he and jack ciattarelli are neck and neck. less than 100 votes separate them.rginia, the next governor will be a republican. glenn youngkin has defeated the former governor terry mcauliffe. it is a state joe biden won easily in last year's presidential election. we'll keep an eye on those numbers there. >>> now, just a few days into the high stakes climate summit in glasgow and we've seen dozens of nations sign off on several agreements aimed at tackling the climate crisis. another day of meetings will soon be underway, and the uk is set to announce plans to become the world's first net zero financial center. as part of the proposal uk financial institutions and listed companies will be required to publish plans on how they reduce their contribution to global warming. well, that announcement is just one of the pledges coming out of cop-26 in glasgow. on tuesday, dozens of nations agreed to cut methane emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by the end of the decade. the british prime minister says there is still plenty more work to do, though. take a listen. >> we mu

all eyes on new jersey as the recount looms over jack ciattarelli outperforms expectations with many what will happen in the garden state's midterm elections. here to react, u.s. house candidate for the new jersey congressional district, great to have you here. to claim the seat you would have to be an incumbent that has a lot of name recognition, democrat tom malinowski. what you think you can do it? >> it is the race that was the most competitive last year in 2020 and will shape up to be most competitive in the country this year, tom got a lot of name recognition and a lot of money, he also has a number of stock back violations against him and open house ethics committee investigation into how he missed $3 million during the pandemic on undisclosed healthcare trades and short spent against the scene community was elected to represent. what we saw in virginia and new jersey specifically is push back on rubberstamp politicians for biden's agenda, the current administration's failings and a radical policy that is sweeping the country. >> let's focus on the policy. how do republicans m

he's sitting there at 565 votes behind jack ciattarelli.in, we're talking big places, when i say vote by mail is outstanding in mercer county, you're talking about thousands of votes and you're talking about an overwhelming democratic vote. again, if you look at this, if you're phil murphy, you're not happy with the situation you're in. the last two polls put murphy ahead by 11 points, by 8 points, there was an awful lot of confidence by democrats but then it looks like he's going to have an extremely, extremely close call. the good news for him, if you're the murphy campaign, at this hour, you can look at this and potentially three is a path for victory in this. ciattarelli has given him everything he can handle. >> we had about 84% of the vote in right now. about an hour, we were at 81%, likelihood, we're not getting all the vote tonight? >> that's the thing, i'm talking about the vote by mail, we're not sure it's going to come in tonight. or any other votes. new jersey -- virginia, basically all in, virginia in these counties have been g

the democratic incumbent phil murphy narrowly leading his republican challenger, jack ciattarelli. mj, this was certainly a lot closer than a lot of people thought. >> reporter: yeah, that's absolutely right, anderson. certainly, a lot closer than what phil murphy and his campaign and democrats had hoped to see. the latest update right now from here asbury park, new jersey, is that the murphy campaign has announced just within the last hour that he plans on giving a speech tonight at around 10:00 in the building behind me. this is where the election-night party was held last night and this is where they had hoped to give a victory speech last night. the reason that they are doing that is because some other outlets have called the race for phil murphy but i want to be very clear, cnn has not made a call at this moment on who is going to be projected the winner of this race. but already, we are hearing in conversations we have had today with murphy advisers and aides and other democrats, they are doing some soul searching right now to try to figure out why this race has been so much

the garden state of new jersey, governor murphy in a dead heat with his republican challenger jack ciattarelli and this is when we will be watching for the next several days. jason chaffetz joining us and leslie marshall, another fox news contributor and democratic strategists which i took a look at those numbers and when you are talking a margin of less than 2000 votes reminds me in some ways of election night 2016 when you were just watching every last vote come in. are you surprised as most people are to see this race so close from the garden state? >> yes, going into this, governor murphy was 9 percentage points ahead and if he does pull this off and i think he will although it will be very close, much closer than i feel comfortable with, that is a call to democrats. i said this before and wrote it in my piece for fox, whether mcauliffe lost virginia or won virginia, if you win, by a very tight margin and either party knows this it is a red flag. there is an alarm that goes out and you've got to say what did we do wrong, what can we do better, how do we not repeat this and that is the same

jack ciattarelli at 25%. we just got a batch of counted votes there. and that vote count was about 6,000 new votes counted there. of the 6,000, phil murphy got 3,889. ciattarelli, 2,157. that is about 63% of the vote. and about 35% of the vote. so you can see as these new numbers come in, from these largely democratic counties, phil murphy should be able to stretch his lead out, which is why the democrats feel better about where things are at this moment. but obviously they still have to count the votes as quickly as they k can. jim, erica. >> john berman, nice work at the wall, my friend. thank you. >>> as we continue to watch for that, there is a real focus on virginia this morning, a major defeat for democrats. and frankly some call it a warning sign, some call it a wake-up call. plenty of people are saying you should have been paying attention. cnn projecting republican glenn youngkin will be the next governor in virginia, beating democrat terry mcauliffe by a little moren t than 2%. >> this was an easy win for biden in the 2020 election. let's go t

his race against republican challenger jack ciattarelli remains too early to call. nbc news can project that democrat eric adams will handily be elected the next mayor of the city of new york. only the second black mayor in the city's history. notably a former member of the nypd, who decidedly did not sign on to the defund the police movement, perhaps the most toxic phrase ever introduced into our politics in the modern era. with all that we want to begin with the very latest on the vote count. you know what that means. for more we go to steve kornacki at the big board for us tonight as he has been all evening. steve, what have you got? >> yeah, brian, i mean, the story right now has shifted a bit towards new jersey, a state we did not talk about a lot in the run-up obviously to this election. but here's the deal right now. we've got about 60% of the vote counted statewide, and in the tally that's been done so far the republican challenger jack ciattarelli leading the democratic governor by four points. now, what's making this so tricky in new jersey is the vote has

incumbent democratic governor phil murphy is only 1,522 votes ahead of the republican challenger jack ciattarelliat the magic wall, we still have 70% of the votes to come in, but i don't think anybody saw this coming. >> nobody saw this coming, and to do this now after democrats are looking at virginia and they're behind in the governor's race, lieutenant governor's race, the attorney general race they're looking at that and thinking oh, my, is it that bad of a night? probably not. if you're in the murphy campaign headquarters, at early votes came in, why do i say probably not? that's a tie, right? 1,500 votes. look at where the red votes are, ocean county, 76% is countied. you come up here, monmouth county, 68% of the vote is counted. you move over here and this is gloucester in new jersey, gloucester is 73% of the vote counted. up here this other republican county, these are 93%, this one was in the -- 19% in morris county. where the republican vote is in these red counties you have a high percentage of the vote counted. now let's turn the tables. let's come over here to essex county, which is

jack ciattarelli announcing he's not going to call for a recount.mcgee white joins me. kelly, the one thing we are hearing is that he hit a nerve with a lot of voters and i'm wondering what nerve that was. we were focusing so much on the virginia race that we almost sought bigger development in new jersey and i'm not sure it's a done deal as far as further volcanic political developments from that state. what do you think? >> i think a lot of it has to do with covid, generally. i mean, new jersey and phil murphy in particular implement it some of the strictest restrictions in the country on par with new york and los angeles and is something that you saw frequently among the republicans who one in new jersey's ballot races is that they said they campaigned against the covid restrictions. i'm thinking here specifically of the new jersey truck driver that beat the state senate president and all he said in his campaign ad was, new jersey's covid restrictions-- neil: i'm jumping in. jack ciattarelli is speaking right now and maybe we will get an idea of

republicans looking at new jersey as a potential swing state as jack ciattarelli nearly neardefeated phil murphy. carley: joining us now, pete hegseth who is having breakfast with friends in new jersey. a lot going on in new jersey in the news. >> for sure, todd and carley, good morning. we are at point 40 diner in monroeville. if you're in south jersey, come on out. because it was a big week last week in new jersey. it was a huge surprise. we were guilty of this too, like everybody else, talking a lot about virginia and rightfully so. which went for glenn youngkin. but ciattarelli and that face against phil murphy in new jersey was a sleeper. if you look at the numbers in new jersey, there are a million more registered democrats than a republicans in new jersey, it's been a reliably blue state especially in off elections for

we have just -- have just projected as the winner -- um, phil murphy there in new jersey over jack ciattarelli chris, we were on the air last night talking about this, as well as running down everything that is happening. again, we will watch that for you and we will continue with it. >> so, we are watching them watching us watching them. >> watching them. ha-ha-ha-ha. this was a lot closer than democrats and phil murphy and democrats expected. >> absolutely. and we'll see how the governor explains that. we will see if he spins if because he got a little good news, not just that he won obviously. but democrats don't get consecutive terms in new jersey as governor very often. he hasn't done it in a long -- hasn't happened in, like, 20-plus years. but this situation is all about why. and the immutable laws of politics that democrats ignored, which are people care about what matters closest to home. >> uh-huh. >> when they give you a mandate to do something, you better do it. >> you got to do it. >> and if you are explaining, you are losing. and they have to talk the talk. they have to talk it co

how surprised are you at the opponent delma component of jack ciattarelli tonight?i don't think anybody was covering this very seriously because it was the assumption that it was going to stay so blue. one of the things illustrated, two things, the president of the united states and kamala harris are very weak. they are weak communicators, they are weak physically, i do not think they carry many coat tails because they certainly were trying to win these races by big margins and their coattails prove nothing. the other sleeper issue i think will come out in the days to come is how well republicans did with the hispanic vote. you see that play out in texas, and my guess is places like new jersey and others, republicans did exceptionally well with the hispanic vote. >> one of the things i like having you on the show, leslie, while you obviously support your side, your team, i think he really play right down the middle sometimes with the tough love. i want to give your party a little tough love and not just new jersey tonight but also in virginia, what can democrats lea

jack ciattarelli is counting on the conservative republican base. that's how he's been running and those people come out to vote. he knows that. he asked to get them out and that's what he's doing today. murphy is trying his hardest. he's not the most exciting candidate that gets people's passions up but he has to overcome the off-year elections. >> neil: it's interesting, governor. where he gets high marks is handling of covid in the state. it depends on voters in different states that don't like heavy-handed approaches to things and mandates and all the rest even though he tried to juggle that. it's on that issue that he seems to be running the most favorable among voters. the concern about high property taxes in the state, which remain among the nation's highest, that's not been able to sting him yet. i'm wondering if that's a sleeper issue that no one appreciates? >> it's been an issue forever in new jersey. the main reason being the state doesn't impose the property tax or spend it. that's local spending that does that. the state government obv

this morning he is behind republican challenger, jack ciattarelli, a businessman, former assemblyman eavily favor democrats. ciattarelli tried to paint murphy out of touch with the average voter. taxes, response to the covid-19 pandemic are the most important issues for them. it has been 44 years since a democratic governor has been reelected in new jersey. in just the last few weeks governor murphy tried to rally support with big appearances by senator bernie sanders, former president barack obama, and even vice president kamala harris. as both candidates still wait for the result this morning they did strike optimistic tones with their supporters. >> i don't need a surrogate, i don't need celebrities, i don't need former presidents. all i need is the people of new jersey to listen to the facts. >> well we'll have to wait a little while longer than we had hoped. we'll wait for every vote to be counted and that is how our democracy works. reporter: waiting last night, waiting this morning here in new jersey for the election results. murphy held the lead early on in this race as result

phil murphy fought off his republican challenger jack ciattarelli by a wafer—thin margin.rats' win, along with their earlier loss of the virginia governorship, suggests a loosening of the party's grip on power. in his victory speech, the governor had this message for the people of newjersey tonight, i renew my promise to you, whether you voted for me or not, to work every single day of the next four years to keep moving us forward. forward with renewed optimism to ensure greater opportunities for all 9.3 million who call the garden state their home. and so importantly forward with a deeper sense of fairness and commitment to equity. forward by rejecting the divisiveness and chaos that permeate too much of our politics. in short, forward living up to ourjersey values. let's talk to our north america correspondent, david willis. a disappointing moment for the democrats. how significant though, is it? you may suspect at this stage that the incumbent party might lose a little, mightn�*t you? incumbent party might lose a little, mightn't you?- incumbent party might lose a littl

here to make his final case, republican gubernatorial candidate jack ciattarelli is with us you had toldr internal numbers were showed a tightening. robert kaylee will join us later, shows it's now within the margin of error. i think this is probably even a bigger surprise than maybe the commonwealth of virginia. do youit believe this is now within striking distance? >> without a doubt, sean. internal polling in both camps has it is a dead heat and you know the history of new jersey, republicans of won six of the last ten governor races and no incumbentou democratic governor has been reelected in more than 40 years. not jim florio, and quite frankly, phil murphy is far left of all three of those combined buried so we are right where we need to be at this point in time. >> sean: one of the main issues that people have focused on there, obviously education just popped all over virginia and it went viral. it went national. one of the biggest bread-and-butter issues, v from what i can see, a lot of it is covid mandates. the nursing home scandal that was the equivalent of what happened in new

jack ciattarelli with a four-point lead there, he might be able to keep the margin narrowish there, and then down here in cumberland county, where you see there is 79% counted now. not as many votes there, so chit r rell ciattarelli wants to chip away there, it might be hard there. let's talk about virginia, the state where we know who the winner is. cnn is projecting that glenn youngkin will be the next governor of virginia. a lot of focus has been on the suburban areas, the areas surrounding washington, d.c., fairfax and loudon county, and also the area surrounding richmond, virginia. and in these suburban areas, glenn youngkin the republican did well, trailing terry mcauliffe by 11% there. if you compare that to how joe biden did, in that county, just one year ago, you can see biden won by 25 points. so glenn youngkin had shrunk that margin there, pretty substantially. and that matters. but there is something i want to point out here, when you're talking about the margins, yes, glenn youngkin did better in the suburbs than republicans had in the past, but his big pickups were in diff

this morning he is now ahead of republican challenger jack ciattarelli by a small percentage. republican lost a slight lead than earlier this morning. 88% of the votes have been counted this morning. the remain votes are expected to be heavely favoring democrats. ciattarelli tried to paint murphy being out of touch with the average voter. murphy holding onto the lead. the race is too close to call. >> our mission has been sump. to build a state where every child, regardless of race or gender, creed or zip code has the opportunity to live out their hopes and achieve their american dream. these are the values we've put to work. >> now registered democrats outnumber registered republicans in new jersey by more than a million but the race still too close to call. ciattarelli remaining op at the mystic this morning. >> time to make sure that every legal vote is counted. and i'm confident -- i'm confident that when they are, i can stand before you and not say we're winning. i can stand before you and say we've won. >> still waiting for those votes to roll in again today as they cont

and just like with youngkin, all the momentum is with jack ciattarelli. nd if jack is able to win about 60% of independent, will did in 2009. jack ciattarelli will be the next governor of new jersey and this will send an earthquake politically around the country. that's what bob mcdonald and i did 12 years ago. and let's remember something. barack obama was 21 points to the favorable side when i won in 2009 in new jersey. this morning, joe biden is 6 points to the negative upside down in new jersey. in blue new jersey. so jack ciattarelli has a real chance to win this one tonight. i think youngkin has a better chance because he has moved up in the polls. but jack is closing strong and fast. it's happened in new jersey before. and i have my fingers crossed that i'm going to have a new republican successor when the polls close tonight. brian: really? ainsley: then there was crt and little girl raped in the bathroom emany by a boy wearing a skirt and transferred to another school and they ignore it and hide it the dad gets arrested for fighting back at school

>> no clue. >> now. >> huh huh. >> that's jack ciattarelli. he once led an effort to ban swearing. >> [ bleep ]. >> this is new jersey. we can't left that [ bleep ] win. we can't let that [ bleep ] win. >> we even extended the bleeps to make it more bleepy, but, still, only in new jersey. love you, new jersey. new jersey and virginia are the only two states that schedule their governor races every year for the year after a presidential election. just a quirk of how they schedule things. that means there's a lot of attention to those two governors races because they're the only two in the country. t nobody is expecting the guy who wanted to ban swearing to win in new jersey. that means the key race tomorrow is the virginia race and that deserves attention. the control there is a huge deal, having democrats lead both houses of the legislature while they've been holding governorship has been huge for the past years. it is the house of delegates. for the house and state ho legislature where every seat it up. the senate isn't up tomorrow. that's in

his opponent jack ciattarelli has not conceded.were waiting to see if the remaining ballots would put them in the margin for a recount. we are not hearing of fraud. i'm not looking to be rudy giuliani standing in front of a mulch pile. they are reporting ciattarelli plans on conceding tomorrow. he lost the race. it lost it eight days ago. yesterday, voting rights lawyer mark elias made a point about this. >> on last tuesday, terry mcauliffe lost a close election. the margin right now stands at 1.9%. he conceded the next morning. in new jersey, the republican candidate for governor lost by nearly 3%. he has not conceded. think about that. all of the pressure in the republican party is on their candidates never concede, never accept the results when they lose an election. that will lead to trouble in 2022 and 2024. >> it's not a fluke. it's a new strategy that new jersey republican candidate jack ciattarelli is not a trump loyalist. he have not favored to win. yet he tried to hold on. didn't concede. meant to undercut the ining at th

in new jersey, republican jack ciattarelli nearly pulled off a major upset over incumbent democraticr defeated one of the most powerful state president. >> i don't know what i don't know. i will learn what i need to know. >> a new jersey based pollster said it may be time to get rid of election polls. monmouth poll patrick murray says he blew it because his poll predicted an 8-point win for governor murphy. it did not provide an accurate picture of the state of the governor's race. bret? >> bret: all right. mike. thank you. the justice department is suing texas over its voting reform law. it prevents officials from sending unsolicited mail-in ballot applications. it also adds new identification requirements for mail-in voting. prints drive-thru and 24-hour voting locations. limits early voting and restricts who can help voters requiring assistance because of disabilities or language barriers. the justice department says the law violates voter rights. up next, president biden moves ahead with his vaccine mandate for large businesses and now we have a date for implementation. we will g

meanwhile in the deep, deep blue state of new jersey, republican jack ciattarelli within less than a

you have republican jack ciattarelli vying to up seat phil murphy, a democrat. is not as close but it's more competitive. we'll see what this rally looks like tonight. >> charles: meantime, president biden's approval ratings continue to fall. one of the reasons that republicans believe they can unseat the democrats in those races. new jersey republican candidate jack ciattarelli was on cavuto live over the weekend. listen to this. >> republicans have done it six of the last ten times in new jersey. we're going to do it again. >> charles: with biden's slipping numbers, democrats join me to weigh-in. tom bevins. i'm not a big poll guy but i think they're great with respect to momentum. it's pretty clear both candidates, the virginia republican candidate, they have all the momentum going into tomorrow. >> charles, that's right. youngkin leads in the last three polls that have been taken in the virginia governor's race the last few days. so clearly the trend line is moving in his favor and that's why democrats are really scrambling, particularly to get out the black

jack ciattarelli, thanks very much.re today, sir. >> thanks, martha. >> martha: we'll be joined in moments by virginia candidate for governor, glenn youngkin who is out barnstorming in the southwestern part of the state today. we'll ask him why he's focused there now as he looks at tomorrow's big election. an exclusive that you tonight want to miss with the attorney for this man, dave halls, the assistant director on the movie "rust". he handed the gun to alec baldwin that killed crew member halyna hutchins. what his attorney wants to tell you about what happened that day when we come back. >> do me a favor. i'm going to answer the question. >> i appreciate -- >> the guy is overwhelmed with grief. you know, there are incidental accidents on film sets from time to time. but nothing like this. this is a one in a trillion episode. people with moderate to severe psoriasis, are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create the entrance they make, the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make.

and yet, his opponent, jack ciattarelli still has not conceded. a lawyer for the campaign told us that they are waiting to see if the remaining balance were put in the margin for recount. and they said, quote, we are not hearing any credible accounts of fraud or malfeasance, i'm not looking at a pile of ballot. this evening, political reporting ciattarelli now plans and conceding the race tomorrow. though we will see. look, he clearly lost the race. he lost it last week. the margin is not small. yesterday, voting rights were marked alliances where they made a mark about it and crystallized it all. >> on last tuesday, terry mcauliffe lost a gubernatorial election. the margin right now is 1.9%. he conceded the next. morning in new jersey, the republican candidate for governor lost by nearly 3%, he is still not conceding. think about that. all the pressure in the republic parties in their candidate never concede, never accept the results when they lose a election. and that will lead to trouble in 2022 and 2024. >> it is not a fluke, it is a new strat

but the county has historically voted red and swung back last night in a major way jack ciattarelli won morris count by about 14 percentage points at last count but will counties like this be enough to put him over the edge in a state that has a million more registered democrats than republicans? that's unclear it could be another week before we know. because we still have mail-in ballots, and those will be counted until about november 8th. if it's still razor thin, we're likely headed for a recount. in new jersey recounts aren't automatically triggered like some other states so in order to request a recount here there has to be reason to believe an error occurred, voting irregularities. but in a state that most consider reliably blue, experts that we spoke to say the reality is actually a lot more nuanced >> new jersey is a lot more purple than people realize we lean right when it comes to fiscal issues and pocket book issues, left when it comes to social issues but the state has some of the most affluent and the least affluent geographic regions in the country and that really shows wh

murphy has been re-elected to a second term in new jersey, defeating his republican challenger jack ciattarelli. we'll be talking with the great steve kornacki shortly about why it took so long to call this race, how close it ended up being in the end. but it looks like the democratic party did lose the governor's race in virginia but not the one in new jersey, which breaks pattern in a way that is favorable toward the democrats. and, honestly, the headlines today were like, how the democrats were destroyed. if the democrats aren't panicking now, they sure ought to be. honestly, there is one thing that they ought to maybe panic about, which is that the polling was terrible again, both in virginia and in new jersey, the public polling for a lot of the race seems to have been pretty much off like it has been for a couple of cycles now. if they don't figure out a way to fix that, their campaigns aren't going to be calibrated right in any elections in the future. so they can panic about the fact that polling still is bad, sure, yes, okay. but, honestly, what happened here, for the past 30 years, ev

gop candidate jack ciattarelli is attacking murphy on his covid response and tax policy calling the mandates too expensive and pointing out new jersey is one of the highest taxed states for residents. another issue sun employment. here in new jersey the state rate is 7.1%, among the highest in the country. new jersey lacks momentum in regaining jobs lost during the pandemic. while it had some of the strictest lockdown measures. still, many voters we speak to here say they trust murphy with another term. others tell us that it is time for a change. >> mandates for children, young children, what is being taught, the curriculum. >> i really impressed with murphy how he is taking care of the covid pandemic. >> i'm afraid governor murphy will not let unvaccinated people into restaurants and bars. i don't think the people of new jersey will take kindly to that. reporter: now governor murphy had a sizable double-digit lead over gop candidate ciattarelli in the month leading up to today's election but in the final weeks, ciattarelli really closed in, narrowing the margin and pollsters say that is si

carley: jack ciattarelli may he demand a recount of new jersey's gubernatorial election results. phil murphy won re-election in the state by a slim margin. right now, there are 70,000 provisional ballots still left to be counted. there are also an unknown am of mail-in ballots that need to be counted as welch ciattarelli said while the vote count is close, the campaign is not making accusations of fraud. todd: congressional republicans are preparing for a big midterm election next year as americans prove they are ready to vote out far left policy. carley: the house gop sets its sights on dozens of democrats they view as vulnerable. >> republicans are riding a new wave of confidence after resounding victories last week. the gop house fund raising team are saying they're targeting 70 democrat incumbents in the 2022 midterms. >> democrats can't protect us across the world, democrats can't protect our streets and democrats can't protect us in the water. >> how did president biden get this so wrong? >> tom emers' saying the weak leadership and socialist agenda led to chaos at home and
