look at west virginia, patrick morrisey, two-point lead against incumbent joe manchin.ob was against the tax cut, obamacare. john james in michigan, now a chance. it's outside, but he was down 20. he's only down six against debbie against debbie step now. if youn look at republican rick scott, he is tired with bill nelson down in florida. governor scott has been great for the state of florida. he will join us tonight along with ron desantis, who is running for governor. meanwhile, republican mike brown in indiana, he is now beginning to build a lead over incumbent democrat joe not only. if you are in indiana, remember, he fought for the libertarian is pretty much a vote for joe donnelly. democrat jon tester, he's feeling he heat in montana. holds a slight lead. even democrat bob menendez in the fight for his life, believe it or not, in new jersey. granted, an outside job, but he's within thehe margin of err.

he's in a tough race as well this november against the state's attorney general patrick morrisey. president trump has been to west virginia seven times in the time that he's been in office. brought a lot of pressure there. it is also notable that manchin and flake are good friends across the aisle. you could almost imagine a scenario where jeff flake decides he's voting no but manchin would be a yes. or you'd have the combination where murkowski could be a no and she's got reasons that have to do with alaska's native american community and judge kavanaugh's record on federal lands and sovereignty as an issue. that's not the thing we talk about typically in national news but in alaska, native american sovereignty, incredibly important. and so there's a dynamic amongst this remaining group that is both political and personal. and we don't yet know if they're sharing their strategy but that is often the case in the final hours where if one person sort of needs to take the lead politically and do something risky, they may do it knowing they have cover from someone else. for example, i

. >> now the threat is patrick morrisey's lawsuit to take away health care from people with pre-existing is just dead wrong and that ain't going to happen. i'm joe manchin and i approve this message because for me it's all about west virginia. >> it's a good ad. >> no debate on it. >> even fox news' own poll shows obamacare or the affordable care act is an all-time high in terms of popularity. 54% of americans approve of obamacare. that is significantly more than approve of donald trump or of the republican party. in addition to that, democrats have a 24-point advantage on this issue. and if you look at certain key states like nevada and florida, you see numbers at 68%, 69% who want the pre-existing conditions protections to remain. >> right and so, bill, building on that when you talk about what's the most important issue, economy is big, taxes is something we've seen some republicans run away from, but look at this. 30% of voters right now, bill, say it's health care, above even economy and jobs which is always a big issue. bill. >> well, people feel health care in a very real way all

he's up significantly over patrick morrisey. that could be thrown into question when you bring in his votes on brett kavanaugh, if he does end up voting no. my question is, where does it stand in terms of these senators? what matters more? is it the allegations -- corroborating the allegations, or is it potentially showing that he was not entirely truthful when he sat there and defended himself in that hearing last thursday? >> that's the question, katy. i guess will the fbi have time to determine whether every statement he made under oath was truthful. my guess at this point is no. i will say i was just over a couple feet on the other side of the capitol in the senate where basically the driving force at the moment, the inertia at the moment is to get a vote done this week, to get this process on the road this week and to wrap it up. they're now on day 17 or 18 of this nomination, even more probably. and they want to kind of get this to its logical conclusion. the question will be, will flaiflai flake, collins, and murkowski ha

thursday, from west virginia a debate between democratic senator manchin and patrick morrisey. live coverage from morgantown begins 7:00 p.m. on c-span and on c-span a debate from new york's 27th congressional district where claudia tenney faces anthony brandisi. c-span is your primary source for campaign 2018. sunday on q&a -- >> seven years ago, the people of the united states set out upon what they thought was a great liberal campaign. sr. along the line we lost the objective. >> two-time pulitzer prize winning author david lewis on wendell will. >> here was a man of civil rights conviction that is would have matched, say, an obama perhaps. here was a man who was a liberal and at the same time accept -- accessible to the role of government in the economy, but at only to a great degree. i thought all the things about him were appealing and his honesty, there is a part in the book where we have roosevelt asking wilkie to consider being his vice president but he's going to overthrow henry wallace and he wants somebody new, typical fdr and wilkie says no. >> sunday night at 8:00

, a great poll shows democratic senator joe manchin leading 52% to 36% over attorney general patrick morriseythe last time they took that poll, manchin was already doing better. i think there's some regret there on the part of the republicans with the candidate they came can up with. manchin's appeal for a democrat is unusual in west virginia because it's the southern part of the state. it's coal country. it's the part that's flipped most to the republicans yet there is strong residual effects in that part of the state. that might be a powerful conversation. in the november 6th so-called jungle primary, republican senator cindy hyde-smith gets 38% of voters. democrats mike espn gets 29% and republican chris mcdaniel gets 5%. with another 15% undecided. top two get into a runoff if that's where they are. >>. >> right. this is head towards a runoff because you basically have two republicans there, hide-smith and mcdaniel and one democrat there, espy. the biggest fear for republicans in this face is chris mcdaniel. one who might potentially put a race like this in a race for republicans. the fea

patrick morrisey is undercutting himself with some issues like his wife's lobbying firm in d.c.a is a disappointment. idisappointment. after we look at the three races, i think republicans are going to pick up three, four, maybe five senate seats on election. maria: you do? >> is it just they don't have the right candidate to take on manshin in west virginia? >> i think you're right. part of the problem is manchin's basically a west virginia tradition. he's been in state-wide office for decades. it's a big hill to climb. maria: we will continue to look at all of the hot races the rest of the week, we'll try to get three in a day. ned, thank you. talking tech, details on new digital tax targeting companies like apple, amazon and facebook, good idea or not. send us a tweet, let us know. a shakeup and twitter, the company considering deleting the like button. back in a minute. comcast business. beyond fast. maria: welcome back. a bit of a shakeup at twitter. cheryl casone with the details. cheryl: here's the story. the ceo, jack dorsey, says twitter could soon get rid of the heart

others could surprise people is west virginia where patrick morrisey is running a very strong race against and indiana brawn against joe donnelly. both of those also competitive. what's going to make a big difference in these states is the president's travel schedule. look where he is going and spending time. like i mentioned last night in montana, i promise you matt rosendale is going to get a big bump out of that. does he go to indiana and west virginia? if he does that's another case he can help bring the candidates across the fin finish line in the end. ed: let's end quickly on the so-called kavanaugh effect. is that real or exaggeration? >> it is real. i'm doing polling in a lot of these races, what i saw immediately following the kavanaugh vote was particularly in states like north dakota, montana missouri, where you had democrats who voted against kavanaugh, even in a state like texas where had you ted cruz who fought and argued for kavanaugh, you saw republican intensity meet or exceed democrat intensity. first time in the 2018 cycle that's occurred. ed: chris wilson, you can certa

morrisey as the next u.s. senator from west virginia if he doesn't vote yes for this. patrickstill will be temporarily senators need to take notice and they need to do the right thing. it'san not about politics. >> sean: predictions? >> he'll be confirmed. >> he will be confirmed. >> sean: okay. i'm hopefully optimistic. i'm irish. don't worry. it's normal. >> oh, you are. >> sean: would make a buck gregg jarrett, carrie severino, we have more on the reaction. what will these republicans do? how will that impact america's future? straight ahead. the closer you get to home, the more you know the commute is worth it. you and that john deere tractor, you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's a longer drive, but just like a john deere, it's worth it. minutes can mean the difference between life and death. proposition 11 saves lives by ensuring medical care is not delayed in an emergency. proposition 11 establishes into law the longstanding industry practice of paying emts and paramedics to remain on-call during breaks and requires they receive fema level training in
