the winner, mary peltola.the first democrat in that seat in decades, and the first native american -- the first alaska native ever. jonathan allen and stewart stevens still with us. john, huge upset in the very red state of alaska. what's your take here? >> well, number one, huge news for the democrats as their second straight special election in a competitive environment, in which they were supposed to be feeling headwinds. where they won. new york 19th district just last week. and now you've got alaska. of course you've got a different voting system now, ranked choice. and another big take away from this is that rank choice voting system really gives voters the ability to reject the candidate that they like the least. and in this case, it was sarah palin. and, so it will be interesting to see whether that system is adopted elsewhere. and again we're gonna see these carrots on the ballot in november for a full term. so we will get another look at the new democrat-palooza palin and make vega. but for the short

>> my winner is mary peltola. she flipped a red seat blue in the state of alaska.vernor and vp or the presidential ticket. she also was the youngest, first woman and first native alaskan. my loser thomas webster, a former nypd police officer who has just been sentenced to 10 years for assaulting a capitol hill police officer. >> a lot of people looking at that alaska race trying to figure out if it means something for november or whether alaska is just a different place. okay, hugh, your turn, winner and loser? >> well, the winner tomorrow will be ohio state of course. let's talk about herschel in georgia. he is up in one poll and joe day up in another. we have a couple of democrats on the run who are incumbents. a couple of incumbents no one thought could win are going to win. the loser europe. russia announced the continuation of ban of gas exports from their big russian oil companies, putin plays hard ball. originally two days. now it's extended indefinitely a long cold and expensive dark winter in germany because of putin's hard ball. >> mike: panelists, thanks

. >> and peltola didn't go after palin, they became friends when they were both pregnant. >> right.n't go after her specifically 37. >> no, and you know this was a special elections. democrats have fared fairly well in these special elections. we're going to see palin go up against her again in the general election, this was just to take that seat until january. >> the ceiling for maga candidates is real. palin was the first choice of so many but not the second or third choice that is what allowed the democrats to sneak into this seat. >> it seems the supreme court's decision to overturn roe has really dramatically altered the political dynamics here, how much of an issue will that be in the midterms? >> i think it's the number one reason we have seen these midterms turn on a dime in the space of a month or two, this is not the midterm election that either democrats or republicans thought we were going to see and there are a couple of reasons for that, but the number one reason is the mobilization of people who support access to abortion, and especially women to register to vote, to

congresswoman peltola, who defeated sarah palin last night, said she does think abortion rights is the viewing this, given they're fighting over who is supporting whom. what do they do going forward if they are going to have this red wave that they've been touting for november? >> the first thing is scrubbing their websites. i think that more than any polling is telling. they're saying hey, look, we have to walk away from this. it's a very traditional general election move. the sarah palin race, it's important to know this was a ranked choice voting race. so it gave voters the opportunity to say hey, i don't really like sarah palin, i want to rank her third, a of the democrat. so a lot of people did that. so there's a lot of these unusual scenarios too that are affecting things. and i think there's a really important thing that i wrote about yesterday, is that we have seen a lot of polling errors in recent years. even in 2018 when democrats did well, a lot of the senate race polling overestimated how well democrats were going to do. that also is sort of the shadow that is lingering. >>

peltola's win flips the seat held by don young, and she will become the first alaskan native in congressal nominee in 2008 and in 2009 resigned midway through her lone term in the governor's office. despite today's setback, she'll get another chance at the house race in a separate election in november. >>> a quick reminder before we go, join cnn for special coverage of president biden's prime-time speech, as he delivers remarks from independence national historic park on the continued battle, he says, for the soul of the nations. the news couldn'ts. let's hand it over to victor let's hand it over to victor blackwell and "cnn tonight". -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> down to the wire, right before the deadline at 8:00 p.m. eastern, the trump team filed its response to the justice department's block b

mary peltola, beating sarah palin and turning a republican house seat blew. her history making when. not a lot of time to rest that with another election just around the corner. the president, the, getting ready to hit the road for midterms after an anti-maga speech that still has people on both sides talking. >> he basically condemned all republicans who supported donald trump in the last election. that's over 70 million people. >> it was about a specific, particular, extreme, extreme part of the party that has taken over. and here's the thing. it is up to us in this moment to make sure that we are protecting the values of this country. >> former president trump, meanwhile, holding his first rally since the search of his home. it was about what you would expect. >> the fbi and the justice department have become vicious monsters, controlled by radical left scoundrels, lawyers and the media to tell them what to do.

. >> mary peltola has won that election. just shocking.or someone who rose to fame as the republican party as first big attack dog against barack obama. >> senator obama has an ideological commitment to higher taxes. i guess a smalltown mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities. barack obama's friends from chicago. turns out one of his earliest supporters is a man who was a domestic terrorist. >> palin was clearly a precursor to donald trump. reality show style figure who is served up the obama attacks, the trolling, the transagreesive cruelty. while palin lost to obama, he was mostly pitching hope and unity, appearing from everyone from conservative pastor rick warren to hitting the campaign trail with artist jay-j. >> you going to be able to vote one day. right, this young lady right here is a perfect example of why we have to vote. i need to vote november 4th. if you need more information go to mi.barack obama.com. rosa parks sat so martin luther king could walk. martin luther king walked
