mike mcdaniel, david's first defense attorney, isn't buying that. >> i think he's a liar. >> you don'ton't think he ever asked anybody to run it. >> he told you he did? >> yes. >> so when he says that the prosecution is lying. >> lying means that you knowingly -- you tell a falsehood. i didn't tell him a lie. i told him what i thought was true. >> reporter: what ever the truth is, now more than four years later, there was a name to that dna. >> do you allow yourself to think, here we are on our way to case closed, finally? >> absolutely. >> we've got a name -- >> sure. >> we've got genetic, forensic evidence. this is the shooter. >> right, that --. >> --this is the killer. >> absolutely. >> reporter: a new suspect in the hot seat. >> if anything else links you to it, you're done. stick a fork in you. >> you see, that would normally worry me. i wasn't there. >> this intense interrogation, where will it lead? >> reporter: by 2005, david camm had been behind bars for more than four years. >> generally, from september through february were my darkest times of the year. >> you know, the tim

republicans, recent nbc polls heid smith in high 30's flood by former clinton official mike and another republican chris mcdanielby trails mike espy by large margin. >> people need help with health care, people need to be able to afford high drugs and keep doors open. >> espy hopes to shock the south as democratic senator doug jones did last year. >> i'm asking to vote democrat from republicans, from independents those who never voted for barack obama. >> if map is turned occupy side down this runoff could determine senate of power, all eyes on senator hyde smith for three weeks. >> my prayer is please don't put me in that position, by the time this race is determined that we will already have that majority. >> undecided voters are polling in double digits here and if they wait until they get to ballot box things could get interested because in this special election ballots will not mark which candidates are democrats and which candidates are republicans. in jackson, mississippi peter doocy fox news. lauren: all right, let's take a look at how futures are shaping off on the job's friday, nice rally for the week

mike espy. president trump held two rallies in her state yesterday. ronna mcdaniel joined us earlier. >> the president's approval is incredibly high in mississippi. he won that state by double digits and he is the best closer in the country and bringing him in and going to both parts of the mississippi tupelo and biloxi will help energize the turnout for cindy hyde-smith today. >> sandra: jonathan is live in mississippi. >> turnout at this polling site has been heavy all morning. a cold day and following the holiday weekend. mike espy the democrat cast his ballot at this church just outside of jackson as a democrat running in a red state. he is no washington liberal. he enjoys strong support by african-american voters, but he will need more than 20% of the

mcdaniel. a state senator. he is way out there. if they nominated him i think mike espy would have won and cindy hyde smith, moderate, former democrat, former state at commissioner. >> if you are a republican and can't win in mississippi you can't win. republicans chose the better course. they won a seat, not by the margin they had hoped. but it is a win. >> the president won by 20 points. >> astonishingly racially divided state. all the democrats, all the white voters are republicans and at 60% almost every election is 60-40 republican and democrat so democrats can feel good that they have outperformed and when we go through the numbers, substantial plaque turnout, a win is a win and the expected outcome occurred and republicans can get on with life.

the key contenders incoming republican, cindy hyde-smith, democrat mike espy, republican challenger chris mcdanielrrior vaughn hillyard has made his way to mississippi. he's in the heart of the cattle country, that is octoc, mississippi. the special election in the wake of the retirement of cochran, what can we expect? any candidate expected to reach that 50% threshold to avoid a runoff, and what are you standing on? >> reporter: good afternoon, chris. we're standing on a bale of hay here in mississippi. a lot of mississippi is very rural-based. a lot of it is very agricultural based. that's what led us to this cattle operation. i'm going to introduce to you in a moment, david magee. he says he's going to be voting for chris mcdaniel who is that kind of insurgent republican. he calls himself the constitutional incumbent cindy hyde-smith who was just appointed to her position back in the spring. and then there's the democrat, mike espy who was the former agriculture secretary under bill clinton and former democratic congressman. wi only the top two on tuesday are going to make it out of it and they

that cochran seat, cindy hyde smith, current senator, 31.5%. 40.6 for mike especially pi, the democrat and republican chris mcdaniel at 16.4%. those races not decided. a dozen and a half or so house races not decided. let's look at a couple quickly before we get to your calls. to the 48th district. the overall look at the house at this hour, just about 5:00 eastern, 222 democrat seats. 19 republican leets. 218 needed for the majority. still a number to be decided. the 48th district in california is dana rohrabacher, and he is trailing in his race to holly ruda, 50.7, and congressman rohrabacher with 49.3. new jersey third, this is a race that may be decided by mail in allots, tom macarthur, 49.%. andy kim is 48.9. we'll tell you about that momentarily. one more in the house side, the utah fourth, this is mia love, the incumbent congresswoman, 48.7, she trails the democrat there, ben mcadams, 51.3. get to your calls and comments. we'll update you where we can can on those races and others as they come in. we're planning to also bring you the briefings from this afternoon. leader pelosi we'll hear from mitch mcconnel

. >> so for months, both mike espy and chris mcdaniel who was a republican opponent before the novembereneral had been asking her for a debate. she repeatedly refused. first she said that she didn't want a debate because -- or she couldn't debate because of her senate schedule. but then when the senate went on recess she said, well, actually she didn't want a debate because she thought mcdaniel's supporters might come and be rude and boo her if it had a live audience. so the day after -- the day after the november 6th election, she apparently spoke with farm bureau and by thursday morning she had put out a press release saying she had agreed to this debate. and when i called the mike espy campaign that morning after the press release. they had not even seen the rules of the debate or seen the terms. they hadn't accepted it but she accepted it immediately. i'm assuming, you know, she must have already talked to them about what those terms would be. but the espy campaign did not even know the terms at the time she accepted. >> derek, talk a little bit about how you're viewing this, hyde-s

thad cochran resigned, was radio he placed by cindy hyde smith, is going up against chris mcdaniel and mikeyou need 50% of the vote or more there to win election night. that's very unlikely to occur. the question is which of these republicans is the top vote getter among republicans? if it is mcdaniel then we could have a senate race in late november, a runoff between espy and mcdaniel that could determine control of the states senate. even in mississippi mcdaniels doesn't poll particularly well. if hyde smith is the republican who advance then chances are that republicans will hold on to that seat. >> you live for moments like this, harry. >> i live for moments. let me tell you how many cans of diet soda that i'm going to have tonight and i'm going to eat so unhealthy my mother will call me up and be very upset with me. >> diet cream soda and i will throw a little espresso in there just for safety. >> thank you, harry. >> polls open in half the country in just minutes. will president trump's closing message work? "new day" is back after a quick break. in... ...to give you the protein you n

mike espy targeting, hoping will come out and vote for him? >> number one, here's a reality check. november 6th, another republican in the race, chris mcdaniel,000 votes. knock out those votes, cindy hyde-smith still had an 8,000 vote edge over mike espy. he needs higher democratic turnout but also needs republicans, more republicans than november 6th to come over, cross-over, vote for him, as well as some chris mcdaniel voters to not show up. when you look at the numbers, over in jones county where chris mcdaniel is from, own november 6th, each of the candidates got a third of the vote. if you look at that tomorrow night, the question is are those chris mcdaniel voters, that third, are they going to cindy hyde-smith, does she win the county 2-1, or does espy have a shot at higher black democratic turnout and comes neck in neck in that county. it is one of the counties we're going to be looking at tomorrow night. >> democrats hope this will be alabama. they hope cindy hyde-smith will be roy moore. roy moore had serious allegations. >> look, this is what i'll say about my beloved party. if they hoped this was going to be alabama, they should

mike espy can win in mississippi. >> tell me how. >> in a general election with 944,000 people who voted in the general election for espy, cindy hyde-smith and mcdanielird-party candidate. if mike espy get anywhere from 450,000, 500,000 votes, he can win. african-american turnout. 40% of all mississippi voters. that means a black turnout is around 90%, 95%. if he gets 25% of the white vote, he can do it. >> it did work in alabama for doug jones. >> barely. because of roy moore. >> because of the character that roy moore was, which was highly distasteful and the fact that black voters did go out and support doug jones. but doug jones had a lot of voter support. >> yes, absolutely. >> we're talking frankly today, you and me. can mike espy get enough of the white vote in mississippi or is mississippi not geared up to vote for a black senate candidate? is white mississippi not geared up? >> first of all, mike espy can. is it going to be hard? yes. which is why and what he has been doing. what he has been doing and going across the state, he has been hammering hyde-smith on health care because of how mississippians are impacted by that. 1.5 million poor p

mike espy got only 34% in this county. you see the tea party vote was 24%. chris mcdaniel. you'd assume most of that would go here. ant to say, again, we're at 17%. could come in -- could be mostly from a democratic precinct. he's running close so far. in five minutes, two hours, it could be very different. we'll watch it throughout the night. republicans think, anderson, they think they will win this race by 6, 7, 8 points. but they're nervous, that's why the president went in there twice last night. >> john king, thanks. we'll check in with you shortly. >>> david what are you looking for in terms of the results as they come in? >> john was saying about if the african-american turnout could be supercharged in a way, that would be one thing that could keep espy in the fight here. so that's one place i'm looking for. those heavy predominant african-american portions of the state. because what we saw in the midterms, what we saw quite frankly throughout 2017 and '18, is this ability for turnout, especially on the democratic side in some of these contests, to be supercharged. if that can happen here, elsepy has a chan

a low polling democrat, toby pbartee and mike espey plus another conservative in the case, chris mcdaniels taking away support from hyde-smith as she tries to get past 50%. >> mississippi is wanting to see the wall built, that's the biggest issue, we want to see illegal immigration stopped. we want to see the caravan stopped on the southern border. >> and mcdaniel is also trying to remind voters that hyde-smith used to be a democrat. we asked hyde-smith about that, her registration as a democratic lawmaker 10 years ago. she said people she served with will tell you she was never too liberal. >> shepard: and mike espey what does the polling look like? >> the polling shows that he's within single digits of hyde-smith. he's trying to basically do what doug joejs did in alabama, last year, stitch together a special kind of coalition in the south like doug jones. >> i'm asking my vote from democrats, republicans, from independent interests, from those who never voted, for barack obama, from the millenials. doing it on the message. i think washington is broken. i think people are really tired o

mike espy, african-american, former cabinet member got 40.something percent of the vote. is her bet that this helps her? >> oh, absolutely. >> the chris mcdaniel>> that vote goes to her, in a head to head race. that is not a mike epcy vote by any stretch of the imagination. so yeah, it is to tell those voters this is a safe harbor to come to, i'm okay, and so that's the problem. just because you put this stuff out here in a campaign atmosphere, these folks think when they get back to washington, that it all go away, it doesn't. for the party, it's a bigger problem, because it sends out the message that we approve of, we agree with, and then it becomes harder when you hear people say, yes, we need to go out and get the black vote, really, how do you start that conversation. what words do you use when their words are the ones that are ringing in the ears of those voters. >> i would caution people about what we might expect at the two rallies tonight. because that rhetoric could be more than dog whistles, we'll wait and see how the president of the united states handles a racially charged senate race. thank you both so much. great to see you. >>>

mcdaniel but if it's cindy hyde-smith and espy, who would you vote for? >> i haven't decided yet. and then that republican side is wide open again. >> you're open to mike. i know i'll be ridiculed and thrown under the bus. i'm a proponent of limited government and mike espy would just be in the way for a brief period of time. >> what you hear from a lot of folks here is that the democrat, mike espy, former democratic congressman here, as well as a former agriculture of secretary under the clinton administration, is a respected figure. not only are there chris mcdaniel voters who said they would be willing to vote for him, but also hyde-smith voters. stephanie? >> i have to ask you what did he think about this president and specifically the tariffs? >> cattle industry is doing quite well. china put a tariff on u.s. beef, the industry continues to do well. prices have not dropped. i'll play you a sound bite in terms of what david said about the president and about what he hopes ultimately those trade negotiations with china ultimately get for the u.s. and for him. are you supportive of the president's trade policy? >> i am. his end game is to minimize if

republicans, held on to a seat i guarantee if they would have nominated chris mcdaniel, same guy that tried to take out thad cochran, mike espy could have won. republicans dodged a bullet. >> dana: what do democrats think, they came close in florida, close in georgia, closer in texas and now mississippi, alabama. do democrats have a path to start notching some wins in these southern states? >> well, i think the question is this. do they have the candidates? and what are these folks like? mike espy did so well. he's a centrist moderate democrat. he represented the clinton democrat back when that meant moderate southern democrat back in the first iteration of clintonism. mike espy was that guy. he was someone who didn't frighten suburbanites. he wasn't talking ab medicare of all. only 5% of americans said their number one priority is coverage for everybody. they're thinking about quality of their care. they're thinking about access, cost. democrats have to -- if they want to compete in the south, it's not enough to intensify african-american turnout. you've got to be in a conversation with suburbanites and espy could do th

>> to the right of cindy hyde smith so we knew it would be one of the things and mcdaniel's voters are not going to mikeso is move-on getting in there and grassroots organizations going into mississippi. >> yes, grassroots organizations are all in. we're getting in there. you had some big hitters there, senator harris and senator booker went down there to help energize the base. look, this has the same ingredients as alabama and that was on december 12th last year, off-year election. another one where people did not think it would happen. didn't have a u.s. senator in that state for 25 years so it has the same ingredients as you've mentioned, joy, 38% and more african-americans than any other state and so what mike epsy needs to do iss energize te base from the dnc and clearly to come in and help him as well. but you got to energize the group, you have to go after african-american women, 98% came out in alabama and you have to do that and give them something to come out to vote for. and it is there. the formula is there and the ingredients are there, we just have to energize the base. >> the formula for

. >> mike espy is in a three-way race against republicans cindy hyde-smith and chris mcdaniel.f espy wins the special election, he would become the state's first black senator since reconstruction. whether black voters here can duplicate the role black plays in deep red, alabama, helping to elect a democrat is a long shot. and there's the sometimes daunting task of convincing people that their vote will make a difference in their day-to-day lives. >> people are concerned about their health care. they're concerned about police violence. they're concerned about jobs and economics. >> helping people fulfill a fundamental right. >> you actually voted? >> oh, yes. >> how's that feel? >> good. >> it's one of the oldest, most valued expressions of a democracy. no steady hand required, just a commitment to be heard. ♪ let it shine, let it shine, let it shine ♪ >> reporter: i got to tell you, it's really enthusiastic when you're out with groups of people who are trying to get folks to vote. like this group of people here, craig, mississippi has the highest -- has had the highest turnout

hyde-smith, mcdaniel combined for 84% of the vote, espy and barky combined for 16% of the vote. if mike and win on election days he's going to have to do significantly better than the 16% and i'm not sure that he can do that. >> president trump went down there last night and said, mike espy, how does mike espy fit with mississippi. maybe he was trying to send a signal. >> he might have been trying to send a signal. one of the things that i would point out is just the history of this state where white voters have tanned to make up a majority. they have been stubborn in the ways they have voted. the last time you had a governor win a majority, a gubernatorial candidate win was '82 and presidential race you have to go back to 1956, that's the hill espy has to climb tonight in order to move on. >> do you want to move on? >> the only thing i would say about mississippi is mississippi is still mississippi and when we kind of look at the stats, look, this is just not the type of state that which would expect democrats could do well in given the midterms. democrats did well among voters with a

mike espy. the reality check here is that this is a tall task for him. back on november 6th, there was a second republican in this race, chris mcdaniel, who had 140,000 votes's no longer in the race. but even with those 140,000 votes, cindy hyde-smith still bested mike espy on november 6th by 8,000 votes. but on the ground across the state here, willie, having conversations with individuals on the left, particularly african-american voters, you know, the conversation is that a lot of these individuals particularly up in the delta part grew up under the jim crow laws of the 50s and 60s and in the wake of the lynching of amed till. you talk to young, white voters, jacob told me just the other day he's going to veet for mike espy because he's tired of the stereotypes that have per pai pettat -- perpetuated across the country about his home state. >> vaughn hilliard in jackson, mississippi, thank you. as always, we'll be checking in with you throughout the day. >>> joining us now, former aid to the george w. bush white house and a mississippi native elise jordan. and at the big board, concei conceive -- steve kornacki. steve, we're still talking about the midt

old-fashioned republican and the other is chris mcdaniel, state senator party guy who almost knocked 2014.enator cochran in republican vote split, november 27 runoff with mike espy, form secretary of agriculture. in a runoff with one of the two republicans, the republican on to it.olds if from freak of nature, this democrat picks up one seat on 6 and the senate 50/50 and we have overtime election down in mississippi, and the would have an advantage, that would be very, very, very interesting. skruf scrunch this all together. senate, it ublican may or may not be wider or about the same as it is now. get house, kely to not majority to do a lot with. to me, the last thing i will say up for e open it questions or comments or accusations, is that i think standpoint, it is what happens out in the states that is much bigger deal. think we are look like we're 5ing to see somewhere between and 10 governorship increase for emocrats and some of these are pretty substantial states, like llinois is a republican governorship. gone. republican governorship, probably gone. teetering right on the edge. florida, right on the edge. georgia, right on the edge. all republican g

mcdaniel would be the next roy moore. we feel like we do have a roy moore. >> what happened last night at the debate dween mike espy and hyde-smithas a bit of a thi?.. i heard it was a bit of a thing. >> a source told me with the debate hyde-smith demanded there be no live studio audience there and the no outside press be allowed in and she also -- the candidates were supposed to have note pads. she actually had demanded she had notes thundershowers before. if you saw the debate, you would see her repeatedly looking down at this big, i think it was a binder of notes. the debate last night, she was reading from that binder when asked about the public hanging comment. it sounded like she was going to apologize and she kind of did apologize but then she threw the blame over to mike espy. >> interesting. is that a saying that's commonly used down here. i like you so much that i'd attend a public hanging with you? >> i've talked to probably hundreds of people now and i've not heard a single person here who has ever heard that phrase used, ever. there was a report in the new york times, they talked to a southern linguist who said that

chris mcdaniel is not going to be on the ballot tonight.ng it is only going to be cindy hyde-smith versus the democrat, mikean easily see how cindy hyde-smith is going to win the election. if you look at the collective share of the republican vote onn november 6th, around 58% compared to the collective share of the democratic vote, around 42%. i think cindy hyde-smith wins tonight in pretty healthy margins. >> tucker: to what extent do you think all the talk of this being a close election was hyped from the beginning? >> i think it was hyped, to be honest. i think it was journalists protecting and hoping it was going to be a tight election. i don't think is going to be. maybe i'm wrong but i really honestly think cindy hyde-smith wins by a pretty sizable margin tonight. >> tucker: we haven't covered it much because i kind of agreer with that. we will find out. >> we'll see if we are right, tucker. >> tucker: thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: a somali-american is being investigated for a possible hate crime after he allegedly tried to run over two men who were leaving a synagogue in los angeles. guns take

mike espy. president trump held two rallies in her state yesterday. ronna mcdanielent's approval is incredibly high in mississippi. he won that state by double digits and he is the best closer in the country and bringing him in and going to both parts of the mississippi tupelo and biloxi will help energize the turnout for cindy hyde-smith today. >> sandra: jonathan is live in mississippi. >> turnout at this polling site has been heavy all morning. a cold day and following the holiday weekend. mike espy the democrat cast his ballot at this church just outside of jackson as a democrat running in a red state. he is no washington liberal. he enjoys strong support by african-american voters, but he will need more than 20% of the white vote to win today's runoff. >> i'm proud of what i am and proud of what you are and what he is. but i think that we don't have to dwell on that and go to our tribes. we need to come to a common group and solve these problems. >> yesterday president trump rallied with senator cindy hyde-smith trying to shore up republican support after she m

mcdaniel's head and they know that? are they going to turn around within two weeks time and vote for cindy hyde-smith. >> he was the farther conservingative. cindy hyde-smith being the establishment. >> and mikespy who is an african-american. they can get -- i suspect they can get 90%, 95% of the african-american vote but that's going to have to be a huge turnout because it's probably one-third. could be up to 40% but then they'll still have to win some 20% to 30% of the white vote. now in alabama, remember, african-americans voted for the white candidate, the democrat, doug jones, but here you'll have to have white republicans vote for the black democrat and i think given all that, it might be a tall order. >> so black women specifically voted for -- >> exactly. >> so listen, kasie. we have to be honest about the fact that cindy hyde-smith's comments are not a deal breaker in mississippi. for some they are a dealmaker. we have to acknowledge that. that's very true in mississippi. trump carried this state by 18 points in 2016. we have to be clear about the fact we're coming off midterm elections where you saw ron desantis win in florida after making numerous racist comments. brian kemp after

hyde-smith and mike espy, and tomorrow night donald trump will be appearing here with cindy hyde-smith and to what extent will she be able to turn out republican voters. and lastly, those chris mcdaniel voters, 16% of the electorate voted for chris mcdaniel. a lot of them are unhappy with cindy hyde-smith. a lot of question marks. >> this is where they stepped in to save her from mcdaniel. >>> sources tell us that face look leaders mark zuckerberg and cheryl sandburg are blaming botched communications for the damage. security officer alex stamos joins me later in the hour for one of his first ever television interviews. >>> the ever challenging firefighting and rescue efforts in the northern part of the state where the camp fire has taken the lives of 77 and left nearly a thousand unaccounted for. you're watching msnbc. for. you're watching msnbc. george woke up in pain. but he has plans today. so he took aleve this morning. hey dad. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can't do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long. now introducing aleve back and muscle pain, f

other is chris mcdaniel the state senator tea party guy who almost knocked off senator walk republic in 2014. so the republican vote split and it goes to a november 27th run-off with mike esbye, african american, former secretary of agriculture. so he'll be in a run off with one of the two republicans. the republican will probably hold it but if some freak of nature the democrats pick up eighty one seat on november 6, and the senate is 50/a 350 and we have an overtime election in mississippi, then the republican would have an advantage. so you scrunch all this together chances are pretty good we're going to have a republican senate, it just may or may not be a little bit wider or about the same it is now. democrats likely to get the house but not a majority they can do a lot with, but to me is and this is the last thing i'll say before we open it up for questions or comments or accusations. i think from a policy standpoint it's going to be what happens in the states that's a much bigger deal. i think we'll see between a 5-10 governorship net increase for democrats, and some of these are pretty substantial states. like illinois, is a republican governorship. gone. michi

mississippi two senate races, the appointed senator is cindy hyde-smith and mike espy has advanced to a runoff. the wild card, chris mcdaniel knocked off -- almost pulled off a big upset a couple of cycles ago, not a big cindy hyde-smith fan. might not endorse espy but get espy there. he has a better shot in a runoff if the senate control isn't on the line. so it'll be -- this is going to be an interesting race. the runoff is november 27th. if you can't get enough politics tonight -- >> he would be the first african-american governor -- >> u.s. senator. >> the espy family, a lot of close ties there. the uncalled house races we're still plowing through. on the east coast, we've been waiting on maine too, again we've been looking for, you know, murder she voted, you know, where is the vote but as you can see just 12% in maine so that will be a while. the michigan races uncalled and waiting for clearly missing vote in fred upton's district. still not called in michigan 8. democrat leading there. north carolina 9 is one. less than 2,000 again. there's just a whole bunch of vote that it looks like we won't see tonight. very quic
