch phrase, i've seen enough, when you've called a race. as we talk about the state of arizona, kornacki was breaking down when we might get vote on the governor and senator's race there. what's your time line on that? how closely are you watching, and when do you think we might know something there. >> i would rather be mark kelly than blake masters, and kari lake than katie hobbs at this point, but the mail drop out of maricopa last night was pretty good for democrats. we've still got hundreds of thousands of ballots left to count there, and, you know, i'd rather be mark kelly than catherine cortez masto. we'll see what happens in nevada, democrats will probably prevail in the h

you have to understand what it symbolizes, the dccc chair. this is the equivalent to 1994 to the speaker losing. this is a real play. they tried to ignore it but you look at lawlor as state assemblyman who won a seat that was pretty democrat. >> bill: the hudson river valley. both sides spent millions in that race. i need to be at the board. we'll see what happens. thank you for your time. >> dana: we'll be talking to you. appreciate it. the world's richest man versus a fire brand. why musk and aoc are slugging it out over twitter. >> bill: how bad will the rate hike hurt american families. >> dana: the biden administration throwing out an economic lifeline as the price of heating your home sores. >> they are deliberately hurting the american public and everyone needs to know this while they blame oil companies and profits. that's an indirect attack on capitalism. oh, hey. buying a car from vroom is so easy, all you need is a phone and a finger. just go to vroom.com, scroll through thousands of cars. then, tap to buy. that's it. no sales spea

they managed to flip four house seats and defeat the chairman of the dccc, sean patrick maloney.bill, that narrower than expected victory for hochul has a lot of people saying well, new yorkers are now getting a taste of what actual real political competition looks like. or tastes like, i should say. take a look at city journal, the fierce contest has accrued benefits and will pay dividends not only to new yorkers, but to millions who may have preferred hochul to her competitor. >> i agree with that, although new york city still went for kathy hochul by large numbers. you know, one said democracy is the idea people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. i think new york is going to get that. kathy hochul showed some signs that she realized her vulnerabilities at the end. she was running ads portraying her as a crime fighter, which is absurd. >> sandra: in the last month, really. but yes. >> yes, exactly. i think that's a key to what she's going do, change her policies, no. i think democrats largely say gee, we didn't get the message out that our policies are rea

republican mike lawler unseated the dccc chair maloney in new york. >> governor hochul should look at the results and recognize that voters are not only dissatisfied, but they want change. she has a responsibility. i have said many times if the state of new york refuses to act, then the federal government needs to intervene. this is outrageous. government's primary responsibility is to insure the public safety. >> harris: a new op-ed argues in voting for governor new yorkers were clear they want a safer city but not panicked enough to vote for a republican. that's fair but democrats and their enablers are responding with gibberish. democrats should focus on cutting crimes. instead settling on a different solution. the problem isn't crime but that the public knows too much about crime. i mean, that's slightly ignorant. jason rantz, seattle ktth radio host. really? the public knows too much so they don't know how to vote because they're overeducated on crime? >> or we just don't understand the actual data. that's the other thing. we've been told how many times that we are just wrong. th

but back in january of this year he sent a memo from the dccc demanding they gerrymander the districtshat. and then what he did is he pushed out the first openly gay black man out of congress to choose this congressional seat. problem for him is, 75% of the district is new to him. he only represents 25% of the district. i represent 20% of the district in the state assembly. he doesn't have the built in advantages of encouple ban si. and 50% of the district has a cop, firefighter or first responder living in it. so people are focused on inflation and crime, and on both he owns it. democrats for the first time in our nation's history control everything in washington, albany, and new york city at once and created a mess. >> you think crime is resonating? it feels like, in your race and other races around new york, it's surprising that republicans are doing so well in what is typically blue. i live in liz cee zeldin's dist. i know suffolk can be red. do you believe that issue, crime, is what has been resonating and lifts republicans -- >> absolutely. i live in the immediate suburbs of new

. >> all i know the dccc and the mouse majority pact supported me and the millions of dollars to counter- >> neil: it's just the progressives that don't like you. >> well, some don't. i actually have very good friends that are progressives. i always tell my progressive friends, look at the definition of progressive. that means you're open to new ideas. it's not only their idea. being a progressive should be opening up to other ideas. >> neil: okay. good seeing you, congressman. congratulations on your comfortable victory. henry cuellar from the beautiful state of texas. all right. meantime, george pataki still is the last republican governor of new york. it's been more than 20 years. he was hoping and working aggressively on behalf of lee zeldin that came up close within four or five points, which is unthinking in this blue of blue states. governor, good to have you. however close that race was, some are saying there were some other benefits that didn't immediately pop up like finding out that nearly half a dozen blue congressional seats flipped red. what do you think? >> you know, that'

republicans who are -- who have just been newly elected who know they are going to be targeted by the dcccats in 2024. they have to be aware of that. that gives you an open if you're joe biden, nancy pelosi, to find three or four republicans to come over to your side and stop the most destructive things being put forward by the house republican base. >> and that's what we're all watching for as the call comes in eight days later. i want to thank libby and rick. the house will be under republican control under this projection by nbc now. based on the new numbers that came in, up to a 7-seat majority. 221, plus or minus two seattles. it sets off the developments we'll be tracking tonight, and tomorrow and the days ahead. who will run the house caucus. does kevin mccarthy have the votes. does it face open opposition and what is to become of the democratic side as nancy pelosi moves from speaker into the minority. ""the reidout" with joy reid picks up our coverage tonight. >> tonight. >> they said during the 2016 campaign if he becomes

>> he's the head of the dccc.t now is vulnerable to mike lawler. i spent time with both candidates this morning. both saying they're confident and they've put in the work but maloney's saying that it's never been a cake walk for him. he's always had to fight and earn it. lawler saying he believes that right now, people are looking for change. we talked to a lot of voters and there's a wide breadth of issues that's driving them to the polls. let's listen to some of them. >> democrats are the only ones coming up with solutions and working towards an end towards those solutions. i feel that that biden cannot be blamed for inflation and that people should take a wider stance on things. >> i wouldn't want a trump supporter to be governor. that's an issue. >> i think we need to change the direction. i wasn't particularly fond of the previous administration, but the direction i approved of more than the direction now. i'm not voting personally, i'm voting from the issues. >> reporter: i've spoken to more than a dozen vot

we retired sean patrick maloney, the head of the dccc. we bait elaine lauria. this is a good night for republicans. anybody saying otherwise is wrong. when you win the game, did you win by one point or two points? we won the game. we won the super bowl last night. nancy pelosi will no long very the gavel and it will be in the hands of kevin mccarthy. that is good for the american people. >> let's talk about the senate and herschel walker going into this run-off. how does that change the dynamic here and what do you want to see happen in the next four weeks? >> well, everybody needs to go support herschel. give him money and support gop.com. we have to keep our field staff on the ground. herschel is right. we're in overtime and it's all hands on deck. i hope governor kemp is campaigning with him and every surrogate that we can bring in around the country to show the importance of why we need to win this seat. laxalt right now is looking good in nevada. we'll have a long time before we have that vote in. we have a lot of west coast votes out there. good numbers i

in fact, this election, we invested record amounts of money from the dccc. it's the first time in history that we spend more money on the ground campaign giving voters to the polls than we did an independent expenditures and tv commercials and the like. because ultimately, we knew these would be close races, and the way you win a close race is to make sure that you've got a ground campaign able to deliver your voters to the voting booth. >> senator gary peters, i've seen many people do this job that you've done, including chuck schumer, john kerry, bob kerry, many capable senators. i've never seen one do it and end with no -- i won't say enemies, but with no animosity on his party's side of the senate at the end of doing this job. senator gary peters, thank you very much for joining us tonight, and congratulations on the big win. >> well, thank you, and we're not. we still got one more big wind to come. >> please come back in join us. thank you, senator. and when we come back, white house chief of staff ron klain will join us. will join us my most important

because this is a district joe biden won by ten points and we were running against the chair of the dcccnnounced, a lot of people thought, oh, that's nice, he'll make it a race but he's going to lose. >> he did not lose. he in fact won. joining us now is republican congressman-elect, mike lawler of new york. you were a rare bright spot for republicans on tuesday when they thought there was going to be a wave. there obviously was not. what do you think your victory says about tuesday night and what's the big takeaway for you? >> i think especially in new york, as i've said many times, this was the first time in our nation's history that democrats controlled everything in washington, albany and new york city. and voters in new york especially were looking for balance and common sense restored to every level of government. i think what we saw by picking up four congressional seats and now sending 11 members of congress to washington speaks volumes to that. and, you know, the redistricting process certainly played a big role. i think democrats got very greedy in trying to gerrymander new yor

this is the chairman of the dccc, sean patrick maloney.tter in the house -- >> -- >> he's in serious danger of losing this race. the third district here, let's look at this, george santos, it's a democratic district online island. nassau county, biden won it by eight, george santos, a lot of folks looked at him and thought he was a weak candidate here. but he has been able to build up a pretty solid lead. their next, at the fourth, -- look at this, this was a biden plus 15 district and it's a very interesting dynamic here because, yeah, kathy hochul has been reelected governor of new york, but lee zeldin has done really well on ellen island. and these get really well when you get into the hudson valley, when you get into the catskills and the southern tier. and democrats are in danger of losing a bunch of seats in new york. these would all be republican gains if they bring the republican way. so, that -- it's incredible irony. the dccc chairman could lose his own seat in his own state, which is a normally very blue state, could end up bein

dccc chair in new york city. that is the biggest of the night.t to lose a seat. >> brian: great panel. i owe you extra money. [laughter] meanwhile you can catch me on the road. i'm going to mississippi, catch me in brandon mississippi. and then i'm going to tulsa, oklahoma and then to oklahoma city the next day. on the onstage talking about all red, white, and blue stuff and the president and freedom fight tore close it out. go to brian kilmeade.com. fox nation is co-produce go ahead it too. you might be getting something free if you arrive in person. coming up straight ahead. control of congress still hang in the balance this morning. but republicans are seeing some victories in deep blue new york as we just discussed. one of them, congresswoman elise stefanik won her race handily. she will join us next and talk about her leadership role. as someone living with type 2 diabetes, i want to keep it real and talk about some risks. with type 2 diabetes you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. even at your a1c goal, you'r

they lost four democratic seats in new york state, including the seat of the chairman of the dccc, themittee that organizes, funds and strategizes the strategy. it's the chairman who lost his own district and his state ends up costing democrats four seats. if the democrats didn't have that kind of disaster in new york state, they might be favored to actually hold the house. >> steve, just incredible. so many things to look at. one of the ones -- you said this, it's like, california, may not be days, it may be weeks. why and then -- we don't know who won the mayoral race in los angeles. >> the vote counting -- the folks in california have started to refer to it as election season. we can call up a couple of those districts to give you a sense of it here. the central valley of california, this is david valadao, he lost his seat in 2018, got it back in 2020. we got 32% of the vote. we can't even characterize our expectation for this because it's going to -- there's so much outstanding and there can be such big swings in the vote that comes in because it's late arriving mail ballots, mail

he donated $100,000 to the dccc.rallies with bernie sanders in his district. he was trying to help up the ticket. that's the sort of inside game that matched with that outside activist game that can really, really be effective. there's a certain 82-year-old house speaker who started off as an activist and found her way -- >> that's a fascinating point. on the republican side, though, they almost had their own gen z, karoline leavitt who didn't win her primary. she tweeted this, tuesday was the first major test on generation z's electoral impact. gen z is growing daily and moving left. this will be a colossal challenge for our party if we don't change young hearts and minds. there is a young activist base in the rart. when you look at the results from the midterms, young voters are already democratic leaning, but were heavily in the democratic column. >> that's right. this is something republicans can't ignore. luckily there is still a path forward for them. i think there are some issues, whether it's criminal justice

as a result, you have had the chair of the dccc, in coordinators with leaders in albany, and pushed through as a result, you have the scenario where you have the house majority now being deprived of democrats because of new york, a deeply blue state, where we could have gotten it right, in the way so many other blue states did. >> you're clearly upset as a new yorker. [ laughter ] >> can i also say something else? >> yeah. >> if you care about the economy, as many democratic and independent voters do, you also voted for a democratic you also candidates this cycle. i have watched so many republican colleagues vote against lowering costs for working families. we just passed the "inflation reduction act" in august that will lower the cost of prescription drugs and not a single republican voted on it. we were able to vote -- we were able to talk about how we're working to lower costs and address inflation, whereas folks like rick scott and others in the party wanted to talk about inflation without articulating a plan. when we got rick scott's plan, it turns out he wanted to lower taxes for weal

i know that you have reporting on the dccc's defensive strategy here. what do you have?we exclusively reported this morning that the d trip is out with a new memo talking about their strategy and what worked. the fact that they were able to lose a handful of seats and the majority is as close as it is, democrats are celebrating the fact that republicans are going to have to do an even tighter balancing act than pelosi and democrats have had to do over the course of the last two years in congress. but kevin mccarthy has a real challenge on his hands as he tries to herd cats within his own conference on a wide array of issues. but realready see where their focus is. the fact that they're already holding press conferences around the investigations that they plan to go into, including things like hunter biden's laptop and the other things we've heard republicans talking about for so long. the reality is, with the gavel comes things like subpoena power, control of these key committees, the biden administration is primed for this. they knew that more oversight was likely what

because when you are talking to the dccc, talking to sean patrick maloney, he may be losing his seat,ortant governor's races like the state of oregon could go to republicans. i'm sure by and large those were not particularly happy phone calls. >> sandra: it's tough for voters to hear from the people you just mentioned, instead of offering solutions to inflation, the family should change their habits like eating chef boyardee. >> john: and the price has gone up 54%. >> sandra: it's not cheap, nothing is. we are monitoring this from the white house. we'll see if there's any updates. but to your point, i wonder what that conversation is like with sean patrick maloney, in jeopardy of losing to mike lawler, just north of new york city. a race to watch tonight, john. >> john: we'll have it all at 6:00. >> sandra: no matter what happens tonight, at least one person is guaranteed winner. 1.9 billion times over after a technical mess-up meant powerball numbers were not drawn last night. one winning ticket was sold outside of los angeles worth a record jackpot of almost $2 billion. "america rep

that, sure, that's -- i think you framed it as an embarrassment for democrats here, the head of the dccct i have heard some democrats say, listen, look at the money republicans put into that race and look where they are this afternoon. >> i wonder if there's not going to be an audit in the senate and house side that looks at when they started making bigger bets around the country, are they pulling some of that money away from ohio where they lost seats or other places where they didn't pick up what they thought they were going to do, places like virginia? that may be more in the end a symbolic victory in a way that i think if the house ends up sort of the direction we think it's going to go in, republicans will have some control. i say some control because i think they're goin tiger firmly by the tail. democrats will have the largest number of seats in a minority in an extraordinarily long time. 20 more seats than after the shellacking in 2010, which is important for what will ultimately be at stake in 2024. >> let me follow up on that. there's two sides to this. some of the new york sea
