and in kentucky mitch mcconnell has defeated democrat amy mcgrath. so it appears, unlike his hands, mitch mcconnell's seat will not be turning blue. if there's one thing we cannot deny about 2020 is that it has sucked balls. also coronavirus has made everything weird. you've got a face mask drawer next to your underwear drawer. your delivery guy throws food at you like a broke ass quarterback and even your creepy aunt doesn't kiss you on the mouth anymore. >> with the coronavirus pandemic making social distancing a must sporting venues have been transformed into polling locations across the country from the k.f.c. center in louisville to philly's union stadium. arenas and stadiums uparen't the only places repurposed. you can cast ballots at the city's tar pits, this texas location allows people to vote without ever leaving their car. in san francisco the neptune society, home to 8500 cremated remains, is now a polling site. >> trevor: people are even voting in crematoriums? probably smells better than a middle school gym, but, man -- >> i think it's

i can't wait to see how much money they set fire to, as they did with amy mcgrath and jamie harrison'swas that, $200 billion that went up in flames? >> harris: that was a lot of cash. >> dagen: money doesn't buy you wins, not if it's in the hands of some democrats. >> harris: murray? >> marie: well, joe biden won georgia earlier this month. so democrats feel like there is a strategy and a play for democrats to win statewide again. i think one of the biggest unknowns here heading into this runoff is what donald trump himself will do. mike pence has been on the campaign trail, but nobody commands republican voters' attention like donald trump. he hasn't shown a willingness to get down there, get to georgia, do these rallies. he hasn't shown a willingness to really weigh in here yet. he's been too focused on his own conspiracy theories about his lost election. for me, that's a big unknown. what president trump will do, and whether republican voters will turn out when he himself is not on the ballot. that's the question. >> harris: so, is that really what you want to see? large president t

lost by 14 points to the republican senator lindsey graham n kentucky, the democratic contender amy mcgrath built up a $90 million war chest and still lost to senator mitch mcconnell by 20 points and the democrat, cal cunningham raised 40 million really more than that and he is projected to lose the senate race in north carolina to thom tillis money ain't all that will we have a winger tonight? we may larry sabato is back larry, tonight do you think or not so much? >> i think it will come within 48 to 72 hours how is that for avoiding your question >> thorough avoidance. >> thank you very much i've had some experience look, right now you'd have to say that biden has several realistic pathways to 270. in fact, he doesn't need the closely contested states on the east coast he could win he's at 253 and needs 17 votes and can get them just from arizona and nevada where he is, in fact, leading we'll see if the leads hold up but that's a simple way to 270 then everything else becomes kind of academic. >> here are the uncalled states. of the group that has not yet called in some cases because they

amy mcgrath in kentucky. jaime harrison in south carolina. the race against susan collins in maine. >> sara gideon. >> sara gideon. >> the money hasn't been effective. >> that's true. and the democrats raised close to half a billion dollars to flip no states other than the ones that were predicted that arizona and colorado flips that we saw. all the rest of the close races this time did not flip. democrats spent a ton of money that was not effective exactly as you say. yes, there will be tons of money that go into georgia but you know what's going to matter more is organization and excitement. and with president trump not on the ballot in january the way he was this time, there might be a depression in republican turnout. and obviously that would help democrats in georgia and this very big infrastructure that stacey abrams and others have built down there. >> all right, appreciate you staying up late for us. thank you so much, beth. >> thanks. >>> the biden-harris ticket ran on a message of unity, but will republicans allow them to govern tha

. >> we just saw amy mcgrath and jaime harrison raise tens of millions of dollars and they mobilizedhey still lost on election night. what did democrats need to do on the ground to win? >> look, there's -- you need all the elements, right? fantastic candidates which we have in warnock and jon ossoff. fantastic surrogates like stacey abrams. you need a competent, strong state party like we have here under chairwoman williams. you need a fully invested senate committee like we do with leader schumer and all the component parts. we have the best black and brown run organizations in the country with the new georgia project, black voters matter, advancing justice and on and on. we have the mobilization power. we have the groups to win. we have been building for years, stephanie. under stacey abrams' leadership in the legislature, republicans never got their super majority in the statehouse. we've been building, registering voters. this has been the project of a decade, and you need all those component parts. that's why i'm so excited we can deliver, not just for georgia and georgians but

amy mcgrath lost a house race in the best year for democrats in several years in 2018.as not the candidate a lot of democrats wanted or liked in that race, and she got really just beaten back here by mitch mcconnell by 21 points. again, not really great strategicy, one might say, by democratic donors. >> let me ask you quickly, i'm not sure if jaime harrison has cash on hand but since you brought up the issue of georgia, that senate race or second one certainly heading to a runoff. could that money move over from south carolina to help somebody like reverend warnoff and his race come january? >> ayman, there's going to be so much money pouring into georgia, our heads are going to spin. with its one runoff, you're going to see piles of money go in. we've seen this in the past in a presidential year, saxby chambliss in 2008 run won in a runoff when barack obama won the white house. when power is at stake, money pours in. you will see that in january. that's that. it will be an extremely, extremely expensive runoff. >> big question for you, what congressional races are you

amy mcgrath raised $82 million and 97% of that money according to open secrets came from out of state. >> she did. saw the numbers moving. i think at some point it was diminishing returns. she raised a lot of that because she was running against mitch mcconnell who angers liberals every time they see him. i think that was giving more to spend against mcconnell than it was for her. she has now lost a house race and a senate race. taste -- in a state like kentucky was always going to be upheld. it is still early on for the senate. i thought it was much more likely that mitch mcconnell was going to be senate minority leader rather than a former senator. we are still tracking these results. it is still too early to extrapolate anything large in the senate right now. >> it is a minute to 10:00 p.m. on the east coast. closing includes montana and iowa. their pollsarc -- are closing. what are you going to be watching for? >> those are two crucial senate races. i mentioned iowa and carolina i thought could be tipping point states. north carolina is very close. closer than we expected. thee ar

we saw a ton of money poured into the race in kentucky with amy mcgrath against mitch mcconnell, a tonf money poured into the race in south carolina with jaime harrison and lindsey graham, a ton of money up in maine in the race against susan collins. is money helpful, especially outside money, all this money that floods in, helpful in these statewide races? >> i think money matters, we know, but money is not the end all, be all. you've got to have a message. and we also know it's hard to unseat an incumbent. it's hard to unseat an incumbent in a red state. the difference in georgia, as we're seeing tonight, is that georgia's not as red as it used to be, and therefore, jon ossoff and reverend raphael warnock have a fighting chance. but money alone, pouring money into georgia isn't going to help them win. the messaging, as we talked about -- you know, they have been called socialists. they have been accused of wanting to defund the police, even though that's not part of their platform. and so, we expect that. reverend warnock already put out an ad saying he expects the attacks to come no

we can now project that he will win that senate race against amy mcgrath, the democrat.n this race. we are looking at it not being that close, and mitch mcconnell will go on to another term. we just don't know whether he will be sent to majority leader or senate minority leader by the end of the process tonight. >> martha: during this process, though, amy mcgrath did manage to put some pressure on mitch mcconnell that he has not felt in prior races, but we see tonight he is a very decisive win in kentucky. he has been at the helm of one of president trump's most fervent errands, which has been loading up federal judges and the federal bench with conservative judges and just put amy coney barrett on the bench as well. so obviously, this allows mitch mcconnell to in one way or another depending on what happens with presidency tonight, to continue in his role as a senator but whether or not he will be in that majority leader spot is a big, big question tonight. >> bret: we should introduce dana perino and juan williams. dana, this is a big win for mitch mcconnell. a lot of

mitch mcconnell has pushed back the challenge from amy mcgrath. right now a pretty healthy lead.warded to donald trump. rachel, forgive me. back to your conversation. >> no, it's good to know. the -- that senate race has been interesting because democrats i think motivated both by enthusiasm for amy mcgrath, but a lot by the -- a lack of enthusiasm for mitch mcconnell and a desire to try to give him a hard time at home. democrats poured a ton of money into that race. in a way that was never really reflected -- there was no parallel on the poll numbers to reflect the amount of money that was spent trying to get amy mcgrath competitive there, but mitch mcconnell will be back in the senate leading the democrat -- leading the republicans, excuse me, in either as brian said in the majority or the minority. now, back to michael steele. michael steele, looking at these texas numbers that we have been reviewing as they start to come in, what are you seeing? >> well, what i'm seeing is something that i think is very interesting to note from the -- from the biden campaign over the last ten

mean you have to see in the squad in court bush was just elected tonight you have the case of amy mcgrath not being able to take on mitch mcconnell when we could have had booker i mean you you we have the last 4 years and the wave of progressive that have gotten elected and hopefully will continue to get elected will really be dictating what the democratic party does you know there was a big internal fight over the rules and the makeup and i was part of that i just think demographics are moving so much in favor of progressive ideas and frankly i think that neo liberals even are going to have to start backing some of these bold ideas because if trump wins there's the alternative is i mean there's no in-between there's no incrementalism that's going to get us out of this one job or hillary clinton side incrementalism is the safe bet that's not going to solve our problems that's not going to get people out of their affections that's not going to get people. free healthcare which they need right now with code that's not tied to their employment that's not going to get people jobs that's not g
