you know patty murray, and i think people who know patty murray and love patty murray in this state,ally love senator patty murray. i mean she's been here forever. like you said. she's gotten bills passed. she's gotten budges approved. she's ended gridlocks. passed a lot of laws. people know her and they like her but the problem is that could be the problem to people who love her, because i think there is this sense of complacency for some voters here in washington state, that she has been here for so long that she has survived so many elections, that she seems almost inevitable, so the same energy level that you feel with her campaign is much different than smiley's campaign, who is a person that is, excuse me, who is a person that has had a lot of energy, barn storming the state. the same age that murray was, the same you know, time she ran for office, in 1992, 41 years old, with a lot of the same sort of changing things messages, and so she's able to talk a lot about some of the same republican talking points and point to murray as this political insider. so i spoke to independent

we out fundraiseed patty murray.e're going to continue to share a winning message across the airwaves and match that with meeting people on the ground. i've been already in about 20 different cities over the last week. i will hit about 20 more all over washington state. we have a bus that we're taking all over this great state connecting with voters on the ground and sharing the message. the energy and enthusiasm is real. hundreds of people are coming to our events. they're ready for change and common sense. i say we are more alike than we're different. it is time for unity. these aren't democrat or republican issues. this is about the future of our children in this country. senator murray continues to lie and use the same old democrat playbook that people are sick and tired of. they're ready for results. patty murray based her policy off intention. we need to base policy off of results. washington state -- i'll shake it up. this isn't just about washington state but about the united states of america the shiny beaco

patty murray was first elected to the senate in 1992. she is now seeking her sixth term.ded washington state university. she got her start in politics, serving on the shoreline school board, and was elected to the washington state senate in 1988, before being elected to the u.s senate. -- elected to the u.s. senate. her opponent, tiffany smiley, is a first-time candidate but has experience pushing legislation in the nation's capital. as a veterans advocate, in 2018, smiley championed funding for caregivers of wounded veterans, supported also by senator murray, and they praised each other at the time. smiley is a graduate of pasco high school. she went to whitworth university, and she earned a degree in nursing. and thank you both for joining us tonight. also joining us in studio tonight, members of local non-partisan organizations. they and kiro 7 viewers submitted questions over the last week, and kiro 7 chose them. now, this is not a debate, this is a town hall, where voters will be asking the questions, but there are still established rules, which both campaigns were g

senator patty murray continues dangerous rhetoric that continues to divide us. tucker: no one ever mentions that, it is the first thing you mention, tiffany smiley, if you win on the basis of that it will be so affirming to see. tiffany smiley, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, tucker, i appreciate it. tucker: thinking of a race nobody expected, the arizona governor's race. coming out of the woodwork and kari lake. kari lake will explain more as she prepares for the election day and all that came before right after this. hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. when you have to get wheeled through the airport because you're too heavy to make it and you have extreme pain, you have to make a change. golo enabled me to make that change. golo is real and it changes your life. tucker: republicans didn't know the word inflation, but republicans taught them that. taught them to be upset about that, the democratic party. but according to people talking about inflation, it is real, it's higher than it's been in nearly 40 years. how high is it? and what effec

it's certainly not six more years of patty murray phoning it in.ly gotten 9 bills with her name on it across the line. enough is enough. washington state deserves someone who is going to work for them. >> steve: one of the things about patty murray i remember a number of democrats no back in 2020 was calling for cuts to police departments. if they don't ban chokeholds cut off their cash. if they don't retrain cut off their cash. now, of course, because crime is a big issue, what she is saying is well, we gave billions of dollars in the covid bill. that money was for covid. it wasn't for cops initially. they have completely redirected it. >> exactly. and that's what i held her to account on the town hall because i said well, if you did all of this, why isn't it working? she went on -- yeah, she went on the senate floor june of 2020 and called for gundz to be diverted from our police force. people across washington state and then where did she go? she disappeared and nowhere to be found. this is about america. this is about uniting us. she has used t

she's up against patty murray. she appears in the polls to be up. >> patty murray has served five terms. tiffany smile could change that tomorrow. servjoins us to explain.k you on . i meanwe, this is one of those e haven't been paying a ton of attention, but if you had said o three months ago a republican could win in washington state,dy statewide, that would have seemed impossible. why do you thinkou t this is happening? well, this is happening becausev i've been connecting with voters over the lase tith voters over the lase 18 months and connecting on common ground. you know, i have been n to the largest homeless encampment in the heart of seattle. . o le roo le the roadblocks to getting help and why we are allowing this, why we are allowing individuals to poison themselves in front of our eyes. it's inhumane. it's immoral, and it's wrong. so i went i was helping clean up needles, dirty needles, and do harm reduction. and there was a woman that was there helping as well.d sh and she came across the and she said,

a lot of late money coming in to try to save patty murray in this case. a very strong candidate for republicans out there. no call on that one as of yet. >> in california alex padilla set to win his first full term. >> let's go to oregon where ron has won his fifth term in office >> idaho republican senator has obtained his seat as we look at the balance of power in the senate now. there are fewer seats there. forty-five-44. the majority is 51. the republicans wanted to have the longshot when and don bolduc in new hampshire, but they still have a way, a path to the majority tonight. >> tina co-check is in a tight race. seeing if there can be an upset in oregon. also an independent candidate involved in this. >> we cannot project that gavin newsom will easily win another term just years after he survived a recall. a lot of whispers about his possible ambitions after california governor, but we will see. >> idaho governors race brad little will prevail over democrat stephen hite. i think it is worth discussing the new hampshire higher rates in bringing in s

patty murray, cortez -- >> scott. mitch mcconnell is the one -- >> wait, wait, you talked about barack obama -- >> barack obama talking about i wouldn't hire herschel walker to fly a plane. was he going to hire john fetterman? is he entertaining the conversation? >>fetterman has a record. he's making a point there are celebrity candidates that don't necessarily translate into policy makers and i'm sorry, yes, the reason why democrats have a chance is because there are strong candidates in these states even with inflation and everything that is going on. >> you guys are spending millions of dollars in washington state and you're telling me you got the highest quality candidate out there? tiffany smiley is the super star of this cycle. that's why -- so in terms of candidate quality, come on. some of these democrats, it ain't the 27 yankees. >> i disagree with you but okay. >> one of the candidates not very high quality is this republican candidate for governor in wisconsin mr. michaels. last week he said this. quote, re

. >> washington senator patty murray facing some surprisingly tough opposition this year. polls. that has dwindled a little bit recently against the republican challenger tiffany smiler. >>> and in north carolina, ted budd is on the campaign trail as we speak this hour, getting some help from republican senators. nbc's steve patterson is joining us now from washington state and antonia himmen in north carolina. we'll start with you. a bit of a sleeper race a bit of a sleeper surprise given how usually blue washington is. >> it is still rebliely ocean blue, just as blue as you remember, but i think it is a different shade of blue at this point. there is sort of that national wave, the challenger to senator murray's riding that wave, but this state has not sent a republican senator to the senate in 20 years, and patty murray has been here for 30 years. and so i think there is some worry about complacency from democrats, specifically talking to voters that love patty murray, that support her, and i spoke to a lot of them yesterday they are worried about the fact that she is s

but patty murray is somewhere in danger. on the other hand, chuck grassley in iowa. kind of under the radar, i keep hearing from democrats and republicans who quietly are either overjoyed or concerned about the fact that chuck grassley might get beat in his race in iowa. those two races, i think, would shock a lot of people. longtime senators that people haven't paid much attention to. and then there's the utah race. where people know there's a three-way -- there's this race out there and mcmullen has become the de facto candidate for never-trump republicans and democrats, evan mcmullen now, right on the verge, potentially, of beating mike lee. is mike lee the favorite of that race now? he is, but it's not with -- if you look at all the numbers and what you're hearing out of utah, not inconceivable that mcmullen could pull that out. not inconceivable that mike lee could lose his seat. the last one i'll give you is gretchen whitmer, who ever since dobbs has been seen as a shoo-in in michigan and at times has lead by double digits. finally she finds herself in a very c

what do you think the reality is and why are people looking the way from patty murray, an incumbent democrate in a deep blue state like washington? >> it's close because i've been at it for 18 months, listening to the voters of washington state who are worried about the rising costs of gas, crime, and the education of our children. senator murray doesn't talk about these issues but about out of touch policies that do not work. she's been there for 30 years and has only gotten nine bills ac the line. that's becoming more and more clear to voters across washington state. the momentum is on our side. were more alike than we are different, i share that with the crowds. i have hundreds of people coming to up my events. the people are energized and excited. democrats and independents and swing voters are coming to my event. murray has no hope for the future. we wanted turn crisis into the hope for washington state. a lot of money is being pumped into rescue senator murray so every dollar counts. this is about the united states of america, this election is important. we will win this race, sean, an

patty murray is suddenly very worried. spate kyle just about 30 seconds who is your sleeper?i would pick in new hampshire and the one thing i would point out nationwide about 30 million people of early voters or mail voted already. new hampshire is one of those that does not have early voting. to get a mail ballot you have to have to have a valid excuse. this is a place where don bolick has picked up momentum in the last week or so and it will really matter on election day. spate all right fascinating. the rising prices a top concern for voters ahead of tuesday's election he fed raises interest rates again. rates again. but as political pressure grows with a central bank stay the course and his fight against inflation uhhhh... here, i'll take that.

the real clear politics average has democrat incumbent senator patty murray exactly 3 points ahead ofger, candidate tiffany smiley. her recent gains in the historically blue state potentially could push murray out. tiffany smiley joins us now. fox news reached out to the murray campaign for her to appear as well, we received no response. tiffany, you were a triage nurse. you're a mom of three. what makes you think you can go to washington and be a united states senator against a woman who's been in office for, what, 30 years now? >> 30 years. i was 11 years old when senator murray was first elected, and i would like to a say washington state is better off, but we are not. i have a track record of fighting for the betterment of others, and that's exactly what i will do if washington state elects me as their next senator. my husband was blinded in iraq by a suicide car bomb. i resigned from my nursing job. i had student the loan debt and a car payment, and i had to be a voice for his life, liberty and pursuit of happiness when he didn't have one. scotty made a my miraculous account, bec

. >> -- patty murray. sen.murray: thank you. senator durbin. thank you. senator schumer. as they have noted this week, we will be voting on the respect for marriage act after roe v wade was overturned. i have heard from constituents back home who are concerned and worried about justice thomas's suggestion that their right to marry who they love could be ripped away. so this week the senate will act to protect against far-right attacks on americans fundamental right to marry who they love by ensuring same and interracial marriages are recognized and -- same-sex and interracial marriages are recognized and respected by states. we cannot lose sight of the fact that this extreme right-wing court did not hesitate to take away a woman's right to choose. so this legislation matters. we've got to get it done helping people and solving problems. that is what senate democrats have been focused on this entire congress whether it was passing the american rescue plan, keeping our first responders on the job and helping small businesses keep their doors open and getting shots into arms

. >>> and, steve, in washington state, five term senator patty murray a veteran of the senate could betrouble, a major powerful chair of a committee on health with republicans spending heavily on ads and they think they have a shot at defeating her. what are you hearing when you spoke to senator murray and other voters? >> reporter: yeah, you know, andrea, what i think is so existentially fascinating about this race is that many of murray's own supporters not only feel like she has to battle this republican upstart challenger but she's also essentially boxing shadows she has to battle voter apathy and voter complacency and in many cases her own legacy, somebody that has been around for so long she's considered inevitable for so many voters in the state so the energy level of both campaigns, the level of desperation is vastly different. here you have smiley 41 years old, the same age that murray was when she first ran in 1992 as this, you know, sort of mom figure, the same styling as well coming in and really hammering her on some of those republican talking points and that's kind of th

and she held up fairly well and gave it a good race but patty murray has prevailed. lot of money went into this race late in the game. >> with another call that the fox news diskette enter decision guest firm senator mike lee, he will win convincingly in utah. this was considered to be close at one time, independent, evan mcmullen who is getting supported from the democrats and all kind of democratic money going into that race and this is a win for senator mike lee he returns to the senate. this is obviously a hold. with that in the two race calls where is the balance of power in the senate. 47 - 47, the majority is 51. we started the night at 50/50 with kamala harris vice president breaking the tie in legislation. there we have it six white squares. that's what were waiting on. >> six white squares. we will continue to look for the six white squares after this. ♪ is it possible the only thought that comes to mind is... ♪ finally? this is financial security. and lincoln financial solutions will help you get there. as you plan, protect and retire. ♪ in a recent clinic

patty murray seems comfortable. >> rick, can you show us how patty murray did?uit. tried to steal patty murray's playbook and run as a younger version of her. you're seeing murray do what she nodes to do in seattle and olympia. this is still going to be a blue state. one of the things we're seeing is blue states are holding. there was a big worry about cathy hoke on the other side in new york. you saw democratic stars flocking to save her. people were high on tiffany smiley, but take a look at the borrowing ruling. energized a lot of voters. just to the south in california we had the referendum, which appears to have passed. murray ran on that heavily and it look like it paid off in a bluer part of the country. democrats were worried about that. worried about their base showing up and it seems to have happened tonight. >> mary bruce told us to watch tonight, abortion rights. it appears to be the is character because martha raddatz, tiffany smiley, her story, the story behind her, married her high school sweetheart. he was a veteran who was injured. she quit her

steve: we did ask patty murray to come on she did not accept the invitation but what is the argument does that play right now and how someone like you went? is that one —- are they trying that with you there quick. >> they started to sacrifice for the country. but telling everyone in the audience you believe me and my family are threat to democracy are you disemboweled the dangerous ready to direct that further divides the country in this amazing state when my husband lost his eyesight he was fighting for everyone when i take off with tristan reform i was fighting every democrat and republican and servicemember senator murray doesn't want washington to hear me speaking about in 2018 on the senate floor when she said i was an amazing advocate. i will work with anyone to deliver positive results to the great people of washington state and they know that. and decided voters and saying i am honored to vote for you men are saying this is the first year my wife is not canceling my vote vote for tiffany :-) this is about our country and bringing us all together to move us forward to deliver

kathy hoko has one at the governor's race in new york at patty murray in washington state. she is tipped to when they are not confirmed, but she is doing well. that is the seat that the republicans thought they could steal and the senate and just going back to your, remember we said vermont had this evening enshrined the right to abortion in the constitution. after a vote. michigan has done the same. they have no said the abortion as a right that will be recognized in the state, of course, abortion, very much, one of the key issues for joe biden and the republicans as it and the democrats, as we went into this midterm election. okay, alan, thanks so much and bring his wrap of all the news from the house. that's great. let's not go to google as on days live 1st in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. a couple of big races that we want to talk to you about gabe new hampshire festival. maggie, half an democrats, we breathing a sigh of relief that she managed to keep hold of her seat. yeah, that's right. democrats were a little worried about new hampshire. they were expected to win new ha

for patty murray. going the other way, in oklahoma, the governor, republican governor, one of the most republican states in the nation, the republican is controversial and unpopular. the democrats did something very clever. they got a republican official who has won statewide twice to run against the governor. so i think for independence you might lean republican but not be comfortable with some of the more liberal policies of some democrats, it is reassuring that this is a former republican. she is not likely to go out on a limb. and of course, we have polls narrowing in new york. i do not think lee zeldin is going to pull it off. i think the state is just too democratic, but boy, that base is way closer than any of us thought it would be two months ago. host: let's hear from gary in kentucky, a republican. caller: -- >> we're going to leave this program. right now to maryland where president biden is campaigning for democratic candidates for governor for the

patty murray, senator patty murray, reelected, cnn projects. and then just south of washington, in oregon, cnn projects that incumbent democratic senator ron wyden will defeat a challenge from joe ray perkins. so, that is two democratic seats held on. where does that leave us in the balance of power? obviously, you know 100 seats right now. right now we have democrats with 46 of them -- republicans with 46 of them -- eight seats are remaining. remember, republicans just need to pick up one net democratic seats in order to wrest control of the u.s. senate. right now it is 46 to 46. and john king, big picture. let's look at the big u.s. senator. we have 48 democrats leading, one in a republican seat. that is pennsylvania. 49 republicans are leading. that's one in a democratic seat, that is georgia. >> and so the question, was whether any takeaways from the map? democrats pick up republican seats? republicans, more likely, you would think, at least the beginning of this election, but what we are seeing right now is remarkably low turnover in a 50/

stu: democrat senator patty murray defeated the republican tiffany smiley in the race for washingtonour washington guy jason ranson is with me now. what happened, jason? >> a lot think that and what happen second-degree not enough people vehicle code. voted. it's 43-57 and we have over 647,000 votes we haven't counted yet and yesterday was the deadline to put it in the mail and some haven't even come in and we expect it to tighten and it'll be difficult to catch up but in large part, voters didn't show up and we're looking at some of the red counties in the state and it was a significantly lower turnout than expected and same time, even king county where seattle was located was way too low. some of the positives in yesterday's race is that we expect in washington's eighth congressional district matt matt larkin, we expect that race to tighten and we believe he'll win by a couple of points based on where the numbers are and still haven't been counted in his counties and then of course joe kent in washington's third congressional district and he's going to overcome the democrat as well

meanwhile smiley is in a statistical tie with patty murray in washington. the chief pollster at the trafalgar group joins us. you better be right on tuesday, because if not, they might take it back. polling is a hard thing to do. let's look at the senate. robert, we'll go through real quick, both of you, and we'll start with georgia. robert, who's going to win georgia in the senate? >> herschel. >> sean: matt? >> i think it could be a runoff, but i think walker is the favorite either way. >> okay. let's go to north carolina. ted bud. matt? >> bud. >> what do you think, robert? >> bud. not even close. >> sean: bolduc in new hampshire. robert? >> barely, but bolled. >> what do you think, matt? >> a toss-up right now. i don't have an answer, but bolduc. >> sean: let's look at pennsylvania and os. matt, who's going to win that race? >> well, based on the polling, oz should win, but pennsylvania is a weird place in terms of how they count their ballots and the like. i have to hold my breath and say it's a toss-up. >> sean: wow. robert, what do you think? >> i th

in the state of washington, tiffany smiley, republican, is not a dead heat with patty murray according to trafalgar. michigan governors race, get this, tutor dixon will join us in the moment, she has now taken a lead over gretchen. in arizona, blake masters is in a statistical tie with mark kelly. in arizona, a huge boost for blake mastered, third party candidate just dropped out and he endorsed blake masters for the senate. pulse had victor pulling out six points, in other words that's another six anti-marquel lee points likely to go to blake masters. he is heavily favored for pickup in arizona. more good news in pennsylvania, dr. oz is not following federman's disastrous debate performance. but if you're in pennsylvania have to be careful. democrats are not dumpy tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars in one smear out after another on dr. oz in the last week of the campaign. they're desperate to get that guy in the hoodie, the guy who never worked a day in his life, the truck stomach trust from brat who wants no restrictions on abortion, wants to release convicted murderers an

with smiley for example agency ce senator pattie murray. >> and new york shane patrick maloney having to defend his seat in new york, and campaign styles, democrats have been combining on leftist issues and republicans on issues that affect everyone. regardless of your political party, like joe biden has governed they sounded the alarm about a week ago saidy this need to focus on the economy, but they are not been focused on the issues that voters care about, that is why they have been defending territory. >>> carl you have people talking from all over. you are looking -- karl rove, you are looking at numbers? >> very early, everyone at this point if 4 polls are not closed. there is one interesting state where you can track the vote during the day that is nevada. long time observer of nevada politics this morning is raising alarm bells in clark count in las vegas more than 2/3 of voters democrats are not turning out to degree they can in 2018 and reno, democrats need to win to offset rural counties, the robs rep republicans are turning out, he is forecasting that democrats are in trou

there were people talking about patty murray was in her seat. it is ridiculous. >> do iou money?h? >> you owe me $100 and geraldo $1,000 paid >> there you go. i'm not sure if i will pay him, but there is $100 for you. >> that's fancy. >> let's get over paid >> victory! >> stop. [laughter] >> do think the democrats are saying "we are the most progressive?" country didn't move for a more progressive democratic party. >> they are taking this as a mandate. the way jessica sees it is the way democrats see it, that it is a mandate. this will be the most progressive next two years that we have ever seen. that is great for 2024. what's crazy is that you have one of the most unpopular presidents in the history. you've got incredible problems with inflation, with the economy, with afghanistan. everything about what we've been through in the last two years has been a nightmare. i will tell you what won the selection for the democrats. young people came out and voted. they got paid, they got their student loans paid back. it was a buyout! the other thing is abortion. it was all about abortio

guy: who know some might want some amnesty our senator pattie murray, asked whether regrets her answerard to grant forgiveness and move on, if people won't acknowledge what happened, whowon't ask for forgiveness, we talk about weingarten. i have seen her now, you know in ohio, michigan, criss-crossing the nation campaigning for democrats he did last year for terry mccauliffe in virginia, we know what happened there you are surprised? >> i am shocked. asking to be seen with the bubonic plague. i really don't know anyone who has been more consistently wrong than randi weingarten. on issue of the pandemic amnesty, ha what would be helpful if we look at the things we got wrong and figure out ways to to it right, this is not last pandemic, i was watching tucker. he had ceo of a new company saying they were created to start talking about how do we fix problem in our healthcare system that were exposed during covid, we need it all across the country look at our responses figure out who you we get them wrong and how we do it differently going forward, we don't need a pandemic amnesty, we need

a record number of women we had a record number women again we've got katie, kari lake running patty murrayhassan trying to hang on to power maria: good point. dagen: kellyanne how much does this look to you it sticks in my mind 2016, right you know a matter of weeks before the election then when you were saying pay attention to women, the heads of households people who financial decisions not just narrative out of democrats it is the fact that they have created at every turn this hardship, and that is why bill clinton can say that, but, barack obama can't talk about inflation, joe biden can't talk about inflation, because their policies created these financial problems, and they have no intention of changing course. not the last year, and not after the election. maria: no plan. >> agree completely joe biden is not a in an with a man positive maria's early point dagen he is every minute of 80 nobody looks at him says wow he is 80? could i never tell is to engettics, fights teleprompter, women too start to believe that you created those problems can solve same problems women know this i thin

host: do you think tiffany smiley has a chance against patty murray? : i hope so because patty has been in there for 30 years and she has not done jack. host: joseph is next, the democrat from nashville. tell us about your issues, who you voted for today. caller: thank you so much paid i did vote early, but as you know, national -- nashville has been gerrymandered and it is difficult to see the urban core respond to that with so many districts. so it does not really represent the core of the state. every three dollars spent in the state, one dollar comes from nashville, so it is disheartening to see us split down the lines in nashville. host: what is it like to be a democrat where all of the representatives republicans? caller: jim cooper is retiring and that seat looks like a push out for heidi campbell. i hope she does come out. it is no longer a red tsunami, so i appreciate that comment. i am hoping that we see that come through in tennessee. host: what are the issues that concern you? caller: for the most part, human rights and especially women's ri

the fact patty murray is in a battle for her life is very telling about the current political climatencredible candidate. one to watch. late at night into the early morning. other than oz and all the others tiffany smiley in washington state. >> what are the odds the democrats can hang on to control of the senate? >> look, i think it is challenging for democrats to hang on to the senate because they have so many, you know, david said if they hold on to their four vulnerable seats they'll -- they're fine. well, they are vulnerable seats. hanging on to all four is going to be a challenge. you know, dave mentioned the washington race, now the new hampshire race coming into the picture. i don't know that democrats will lose those races. that would be a stunning development. it does speak to the kind of year we're in, in which the ties don't go to the incumbents but the challenging party. i think that is the concern a lot of democrats have right now >> i was in new hampshire. and sort of mid october. and there was standing room only. he has done 80 town halls, been a very good candidate. m

but patty murray in a tweet in september which got four pinocchios from the washington post said republicans end social security and medicare if they take back the senate. even president obama brought it up, trying to tie that narrative to senator ron johnson. but again, you gave them ammunition where they didn't have any. >> they do it every time. every he election cycle they do the same thing. they say republicans are going to cut medicare and social security. they do it whether you be put out a plan or not. i do believe when you run for office you ought to tell people what you're going to do. i'm a business guy. i raised money when i was running businesses. nobody gave me money and said i don't know how i'm going to spend it, just give me the money. if you want somebody's vote you should tell them what we're going to do do. we need to be he specific, how are we going to preserve medicare and social security. we have to talk about it. what's happening right now, it's going away and nobody wants to talk about it. i mean, medicare is going bankrupt in four years, social security -- dagen: in

patty murray, the mom in tennis shoes turned tenured senator, is seeking her sixth term, while tiffanyley, the former triage nurse turned veterans

also democrats tapped patty murray to serve as senate president pro tem. the job usually goes to the most senior senator of the majority party. she would be third in line to the presidency. she would leap frog 89-year-old dianne feinstein. patrick leahy is retiring. martha? >> martha: with that, we bring in shannon bream. fascinating to watch the shuffle that is going on post election where, you know, it looks like the gop is going to pull out a win in the house. i'm going to show everybody these ridiculously still going on races at the end of our discussion. i want to play this for mitch mcconnell. mcconnell has not spoken to president trump for a very long time. rick scott, who challenged him, had the support of president trump. so we see the two sides really battling it out. here's another sound bite from mitch mcconnell. >> we underperformed among independents and moderates because their impression of many of the people in our party in leadership roles is that they're involved in chaos, negativity, excessive attacks, which is why you all recall i never

. >> democrats pick patty murray to serve today as president pro tem. that position usually goes to the most senior member of the majority party. technically that should be dianne feinstein. she's 89. but feinstein said she would not serve. president pro tem is third in line to the presidency. charles? >> charles: thanks, chad. crypto chaos. a new lawsuit bringing more attention to the ftx meltdown and bringing big names in the mix. nato says the blast in poland wasn't a russian attack but should raise alarms. are they being raised? research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's one that'll really take you back. wow! what'd you get, ryan? it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual!!! what does it do, bud? it customizes our home insurance so we only pay for what we need! and what did you get, mike? i got a bike. ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ flu symptoms hit harder than the common cold. so it takes the right tool

a lot of us thought that new jersey and virginia phenomenon which is why patty murray was thought to be in trouble. instead, we saw a huge wave in florida. we saw what you're talking about new york. it does not seem to have happened consistently. >> i think it's also about what was presented as the threshold. in colorado, how do you say their last name? she got destroyed. [laughter] >> tip your server. >> i wanted to be the best version of myself today. >> so, i think there are lots of states where what happened is a vote moderation. it presented itself differently, based on who was on the ballot. in new york, it looked like they went for -- very in texas look like they went for our bacon project. -- it looks like they went for abbott. i do want to point out a think about education policy. this guy ran on free buddha, and no state assessments. for those who don't know, legalizing pot and eliminating the stock. that was his biggest applause line. as much as abbott and patrick ran, the fact that he got smoked for those two things is very telling about what americans think about policy

and the washington center a,'s got democrat patty murray, facing a republican challenge from patty smiley, that race is also too close to call. looking out some of the governors races, california's governor's race incumbent democratic governor gavin newsom, it's projected to have won that race. he will be reelected as california governor, and idaho governor's race, the incumbent republican is brad little, he's also protected as a winner, he'll be projected to be reelected to that race. and then oregon governor's race, which is very interesting, one it is too early to call between democrat tina kotek, and a republican christine jason. it's worth watching a third party candidate, who may be determinative in that affects, but we shall see. and wisconsin senate, race recapping some of our previous races here, but actually this one is a changing characterization, this one was too early to, call but now it's too close to call, between ron johnson and his democratic how challenger mandela barnes. in the georgia senate race, it is too close to call between herschel walker and raphael warnock, wit

. >> washington which has been a very closely watched race and patty murray will return to washington, d.c. this will be her sixth term. elected back in 1988. tiffany smiley was definitely someone who republicans were excited about. thought that this could be an upset in a part of the country that normally does not see any significant red support and her husband was blinded on duty in iraq and worked hard to rehabilitate. active-duty blind serviceman before that had not happened. might have a future in politics and she held up fairly well and gave it a good race. a lot of money in this race later in the game. >> the fox news is using desk and utah for senator mike lee. he will win convincingly in utah. this was considered to be a close one time, getting support from the democrats. this is a win for senator mike lee returns to the senate. this is obviously a hold. with that in these two race calls, where is our balance of power in the senate? 47-47. the majority is 51 bit we started the night at 50-50 with kamala harris the vice president breaking the tie in legislation. we will contin

it's between democrat patty murray and republican tiffany smiley.tz is our seattle guy, and he's with me now. that's a deep blue state. what would it mean if smiley, the republican, actually pulled off a win? >> it would be huge, right? [laughter] this would signal the direction that washington has been going. it has been so far to the left that voters have decided to say enough is enough. and we've certainly seen that along the west coast, right? when we look at san francisco, for example, getting rid of their school board directors, their d.a., they said you've to gone too far. so to see that happen here in washington state would be significant, and i remember about four months ago youd asked me, hey, there's this person running for senate out in washington, does she have a chance? all of a sudden, the momentum is on her side. two polls came out recently showing her within 2 points. and as you said, in a blue state to get that close suggests this is going to be incredibly tight, and she has a really good shot at winning. stuart: who would have tho

second gentleman, doug emhoff, he's in washington with patty murray who is facing a tougher than expected campaign. joe biden is campaigning with candidates and dallas, texas, a red state -- it really is an unpredictable pattern, but the degree shows the way that headwinds issues like other issues like crime. and biden will be closing out his campaign tomorrow and yet another deeply, state maryland. they feel much better but that compares, race but the president wants to finish strong in place they know they're going to win. >> let me ask you this, as you're talking about the news coming out of the white house and how democrats specifically are feeling ahead of the midterms. we have this new msnbc poll where it looks like democrats have now passed republicans and their enthusiasm for the midterms, i believe with the 40 8:47 split, the numbers we're looking at. what is the reaction that you're hearing there with these numbers? >> that is a critical factor. because, as i've been talking to democrat strategist and white house advisers, that is their number one concern about where that race s

and why are people looking away from patty murray, an incumbentn democrat, 30 years?why >> and why is this race so close in a deep blue state like washington? yes, john , this race is close because i've been at this for 18 months. i've listen to the voters of washington state who are worried about the risingoters oe of gas, crime, inflation costs and our education and the education of our children. so we've been addressing these o issues. senator murray does nourldren.tk about these issues. she talks about out of touchut t policies that do not work. like you mentioned, she's been there for 30 years and it's only gotan nine bills across the the line that is becoming more and more clear to votere. clea all across washington state. the momentum is on our side in l every crowd i share that we arer more alike than we areen different. i have hundreds and hundreds of people coming to my events. i just got hundr offed my bus fn event with hundreds of peopleth there energized. they're excited. democrate peops are coming to my event, independents, swing votersts and, senator mu
