say it again, sean patrick maloney, welcome any time to come on the program. invitation extended multiple times. your race is now considered a toss-up, a lot of people are watching this race as possibly the most important race. by the way, how you handling the pressure? >> all good, all good. >> sandra: you obviously feel you can win. >> absolutely. our latest poll has us up six points. i believe from the start that we would win this race, and it's really because of the district. 50% of households in this district have a cop, a firefighter, first responder or veteran living in it. i've been here my whole life. 15 years ago he moved here to run for congress, and pushed jones out of congress, he has not been well received. 75% of this district is new for him. he only represents about a quarter of the new district. i represent about 20% of the new district in the state assembly. so he does not have the built-in advantage of being incumbent and inflation and crime, he owns it, he voted 100% of the time with nancy pelosi and joe biden and his record is one of failu

new york, seventeenth district, neck in neck between mike l lawler and sean maloney.an s siskomani making the border a top priority. those republican candidates join us now. thank you for being here. i want to start with you. in very different states i'm interested in your closing argument issueswise. looking at fox news polling it is clear inflation, high crime, and vague categories like political divisions, ukraine situation. what issues are you emphasizing on the campaign trail and what is your point in talking about it? >> we put over 170,000 miles on this thing. people can't afford gas, groceries and are worried about their grandchildren, fentanyl, one hundred thousand citizens in wisconsin, the border is wide open, parents labeled by the fda as domestic terrorists and worried about the agenda in schools, we are talking issues getting the american family in wisconsin every day and my opponent is not talking about that. he's walking a hard leftist socialist spending big government policy, all the stuff that is ruined the economy. my opponent has been doing that. >

maloney's chances seem to be going down by the day. if you looked a month ago, this race was rated likely drac democratic. today it's a tossup. every single day it seems like seanck maloney is losing a little bit of ground. and this to me is emblematic of what's going on nationwide, which is that the republicans have been gaining momentum over the last month. >> how rare is it for a high-ranking member of congress, his title, his seniority, how long he's been around. how rare is it for someone like him to lose a general election? >> i mean, it happens. it certainly happens. if we go back over time, we've seen tom dasha who is the senate minority leader lost in 2004. we saw tom foley get essentially ushered out of office. he was the speaker of the house during 1994. what's so interesting is that new york is kind of emblematic of the nation at large. we think, okay, new york is sort of this blue state, this blue state, nothing could really happen in new york that could be sort of representative of the nation at large. but indeed what we've seen in new york over the last three swing cycles, 2006, 2010, 2018, is the times at which you see big waves in new york, the

>> the district has moved from a d plus 7 to d plus 3 under the ratings, and sean patrick maloney only. i represent about 145,000 in the state assembly, and so he doesn't have the built-in advantages of being an incumbent. and the other aspect, largest contingent of teachers, nurses, it's a very blue collar district. >> sandra: we are going to cover it next hour and i'm out of town, put up the picture of your opponent fundraising in europe over the weekend. i know you are using this as a way to also hit him 29 days out from the midterm elections. he was campaigning with other democrats, including adam schiff, the democrat from california and others, spotted on video sipping wine raising money for their campaigns. >> no question. shows how out of touch he is as families are struggling to pay bills, he's galavanting across the effort. and they should go to firemaloney.com and support our campaign as opposed to sean maloney who is going across the globe. >> sandra: he is welcome to join us here, appreciate you joining us, and thank you for joining us. >> gillian: vice president kamala har

if you can take out sean patrick maloney, your counterpart at the dccc, that would be a big symbolic ory for us. >> this is about making sure you offer candidates fit the people they are seeking to represent. and sean patrick maloney ran away from 18, you had colin on earlier, he went to new york 17. >> john: the first dccc incumbent to lose since 1980. >> he had a seat he went to, he moved to he has never represented 70% of the seat. more importantly, sean patrick maloney ran on cashless bail. this insane policy that literally arrest someone at 9:00 at night for committing a criminal assault on another law abiding citizen and they are back on the street in hours committing more assaults. >> gillian: that's picking up around the country. >> no, it's real. and mike lawler is a great candidate who knows the district, represented the people in the new york assembly. he's the right candidate with the right message and sean patrick, he's got the wrong message and not the right fit for the district. >> john: eight days left as you said, see how it goes. thanks for coming in, tom. >> gillian

i'm up by six points over the sean patrick maloney of the chair of the dccc.stupidest piece of legislation that has ever been enacted into law. crime is up 36% since it took effect on january 1st, 2020. over 40% of those released on nonmonetary bail have been rearrested while those charges are pending. voters are frustrated with the high cost of living, and the surge in crime and that's why we are ahead in the polls, and if folks want to help us go to fire malone.com and help us defeat the chair of the dccc and send a message to nancy pelosi and joe biden that people have had enough. >> brian: he has designs of being speaker that would be titanic loss for democrats. mike, in particular, you are in new york right now. whether a can you do -- what do you say about redistricting. democrats thought they would redistrict republicans out of existence. it blew up in their face. >> no question, you know, and the john lewis voting rights act, specifically prohibits gerrymandering and sean patrick maloney as chair of the dccc sent a memo to state democrats asking them t

people need to show up. >> sean patrick maloney reaching out to the other side, quoting patrick j. rick maloney of new york, thank you very much. i do want to say, michael steele, there's a difference. the congressman was talking about abortion. >> right. >> people of good faith can have a debate on abortion, whether pro-life or pro-choice. we both have friends in both parties who are both. but that's -- that's really not what i was talking about. i'm talking about madisonian democracy, i'm talking about january 6th. this is something about where people of good faith who are pro life and pro choice can be concerned about the state of madisonian democracy. have you seen evidence that people actually care about this and that anybody is going to vote around the threats to american democracy? >> i'm so glad you asked the question. i don't think the congressman really touched on the point you were getting to here. the short answer is yes. why do i say that? i go back to before the january 6th hearings began, this idea, this concept of democracy and what happened on january 6th, the attac

sean patrick maloney is head of the democratic congressional campaign committee and democrats right now are putting more money into his race. what does that tell you, right? they're trying to match the republicans. they really believe, the rnc believes that mike lawler is a sufficient candidate to take down sean patrick maloney that would be an earthquake. there are other places to poke around. rhode island, we picked up a story. alan fu in. g is the republican. see if he runs against the democrat, republicans have not competed in rhode island in a long time. they believe they're in the game with people like fung. they like him as a candidate. former mayor of cranston, rhode island. we'll see if they're onto something. if you come all the way out here to oregon, this is another stunner two. watches three races here in oregon. this is portland, salem right around here. you can just move up the map, 4, 5, 6. 6, right here andrea salinas, progressive democrat and mike ericsson's challenging here and republicans are putting a lot of money into this race and we're going to see this trend as

the two men appeared alongside kathy hochul, and sean maloney at an ibm facility in new york.a 20 billion dollar investment in new york's hudson valley region, working on semiconductor chips, quantum computers, and artificial intelligence. just a few days, ago semiconductor manufacturer micron, pledged up to 100 billion dollars over two decades, to build a new computer chip factory in upstate new york. both companies credited biden's trips and science fact, it offers more than 52 billion dollars in subsidies and tax credits, two companies making semiconductors, and microdosing the united states. with the economy top of mind for many voters ahead of next month's election, the president also said this. >> >> you have created 678,000 new manufacturing jobs, where -- and we're just getting started. where is it written that we cannot lead manufacturing in the world? i don't know where that is written. that's one of the things that the chips act is going to change. the law that is going to build the future in a proud legacy, not only for ibm, but for the country. >> joining me now i

first of all, sean patrick maloney, he is the head of the dnc see, he's representing the valley.e that democrats can win control of the house. that campaign arm of the democratic party. his own seat right now is a bit competitive. there are a couple of reasons why. he came out pretty bruise from his primary and also the redistricting. he's having to re-introduce himself to a lot of his district. the first lady is in new york this weekend for him. also, there is a district in new jersey that we are watching, tom malinowski is the democratic incumbent. he is facing a challenger that he also faced against in 2020. helen l ski won by a slim margin. he has been the advantage. alex, we talked to dave about why we are seeing competitive races and such traditionally blue strongholds. he said, this is really a challenge for democrats because they're having to spend money here. they are not able to spend that money elsewhere in swing districts where they are really trying to stay competitive. these are some interesting races that we will continue to watch. >> absolutely, place they did not

and to the house of representatives as a result turns into republican hands. >> sean patrick maloneyose is his race? what is happening there? >> well, that seat is re-drawn, as you pointed out, it's north of new york city, it's a suburban, ex-urban kind of district. he is facing a fairly significant challenge from lawler, now running for congress, after serve can in the assembly here. the polling on that has not been definitive, but it looks very competitive. and considering maloney's prominence as the head of the committee, it is very shocking he could be on the ropes up there. >> pat ryan won a special election just a few weeks ago, a month ago, and it was a big headline for the entire country saying that abortion was a really big issue and that is why republicans across the country should worry, and he won that special election in new york. is he still in a strong position? do the political winds that helped him along, are they still there? are they still potentially a help for democrats, in these now suddenly very tough races or is the economy suddenly coming forward again? >> i

so you're looking at somebody like a democratic leader, sean patrick maloney, head of the dccc, taken the republican candidate. democrats all of a sudden are talking about crime. they missed it. >> look, i think whenever you have an -- i don't disagree with you, dana. three seats in new york. one or two probably should be contested. there's one that's a real surprise about. and crime is at the top of the list. i'm going to differ slightly. when there's a convert to my side, i take them. we will take you on to our side. and when there are people who -- republicans who flipped on choice at the end of their primaries, i accepted them. now, is it political? perhaps. but we have a problem. the and i've tried to explain to my party for a long time, at least the last several months, we can't be for violent criminals having cashless bail. we cannot be for not fully funding the police. i will add, there was a bill that went before congress three weeks ago, that funded the police. republicans didn't like all of it. all of them voted against it. democrats ought to point that out. the bigger issu

gubernatorial race for the state of new york would be tight, and not only that race, but the race for sean patrick maloney's seat as well. you have biden campaigning with governor hochul and the first lady going to be campaigning for maloney and trying to weigh in and help his campaign. what happened there? is it mostly related to crime? >> well, that is certainly a big issue in the new york race and a big issue quite frankly around the country, bianna. listen. what i'm hearing from democrats is a rising level of concern with each passing day now that there is this potential red wave building and that this midterm election season may perform to form like we have seen in previous midterm cycles with a first term president which is that everything at the end potentially just collapses in the drexeirectional wave from t president's party. that may be happening here. what you noted about where the president is going today to new york, i mean, here is -- we are 12 days away from election day. we know president biden's approval ratings are upside down. he's more unpopular than he is popular broadly across the cou

go to new york's 17th district where republican mike lawler is trying to upset congressman sean patrick maloney d triple c chair. now, mccarthy aligned super pack is dumping $4 million of broadcast tv ads there to help lawler, who is fantastic by the way. what can you tell us about that race. >> this is another race in trouble. new york, which you see is another liberal state, the republican govern candidate is only a few points behind the democrat. that means republican democrats in districts much closer that democrat's got to run, they've got to be in trouble. so republicans are gaining, they're ahead. they're probably going to take that it looks like, probably going to take all of long island. very different map for new yorkers and again a response to the crime, the inflation and all the issues the democrats don't want to talk about. >> laura: and new york deserves better than maloney. now, i want to turn to virginia's 10th district where democrat jennifer decks ton is neck and neck with republican chao even in internal polling. >> this used to be a republican district, barbara comstock's di

now, democratic congressional campaign committee chair sean patrick maloney is really in the political fight of his life against mike law ler, he has run a strong campaign inflation and crime. important to them in the latest quinnipiac poll. nom none has lost since 1980. this shifts in the power ranking from lean democrat to toss-up. and that's significant. now let's take you out to a race that one of the bright spots for democrats surprisingly comes from reliably red oklahoma. the state's superintendent of public instruction joy hofmeister turned this in competitive race. democrats can also find some solace in the race for governor inside pennsylvania. the latest rcp poll the average the latest polls has democratic attorney general josh shapiro leading republican doug mastriano by more than 8 points. >> in the senate race we just talked about that. how close it is. uncertainty continues to build ahead of election day. new cbs poll puts the democratic lt. john fetterman ahead of republican mehmet oz by 2 points among lightly voters. again rcp and average is making all these polls come

>> i'm a house guy, sean patrick maloney, he's the chair of the dccc, it's the house democrat wing, he'sere in myself, i think he's going to lose if it's a good night for republicans. also katie porter, she is a radical, very smart liberal. she's going to lose. orange county, traditionally a republican area. she's raised $17 million and still can't win that seat, that's how bad her policies are. will: jackie? >> i'm looking at nevada, also pennsylvania neck and neck in both situations. dr. oz has made tremendous ground and, of course, fetterman hasn't gotten up to the plate, no interviews, no debating, no talking about the real issues like the economy which matters to voters. but also nevada where right now the economy is the top issue to 44% of voters. 26% of democrats say they care about the economy, 14% of them say it's all about abortion. but, of course, it's adam laxalt that's really focusing on crime, on the economy, focusing on the issues that matter to people right now in the here and now, the present, to that washington post article. we're not talking about the past. we're talki

go vote. >> chair of the dccc, sean patrick maloney of new york.e economy and to rally democrats in that important swing state. he'll be alongside john fetterman there. >>> ahead of that trip, ron klain will be our guest. first, a federal judge says former president trump and his legal team signed court documents claiming voter fraud that they knew were false. those details next on "morning joe." ning joe. two new ihop lunch and dinner menu items for twice the goodness, twice the flavor, and twice the choice. sirloin salisbury steak and all-natural salmon. perfect for lunch or dinner. only at ihop. download the app and earn free food with every purchase. bipolar depression. it made me feel trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark place. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms. and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight.

kevin mccarthy wants to be speaker of the house on the republican side they are going after sean patrick maloney. the head of the democrats' congressional committee in a redistricted situation but he is a popular democrat. raised a ton of money and yet this race is very close. he is running against a guy named lawlor. more focus is happening there. i would love your take on this. inflation, yes, of course, but crime is a huge issue in that district. >> this is a district that joe biden won by 10 points. a pretty solidly democratic seat. and yet it's competitive because of the issue of crime. in fact, when maloney ran for attorney general in 2018, he came out for that controversial bail reform law that has become unpopular in the state of new york. it's an ad. if you look at the republican ads there is footage of maloney coming out to revamp the bail laws all over the airwaves even in new york city. republicans are coming after the democratic party's king. they think they have a chance the take out the party leader and that means they aren't just saying it but putting millions and millions of dol

sean patrick maloney's race is now classified as a toss-up. >> we've got a record of progress and we're doing a lot better than people thought we would and we're in a very competitive election. we know it will be a challenge and hard. my mom said everything good in life is hard. we have to go work. that's what we'll do. >> president biden is doing some rare for him lately today. he has a political event. it is not in front of any persuadeable voters or not alongside any candidates or in a swing state. he will be in washington, d.c. addressing a dnc staff meeting. >> harris: thank you very much, peter. in "focus" now congresswoman kat cammack, homeland security subcommittee of fema. she knows how to handle a disaster and we've got one. congresswoman, you know, when you look at inflation, it is of epic proportions right now. the economy is in trouble. when you hear dems on the other side like the top of the food chain nancy pelosi speaker of the house say let's just change the subject it feels like an emergency. >> absolutely, harris. you don't spend -- it has been a disaster. folks on fi

new york, sean patrick maloney, republicans putting money in there, democrats too.ton state, patty murray, you know, democrats forced to go into that race on the border, southern border. monica de la cruz is a republican, and it looks like democrats have entirely pulled out there. these are big deals. we can look at the polls, but the money kind of speaks a little louder. stuart: where the money goes, it shows you where the parties think they're in real danger. >> that's right. stuart: you've got to tell me about this. you've got a new show, it's op on fox nation. is it about the midtermsesome. >> i do. it's called kayleigh's midterm countdown. kari lake, ron johnson coming up, all the big names, all the big candidates. stuart: it is getting exciting. >> it is. stuart: there's 13 days to go. it looks like there could be a real turn around for congress. to me, that's really exciting. >> and when you look at trajectories, every single poll is running in one direction, stuart. the color i'm wearing, kind of red. stuart: i've got to be serious about one thing here. just

margaret, on the house side sean patrick maloney chair of the congressional campaign committee poo findslf in a race for survival. you don't see this for people who chair campaign committees, they usually avoid this type of case. what's going on here? >> haven't seen a loss in a general election in 40 years. a once in a lifetime event if it happens. what's going on redistricting really hit new york democrats, which is ironic. think of new york as a democratic stronghold. remember drama in the primary season where meloni decided to run in the same district at jones and cost jones, a rising progressive, his spot. so there's no love lost between meloni and a fair number of progressives in they're own party and now this shows how close that race is, perhaps what a difficult year it is for democrats potentially. but so this is totally personal and totally psychological. republicans now $ mil6 million, million, even if they don't succeed, getting under his skin, creating a social message. >> good for the economy. getting commercials. ask about the desantis/crist debate. ask in a different way.

democratic representative sean patrick maloney, that's his role to get democrats elected to congressocked in a race. that is a district that biden won by double digits. it shouldn't be close if past is precedent. but yet it is. what does this tell you? >> reporter: we always talk about deep blue new york. but this is showing that it is an increasingly challenging environment for the party in power. that's the democrats. we know that president biden's approval rating is underwater. we also know the nonpartisan political report just shifted its projections for this race, moving it from lean democrat to tossup. now patrick maloney in the past has expressed not a lot of worry that democratic party resources would need to be used to help his own race. that now has changed. >>> next, he ran for re-election sticking up for his principles, and it saved the country. joe meacham on who that president was and if there is anyone like him in american politics now. >>> plus, this moment in the chinese communist party's highly core on graphed meeting. and then this happened. where is former preside
