democrats have a net gain of four to six seats. for the senate you need 51 seats for an absolute majority, or if your party controls the white house you only need 50 because the vice president can break ties. with that projected net gain of between four to six seats we do believe that democrats will take back the senate this year. host: where do the democrats find those four to six seats? what seats do you think democrats will take that will give them that majority? the most basic path to the majority revolves around four seats that were always going to be highly competitive this year, arizona, colorado, maine, and north carolina. all of them represented by republicans, but all states that democrats can do very well in an that president trump is , if not down win significantly in the presidential election. those four seats make up the foundation of the path to the majority for democrats. changehat has made that for those four seats that you identify, that will flip them from republican to democrat in this election, according to your predictions? guest: from the outside of the cycle, it was all race -- always pretty clear that if de

senator feinstein is going to vote against the nominee. she has opposed the process at every turn. i respect her, she respects me. they are in charge of the democratic party. in their world you can't even have mutual respect, it's mutual destruction. i hope people understand the folks pushing the democratic party object to senator feinstein saying something nice about me. god help us all if they get in control of the government. >> martha: occasionally there is a yearning for the cordiality that used to exist in these forums and i think we saw a little bit of that. there is a whole nother side that seems to want to dig in their heels and not go back there. i thought you said something interesting, the qualification test to me seems to be dead and buried with everybody but me. what did you mean by that? >> i voted for judge seto mayor understanding they had a different judicial philosophy. justice scalia got 97 votes, i think. justice ginsburg got like, 96. they are polar opposites in terms of judicial philosophy. it used to be in the senate you looked at qualifications, understanding elections matter, but why is it always conservatives, thomas, kavanaugh.

democrats were in charge, they would be doing the same thing. we have had 19 nominations in an election year, 17 of the 19 have been confirmed when the president's of the same party as the senate. when it comes to democratic judges, give them a fair shake. -- i gave them a fair shake. comes to republicans, my colleagues want to destroy them. i am hoping this hearing does not turning -- does not turn into the kavanaugh debacle. we are moving forward. we are doing nothing unusual here in terms of how the senate operates. host: siobhan hughes, he hopes it won't turn into a debacle. what are some issues that could come up with judge merrick that could be controversial? guest: probably the number one thing at this moment is roe v. wade. this is going to cut and a couple of different directions. democrats are likely to go on the attack against her out of concern that her personal views are going to seep into her rulings, should any roe v. wade issues come before the court. the big thing that has happened previouslye undisclosed advertisements, pro-life as -- pro-life advertisements have emerged. in one of the advertisements, roe v. wade is called barbaric. the statement is that life

democrats were looking for me. in part because there is a coronavirus outbreak associated with this nomination. the event at the rose garden now reaching into the senate here in the upper echelons of the republican party. the democrats wanted everyone tested. senator graham refused. he said that millions of americans are going to work every day in this pandemic. the committee should, too. david? >> terry moran will be at the court all week for us. terry, thank you. >>> and now to the coronavirus tonight. cases on the rise in more than half the country. and a new study tonight suggesting that the virus can survive on some surfaces longer than we thought. up to 28 days on some surfaces. they actually looked at the surface of phones. also, hospitalizations rising in 35 states. experts warn an increase in deaths could follow. and this number tonight. more than 215,000 american lives lost to this virus. tonight, more on that new study and here's abc's eva bipilgrim. >> reporter: tonight, the number of covid cases and hospitalizations are on the rise in more than half the country. 14 states hitting a record number of hospitalizations last week. in utah, one of the hot spots, entire families coming in. >> ma

disillusionment with how hubert humphrey was selected in 1968 that put pressure on the democrat party to reform. senator humphrey, vice president humphrey, and trying to appease the insurgents, decided to form this commission that would talk a little bit about more to suggest reform to the party. that was the background. it was really the humphrey nomination that really enraged the reformers and to cause them to demand fundamental change. let's stick to the 68 convention. jewels, you are covering it, what's the mood at the 68 convention? what is happening in the hall and outside? >> again, it was chaos. it was a much more tumultuous convention than the 72 convention because the party itself was so divided over the war and personalities. that's the year in which writes in the streets of chicago where the police department pressed to the point where it was called a police right. there was a big fight over the vietnam plank that the anti-war forces. but it generated tremendous heat and it continued through the convention. even after the nomination of three, i remember i was there and i remember humphrey wa

this will be my first chance to interview senator harris since she became the vice presidential nominee of the democratic party. tonight democratic party. tonight is 21 days from the election. tomorrow is 20 days from the election. i'm almost running out of time to be nervous here, but not quite. do please tune in. senator kamala harris live here tomorrow, 9:00 p.m. eastern. that's going to do it for us tonight. i will see you again then. now it's time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. and we are all locked on you tomorrow night at 9:00. can't wait to hear what vice presidential candidate harris has to say, and i have to say, it's been fascinating watching the hearing because she has a new stature in this hearing. and no words have been said to confer that. there's just something about appearing as the vice presidential nominee that really changes the dynamic in that room. >> especially in a race that right now shows vice president biden sort of so clearly in the lead, not only nationally but in most swing states. she's obviously, you know, she's not

the democrat party today seems to dwowrp devour our constitution and our constitution system but democratic party is threatened over the supreme court, united states senateilibuster rule, electoral college ising what they're saying is, we want to own the government. we want to own the constitution. and you will bow to us, the democrat party and we have seen this and tyrannies throughout the world. i wants to remind you how important a person, donald trump is. what a statesman donald trump is what a historic figure donald trump is. i also want to remind you of how some of the greatest men who have ever served in the office of the presidency were treated by their own party. bit the democrat party and by the media. and so let's take a little look at history. there was a wonderful piece written by john crib the other day the in hill and he points out abraham lincoln and donald trump had a lot in common. it's a comparison that aggravates trump's critics who don't like to see the man they consider worst widely regarded as the best. this may make those critics heads explode but there's some fascinating parallels between the two presidents as well as some contra

roger marshall is leading by four accurates over a democrat that recently left the republican party. democrats have not won a senatee fdr was at the top of the ticket. with me now is steve crasky. he is also former chief political correspondent. someone they go to to help me figure out what is going on in kansas. steve, here we are ago. one of the things i assume you're going to ep date us on is that in kansas it is not a trump issue, but how much is a lingering sam brownback issue? >> that is a great question. the brand certainly took a hit in the wake of the governor's administration. pretty unpopular. his tax cuts didn't work for the state of kansas, but that is part of it. president trump won by 20 points here four years ago. it sure is not 20 points any longer and that is taking a big bite out of the g.o.p.s backside here. it is turning the race into something competitive, nothing that i have seen in my last quarter of a century in kansas. >> i feel like kansas and missouri are swapping places here. kansas and missouri will be a republican state, though. is that what is happening here there is more growth in k

senate. it is an election around the corner. the democratic party of 2020 is hell-bent on changing all the rules. there will not be nightmares of the court if they get the house and senate and white house. it will be at least 13. the legislative filibuster will fall like the judicial requirement of 60 votes has fallen. d.c. will become a state. the affordable care act will be replaced by some more aggressive form of socialized medicine. but that is for the ballot box. today was a process that has been in place for a couple of hundred years. advise and consent. i am proud to have supported judge barrett. i think the people of south carolina would be very happy with somebody like her sitting on the court judging us all. the role of advise and consent has been around for a couple of hundred years. the last three decades has taken a sinister turn. i would imagine that our founding fathers would probably be proud of the fact that woman is on the court. probably not possible when it first started as a nation. we have changed as a nation, i think, moving i

democratic party. in the house and the senate and, among voters like myself are centrist democrats. that's is joe biden and what the party is now. does the more left side can of the party want to that change? absolutely. are there areas where there is agreement a $15 minimum wage? absolutely. nobody on the far left is going to push the joe biden and nancy pelosi and majority of the democratic party in washington and the voters to the left at least not in the next 4 to 8 years. will it come down the road? it could be but not right now. >> harris: congressman alexandria ocasio-cortez and i share october 13th together. she is underage to run for president. she said i wonder when the party looks like in 5 to 6 years. big tech ceo facing lawmakers on accusations they are suppressing conservative viewpoints in their platforms. did they go too far in moving to limit the spread of a "new york post" story about hunter biden's business dealings? did twitter go too far? reaction ahead. >> who the hell elected you and put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report and what the america

democratic party. we have had democrats including a former united states senator and a former governor, democrats in georgiation. but there is not a word from white democrats or the white liberal media. so that's the white liberal media. so that's the bigotry right there. why am i treated differently? because of african—americanjust treated differently? because of african—american just like many treated differently? because of african—americanjust like many in the media... i did not raise that issue. message rate democratic representative. i did not race or colour or background to all, i said it's interesting to see a democrat representative from georgia crowd surfing at a trump rally. welcome a note, before you said that you talked about me being a democrat in georgia supporting a republican. that's interesting. why didn't you say that when a democrat from georgia... isjust as interesting with a republican supportsjoe biden, it covered that. if it does not mean anything don't mention it. it does mean something because it shows people are switching that mac shows people are switching that mac shows that peo

democrats and could be really important 2022n insurance policy in if democrats do have unified control of the house, senate and in partythe lost a couple dozen seats in the house. the more democrats can pad their advantage, the tougher it will be for republicans to dig out of the ditch. have questions about an individual house race, now would be a very good time to call in and ask your questions. we can talk about the race ratings that the cook political report does. (202) 748-8001 republicans. (202) 748-8000 democrats. (202) 748-8002 independents. so in a year in which the house is not likely to flip, the senate is much more likely to flip and amid a presidential campaign that is sucking up all of the attention, what is your pitch to people of why they should pay attention? how do sell house races and battlegrounds this cycle? are a number of compelling battles out there. mightst unique situation be virginia's fifth district. there is a congressman named lost to a former liberty university athletics official named bob good who describes himself as an biblical conservative. now the democrat cameron webb has an excellen

i think a lot of democrats, maybe even senator dianne feinstein are starting to request questions reagan did, when he became a republican. the he said i didn't leave the democratic partye more fundamental beliefs with conservatives than they do with the radical left dominating their party. elizabeth: that is interesting. you know the senate is expected to vote monday to confirm judge barrett to the supreme court. is there a push behind the scenes to get senator dianne feinstein, let's say, this is the scenario. the democrats seize control of the senate. do democrats not want senator dianne feinstein to run senate judiciary? do they want somebody else, maybe like a sheldon whitehouse or senator blumenthal or chris coons or amy klobuchar to run it instead? is that the gameplan behind the scenes with senator chuck schumer. >> the gameplan, they made it very clear long before the death of ruth bader ginsburg, pack the supreme court with additional seats, pack the senate with additional states. bypass the electoral college, which the rural states will not have meaningful say in election of future presidents. liberals like dianne feinstein in the senate do they want to be a

three big names in the democratic party tonight. in the senatehave mazie hirono, stacy abrams and pete buttigieg. they're all going to tell you they have to win in november. right, but they've done that twice in the last three presidential elections so cle clearly telling you that ain't enough. let's bring in all three and have a good discussion. senator mazie hirono. thanks very much. i know it was a long day. what do you make of what you heard today? >> i thought you described the situation so accurately. it is about retaining power and what mitch mcconnell and the republicans can't get through the legislative process there and packing the courts so they can get the courts to give them what they want. and in this case with amy coney barrett, the president said, i'm going nominate someone who's going to overturn roe v. wade and will strike down the affordable care act. she can sit there and say all she wants, i'm just going to follow the law, but we know why the republicans are rushing her through. a.c.a. will be -- and a whole kind of other cas

there was taft and ike in the same party, they didn't like each other, but when the democratic party controlled the senate, lyndon johnson became majority leader, and the two of them could not have been more opposite. it's a fascinating story. i'm no expert on lyndon johnson but i pored over johnson. it's a wonderful complement to ike. they really went at it. lyndon johnson could run rings around anybody, but he really was trying to undercut eisenhower. but there's a fascinating story about getting the 1957 civil rights act through. johnson is a southerner and a democrat, and he had to deal with his faction of southern democrats who were very hostile to civil rights, very hostile to desegregation, very hostile to warn and the brown decision. here's eisenhower saying, i want to strengthen the powers of the justice department so the attorney general can investigate issues of voting irregularities and go down to the south and say things like the emmett till murder cannot happen anymore and those guys walking free. johnson said, we'll see how it goes. we'll see what we can work up. over a long period of time

democratic party. i would like to say we're also the party of jerry brown and senator edward kennedy. i'd like to say a personal word to senator kennedy. ted, you're a tough competitor and a superb campaigner and i can attest to that. your speech before this convention was a magnificent state of what the democratic party is and what it means to the people of this country and why the democratic victory is so important this year. i reach out to you tonight, and i reach out to all those who supported you and your valiant and passionate campaign. ted, your party needs, and i need you. i need your idealism and dedication working for us. there is no doubt that even greater service lies ahead of you. we are grateful to you and to have your strong partnership now in a larger call to which your your own life has been dedicated. i thank you for your support. we'll make great partners this fall in whipping the republicans. we are democrats, and we've had our differences, but we share a bright vision of america's future, a vision of a good life for all our people, a vision of a secure nation, a j

democrats. i think that fortifies what norm was saying about, maybe they don't want to eviscerate a campaign-finance system which despite senator whitehouse's complaints about dark money, has andred the democratic partyn previous cycles for the last 15 years in ways that are out of line with the rhetoric you hear from some of the liberal critics of campaign-finance arrangements. >> i guess my point, i do want to emphasize norms point but also henry's point about the older voters. i am watching them in part because we want -- we would not --e expected them to say that would have been a shock to people. it is also the group that includes the largest percentage of white noncollege voters. if there is a part of the noncollege white world falling away from donald trump and those voters are that, we have seen that in the polls but it should not surprise us given our preconceptions going into this election. year over 65 age voters have a higher college graduate percentage than four years ago over 65-year-old voters. you start getting reflections of the late 1960's and early 1970's increase in college enrollments. >> we would be remiss not to talk about the gen x and jen why voters. what we know from politic
