thanks to scott garrett image. you'll have another chance tonight to see it. 5:24 tonight is moon rise. moves to mid-50s early in the morning. i'd say we're good upper 60s it's another relatively calm, dry day. coming up, we do have snow planned for mountain areas. >> good. we're ready for a change. thank you marty. >>> let's look at sky 9, i-29 and 8 not much going on. a little bit of traffic. people get up and going on 6:03 monday morning. it is monday. let's get and crush it today on mobbed. there are only two accidents to let you know about. the most recent wads disappeared and popped back. looks good for now. >> thank you. >>> trump has 70 days or less to go before sworn in as 45th president of the united states. he's not wasting any time picking his leadership team. none of his picks has been surprising except maybe the person asked to leave his transition. >> that was a bit of an interesting switch up. trump originally picked chris christie to be at the helm of his transitionm. pence. pence has been proven t

democrats did manage to turf out new jersey republican scott garrett. you might remember him making waves when he said he stopped giving money to the republican party because the party had gone too soft on gays. scott garrett will now be free to try to find a gay-free corner of new jersey to retire to because he is going to be replaced in congress by a democrat named joshua gottheimer. john mica lost his seat to stephanie murphy, the first vietnamese american ever elected to congress. charlie crist is going to be headed to congress as a democrat. he beat republican david jolly who was going to run for marco rubio's senate seat had marco rubio not come back from the dead to take it back himself. in arizona, maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio finally given the boot after 23 years of national showboating on being super anti-immigrant. he is also the sheriff who said he sent a cold case posse to hawaii to investigate president obama's birth certificate. he is gone. voters in california, nevada, new mexico, and maine legalized the recreational use of marijua

but looks like scott garrett is in trouble. >> at this moment exactly.ong time republican leaders actually now in trouble tonight. we'll see if there's symbolic victories tonight for democrats in the house or if they make real gains. >> looks like the big numbers are not going to be there for house democrats. they're going to have to go to sleep tonight with these kind of specific members that they were focused on that they are going to get. >> all right judy hari we'll keep watching. >> woodruff: that is if they get any sleep at all. >> sreenivasan: new hampshire, james pindell with the globe. it's a very tight race. >> it is a very tight race, i've been talking to the war rooms, they have about half of the state in while obviously our reports coming in from the ap are quite behind that. it is still a very tight race for them. it's a fascinating thing owatch though in the stays is how class and how education have really sort of flipped the normal models you normally see when it comes to a traditional republican versus democratic presidential race. so yo

he's also campaigning with some members of the freedom caucus itself including rob blum of iowa, scott garrettf new jersey, both of whom indicated support for paul ryan. the larger picture here is that paul ryan will need all the support he can get on the floor if there is a narrow majority and if some members decide to vote against him on the floor, it could be very hard to get that 218 vote threshold to be re-elected speaker. one thing he has going for him, who will run, who will become speaker if he's not? there's no obvious alternative at this point. >> all right. manu raju, drama on capitol hill. they are not even on capitol hill right now. thanks so much. appreciate it. >>> let's bring in mary katherine ham, cnn political commentator and senior writer for the federalist and margaret hoover, veteran of two presidential republican campaigns. when it comes to the republican leadership, post-election, what do you think is the most likely scenario for paul ryan? >> i think it's highly likely paul ryan returns to the house as manu said with a narrowed majority but still a majority, and he's el

major garrett is at trump headquarters tonight. major. >> so scott and norah, over the last three or four days donald trump has worked at break neck pace. five, six rallies a day going to battle ground states drawing enormous crowds, crowds that sometimes would wait six or seven hours for him to show up. if there's one thing that people close to donald trump have told me through the this campaign it is this. that all the polling modeling for this election would be off, skewed in the wrong direction, not capturing the voters who are showing up at these ram ease and the trump -- rallies and the trump people were certain would show up to vote. anyone who stands in line for seven hours to not see a concert and not be fed is going to show up at a polling booth and cast a ballot. it is that underlying assumption that in more than one battle ground state has proven to be true. when we arrived in michigan over the weekend and there was a crowd of 10,000 people waiting for donald trump, they were screaming their heads off relentlessly through his speech and i

in that regards, scott, trump will try to set a good example, voting manhattan. >> major garrett for us tonight. nancy cordes and the clinton campaign. >> we can dupe this. nearly 600 days after laubching her bid, clinton wrapped up with a simple message. vote. >> if the lines are long tomorrow, please wait. >> unlike trump she spent the day bouncing between just two key states. pennsylvania and michigan. between division and unity in our country. it's between -- strong and steady leadership or a loose cannon who could put everything at risk. >> clinton told reporters she is already thinking about what comes after election day. >> i think i have some work to do to bring the country together as i have been saying in these -- speeches in few days, i really do want to be the president for everybody. people, people, who vote for me, people who vote against me. >> her confident is based on a get out the vote operation two years in the making. campaign aide say volunteers in battleground states knocked on 6.2 million doors this weekend and made 8.1 million phone calls. >> great. >> preside

major garrett is at trump tonight. major? >> reporter: scott and norah, earlier this evening there was a definite despondensy within trump tower looking at the exit poll data on reports from battleground states. that has turned to cautious optimism. one thing i heard repeatedly from senior trump advisors is the exit poll data doesn't look good but we'll overperform the exit poll data just as we predicted we would overperform public polls. how much maybe 1 or 2%. the numbers reflect the overperformance of what was noted in the exit polls and public polling in the battleground states before votes started being counted. susan welsh the director in florida for the trump campaign, her quote, we feel pretty good about the prospects for trump in florida but are waiting to see what happens in broward county but florida is an absolute must for donald trump. there is no path without florida. they would like to see more encouraging trend lines in north carolina, virginia, encouraged by pennsylvania and michigan but have yet to see the breakout state where

major garrett watch party tonight. major. >> i'm sorry, scott, yes. one of the interesting things about this phenomenon that is playing out before the entire nation is the donald trump campaign and led always by donald trump, the single most important force within his campaign, him throughout, is that he can do this without the regular support of the republican establishment. he has been at odds with the speaker of the house, paul ryan. this will give ryan and trump some bit of business to take care of, if in fact these trend lines continue and donald trump becomes president-elect of the united states. he fought with other senators, lindsey graham, who was a rifleav him. george w. bush didn't vote for him. george h.w. bush, we are told, did not vote for him. this estrangement trump had was always believed to be a weakness. he always believed it was a core strength and a manifestation of what he most represented to those who supported him from the very beginning, that he was against the structure of power as it existed in washington, and more important

scott and norah. >> pelley: major garrett for us tonight. major, thank you very much. let's go over to nancy cordes, who is at the jacob javitz center here in new york city on the west side, where the hillary clinton campaign intends to have its party tonight. nancy. >> reporter: and, scott, they're not popping the champagne corks just yet, but they probably are thinking about how good it might taste, and that's because o that they're seeing-- and this is a data-driven campaign-- matches up with what they expected. good news for the clinton campaign because they have so many paths to those 270 electoral votes. they are especially heartened by that turnout in key democratic counties in florida that major was just talking about. they can win without winning florida, but donald trump cannot. anecdotally, what they're hearing from their army of volunteers across the country is that there is a lot of enthusiasm out there, and that closing days as clinton took the edge in enthusiasm among supporters from donald trump who had, had that edge all throughout this campaign. other
