what are the chances governor tom wolf could win with scott wagner on the ballot? guest: i think governor wolf has the advantage. wagner, i'm not sure the republican party has completely coalesced behind wagner. i expect wolf to win. he had a big spending advantage in his initial election. wagner got attention with a provocative ad, a video where he was trying to sound president trump-esque. i'm not sure it works for someone who is not president trump. host: the list texas 32, congressman sessions' does this district as a tossup. >> collin alred is a civil rights attorney. he plays for the tennessee titans. a young, charismatic guy. the district includes some north dallas suburbs. this suburban area has traditionally been republican but not favorable to the president. sessions, this is a dramatic difference. he ran on post -- unopposed in 2016. there was a primary in 2018 because so many people wanted to run. the new york times, they are finishing up their final polls. they show it as a close race. host: mia love in the fourth district. guest: utah was not favorabl

wins re-election defeating scott wagner, the republican in this race. we'll go to massachusetts. cnn projects that the winner there is charlie baker. also the incumbent there. the republican defeating jay gonzalez for a second term. so two holds, one for democrats and one for republican. and here is the big board. these are the races we just can't make any projections in at this point. alabama, connecticut, florida, illinois, maine, maryland, new hampshire, oklahoma, and rhode island and also tennessee. no projections at this point. it's just too early. in florida, let's go to this race we've been watching all night. andrew gillum, the democrat at this point, it's getting a little tighter with 82% reporting at this point. he's ahead at this point by about 23,000 votes, but look at that, it's about .4% split. in ohio, we'll go up to the midwest here, richard cordray, the democrat at this point, over mike dewine at this point for about 55,000 votes. 26% reporting. remember, ohio, a state that donald trump won by about nine points. the democrat doing well there. in georgia, another

president won the state by even a full n't 0.07%.tage point, tom wolf is seeking re-election gainst scott wagner, the democrat, popular senator bob casey, two-term incumbent re-election, his opponent is republican barletta.an named lou redistricting battles in pennsylvania. before we look at races, tell us the impact of those three statistics. >> well, i think the governor is re-election in the jr. will win sey re-election, as well. the president won pennsylvania, are ready mean they to throw all of their support to the republican congressman senator.he the redistricting piece of this is fascinating and a blue print want to do ocrats nationwide. eginning of the year, state supreme court threw out congressional map, they thought partisan id it was a gerrymander, they threw it back to the legislature, controlled republicans. and republicans drew a new map and sent to the governor to be signed. democratic governor wolf decided he said, i'm not going better it, that is no and it went back to the courts. the courts selected a map, a map was favorable to democrats and turned a handful of good take-ove

all candidates speak optimistically until they win and that's what scott wagner was doing and we predict tom wolf. mark shields the democrats hel on and the governors seat in massachusetts. so far this looks like the results we ected. >> yes, judy. i'm surprised we haven't called the governor of maryland larry hogan because the three most opular governors in theuntry are all republicans. charlie baker the repn ubli massachusetts, a very blue state. larry hogan republican in maryland is very blue state. d alabama are red states but what struck me is that the, we had numbers up there that's less than 1% of theote in ohio with 649,000 votes.e unless theyly got a lot of people in to vote, 1% is not going to be 649,000.i ennsylvaniaa in both were out of the donaldbo trump plak and both failed. pt woodruff: what do you see there as an atty any challenges. >> every election has goodet mas of math. one of the thing i'm seeing is sort of a dul wave theory in sort of areas where you expect democratto be strong they are really strong. so barba comstock, she's affluent counties, suburban counties ou

the problem that scott wagner, the republican candidate, has is he have to spell out how he wants tod the schools in the that 15d supply some of -- $14 billion. he hasn't done that. twitter, he asks why pennsylvania has some of the scripting -- restricted voting in the country. pennsylvania has not been in the forefront of election reform, i agree with that. we have a closed primary in pennsylvania, which means you can only vote in the primary in the party you are registered in. if you are an independent, you cannot vote in a primary. come -- historically over the course of the state's history, we have had very strong political parties run by party leaders at the top of the county in the state level. reluctant to move too quickly to make changes. although they did challenge the voter id law in the state. if you are a first-time voter, you have to trust -- show some kind of proof. thatd a law years ago everybody had to show proof and the proof was relatively limited to a few things. a first-timere not voter, you can just show up. host: william is next up. caller: good morning. pennsyl
