gideon, thank you for joining us during your interesting time there.might say that a relatively low count of active cases proves thatat everything you did for months and months and months of lockdown worked. what's the response? >> my response is australia was very lucky that we had a very mild onslaught of the coronavirus, but anthony fauci himself has admitted that we do not have porous borders, and that's mostly an advantage of the coronavirus. what's different about melbourne is that our government's stopped up our quarantine system and we have endured a 111 day lockdown. businessesra have been shut forever and we've seen old lady is getting kicked off of park benches. a woman was arrested, a pregnant woman was arrested outside of melbourne foror making a facebok post about an anti-lockdown protest. despite that they've allowed black lives matter's protest to go ahead with no worries. we are living proof right now because of incursion into our liberties and livelihoods and we'd ever seen on australian soil. americans want that, by all means, but as

collins said that gideon was gracious in their phone call after what had been a hard fought and at timeshot here is that this means that the pathway for democrats to take volof the senate has narrowed significantly. they still need to flip three republican seats collins saying now that hers won't be one of them kelly. >> all right ylan mui, thank you. >>> the nasdaq is riding hide on a monster rally despite the fact that we still don't know the outcome of the presidential race the big tech is all up big with facebook in the lead soaring 8%. are investors right to bet that no blue wave means no major tech regulation coming? joining me is paul hickey, the co-founder of the spoke investment group paul, good to have you what do you make of facebook's move >> i think facebook and big tech in general is a few factors. the first is that you're less likely to see the growth of the group under a biden presidency, not that there was that much of a let during the president trump presidency the there's no real chance of the -- the that's another nuclear reactor and, third, if you have -- thissor the

. >> sara gideon. >> sara gideon. >> the money hasn't been effective. >> that's true. and the democrats raised close to half a billion dollars to flip no states other than the ones that were predicted that arizona and colorado flips that we saw. all the rest of the close races this time did not flip. democrats spent a ton of money that was not effective exactly as you say. yes, there will be tons of money that go into georgia but you know what's going to matter more is organization and excitement. and with president trump not on the ballot in january the way he was this time, there might be a depression in republican turnout. and obviously that would help democrats in georgia and this very big infrastructure that stacey abrams and others have built down there. >> all right, appreciate you staying up late for us. thank you so much, beth. >> thanks. >>> the biden-harris ticket ran on a message of unity, but will republicans allow them to govern that way? and a look at the people who could shape the next administration. who's on the short list? you're watching msnbc. who'

in maine, democratic challenger sara gideon conceded to moderate republican susan collins. former auburn university football coach, tuberville, is projected to flip alabama's senate seat after defeating incumbent democrat doug jones. john hickenlooper, a democrat, will unseat republican cory gardner. in the house of representatives, party leaders from both sides of the aisle are taking somewhat of a victory lap. cbs news has not yet called which party will control the house, but democratic speaker nancy pelosi has already claimed victory. still, republicans flipped several more seats than the democrats, and house develop leader kevin mccarthy suggest that is speaker pelosi will have a hard vote to keep her role. >> i know there was a number of people who did not vote for her last time, and as our numbers continue to grow, i think at the end of the day, no matter where we end up that we'll be able to have a very big say or even run the floor when it comes to policy. >> we have held the house, and now after all the votes are counted, we'll see how much better we will do than

in maine, for example, susan collins pulled out a win over sarah gideon who is a democrat but there were other ballot candidates who drew away from that and they were opposed to each other. they were not similar at all, they had a green party candidate and another libertarian candidate so they took away several percentage points from the two leaders. that's how you get into these runoff situations or in the case of maine, they have a ranked choice but susan collins got above the 50%. people look at florida back in 2000 and say ralph nader cost that state and cost him the presidency. advocate andumer he ran as an independent in florida. he pulled away several percentage points that could have gone -- and you can also look at the clinton-bush race and 92 and ross perot and how much he took away was double digits potentially from george h w bush. third-party candidates are big factors in presidential elections. we don't talk it very -- we don't talk about it very much in his races but they are a big factor here. there is an argument we need to broaden parties and more than just a democrat a

early to tell whether republican susan collins will survive the challenge from democrat sarah gide gideon they believe the best chance of flipping a seat is mark kelly, leading against martha mcsally, but nbc still says that race is too early to call. democrats need to flip at least three seats on net to take control. right now they're bracing for a slim majority in the senate if they're able to capture it at all. they were disappointed in the house where they were hoping to cement and expand their control of the chamber instead the opposite is happening. they lost democratic congressman peterman and they failed to trip republican wagman seat in the missouri suburbs this all means that the hope for democrats of pushing through a large legislative agenda is likely to be even more uncertain than it was before. >> ylan, appreciate that i don't know why i said good morning. i forgot i went home for a couple hours but it feels like noontime. >> it's an endless morning. >> no doubt about that >>> let's throw up the map one more time just to put a button on this conversation bottom line, still a

a democratic challenger sara gideon apparently though not making the kind of inroads that she had hoped, susan collins at this hour. leading by 8 points. it is still in the pale pink, so they're not calling this race yet and it is really an interesting one here is georgia. that one is in a state of flux the state of georgia. pairs they are headed for a runoff there. republican senator kelly loeffler she's going to. be facing off against democratic challenger rafale warning. that's not going to happen. until january 5th. so go the entire picture of the balance of power until but 2021. and all right vicki, thank you for that again we're standing by waiting for president trump to. >>come out on stage and addressed the nation as well as his supporters who were there at the white house we're kind of used to this where of a trump event is about take place and then we kind of feel like we're like he's going to come out and we are stretching as they say in the business until. >>he takes the podium and we hear what he has to say, but. based on his tweets that were put out. he's he's going to say

in the case of maine, we spent a lot of time in maine, and i am sitting here right now -- sara gideon was a blank slate. to run ethical ads against her that raise questions that were never answered a blank slate having tough questions asked about, did she look the other way when there was a child predator in the state legislature while she was speaker, or i don't know what , buteck -- behind on taxes for someone with a long-term relationship like susan collins had, in the other blank slate with real questions being asked, that can matter. i think we started seeing how you separate yourself a little from the cory gardner, martha mcsorley in the early part of the summer. he was not headed where they were, and where looks like he was headed until his scandal -- where tillis looks like he was headed until his scandal. if the color of the jersey, not the name on his jersey. i give you credit every time i use that, ron. ron: i get my little nickel every time somebody uses that. ok, think about south carolina and iowa. have spent a little in iowa but he didn't really spend any money in iowa,

republican senator susan collins is in a tight race with democrat sara gideon.party candidate lisa savage is polling third. under ranked choice voting, supporters of the green candidate could pick the democrat as their second option , giving the democrat a potential boost in the second round of vote counting. if you could talk about the significance of that and then montana and alaska, what they're doing. >> right choice voting has been an issue we have tracked for a few years. the voters in maine passed a ballot measure back in 2016 that established ranked choice voting within the state. then we spent the past three years fighting back and forth over whether those new roles would take effect. in 2018 will republicans in the state sought to repeal that new voting regime. rank choice voting holds a significant degree of promise for making our democracy work better. at the heart of that reform is to ensure reside -- election results reflect the will of the voters. maine has struggled through several elections in which the secured less races than 50% of the vote. i

that's an uptick from where we were at the start of the broadcast still 85% of the vote to go sara gideon has a potential of eating away some more of that if she can get. susan collins down below 50% then it would proceed to the wreck choice voting where votes for the other people on the list would be divvied up between the 2 leaders and then we'd see at that point who would come away with it, but this point susan collins looks like she's got this in hand, but again we'll have to wait and see how that shakes out as for the house yes, the house at predictable there's no change there. yeah and you can see here crafts actually increasing 192 now to the republicans 185 seats in the house. this was never really in question we pretty much saw that the house was going to stay in democratic control the only question in the air last night was when they also take the senate turns out they don't that will stay in the control of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and we actually have nancy pelosi who took time last night to praise what's happening. >>in the house and say that there is still hope
