stage because of the politicalization of our national security apparatus by the government gain in washington dc need to rid washington of them. there is only one way to do it, you have to replace them. adam is law enforcement, he is a menace -- military servicemen. he has provided for your state. he knows when he goes to washington, he is not going for the glorification of his own ego. too many people do that so they can see themselves on tv. adam wants none of that. what he wants as a first generation about an is to restore this state, reduce crime, and educate our children with things that we believe. not crt and gender dynamics. that is an education system worth fighting for. it will not happen unless you go republican across the board. we are here for adam tonight, and i know you guys are holding the signs. you have to take the message. the only thing that will win this race, because the fake news mafia does not want america first values. they do not want you to put law enforcement first, they do not want to seal our southern border. anybody that tells you it is not an invasion on our south

he is in washington dc. it's good to see both of you in just let me start with you . history is on the side of the republicans in these mid term elections. the party that controls the white house, the democrats, this time almost always loses seeds in the mid terms. is history going to repeat itself? in 2022 it's very likely brand just as you the showed us on the, on the map that normally the party which is in power loses at the house. and this is likely to happen this year again. but what is really interesting here in the state of arizona, which is so crucial, is one of these crucial states in the midterm, said a 3rd of all electrons are voters already accosted their mail in ballads before yesterday. and normally this is mainly democrats were due early voting so therefore, republicans are really in high alert and carry lake the, the, a republican, a candidate for governor, just costed her a ballot here behind me in this building. and she, as did donald trump already kind of try to hint out if the republican stones, when that's because they had such a hard time today,

this group of students here at the university had gone on a field trip to see a play in washington, dcly the shooting occurred when they got back. the suspect who is now in custody, his name is christopher darnell jones. as you said, a football player from 2018. though, we don't know if he ever played. he certainly didn't play during that year. he has been charged, we're told, with three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of using a fire arm in the commission of a felony with other charges pending. the three people who died are all members of the football team. two others have been injured, one in good condition, one in critical condition. very sad day here at the university of virginia. john? >> sad indeed. joe johns, appreciate your staying on top of it for us. thank you. >>> back to washington and politics, republicans facing giant leadership questions in the house and to a lesser degree the senate after a disappointing moment. pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin lead that list. massachusetts and maryland also elected democrats to replace retiring republican governors

and we're going to bring in now d, w correspondent, mikaela curse not from washington, dc. hi mikaela. as i said, a somewhat unexpectedly strong showing for the democrats what struck you most of the results role in or 1st of all, that there is no shoot red wave really to speak of. if anything, we are seeing what is seen as a fixture at the historical fiction, us politics, that there is traditionally almost a setback for the party who the president belongs to in these midterm elections. and most spectacularly we saw actually of the democrats score, a decisive senate victory with don ferryman winning in pennsylvania, a vital senate race against dr. oz. as he's known me mate oz, a well known tv doctor here in the united states, john pheasant winning despite the fact that he suffered a stroke early on in the campaign and looked really doubtful whether he is indeed fully fit to serve in a tv debate. he had with minute off, so that is a spectacular victory. and many democrats drew hope from that. now we're still seeing many open races, but we've also seen, based on the figures yo

so let's bring in some reason has gone to our correspondent in washington dc. so me good to see you there. in modern u. s. politics, we know the president's party almost always takes a battering in mid term elections. so how is it looking for the democrats in the house and the senate this year? you might have guessed it, not very good. it has been really an up and down year. so at the start of the year appeared very clear that the republicans would sweep both houses of congress that they would take the house of representatives and the senate as well. but this summer the democrats really did pick up a lot of steam in it, look more and more like they would hold on to the senate that they might even be competitive in the house of representatives. especially after that, supreme court ruling that overturned roe v wade to the right to constitutional right to an abortion that really energized a lot of democratic voters. but really just in the last month or 2 republicans have picked up a lot of momentum in a critical races in states like nevada and in pennsylvania and

see there was kimberly nature more there reporting caroline to joins me now from our studio in washington dc. it's good to see you, carolina. i want to talk about a president by to just a moment, but let's talk about politics in general. in the us. there is a very, a large number of elderly, older, older baby boomers in american politics. what explanation have you heard, or what explanation can you give for that type of demographic being empower so long? love rent us, you know, getting into a u. s. poly takes is quite expensive. it can cost up to millions to start a political campaign year in the united states. and this is one of the reasons, but also once of this, people get in there and they're in the congress representing their constituencies. they a tend to, to stay there because there is no term limit. so this is why we see this baby boomers are as to just call them in the congress. but this is slowly changing because some candidates and we've seen that in this years, a mid term elections have been able to get into congress a with a crowd funding models or grass roots organizations for

he is in washington dc. it's good to see both of you in his let me start with you. history is on the side of the republicans in these midterm elections. the party that controls the white house, the democrats, this time almost always loses seats in the mid terms. is history going to repeat itself in 2022? it's very likely brand just as you the showed us on the, on the mad that normally the party which is in power loses at the house. and this is likely to happen this year again. but what is really interesting here in the state of arizona, which is so crucial, is one of these crucial states in the midterm, said a 3rd of all the lectures. all a voters already accosted their mail in ballads before yesterday. and normally this is mainly democrats who do early voting so therefore, republicans are really in high alert and carry lake the, the, the republican a candidate for governor, just costed her a ballot here behind me in this building. and she, as did donald trump already kind of try to hint out if the republicans don't wind. that's because they had such a hard time tod

she was in washington dc that morning. we are learning the list of potential other targets include a local professor and state and federal politicians. while court documents do not name the possible targets, a did make reference to the threats. >> not only is this someone who engaged in a preplanned attack on the speaker in her home, but someone who was willing to enact violence that was politically motivated. kumasi: during a court hearing yesterday, the suspect, david depape, pleaded not guilty to six felony charges. he is being held without bail in the san francisco county jail. reggie: as more details become clear, local elected leaders are responding. lena howland live in san francisco. many are warning we should tone down the political rhetoric fueling threats of violence. >> that's right. after the attack on paul pelosi in the middle of the night here inside of his pacific heights home, calls from other local political leaders and national political leaders as well continue to grow in terms of putting out calls for

we need a fighter in washington dc. it is neither katrina nor john. dr.hristiansen: i want to comment on the hypocrisy here. they are talking about the narrative that those who are having relief are the same as those who paid their student loan. what is super unfair is i didn't have any say who got ppe loans. the reality is, john didn't do anything to fight the cost of tuition in north dakota when he was governor. what did he do to lower interest rates? we essentially of senate and congressional members who have abdicated their roles fixing those problems to the executive branch and the supreme court. biden has to do something when they will not. >> john. sen. hoeven: again if katrina's method is unfair to forgive some people's loans. you need to go back to the simple fact that you need to pay one way or another, you will pay for your own education or for your taxes, you will pay for other people's education where you of no control. as far as these elected bureaucrats, i cosponsored 12 different bills in the covid mandate. this is why it's so important th

i think americans would like to see a page turned in washington dc.ne of the things that i think has been so problematic is that members have been disenfranchised. everything goes to the leadership, whether it's nancy pelosi on the democrat side or whoever is going to be the republican leader. everything the centralized as far as power. you have a restricted process. in six years, we have not had an open amendment process. how about the budget? you need to empower the appropriators. you either get rid of the appropriations committee and change it, i'm ok with doing that. or you get the appropriators time to get the job done before june first. let's actually do a budget. if you haven't done that in five years, we haven't done in normal budget process. i talked a lot about process. that is my pitch. process could be more inclusive of members so they could represent their constituency. the other aspect is this, on the republican side, when we lost in 2020, we came close. but we did not get over the hump. we had such a good election, we may progress so we

are, and it's bringing adult franco, he's a republican party strategist to join us live from washington, dc. adults a good job with us. so let's go observe. as i've already saying this is the best mid term performance of any sitting party in 20 years. this nevada result, as my comment was just saying, there is a huge blow for the republicans, isn't it? oh, yes, it certainly is. there was no red way. then we had certainly picked that as our most promising pickup. there's no question about it. i, i do take the exception that with your reporter, if the republicans do indeed take the house, a representative. i don't think the president is going to be able to move his agenda affectively because the house is run very much tightly, almost exclusively by the party in control. so it would be very difficult for the president to at vast any agenda if the republicans indeed hold the house. i don't, as you are saying that many analysts have predicted this republican red wave of votes that would have routed the democrats. it never happens. why do you think voters punish the republicans? was it because of

i white house correspondent kimberly hawk it is standing by in washington dc. but 1st we go to alan fish on capitol hill. so alan, what are we watching for as a result, stop coming in and just a few hours. what are the early bad weather to watch the yearly places you go to keep an eye on for me. the 1st one is the indiana 1st congressional district. my know assigned to exciting is one of the places where they will close the polls. adderly at the last time the election was held, the democratic congressman won by 3 points at the that the dynamics of slightly moving there. and if he loses to the republican, then it could be a very long night for the democrats. we're also going to look at virginia 2 seats in the south of the state and one a closer to washington d. c. at the, the democratic congresswoman there early laria and jennifer wax them is the one near washington dc and abigail spun burger, all considered reasonably moderate by many people. and if they lose them, we know we are facing a potential red wave and it's almost certain then that the republicans are

and fisher joins is now life in washington, dc. alan, we heard there are lots of people, hugely concerned about the economy and despite joe biden, coming out and saying that this is election, this election was all about defending democracy. is it really the bread and butter issues that are dominating this mid term? of both parties are going to try and hit that, that topics that they believe will generate enough support to get their bees out to vote. because that who is traditionally votes in the mid term elections, the base of the party. and so joe biden realizes that talking about the threat to democracy than really well for him. 2 years ago when he beat donald trump in the presidency. but in that time that he's been in office, we have seen inflation go up. we've seen the cost of gas go up. things are much harder for everyone. and so people want to hear how he is going to combat that because in the words of what is a political clichy in america, people vote with their wallets. it's about the economy. stupid is what they said very famously by bill clinton. and so that's what it comes down

all right, so my kind of life was there in washington dc. mike, thank you. are in the spring and not john nichols is a political writer at the nation that joins us live from madison in wisconsin. john good to abbey, back with a. so nevada is a race, as mike was saying that it went right down to the wire. president biden, and the democrats would be extremely happy with this result. absolutely, this is incredibly good news for president. what it means is that on a number of levels, he will now have the power to continue to govern something that he would have lost in many senses. if the republicans had taken the senate, for instance, with democratic control of the u. s. senate president biden's appointments to the high courts are supreme court, as well as to the federal courts and to cabinet positions in bassinger ships. other jobs can now be approved in a way that they might not have been approved by a republican senate. so right off the bat, that is a big deal. also, whether the republicans take the house of representatives or not. because the democrats have
