cindy hyde-smith will win this race.l say it's possible the margin will get a little bit closer as the final votes come in. why do i say that? you see a lot of gray here in the western part of the state. there's blue all around it. this is where mike espy's old congressional district was out here. democratic areas that have yet to report. but they're pretty small. you look down here, jefferson county, less than 1% of the state population. adams county, just over 1% of the state population, and so on as you look out here at these democratic counties. so mike espy could make it a little closer. cindy hyde-smith by running it up in these red areas here. 60% down here. harrison county. this is biloxi where president trump was on the eve of the runoff. neighboring counties here, 60%. so in places where the president visited -- he was also in tupelo last night. let's come up here. nearly 70%, more than two-thirds of the vote there. it only happened so cindy hyde-smith could get some more votes here as well. it is a double-digi

might provide a roadmap so what would smith do?and then to ask the question and i would rather put this into that context. so as a wide ranging thinker is on both sides of the argument to say smith above all with that amount of value added from the markets no matter how deep it is if you think short-term perspective if that is what brexit involves but on the other hand, with the benefits of economic growth and the markets around the rest of the world so you can see why that could be the case. and that moment on the other side of the equation. and with the battle of saratoga. with those colonies and that will scout for those and suggest what it would be. so that is the idea of incorporating the union with the american economies to form one country and as england has done with scotland. but if that concern among the american colony the present situation is taxation without representation than that is the preferred alternative. if that is the thought that is the different understanding that is the different understanding if you have a

>> yeah, i think hyde-smith is going to win. i think she said some things that were not great and she didn't handle the apologies well. it strikes me that based on the general election results and based on the fact that i've not seen any evidence or public polling that tells me this race has tightened that it's more likely than not that a republican is going to win this election because it's a nationalized election and the people of mississippi like donald trump's agenda. they're more likely to send a senator to washington to support his agenda. so my presumption is this race is going to be less about what hyde-smith has not done well on the campaign trail and more about whether they're just going to continue to support the republican agenda and the trump agenda in washington. >> are you surprised, though, scott, in all honesty that you'd have a president of the united states openly supporting someone who has made those comments without any good explanation except for the obvious as to why she made them? >> no. i mean, he's a re

coming to cindy hide smith's defense. they feel she's under attack. her team has used president trump's talking points. this is an attack by the liberal media, kind of a smear campaign against her. the president will be in mississippi tomorrow to rally his supporters, his base, which is also her base. she has really run on her voting record, which is 100% in support of the president's agenda on votes where he's taken a position. so you're seeing people that -- the two of them really run hand in hand together on this. i think it could energize republicans. obviously, democrats are also energized. we'll see what happens on tuesday. >> it really is a close race. alex, mississippi has not elected a democrat to the senate 1982. what are the chances that mike espy may change that? >> it's a very long shot still. there was an earlier round of this race where there was a third republican in the race that split the republican vote. that's why we're in this runoff election. i think that last 10% will be the hardest for him to get. he's hoping for a doug jones s

>> senator hyde-smith has not done well for herself. she had to stage manage this debate where she didn't have anybody in the room and it didn't get very much coverage. she is really saying trump trump trum state he won by a couple of dozen points and do her a lot of good. look. in her closing statements, she has made reference more to trump almost than to herself and her own record, that's how tightly tied she is to the president. she clearly thinks it's a strategy that is going to bring her across the finish line on tuesday. >> and the thing is, kelly jeanne, when we look at mike espy, this is a moderate democrat. he is physically conservative as i understand it. what are his chances and does it come down to him voter turnout? >> yeah. a good question. errol is right about how much cindy hyde-smith is tying herself to trump. you'll notice we don't see a lot of clips of her talking to the media. her campaign actually seals to be keeping her away from media. i suspect they are worried she might have another slip of the tongue as they mi

cindy hyde-smith, 41.5% and mike espy, 40.6.according to senate polling numbers that we have gotten. i'll get you the source there shortly. the question is, when we look at president trump getting here tomorrow, will that swing it one way or the other? you heard the voter that was interviewed and said this is the old south. i'm not going to stand for it. i'm a republican. i'm not going to vote for the republican. >> sometimes the latest impression is the greatest impression. he has mixed record when it comes to supporting candidates who then do well at the voting booth or in terms of polls. with the race being so close, there's no doubt that his appearing there can swing it in one direction or another which is why i think that the out pouring of the democratic party there to make certain it mobilizes its own base would be wonderful if a nationally known democratic figure, an obama, kamala harris or senator booker might go down there at the last minute to match wits and presence with the president. i think if they can appeal to e

during a review of hyde-smith's legislative history, cnn's k-file found then state senator hyde-smithre promoting a confederate soldier's right to defend his homeland. a 2014 facebook post surfaced showing hyde-smith touring a museum of confederate artifacts and calling it, quote, mississippi history at its best. the "washington post" reported that in 2001 -- again as a state senator -- hyde-smith introduced a bill to rename a stretch of state highway to its name from the 1930s. the jefferson davis memorial highway honoring the president of the confederacy. and the jackson free press reported last week hyde-smith attended a private school founded in 1970 so white parents could avoid sending their children to integrated schools and sent her daughter to a similar school. while hyde-smith remains the favorite to win on tuesday, republicans aren't taking any chances with president trump headlining two rallies for her on monday. >> send cindy hyde-smith back to the united states senate so we can make america great again. >> jessica, the president holding two rallies where you are tonight.

yes, cindy hyde-smith was a lwa ys imagining. hyde-smith was always the favourite to win this senate seat. her campaign was briefly derailed by those comments she made, in which she said that she would turn up at a public hanging and sit in the front row if she was invited by a supporter. that caused a lot of controversy here in mississippi, not because it dredged up mississippi, not because it dredged up the past of racially motivated lynchings that took place in this state. it also made it a much more competitive battle. however, she has ove i’co m e competitive battle. however, she has overcome that and she has, according to the opinion polls and the results, really managed to make it a decisive victory here. this will be regarded as a win notjust for her, but also for donald trump, who came on the eve of the election and held two rallies in support of nikkei —— cindy hyde—smith. he also tweeted that this is a big win, it is big for him because it extends his majority inside the us senate, it means that he has 53 of the 100 se

so what does cindy hyde-smith do?he elected donald trump to be the voice and face of her campaign. you see donald trump on her campaign bus. you see donald trump. so i think we have to be really clear about that fact. and i think this does come down to a geo tv effort. african-americans comprise 30% of the voting electorate in mississippi. this will be a challenge for mike espy. i'm not writing him off but he has an uphill battle. >> it's clear that cindy hyde-smith's team saw her numbers were impacted for the worse when she did that. >> i tried this trick with ex-boyfriends of mine where it's like, i'm not really sorry but i'm sorry that what i said offended you. >> she was reading from a card. >> very true. >> biden, warren, booker, delaney? only one of those democrats is officially running for president. he joins me next. >>> welcome back to kasie dc. hoping for some down time between the midterms and 2020 presidential race? no such luck there. especially if you live in iowa where presidential campaigns are already

so, cindy hyde-smith's comments.duals say she maybe didn't intend to have them be so distasteful or have that conentation to them. at the same time, it's still very raw. this is a place that donald trump won by 18 percentage points and the question is, how many republicans are ultimately mike espy going to be able to poll off. a new tv ad released today and on the air waves here in mississippi from the espy campaign. >> we worked hard to overcome the stereotypes that hurt our econo economy. cindy hyde-smith so embarrass g embarrassing. >> a lot of the comparisons we have been making in this race is to what extent are we seeing here in mississippi what we saw with doug jones, the democrat in alabama one year ago. i have to be frank with you at this point,an anecdotally over e last week a lot of republican voters in the state that we talked to that said they found cindy hyde-smith's comments inappropriate and ultimately when it comes down to it, they have every intention to vote for her because she is the conservative
