and then there was his republican opponent jamie vance who was given the chance to defend the attackinst paul pelosi, nancy pelosi's husband and jamie vance said this. >> let's condemn is against the beginning. i think it's disgusting and something that we all should condemn. what i've always said the way to try to turn this into a political issue here is an issue here. paul pelosi was attacked by a person who was an illegal alien who should never have been here in the country. my view we need to deport illegal aliens. >> the attack was a real problem because of illegal immigrants. jamie vance about the way fomented and spread information about the democratic party -- quite the opposite. both vance and ryan are locked in a tight place. vance leading ryan by two percentage points and tim ryan hoping he can close that gap by not only turning out faithful democratic voters but also asking trump supporters who give him a shot which is why he's doing fox town halls. and today he got the support of someone who is not, congressman liz cheney, endorsement is good thing but is this helpful, l

>> i would not vote for jamie vance. [ applause ] >> so, if you were a buckeye state voter, you'd being for tim ryan? >> i would. >> are there other democrats you might endorse between now and next tuesday? >> i endorsed one just now. >> and staying in ohio, abortion was a major topic at a town hall meeting between ryan and vance. the gop candidate says he supports a federal ban on abortion, while ryan said he believes that roe got it right. >> j.d. vance wants a national abortion ban. and he wouldn't be happy with these people going to illinois, he wants them to have a passport and go to canada. he called rape -- >> this is after 15 weeks. >> after 15 weeks -- >> what's your number? you say you don't want it after -- >> i say we go back to roe v. wade. roe v. wade was in the third -- [ cheers and applause ] in the third term, in the third term of roe v. wade, you could only do it if there was some kind of medical emergency. >> at that same town hall, vance bound to accept the results of the midterms whether he wins or not. but he praised the integrity of ohio's elections, while simu

but one of trump's endorsements who did win, "hillbilly elgy" author jamie vance in ohio. >> whether is go to the united states senate and fight every single day for the people of ohio. thanks to you, we get an opportunity to do just that. >> reporter: while trump may have lost some luster, florida governor ron desantis shining bright. he didn't seek or receive trump's endorsement, but he didn't need the former president's help, winning by nearly 20 points. >> thank you for a historic landslide victory! >> trump is just gearing up to take on desantis. he sees desantis as somebody he created. in fact, when desantis ran the first time, he would not have won without trump. but desantis has gone his own way, and i think that really bothers trump. >> this flirtation with ron desantis as the heir apparent to donald trump has been going on for about a year now. and it's clear that the desantis camp has been listening. they are doing and engaging in things that look as though he's laying the foundation for a presidential run and to potentially challenge donald trump. >> reporter: in georgia,

pose before this to marie, i'm just going to interrupt you for a moment that because we now have jamie vance. he's speaking from a higher, he's just one, the senate raised after republican people on the, on the stage with me. i just want to say, you know, you can't do this without your family support and especially my beautiful wife who sure thank you for that. and the great thing about having 3 young children, we have a 5 year old, a 2 year old and it's in muddled. they're upstairs and sleep. they have no idea what the hell is going on. i wanna, i want to thank my family. it's so great to have everybody here, mom, it we, everybody, lindsey, i won't go through the entire list here, but i'll call jimmy and donna, it's funny, my family helps keep me grounded as we're walking down here. my aunt said to my uncle, aren't you glad that he won? that would be terrible. right home. right. that's what we're thinking here in the vans family. we're we're, we're sticking out the important stuff. i could not have done this good, not of one. this race could not have had what we, what we have here tonight.

night of the midterm campaign in dayton, ohio, where he was supposed to be getting support for jamie vanceoing to be making a very big announcement on tuesday, november 15th, at mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida. we want nothing to detract from the importance of tomorrow. you understand that, j.d.? >> the music playing behind him, november 15th is the day after trump is supposed to give testimony to the january 6th committee and perhaps coincidentally the same day that mike pence's autobiography comes out. >>> joining us now, washington bureau chief for the brand new news platform. thank you for being here, benji. you've been overseeing mid terms coverage. let's talk about a few key race that's you're watching to night because we anticipate there are a lot of results we're not going to know tonight. there will be some days before all the votes are counted. but what are some races you're zeroing in on that will tell you how you think things are going go? >> first all, you're right. it's possible this things are close that he with won't know who controls the senate for days, even weeks. but

we're going to come back to jamie. vance has now taken the stage in ohio with president and former president trump. >> people who are going to fight for the issues and actually get something done for the people of ohio. that's what i want to do. >> let's get out to the polls tomorrow. thank you, paul . thank you, j.d. you're going to win big. it's going to send a signal to these people that are ruining our country. they're destroying our country. tomorrow. you also need to get out and vote to reelect governor mike dewine and your hotel and governor john used that. we've got to do that. he's done a good job. he's done a good job. mike and jon newman, an outstanding team who have fought tirelessly to bring jobs and factories back to ohio. i worked with him on doing that, including the twenty billion intel plant that will create more than 20000 ohio jobs. and they cut taxes, slash regulations, and they delivered historic funding for support and for the police officers. and they've really done a job. mike and john are running ag

in ohio we won, jamie e vance pulled out a win by 6.5 points while the wind was running by 25 points. in georgia herschel walker made it to the runoff. i'm hoping for the best, but this was a story. pennsylvania was a bloodbath. we had a weak candidate who loses by 15 points, the most for an open seat since the 1950s. i thought dr. oz was a good candidate, kept it close but we lost three opportunities for house seats, lost the state house and the party needs to get past donald trump. jerry: cannot get past donald trump? he is still set to announce what everyone is expecting to be his big announcement tuesday, his candidacy. he seems to have according to polls before the midterms a sizable support among republican primary voters, may not appeal to independents, can he be beaten? >> absolutely. his influence was always going to wayne and the disastrous outcome this past tuesday, his responsibility frankly will answer that and we've seen candidates that are not close to him and crossed swords with him do quite well, georgia's governor, ron desantis a 20 point win in florida, is stunning.

vance to back them up. what does that mean for democracy? joining me is member of the january 6 committee, jamie raskin. year here because you just received the attorney of the year award for the american lawyer magazine. congratulations. >> thank you. >> don't be bashful. it's a good big deal. >> i tried one major case in my life and that was the donald trump impeachment. it ended up with a 57-43 vote that sound like a victory. we didn't get to two-thirds so he wasn't convicted. >> this is a case that will go down in history. you seem very deserving of the award. i want to get your sense of what is happening right now and how you are feeling about the results as we have them thus far. >> i feel great about the results. >> do you feel like democracy is in better hands? >> i feel encouraged. i feel emboldened. people were saying that america was going to fall for this wall of, you know, dark money propaganda about crime and inflation which was an absolute distraction from the fact that joe biden is presided over a huge economic come back. the fact they endanger our democracy to the point of encouraging a

vance, msnbc legal analyst and former alabama u.s. attorney. choice, think very much for coming to the sunday show. chair bennie thompson secretive foreperson some due to handle outstanding issues regarding january six. congressman jamieiminal and civil referrals for people who have broken the law and who may have escaped scrutiny. what does this mean? why is it important? >> congress has done a great job through the subcommittee what highlighting some of the most important issues surrounding january 6th. and putting them out front and center in the public's mindset. in a way, i think we didn't fully expect they'd be able to do. so while these referrals particularly the criminal ones may not carry a lot of weight at doj which is notoriously independent and its decision-making process. i think this may well help focus americans on the conclusions that the committee reached. and perhaps more important the sheer volume of the body of support of those conclusions. >> the committee also needs to decide what the next steps are now that donald trump has failed to comply. with his subpoena. what could those next steps be. >> so the options there i think are limited. the subpoena expires with the onset of the new congress. i t
