tell me what's happening in montana.ooks like you have a sizable crowd behind you already. >> reporter: good morning, fredricka. the crowd is beginning to pour in. there were hundreds if not perhaps thousands lining up early this morning. this is president trump's fourth trip to big sky country since july. local historians say it is the most visits by a u.s. president ever. harry truman visited three times by comparison in a four-year period. president trump is coming for one reason and one reason only. he views it as a personal match between he and senator john tester. the president has come to montana again and again, trying to nationalize the contest, make this the same as all of the others. jon tester is a democrat, one of the rare ones representing a red state. president trump won montana by some 20 points in 2016, and he is trying to awaken his voters to come out and support the republican candidate. but we caught up with jon tester yesterday as was he campaigning and asked him how he sees the race. let's watch. se

that is a big issue in montana.nd out of private hands, keeping it in a public land use and things. those are key issues, driving issues. taxes as well. but immigration is not as central of an issue but the president clearly trying to rally his base. it's an issue that nationally worked for him, but as jon tester tries to localize this race, president trump tries to nationalize it and whichever one of those arguments win will probably determine who wins on tuesday. >> all right. jeff zeleny, thank you so much from belgrade, montana. check back with you, appreciate it. >> still ahead, the race for governor in florida is getting a lot of attention. that's largely why the president is making his way to florida soon. former republican congressman for the state is now backing the democrat. we'll ask him. ibeen building them fora 115 years,hat's get a ford. if you want a car with driver-assist technology, get a ford. if you want waze and amazon alexa compatibility, get a ford. if you want a car that doesn't have any of th

she was quite popular in montana. i just want to give you a little bit of a sense of what it was like on her opening address of hurt 20 city speaking tour, this was in new york city and carnegie hall and there were about 3000 people in the audience, she talked about how wonderful montana was and how important it was to organize for the vote. the one thing she did not talk about was the war. she refused to even engage in a question of the war. new york tribune reported on her appearance at carnegie hall. the article read her white chiffon dress fluttered in the breeze of her own eloquence. her white satin pumps were small and dainty. she was on her way to the coming-out party of women into the class of real people. i don't even know if she is a pacifist. in her article under the headline first congresswomen in u.s. is good cook and knows how to make own clothes won't commit herself on were question. that's the way it was. people like roosevelt argued that if you look at the war, you have england and france and italy, a

what are you expecting in that race in montana? >> it's a very close race and we have to go back to the brett kavanaugh hearings to understand why this race tightened. i was out with matt rosendale in montana and people were giving him the old attaboy and we're rooting for you. it's the kind of thing his candidacy had been lacking against john tester. that authentic montanan. always overcome his party identification. he's really one of them and i think what kavanaugh did was awaken a complacent conservative electorate and that's why this is closed. the libertarian candidate dropping out after early voting began means that the boost he could have provided had he gotten out a lot earlier may be neutered a little bit. >> interesting, yeah. so over in georgia, do you think that stacy abrams has a shot in that red state? >> yeah, really interesting because i'm always skeptical of georgia showing democrats in the game. the election happens and it's never close as those polls suggested but my republican sources that know how to poll georg

why montana? >> it's a very good case study. i think it's the best case study. it's small enough that we could sort of tell a story that takes place in this microcosm so that people can really wrap their heads around this story. a lot of times -- i mean, we are talking about an issue where people are intentionally trying to hide money and the influence of money. so, it helps to have a microcosm to connect the dots and show how it all works and i'm from there. i think i also thought like a montanan thinks. i went to school learning about the influence of a couple copper barons who ran the state about 100 years ago and i think having that skepticism towards the role of money in politics was an essential thing for me to, you know, good place to come from to understand the issue and to maybe see how the drama was going to develop over that long period of time. >> you know, there's a clip that we want to play out where this is an investigative reporter who has been doing a lot of groundwork in the state you follow in the documentary and literally at a whiteboard expl

allison barber joins us from great falls, montana where votes are still pouring in. >> and helena, montanah rosendale's campaign with their election party. over 700,000 registered voters in montana, 360,000 of those votes have been counted. the secretary of state says right now 50% of votes for rosendale, democrat senator john tester and republican challenger matt rosendale left their election parties not knowing if they won or lost. >> we are almost there, almost there, we just wanted to thank everybody for coming out tonight. looks like a long night. >> we still have folks voting. i look forward to sharing with you tomorrow some very good news but again give it time. >> reporter: and many raised this race seemed to be national versus local race, donald trump visited for rallies four times, he said this race is personal, he can't forget tester's role in derailing the nomination of ryan jackson for va secretary, the president's approval rating around 50%, democrats do not see this as a race between trump and tester, tester campaigned with local political figures like actor jeff bridges, pa

in montana you're not going to get huge numbers of votes. in total, looking at a little over 325,000 votes. the fact this is out there is a big deal for john tester. earlier it looked like this was 100% reporting. this is 67% reporting. missoula is dem country, blue country in montana to the extent it exists. the margin, 28 points now. again, 22,000 votes total in this county. that's a couple thousand votes there that john test kerr pick up based on this marge -- tester can pick up based on this margin. the top line, rosendale, 6,500 votes ahead. if you're tester, where are you going to get votes? missoula has 33% outstanding vote. you're picking up a couple thousands votes there if you're john tester. great falls, this is the fifth-biggest county in the state. not a huge amount of vote or distance, but ten-point margin, you could pick up 1,000 or 2,000 votes there. ga gallatin county, the third largest county in the state, 32%. people have been talking that matt rosendale was on the verge. there's flno question that john tester is in troubl

what we are waiting on is montana and arizona.of these seats at least right now could be turning red. arizona was already red. that could stay red. that is not called yet. montana, if you turn that red which right now it is leaning that way we could potentially end up with 55-45 in the senate. that could be the final numbers, 10 seat majority for the republicans and they build on the slight majority they had. there you have it. a little touchscreen whatever. the time is 26 after the hour. republicans picking up some big wins in the midwest but one race is too close to call. live election coverage continues next. >> donald trump and his powers are still intact. >> it is heartbreaking. an infestation of hatred. it is not a blue wave but a blue war. rob: the media painting a picture of doom and gloom as results came in overnight. carly shimkus here with what is trending from the midterms. ♪ i just got my ancestrydna results: 74% italian. and i found out that i'm from the big toe of that sexy italian boot! calabria. it even shows the

in 2012, the libertarian candidate got 6.6% of the vote in montana.was the difference between -- was more than the difference between the republicans and the democrats so to some extent it did help jon tester win in 2012. so you can see the same playbook again, you don't know who with super pacs and dark money, you don't know who sense the mailer. >> tester says he didn't do it, and breckinridge says, despite a tweet that was sent out by donald trump jr. whose make made it sound like breckinridge was dropping out of the race, breckinridge said that wasn't what happened. he used the word indoors to reporters regarding rosendale over tester but he says he's not dropping out. right? >> he will be on the ballot on tuesday. president trump is going to montana on saturday for his fourth visit for matt rosendale and i'm sure this topic will come up and i'm sure he will explain that if republicans should vote for not rosendale and not the libertarian candidate, and if there is confusion out there than i have no doubt after saturday's rally there will not be.

for what purpose does the gentleman from montana seek recognition? mr. gianforte: unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. gianforte: mr. speaker, i rise today to urge farm bill negotiators to include critical forest management reforms in the new farm bill. i'm encouraged that the new farm bill is forthcoming. but it should include reforms on how we manage our forests. mr. speaker, the campfire in california has tragically claimed the lives of 88 people and hundreds remain missing. it's left more than 13,000 families without homes. last year in montana, more than 1.2 million acres burned, creating dangerous air quality. congress must act now. our communities can't afford to wait any longer. senate democrats should put the health and safety of our communities first and include commonsense forest management reforms in the farm bill. meaningful forest management reforms will reduce severity of fires, improve air quality, boost the health of our forests, and wildlife happen tats.

too early to call in montana. let's take a look at the balance of power in the senate where things stand right now with these projections. 38 democrats. they will be in the senate. 45 republicans in the senate including one pickup. 17 seats right now remain outstanding in the u.s. senate. we're watching those 17 seats. democrats must pick up three republican seats and not lose any more of their own. three republican seats in order to get closer and closer to the majority. it's looking tough for the democrats right there. let's go over to john king and take a closer look because these senate contests are very significant. the house races very significant. two different pictures emerging right now. >> two very different pictures. i was just peeking at florida as you were coming over. 99% now in the senate race. let's look at the governor's race. 99%. the republicans on top in both of them. so your question is when you get to this, let's go back and use the senate race because this is key to the battle for control of

>> i'm tempted to say because it's montana. we might get that today. arizona might be a couple of days. >> if you're watching or listening from montana, please tweet steve kornacki. >> the people are great. it's the election officials in missoula county. i love montana, i drove through it this summer. >> this is what happens. >> election officials only. >> steve, thank you. just a few moments ago, nancy pelosi, she talked to nbc news exclusively on capitol hill. there have been some suggestion that nancy pelosi might not be the next speaker of the house. that is apparently fake news. >> good morning, nancy. >> hi. >> are you confident you're going to be the next speaker of the house? >> yes. >> well, there you heard it. nancy pelosi says she is going to, in fact, be the next speaker of the house. pelosi did talk about investigating the trump administration last night. much of her speech, however, was about delivering on health care promises. >>> a record smashing number of women elected to congress last night. we're going to look at how the pink wave i

more than two-thirds of montana voters have mailed in their ballots. so these rallies certainly drive attention and the president is trying to get any trump supporters who voted for him in 2016 to come out and vote if they have not already done so. as the president tries to nationalize this race, talking about judge kavanaugh, talking about immigration, jon tester and other democrats are trying to localize this race, talking about health care, talking about access to public lands. so we will see which argument wins out. fredericka, watch tuesday night to see if jon tester wins or loses, it will largely depends on the president's strength and it will determine if he has the ability to do something other presidents have not, and that is encourage voters to go to the polls for someone other than themselves. so i a very close race here. the president travels from here to florida and continues campaigning tomorrow and monday, fredericka. >> jeff zeleny, thank you so much. we'll continue to monitor the president's comments. meantime president trump will fini

there are -- there is such a thing in montana as a core democratic area. one glacier county yet to be reported there. we're waiting on that one. we also have cascade, this is just sort of the early vote that's tallied here. a lot more to come. tester should pick up some. also here, no vote here. tester has three counties. the thing we are seeing, and the reason it's tight, and i think this gets into a national trend we've been saying is, these rural areas. we saw this in the south and i think we're seeing this a bit in montana as well, these rural areas that swung so hard to trump. tester is doing better than hillary clinton did in them. but he is not doing as well as he did when he won re-election in 2012. so, that's why he's getting -- he's sort of exceeding in the western part of the state, exceeding the numbers he had when he won re-election. some rural parts in the east, he's not matching those numbers. there's sort of that trade-off, that balancing act we're seeing for republicans. they're getting blown out in a lot of these subiurbs where donald tru

president was ine montana, vesident mike pence was in wisconsin. d former vice president joe biden campaigned for democrats in ohio. former president barack obama hit the trail in geoia and florida friday, leveling harsh criticism against the trump administration, a sign of how high the stakes are in the2018 midterms. >> they promised to take on corruption. instead they have racked up enough indictments to field a football team. >> reporter: democrats need to win 23 seats to control the house of representatives and two .eats to control the sena after 2016 neither pty is taking anything for granted. chris polone, nbc news, new york. >>> today is the final dayf in person absentee voting in fairfax county, and the turnout has been county elections officials say early voting has surpassed levels from the 2012 presidential election. nearly 67,000 voters have already cast their ballots in fairfax county. >>> a 16-story challenge to raise money for the s olympics today. that's what dozens faced in bethesda, including our own meteorologist lauren ricketts.

we still don't know what's going to happen with jon tester in montana. perhaps say something about democrats in republican states or in trump-winning states. so right now republicans have -- they've won control of the senate. so now the question is how big is the margin going to be? let's give -- let's say that the current vote totals hold up and republicans win florida. let's say the current vote totals hold up and republicans win arizona. let's give mississippi special election that's probably going to happen in a runoff. look at that. 54 votes and i'm still not even factoring in what could happen in nevada or montana. i mean, republicans are having a very, very good night in the senate. >> mitch mcconnell is watching right now probably and smiling from ear to ear. because he worked incredibly hard alongside with the president. and that's a storyline that is quite different from the way the president worked or didn't work with the house republican leaders, particularly the current speaker of the house paul ryan. worked very hard to get the right candid

montana is moving along. what is america saying when the democrats take the house, when 35, maybe 40 seats. the ballpark, 35, 38 seats. and republicans pick up three, four, maybe five. >> okay. >> that is a mixed message from a divided country. >> all right. we've had developments in georgia. watching that governors race. the campaign managers came out and gave new information. let's get that. what did they tell us? >> chris, this is not ending soon. that was a declarative statement that stacey abrams' campaign manager made on the stage we hind behind me. this is headed for a runoff. the scenario meaning that neither abrams or brian kemp could take a majority. neither would get the 50 plus 1 they would need to win outright. there's three factors that would leave them to believe this at the late stage of the race. nearly all votes are outstanding, the votes that haven't been counted, they believe to be in democratic strongholds. they believe that absentee ballots, tens of thousands of them, have not yet been c

montana up 44%. that means people sure are interested. your thoughts overall today. >> they are absolutely interested. my home state of colorado as of yesterday we had 1.9 million people who had already turned in their ballot. about 2 million people overall voted in 2014. i think interest is up everywhere. i'm glad that it is. we'll fall somewhere between 2014 and 2016 levels. there's a great deal at stake in this election. >> dana: i know that my mom and sister both voted early in colorado. let me go through these race. you think martha mcsally has the edge here? >> i do. i'm confident about martha mcsally. she's a hero, somebody who served our country. i have a hard time believing that people in arizona think it okay to vote for someone who thinks it's okay to fight for the taliban. mcsally needs you. this country needs you. >> dana: sinema has voted on healthcare. did the republicans get caught flat footed there and not no tpo cussed on that early on? >> the problem with the healthcare system lays at the foot of the democrats. what we

>> yeah, i am a montana rancher and my wife is sitting in the headquarters right now. he never has gotten 50% and he will continue to be close. the one thing we have not talked about is the major realignment on the blue wall states. democrats just took the michigan governorship and wisconsin governorship, and if you look at the results the republicans wanted to put some of the senate seats in play. none of them were in play. if you are donald trump and wake up this morning, you look at 2020 and it looks hard. if he can't solidify some of the suburbs where he did well in 2016 and got slaughtered in 2018. >> is he going to moderate on immigration? i don't see him doing that. that's a lock for his base. he could be looking at an economic downturn. the market gyrations could be unsettling. you want to talk about the economy. >> he wants to go out and talk about the economy in the midwestern states where they don't feel marketedly better. they are saying what are you talking about the stock market? we don't have stock. our lives have gotten better. the blue wall is going to

yesterday in montana, the president was talking about women and he had this to say. >> border securitys also very much a woman's issue. women want security. they want financial security. but they want security. they don't want to see -- you saw the caravans. they don't want that caravan. >> interpret that, tessa. what does that tell you about how the president looks at women and their role in the midterms. >> trump always loves to say that he won the women's vote in 2016. that's not true. he won white women. but he did not win women overall. but he still feels very confident in women support for him and he's tying his signature issue, border security, and saying that that will be a winning issue for women. the polls don't necessarily indicate that ahead of the midterms. as i said, trump did do well with white women in 2016. but overall, women seem to be preferring democrats to take control of congress on tuesday. so he might be in for a bit of a rude awakening depending how the voting shakes out. >> 48 hours to go until we see how it shakes out. thank you both so much. >>> president tr

and montana veterans. neil? neil: ellison thank you very very much. so, on the heels of that good jobs report and the possibility we could see split government, in other words the house switch es hands, democrats control it what does that mean for the markets, split government tends to be a good thing. for example, when ronald regan saw the republicans lose 27 seats in the mid-term elections of 1982 the market went up 3.9%, the very next day it was up 18% six months later 20% a year later in 2006 when george bush had to deal with the democratic house and the senate, the market was up about 9%, six months later about 7% a year later so that's just the market now whether that translates into the economy is anyone's guess let's get the read from fox business network susan li and joan as max ferris. and to you on that, what do you think split government is good? >> one word, neil, gridlock. that's what we're headed for, which as you made reference to isn't the worst thing, because the market views things as th
