congress can stop that but congressman ted budd has not stopped that. he is helping it.s voted against lowering drug prices and gas prices while taking corporate money from oil and drug companies. it is important we work very hard and fight hard to lower costs because that is exactly what everybody here once in north carolina. congressman budd is not working for us. >> would you have voted for the spending packages if you were in congress? judge beasley: when we were in the middle of a pandemic and our economy was about to tank, the stimulus did help a whole lot of folks in north carolina. >> did the biden administration share any blame with the inflation issues we have now? judge beasley: i believe the president and congress could work a lotde

instead, ted budd supported a bill that would ban abortions nationwide and voted to overturn results election on january 6th. at this point, the one person congressman budd voted against the bipartisan infrastructure law, he voted against same-sex marriage protections and against gun safety and those are some of the ville some of his republican goggly colleagues had supported. instead, ted budd supported a bill that would ban abortions nationwide and voted to overturn results of the 2020 election on january 6th. at this point, the one person standing in ted's way on his path to the senate is cheri beasley, who would be the first black woman ever to represent north carolina in the upper chamber. beasley is a former state district court judge, a former state court of appeals judge, and she served as chief justice of the north carolina supreme court. she is currently polling just one point behind ted budd. joining us now, cheri beasley, democratic north carolina senate candidate. miss beasley, thank you for being here. so, i truly do believe that every senate race is the most important s

and i have been attacked by congressman ted budd and his allies. know that they have worked hard to distort my judicial record. we know i have been accused of taking corporate back money and i do not accept corporate pac money. he does and the things that they're saying about me and my candidacy are just false. it is a little strange,. i've been an elected official for over two decades. and folks here of had a real trust and confidence from my work and service. i would ask folks to please go to my website at sherry bees about compton know more about my candidacy. a clear choice in this race and we could have somebody who has shown that she does not stand for the buys of the state. we can have somebody who will stand for what is right, carla what is wrong and be courageous. >> cheryl beasley, if elected will be only the third black woman to serve and the united states senate ever. we will be watching this race and thank you very much for your time today for being here. coming, up the new reporting on the so-called split ticket voters. no one's vote

ted budd is a throwback to jesse helms, the most conservative nominee in of the last 26 years. s incredible contrast. richard burr, same thing as in the cliff, budd linked the democrat to an unpopular president, is that enough? >> it's not enough. what he's doing you learn about politics watching college football. watching north carolina, you see the ads that cheri beasley is running and what ted budd is running. he's running on crime. cheri beasley is a retired chief justice of the state court. you have two on the ballot, that is going to play harder than any other state and budd is going fully in on that. >> because they like the judge. doug hyde, morgan, appreciate your insight, keep in touch. >>> ahead for us, a former d.c. police officer releases tapes he secretly recorded during a meeting with house republican meter kevin mccarthy after january 6. from unitedhealthcare. medicare supplement plans help by paying some of what medicarare doesn't... and let you see any doctor. any specialist. anywhere in the u.s. who accepts medicare patients. so if you have this... consider ad

she is currently polling just one point behind ted budd.ic north carolina senate candidate. thank you for being here. so, i truly do believe that every senate race is the most important senate race in the country, but your race, in the last closing week of the campaign, it has been the thing that democrats are quite focused on. we know that senator schumer's pac has funneled, i think, $4 million into your campaign in recent days. what has your correspondents been with national democrats as you perhaps help them hold on to the upper chamber? >> we have been focused on our instinct, people power campaign. we knew this was gonna be a tough race, we have had tough fights before and i will not back down now. i am thankful that i had two successful contested statewide elections here in north carolina, and we are doing really well. there is a lot of enthusiasm and we've been traveling to a all hundred counties around the state talking about the things people care lot about. they care about lowering costs, and they're feeling everything from the pa

and not just narrative, but what you just showed about congressman ted budd is a modified position.ways been very clear, and he's leading the charge on an absolute ban for abortion without exceptions for rape, incest, or risk to a mother's health. and what we know is that, yes, there are women who are traveling from texas and louisiana and other states to north carolina to get an abortion. but we know that women who have experienced a sexual assault, these women will be forced to carry these pregnancies to term. septic uterus, miscarriage the body won't release, or ectopic pregnancies, it means women will be forced to carry these pregnancies which is impossible because the life-saving treatment for a woman with these conditions is an abortion. and it means women will die, which is absolutely unacceptable. i will fight when our freedoms are on the line, and i will fight to make sure that roe v. wade becomes the law of the land. >> you know, what's sort of fascinating about it, for instance, florida has an abortion ban at 15 weeks with no exceptions for rape and incest. so north carol

but representative ted budd is not that kind of lawmaker.f the most conservative members in the house with a 98% lifetime score from heritage action and the club for growth. congressman budd voted against the infrastructure law. he voted against same sex marriage protections and against gun safety. those are some of the about ills that some of the republican colleagues have supported. instead, he co-sponsored a bill that would ban abortions nigs wide after 15 weeks of pregnancy and he voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election on january 6. at this point, the one person standing in ted budd's way, in the path to the senate, is sherry beasley. who will be the first black woman to ever represent north carolina in the upper chamber. she is a former district state judge and court of appeals judge and served as chief justice of the north carolina supreme court. she is currently polling just one point behind ted bud. joining us now is sherry beasley, north carolina democratic senate candidate. thank you for being here. >> thank you, alex.

and believing she is the best behind and most polling behind the ted budd. she still has a chance to pull this off. as if he'd more women but even you know, young people and more broadly not just women. really reengage in the midterms. types of voters who often are thought to not pay attention and these kinds of cycles. start to get involved because of what is at stake here. lindsey? >> antonia hilton thank you so much. breaking overnight in and there was no, no accord has overruled the states abortion ban. the procedure will not be allowed unless the state supreme court jumps into intervene. the ruling comes as tight battles in the state for governor and u.s. senate continue, just weeks ahead of the midterms. joining me right now with more 's von hill in phoenix. you are at a woman's march on abortion rights on. what has been the reaction overnight there to the overturning in the ban? >> right, lindsey it's a situation where the policy is playing out in realtime with the backdrop of the politics. four days from, now early ballots are going into the mailboxe

ted budd would not answer questions about what he thinks in terms of abortion restrictions on legislation listen to some of what happened last night. >> i've denounced violence from day one, weathers in washington d.c., or whether it is the riots that my opponent was encouraging all across our state and our country in 2020. and i think believe that whether it's between washington d.c. at the capitol, downtime, rally or downtown, charlotte i wanted to announce her. i would encourage my pointed to the same thing. >> congressman but has been very clear and said that he supports and is leading the charge on an absolute ban on abortion. without exceptions for rape, incest, we risk to a mother's health. the bottom line, as a congressman but wants to be in between a woman and her doctor. and there is no place in the same room for congressman bed. >> what we're finding here and on the ground and north carolina, while bud remains a bit ahead of cheri beasley. some of the calculus here has changed. there are new voters who come into the fold and democrats cooley think of this race a still winnable.

i think ted budd is the favorite right now but he is a very narrow favorite.olls that were neck and neck, neck and neck, and then finally in, the last couple weeks, we've seen a couple where but does have a real edge. i think the big national dynamics, abortion versus inflation, biden versus trump, we are seeing the same thing play out here in this state. it was just described by the head of the gop as a true purple state. >> again, i think it is so interesting i think you are basically at this point, you enter a point where some of the party infrastructure and campaign infrastructure, they know that there are voters who are tuning in now, who are not the nerves we are who've been following it for the last six months. there are certain voters who show up and say, who is winning? who's going to be the winner here? and they go with that energy. now it benefits campaigns to have that message out there, that they are the ones, that they are the winners. christopher, we have seen a surge of new voter registration, particularly among women, democrats following the r

democrats have thought it might be the sleeper race for them, ted budd, the republican, against sherryeasley, the democrat. it is an open seat. there is no incumbent running. is this a chance for democrats or not? scott: i thought over the summer it could have been. he is a trump guy, but not a crazy trump guy, but he has not raised any money. here you have one of the key states like north carolina, on labor day, the budd campaign was not even on the air. unheard of. every candidate goes on the air on labor day in every state, even in kansas. this surprised me because i thought it would become a race. beasley has not come out of the blocks very well, the democrat running, and i think budd is a winner. just the flow of -- gerald: does the flow of money into the state suggest other people are drawing that conclusion as well? scott: mcconnell has put $30 million or $35 million into this race. gerald: he recognizes they are not going to run a competent campaign, so if anybody owes a debt to him after election day, it is ted budd. scott: they have raised half a billion dollars, and they hav

republican congressman ted budd faces shry beazley, a democrat.f to beery is the capital chief covering the race and he joins us now. from your vantage point on the ground, what is the state of this race right now? jeff: it is relatively sleepy if we are being honest. compared to 2014 and 2020 when at the time north carolina had the most expensive u.s. senate races in the history of the country. compared to the amount of spending we have seen in some other states, pennsylvania and georgia, it is relatively quiet. john: relatively sleepy this is a democrats the -- a race of democrats have high hopes for. why should they be hopeful for this race? jeff: this is as close to a 50-50 state as you are going to find in the country. it is slightly right of center, to be clear. but at the same time there is a two-term democratic governor here and the margins are such that we have seen some extremely close races. easily the democrat in this race lost a bid for state justice of the supreme court two years ago. there were millions of votes cast. she lost by 43

. >> reporter: beasley's opponent, congressman ted budd, supports federal abortion restriction, but believeslection will hinge on the economy. republican pollster paul schumaker says there's little upside for g.o.p. candidates to engage on the issue of abortion. >> keep the discussion about the economy. don't have a discussion about the abortion issue because, quite frankly, he runs the risk of stepping on his base's enthusiasm for turning out. >> reporter: and turnout will be key in a tight race with the balance of power on the line. caitlin huey-burns, cbs news, raleigh, north carolina. >> dickerson: the search for victims continues in the aftermath of hurricane ian. we'll have an update on storm- ravaged florida when we return. e return. ...when it comes to our skin, what if it could feel differently? say hello to opzelura for the treatment of mild to moderate eczema. opzelura is a steroid-free cream proven to help clear skin and significantly reduce itch. do not start opzelura if you have any infection as it may lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you are being treated

the republican candidate is congressman ted budd. people assume that the republican is going to win. here is rcp average between you and your opponent beasley. 45 for you, 43.5 for her. that's pretty close. then you have call for number three the top issues for north carolina voters what alex was talking about. economy, threats to democracy, abortion, healthcare, crime not figuring in there. >> we're hearing crime. in the debate last friday night it exposed my opponent for how anti-law enforcement she actually is. she can't admit that the border is a crisis when she was given three times by the moderator to talk about our southern border. >> bill: here is part of that debate from i believe it was friday. friday night? roll this clip. >> the president and congress could work a lot harder to make sure that prices are being lord. >> we need to get back to encouraging energy. day one joe biden shut down the keystone pipeline. beasley will be a rubber stamp. >> i will fight for roe v. wade. >> my opponent is up for abortion, supporter of

ted budd will make the sale i will support him. the bolduc race in new hampshire.eek. he is moving the dial in the right direction. supporting them, next week we'll close the argument. i will be headed to nevada, headed to arizona. again the masters race and race for adam laxalt are close enough i think we'll take those states. i see momentum. i feel it. i want to be there to help my colleagues make that sale. neil: nothing against either party doing that with big guns. you certainly qualify in that from your party sir, but give you a sense what you're safing with the senate. the house look like, i never want to take that leap, a pretty good bet for republicans. the senate a little less so. but how do you see things stacking up, whether you wait until a runoff election in george today, for example if that is what it comes to do decide its makeup, what do you think? >> neil, i feel momentum. we're pushing momentum. i've a site out, block bidden.com. if you want to block biden, turn our country back around, help us move this across the line. i feel confident if we ke

a fine race but not a race that is yet compelled voters to come out, and that's why i think ten ted budd is a little bit ahead. democrats have not won a senate race in north carolina since 2008 when barack obama was on the ballot for president. i think the challenge in north carolina for democrats is to really focus peoples attention on this. she has been elected as a judge, a race that flies under the radar, a senate race is different thing. >> but this is my home state, we'll see if it actually is the midterm country are not. i want to go back to georgia for a second. because the other panelist talking about george, and they played the ad for senator raphael warnock, but there's a different ad that was playing today. it was herschel walker with somebody georgia knows quite well. it's vince duly was a part of this, he's a legendary coach. here it is. >> he is not a cool politician. there is a need in this country in this state for somebody like herschel. knowing him, the character that he has, he will make a great united states senator. >> so scott, bring this home as to why you thought

sharey beasley who is really soft on crime in north carolina in a really important race against ted buddr events that he's hosting, obviously it feels a little desperate and a little too late for the democratic party. and it just shows how out-of-touch biden is, and so many of the candidates don't want biden on the campaign trail with them so when they have their list of optionses they actually go to the former president barack obama. it's really revealing, maria. maria: yeah. it sure is. rob astorino, jump in here. >> what is not getting said is some of the states like illinois where pritzker is around 50% in polling, california, newsom is at 55, he should be at 65, that has a massive down-ballot effect which really isn't been talked about. if in the deep blue states the governors are barely above water, that means republicans will win seats that aren't expected to win. i think it will be 35 plus. that's a story that's not being told. >> yeah. i actually agree with that. the trend lines of the governor races, especially because there's so many that overlap with the senate seats, is goin

>> we're watching very closely ted budd in north carolina.- he has has now about a 4 point lead. i think that's one where republicans keep it with a very good new senator. we're also watching utah which is a surprise now at the end. but evan mcmullen is running at a, quote, independent but he's really a democrat because they didn't put anybody up and he has said he won't necessarily caucus with the republicans to mike lee is making the point, if we want to keep a republican majority in the senate, and not a democrat, not chuck schumer in control, then vote for mike lee. and that message is now starting to resonate there in utah where i think he's going to bring it together in the closing two weeks. the tough one that we're supporting is arizona with blake masters. maria: yes. we'll be watching that of course as well. david, good to see you this morning. thanks very much, david mcintosh joining us. quick break and shocking new numbers from the southern border, it shows 2.3 million illegal crossings in just one fiscal year. what you need to kno
