that he has in that race.o-life. it will be a contest of wills there. and my governor's race is a governor of michigan gretchen whitmer running for re-election realism and revival plan. she is pro-choice. she is in a tough race there big money come in against her from the beboss family and former president trump has been there if she wins this race it will be a bright spot for democrats not only the fact that she won but the way she won, talking about economic issues and she could catapult herself into the conversation if indeed president biden does not run in 24 even in 28 when we know he won't run. >> bret: your governor's race was georgia. >> i'm sorry. did i go? >> martha: kemp is up by about five points right now in the latest polling that we are seeing on this race. and stacey abrams is making the argument that black men in georgia have been fed disinformation in this race. so when you boil down, you know, what information is out there. you look is up about 4%. higher inflation rate in georgia than the r

control to -- race neutral alternatives to minimize our consideration of race. in university, our endme on the record was $3 million we have spent well north of $3 llion on -- to try to recruit low income students across the board. the rsgeneration rate control and the second try to expand approval. -- expand the pool. we have an extensive program where half of our transfer students -- >> how do you know when you are justice alito said if you have exact correlation to the number -- of percentage in the population of a particular group and you said you are not done th. so when would ve the endpoint? i appreciate your undertaking all tse efforts but when is the endpoint? >> we do not need to reach that point for us to feel we ha m our diversity goals. what we are doing today we feel we are achieving the educational benefits of diversity. >> is it sufficient? >> i think in that scenario, it might be likely that our qualitative process in consta examination of our campus climate may reach a point we m fl we have reached the educational benefits of diversity. i just

that's a senate race. we called that for young, on the house race here, northwestern part of the state. 20% in. the democrat is leading by 21 points, dana. this is primarily lake county. i remember -- was it 2008? the primary race on the democratic side between barack obama and hillary clinton. i remember working till 2:00 in the morning, waiting for results out of nebraska. what are we doing here? one night indiana had the primary. we had our entire focus on lake county, which is gary, indiana. i don't think they reported that. >> yeah. >> very late. >> thank you for indulging me. >> you got it. >> ben, what are you looking at? >> you know what, i think what we may be seeing here is the summer of love coming home to roost. you remember that comment from the seattle mayor about, you know, the 2020 strife and violence that we saw that, she hoped for it being a summer of love. she's not the mayor anymore, by the way. there was obviously a lot of skepticism about that i think after 2020, saying, you know, thi

the democratic governor is winning this race. a very close race.0 votes, -- >> we just projected. that viewers will win. so you see, senator johnson has the lead here. think about the swing. the democratic governor in a very competitive state, leading by 72,694 votes. that's a democratic governor. and then you come to your republican incumbent senator with a smaller lead but in the league. that tells you a lot of ticket splitting happening across the state of wisconsin tonight. can mandela barnes make up the difference is the question? so you look at the big democratic bases, 77%, so there still a lot of votes to come in in milwaukee, and you see it's a pretty good range there. are there enough votes out to get their? the math gets dicey, but if you look at that and say, you want to see that number up get up to 85? closer to 90%. before you make any calls, just want to check the other big area, democratic here in the state is here, dane county, madison college area. 93% there. some vote still to come in, but a smaller pool of votes there. >> mandel

you are touting them as race neutral but none ofhem are race neutral. you are doing them becse you believe in racial diversit i just do not understand considering race is one factor but not the sole factor is any different than using any of os other matrix. >> i don't think thosere racial classifications in disguise but harvard is never criticized we have a racial classification. it doesn't have the precise numbers. it's based on socioeconomic status rachel think anyone thanks >> note it reduces sat scores, it reduces lots of othera factors. to g your numbers for quick atus our point sat scores will go from the 99t pcentile to the 98th percentile. that is not sacrificing academic exllence moving harvard from harvard to dartmouth. dartmouth is still a great school they get 98th rctile sat scores. >> there are those who love it. [laughter] flicks thank you cou. justice thomas. [laughter] a anything further? justice kagan? >> one question about how to think about the 25 year sentence in the surrounding discussion. >> absolutely. will people forget aboutge

out or fewer people sitting the race out because it is a crucial race.ve talked a lot this midterm cycle about election deniers. in georgia there are election defenders who did very well. brad raffensperger secretary of state, brian kemp or governor, both resisted pressure from president trump to overturn the results of the election. what does the support among voters safety -- say to you about where georgia voters are? >> georgia is tired of election the nihilism. it was one of the states that was ground zero about trump's false claims about the election. it was counted three times in the winter was biden. georgia voters have a low tolerance for that. during the primary, there were several trump backed challengers seeking to defeat republicans defended the election and those candidates lost by a wide margin . you are seeing the results reflective of the ectorate of democrat, and dependent and republican that acknowledge raffensperger and brian kemp stood up to those claims and that is why they are the top vote getters in the election. amna: you saw a lo

in arizona because a prominent libertarian candidate just dropped out of the race, there's a horse race going on there for that senate. we will be talking to that libertarian candidate marc victor later. first to kelly o'grady in phoenix with more. >> good morning, we've got ourselves a ball game in this arizona senate race. according to the latest fox news polling, just two points is celebrating democratic incumbent mark kelly from blake masters and there's room for the g.o.p. candidate to grow with that libertarian marc victor dropping out. the candidates are dropping out and talking to voters what they think are going to sway that very important independent electorate over a third of the electorate in arizona are registered as that. and democratic senator mark kelly is trying to make this election will abortion and masters toured the vector with the most got-aways in the country. and the issue coming up is election integrity. there would be stricter voter i.d. criteria and here is what voters are saying about it. >> i completely agree that people should show their i.d. because it's a

this race is over.'s be clear and transparent for folks right now, nbc news has not called this race. our decision desk saying they want to make sure that there's no more outstanding vote in those high population areas. we're talking about areas like dane county and milwaukee county where i am now. i did speak to clerks from both of those areas, milwaukee county clerk saying that 100% of the vote is in. telling me that in the past couple of minutes. and dane county's clerk telling me earlier today that 100% of that vote is in as well. so with that information, that's what johnson's campaign is also hearing. that is the basis of the statement. i want you to see a little bit more of that statement that we got from senator ron johnson declaring victory before any -- before at least our network has done so. you see, he says, there's no path mathematically for lieutenant governor barnes to overcome his 27,000 vote deficit. this race is over. one thing to point out here, guys is how much the trajectory of thi

part of the race. that is slicing the bologna very thin. >> we could say the same about child cuodcases. there'a difference between using an express racial classification. whe're using race, you are lling them -- the applicants at the race matts. it is divisive, and gets is further rom how the government treats race as relent. >> they are offering it because they say race matters to me. this is not a situation in which the university is asr telling every applicant, give us your race so wclassify people, so we can give certain people preferences. the onlyean why the university knows the race of any ofhe applicants is because they are voluntarily providing that. >> but it is making distinctions on who it will admit, at least in part, on the race of the applicant. some races get the benefit and some do not. >> turning to the precedence for a moment, distinguished on the one hand between racial quotas which the justice said would be impermissible with pursuing racial diversity and critical massf fferent ra

the senate race now. chuck schumer called. not much of a race. the governor's race in new york. kathy hochul right now at 64%. lee zeldin 36%. a lot of votes outstanding. long island the house races. a lot of keen interest in new york with the house races. you don't find a lot of drama in new york. look at staten island. 2 cycles ago this would have been a 50-50 race. right now she is an easy winner with close to 63% of the vote. aoc a winner here in new york. it is the first time i have seen this guy. up against the republican. he has the lead. why is this important? maloney runs the democratic congressional campaign committee and overcease all of the house democrats and their election campaigns across the country. he trails lawler. republicans thought he was a good candidate. that is right before new york and the hudson river valley against from west point. the thing that is tricky about this whole deal, in new york, they redrew the map. the judge said forget. i will outsource it to another judge. what was the outcome? they forced a lot of leading democrats in new york to go a

that race is too early to call, but a bunch of them going down in those contested races.again, is it like the play from biden is that there is a pro democracy majority in america, and it includes members of the republican party, as you see in the testimony of rusty bowers, when he came before the january sixth committee and said i refuse to defy my oath to god and the constitution, to hand over the election against the will of the people. the genuinely creatures work being done by republican officials in the maricopa county board, who stood up against this and done the right thing. that has been the bulwark in many cases. >> we honor their heroism and bravery and standing up against it and also rue the fact that it should take physical courage to work in american elections. >> panic buttons. >> that's right, that's right. we're still waiting on that new vote from maricopa county that steve has been setting us up for. that's maricopa county, arizona, where we have outstanding races for senate and governor and secretary of state. lots to come, stay with us. ♪ music: “everyw

using race. -- will stop using race. harvd s not decreased its use of race at all. the only legal standard this urhas recognized is in brown . the 25 yr rk, we do not support it from the get go. think it was a pren that is not borne out. 20 years is enough to call it. >> thank you, counsel. >> mr. chief justice, the evidence and fdis in this case confirm what this court has longecnized, that a university student body comprising a multiplicity of backgrounds, experiences, finally benefits our nation. stereotypes are broken down. prejudice is reduced and critical thinking and problem-solvg ills are improved. student body diversity makes businesses more innovative and globally competiti, ientists more creative, medical presonals more effective and military more cohesive. experience has more than borne out justice powell's observation that our future as a country depends on having leaders who have enjoyed wide exposure to students as diverse as the nation itself. as the court has consisteny held, if necessary to achieve genuine diversity, a university need not blind its

this year, they projected most pollsters very close races. we saw very close races. we are seeing close races, but this is not going to be a red wave crank. this is going to be a red bump, perhaps republicans probably likely to take the house. did i say about the senate at this hour? so one might say more gridlock in washington. brian i want to ask you about some of the breaking news out of pennsylvania, calling that race for john federal explained to people as we're getting to this late place in the night, the remaining votes likely in places that will go to democrats. absolutely if philadelphia is still ready to deliver votes. federman is going to continue to increase his advantage, but you can see this is a razor tight race, razor thin race, and it was one of the most acrimonious senate races in this in this cycle, and so, um, this is this is one to watch, although it's been called a lot to talk about a lot to cover. we will stay updated on those races as we go throughout this evening, julie mike back to you. we will be checking in with you throughout the night, g

the senate race there, that race now closer than ever.re also standing by for new ballot numbers soon from arizona. let's bring in john king for a closer look at these new numbers. this is another critical battleground. >> these are from yuma county. so the dynamic here is senator mark kelly, 115,164 votes ahead. so any time we get new votes, what's the challenge? if you're blake masters, you need to make up ground. and the question is the percentages. yuma county, it's not a lot of votes, but i'll tell you why they're significant in a senate. this senator kelly getting 50%. you would say, okay, they're running roughly head to head, it's not a lot of votes so should i be starting to think blake can or can't come back? let's go over to yuma county. it's only 3% of the state population. it's not a big county. but this is a county donald trump carried by six points. the democrat is winning in this latest installment. now that does not tell you in the county overall blake masters is running four points and change ahead. but he's underperformi

race. it is too close to call between republican ted budd and cheri beasley democrat. in the georgia senate race, it is too early to call between the incumbent raphael warnock and republican herschel walker. look how tight they are. in ohio senate race, it is too early to call between republican j.d. vance and democrat tim ryan. about two thirds of the vote in. in the pennsylvania senate race with about 40% of the vote in, it is too early to call between democrat john fetterman and republican mehmet oz. in the new hampshire, interesting senate race, it is too early to call. maggie hassan, the republican incumbent facing republican donald bolduc. got a little less than 40% of the voting, and it's too early to call in new hampshire. and in arizona, we are looking at too early to call race between mark kelly the democratic incumbent and the republican challenger blake masters. at this hour, the democrats control 40 senate seats, the republicans control 41. 19 are still in play. steve, we've be

are we seeing the same issues set you talked about in the gubernatorial race for this senate race?uest: we are seeing a lot of the same thing. senator johnson and his allies are hitting mandela barnes on crime. the ads on that have been unrelenting for a long time. mandela barnes has tried to distance himself from the defund the police forces, the abolish ice people, senator johnson has tried to tie into that and say he would be soft on crime. and that he is not a good candidate in this environment. mandela barnes is african-american and is trying to become the first black u.s. senator from wisconsin. he is currently lieutenant governor from a walkie, he has tried to also talk about abortion but also talk about senator johnson's record, his role in downplaying the january 6 riots at the capitol, he had wanted a slate of fake republican electors for the vice president on that day. these are things mandela barnes is talking about on the state -- around the state. he is trained to bring in democratic voters in milwaukee which is the largest democratic voting hub in the state, that is

a lot will be said about this race. because this is multiple effortses on the part of beto o'rourke. >> mull temporary efforts multiple tens of millions of dollars and a lot of focus on beto o'rourke. >> o'rourke is the charlie crist of texas. >> exactly. >> i don't know what you're talking about. i thought the candidate was robert francis o'rourke. >> he's gone from the cover of vanity fair magazine and this shining hope of the democrat party. jessica, your thoughts on what has happened to beto o'rourke. does this seal the deal? is he done in politics or not? >> never say never with these things. as the evening goes as i expect it to for stacey abrams as well, there's a lot of soul searching and where you're dumping your money when you go on act blue, a lot of people's races are closer than you'd expect like sherry beasley in north carolina. i'm not saying that she will pull that off. when you think about where your dollars could go, that extra money going to maggie hassan. looks better than expected in new hampshire.

races as well. it will be interesting to see what happens with that ryan and collin schmidt. sat ryan considered one of the best democratic candidates out there. colin schmidt right on his heels. lee zeldon, he finally was able to get media attention for a really big issue in new york, especially new york city and that is crime in the city. long island in the hudson valley, they come into new york to work. and their children come here to work or their children are living here and they're upset about it and they are worried. a little bit of a shame, i think, for lee zeldon that he gave it that much of a shock. now, there is a senate race in a couple of years, i believe, in new york. i think i have that right. showing that he can at least get a foothold. he had never run in a statewide race before, maybe he will try to give it another shot. one more race in new york. i like this candidate up there. new york 25. this is at rochester, one of the highest crime rates in new york state. former police chief

the senate races that we are following right now, the georgia senate race. rafael warnock versus herschel walker. warnock is ahead right now, 49% to 48%. it is razor thin margins. if neither candidate gets 50%, there will be a runoff. the senate race in pennsylvania. this one already called. john fetterman has one that senate race against dr.. in recent days, oprah came out and endorsed john fetterman. president obama and president biden campaigning for him. it seems like those efforts and endorsements may have paid off. he is projected to win that senate race. turning to the arizona governor's race. democrat katie hogs against republican and former tv news anchor in phoenix kari lake who has the support of former president trump and has been brought up as a potential running mate for the former if he announces another run for president. right now, hobbes -- hogs is leaving in that rate. -- race. it will be very fascinating to see what happens as well. kari lake has already raised questions about credibility of the election results. we will see what happens.

that race is too early to call , but a bunch of them going down in those contested races.it like the play from biden is that there is a pro democracy majority in america, and it includes members of the republican party , as you see in the testimony of rusty bowers, when he came before the january sixth committee and said i refuse to defy my oath to god and the constitution, to hand over the election against the will of the people. the genuinely creatures work being done by republican officials in the maricopa county board, who stood up against this and on the right thing. that has been the bulwark in many cases. >> we honor their heroism and bravery and standing up against it and also rue the fact that it should take physical courage to work in american elections. >> panic buttons. >> that's right, that's right. we're still waiting on that new vote from maricopa county that steve has been setting up for. that's maricopa county, arizona, where we have outstanding races for senate and governor and secretary of state. lots to come, stay with us. my most important kitchen tool

. >> we have races out.have vote out and potential projections that we could make in some of the key senate races. let's not overstate it. it's a while before we see anything in nevada or georgia. the big news as we come on the air is this projection that nbc news has made in wisconsin. we are projecting republican senator ron johnson, the incumbent, as the winner, with a third term by defeating the democrat in that race, mandela barnes. in georgia, it's too close to call. you see ron johnson there, the projected winner. let's talk about georgia where raphael warnock and herschel walker -- neither of them have hit the 50% threshold to avoid a runoff. do i have to tell you when it is? december 6th. we're in election month. if this does go to a runoff. people are bracing for it. there are two senate races too early to call. in arizona, look at the numbers. you have senator mark kelly, who is leading the republican break masters. nbc again, too early to call. then you have the most vulnerable incumbent race in

-- this race.a: the election remains dramatic, neither the fate of the house nor of the senate is clear. what is clear? democrats exceeded expectations. on the senate side, a major blue victory in pennsylvania. >> we bet on the people of pennsylvania and you didn't let us down. lisa: john fetterman, the commonwealth's lieutenant governor, defeated television doctor mehmet oz, flipping a republican-held post with a no-ve-left-unturned approached. >> i really liked how aggressive on the ground campaign they ran, and at the end of the day i think that's what won for the camp. lisa: two other key senate races are undecided in nevada and arizona. both states have democratic senators challenged by trump-aligned republicans. also in both, ballots could take days to count. this, as in georgia, overtime. >> good afternoon, everyone. lisa: secretary of state brad raffensperger, who himself just won reelection announced the u.s. senate race between republican herschel walker and democratic incumbent rafael wa

the nevada senate race.t will happen to control the senate, and you also have from a neighboring state of arizona, a race between mark kelly and the headline in the washington post reads national headwinds catch up to mark kelly in this arizona race, and he has decked out passes from his time as an astronaut, and he wore a ball cap. the same hat favored by the famous party bucking president in the senate. the late republican john mccain. and no matter the question, he found a way to talk about working across the ais. his appearance encapsulated the attempt to build his own brand in a purple state. it rewarded candidates with an independent streak willing to stray from the party lines, but the efforts have run into strengthening headwinds in the final stages of the midterm elections, and inflation is high here. democrats are on the defensive, and on the border policy, republicans have coalesced behind gop challenger blake master as election day nears. polling shows an increasingly tough test of the ability to

and the governor's race.ernor brian kemp easily defeated democrat stacey abrams, the current tie we are looking at here in the senate really proves that walker struggled to convince georgia republicans that he was the right guy for the job. we are expecting a press conference at the top of the hour from the secretary of state and you have to believe the walker camp is hoping and praying that they announce an official run-off. sandra. >> sandra: expected to make an announcement on the georgia senate race the top of the hour, 2:00 p.m. eastern time. we will certainly be listening for that. thank you. john. >> john: keep it here, don't go anywhere. republicans believe they are on the verge of securing a majority in the house. results are far from what gop leadership might have hoped for. as of now, republicans have more projected wins than democrats but short of the 218 seats that they ultimately need. louisiana congressman steve scalise, the house minority whip. thanks so much. pointed out a moment ago and as w

this is an unusual race. mastriano has run a low-key campaign, that it's really just not comparable to any recent elections in pennsylvania. we haven't seen a gop nominee like this sort of just forfeit the tv ad wars to their opponent. so, you know, i think what you're saying is an interesting theory. but i would not be surprised if -- >> we'll find out. >> yeah, we'll find out. and i wouldn't be surprised. >> by the way, you are most -- you are most kind to mastriano describing his campaign as low key, i love that. >>> all right. back in a second, op-ed with experts in pennsylvania, georgia and ohio, and we're going to drill down on arizona, utah and georgia. the question is will republicans take control of the united states senate? and innovative ways to make your e-tron your r own. through elegant dedesign and progressive technology. all the exhilaration, none of the compromise. the audi e-tron family. progress that moves you. lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. tastes great in our iced co

masto race. a lot of industry in sectors and small businesses have not fully recovered in nevada, a great opponent in joe lombardo. he is a veteran and run a go the campaign that is a governor's race to watch. >> the states that are closing now. virginia is one you are watching. >> well, virginia has the house races we get no indication, not just as karl pointed out but margins, if we see higher or lower margins that will give us a sense. >> after that youngkin win. >> in first two of them, youngkin wound won by 10 points and five points and i think he lost in 10. he was talking about this today with bill and dana. >> some of those districts have changed a little bit because of redistricting. enough to give sma someone a chance, the race that i'm looking forward is indiana there is an incumbent frank mervan against jennifer-ruth green. i find her exciting, politico released a report about something that happened to her while she was in the air force, she did not want that released, she handled th

there are 5 legitimate tahoe's upper races -- tossup races. republicans are playing defense and pennsylvania. you have the big 4 democratic races in arizona, georgia, new hampshire, and nevada. right now we are looking at probably 52 or 53 democratic seats, but these races are so close. it would not be surprising if a republicans swept them all. it wouldn't be surprising if they lost them all. host: tomorrow night as the election results are coming in, what are you watching for that could be an indicator of one party controlling the chamber? guest: miles coleman had a great graphic that he put up, a graphic -- the stages of a wave. the first one is virginia's second district. heir -- their polls close relatively early. it is a swingy district. if republicans win that district, it will be a good night for republicans. if they end up winning virginia's seventh district, abigail spanberger is representing, it is a wave night. if they end up winning the 10th, which is abide in heavy district, the unfavorable -- it is like something we have not see

had close races in 2018, another close race in 2020. republicans in virginia changed the lines and moved her district north here closer to washington, d.c. still in a democratic district republicans think the weather is right in virginia to make a change. come back in a moment. up here in virginia 10. another very interesting race here. this is hung cal a republican from u.s. navy he was born in saigon. his family fled in april of 1975 at the end of that war he wants to take down jennifer wexton, another woman who won in virginia three races all three women won houses in 2018 all three seeking different terms. the lines are slightly different in each one. track that throughout be the night here. i want to do something if i could here. in indiana, you have got two time zones, right? close at 6:00, close at 7:00, indiana is now fully closed as of 11 minutes ago. and this is a race in upper northwestern part of the state tend to be like chicago than indianapolis. first term democrat being challenged by jennifer ruth green. republicans love

race with adam fresh. we discussed why he has been able to make it a very close contest. >> she only won 51% of the vote in 2020. she did not win her home county. my view is that those are -- they wanted another option. people want the service to stop, they want to talk about that phrase. whether i was in the most red parts of the district, which there is a lot of, they agreed. >> meanwhile, republicans point fingers at trump over the parties underwhelming performance. it is apparently not turning him from announcing another white house run in 2024. >> president trump is going to announce on tuesday that he is running for president. it is going to be a very professional, very button dot announcement. he said, look, the doesn't need to be any question, of course i'm running. i'm going to do this. i want to make sure that people know that i'm fired up and we have to get the country back on track. >> don trump has now sued the house january six committee, arguing its subpoena, seeking his testimony documents

race.s really essential because governor brian kemp as you said won pretty easily, at least by today's standards, over democrat stacey abrams but herschel walker underperformed, really across the state, but particularly in the suburbs, like here in cobb county, just north of atlanta and other suburbs. so the state of play this morning is both campaigns are preparing for a runoff, that has not officially been called by the secretary of state's office but election officials have been bracing for this and preparing for this runoff which would be december 6th. so there's no question that 18,000 votes separate rafael warnock and herschel walker but early this morning as they addressed their supporters they asked for a little more time and patience. take a listen. >> whether it's later tonight or tomorrow or four weeks from now, we will hear from the people of georgia. >> if you can hang in, hang in there a little bit longer. just hang in there a little bit longer because something good it takes

of an interesting race is the utah race and senator mike lee. this is not a traditional republican versus democrat race. skeptic. was a very trump he voted for t man running against him, evan mcmullin, a former ciative who ran as an independent antitrust candidate. ere was trump skepticism in utah among the mormon community and that is where mcmullen got lot of his support but we have seen lee really become a supporter of trump. questions about his activities onry 6 and different things. he has that he will not caucus with either party but he is running with half an endorsement of democrats who did not endorse a candidate. he is hoping to melt together independence, democrats and a more moderate republican polls but i think there has been a bit of flair that went up that mike lee was saying you need to give me money. this could be a closer than expected race. because this is not a traditional republicans versus democrats race it is a little harder to read as much into it there. the fact that mcmullen has said he won't caucus with either party be

this has been a crowded race. there are 10 candidates, and some of the front runners include how currently serves as district for city council member. also city council members lauren taylor and trevor reid and former city council member agnosia and i got a chance to catch up with read a little bit earlier today as she was making the rounds at different voting events throughout the city. and she told me no matter who wins, she knows oakland will be in good hands. this is a critical crossroads of this city is in and people want to see who is going to lead us into our next best chapter, and i'm certainly believing that that will be me as our next mayor. some of the big issues. the candidates have said they will prioritize include public safety, housing and keeping businesses here in oakland, so still a lot of votes account and anything could happen. good morning. live in oakland. i'm elissa harrington ktvu. so alyssa, if either candidate or one of the candidates doesn't reach that 50% threshold, then it will be deci

>> reporter: tight race.s is the race in my home district, the area that i grew up, i spent the week before election day there talking with sean patrick maloney. also talking with his opponent mike lawler. lawler there is someone who knows the state well, he has been an operative in new york state well before he got into elected politics. he said that he felt confident that he was going to be the first person in 40 plus years to knock off the man who is the head of the dccc. and it seems that he may have just done it because sean patrick maloney called him to concede. and this is the culmination really of new york state maps shifting so aggressively. and then of course the fact that maloney himself was in an intra-party battle as to who would actually be the person in the primary to be the one to run in this district. so there is a lot of we'll say monday morning quarterbacking, although it is a wednesday here, within democratic ranks as to what happened with sean patrick maloney in this suburban new york dis

a couple of othetoup races in oregon. 6th district. another op seat races.he democrat with 50.1% to 47.7% for the republicans. it is still early in oregon's returns. not even 60% reporting. in washington and the 8th district, the democrat trying to hold onto that seat. 52.9% to matt larkin's 47.1%. it is early on the west coast when it comes to returns. less than 60% returning. some of the latest on the tossup races in this cycle. host: a caller talked about derek schmidt out of missouri, the hill reporting as of 10:00 last night he was projected to win, defeating the democratic challenger. rudy in chula vista, california. caller: the reason i'm calling is i want the people to be open -- to open their eyes. when the coronavirus started in november of 2019, who was the president? it was trump. we went through 2020. he was the president. he should have pushed the virus for everybody to get -- everybody was dying. things were shutting down. host: how does this relate to the election? caller: i want the people, the democrats that are winning their seats and ever

those are the race is yet to be cold. to call at least one, maybe all of them over the next couple of hours. it is just after 11:00 p.m. on the west coast, 2:00 a.m. in the nation's capital or just after. while there was a red shift, the red wave, not quite materialized. we have team fox coverage in los angeles tracking what is happening, west, the g.o.p. reaction to tonight's results. but we begin with kevin corke monitoring election night, big news and bad news for the democrats. >> good evening, trace we continue to wait the final tallies in particular for the major races out west but in the east, if you surprise us to tell you about. so we begin in the commonwealth of pennsylvania where despite a shocking performance in the long debate of that race, john fen with dr. oz flipping to the reds the mike seat to blue. in the process, giving the democrats fresh optimism. but the balance of power in the senate could come in fact, remain in their hands. as you see 49.9% to 47.7%. elsewhere in the east, let's take you up to th

and eva, another key race in pennsylvania, the race for governor. the democrat in that race, josh shapiro, going into election day with a very strong lead in the polls. and? a question we're going to be discussing on election night coverage here, you know, will that help his fellow democrat, john fetterman, get over the finish line or will some there in pennsylvania decide to split their vote, maybe go for a democrat for governor, but then a republican for senate, we just have to wait and see. >> reporter: that's right, david. we're at the fetterman campaign event tonight here in pittsburgh and we have heard from voters across the state that they are going to split their vote. some republicans that we talked to say they're voting for shapiro, saying that the republican candidate is just too extreme. but then others tell us that they are voting straight ticket. this dynamic between these two races and how tight this senate race is really adds an element that is unknown. >> all right, eva pilgrim, counting on you a lot tonight in pennsylvania, the key

heck of a close race. the mayor of phoenix used to be -- against an incumbent member of congress, and he has got a really good chance of winning that seat, and in southern arizona, in fema county, with an earlier drop from pima county, it is now and a drop from one percentage point of the heavy favorite. it was already called by certain entities, i'm not sure nbc was one of the ones that called out race for her opponent, but she has come back, and she is within one percentage point. do not count out either of those two key congressional seats here in arizona. we have got a fighting chance, and great candidates and both those seeds. >> and we see that news is not prepared to project a winner in the secretary of state race in the state of arizona. adrian fontes is the former maricopa county recorder, now the projected winner as arizona's secretary of state. and representative stanton, he was of course, running against a donald trump supported out right election denier who was prepared to use the secretary of

a lot will be said about this race. this is multiple efforts on the part of beto o'rourke. >> multiple efforts and multiple tens of millions of millions of dollars and a lot of focus on beto o'rourke as a candidate, bit. >> beto o'rourke is becoming the charlie chris of texas. >> i don't know who you're talking about. >> robert francis orourke. >> jessica, your thoughts on what has happened to beto o'rourke? does this seal the deal, is he now down in politics or not? >> never say never with these things. i think if the evening go as i expect it to for stacey abrams there's a lot of soul searching your money. there's a lot of places where races are closer like sherry beasley. when you think about where your dollars could go, that money going to maggie hassan defending nevada. philadelphia to tim ryan who had to go at it alone without chuck schumer's support. these are celebrity candidates. there's been incredible messaging moments rallied the democratic base and focused on the issues that mattered to us as a party but th

and in this race in florida, specifically in the race for the u.s. senate, val demings, a former black police chief in orlando, about six miles from where i am, will rely heavily on the african american vote if she is going to make some headway against the incumbent republican, marco rubio. in florida, at 13% of the electorate is african american. then there is 18% which is hispanic. as we have seen, the republican party has made incredible inroads with what have been traditionally democratic voters inside the hispanic community. and i think there's a little bit of a picture here of some hope that those who got mail-in ballots but never sent them in will actually show up to the polls. when you look at the numbers here of people who requested mail-in ba lots and have not returned them, this is as of 8:15 this morning, 39%, almost 40% of democrats who requested mail-in ballots have not returned them yet. the postal service would have to get them in by 7:00 p.m. today. the republicans, 33.47%. in total, there were more than 4 million ballots that were r

area, including the races for mayor in san jose and oakland as well as the race for san francisco district attorney. you'll get all the results on everything from your ballot with us tonight. now after a voting closes tonight, all the ballots we deliver to the county registrar offices. that's where they will be counted. ballots that were dropped off of those drop-off boxes are already being delivered throughout the entire bay area. the wheels are in motion in san mateo county. the ballots go to what's known as county elections. central. pretty good name for a as bit. joins us now with more on the process of making sure every vote counts. san mateo county is unique in that it's a vote by mail county. so every registered voter received a ballot in the mail and 90% of voters took advantage of that option. even with that, it's still been a busy day at the 45 voting locations in the county assistant chief elections officer in san mateo. jim, here is ari was worried about voter turnout because of the rain, but says there's been a steady flow of people all day long. >> county election central isn

race. decision desk believes that catherine cortez masto and help challenger adam laxalt are locked in a very tight race. >> we believe that republicans senator mike lee has a solid lead as he seeks a third term against mcmullin. >> 40 republicans to 42 democrats, the seats that are yet to be filled in. >> ticking down there. then in nevada governor race decision desk said too early to call, a close race between democratic governor steve sisolak and republican sheriff joe l lombardo, interesting to watch. >> they had a snow events in nevada, counting goes on, we go to bill hemmer with a look at some you know. we maybe shup date people. in ohio. >> we stay east coast for a moment. a lot more data. a few races have changed. maybe perhaps in significant ways. start in southeast in georgia, this is razor tight, walker just took a lead over raphael warnock, first time on this panel walker leading warnock in the race. to the governor's race. and kemp at 54% over stacey abrams it gets wider and wi

raced with this key race of.atie hobbs, the secretary of state that helps certify the 2020 election results in arizona. she is leading former tv anchor turn unrepentant election denier kari lake, 184,000 votes, half of the vote in the state of arizona. then in new york, a race that nobody expected to be as close as it was in polling. and the end, kathy hochul, the incumbent democrat, 646,000 votes in front of lee zeldin, who you may recall voted to reject certify the election results in 2020 in the state of arizona and pennsylvania. hochul holding on to a lead there. let's get you a look at georgia now. this race that we've been talking about all night. incumbent republican brian kemp nearly 300,000 votes ahead of stacey abrams and this rematch from 2018. 82% of the vote in georgia. let's turn it over to casey hunt now. casey, you've got an update for us from some senate races. >> we do, and we're going to start, can you fill in the blanks for me, boris. georgia! we're going to start in georgia, where herschel wa

we're talking about this in key senate races and house races. i just want to remind people, remember in 2018, trump's first midterm we knew at this point democrats were having a big year but we didn't know nancy pelosi's margin until they counted it out on the west coast. a lot of mail-in ballots there. takes time. >> john, thank you. >>> coming up, while we wait for ballot updates in all the races and specifically these upcoming data dumps, we do anticipate coming in from arizona and nevada, we're going to take you the cambodia. that's where president biden is. he's expected to land there tonight for a summit. the latest on where his mind is politically, at least, with the votes in the house and senate races still coming in. (burke) every year you're with us, you get fifty dollars toward your home deductible. it's a policy perk for being a farmers customer. (customer) do i have to do anything? (burke) nothing. (customer) nothing? (burke) nothing. (customer) nothing? (burke) nothing. (customer) hmm, that is really something. (burke) you get a wh

senate race.s not expected to be competitive. you see the republican todd young early off to a good start for young here in indiana. what we are going to be looking for in indiana, and again this is a split poll close state between central and eastern time zone. this is the congressional district. this is gary/hammond area. frank mrvan. this is a district that voted from joe biden by eight points in 2020. changed a little bit in restricting. a little more republican friendly. this is one of the targets republicans have. they invested heavily. 7:00 p.m. eastern we're going to start getting results here. this could be a bellwether district. right now just getting numbers in indiana from the eastern time zone. also starting to get numbers from the other state with 6:00 p.m. ending. rand paul running for re-election, the heavy favorite to get re-elected. but what we're also following in kentucky tonight is if you remember over the summer that abortion referendum in kansas, that was a constitutional am

races.n it comes to michael oller beating the head of the dccc, that is a big win. even though lee zeldin ends up losing to kathy hochul, that is a big pickup there. >> that is something. republicans nationally in new york, they don't lose lee zeldin with a debt of gratitude. at the end of the day, it looks like we will pick up for congressional seats in new york. that doesn't happen without lee zeldin at the top of the ticket and places like michael oller, george santos, anthony d'esposito that all won. lee zeldin won in those districts by significant margins. what we see in the polling was lee zeldin and the republican congressional candidates were getting similar vote to what he got. >> carley: like i said before we go to the senate, obviously you need to take control of the house. what number do you think is ultimately going to happen for republicans versus democrats? where do things stand in the end? >> i think 222 range. >> carley: which is kind of where democrats are right now so sort

georgia, another huge race. when you talk about the balance of power, by the way, with pennsylvania, if the democrats win that they flip that state right now, georgia has a democratic senator, raphael warnock. he is the incumbent and look how close this is. herschel walker, the republican who has faced criticism, 2 women recently coming forward saying that he pressured them to get an abortion. walker is pro life right now with about 90% of the vote counted. it's 49% to 49%. you have about 1000 votes separating these 2. the key here and it's looking like maybe neither of these 2 get to 50% of the vote. if that's the case, if they're both below 50%, you don't have a winner tonight, they go to a runoff in 4 weeks from tonight. december 16 might recall. we had a runoff 2 years ago that warnock one in december. so it's feasible. they were talking for the next month about georgia potentially determining who has control of the senate really quickly, wisconsin is close. ron johnson, the republican incumbent. he has a a

the governor's race, much different from the senate race.an kemp's apparent success, will he help herschel walker across the finish line, no pun intended, as well. california tonight, gavin newsom, to polls closed, we can confirm he'll serve again. recall the first time he was elected. now re-elected. a lot of attention on gavin newsom because of his willingness to take on ron desantis, greg abbott in their own states with ads. questions whether he could run in 2024. he said in an interview with our matt gutman he is not running. what he said about joe biden and his own prospects for running as president. alex padilla stepping in after kamala harris elected vice president. he'll serve a first full term in the senate serving the state of the california, making history there as well. a lot of news to get to. i want to get to pennsylvania governor josh shapiro. what does this look like? >> i'm focused on the suburbs of philadelphia, because these are staggering numbers for a democrat. you see our 538 bunch mark, you need carry bucks county with

we are still calling this race a tossup. votes are still coming in and being counted, especially in the las vegas area, and in clark county, and election officials as they may not be complete, but they are counting until next week. maybe thursday. ryan and sarah? >> something we will have to wait a bit, natalie. we really appreciate it. we will continue to follow the results as they roll in. right here on kpix 5 and streaming on cbs news bay area, and online back kpix.com. >>> new video out of west oakland where fire sent black smoke billowing up under i-880, by getting traffic past the port, you can see flames right under the freeway, near third street and mandela parkway. that is near an amtrak maintenance facility, it is unclear what exactly was on fire , but it is now out. >>> another wave of tech layoffs in the bay area, this time it is facebook's parent company meta-. >> an active it has more on the cuts. >> this is of course on top of voters big layoffs last week. facebook now laying off 11,000 people, that is about 1
