mike braun went after joe donnelly's vote on obamacare.it or stand here in indiana. >> dana: tony, do you think this is a deciding factor for people in indiana? >> what's interesting is how we have decided to reword the entire conversation. joe donnelly was the deciding vote on obama care. he will talk about how proud he was to be the deciding vote to save preexisting conditions. if you caught that word play, you understand what's happening here in indiana. he won't talk about obama care. if he ever talks about deficits and won't talk about obama care, but he has changed it to the preexisting conversation. the entire democratic has because that's where they think they can get the win. it's not that it's bad strategy. it's clear he's not being honest with what his vote was for. >> dana: obamacare, the affordable care act, is more popular now today than it was ever in the past. >> the conversation around preexisting conditions has been there for the entire distense of the affordable air act. i worked in congress in 2010. it was very much par

deliver another historic victory on november 6 when we reelect this great republican team and we make mike braunext senator from the state of indiana. [applause] [cheering] i'm going to have more to say about that in a bit, but mike, we are so grateful to you and your family for stepping up at a time like this and our nation and for the campaign that you wage. we couldn't be more proud. let me begin tonight by bringing greetings from a friend of mine, and a great friend of mike braun's, and a great friend of the people of indiana voted for it overwhelmingly, the president of the united states of america. greetings from president donald trump. isn't he something? [laughter] we've gotten to be very close. good friends. and i will tell you, it's the greatest honor of my life to serve as vice president to serve along the side of the president who gets up every day and fights to keep the promises that he made to the people of indiana and the people of america. [applause] and we are winning. and i got to tell you, just like the governor said, indiana had a lot to do with me being alongside. it really

representatives and we've got to expand the republican majority in the united states senate by electing mike braunthe next senator from the great state of indiana. [applause] now, i know mike. i worked with them back in the general assembly but i got to know him and his wonderful family when i was serving as your governor. mike is a born and bred hoosier, married his high school sweetheart, went to college here, turned down a big shot job on wall street to build a small business in southern indiana. he chants from that small business into a big business, created hundreds of jobs in his hometown. along the way mike took care of his employees, treated unfairly. mike braun actually gave health insurance that covered pre-existing conditions to his employees before washington d.c. ever started talking about it. and, in fact, after the tax cuts were signed into law the end of last year, mike's company expanded health care benefits to their employees and actually did a midyear tax bonus to his employees, putting the people who work for him first. [applause] mike is going to bring that practical experienc

but who is mike braun? mike braun has a $10,000 deductible for the workers at his company for health care. they have to pay $10,000 out of their pocket before they can get their first aspirin. at the same time, he gave himself $18 million. but he also wants to go after your health care. he supports a lawsuit that would take away your coverage for pre-existing conditions. and he has supported a tax cut by mitch mcconnell, $2 trillion in debt, and they are after social security and medicare now. mike is after your health care and your social security and medicare. that's what this election is about. ms. nawaz: next we will hear from mr. braun. mr. braun: thank you for hosting the debate and thank you, hoosiers, for tuning in. i am mike braun, lifelong hoosier, job creator, and political outsider. i'm running for senate because i am fed up with business as usual in d.c. career politicians talk a good game with no action. i moved back to my hometown, creating jobs, starting pay way above the national average. i

although republicans would say he votes with democrats when it counts and he's running against mike braun mike brown is a republican businessman who's tied himself very closely to trump and there are signs that that could hurt him because women in particular in polls have been falling away from trump in their support and particularly here in the suburbs where it really counts for mike braun that maybe in part because of trump's demeanor in part because of the brett kavanaugh supreme court nomination where he made it through despite being accused of sexual harassment and of course as you say one of the big issues here is health care republicans say if they win control of congress again they will try once again to repeal obamacare and that has a lot of families here worried we see. down and talk to one of them this is what they had to say. adam interested brandur healthy successful entrepreneur and they pay more for health insurance each month than for their home currently we are paying about two hundred dollars a month that buys them care but with his stratospheric deductible that means th

i am mike braun, a lifelong hoosier. i'm a job creator and a political outsider. i am running for this because i'm fed up with business as usual in d.c. running for the senate should be something that you do where you bring something to the table. and career politicians say one thing and do another. i moved back to my hometown, took on tough issues like health care. held premiums flat for 10 years. so, when i get there you can count on me to do things. he has run a campaign of negativity because of his record. wrong on the iran deal, wrong on health care, wrong on almost everything, including judge kavanaugh. when you send me there, you can count on i will stand up for hoosier values. and you're going to need to look for local leadership and trying to change the dynamic of a broken system. thank you. anne: thank you. and we start with the supreme court. first, i want to preface, this is from the indiana debate commission, this question. division and animosity in washington and around the country is at the highest level that many people can remember. in fact, some

he didn't surge ahead in our poll but mike braun his republican challenger dropped off. that's a problem for mike braun. but joe donnelly is still sticking to his guns so far. as to whether he's still a no. he said some days ago he'll be a no. i spoke with claire mccaskill a couple days ago, the democrat from missouri. when i talked to mccaskill the other day, she was a hard no. she is not even in play in this matrix, kennedy. kennedy: i wonder what that does to her race. you would think if murkowski and collins go into the yes column it might make it safe for her which could solidify her support with independent to conservative voters in her state. but i guess not, clare. you know best, girl. >> these votes, especially a vote that's so super charged. i have been around capitol hill a long time. senators don't say i better vote this way because it will help me in my reelection. they really do vote their conscience. if claire mccaskill or sue and collins said i -- or susan collins says i can't vote for this guy, that's how they will cast their ballot. joe manchin is the o

senator donnelly and republican challenger mike braun go head to head in their final debate clashing, today, that would take away preexisting condition coverage. >> i took on the health insurance companies ten years ago. regardless what his democratic talking points are, i would never be for any replacement that doesn't cover preexisting conditions. rob: could be a flip for the republicans. the latest politics average poll shows the tight race. jillian: time winding down, midterms six days away and voter motivation is surging. despite candidates, what else is on the candidate getting people to the polls? here to break down the top initiatives nationwide is kristin tate, contributor for the hill and daughter of how the why tax thee? a lot to talk about. let's start in oregon and on the ballot is repealing oregon sanctuary state policies and breakdown what this means, measure 105 on the ballot. it has been a thing to worry state and 1987. law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities. what do you think? >> 28 of oregon's counties voted in favor of trump in 2016 and t

it is pretty close paired mike braun is not a great candidate.ace is infuriating close for republicans, and this is the vote that may decide eight. >> martha: obviously, the voters to watch in the course of this, and when you look at these folks on the bubble, jeff flake and lisa murkowski and susan collins, flake is not running again, murkowski and collins are not up for reelection again, so they have space to work it out with their voters? >> this is a question, fundamentally, of fairness. if you are a democrat, you think kavanaugh should not be confirmed. if you're republican, you think you should be confirmed. the people who are up for grabs are going to settle public opinion on this are people who are independents. as we saw in the harvard harris poll, their attitude is today leading against it, but if there is no corroboration, that i'm strongly 48, 58-30%. the reason that donnelly is in big trouble and has been so for a while, the democrats over the last two or three weeks have spent an enormous amount of money in indiana, and you can see

republican candidate mike braun joins us tonight to talk about the campaign. thanks for being here.t stands right now. >> thank you. i think we could not be in a better position, and i hope the kavanaugh ordeal, i think we see charge that many of these races needed. >> bret: to change your race? >> it'd. measurably. i remember vividly when he declared that he was going to vote against kavanaugh, that was before the fbi investigation, and his second affirmation that he was going to do it, online contributions from small contributors went up four, five times. social media chatter adjustment through the roof. that was clearly a big deal. i think the biggest thing out of all that was the process, a kind of revealed the ugly underbelly to how things are litigated on the other side. i think they drew parallels to the senate race, which joe donnelly's campaign against me has been mostly run by chuck schumer for the outside money. negative attack ads on a business that i grew in my hometown form from a few emploo a national one. three of my four kids run the business, so that's the way they

[applause] ii would encourage us all across the political spectrum to take the same risk. step out of your tribe. do something hard and start a dialogue you might never have started before, and that our current tribal rules simply don't allow. from personal experience, i can attest it is never too late to leave the tribe. to self-styled smash mouth tough guy politicians, bipartisanship has become a mushy word. n't satisfying to people that must always have their way, the way 2-year-old's must always have their way. no offense to 2-year-olds, but

michigan senate candidate john james, missouri senate candidate josh hawley, indiana senate candidate mike braunred mike, we'll start with you and indiana. you are facing the added burden of a libertarian that is drawing -- if they draw 2% of the vote, it is not against joe donnelly, it will be againstot you. i would say to the people of indiana, any vote for the third party candidate is basically a vote for donnelly. >> i think the way that is going to work as we get closer to election time, a lot of people are going to see that vote might not count. i think it is so clear between me and the senator donnelly, he has been in line with chuck schumer from day one, he has a record that is easy to talk about, all the things that need described in other races, hold true here. he takes his marching orders from chuck, and really when you vote for someone like donnelly, you are voting for schumer. the libertarian vote, i think, shares some of the principles of f at we stand for, i think those will come home to roost because they want their vote to count. >> sean: john james, watching you, the first time

joe donnelly is in the lead against republican challenger mike braun.he 7 points is within the margin of error. there seems to be a higher interest with democrats. they seem to be more excited about the mid terms. but president trump did win indiana by 19 points. those voters we polled said they currently approve his job. so some strength there. missouri is a tossup. we have a tie between senator claire mccaskill and josh hawley. they tie at 43% apiece. polls are showing democrats are slightly more excited about the race. let's switch to tennessee and the results we are seeing for season see. the polls are showing marsha blackburn in the lead. the republican in the lead despite the fact democrats according to our polls seem more interested than republicans in the mid terms. you know the fact that tennesseans identify as republicans by a 20-point margin. and. no doubt there is going to be a lot of movement in these races. five big senate races, three that could go in either direction. liz: the president celebrating another strong jobs number. 227,000 job

we have a long tradition of bipartisanship in the state, but again, mike braun has run a great campaign. he came out of a competitive primary, but he has pulled the party together and has support from independents and frankly, support from many democrats who voted again overwhelmingly in 2016 for this president and this team. this is very much the message we are carrying everywhere across the country. is that particularly in the states that voted for the president, voted for our administration, is to say that we have been able to do this much so far, and we think we are just getting started. if we had more partners and greater support in the house and the senate, we really do believe that we have only just begun. anna: i want to ask you about women and where republicans are with women. it's been one of the biggest issues in the campaign cycle this year. some polls have two thirds of women giving the republican party an unfavorable rating, particularly suburban women. how do you explain that? vp pence: i gave up a long time ago trying to explain polls. virtually every poll this time two

in the senate race in indiana joe donnelly up against mike braun.d a pretty easy time, i would say, relatively speaking in a ruby red state of indiana winning the race by six points six years ago. why missouri, why indiana other than the obvious? >> because these are states with massively important senate races where republicans have a very real chance of flipping seats from blue to red. so when you look out west the democrats have their eyes on arizona and nevada. they feel like they have an opportunity to take over some currently republican-held seats. those are very close races as well. the republicans want to blunt any potential impact by picking up races themselves. picking up seats themselves and missouri -- north dakota looks like it is probably over. if you are a republican you knock on wood but the polling shows heidi heitkamp is down by double digits. the next two closest polls that show republicans with a good position beyond north dakota are missouri with claire mccaskill in trouble there against josh hawley the state's attorney general
