now you have mark kelly and kerstin cinema apparently at the helm here from arizona. >> kelly joining a group of former elite astronauts who have served in congress, of course, arguably the most notable being john glenn who served ohio for i believe the better part of 25 years, glenn the first american to orbit the earth. i want to go back to you, mr. kornacki, and ask you a question that a lot of folks at home are probably asking right now. we can call this race for mark kelly, but we cannot call this race in arizona for joe biden. why would that be? >> put them side by side here, here is biden and trump in the presidential race, the gap there 43,000 votes, 1.4%. take a look at the senate race, a little wider, 51.7 to 48.3, 103,000 votes, 3.4. trump and mcsally both running from behind here, but mcsally was running from further behind. so that latest patbatch of vote that we were talking about was bad news for trump was devastating news for mcsally. she's running farther behind than trump. she needed that to maintain any viability here in terms of being able to win this race. >> all

i'm mark kelly and i approve this message. [video clip] the choice is mark kelly will raise taxes on working families. i will put more money in your pocket. kelly will put bureaucrats in front -- in charge of your health care. i will give you doctors with health plans and protect -- protect pre-existing conditions. i am fighting for stronger borders. mark kelly is for the liberals, and i am with you. host: much will the presidential race affect the u.s. senate race? bit.: i think quite a it is a very unique race. i will not exactly answer your question, but just to say it is quite unprecedented for a challenger to wage such a campaignadvocacy-based , whereas in incumbent is very much attacking that challenger, who really doesn't have a political record. in the past within empirical political science, we see that those kind of races backfire. , it worksivity works meaning it is effective among challengers attacking incumbents. out kelly has tried to stay of that and very rarely mentions martha mcsally by name. we saw this in th

you have the astronaut mark kelly against the combat pilot martha mcsally. kelly maintained an edge in the polls. if he were to win, this would billion the first time a the state of the arizona could send two democrats to the senate since 1953. that's about 68 years. and i can tell you, george, again, this is that senate seat that belonged to john mccain. his wife cindy endorsed joe biden, but the voters we spoke with didn't care much about the endorsements. >> two big issues in arizona, covid and its impact on the community. >> reporter: covid impacted on the latino community, and of course we have been talking about this so long, this is a community that has been hit disproportionately hard. some experts say this is a community devastated by covid. george. >> we are now going to hear house speaker nancy pelosi is coming out to speak to the cameras. >> thank you for joining us. i know transportation is always challenging in the time of coronavirus, but thank you for joining us virtually here this evening so i can praise you for retaining our house democrati

presidential race, but there is a senate race going on with martha mcsally and retired astronaut mark kelly. what does that race look like in arizona right now? guest: this is an interesting senate race in a number of ways. the campaign has been really unique. has a much larger

mark kelly, the former astronaut, the husband of former congresswoman gaby giffords, run much like sinema did two years ago. that western, independent, moderate voice. whereas mcsally, she was appointed to fill the senate seat of john mccain after her loss in 2018, essentially giving her a second go at this. but you continued to see her align herself closely with president trump. just last week you saw her take the stage and the president in quite a demeaning way essentially said, martha, you only have one minute. nobody wants to hear this. why? because you saw her numbers below where his numbers were at, and based off of some of these early numbers, it appears that donald trump is outperforming her in the state. there is the chance that tonight not only could arizona pick a democrat for the white house, but also hand its second u.s.

mcsally did not have that luxury and mark kelly was one of the democrats' best recruits. he raised far more money than mcsally, even though she was raising a ton as well. he is a former astronaut. also the husband a gabrielle giffords, which as we remember was shot and nearly killed in 2001 where a number of other people into your son were -- in tucson were killed. it is probably a bittersweet moment for his family. before gifford stauffer that -

she faces mark kelly, who is a democrat. he's a retired nasa astronaut. he's married to former congressman gabrielle giffords, who survived a mass shooting in 2011. and he's done a lot of work in the gun activism role and he's really well known nationally for his work on that issue. he's been leading the race in every single well-ranked poll over the last several months. the race does appear to be tightening. but we'll find out what happens

martha mcsally was not successful in arizona astrodomet mark kelly.

senator mc sally lost the election to retired astronaut mark kelly was later an update set a member of the sergeant-at-arms staff asked the group to break it up because they were not wearing masks. here is senator mc sally saying goodbye on the senate floor. >> my final speech on the senate floor, with a heart of gratitude. serving and fighting for arizona, the opportunity of a lifetime. i had to pinch myself as a middle class veteran became one of 1984 americans in the senate. and in both chambers of congress and the nation was formed. like most americans on my life journey i have overcome adversity. by the grace of god, where is 12-year-old my dad died of a heart attack. i learned at an early age, each day of this life begins. my brother martin passed away. this type of debrief of losing a family member. every moment, every chapter of our lives is a gift. as it has been for most chapters of my life i didn't come here in the traditional or easy way. i think governor doug doocy for the blessing to serve the great state of arizona especially during these times of unprecedented challenge

that they could have national consequences and they said that they hoped that this race not only mark kelly's senate race but also electing joe biden could be evidence of the role that they can play in elections going forward here. >> all right. vaughn hilliard, stay with us for a moment. i do want to cross over to steve. steve, we've been talking about georgia throughout the evening because all eyes are now on that metro atlanta area. the nine counties that surround. >> r georgia's capital. that's where we're expecting more nukz to come in. i understand you have some more data for us. >> we just can get some more in in fulton county which is where atlanta is. we just got a big batch of votes in here. again, joe biden winning this county overwhelmingly. you see about 80% now. and in fulton county we think not sure exactly how many ballots are left there. but what that did if you've been

mark kelly trending down. this 4% gap right here, alex, could be tighter because of the way it has been trending in the last several polls. this all said 2020 these are the states to be watching when we're looking at tuesday. this is where the balance of power will be decided. you a lot to watch and a lot of variables. >> i just want to make that point, i know there was a glitch there with hickenlooper. he has very popular name there. that helps out his case. richard thank you for that. voters may decide the election. what issues are key for their vote? that is next. issues are key fo vote that is next th and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health. an herbal stress reliever ashwagandha, that helps you turn the stressed life... into your best life. stress less and live more. with stressballs. it's time you make the rules. so join the 2 million people who have switched to xfinity mobile. you can choose from the latest phone

democrat mark kelly has won arizona and colorado has been called for john hickenlooper. republican the auburn football coach has won alabama he is a republican. 8 seats still have to be decided. democrats are expected to keep control of the house and possibly add more seats. nancy pelosi is hopeful snow am here just to sing the praises of our house democrats not just in terms of numbers. it is not just about the quantity it is about the quality of leadership they provide for our country. >> now, brian, before we get to the results we heard joe biden speak moments ago, we are awaiting possibly trump to speak what would you expect to hear from the president? >> basically the same thing that we have heard from vice president joe biden that is, they are hopeful on the republican side of the ticket. joe biden currently with the lead, at this point, julie, donald trump needs to run the table of the rest of the states to win this. >> yes. what do you think of the numbers so far? we saw arizona flip turn blue tonight any other surprises so far be sides arizona? >> not really. yo

senate -- mark kelly, the astronaut, the husband of former congresswoman gabby giffords who was shot and nearly killed back in 2011. martha mcsally struggled to distance herself from the president late in the campaign stretch. during a debate she would not say three times whether she supported donald trump. mark kelly will fill the seat of the late john mccain, a huge win for democrats trying to flip the senate. >> whit, thank you. >>> in nevada, joe biden extended his lead. the question, is that lead large enough to keep the president at bay? because as we saw, he would need to win pennsylvania and a number of states. let's bring in matt gutman tonight for nevada. what are you looking at? >> reporter: vice president joe biden extended that lead to nearly 2%. that is important. not quite enough at this point, but the counting going in fits and starts. the registrar in clark county said they overstated the missing ballots. the gop is suing clark county over its use of electronic signature machines. they want that halted and every ballot counted by hand. unclear how much longer that is

through them, beginning in arizona where martha mcsally is depefending h seat against democrat mark kelly. whit johnson from phoenix tonight. >> reporter: tonight, in the battleground state of arizona, incumbent republican senator martha mcsally lagging in the polls against democrat mark kelly as she tries to hold onto the seat once held by the late john mccain. mcsally challenged by a booming latino population that tends to vote democratic and her ties to president trump. >> are you proud of your support for president trump? >> i'm proud to be fighting for arizona every single day. >> reporter: mcsally's not alone. maine republican susan collins struggling, as well, after infuriating many with her vote to confirm brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. and facing pressure, being the only republican to vote against the confirmation of amy coney barrett. here in arizona, they've been counting early ballots for two weeks and the secretary of state tells me they plan to release a chunk of those early vote numbers after the polls close. >> big night for the state of arizona and whit, we'll see

i do want to talk about the senate race real quick because we projected mark kelly to take the senate late senator john mccain. he's the former astronaut, married to gabbie giffords, the former congresswoman who, of course, was shot and nearly killed back in 2011. he was going up against the republican, martha mcsally, who struggled towards the end of the campaign, explaining things in her ties to president donald trump, trying to distant herself on some key issues especially when it comes to health care. during a debate, three times she would not say whether she was proud of her support for donald trump, but, again, mark kelly will take that seat that was once occupied by the late john mccain. a huge win for democrats trying to flip the senate, john. >> whit johnson, thanks very much. we are joined by the widow of john mccain, cindy mccain. mrs. mccain, thank you for joining us. tonight i see the big smile on your face. are you confident joe biden is going to win your state? >> yes, i actually am. i just want to say i'm so proud of all of the poll watchers, the election watchers, the

was having a greet with the students and she invited president along by me who was a friend of mark kelly's who actually just won the senate race in arizona extremely recently and. i was just there covering this event and the vice president greeted a bunch of people and then this moment happened that you'll see but it was sort of a very private and special moment that i knew was a very potent and actually about a year ago when it when things started to become clearer i guess less than a year ago in the democratic primary i actually said in alarm a calendar alarm it was like 2 weeks before the election like deploy the biden footage so you know level when a plan comes together when you have something that is meaningful as in greeting this young man's young mentally handicapped man at the event. you don't want to push it out right away that's right and it's so and i think it was so powerful too because it just is so the opposite of the tone of what we're seeing now just briefly you're obviously not a biden fan but you have visited are you not a trump fan but you have visited trump rallies you'

mark kelly, the democrat challenging martha mcsally, the republican.able to call that number up or can somebody tell us what? mainteresting race becausrtha mcsally had been defeated. amy.e you have it right no this is with 72% of the expecteo in. we're looking at a 55% margin for mark kelly over the bupt republican mtha -- incumbent republican martha mc. she and cinem sin cynem fwas rui when john mccain passed away, martha mcs ly waspointed by the governor to fill that seat. she's norunning for her first term, full term and has been safe in a robust challenge from mark kelly, former astronaut. married to gabby giffords,gr former cswoman who was terribly wounded in a shooting incideno congresswoman fm arizona. >> you know, stephanie sy made this point earlier when she mblked about the maricopa s. that's really the key here. 60% of the vote comes out of the fact that joe biden and mark kelly are both getting 54% of the vote out f that county is very very significant. very good si gn forth of them. trump has candidate carried with 52%. it's alsoyr whereen

. >> in arizona with mark kelly defeating republican martha mcsally. >> we need an arizona senator. a senator like john mccain. >> democrats lost numerous seats in the house, many they won two years ago. in iowa, new mexico, and florida. donna shalala and debbie mucarsel-powell. in oklahoma, kendra horn and in south carolina joe cunningham and it wasn't just freshman. house agriculture committee chairman collin peterson of minnesota lost his 15 term seat. democrats could still lose seats in new york, michigan, and california. house republican leader kevin mccarthy celebrated. >> our numbers continue to grow. i think at the end of the day no matter where we end up we will be able to have a very big say or even on the floor. >> last night speaker nancy pelosi downplayed her losses. >> it's not just about the quantity. it's about the quality of leadership. >> there could be quite a blood laugh ahead. in the house the expectation was they would gain seats. in the senate the cycle was supposed to be the opportunity to regain the majority with republicans defending tough seats. so far dem

mark kelly fits the mold of a democrat that can work with both sides.s got his own western independence streak in the west and i think that fits arizona. unlike martha mcsally where she is polling less than donald trump. mark kelly fits the environment. he has worked his tail off. that is why you see it in the polling. he is really going to bring it home and in the process he will turn the rest of the state blue. we are very lucky to have a great ticket with biden and harris on top. >> appreciate your confidence. we have to wait to see if it goes blue. we will all be watching arizona so, so closely. thank you. our coverage continues live around the clock leading up to election day and tune in to cnn tuesday on election night in america. young people in america are poised to be a huge factor in the 2020 presidential election. ahead, my conversation with a youth activist that survived that parkland school shooting in 2018. >> i want us to be better as a country and i think there is a lot of injustice and things that need to be fixed. >> move past difficul

indeed, with mark kelly's victory, this will mark the first time since the 1950 election that democrats controlled both of the senate seats in arizona. when you put it altogether, this was in fact an historic win for democrats. >> thanks so much. let's bring in now erroll lewis. erroll, good morning to you. >> good morning, victor. >> you know, so john bolton wrote in his book that he feared a second trump election, second term, because when he was national security advisor he said that what he witnessed was that his decisions were guided by the re-election process. not norms. with that as the context, you talked about transition. one of the guardrails must be the incentive for president trump to initiate transition next week or this month at all? >> well, the incentive should be that he likes and has a vested interest in keeping this country safe, but even if he wanted to disregard his oath of office, which certainly puts him in charge of the armed forces and our national security, as a practical matter he's got family here just like the rest of us. these are very dangerous times, vict

we saw mark kelly consistently running better than joe biden, stronger than joe biden in arizona. re seeing this in the returns here. double digits for kelly, and again if you look at the presidential race and what's been reported so far, 0.5, 2 points difference there. biden leading, kelly leading by even more. they thought on top of other things they might have a bit of a pad right there. >> this arizona race turning out to be fascinating in lots of different ways. let's bring into the conversation lauri roberts. thank you for making time. arizona is turning out to be a really interesting place to watch tonight. how are you viewing it? what should we know from a national perspective that we might not be able to see from this far-out? >> well, i think if you're markety mcsally you're breaking out the hard liquor about right now. she needed to keep it close in the early vote which is what you're seeing right now. arizona is big early vote state, so roughly 75% of the vote is going to be early vote. and that was going to skew a little bit democratic. but, boy, a 10, 11 point lead th

one last thing nbc news has declare democrat mark kelly the winner in the senate race here and that'shn mccain's old seat blue back to you. >> jane wells. now let's get to seema >> today we have election results pouring in, ongoing stimulus talks and a covid case count surging in parts of the u.s. let's start right there, glen, because you did see significant improvement in your third quarter results compared to second quarter but your thoughts on these lockdowns being re-introduced and what that could mean for the state of travel and your fourth quarter numbers. >> thank you for having me you're absolutely right. september was looking more optimistic we went to a low, down 85% and started coming back up in the third quarter. we're only down about on average 37%. so things looked okay. but then things started going south as those viruses started to increase and as governments started putting in restrictions, the numbers started to go the wrong way. in october we were down 58% and last night i talked about the previous seven days. newly reported room nights was down 70% in certain part

john hickenlooper defeated republican senator cory gardner, and one in arizona, where democrat mark kelly has unseated republican senator martha mcsally. in alabama, trump-backed republican tommy tuberville, the former head coach of the auburn football team, has defeated incumbent democratic senator doug jones. georgia voters cast ballots in two senate races. democrat reverend raphael warnock will head to a runoff special election in january against republican senator kelly loeffler. in georgia's other senate race, incumbent republican david perdue is leading democratic challenger jon ossoff. several senate races remain too close to call. in maine, republican senator susan collins is leading in her bid for reelection. it is maine's first election since the state instituted rank choice voting. in north carolina, republican thom tillis is leading over democratic challenger cal cunningham. republicans won many of the most high-profile races. in kentucky, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell easily defeated democratic challenger amy mcgrath. in iowa, republican senator joni ernst has surviv

former astronaut mark kelly has defeated the incumbent. this was a close race.very interesting to watch this play out. >> this is a big development for a couple of reasons. let me bring in the 3 d image and you'll start to understand why. if you take a look at the bottom of our screen, at this point, you will see it is 48-48. we have four races now. now that we've projected arizona. at this point, it is a tie. 48 democrats, 48 republicans have won their elections. now let's look at arizona itself and why we are able to project a winner in the senate when we still haven't projected a winner in the presidential race. kelly leading 51.7 to 48.3. he's got about a 100,000 vote lead at this moment. he's up about 3.5 points. vice president biden is only leading president trump in the state by about 1.5 points. so there is a bigger spread in the senate race and that's why we are able to project that mark kelly will be the next senator in arizona. >> you've always said he was one of the rock stars for this year. >> we've had this race since election night but we were wai

mark kelly defeating marco mcauley -- to flip. mark kelly defeating martha mcsally in arizona. all of that would indicate it when it comes to fiscal stimulus in the short-term, when it comes to other energy policy and the longer term, the senate is looking a bit more centrist as america and the world wakes up this morning, as the votes are still being counted in the presidential. jonathan: we've use that word patience somebody times. i think we want to understand the process, though. what are we waiting for? what are we looking for in the coming days? kevin: first and foremost, when do we hear from president trump today, and when do we hear from joe biden today? specifically, we saw in the early hours of this morning how they were going to move forward. i have been told by sources on the president's reelection campaign, and i have set it on this program, that the president could leave washington, d.c. to get back out on the post campaign trail. he could visit battleground states. that is something that the campaign has been exploring for quite some time. i would also note that

mark kelly gives the democrats control of both of those senate seats in arizona. that is the first time that democrats have controlled both of those senate seats in arizona since 1950. that election, when it was earnest farland and carl hayden, that's how far back you have to go. that gives the democrats a real shot at getting senate control. if they win those two senate runoffs down in georgia, that will be taking place in january, they do in fact get to 50 feets. and with kamala harris breaking the tie, they get the majority. so those two senate races in georgia, a big deal. >> a huge deal. not since 1950, you have those seats in arizona by a democrat. i wonder if it had been more different if president trump had been more may jous gracious to n family. >>> the biden campaign saying they will pour resources into georgia for those two senate seats. the republican national committee will send more than 600 staffers into state. the secretary of state says if you move here just for the purpose of voting here, you could be going to jail for ten years. this is going t

as you said, mark kelly, a former astronaut, running a centrist platform, often invoking john mccain. lost to kyrsten sinema but was then appointed by governor ducey to the vacancy. she has often used the line that kelly would bring a liberal focus to the state, but his focus has been a centrist. democrats i have spoken to said they really think kelly will give them a boost down ballot as well. he often encourages voters to look down ballot and has a good handle on the issues here in maricopa county and arizona broadly. democrats are feeling positive today. republicans are a little nervous because they think there could have been a bleed of moderate voters toward mark kelly and joe biden statewide. to dealrizona knows how with absentee ballots. they have a lot of them every year. ed will be a part of our coverage starting at 7:00 tonight. this is bloomberg. ♪ mark: i am mark crumpton with bloomberg's first word news. president trump is sounding confident on this election day. during a visit to campaign headquarters in arlington, virginia, the president predicted tremendous results and

and you know i were talking again about arizona mark kelly, a very popular candidate there. democrat and he's up against martha mcsally he at this point in time he leads by 7 points. so those are still in play. we've got right at now as of tonight, you know majority is going to be 51 seats, the democrats at this point have 46 the republicans 47 the balance of powers that night quite decided this hour sending it back to you and all right mickey, thank you for that we'll take a break and that we'll take a break and we'll be right back. bubbles at this price? is this for real? oh, it's real... believe me. i mean this is upexpected. you would say... remarkable? absolutly. a remarkable deal. thanks. i get that all the time. wait... what?! ♪grocrey outlet jingle >>a look at some of the results on the san francisco measures tonight measure g is the one that would allow 16 year olds to vote in local elections and that's still pretty tight 51% say no 49% saying yes and this would just be a san issue proposition jays a parcel tax for the san francisco unified school district. >>and it

mark kelly, democratic win.emocrats haven't had good news to cheer when it comes to control of the senate. but this is good for the democrats to cheer in a state where martha mcsally, the republican leadership thought was the best can't in the state. i want to make a distinction here. remember this number right here. the last time the president was out there, he sort of mocked martha mcsally. he was having a rally in arizona he was like, martha come up here, nobody wants to hear you but come up here i'll give you a minute. 1,497,199. let's shift this over to the presidential race. the president is getting more votes in arizona right now than the incumbent republican senator in arizona. 151,736,814 it's not a huge difference there. but martha mcsally, the republican incumbent senator is under performing the president of the united states. he's losing arizona as well at the moment. this is an impressive win for mark kelly, husband of gabby gifford, who was tragically shot. this is good news for democrats. >> it wa

yes, it hasn't been called, but mark kelly, the democrats' extensive lead will be very difficult for appointed senator martha mcsally to make up and when you have something like that happening just below the presidential race, given today's partisanship, usually the presidential race and the senate seats do align and that alignment would suggest that the democrats would win both >> what about nevada i mean it's a changing state that's going through a lot economically and covid and all the rest what do you see there? >> what's interesting to me is that was much closer than it was expected to be just like a lot of other states, and part of that was president trump did better with hispanics and latinos across the country but especially in florida but i also see evidence of it in nevada as well, something republicans can build on for the future. >> the last thing i want to talk about is pennsylvania and we all know that it's going to take a while to count and know why that is because they set up the rules that way and frankly we know why they did that. clearly the people working for the

>>now as for the senate, the associated press has called democrat mark kelly as the winner of the senate seat in arizona which now gives each party, 48 seats, a tie. the balance of party part power will ultimately come down to georgia because as of tonight the 2 senate races in that state are expected to advance to a runoff election meaning which side takes control the senate will now not be decided until january so the suspense continues there and another uncertainty facing the senate is if kamala harris assumes the role of vice president then the question is who will fill her vacancy eat and there's been a lot of talk about the speculation rumors the decision ultimately will be made by governor newsome. >>it of course will be very consequential for the state kron four's dan kerman talk with political experts on who might be chosen and he joins us live with more dan. >>well catherine the joke is who is not applying for the job apparently everybody involved applying for the job political experts we talked to say what happened in this current election may paint the picture of what that ch

mark kelly, which would give the state two democratic senators for the first time in 70 years. flake represented arizona in the senate until early last year. did you ever imagine that a red state like arizona would suddenly be thick with democratic politicians getting elected? >> jeff flake: not at this stage. i mean, you look in the future and you think, "unless a republican party, you know, transforms a bit, and appeals to a broader electorate, then, you know, we're going to be irrelevant." that's-- that's always been, you know, far in the future. but did i envision it this fast? no. not at all. >> dickerson: so president trump is accelerating the changes in arizona, right? >> flake: definitely. if you run a candidate, a republican candidate statewide, for state mine inspector, for example-- we do have one. ( laughs ) --nobody pays attention to that race, and the republican will win handily. so, it's still a center-right state. but not president trump's style of politics. that just doesn't play well for a lot of independents and a lot of moderate republicans. >> dickerson: it

mark kelly is up. that's the democrat runninma againsha mcsally in the senate race there. we see biden really making somet inroads, and going to come down to i think a tight race there, but i think californians really felt that year, demoat least, that they di not want to be on the sidelines like they felt they might've bitn in 2016 g for results, and i think they say that you know, in recent weeks, conversations have sifted from we'll you vote for biden and reharrison making balance are in. i think a lot of people these days are fatigued and tired of the cas,s and teand are saying at this point i voted, leave me ofalone, which course is a win for these volunteers. >> scott, let's move to the supreme court. it's already weighed in on one aspect of the election because h they sided with trump administration and wisconsin case preventing ballotfrom being counteafter th election day, even if they were postmarks from before the election they. have also taken some other actions. what are you watching? >> i think so far, supreme court has mostly deferred to the states. had they

jesus martinez voted early splitting his ticket voting for mark kelly but also voting for president trumpod, you know. he's not scared of anything. trump does not lie. i'll tell you that much, man. he says that's what i said, i'm going to stick to it whether you like it or not. >> reporter: on the flip side audrianna says -- >> i'm not a big fan of trump. i don't appreciate the language he uses. >> reporter: his response to the pandemic a key issue for her. >> i don't agree with no mask. i don't agree with the funny comments about bleaching and clorox. >> reporter: yet in iowa kristen appreciates the president's stance on law enforcement. >> backing the blue, supporting our military, supporting our law enforcement. >> reporter: strong opinions from voters on both sides of the aisle heading into election day this morning, but, hey, the most important thing is that you vote at all, right, uncle sam? ♪ if you're happy and you're voting clap your hands ♪ >> reporter: an estimated 85% of voters in arizona already cast their ballots prior to today. the state has been counting those ballots for

not here, but when i asked the head, tell me, i decided how to make sure there were in terms of mark kelly is one of the meeting political journalists in australia has been these essentially what you're doing is you're transferring your own political 5 years and you wish into blind act company for these become a sort of college just for the militant groups, which is a shame because he had a very distinguished career, but it was quite breathtaking television and it was lucky and that's are trying to be a propagandist for one side. but if one is a critic or skeptic about some of these issues, that's not our current. and the thing not surprising was that he was presenting at the you and other media workers. it is a propaganda organ. and therefore, there was no problem with also presenting it and turnbull said the company you work for and its friends in politics like trump and others have turned in this issue of physics into an issue of values or identity. that was a powerful exchange. they're obviously feeling much more able to talk about these things and they were obviously when they're in p

and in arizona, former astronaut mark kelly is leading republican senator martha mcsally by more thanhree points. democrats need to gain three seats to become the majority if joe biden wins the white house. >>> meanwhile, in the house republicans are celebrating unexpected gains, and overnight the republican leader in the house said their success raises questions about the results in the presidential race so far. >> how is it possible that someone claimed that joe biden would win and not one republican member of congress lost re-election. but almost 15 democrats did? and you know what's interesting happening, we're watching this go before our very eyes. why is it in these major states that the big cities stopped counting till all the rule votes come in till they know how many more they need? >> mccarthy claimed potential voting irregularities in other races and said lawyers are, quote, rushing there. >>> coming up, putting this presidential election into context. >>> what history can tell us about the days and weeks ahead. that's next. about the days and weeks ahead is next. significa

up a seat in colorado where former governor john hickenlooper won the seat also in arizona where mark kelly won the nomination. and then the gop flipped a seat in alabama where former college football coach tommy tuberville defeated doug jones and in maine incumbent republican susan collins held on to her seat as it south carolina, republican lindsey graham. now those were all seats that democrats thought that they had a legitimate chance to win. meantime speaker nancy pelosi is on track to keep control of the house. well not all propositions passed that's including the ones that poll suggested would pass without a prop for a problem proposition 15 chipped away attacks. protection on commercial properties, lot of folks who are concerned about this now if passed it would have dramatically increase taxes taken in by cities and also by the counties proposition 16 looked at repealing proposition 2 '09 that actually blocked affirmative action at schools and public employees are public construction contracts and then there is proposition 25 calling for the no cash bill for those arrested for a cr

well, you have the arizona senate race that i believe fox news has called for mark kelly over martha mcsally there. i had to turn away so i am not sure if the ap had called it. that would mark the second pickup for democrats to get them to a net one.a but, they have lost alabama have gained colorado and arizona. so that moves them a little bit closer. they still need two more to get to 50/50. and we are also watching north carolina, from what i'm hearing from my republican sources, they are feeling very good about. this is a pretty major departure from, we've talked before about thom tillis there had been trailing pretty substantial heading into the final month. then we had cal cunningham who got into a sexting scandal and admitted to an affair. but really even republicans have -- i've talked to in the final few days they did not think that tillis was going to be able to come back. outperforming the republican there. from a standpoint of the way we expected some of these races to go, both republicans and democrats did. tillis hangs on that would be considered an upset. that means that

that eventually led to him winning the democratic nomination lots to unpack here joining us now is mark kelly author of presidential black america and the president's black agenda reporter editor and senior columnist welcome margaret. good to be back. well your piece is no chaser view of what black america can expect moving forward in your view neo liberalism is a problem for the democratic party that continues to win even when progressive can't it's like bernie sanders rise up with that being said though we just saw a record turnout borne election in america hundreds of millions of voters many of them 1st time voters younger voters and the boat margins for 18 to 29 year old heavily favored by is this evidence that neo liberalism isn't dead even among young voters. but they were voting for the new liberal candidate the democratic party meaning clear that they were going to be. after he left. meaning that there aren't any and there was a conservative. i'm just going to call it propaganda against bernie sanders and against new zealand supporters. to make sure that he could bring it to me sure t
