for david perdue and kelly loeffler, they cut taxes.soff and raphael warnock are going to raise taxes on people and businesses all across the country. you may have seen in raphael warnock is actually caught on tape calling members of the united states senate "gangsters and thugs" because they voted to cut taxes on hardworking americans across the peach state. and raphael warnock has called our most cherished l.a l.a. "an apartheid state." president donald trump did what no american president had ever done before when he moved to the american embassy to jerusalem, the capital of the state of israel. [cheers and applause] i'll tell you, under president donald trump, david perdue and kelly loeffler, if the world knows nothing else, the world will know this. america stands with israel.

loeffler is? so steady and consistent, we first flagged it when we had 30% of the vote in statewide, it's been the story. almost every county we've been looking at, if you're watching, you see this every time we click on one of these counties, 27.3 in harris county for ossoff, that's one of the smaller ones, 27.5, two tenths of one point. warnock has of him consistently across the board. >> in terms of the relative performance of ossoff and warnock does it look to you relatively speaking they're both either outmatching or outpacing or are they have opposite sides of the biden standard? >> fulton county we can revisit there. and just my producer was telling me the last few minutes there are a few precincts -- we are not quite sure this is all of fulton county. it's very, very close. warnock comfortably above that at this .1.1 points above it and there's ossoff above it. you were saying, rachel, 72.9 in fulton and 73.7 in fulton, almost a full point in a county that's 10% of the state that can add u

is it about warnock and ossoff or is it about perdue and loeffler, do some like perdue better than loefflermaybe that's it. but warnock is running ahead of ossoff. one of the most striking things we'll be hearing after the election, we heard from democrats in the last few weeks. they believe they had found new voters. voters who hadn't pardon meed in the november elections, specifically african-american voters, they believed they were going to do better, turn out more black voters particularly in a band of rural county, albany, georgia, down here, southwest georgia, a lot of counties, kind of a band stretching south and east of macon, all the way up to the augusta area. they thought in the early voting they were saying we found new voters, new black voters, who are turning up for this runoff. we weren't sure coming in today, was that real or not. one of the stories we saw in these largely black rural counties, we saw democrats doing better. we saw warnock and ossoff doing better than biden had in november. we saw turnout, compared to the november election, it was holding up better in a lot

i want to start by getting your reaction to kelly loeffler. saying she too would essential le vote to invalidate the election results in multiple states presumably your state and her state of georgia. your thoughts? >> thanks so much. good to be here with you. listen, this is very disappointing. it's not at all surprising. the one good thing i can say about my opponent is she is consistent. she's consistently putting her own interest above the people she's supposed to be representing. and so, it's quite a development to be sure. but, for weeks we have been calling on loeffler to stand up for the people of georgia. to hon nour the voices of the people she wants to represent. honoring tha honoring their votes. and she's consistently refused to do that. and while this is disappointing it's surprising. georgia needs a senator not a sycophant. they need someone who understands that their job is to represent the people. kelly efrl is the unelected senator of georgia. in just a few hours the people of georgia will stand up and correct that. she was a

kelly loeffler and david perdue have to pivot on that issue.ome of the races and the outcome of the majority. i don't think that changes mitch mcconnell's mind, no matter what, whether he's majority leader or minority leader in january, february. i don't see when they come back for more relief, i don't see that he's going to be supportive of those checks. mike: all right, panel. it's been an action-packed couple of segments together. thank you for your time. happy new year. and it's been a pleasure. >> thanks, mike. >> thank you. >> happy new year, you all. mike: tensions in the middle east on the one year anniversary of the u.s. killing a top iranian general. more on that, next. fine, no one leaves the table until your finished. fine, we'll sleep here. ♪ it's the easiest because it's the cheesiest. kraft. for the win win. mike: flairing tensions between the u.s. and iran as the world marks one year of the u.s. killing of a top iranian general. trey yingst is live in more in jerusalem. hi, trey. >> reporter: good afternoon. the middle east is o

kelly loeffler at one time is saying go vote in january's election, go vote tomorrow. by the way, i'm going to challenge the results of last month's election. we know she's going to challenge the electoral college results that will have to include georgia's electoral results. it's the tightrope she's having to walk to win the trump voters that she can't win without and also to try to win this election even when president trump is attacking other republicans in the state at the same time. >> blayne alexander, shaq brewster, patricia murphy, thank you all guys. >>> during that rally in georgia, president trump's mind was clearly on what happens tomorrow when congress meets in a joint session. it's going to officially cement joe biden's win two weeks before the inauguration. nbc's garrett haake is on capitol hill and monica alba is covering the white house for us. monica, i want to start with you on this one. as we're talking about the rally, the president mentioning his own vice president last night during that rally, putting a heck of a lot of pressure on him. let's pla

those folks like loeffler, those senators like loeffler and senator perdue, they're there to hold thee can stop socialism, so we can stop communism, so we can support and fund our police. they also know what's at stake too, the first and second amendment. the president being here, the people that connect with him, they know we have to win this election today. historically, republicans do not of come out in early voting, they do come out on election day. this race will be run today based on republicans coming out. that will be the determining factor. i believe they'll come out in record numbers. dagen: vernon, i've said before, don't tell georgians what they need in their state. they know what they need in their state. you know, a lot of money coming in from outside of the state, senator chuck schumer said first we take georgia, then we change america. that doesn't really wash well. vernon, tell me what outside looking in we might be missing about the makeup of the vote in georgia? yesterday, i mentioned that farmers in south georgia, black farmers in particular are very supportive of

is there a difference in perdue and loeffler, do some like perdue better than loeffler? whatever it is, warnock is runningis ahead of ossoff. one of the things we will discuss in the t aftermath of t election is we heard from democrats for the last few weeks as the early voting period took shape they believed they had found new voters, voters who hadn't participated in the november election,d specifical african american voters. they believed they were going to doel better, turn out more blac voters, particularly in sort of art band of rural counties, a l of rural counties here, you know, outside columbus, albany, georgia is down here, southwest georgia, a lot of counties down here and kind of a band stretching across, you know, south and east of macon up to the augusta area. they thought in the early voting and they were saying, we found new voters, new black voters who are turning out for this run-off. we weren't sure coming into today was it real or not. one of the stories we saw tonight in the heavily black, largely black rural counties, we saw democrats doing better.

not only that, both opponents of senator perdue and senator loeffler are extremely radical. been talking to everybody, not just republicans, democrats, libertarians, independents, their policies would take us very far left. we are not, we're a center-right state in georgia. connell: right. always has been. changing lately especially in these areas in the suburbs? >> i do. i live in atlanta. i've seen that there. we still have, why president trump is going to north georgia today. there is still a great contingent there. they haven't voted yet. that is why he is there. we have got to get every single voter out to vote tomorrow. it is the most important message that i can say. connell: good to see you again, ginger. you're hoping for lower taxes less regulation. >> absolutely. we believe the republican party stands for limited government, lower taxes and personal responsibility. so i encourage everyone who has not voted tomorrow to vote for those policies. connell: we'll see how it turns out. ginger howard live in marietta. a small business owner from the atlanta area. we'll ha

>> the both kelly loeffler and senator perdue deserve reelection they're both fine senators.'ve done a great job. but i think republicans will understand the gravity of this moment in history and come out to vote along with independents and some democrat of good conscience. the democratic candidates come from the far left of their spectrum. i don't think they're in line with the vast majority of georgia citizens. so i'm looking forward to a win win for republicans in the georgia senate races. it is so important that we keep the united states senate and republican hands. jon: according to a fox news poll taken in early december, more than a third of americans believe that there was fraud in this presidential election and they believe that it was essentially stolen from president trump among all vote rs yo see the number there is 36% believe it was still and trump voters 77% even among democrats 10% say they believe the election was stolen. hence, your push to get the electoral college vote held up until you get this investigation? >> the american people deserve answers. the am

kelly loeffler got 71%. you'll be like, oh, donald trump visited. kelly loeffler got 71%. that's great. well, not really. it's not that much different than what joe biden and donald trump did there in the presidential election. biden got 29%. raphael warnock got 29% there, so trump's visit didn't really do anything to change the election results there. republicans were not able to turn out the numbers that they were hoping and counting on. and it seems if anything, the activities of donald trump over the last two months probably depressed the republican vote in the state. alisyn? >> john, we know you'll be counting all morning. thousands of votes still being counted, including in georgia's largest county. cnn's ryan young is live in dekalb county with more. what's happening there, ryan? >> we talked to voters yesterday, who told us how they were tired of all the negative ads. we saw the counting going on all through the night. last night, they stopped around 4:00 in the morning. we're told they're going to start counting again around 10:30. those workers looked exhausted a

so i'm not concerned about kelly loeffler. she can call me whatever she wants.nd many of the same names she called me, called my heroes by those names. martin luther king jr. and the folks i got to know right in atlanta who work alongside, vivian, john lewis, andrew young. so i'm going to be focused on the fact that people need health care. they need covid-19 relief. i think it's interesting that kelly loeffler has been in the senate for ten months and she hasn't even bothered to make a case for why the people of georgia should elect her. she was appointed. it's clear the people of georgia are disappointed and she's sounding more and more desperate every day in her rhetoric because she's focused on herself and so here's the clear choice of people in georgia. you can help her to help herself or you can help me to help you. and i'm deeply honored that this kid who grew up in public housing, one of 12 children in my family, is now running for the u.s. senate against the wealthiest number of congress. it means that the american dream and promise is very much alive.

that he wants loeffler and pr due to win.all did you get that sense that he wants them to win? >> he pretty much spoke only of himself except in the context of if you don't fix this for me, the senate republicans running on tuesday could also be hurt by these -- what he calls voter irregularities. so, he has to kind of -- still pushing himself first and foremost. look, that's what he did during his december 5th rally in valdosta near the florida border when he came the first time. he spoke mostly about his own election grievances and spoke very little time about the election candidates. >> kelly loeffler has not gotten on board with some of her fellow republicans saying they will reject the election results. >> purdue's term expires -- he has a gap between now and at least after the electoral votes, certification process will be taking place. he won't be participating in that. kelly loeffler is in this difficult position. she doesn't want to emphatically break with trump. neither does she want to fully endorse his view that t

you had -- put purdue and loeffler in a tough spot there. you had his call for the $2,000 direct payment that was blocked by the republican senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell and then you've now got the democrats saying elect the democrats. put chuck schumer in charge and you get your $2,000 direct payment. seems that the president has intentionally or not made it much more difficult -- i'm not saying they're not going to win but mated it more difficult for these two incumbents to hold on to their positions. >> if you're a democrat, you have to be pleased with the chaos or disarray on the other side of the equation. we'll watch with great interest. thanks, chris. good to see you. >> good to see you. see you tomorrow. >> so wall street losing ground today as georgia decides between red and blue and a new report from a major investment bank says more selling could happen if democrats win both of the georgia senate seats. we'll find out about that. susan li will join us from fox business with more of a rough start to the new year for inves

the other one with loeffler and warnock, lead of about 85,000.hen you go into the counties, you can see some weaknesses for both sides, frankly. i will show that to you, shannon as we move throughout the map. let's come back and put that up, sorry there, okay, back to purdue and ossoff and it changed again. this is real-time data, shannon. you see it when we see it here on the map behind us. 119,000 just shy of 120,000 votes. so where are the votes left on the map here? floyd county, it took a while to get a vote in here. happy republican produced well up there. this is county, rome, georgia, rally back in late october for the president. we expected purdue to do well, but there was a little hesitance to release the results that kicked in an hour ago. the democratic side, we are hearing savannah, chatham county, where ossoff has the lead with about 58% of the votes from a quarter of the vote to be counted here. the election county officials in chatham have called it for the night. they will resume apparently, the reports early tomorrow morning. wi

loeffler will not concede the race last night.e heard from the two candidates last night. >> and so, to everyone out there struggling today, whether you voted for me or not, know this, i hear you. i see you. and every day i'm in the united states senate, i will fight for you. >> we have some work to do here. this is a game of inches. we're going to win this election. >> reporter: the other race between senator perdue and jon ossoff as you mentioned is extremely close. both campaigns saying they're feeling good. the ossoff campaign saying they think they will pull or stay ahead as more votes come in. the perdue campaign saying they will take it to court if needed to and use every legal avenue they have before giving up the race. you can tell both sides promised this race will be razor thin. both sides promised it will be a close race to the finish. and both sides delivered on that promise, kasie. >> that's for sure. it's going to be a potentially seismic shift here in washington, if we end up calling this race for jon ossoff. nbc's

and loeffler as well. this is forsythe county. this is red, trending blue over the past six years, i would say. we've got a lot of vote still outstanding, 3/4 still to be counted. perdue with a slight lead. i will tell you this, population centers here in the middle, atlanta. this is -- well, fulton county is at 88%. numbers reporting a lot faster than we saw 60 days ago. this is dekalb county, heavily populated. there are a lot of democratic votes there. heavy african-american population as well. there is a significant amount of this vote that is still outstanding. they're only clocking in at 35%, so this is going to change the overall state wide picture as we move through the night. but as it stands right now, 44,000. >> hannity: one question. >> fire away. >> hannity: where are we in terms of the percentage of the vote, fulton and dekalb? >> fulton county right now is reporting 88%. warnock 75, loeffler 24.8. the other ticket, at 88.3%, ossoff 74 and perdue 25. that's fulton county. you wanted dekalb as well? >> hannity: yes, s

he's tweeted, quote: we'll be in georgia to rally for senators david perdue and kelly loeffler.n tuesday. perdue, by the way, officially today, well, he's a former senator because a new senate convened without him, so will president trump's help in that rally help the republicans win and keep the two seats and keep gop control of the senate? republican georgia congressman buddy carter is with us of georgia. congressman, good to see you. what do you expect on tuesday? >> well, i expect a big republican turnout, no question about it. the republicans in georgia get it. we understand the national. applications that this race has -- implications. this is arguably the most important race, at least on the federal level, that we've ever had in the state of georgia. we understand that we've got to stop socialism. it is not going to come through georgia. and i think the republican voters in georgia realize that, and they're going to turn out en masse on tuesday, no question about it. eric: you've already had a record number of votes, 3 million or so, and a lot of those are in heavily demo

you said loeffler has been campaigning with the klansman. that's not true.rmer member of the klan took a photo with senator loeffler at a campaign event. her campaign says she didn't know who he was and has condemned him. i'm sure you've taken photos with thousands of strangers. is it important for candidates to tell the truth? >> it is. and it's even more distressing that this isn't an isolated incident. loeffler has repeatedly been seen campaigning alongside radical white supremacists and i believe they're drawn to her campaign. because her campaign has consisted almost entirely of racist attacks on the black lives matter movement, and on the black church. and so the fact that these elements continue to be drawn to her, to support her, to campaign alongside and appear in photos next to her is distressing. it's happening at the same time that kelly loeffler and david perdue and georgia republicans are mounting a vicious assault on voting rights in georgia. lawsuit after lawsuit to disenfranchise black voters, purge the roles, remove ballot drop boxes and i

hours before a rally with kelly loeffler, kelly loeffler decided to join this renegade bunch of senators who are going to object to the electoral counting process tomorrow. didn't seem to help either of them. >> look, ali, even before the election day, republicans were ceding the ground. if we lose, you know why. it's president trump. and that's because president trump spent more time attacking fellow republicans in georgia like governor brian kemp, secretary of state raffensperger than he did the incumbents than he did attacking ossoff and warnock. you saw that in the rally monday night where he spent most of the time expressing his own grievances over his falsehoods over the election defeat and very little time talking about the two incumbents. >> let's talk a little about -- perdue has put out a statement that his team seems to believe he's won the election. we are calling it too close to call right now with ossoff in the lead. but he's immediately talking about legally-cast votes and legal challenges. when you throw it around enough, people begin to believe that there are problems wi

kelly loeffler not as popular.r as david perdue as we said has been elected to the senate. kelly loeffler was appointed by brian kemp. the governor, had never won an election in georgia and that may have hurt her. raphael warnock also fulton county, let me point it out, he is a reverend at ebenezer baptist church, martin luther king sr.'s church. deep roots which are so important. in fulton county raphael warnock got 72.4% of the vote. let me compare it in this case to david perdue to jon ossoff. you can see raphael warnock got 4,000 more votes in fulton county than jon ossoff did so you can see raphael warnock overperforming joe biden in some cases and also jon ossoff who was also running in this election so strong candidacy for him across the country. one other thing that happened yesterday, donald trump came to campaign against both democratic senators. this is the county that he went to. you look at this and say, oh, man, raphael warnock got shellacked. 29% of the vote but it wasn't really a change from what ha

cast a vote to send david perdue and kelly loeffler back to the united states senate. [applause] we've got to have georgia hold the line. will you do it? [cheers and applause] i believe you will. i believe you will, because i have faith. just like all of you. i have faith in the people of this state. the people of this state represent all that is great about this country. family and faith and freedom. i just know that you're going to get out and cast that vote, you'll talk to your neighbors and friends, in every hour that remains between now and when the polls close tomorrow. and tell them what's at stake in this election. the eyes of america are on georgia. people who share our values and our ideals across this country, we are looking to you. we are looking to you, georgia. we are looking to you to hold the line, and i believe with all my heart that you will. lastly, i have that as a kind of, too. the challenging times in which we live, i believe more than ever. and we stand in the need of prayer. [cheers and applause] and i know that millions of americans are joining

rick, reverend warnock projected to defeat kelly loeffler. at the remaining vote there's a lot of optimism among democrats. is tonight confirmation that georgia has turned purple? and how did democrats defeat these expectations? >> yeah, this is an earthquake. and when you take this on top of the biden victory two missouris a go, you recognize this is a changing state. i think you have to look back to democrats and also opportunity. because you'd had the changing population. a vast number of new people moving into the state, a younger, more diverse electorate that is changing the face of georgia, a long-term plan hatched by stacey abrams and others over the past decade to try to get that into registration numbers. the way the democrats stitched together coalitions and got voters who didn't vote two months ago out to the polls, you recognize this is the culmination of a longstanding strategy that could have very long-lasting implications. >> mary alice, talk about those strategies, the long-term ones, also some of the other big surprises tonig

loeffler voters, 77% of loeffler voters say, no. the 2020 election was not conducted fairly.u heard her saying she's going to support opposing the electoral college count tomorrow in congress. only 20% of her voters say yes. compare that with raphael warnock's voters, it's a totally different picture. 92% of warnock voters in this runoff race say yes, the 2020 presidential election in georgia that joe biden won was conducted fairly. only 6% say no. what about this election? how did they feel about the votes being counted in the runoff? among loeffler voters it's an even split. 50% of her voters are very or somewhat confident they'll be counted accurately. but the other half of her own voters are not at all confident. warnock's voters, it's a different story. they have confidence in the system. 96% say they are confident, very or somewhat, that their votes will be tallied up accurately in this election today, wolf. >> two very, very different universe i indeed. let's go back to jake. >> wolf, thanks so much. right now we have new reporting from our correspondents covering pres

the reverend from atlanta leads loeffler by a thin margin but it's enough to call this race. again, warnock the presumed winner. about 45 minutes ago warnock says he's proud to be georgia's first black senator. >> i am going to the senate to work for all of georgia. no matter who you cast your voted for in this election. >> we're going to win this election. we're going to save this country. >> senator loeffler there remains optimistic but again nbc news now calling that race that warnock is the winner. the other race, here are the latest numbers, also razor thin. democrat jon ossoff is trying to unseat republican david perdue. they are virtually tied. you can see that 50% for both candidates with 98% of the vote in. and also just a few minutes ago ossoff took a slight lead, this was according to nbc news. now, the democrats feel they are on the verge of sweeping both of those runoff elections in georgia. if they do sweep, the democrats would control the senate and the house. so what happens as we head into tomorrow? here's nbc bay area's ian cull. >> reporter: the balance of

. >> if either republican kelly loeffler or david perdue win their contest, republicans will hold ontoheir razor-thin senate majority. but if democrats raphael warnock or -- and, i should say, jon ossoff both managed to win their races, they'll complete a clean sweep of washington power. all indications that at this hour going to be a pair of very close races. more as we get it tonight. >> ballot counting underway, president trump has challenge the presidentia results. i very closely watched county in georgia. so how are things going there tonight? >> martha, it's rather quiet. throughout the day at seems things have been going smooth and certainly under the spotlight after all those claims of fraud, the president of united states said even in this phone call says he lost the state of georgia in part of fulton county. he claims hundreds of thousands of ballots mysteriously. the secretary of state adamantly denied those claims. a somewhat quiet right now, people coming on and off breaks. they enter in boxes in a far corner and then we are told that they go through that signature check a

kelly loeffler talked about it.watched -- if you watched tv you saw some of these ads in georgia. >> you saw the ads. let's be clear about what happened here. we just came off a contentious presidential election in the state of georgia an inundated with the senate ads in the primary and in the general and then in a runoff as well. don't pretend as though people didn't turn that off. what they didn't turn off were their local newscasts. what they didn't turn off were the national newscasts. and if the mainstream media refused to cover these issues, it's not just about what they cover, it's about what they don't cover. and it's about how they cover it. and so when those issues don't come to the fore and the people don't get a chance to see exactly what raphael warnock is all about, exactly what john ossoff is all about, no wonder this type of thing culminates in a potential victory for both of those two men. dagen: did president trump's behavior leading up to these runoff elections hurt the turnout and hurt the enthus

kelly loeffler on the streets sandy springs, georgia.ong time said the unincorporated sand asprings north of the city of atlanta. a lot of blue votes for the democrats come from that part of the state. back to the "new york post." headline i showed you. here is what they say. georgia's duty stop the far left from dominating congress. advance it one time. regulation will increase, a job-killing green new deal becomes a real possibility. court packing and socialized medicine to say nothing of the way united democratic front will impose identity politics of the nation and cancel offenders any way they can. >> absolutely. first they are correct. look at the people. you have a bernie sanders socialist in charge of the budget committee. who controlled the judiciary, across each gavel you go from someone who is america first to someone who has a very different perspective. then you look at the overarching things they would want to change from packing the court. getting rid of the filibuster, adding states. things that are significant structural

reporter: and the argument that we heard kelly loeffler make today, david, was that not only are taxes going to go up but regulations are also going to go up under a president-elect biden f democrats take control of the senate, that essentially gives biden a free pass to get all of his agenda through. david: think of all the climate change regulations. those alone would cost trillions of dollars for businesses. hillary, thank you very much. stocks retreating today as investors grow worried about a possible democrat sweep in tomorrow's two senate races in georgia. oppenheimer warning that stocks could fall 10% if democrats win both runoffs. we have alan knuckman and former fed advisor danielle dimartino booth are here. alan, first to you, we could see from oppenheimer a 10% correction in democrats sweep tomorrow, a lot of investors saying better to take a 2% loss today to eat it if in fact we're wrong about the democrats winning tomorrow. because if they do win, that is a 10% correction? >> we'll have to see. i think that's a little bit negative. optimism wins in my opinion. we've been

an event for senators kelly loeffler and david perdue.weigh deeply into the presidential election. the president's critics accusing him of putting pressure on the georgia secretary of state raffensperger to change the results of the election. the president had an hour-long call with raffensperger on the right-hand side of your screen on saturday which raffensperger recorded. the audio later strategically leaked. here is part of that call. listen here. >> president trump: i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state. tell me, what are we going to do? we won the election and it is not fair to take it away from us like this. >> this morning raffensperger repeating what he has said for weeks, the president's claims of election fraud are not grounded in fact and he also responded to criticism that what the president was asking for may have crossed a legal line. listen here. >> did you consider it a lawful request when the president asked you to find the votes? >> i'm not a lawyer. i know we'll foll

warnock and loefflers.e's -- you want to know whether or not georgia is listening to the country, look at this advanced vote already. three million here in the state of georgia. how does that rate with -- i'm going to try this again. i've been dieing to make sure i can get this to work. three million right now. the presidential race, you were up over four million. everybody is engaged in a big way. not so sure we'll hit the same numbers we saw on november 3. come back here, guys. we'll roll over here to meet martha maccallum, my colleague and friend. nice to see you. >> good to see you. >> bill: you've been in a town a couple days. what is your sense about the folks here in georgia? >> my sense is when you talk to republicans, most of them say that they think there was something the -- there was funny business in the november election. we watched the news conference as it was laid out. point by point by point from the secretary of state's office why they say that that is not true. so you know, one observati

he got the name of kelly loeffler wrong when introducing her at one point.ked about false conspiracy theories that have been debunked by georgia republican officials. and the idea is that coming into election day, where 3 million georgians have already cast the ballot, either by mail or in-person early voting, the idea is that democrats feel they have an advantage coming in, similar to what they had coming into the general election. it is now up to republicans to overcome that advantage on election day, which is what they usually do. but if you have people concerned about how voting is happening in georgia, concerned about the false claims about dominion voting machines, for example, well, the concern that you hear from republicans is that that will depress the turnout and not give them, give republicans, those numbers they need to win on election day here, kasie. >> yeah. it's certainly a difficult message. hey, you should vote for me, even though this election is not fair and your vote will not matter. i mean, it's -- >> reporter: right. >> the cognitive d
