all vermonters that i speak to want to make sure that this right is in trying to. >> your state, vermont, also has a history of becoming the first state to enshrine abortion rights in its constitution. and during your time as a vermont state senate majority leader, you assured in legal protections for abortions, including this newly-passed legislation. it's been reported that some of your colleagues did not see the urgency for abortion legislation. but you correctly predicted that the end of federal abortion protection was near. how do you plan on fighting for abortion rights in your newly elected position in the u.s. house? >> well certainly, two things that are so important to me is making sure that we codify roe, but also we have to deal with the hyde amendment, which has really been hampering our ability to make sure that everybody has access to reproductive rights. what is heartening to me is that we were able to pass this measure, this reproductive liberty constitutional amendment in vermont, and other states are also looking to enshrine these rights. i think that voters spoke acro

we pay our bills here in vermont.: as time moves on, as senator sanders, senator lahey retires, do you suggest the democratic party will move to a national center, away from a more east coast and west coast liberality? peter: let's define that. what has worked for us, what has worked for the national democratic party, is to have a commitment to the environment, understanding there has to be partnerships between government and the private sector, in order to get things done. frankly, i think that is what you see with the inflation reduction act with climate change. a lot of tax incentives that will help to create a market dynamic. there is a good deal of civic cooperation here in vermont. people here listen more than they talk. when we disagree with somebody we don't assume bad motives. i think the way we do things in vermont, we have a republican governor, democratic, independent in bernie sanders in congress, about that mutual -- but that mutual respect is what we need. certainly, we don't have election deniers here

in vermont, the first woman to first openly lgbtq+ candidate i never want to congress. she was elected to the house to fill the seat held by peter welch who was elected to the senate to replace patrick lahey. in maryland, voters elected democrat wes moore who will become maryland's first black governor. meanwhile in arizona, democrat katie hobbs is leading and the governor's race against republican kari lake. in arizona's closely watched race, secretary -- election deniers running to oversee election. cnn reports election deniers won sec. state races in alabama, south dakota, and wyoming. one of tuesday nights big winners was abortion rights. vermont, michigan, and california all voted to enshrine the right to an abortion in their states' constitutions. in kentucky, voters rejected a ballot measure that sought to amend the state constitution to say there is no right to abortion. state lawmakers have already passed a near-total ban on abortion in kentucky, but the measure would have made challenging the ban even more difficult. in montana, with over 80% of ballots counte

>> so much good news here in vermont. we have been working on our reproductive liberty amendment for five years. to have vermont come out so strongly in support of reproductive free don'doms was confirmation of the work i did in the statehouse. it was an amazing race because a lot of people said we couldn't do what we did. i'm the child of an immigrant, a working class mom. as you said, i'm openly gay. former schoolteacher. so many reasons why people didn't think we would be able to pull this off. we really tapped into this feeling that vermonters had that they wanted a message of courage and kindness and really trying to pull our communities back together. it was a broad coalition that we put together. i couldn't be more proud of the race that we ran. >> what are your thoughts about the house you are likely to enter, which is likely to be red? we don't know by what margin. there's going to be an outsized influence by all of the election deniers in that group, some very conservative and extreme members of the house right

they have elected a becca blunt, who will become a congresswoman from vermont. and if that wasn't enough on a night of historic firsts in vermont, they have also voted to enshrined the right to abortion in the states constitution and done so by a margin of 76 to 24. so quite a significant night there you were talking about ohio. the predictions are that g d . vance. well, when there he was up against that to congressman ryan, from ohio, who really kind of talked about the economic hardship. many ordinary americans were facing, wasn't the message that the democrats were, were on board with very early on. they were talking about the threat to democracy and abortion rights. but he talked about economic issues. and he believed that that was one way to connect with voters in somewhere like a higher at he certainly done better than specter. but it looks as if ged vance who was backed by donald trump, a will secured the seat. they're not confirmed yet. and another interesting thing, and this is going to be very interesting. and did you remember that last night there wa

the projected winners in new york, illinois, connecticut, maryland, and vermont. as bring in my aberice executive director of the arab american institute, i'm a representative at yellow vote. as i'm voter mobilization organizations, he joins us from washington, d. c. i winner. and he wants to talk about mobilization of voting and we will get on to it. that's what we've got to address that. we're saying some fast tonight, aren't we in the ballot box? we are, and that's always exciting to see. i think when we make some groundbreaking moves and i'm, i'm a maryland voters, are seeing our 1st african american elected governor is certainly exciting. what do you think of the vote over or do you think it's going according to how the polls suggested that it was going to no, i think perhaps the only place that that's what's playing out today is florida on the rest of the country. i think most political pundents were smart enough to say on this idea of a red wave. it is a little too early to predict on. if you look at the poland going into the election day, most of it was wi

i just got off the flight from vermont. i was not actually supposed to be here with all of these amazing people. the conventional wisdom in my state was that i did not have a shot. i was a scrappy little queer lady. i did not have powerful connections. i did not have a clear path to victory when we started. 7% name recognition. what i did have was an amazing team that believed that i could do this if i got in front of enough vermonters and spread and message of courage and strength and hope and organize working people and brought so many regular people into this movement who did not believe that they had a voice. and i am the current president of the senate in vermont, first woman to ever do that, first queer person to ever do that. and i cannot tell you how many times hearing my colleagues here , i have been so choked up. all of us have similar narratives. i am the child of an immigrant and a working-class mom. i am someone who never imagined as an openly gay person that i could do this. my only role model was a man named

michigan and california and vermont vermont there are propositions on the ballot that would enshrineuctive rights in the constitution. it will be interesting to watch those in the abstract. i mean, or in themselves and also how they match to the votes in the rest of the states and everything else that is on the ballot. all right, we've got much more to come this election night. i believe we've got a shot here of mcallen, texas. big lines in mcallen in south texas. texas is one of the only states in the country where early voting numbers actually didn't keep pace, didn't set a record compared with the last midterm in 2018. whether or not that maps itself to their being large a larger numbers of people on election day, we'll see. this is the line in mcallen. stay with us. scenarios in mcallen. stay with us scenario ♪ ♪ keep it fresh with colorful cookware. whip up holiday treats with ease. slice and dice with the best of them. and with wayfair, you can express yourself. ♪ ♪ wayfair, holiday your heart out. ♪ wayfair, you've got just what i need ♪ detect this: living with hiv, i learned

voters in vermont and california also will be voting.ill talk more about these ballot initiatives and more, joined by chris melody fields figueredo, the executive director of the ballot initiative strategy center. let's start with abortion and we will move on to gun control, voting rights, etc. what is going on and where are these ballot initiatives being voted on? >> thank you for having me on the show. abortion is absolutely on the ballot. you already mentioned michigan, reproductive freedom for proposal 3. in trying the right to an abortion in the state constitution. it also looks at pre-and postnatal care. the right to contraceptive. we have vermont that is protecting guaranteeing the right to an abortion in the state constitution. california as well. in kentucky, proposal similar to what we saw in kansas that would ban abortion and in montana we have a proposal that would further criminalize and stigmatize abortion as well. abortion is on the ballot. i think one of the important things to remember going into tomorrow is what is happ

moving up into new hampshire and across into what will become vermont. he describes the various towns and peoples on this track. they move out in three divisions, essentially what would have been three battalions within the regiment itself as they saw it, moving up first through to springfield, massachusetts. at springfield, hawkins records, at daybreak on 14 april, all three divisions marched out followed by the baggage train. he records eight wagons, 21 teams, 21 teams to be pulling these wagons. those have to be really heavy wagons. and they definitely are, because what is on them? loaded with spades, shovels, axes, picks, carbines, horseman swords, pistols, and other military storage. carpenters tools, armors tools, provisions. they are out to really cut this road, and they are taking all the tools with them. so think for a minute what that would look like to the communities through which this baggage train is going with these soldiers in these three divisions, who may not have seen a lot of soldiers up to this point. they are moving through. this is

of the votes and, and how they were reviewing whether or not they would vote for the democrats in vermont this evening. they have enshrined the right term barshan in the states constitution that has passed on a vote that was on the ballot in vermont. so that will now go into the the states constitution. so few interesting reasons. one other one to point out in north carolina, the senate race was considered to be the open. senate c richard bar retired. he was a republican. that was expected to be a safe republican seat. and certainly early on new, we're seeing it looked as if ted, but the republican was going to win that seat. that has no been moved into too close to call. so that suggests that the democrats are doing much better. there's an expect and over all that, we'll give the democrats some hope that perhaps the polls were really wrong and they are going to do much better than they were than expected. they're just talking about how she's very briefly before we go to remember when brock obama was in his 1st term. in the mid terms, he lost 63 host seats. donald trump last 41. both of t

there's been a win for peter walsh and vermont. he's a democrat and he's taking over from a long standing democratic senator there. what is very interesting, if you, with is an hour ago, we were talking about the seats to watch, which could give us a natalie indication of how the evening is going for the democrats on one of the seats were highlighted. was that of abigail span burger? don't culpepper county? we down in virginia itself, and we suggested that if she was losing it could be a very bad night for the democrats. well, the alley result suggests that she is running 3 points better than joe biden did. in the election 2 years ago, which suggests she's on her way to holding on to that seat. no, she seen as a moderate democrat if she holds on that will be regarded as good news for the democrats. one of the big pulls on the eve of the election, the crystal ball polls in the university of virginia, suggested a 25 seat majority for the republicans in the house. and suggesting that the senate was perhaps going to go to the republica
