i'm a democrat and a never trump are.congressman is fitzpatrick who is one of those 18 republicans in a blue district and i voted for him 2018, 2020, 2022 even though the top of those ballots i voted democrat spread and probably will vote for him next year in 2024 even though he voted for johnson. i get it, we needed a speaker but he voted against jordan. plus he is great on constituent services. i think a lot of those 18 republicans in the democratic districts i think a lot of them are going to keep their seats. thank you. guest: this voter is a perfect illustration of why some districts flip their tickets and there aren't very many of them, there are 23 district that have voted for opposite candidates for president and house in 2020 and yet the parochial political culture of bucks county pennsylvania, a place where republicans still have a stronger brand locally then trump has in the county explains why republicans just narrowly have this house majority. republicans are in good shape to defend their seats because brian

he was a two-term democrat president. but the democrats liked him. why?ecause he was one of the early marxist intellectual so-called intellectuals talk about perfecting society. but for the sloppiness of the vote in the sloppiness of the republicanism in the sloppiness of what goes on he felt that the judiciary was where we could change america forever. he despised the declaration of independence. he wrote about it and why do they despise the declaration of independence, the marxist replaced their own ideology with that of the lord. and that's why they attacked the family. because the family has a whole construct that interrupts with ideology. the faith has a whole social construct that interrupts with her ideology. the constitution is set up to protect us from this party. the democrat party even though people don't realize it. i find it really hilarious and repulsive at the same time that you have democrats today that condemn american history but they don't condemn their own party. >> not only do they not condemn their own parties are some of the ways we

it is not gonna try to navigate the last couple years of his term, with a democratic at a fully, democraticegislator. by the way, the youngkin big night tonight, might be a surprise late entry into the presidential. there's a lot of reason to doubt that began with, valid deadlines have passed a no, i think this can officially put that talk to rest. it is not get what he want tonight, but we're back with more right after this. re right after this. >>> good evening, once again. i'm stephanie ruhle live at msnbc headquarters here at 30 rockefeller center. it is election night in america, and we've got the latest results from some key races we've been watching all night long, so let's go straight to the man of the hour, steve kornacki at the

, if they are focused on more conservative democratic races and if establishment democrats had any parto play in the general losses suffered there? thank you. >> that is a great question about what makes a candidate electable. traditionally in the swing states, it is more conservative democrats or people more friendly more friendly the party has looked to nominate in these places. in new york and florida there might the more opportunity for progressive candidates especially in new york. that does not mean more progressive. but progressive democrats tend to do better up in those races then say florida which is a little bit more swing-y, if not meaning republican. what i'm interested in watching and is next election, state and local races but at the congressional level as well, is how these progressive democrats, even the ones in elected office right now, i think we have seen perspective than members of the progressive squad over comments over israel and the war in the middle east right now, it might be challenged a little bit from more centrist democrats. i will be interested to see if t

for the democrats, excuse me. there are a number of seats that have not yet been called, but the democrats, i talked about the state senate see, where it is a similar story, where the democrats look well positioned, i think, to get up to 50 seats, very possible and to exceed 50 is in the picture for democrats here as well. it's a 50/50, and they have to enter the two parties to a power sharing agreement. again, republicans control the chamber now. if this were to end up 50/50, republicans would lose control. democrats would gain it. they would have to share. again, that would be a defeat for republicans, because they would know from controlling it, then having to share, and on the senate side, there is a very clear path for the democrats to win and retain the outright majority there. in terms of what glenn youngkin and republicans were hoping for in virginia, they are coming close, but they may not be close enough. >> all right, steve, stay close, we want to know every single update as we get more numbers in, but

house democrats agree on that path. there are many house republicans who agree on that path, and it's time for action. second row. >> members of the house freedom caucus have just put the speaker on notice, basically saying that they're giving him 10 days to come up with a plan and fiscal responsibility, things like that. your reaction to this if they threaten with another motion to vacate? hakeem jeffries: the house republican civil war rages on. and yesterday it hit a new low, including apparently acts of physical violence. and it's my hope that they will dial down the temperature and join house democrats in putting people over politics and delivering for the american people. the house republican reality show is out of control right now and it is undermining the ability of the congress to solve problems on behalf of hard working american taxpayers. >> we're gonna get this ethics report tomorrow on george santos . he has not been convicted in a court of law. the precedent in the house of representatives was for members

in some of these states, the democrats, you'll have to go to a new exam to find a democrat. if trump, if any republican can get 22 percent of the law firm, did you really ever think you would hear that there are 22 percent and you mentioned the single issues we're going to i want to get to steve as well or do. but when you're talking about single issues right there, he just mentioned that there are more probably in the black community in america right now that are supporting the republican candidate. no. supporting trump, but let's make sure that we disagree makes it. there's 2 separate things. is it going to come down and you say that they don't need to run away from those single issues? is this why demographics that normally have been with the democrats are coming out of the republican party because of single issues? yeah, i think i well yes, i mean drive, i could only look at the numbers. uh and see that i think trump got 9 percent or 8 percent of the black vote in 2020 against joe biden. and now he's up in the twenty's. that's going to be very, very bad for the 1st word,

and democrats will continue to win. that's exactly what democrats are going to do going into 2024, rosemary, to your question about how we're going to harness this when. the same way that we have up until now. by not making it a democratic issue. by not making it a progressive issue. by making it an american issue focused on personal freedom and personal liberty which, republicans are trying to take away. which republicans as an extremist position are trying to tell women what to do. and, women and men, and families and americans across the board including a good sliver of republicans are standing up to say, no. >> maria cardona, alice stewart, many thanks for joining us. >> thanks so much rosemary. >> and still to come, the latest on the war between israel and hamas as israeli forces in circle and say they head into the largest city in the palestinian territory. back in just a moment. to gaza, now where israeli forces are pressing their military offensive, tightening their grip on the besieged territory and its main ci

it is not gonna try to navigate the last couple years of his term, with a democratic at a fully, democratic legislator. by the way, the youngkin big night tonight, might be a surprise late entry into the presidential. there's a lot of reason to doubt that began with, valid deadlines have passed a no, i think this can officially put that talk to rest. it is not get what he want tonight, but we're back with more right after this. re right after this. >>> good evening, once again. i'm stephanie ruhle live at msnbc headquarters here at 30 rockefeller center. it is election night in america, and we've got the latest results from some key races we've been watching all night long, so let's go straight to the man of the hour, steve kornacki at the big board. steve, there is nothing better than seeing you on election night. give us an update. >> yes. a lot still going on. and let's start in mississippi. and the governor's race in mississippi. 2 now two-thirds of the vote in. republican incumbent tate reeves leading brandon presley by 11 points. two key points i think as you look at these numbers. nu

the process will be in the hands of both the nassau county democratic party and the queens county democratic party at which point it will be my expectation that they will be some conversations between those two county organizations and stakeholders all across the congressional district and within new york's congressional delegation to chart a path forward so that new york's third congressional district can elect someone who's actually interested in solving problems. interested in putting people over politics, interested in making life better for the people on long island in eastern queens as opposed to embarrassing them in embarrassing the nation. last question. and the fact that we have heard relatively little and any thoughts on that? george santos is a national embarrassment and clearly an embarrassment to new york republicans, an embarrassment to the people who stood by george santos and helped elect him like the house republican conference chair and bragged publicly about the significant amounts of money that was raised by her in new york republicans in order to elect a serial fraudster

democrats said no.ey ran on providing abortion rights and that may have been decisive. >> just one of the many big headlines potentially coming out of tonight. but there's also kentucky, a major governor's race there. what is the big headline out of that state? >> the big headline out of kentucky, let me get to it is that andy beshear won and won big. okay. look at the map here. look at all the blue counties. he overperformed joe biden in kentucky, literally everywhere in every single county in 2020. joe biden won only two counties. this time around, you can see how much more blue there is for andy beshear. and he didn't just overperform joe biden. i think as you noted last hour, abby, he overperformed andy beshear from four years ago. he improved on his margins of victory. i can show you everywhere where beshear overperformed and you can look anywhere. there's a color red or blue here. he did better than he did. four years ago. that is a tremendous improvement. and also, i just want to show you some su

how did the democratic coalition perform in ohio? decisively defeated the forces that want to criminalize abortion care and impose a nationwide ban. that's the extreme maga republican forces on the run in ohio. how did the democratic coalition perform in virginia? notwithstanding the efforts of the republican governor of virginia to take complete control of the legislature. the democrats won decisively, even flipped a chamber in an off-year election. that's unheard of in modern american politics. how did the democratic coalition perform in kentucky? a deep red state. well. the incumbent democratic governor improved upon his margins from four years ago in a state that isn't even close in a presidential cycle. we going on and on in state-wide contests all across the country including in pennsylvania. that's the lesson of this week as it relates to the performance of the democratic coalition. not speculation, not hyper ventilating, actual results for the american people. to me, that's what matters more than anything else. reporter: you

, a fully democratic legislature.gkin had a big night tonight might be a surprise. late into the presidential campaign was a lot of reason to doubt that to begin with. validate lines have passed and all, but i think this can officially put that talk to rest. he does not get what he wanted tonight. we'll have more coverage, right after this. gh after this >> this hour tonight is that kentucky's democratic governor andy beshear has been reelected and ohio voters have voted to guarantee abortion rights in that state since the supreme court overturned roe versus raid last year. voters in seven states, including republican states like

wherewith democratic strategist alaina beverly. democrats, (202) 748-8000.dependents, (202) 748-8002. we will go to san diego now. rudy on the independent line. caller: oh, hello. mi here now? host: yes, go ahead, rudy. caller: i just wanted to let you know that biden has done a very good job. he has struggled like everybody has been struggling through all of this coronavirus situation. he has done very well at his job. you know, i know his age. if we had another candidate that thinks like joe biden, that would be great. we really do not need to worry about it, because i saw the debate of the republicans. i do not see not one that is really qualified for the job. they do not have good ideas. they just like trump. so, you guys are doing a good job. we wish biden that he would win again. ok. thank you and god bless you guys. guest: thank you, rudy. i think that it is so important that you raised that he pulled us back from the covid disaster that we were in, where the other candidate was suggesting that we should drink bleach as an opportunity to heal ourselve

these victories were for democrats. and even bigger election is set to take place. and it is one that will determine the next president of the united states, governors in 11 states and every single member of the house of representatives. and possibly even control of the united states senate. what can what happened earlier this week tell us about an election that is more than a year away? because the chaos is happening in the house that has any effect? joining me now to discuss is the chairman of the democratic national committee, jaime harrison. welcome to you, mister chairman. it is good to see you. >> good seeing you. >> very good to see you, thank you for being able to make it. obviously there is breaking news today on multiple fronts, what is coming out of the house, a potential government shutdown in six days if, you know, congress can't get it together, particularly house republicans can get their caucus together. juxtapose that with the winds that democrats saw earlier this week in these off year elections. do yo

we saw that is fueling the democrats radicalization. the situation with contemporary republicans is not the same. very different in important ways, but we think there are important lessons and parallels to be taught. >> steve has argued the republican party has turned away from a commitment to liberal democracy. to what degree does that break from the historical pattern you know where populism has had great sympathy among the american electorate but has failed to challenge institutions because it is operated within the 2-party system which has been committed to upholding the institutions rather than threatening them to the degree the party itself has turned away from those values, is that historical pattern change? >> i disagree that the republican party has turned away from democracy. not to say there aren't elements within the republican party who have but i see more internal complexity on this question. during the post january 6th period there have been few profiles in courage among republicans. what i see when i look to the congress

they always support the most conservative democrat crab, the most corrupt democrat. that's why they hated bernie sanders. so, like, he's honest. boo boo. get of the corrupt guy instead. so, yes, i have to deal with the dnc, but that's hey, that's politics, baby. so we're in the primary. it's my job to do the best i can in the circumstances that i find myself in. so it is what it is. so is joe biden going to come and debate us? of course not. i mean, do you think joe biden could survive a debate with me? there's no way. everybody knows you got to hide him in a basement. if he's out in a debate, he's going to get embarrassed. but if you think he's going to get embarrassed in a primary, why are you running him in the general election where he's going to run up against trump? look, this is really important in there's a mythology that primaries hurt the candidate. not remotely true in 2016. the republicans are the most vicious, aggressive, strong primary any of us have ever seen. and they won in 2020. there was 27 democrats in a contested primary, the type of primary that

further, 7% of republicans call democrats dishonest, 83% of democrats call republicans closed minded. what that says to me is we're at a point in the country where significant majorities of people on both sides don't just disagree with each other. they see the other side as fundamentally bad people whose views from invalid. right? before we get to potential solutions and the initiatives you have, i'm curious how you've seen that -- those conditions manifest in your own state, in your own life as a political leader. what is the trickle down effect of those -- those -- that political culture we're talking about? governor cox: i think we've all seen it. sadly the polarization is increasing. just before that pew data came out, rachel cline feld -- kleinfeld with carnegie, her research around polarization, i encourage everyone to read her research, the focus son what happens when we get so extremely polarized. what we're stheeng ground is, her focus is on political violence and its sig -- and a significant increase in political violence. threats against members of congress over the last si

and that means there's no margin for error for democrats. and they're got to win elections in red states in a presidential year like in montana or with sherrod brown in ohio. never mind in all the battleground states where there are a lot of competitive senate races, wolf. it is a steep climb for the democrats to maintain their majority. >> geoff duncan, former lieutenant governor of georgia, does this announcement from manchin essentially guarantee a republican pick next year in west virginia? what do you think? >> well, it certainly looks that way. like david said. i think joe manchin was the one unicorn that could win in a state that donald trump won by 40 points, which is just an amazing number. i think democrats are showing up with a problem that republicans -- we talk a lot about republicans having to figure out a way to win the suburbs. democrats have to figure out a way to win rural states like west virginia. and you know, joe manchin has worked hard. and he's a guy without a party at this point, which probably explains why he's had

it was a good night for democrats.he about ohio's vote to protect abortion rights and democrats taking control of the virginia assembly. are you feeling encouraged by these results, as we get into a presidential election year? >> absolutely. i'm boyd, i'm enthusiastic, and i'm realistic. to that night was a great night. it emphasized of the values that principles democrats have, if you hold to those values, in particular in ohio, where it's institutionalized in the constitution that women have the right to their reproductive rights, but a right to decide what they want to do with our bodies. in a deeply conservative state, a democratic governor won and he won by not running away from reproductive rights. so i think the polling for president biden, for example, is politically skewed one year out. he has not been able to get his surrogates to get himself, if you will, to be able to say what democrats have done for the american people. had it not been for the american rescue act, that we alone, passed the temporary child

actually, a d because of the democrats. the democrats have been holding the line. the republicans are leaderless. they have a criminal for their leader. the other thing i want to tell you is this guy in the senate that is holding up the line against the military, he needs to be sent to boot camp. he is not too old to go to boot camp. if he survives boot camp, he will know what it means to serve in the military. host: emmett finishing off this hour of your or over the past 20 years, what is the most important change in america? as we do each year, we are giving away 100,000 dollars in total prizes with a grand prize of $5,000 and every teacher who has students purchase made in this year's competition has the opportunity to share a portion of it initial $50,000. the competition deadline is friday, january 19 2024. for information, visit our website at studentcam.org. ♪ ♪ >> c-span now is a free mobile app featuring your unfiltered view of what is happening in washington live and on-demand. keep up with the day's biggest events with live streams and floor proceedings

the democratic president to do democratic thing.o knows this. they will talk about it in the press without actually saying the words. why do we have to pressure our own leader? people never ask that question. why does he not want to actually do it? why did he throw paid family leave under the bus? joe biden, are you the worst politician in america? why can you not get something passed at 84%? i will tell the truth to the american people. it is because he does not want it to pass. his donors think it will raise costs for them. even though it is intensely popular with voters and would pass easily, no one in congress will propose it. joe biden will not propose it because he does not care. all they do is the bidding of their donors. host: you have been struck from the ballot in new hampshire as well as nevada. i'm looking at the state public radio. they have your declaration of candidacy that reflects the legal challenge you are making. in nevada, you will not be on the primary ballot there after altering the form. what does it mean for

do we want republicans bashing democrats and democrats bashing republicans?litics to overwhelm all common sense and achievement? they want to get things done. americans want competent, squared away leaders to get things done. obviously, congress still suffering from very low approval ratings because of that. the speaker scrum certainly added to that. i think if there is one thing americans would like to see, it is someone who puts country first, not party, is able to move the needle and make things just a little bit easier than they are today. host: we have lots of calls coming in for you. let's start with nate in las vegas on our republican line. caller: good morning. donald trump is the greatest president we have ever had, except for maybe towards washington and abraham lincoln. the only way the democrats can defeat him is to convict him. the new york case is so ridiculous because nobody was damaged. they can say he overvalued everything, but there -- everybody got their money. so, we have to make sure that we get out there and get the boat -- vote. the med

, a fully democratic legislature. by the way, if youngkin had a big night tonight might be a surprise. late into the presidential campaign was a lot of reason to doubt that to begin with. validate lines have passed and all, but i think this can officially put that talk to rest. he does not get what he wanted tonight. we'll have more coverage, right after this. gh after this >> this hour tonight is that kentucky's democratic governor andy beshear has been reelected and ohio voters have voted to guarantee abortion rights in that state since the supreme court overturned roe versus raid last year. voters in seven states, including republican states like kansas, kentucky, in montana, voted to protect abortion rights. the vote tonight nullifies the states six-week abortion ban, passed by republicans in the ohio legislature that is currently being challenged in court and joining us now we think is steve kornacki, the national political correspondent for nbc news an msnbc or perhaps not. the control room thought we had steve

vote for democratic part parties. he was already facing kind of difficult contests. the states popular republican governor jim justice from his hat in the ring on the republican side. now without mention, without his long time reach the state without his influence in the state, they essentially have no alternative candidate. and going up the next. yeah, the deep, deep red state like west virginia with basically no one means it's pretty much south and it's kind of fall into republican hands. and if that bad happens, what does this mean for the democrats as a whole? well, the democrats, the whole, it is not looking good if they lose west virginia, which seems very likely, as i said, they will be down right currently the $5149.00 in the senate. so then once the majority, if they lose west virginia, that means they go down to $5050.00, that facing all the difficult races in the senate this year. there are 2 other democratic senators who are running in red states, which trump won by significant margins. it's a real struggl

democratic line.ler: good morning. i wanted to ask if he has any perspective on how the more progressive democratic candidates have seemed to performed better generally across-the-board and if there is any factor where in the democratic party within new york state and florida, if their focus on more conservative democrat races and establishment democrats had any part to play in the general losses that were suffered there. guest: that's a great question about what makes a candidate elected in a competitive race because traditionally in some of the more swing states talking about florida and new york. it's more -- it's more conservative democrats or people friendly to the establishment they've looked to establish grade in florida and new york there might be more opportunity for progressive candidates. a blue or safe receipt doesn't necessarily mean more progressive. progressive democrats tend to do better in those races than florida which is a little bit more swinging if not leaning a little bit republi

democrats so that as picking a fight. why would you condition something as important as israel aid on cutting funding for the irs? this is not that. it's not picking a fight with democrats. the two-step idea is not particularly popular but the funding deadlines he's setting up, january 19 and february 2 are only a couple of weeks apart. it's quite possible a lot of democrats support this. host: if you would like to ask a question or make a comment about government funding, give us a call, democrats, (202) 748-8000, republicans (202) 748-8001s and independence (202) 748-8002. our line for texting is different,202-7488903 there were problems with two gop funding bills this last week. explain what happened. guest: speaker johnson took over for mr. mccarthy and he made a promise to blow forward in passing a dozen republican appropriations bills. he had some initial success there on some of the easier bills. as we've gotten through the week, the problems plaguing mr. mccarthy are now plaguing speaker johnson. it's just that yo

you know, democrats saw that as sort of picking a fight. you know, why would you condition something as important as israel aid on cutting funding for, you know, the irs? irs is enforcement. this is not that. this is not picking a fight with democrats. the two step idea sure is not particularly popular. but you know, the funding deadlines he's setting up here january 19th, february 2nd are only a couple of weeks apart so it's quite possible that a lot of democrats support this. >> and if you would like to ask a question or make a comment about government funding, you can give us a call. our lines are by party so democrats 202-749-8,000 and one independent 202-749-8002. texting is different. and you can reach us also on facebook and on x. there were problems with two gop funding bills this last week. what happened, explain what -- why those were polled? >> once speaker took over for mccarthy he made a promise to plow forward in passing a dozen republican appropriation bills. he had some initial success there on some of the easier bills. but

democratic.asks where he needs to run it up, but andy beshear family, we talked about this earlier, family name very well known in the state, has a unique brand. kenny overcome the biden drag. we'll see that in the suburbs as it plays out. you mentioned ohio. polls closed there at the top of the hour. it's a ballot initiative on the map there. so obviously, it's an empty map right now. here's the question you know, should the ohio constitution have a constitutional right to abortion right. and so what are we going to look for? remember kansas sent the first shock wave here after the dobbs decision. ruby red kansas said, whoa, supreme court went too far. a lot of republicans said supreme court went too far. republicans looking to ban abortion. you're going too far. that's what kansas said. will another red state say that? if you look at the 2020 results here, the presidential race, you know, donald trump won this state by eight points. it is a red state, pockets of blue. you see them around clevel

what do democrats think this means after a very good night? >> >> reporter: well, it was a significant victory for democrats. it couldn't come at a better time as there's tremendous anxiety about president biden's bid for reelection. across several states, voters made their voices heard on crucial ballot measures and important races for political office. in ohio, a state which has trended republican in recent elections, voters in the state approved a ballot measure, enshrining the right to abortion in the state constitution, signaling that abortion access is a key issue for voters across party lines. in a statement, president biden applauding the passage of the state's abortion rights measure saying, tonight americans once again voted to protect their fundamental freedoms, and democracy won. ohio voters also approved a second ballot measure, legalizing marijuana, making it the 24th state to do so. in virginia, a setback for the current gop governor glenn youngkin. >> you know what winning means, hold the house and flip the senate. >> reporter:

he will have to focus on the issues that bring democrats together, that democrats really care about. and of course as you mentioned, because he is doing so poorly amongst young and latinos, he will have to targethissues th ce about as well. because he has really neglected that base and we've seen him focus quite a bit more on what older votes want and that essentially is what his base is. >> ohio, you know, is evenly split between republicans and democrats as a swing state. but also showed that the republicans support abortion rights as well. so how clear is that going to be when it comes to an issue in terms of the two sides and how they will both play it? >> i think again this is going to be super important to the democratic campaign to emphasize that reproductive rights for women are under threat because it is a majority of americans that support the right to choose. it is not a majority that were in favor of the recent supreme court rulings and the attacks on women and reproductive rights. if the democrats are able to capitalize on fears that women may lose further reproductive r

guest:e is a conservative democrat, a west virginia democrat. west virginia is a historical union state that was heavily democratic when mansion started his political career and when he was elected governor in 2004, 2008 and is now a republican state for cultural reasons and policy reasons. the democratic parties embrace of green energy and senator manchin was persistent to that. a state that is very pro-gun although he would try to find some kind of compromise to find a way with the left-leaning views of the party. he had barely said interest politics on guns, abortion, spending and became tougher and tougher in his career through the senate. he opposed the obama agenda he gets reelected to vote for parts of the trump agenda and if you look at voter registration over time, he gets elected when it was still very democratic state. as a republican state that still likes to get federal funding but one that is culturally very happy with a pro-gun, pro-life republican party. host: what you think his biggest accomplishments were? what will his legacy

look, 51 democrats in the senate, at least caucus with the democrats. you've got 49 senators who caucus with the republicans. and let's take a look at how many democrats are vulnerable this time around. look at this, there are seven democratic senate seats up in 2024, in states trump won at least once. you know, you mentioned west virginia earlier, but there's pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, montana, arizona. so we have a flu of these democratic states, in where trump won at least one time. compare that to the republican side. do you know how many gop seats are up in 2024 that trump lost at least once? zero. a grand total of zero. so democrats have far more affordable ground than republicans do. pre-match all of the republican seats are in safe, republican areas. and, here is the other thing to keep in mind, why that is so important. because polarization has become such a thing in our politics. the same party when the senate and presidential race in the, state in 2016 for the first time ever, it was all of them. it was 34 of 34. in 2020, it was

democrats demagogue the issue very effectively. >> democrats are trying to scare women into thinking republicans don't want abortion legal under any circumstances. i go back to pennsylvania 2022, the republican candidate for governor if i remember correctly, no exceptions for rape,, the mother's life or loss to a nonincumbent gubernatorial candidate, democratic candidate by a margin that was not seen since the 1940s. i have to believe that is an indication that the women in america, suburban moms, want it probably legal and rare and probably earlier than at the point of viability. >> absolutely. i think that what kayleigh said is so important. the republican position on abortion is shared by 80% of the population. the democrat position, which is abortion up to the point of birth, and in virginia you are talking abortion after birth where you put the baby on a table and keep the baby comfortable while people make decisions. it is crazy. it's nuts. that's the democratic position. that stuff is so wacko crazy. republicans have to learn as kayleigh said, have to learn how to talk about t

he is not a democrat.e is a party of a democrat, and he has had values. -- and he has democrat values, but he is representing the people of kentucky. that is why i believe he got elected again. he is just a good public servant. host: that was eric and kentucky. this is john in virginia, republican. what is your read on what happened last night in the common law? caller: uh, i would say that people love their voices. it is a sad day for me as a republican, but it is also sad day for me because i am a christian. as a christian, i believe jesus is the son of god, he died on the cross to pay our sins back. the bible tells us that that is the only way that we get in heaven. i am sad, not only because of the unborn, but i am sad for all the people who may not make it into heaven. because it is hard for me to believe that you can believe in jesus and abortion. so, i mean, that is all i have got to say. host: that is johnin virginia. in delaware, margie, my free democrats. caller: good morning -- line for democrat

wherewith democratic strategist alaina beverly. democrats, (202) 748-8000.dependents, (202) 748-8002. we will go to san diego now. rudy on the independent line. caller: oh, hello. mi here now? host: yes, go ahead, rudy. caller: i just wanted to let you know that biden has done a very good job. he has struggled like everybody has been struggling through all of this coronavirus situation. he has done very well at his job. you know, i know his age. if we had another candidate that thinks like joe biden, that would be great. we really do not need to worry about it, because i saw the debate of the republicans. i do not see not one that is really qualified for the job. they do not have good ideas. they just like trump. so, you guys are doing a good job. we wish biden that he would win again. ok. thank you and god bless you guys. guest: thank you, rudy. i think that it is so important that you raised that he pulled us back from the covid disaster that we were in, where the other candidate was suggesting that we should drink bleach as an opportunity to heal ourselve

kentucky's governor elect, democrat andy beshear.ere he is. >> this was our victory. it was a victory that sets a loud clear message, a message that candidates should run for something, and not against someone. >> he did not just run for something, he ran away from the u.s. president and -- all attempts to be seen with him by campaigning him, he refused any approach by the white house to be seen with joe biden during this campaign. i guess in a conservative state like kentucky, that is a good move, but that is something which is happening nationwide with joe biden, and democrats. so why is that? and how worried should joe biden be if that continues? >> you are right, it is not a surprise, and a conservative red state like kentucky, a blue governor would try to run away from the incumbent president. beyond that, and cnn's pulling was very revealing from today, joe biden is in trouble neck in neck against donald trump. so at the very top of the ticket, the democrats have a candidate who is not very popular, running against another cand

but she caucuses with the democrats. there would be some of the democrats think a much better chance of gallego being elected because she's may poll more conservatives away from kari lake. >> and does she run again? sinema? >> it doesn't feel like this if the polls don't show a path for her. >> thank you, panel. >>> up next, for the first year in office he's become a larger than life character around the senate and not just talking about his height. a look at pennsylvania's john fetterman, next.

this is a huge core democratic county in the 2019 governors race the democrat won it by 26 points and won the major points for brandon, presley, and the democrats, it's 70% black, so there's evidence in some of these delta mississippi delta counties, that have large populations of presley over performing where the democrats were four years ago so if that continues, if he ends up getting a huge number and a huge turnout out of hinds county along the gulf coast, presley improved in some counties, this could get interesting. but we really, i think we're gonna spend a lot of time waiting for here, i think, is hinds and what it does is the other votes come out. >> are there any reports on how you run out of ballots in a heavily democratic area like that? >> as i said, if you are a presley campaign that might be encouraging sign. because it was such a point of emphasis to drive up african american turnout. so if you find out that 70% african american county whereas ballots, it could be a sign that your strategy is working. >> steve, we will be coming back to you in the. our thank you very m

, senate democrats, senate republicans, the biden administration and house democrats all of us agree that we need to spend to the levels of the fiscal responsibility act. the agreement that then speaker former disposed speaker mccarthy negotiated with -- with president biden. that's the level of spending that we need to agree to. but beyond that the, senate republicans advocated for additional funding on top of this. this was in june and july. many of them have also indicated that they are supportive of israel and ukraine funding. i would argue that this is not out of the norm. we are treating this with the respect and the urgency but also to the precedent of emergency spending especially in times of war when our allies' freedoms are of interest and threat thened and so i think there is wide agreement in that respect. let's spend on our ongoing level, face responsibility act level and let's have a robust supplemental that deals with the important issues of the day namely israel, ukraine, humanitarian assistance and indo payom priorities and the southern border and those are the prior

abortion was not directly on the ballot, but was a motivating issue for democrats. in the key swing state of ohio, voters delivered a strong rebuke to republicans trying to restrict abortion access. the right to an abortion is now enshrined in the state constitution. ohio also voted to legalize recreational marijuana, becoming the 24th state to do so. well, more now on that historic abortion vote in ohio. cnn's kyung lah reports. >> reporter: abortion rights will be enshrined in ohio state constitution. that is the result here in ohio, according to cnn projections. it is the first republican state to take such a move. and this was a hard battle, fought on both sides of what's known as issue 1, the effort to enshrine those efforts into the state constitution. when cnn called the results of this election, projecting the results, i want you to take a listen to this room. it is a watch party of those who supported issue 1. [ cheering ] you can hear the cheering for yourself. others, i actually saw a woman burst into tears. it was jubilation as those results were read. n

it's called the democrat party. democrat party promote crt. the democrat party promotes a teachers unions getting in between and their children. the democrat party promotes open borders to destroy our culture and they're destroying assimilation. because when you destroy our culture, there's not a lot for people to assimilate into. i'm not you know, i'm not aristotle here explaining these things take place. they are taking place. and so this this party, as i say, at the end of the book, if we don't crush this party, it's going to crush us. if. mark a moment ago, you mentioned anti-semitism, which is a horribly timely mention, we here at the reagan foundation, we are very proud of the fact that we have special exhibit here at the reagan library called auschwitz not long ago, not far away, over 700 artifacts, 400 photos. you and your family went through this morning. and do you have any reflections on that? my wife crying through almost all of it as we went through horrific, crucially important tour. and i want to thank the reagan for doing this.
