this has been a legal battle back and forth between lindsay graham and the d.a.'a better part of five months now, and lindsey graham argued all along he should not have to testify because the questions he was asking was a fact-finding mission and doing his job as a legislature, and the judge said that is not the case, he still has to testify. i want to make one point, it's certainly notable, as you said, this is the highest ranking government official we have seen testifying before this, and these are not just georgia election officials, and these are people he had a great deal of conversations with the former president in the days he was contesting the election, and it's also showing the d.a. is closing in on the former president himself in terms of people she wants to talk to, lindsey. >> well, charles, on this call with georgia election staffers, senator graham asked whether the georgia secretary of state had the power to reject certain absentee ballots, and graham said he was just trying to understand the state's certification process for verifying ballot sign

lindsay graham tweeted all republicans should be focused on winning in georgia, and trying to understande midterm elections before senate leadership is moving onto the 2024 presidential race. others disagree. >> i think it's better we move forward with these elections so we can focus again on the georgia runoff. >> reporter: the house leans republican. >> we haven't given up, because of the quality of our candidates. >> it's sad we didn't get the true red wave. >> reporter: lawmakers returned to washington this week. among the items expected to be addressed, a fundalling bill to keep of operating, and emergency aid to help florida and puerto rico rebuild after recent hurricanes. bradley blackburn, cbs news, new york. >>> politicians on both sides of the aisle say they're encouraged that warnings of violence, voter intimidation and election denying did not materialize in any major way. president biden called it a win for democracy. amanda, give us an update on our local midterm races. >> we've been waiting for results to come in. things are still being counted. we're watching the mayor's

south carolina's lindsay graham says our republicans should be focused on winning georgia, before senate leadership elections, or moving onto the 2024 presidential race. others disagree. >> i think it's better that we move forward with these elections so we can focus again on the georgia runoff. >> reporter: cbs news projects the house leans republican. >> we haven't given up, because of the quality of our candidates. >> reporter: lawmakers return to washington this week, among the items expected to be addressed during the lame duck session, a funding bill to keep federal agencies operating. additional assistance for ukraine, and emergency aid to help florida and puerto rico rebuild after recent hurricanes. >> all right, let's give you a quick update on the local midterm races. votes are still being counted like the ones you see behind mae in alameda county. there's is still in resolution for any of the big races we're watching, like mayors of oakland, san jose, or the san francisco d.a.'s race. another reason results are taking so long to get in, at least in the south bay, a few of the

senator lindsay graham testifying today before a fulton county grand jury.ah murray has details for us. so what did prosecutors want to ask him about? >> reporter: prosecutors really wanted to know about his interactions with georgia election officials after the 2020 election. you know, one of those phone calls he made was to georgia state of the union, who he said he felt like graham was asking him to discard ballots. graham insisted that was not the case and not something he was ever asking the secretary of state to do. but prosecutors wanted to get to the bottom of those calls and any interactions that graham may have had with the trump campaign. after his appearance today, graham's office put out a statement saying today senator graham appeared before the fulton county grand jury and answered all questions. the senator feels he was treated with respect, professionalism and courtesy. >> how soon should we expect charges to be brought down in georgia? >> we've been told indictments could come as early as december. we know there are a number of people who h

. >> several notable names there like rick scott and lindsay graham, who is a close ally, and i haveno clue what he means when he says there's a double standard. and others are likely making the calculation that this will fade away or are they worried about alienating some group of voters? >> well, they are, of course, worried about alienating voters. where the republicans lost their opportunity in the mid-term election where history would have normally benefited them was in the suburbs with moderate republican voters who otherwise might have gone with the party, but are turned off by some of donald trump's selective candidates, and by donald trump's continual flirtation with extremism. it's interesting to see all these republicans say that, and the question is if it changes the dynamics. we have seen this movie before, we saw republicans say stuff after charlottesville and other times mr. trump did things that bothered them and gave troubles to the party, and it does seem to fade away and the former president was able to reassert his control over the party. he's at a moment of weakn

lindsay graham with a half-assed remark. it is sad. it is pa thetdic. ow. omar is a good example. democrats did criticize what she had to say and not all that much longer donald trump singled her out at a rally and then received death threats to go back to her own country. just before the election, attack on paul pelosi. and how there was criticism, the republicans claimed when steve scalise was shot by a liberal democrats didn't do anything. we played on the show the statements from nancy pelosi and senator sanders denouncing what happened and that's not met with the same sort of forceful denunciation after the pelosi attack. good to have some republicans saying this is bad but still so many hedging the bets with eyes on voters who they think they might need, too. >> what does donald trump say? nancy pelosi says we are all the same team and members of the family after steve scalise is shot. donald trump, what's he say? guy trying to assassinate the speaker of the house. yeah. how's she doing? how's nancy doing lately? disgusting. here's the good news, e

else, listen, lindsey graham is a little unhinged and he's part of the extreme maga republicans we see right now, that are making people lose faith in this process. i wish lindsayd lindsey graham. but this is what we see. this is what we see with donald trump and what we will see, and these candidates are lost with this extremism. right now, the american people want folks who are going to fight for them, who are going to help them and their families and communities. that's not what the republicans are giving them. that's what the democrats are doing right now. >> all right. jaime harrison, chairman of the dnc -- head of the dnc. thank you very much. >> coming up on "the reidout," why was the republican red wave narrative so completely wrong? and why did so many in media believe it? we'll discuss right after the break. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love, plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry.

so, i think lindsey graham has to look himself in the mirror and say, which lindsey am i going to be? the good lindsayindsey? and if he doesn't pick the good lindsey, then he's going to be rejected because people are sick of all this baloney. look, i lost a race my very first one. it is tough. you better just step up and say, i lost, i got to do better the next time. you don't start pointing fingers around. that is what they're so frustrating. they expected a red wave. instead, they got a read stop sign. stop, we don't want to kind of america you are talking about. that is what they got. >> secretary, you are part of the obama administration when republicans had control of the senate and the house. if that repeats the next two years, what does it mean for the democrats agenda? what can and what can't get done? >> well, alex, first of all i think a lot of folks are overjoyed that we didn't see that red wave, as senator boxer said. we've seen exactly the opposite. so, i hope that doesn't come to pass. but if it does, what we're going to see are a whole bunch of groundless investigations the way that the
