january runoff, there is a special election taking place on generally five as well, the seat that kelly leffler is trying to hold onto. she is in a race against her democratic challenger, rafael warnock, there in georgia. so georgia could become a key state january 5 with two final senate seats being decided that day. to put this in context for you, right now democrats have taken over two seats in the senate. that is in colorado and arizona. republicans have taken over one seat in the senate. that is in alabama, or senator doug jones lost his seat to tell me to prevail. -- two tommy to reveal. -- two tommy tupper ville. if thom tillis hold onto his seat in north carolina as well, they could net three seats in the senate, and the reason i bring that up is because if joe biden's president, democrats would need to net three seats to take over the senate. so the senate could still be in play if this georgia special election, the georgia regular election of david purdue goes to a runoff alongside that special election. so something about super bowl in the senate could be taking place january 5 in ge

[ cheers and applause >> the second race pits gop senator kelly leffler against pastor wornock if democrats win both of those seats, they will control the senate if joe biden wins the white house and that means they'll get to set the agenda. republicans so far have been careful not to declare victory just yet and even today senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said he's not sure he's going to be able to keep his title. back to you. >> so let me understand it here. the split is 50 gop and 48 to the democrats. the democrats have to win the two to tie at 50 if biden holds the lead in the white house race, then vice president kamala harris would break the tie. but if it breaks the republican way, it would be 52-48 gop, right? >> that's right. you've got the math right there, tyler. this is really important not just for legislative agenda but also for who biden can even put in his cabinet in democrats hold the majority, they only need 50 votes to confirm who his cabinet picks can be and end up crafting his agenda over the next four years, if he does in fact win the white house. >> candidates,

the main headline into news this week about these runoffs is whether kelly leffler has covid.e know she tested positive and negative and then inconclusive, all over a few days we people have been focused on this issue, a political and public issue. the real political drama here that will come over the next coming weeks and months which is why you are seeing so many tens of billions of dollars is that this election more than any other is going to solidify whether or not this state is turning blue as democrats claim it has. the arguments here is that you look at the margins over the state in the last 15 years, they have been consistently diminishing. if they keep that trend going they will have a lot from her ground to stand on. if it stays republican then obviously georgia is a swing states. a quick note, i spoke to a democratic strategist this morning who told me, they really feel their secret sauce here in the state of nebraska. they are telling me the state overall is becoming younger and more african-american. and that this is the thing that's really going to pay dividends

kelly leffler and david perdue are tremendous people.perately needed in the united states senate. >> for more i'm joined by susan del percio, republican strategist and senior adviser to the lincoln project and joel payne, democratic strategist. susan, i want to start with this question. would a biden visit help ossoff and warnock or prefer to have president obama visit and vice president-elect harris. biden didn't have huge coat tails for the down ballot candidates and trump can hurt his enthusiastics. for example he insulted arizona senator martha mcsally at her campaign rally, so who helps and who hurts? what do you think is the best strategy for both sides? >> i think donald trump has only helped himself at a rally. otherwise he always hurts the person he's out there to "help" and the reason i mention that is because he can only talk about himself. he's not going down there to talk about the two senators that are running for re-election. he's going down there to talk about himself and give out his own grievances. now, when you look wh

happening now, senator kelly leffler and florida senator marco rubio are headlining a rally ahead inurbs of runoff elections scheduled for january. dianne gallagher following the latest, of course, not just senator leffler out on the trail. >> that's right, jim, the entire state of georgia is team no sleep at this point. senator kelly loeffler is at safe our majority, and senator marco rubio and senator david perdue, who is no there, instead his wife is at this rally. they're trying to remind georgians as the general election is over, their duty is not. they have two runoff races in january they need to make sure people come out for. democratic candidates as well. democratic candidate jon ossoff, running against david perdue, is in the middle of this seven city state-wide marathon tour trying to drum up support and, again, make sure people turn out for a runoff election. the other democrat dropped more than $2 million on ad buys november 10th week alone. that's his second post general election ad buy already. look, the entire political world is looking at the state of georgia, not ju

next congress, and the republicans were forced off the campaign trail this weekend after senator kelly lefflerested positive for coronavirus. it also meant that david perdue, the other republican had to isolate. the two were together on friday at an event with vice president mike pence. they were seen without masked. they were in a confined space. that forced them to isolate, and stay off the campaign trail while leffler was tested again for coronavirus. one of the tests came back inconclusive. they checked again, they say they're negative. now she's waiting for a second test so she could have two tests in a row that show negative before she gets on the campaign trail. this has real implications because on monday, republicans are planning a big event with joni ernst. both perdue and loeffler were expected to be at this event. on the democratic side, they're not holiding rallies they're wearing masks. he said hello as people passed by in their cars. this race is so important. coronavirus a big part of the backdrop. the voters in georgia will have a second crack at both of these races on january

what is helping is the republican field is divided because senator kelly leffler who was appointed to fill the seat until the election faces strong republican challenge from congressman doug collins. is unlikely that any of these candidates will be able to get the 50% plus one majority georgia requires to avoid a runoff. that runoff will take place in january. >> dana: we have that to look forward to because elections never end. thank you, jonathan. with both sides wrapping up their push for the white house, i asked sean hannity what he thinks about president trump's reelection chances. >> i use the football analogy, it's the fourth quarter, 2 minutes to go, no timeouts, on your own, got to march down the field 80 yards kicking the extra point to win. never get over confident, i believe donald trump can be reelected the president, i've seen numerous past for him to achieve that and is going to take the voters to make that happen. it's very hard as you know for a republican to win the white house. you've got to win florida, a must-win state, have to win ohio, have to win georgia and no

a little information for kelly leffler.on: >> you hope republicans will be a little overconfident with the georgia races. nobody believes polls anymore that i talk to. if we are looking ahead to the democratic party and what they are dealing with regardless whether they have the senate, they will probably have the house. on capitol hill there will be a lot to work through. one of the cofounders has come forward to say to the biden and harris potential administration we expect some things from you. this is a letter from one of the cofounders, black people won this election, black lies matter invested heavily in this election, we want something for our vote. a lot of talk the democratic party is now going to go favors 2 or some allegiance to because of who showed up to vote. how does that play out? >> if you look at the results of this election in your joe biden you are going to say i barely made it. 70,000 votes, switching three states and we are talking about donald trump's second term. blm, progressive wing of the party dr
