she is comparing congress to the connecticut state senate. there is 36 state senators. we worked, when i was in the senate, on a much more bipartisan basis than we are in congress. it was not as polarized. 84% of all of the votes when i was in the state senate were bipartisan. 84%. where we had differences with my democrat colleagues, mainly the majority, had to do around fiscal matters. financial stability. and once we had that tie in the senate, we were able to do some good things in terms of stabilizing connecticut's economy, in terms of experiencing the surplus that we have now. i will tell you this, my opponent earlier said, what can one congressperson do in washington? she sets a very low bar for the position. you know, we are already making history with this campaign. we have the attention of the democrat leadership. we have -- my campaign, we have the attention of the house republican leadership. because one person can make a difference. and i was in the state senate, one person, freshman, state senator, because i won that district, we had that tie in the senate

republicans -- look what is happening in the united states senate right now. have the head of the campaign arm calling, questioning mitch mcconnell and the future of the conference. you have josh hawley doing the same thing, a missouri senator. you have marco rubio from florida as well, somebody you would think would be lining up behind mitch mcconnell. republicans are going to have their own issues in the senate right now trying to stay together. mitch mcconnell, who has been bullet proof now for decades because he has really done such a very good job of keeping the republican conference in order, has done an amazing job getting judicial nominees through, now he is going to have a fight on his own hands within his own conference. >> they were complaining of mitch mcconnell, among others, about the quality of those republican candidates who won the primaries and now they're paying the price for it. >> that's right. they were talking about candidates in georgia, they were talking about candidates -- not so much in nevada, but certainly in arizona, in new hampshi

, the democrats moved to within one seat of control of the united states senate, and about 24 hours later, and nevada, steve kornacki was at the big board in the moment when the nbc news decision dusk projected democratic senator katherine cortez masto would be reelected to a six-year term in nevada. that was the most important election announcement of the week, since it ended the crushing suspense about which party was going to control the united states senate. after the nevada race was called, white house chief of staff -- join us tonight, tweeted senator schumer and senator gary peters, that's the tweet. you will hear from both of them tonight. you've already heard from senator schumer during rachel's hour, and you will hear from senator peters during this hour. when mark kelly won his senate reelection in arizona on friday night, the first gassed i wanted to hear from on this program was senator gary peters, who is the chair of the democratic senate campaign -- by friday night, gary peters was all ready the most successful chair of the democratic senate campaign committee enough

are you ready to elect val demings to the united states senate?re you ready to defeat ron desantis? i feel your energy. everybody needs to vote. everybody. can you say vote? >> vote. >> one more time. i want to hear you say vote. >> vote. >> we are in the final stretch. you got it right. the stakes could not be higher for florida. the stakes could not be higher for america. florida's future is on the ballot. our fundamental freedoms are on the ballot. and my friends, a woman's right to choose is on the ballot. [cheering] and you know, ron desantis wants to do to america what he has done to florida. and we can stop him. right here, right now. when we win, we will send shockwaves across america. [cheering] so did you watch the debate last week? [cheering] what happened to that guy? desantis would not commit to serving a full four year term. he spends more time talking to extremists across the nation then he does to our fellow floridians. he has refused to answer the question on how far he will go to ban abortion. because he will go all the way. he d

the finish line because we're on the verge of passing the respect for marriage act in the united states senate and it is a historic piece of legislation to ensure that with the same-sex or interracial couple marries in one state and in every state has to honor that. the federal government has to honor that as well. there may be no rights closer to the heart send those that you love colorado understands i was going to come down here to talk about how over decades my state has led on the quality was civil unions we have i been in my state and passing around version of the equality act in colorado i was going to tell you how colorado understands what quality is come to mean in america in 2022. but last sunday colorado will capture the news of a loving and accepting 20 -year-old lgbtq club in colorado springs what is the target of a mass shooting. five were killed and at least 22 injured and in the day cents they have been described club q as the center of community building a place whereea everyone can be their true selves and live without fear. the owner said he founded the club to be a safe pla

and eventually it got me to do something as crazy as run for the united states senate. >> in a historic run. >> yeah. and as you point out, georgia did an amazing thing. a former state of the confederacy elected its first afcan-american senator, only the 11th african-american senator in the whole history of the country. it also ected its first jewish senator. >> yeah. >> in one fell swoop. and i think, somewhere in glory, martin luther king jr. and rabbi abraham joshua heschel are smiling because they marched alongside one another. and so i'm very proud of my state. i was born in georgia, raised there, went to college there. and now i serve as pastor of ebenezer church, where dr. king served. georgia sent me and jon ossoff to the senate on january 5th. january 6th, we saw a violent assault on the capitol. and all of it was driven by the "big lie," this idea that certain people's votes, and therefore their voices, don't count in our democracy. and so for me, this is an american moment. january 6th does tell us something about our country, because it happened. >> yeah. >> we don't get to

state of ohio. such an important job. now that i am the senatorct of the great state of ohio -- [applause] j.d.: we have got a solid foundation. not just to win races, but actually get to washington and serve the great people of ohio. i have to think graham, jack mahoney, caleb, daniel. joe, thomas, steph, our incredible field directors. addie, doing great things for us. i want to say a few words about our incredible financial team. powers, angie, chris, hannah, thank you for everything you did. >>jd!. j.d.: finally let me say a few things about the three guys who i think it constantly were in my ear about what we needed to do. how we needed to execute this campaign. my dear friend j, thank you for everything you did. andrew, a great guy, a massachusetts guy, still a good guy, looking him to ohio ladies and gentlemen. and i already thanked jordan, where think luke thompson. everything you did to help us on the outside. there are the thank yous. i think we get a chance to govern. we will see what happens across the country. if i'm being totally hon

at this point, just one chamber appears to be up for grabs and that's the state senate. ns have a one vote majority in each chamber, the house and senate and the one vote has been tough for the democrats to pick up. in the senate, a litmus chance election, and lb ford, central phoenix, central maricopa county district and pitting a incumbent against each other and it may be the best chance to knock off a republican senator, but they have to win four or five more seats, and four or five more easts are up for grabs in the senate to at least have a tie, to tie, the democrats, if they tie, they can stall legislation and if they don't, with governor hobbs, you would have vetoes and with lake you would have a lot of policy decisions that the democrats would not like. >> what about the election in the future and 2024 and the elections following it if republicans are able to gain control or maintain control of things in arizona, how much sway will they have over the vote count? >> that's a great point. and just covering the legislature is great, because a governor without a legis

georgia that a lot of attention will be paid to because it could decide control of the united states senatesenator rafael warnock with 100% reporting out of georgia. herschel walker, the republican 40 5%. the, you need percent plus one vote to win that election is talking more about runoff later today yesterday was georgia's secretary of state brad raffensperger talking about the state with for the runoff election. here is one had to say. [video clip] >> our office is beginning the behind-the-scenes work to build balance. pallets are being built as we speak. and counties are making preparations. process this ethics, voters can request absentee ballots now through monday 20. there are 100,000 voters on our absentee ballots list. these people are the 65 or disabled. early voting must begin no later than monday, november 28 in all counties. we do anticipate some counties are likely to have saturday voting following thanksgiving as well as november 26. we are working with the counties to find out what their plans are on this front and as soon as possible so voters can make the best plans. this

moments but first let's go back to john berman, tell us about the new balance of power in the united states senate. >> the democrats now control 50 seats in the u.s. senate, the republicans with 49. this gives the democrats the majority, no matter what happens in georgia, where there will be a runoff on december six, of course, if the republicans to win in georgia, if walker beats warnock, it would go to 50-50 but democrats would still control the senate because the vice president, kamala harris, would break the tie and of course if raphael warnock, the senator wins there, the democrats will have 51 seats, and that one seat will matter. it would give democrats ever so slightly more dissipation on each committee, and there were times you will remember, that joe manchin and kiersten cinema, two senators, their votes were split, they wanted different things as joe biden and the white house is pushing for, something believe me, democrats very much want to win that runoff in georgia i think everyone got caught up in the moment because catherine cortez masto, she didn't just win nevada, victory is what

. >> please welcome the united states senator from south carolina, tim scott. ♪ sen.cott: thank you. thank you very much. rjc! [applause] i am certainly excited to be here. i am a big believer in psalms 122:6 -- pray for the peace of jerusalem, and those who do will prosper. that is are the most important scriptures. in all of the gospel. i believe american prosperity is woven together by the foundation that we are a strong ally of israel. i was thinking about this -- thank you. one person, thank you very much. [applause] i was thinking about why i am so passionate about israel and the jewish people. it didn't start when i became united states senator and did some work on antiracism and racism and discrimination. it didn't start then. it started when i was a little pup. it started when i was just in high school. i wasn't doing very well. i had this five foot tall, maybe she weighed 100 pounds, but it was a jewish lady who was my english teacher. i was trying to convince her that i deserved to pass her class. i had another teacher named misses greenberg, little jewish

so these senators know their states. and i will follow up on what scott said, which is, you know, republicans have spent a lot of time since 2020 talking about how untrustworthy voting can be, and that really hurt them in this election because that meant that the early voting advantage that democrats have spent the last -- literally the last month getting ballots in, getting people to drop off their battle at mail drop centers, et cetera, the republicans were depending on everybody going to the polls on election day. that is just not how it is done anymore. people need that flexibility. they like that flexibility, and democrats took advantage of it and republicans didn't as much. >> so, hilary, are you surprised how well the democrats seem to be doing right now? >> i'm surprised and thrilled that we're going to hold the senate. i think she is going to win. you know, i could not be more grateful my pessimism was unfounded around the senate. >> you know, one thing that think is interesting though is even though cortez mast

after graduating from the united states -- university of georgia, senator isakson served in both chambers of the georgia state legislature. in 1983 he rose to become republican leader of the georgia house of representatives, and in 1999, he succeeded newt gingrich as the u.s. representative for georgia's sixth congressional district to then serving as senator of georgia from 2005 to 2019. throughout his life, senator isakson distinguished himself as a man of character with unmatched dedication to the people of georgia, and i am proud to co-lead this legislation to dedicate the v.a.'s regional office in atlanta as a living monument to his tireless work in advancing the policies that benefit our nation's veterans. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new mexico seek recognition? >> madam speaker, i rise to address the floor for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. leger fernandez: madam speaker, today i rise for students. today, i rise for teachers and doctors. tod

i see some of the people that are going to walk into the united states senate, we have a lot of work to do in the united states of america and this family pledges whatever step is next for us, that we will continue to be in this fight. because it is too important. [applause] and as i look around, i see members of my extended family, my original campaign team 20 years ago. my staffers who worked with me for 20 years, we made, guys, i'm talking directly to you. we made this community a better place over the last 20 years. [cheers and applause] and we are proud of the work that we have done, the work continues. i will just end as i ended so many of my other speeches with what bobby kennedy said at the end of his speeches when he ran for president. i do not promise you comfort, but i will promise you this. i promise you weariness, hardship, and sacrifice. and with these, i will promise you victory. victory for america, victory for ohio, but most importantly victory for our kids and our grandkids. thank you so much, god bless you all. i love you guys. let's go get them. thank you. apprecia

talking about what an incredible honor it is to get to serve the people of ohio in the united states senateat an honor to run this campaign, win or lose i thought it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. what we need to do over the next couple of years, for the full length of this senate term who ever is in the majority, we have a very simple job to do. it's to go to work every single day and fight for the people of ohio, fight for our workers [applause] . fight for our families, fight for the people struggling with the opioid addiction, fight for the people, the single moms struggling to raise babies. we've got a great state and we have a great country i want to say something. we won a very good victory because of all of you but i want to say something whether you voted for me or not the thing that i promised to do is go to the united states senate and fight every single day for the people of ohio. thanks to you, we get the opportunity to do just that. [cheers and applause] [chanting] >> thank you. i can't help but to offer some reflection. every single person on this stage knew m

and i think we're going to have to have a conversation about that in the united states senate. do we want to continue to supply funding to law enforcement in counties that refuse to implement state and federal gun laws? red flag laws are wildly popular. you're temporarily taking guns away from people -- >> do you want to withhold money from law enforcement? >> i think we have to have a conversation about whether we can continue to fund law enforcement in states where they're refusing to implement these gun laws.

she and i created the african-american jewish coalition in the united states senate.ause] and together, together, this month we declared the month of november, the month where we celebrate jewish american contributions to this nation. because we understand that the power of our diversity is the strength of this great nation. and we must always stand up against every force that wants to divide us. and if we do our part, i believe that america's greatest days are without any question ahead of her. and the question i want to ask you is, will you rise with me? will you rise with me and fight against anti-semitism wherever it raises its ugly head? [applause] will you rise with me every time you see racism and discrimination anywhere in our nation? i said, will give rise to the occasion and make sure every american knows that we are serious about who we are? will you rise up and make sure that we are counted in the fight? this is not about 22 or 24. this is about the very soul of america. i believe in this nation because i have had the benefit of watching good people come t

you are a state senator, you could've stayed presumably in the state senate. what made you make the decision to take this risk and run for the house of representatives? >> i wanted to do all i could that we continue to make gains in congress. this race was really about sending a message. i'm glad to be going to congress to represent the 13th district, but we were able to send a message for any swing districts, this was a 50/50 see, that if you stand 100 percent pro trump. say you want to be a maga warrior, you are going to lose at the ballot box. for anyone else who stands with marjorie taylor greene, madison cawthorn, and the republican party, they made two okay in republican plus 20 districts, but we are going to reject them at the ballot box in swing districts like this one. >> do you know if it was helpful in your race to have cheri beasley running as strong a campaign as she did statewide for senate? >> i think absolutely. we won as you saw there just by little over two points. a lot of people came out to vote for cheri beasley and if she hadn't run such

, delivering the democratic majority in the united states senate. i'm not going to speak to what's going on in adam laxalt's campaign. i guess he'll have to do that for himself, but we're feeling pretty good right now. >> i covered senate majority leader harry reid when he was running for reelection back in 2010. i believe it was against an opponent sharon engel. i was out in las vegas at an event for harry reid. the race wassi itight. i asked him, are you concerned about things? he just looked at me with this funny look, like, there's no way i'm going to lose this race. his aides were so confident in turning out the vote in places like las vegas and clark county. do you get the sense that same kind of get the vote out effort is paying dividends this time around? >> absolutely. we have a strong coordinated campaign. make no mistake, nevada is a purple state. races are always tight here just as you said in the 2010 campaign where senator reid did win by a very small number. the path to the senate and the path to the presidency also runs through neneva

he says he's going to remain in his role as state senator fighting for the values he believes. and that as newsom now begins his second term as governor of the state of california reporting here in sacramento, eytan wallace kron. 4 >> turning our attention to the race for lieutenant governor for california. you have a lady kounalakis curley leading by 58% of the vote. and angela underwood, jacobs has 41.9% of the votes. and in the race for secretary of state. you have surely in weber who's leading the race by 58.5% of the vote. rob are no ski with 41.5% of the votes. now, let's take a look at the latest results for some of the state's propositions we've been following heading to proposition. 26, a majority of californians voted no for this prop at 70.3%. while 29.7% of voters voted in favor. this prop would allow date of american tribes to offer sports betting on tribal lands. all many voters also voting over proposition 27 with 83.6% of voters not in favor while 16.4% voted in favor. this prop would legalize sports betting via agreements with native american tribes. now to a pr

north carolina republicans did get that in the state senate, but they were stopped in the state housey one vote, by the slimmest of margins, north carolina democrats were able to hold the line there. that is why if we say you have to watch every race, you really do mean every race. >> i want to talk about michigan for a second, because last night, the first thing that happened. i think florida's early count has a weird effect on election night. >> it's like a joke. >> it comes back early, we get results early, and it's been turning republican. last night, if there was a florida at the democrats -- if there is a governor like ron desantis for democrats in terms of -- its gretchen whitmer. there are a lot of things that were into, not just whitmer. this is a tight state. this is a swing state. whitmer wins by ten, 11 points, it looks like. they sweep the statewide offices, they win both houses. this is a governor in gretchen whitmer that was targeted by the right from day one. she had donald trump looking at her. she had a plot busted by the fbi to literally kidnap her. they had armed p

a majority that could be expanded next month when voters in georgia head to the polls for that state senate runoff election. moments ago, senate majority leader chuck schumer celebrated. >> the election is a great win for the american people, with the races now called in arizona and nevada, democrats will have a majority in the senate, and i will once again be majority leader. this election is a victory, a victory and a vindication of democrats, our agenda, and for america and the american people. >> although control of senate has finally become clear, it may take weeks for us to find out which party will control the house. the latest nbc news projection has republicans at 209 seats to democrats 206 -- sorry 219 seats to democrats 216 seats. that estimate also comes with a margin of error of four seats, which means democrats are still in the game for house control. if you want to sign of how competitive things are right now, take a look at this result that came in in the last hour, and we see news projects democrat marie perez will defeat her republican opponent joe kent, flipping a house i

while holding on to the state house, many black women elected to the state senate for the first time added to those winds of course was a resounding victory for governor tim walz. and his reelection race so i met several times and the state attorney general there, while i worked in minnesota around the george floyd case. how do you assess the minnesota democratic sweep? >> well i want to shine a light on the exciting, a young at candidates. three black women who ran for the minnesota state senate and won and they were so exciting and zaynab out mohammed will now be the state representative for my family and my grandson. claire olmert her beaten was been elected and those young and talented organizers ran to turn out voters in democratic districts that contributed to the victory of governor walz and the attorney general, chief ellison. the man who prosecuted the murder of george floyd. this is a big moment. >> yes and you are right, he successfully prosecuted that case and took a lot of flak for it but the people reelected him. thank you for being with the senator tina smith of minneso

. >> herschel walker is neither ready nor fit to represent the people of georgia in the united states senate. >> reporter: more than 2.5 million georgians have already voted. close to 2 million more are expected to vote tomorrow, and polls suggest that the u.s. senate race here is one of the closest in the country, despite or in spite of months of bad press for republican herschel walker, who opposes abortion rights and has had two women come forward saying he paid for their abortions. walker is famous here for his college football days at the university of georgia, and during the school's big game in the weekend where uga won -- >> one more snap, and georgia goes to 9-0. >> reporter: -- both candidates spent more than $100,000 each airing ads. >> so i'm going to tell senator warnock, don't let that door hit you in the back side as you walk out of that room. that room don't belong to you, sir. that room belongs to the people. >> reporter: walker's ticket mate, governor brian kemp was on a plane arguing he's a better choice than stacey abrams. everyone from the top of the republican ticket ex

state and key to the 2000 election. it's now effectively the home base of the maga movement, led by wanna be president and current governor ron desantis. and failed presidential candidate and current senator marco rubio. now in the past two years, this state has led the country when incomes to banning books, banning thought, banning history, banning speech, and restricting access to voting for former felons. which happens to be a vestige of the jim crow era. at stake in this state is if desantis will maintain his stranglehold and use it for his 2024 presidential ambitions. if republicans can pick up five seats in florida alone, they can retake control of the house. and whether or not the person representing florida in the united states senate will help pass a nationwide ban on abortion. but oh, that's not all. florida voters will also decide who represents their interests on county commissions and school boards. they will choose whether to retain the state supreme court justices and whether to eliminate a group that can revise florida's constitution and more. like i said, the stakes could not be higher. we're going to be joined momentarily by congresswoman and senate candidate val demings

you are a state senator, you could've stayed presumably in the state senate. and run for the house of representatives? >> i wanted to do all i could that we continue to make gains in congress. this race was really about sending a message. i'm glad to be going to congress to represent the 13th district, but we were able to send a message for any swing districts, this was a 50/50 see, that if you stand 100 percent pro trump. say you want to be a maga warrior, you are going to lose at the ballot box. for anyone else who stands with marjorie taylor greene, madison cawthorn, and the republican party, they made two okay in republican plus 20 districts, but we are going to reject them at the ballot box in swing districts like this one. >> do you know if it was helpful in your race to have cheri beasley running as strong a campaign as she did statewide for senate? >> i think absolutely. we won as you saw there just by little over two points. a lot of people came out to vote for cheri beasley and if she hadn't run such a strong campaign, there's a chance i might not ha

and so there's a lot of work to yet do for californians. >> well, dolly is a state senator, so he won't be going anywhere remaining in the state capitol as newsom moves on to his second term in office. now to the race to replace a former santa clara county sheriff laurie smith, who retired during her 6 term just before she was found guilty of corruption. you have bob johnson and kevin jensen. they went head to head as top choices to replace smith. let's take a look at those results as they stand this morning. you've got bob jensen is winning with 52% of the vote to this time. now he was police chief of palo alto and menlo parks. police department. his top priorities are mental health response by pairing clinicians with police to respond to emergencies as well as transparency. he's endorsed by the san jose mercury news. and congresswoman anna eshoo, kevin ginseng has a 48% of the vote and he's worked with in the sheriff's department is captain overseeing the county jail. and as an assistant chief of the department of correction. now whoever wins has their work cut out for them to restore
