i knew businesses would not invest in pennsylvania until pennsylvania invested in its schools. the first thing i did when i got to harrisburg was draw line in the sand on education. over the past three years, we have invested in our schools and reverse the billion dollars in cuts made under the previous administration. cuts to programs like full-day kindergarten and we have already begun to see these investments pay off. today, we have nearly 100,000 students enrolled in full-day kindergarten. we've increased the number of kids able to attend kindergarten by half. our high school graduation rate is more than 86%, making us the national mood leader. we are second in the nation in stem education for preparing our children for jobs for tomorrow. and, we've increased the number of career and technical education students learning industry recognized certificates by nearly 33%, preparing them for the jobs our employers are trying to fill right now. rebuilding our schools is the beginning of rebuilding our economy. it is just the beginning. for three years now, we've been working to c

donald trump won pennsylvania by 44,000 votes.ld make the case the reason donald trump turned pennsylvania from blue for long so red in 2016 is because of the 1th congressional district down here solid trump country. one of the reasons democrat look at is this is 94% white. democrats have an advantage among women and african-americans, among latinos and millennials. if the democrats are competitive in district 94% white, blue collar working class voters in the midterm election year, the republicans are in trouble. i want to show you something. look at this kwhiel waiting for more votes to come in. back to 2016 let's look at the white house races here. this is the house nationally after the 2016 election. keeting holland did this on our staff and the experts at the decision desk said look the districts in america like pennsylvania 18, same demographic, same economy if you will. these districts are quite similar. there is 20. 20. now three within pennsylvania, the lines changed between where we are tonight and the election. set that

not likely to see that in pennsylvania. these are very small categories of votes. >> bigger picture question here. what do you suppose the appetite is of republicans in general in pennsylvania, nationally, to contest this. talking about reviewing legal options. reality is this district no matter what vanishes end of the year and probably going separate ways to run races. what is appetite of the republican party is rick saccone is a little bit short? >> republicans don't want to drag this out. and filing deadline that comes next week, both candidates only have a handful of days to collect petitions to get on the ballot in november. entirely possible they're run and become the favorites in two separate districts that are better suited for them than the current one they've run in and be serving together in the house january of 2019. it's plausible scenario. >> big picture, taking this special election, comparing it to the others we've had here, nationally, there's all the talk, democrats want there to be a wave. republicans sa

i'm a pennsylvania democrat. a proud western pennsylvania democrat. this is the party of my grandfather. he believed in fdr, who taught us all -- he taught us all that people have a right to know that their government walks on their side of the street. what that means is, i'll work on the problems our people face. secure their jobs and pensions, protect their families. and i will work with anyone to do that. we're practical people. we're serious people. and tonight, we celebrate regaining our voice and our vote in the great business of governing this country we love. thank you. >>> the waiting continues. we are waiting for ballots, absentee ballots, to be counted in washington county. remember, 579 votes, that's the lead for the democrat conor lamb right now. there are basically 1,200 absentee ballots in washington county. they're doing two things, one of them takes awhile, one of them is pretty quick. one is a hand count of the ballots. the other one is a scan. it's a very close race, they want to be very thorough. what we're told is there are 40 pre

or stay in western pennsylvania. that's where voters are heading to the polls in this closely watched special election in the state's 18th congressional district. democrat conol lamb unexpectedly edging out his republican opponent rick saccone in a recent monmouth poll. a district that trump run by 20 points back in 2016. some see it as a bellwether perhaps for the upcoming midterm elections. nbc's capitol hill correspondent kacie hunt there in the snow, mount lebanon, pennsylvania, this is where conor lamb voted this morning. what's the mood of voters on the ground? anyone there talking about rex tillerson's firing? >> chilly, shall we say, craig, would be the mood currently on the ground. the snow landing on my eyelashes. this race has clearly been a surprise over the course of the past several months as democrat conor lamb has proven to be a candidate who democrats really have been, you know, surprised by. he is somebody who is setting a different tone i think for the party in what is trump country here in western

democrat conor lamb declaring victory in pennsylvania. lamb performing strongly in the state's 18th congressional district which donald trump won by nearly 20 points. earlier on "new day" lamb told us how he's feeling this morning. >> i was at a lot of polling places yesterday with cars parked outside that had president trump's bummer sticker on them. he's a popular person here. i think what happens when you campaign in real life as much as possible is that those divisions go away. everyone gave me a fair shake. and i know there are people that voted for the president who also voted for me, and i thank them for hearing me out. >> lamb leads by less than 700 votes. it is such a slim margin that cnn will not call this race at the moment, but if the margin stands this improbable upset in a deep red district could spell trouble for republicans in the 2018 midterms. >>> we're bracing for more shakeups at the white house. president trump signaling he could be ready to dismiss more senior officials after abruptly firing secretary of state rex ti

northeast pennsylvania, southwestern pennsylvania suffered frosufferfrom the samet that has occurred long time. it's not been immediate. it's been gradual. pittsburgh has been able to rebuild itself in many ways, but the suburbs, the smaller towns, they have got hit very hard and all the things that can make a difference the republicans talk about the working class people you can't do that without having affordable healthcare. [applause] what they don't get it's about peace of mind my dad just go to sleep at night between jobs staring at the ceiling thinking what in gods name have been if they have a heart attack and have no insurance, will they lose the house, how many people, maybe some of you are a little older even those of you that are younger and raising households where she says what happens if i get breast cancer how are we going to be able to make it if i can't work any longer. it's about peace of mind and dignity. for a young person that wants to go to college in the opportunity it's not just about the terrible thing to waste from the colleges it is much more than that. wha

night for a lot of folks in southwestern pennsylvania and by extension in the news media across the country as this is the barn burner we've been covering all night, a race too close to call. you see the difference there, though. the numbers have been changing throughout the night between lamb and saccone, vying for a special election, a very temporary election to the house of representatives. we say that because the map is being smashed with a hammer and redrawn in the state of pennsylvania for political purposes. our man steve kornacki has been earning his salary tonight at the big board and especially watching this has come down to absentee ballots, it's come down to exhausting the raw vote tonight. we are fortunate that they apparently are diligent bookkeepers in southwestern pennsylvania, steve. >> we'll have one holdout. it may not matter because we just got a big dose of clarity.
