salinas and republican mike mike erickson. erickson found an edge on issue of crime. on our air today, erickson said that combined with open air drug use, voters are just fed up on both sides there. democrats do still have a small pathway to keeping the house. that number needed is 218. the reason that pathway is there it comes down to republicans suffering from candidate quality issues. in montana first congressional district, republican ryan has been subject to ethics investigation. his race against the democrat there has become way more competitive than what the gop like. that race has moved from likely r to lean r. >> harris: three weeks. my goodness. that's barely a good sale. good to see you. thank you. senator tom cotton, republican, is here with me down the stretch. first of all, what do you make of these latest power ranking, shifting over to the gop? just slightly but it's happening. what's going on in your estimation? >> it's not surprising that more americans are reputeuating joe biden. inflation continues to run very high. stock market has fallen over the

these congressional nation we're watching that with mike erickson here and a lot of these districts areogressive candidates. that might be the flavor for the political vote in oregon or maybe people are starting to see what is happening in portland can't continue and oregon four as it stretches to the west coast. a few of them. i could spend an hour here and show you two dozen more races. all of these races in many ways are considered toss-ups or if they are leaning democrat some of the pollsters now are starting to push them or pull them into the center lane. we'll watch that 15 days out. more with you. >> dana: let's bring in rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. you've been around the country. is there a moment you felt this is going to republicans' way right now? >> yeah, i've been everywhere, georgia, north carolina, pennsylvania, just in nevada and colorado. listen, i feel it everywhere, dana. the momentum is on our side. our volunteers are fired up and seeing it in early voting as well. i had an event with oz where i felt he talked about fentanyl and a mom raised the picture of her daug

in oregon, in particular, watching the 6th district there, mike erickson is going up against andrea salinas, and this is another race that is becoming more and more about inflation. they are dealing with crime and inflation that state, two of the top issues for voters. i'm going to take you through a couple of the other races we are watching, in particular in iowa, another close house race and the latest power rankings did reveal that this first house district in iowa has gone from likely republican to lean republican. so we are certainly watching that. and also in the state of montana, this is another one, montana's first house district has gone from likely republican to lean republican. so, these are some of the closest house races that we are watching just a couple weeks out from election day. when asked voters if they are extremely or very concerned about inflation and higher prices, it is still top of the list, 89% say that's what it's about for them. crime is up there, 79% say that is their top issue. political divisions, the russia-ukraine situation, those are up there as well. what
