people in rural wisconsin are struggling with the scott holes, the potholes across the state of wisconsin. the transportation infrastructure deficit. we get the dnc, we established in addition to increasing our , investment in the state parties, we established a $10 million innovation grant programs focused on three areas. base voter engagement. millennial engagement. and rural voter engagement. so we made a six-figure investment in georgia. and by the way, those three are not mutually exclusive. we made a six-figure investment in georgia, in the rural organizing of african-american voters. why? by the way, we did this long before we knew who the nominee would be, but suspecting it would be stacey abrams. and a third of voters who are african-american and georgia reside outside major metropolitan areas. we were not touching them in statewide elections, historically, and through this we learned a lot about how to engage. in texas, we spent a lot of time in the rural parts of the state. because if you look at why democrats are losing in texas, why democrats are losing in wisconsin, it is be

>> no, i'm not surprised. >> why, wisconsin?consin. >> reporter: and you see this race, walker has had ads up since may. he's warned in the winter, back in early this year that a blue wave is at risk of washing through wisconsin. so he has taken this race seriously. you look at the results. it just looks like evers overperformed. he overperformed in dane county, in madison, in milwaukee, and walker underperformed in the wow counties, the counties that surround milwaukee. he didn't pull the 70% margins in 2014 when he coasted relatively to reelection. >> no coasting last nightful we have another race to call just moments ago, the governor's race in alaska, going republican, mike dunleavy wins the race. a former congressman from florida, david jolly, go to you first, charlie sikes, last night in your home state of wisconsin, scott walker, i mean, this is president trump's home boy. just a few months ago the two of them talking foxconn, the thousands of jobs that are coming there, there's not thousands of jobs coming. and the jobs

and want to northwest wisconsin early in the job -- went to northwest wisconsin early in a job. one voters that i am politically homeless because you had not shown up in years. those were his words. i took that to heart. that is why we invested early and everywhere in wisconsin. in partnership with the democratic party of wisconsin and other stakeholders. it paid dividends. what we have to do a better job of in ohio is talking to voters in the rule parts of the state. parts of the state. the strength of donald trump in 2016 was rural ohio. that was a continuing strength i suspect in 2018. your questions are somewhat linked. beto made tremendous progress in helping democrats compete in texas. i spoke to rural voters who said it was hazardous to my health to put a yard sign for a democrat and my yard living in rural texa s. one woman got a call from her local mortgage banker who held the mortgage on her house saying i see you have assigned for a democrat on your yard. , the pretty remarkable world of being a democrat in certain parts of the country. and we are changing that. beto

pleasant, wisconsin, just south of pleasant, wis wir wisconsin. shaquille? >> hello there, ali. speaker ryan just wrapped up with the man who he wants -- who he wants to replace him in congress. they were here talking with supporters and volunteers. i was able to ask speaker ryan how he feels on the eve of this election day. listen to what he had to say. >> how do you think you guys are doing? >> i think we're doing all right. we're holding our own. midterms are tough ones. i think we're holding our own. >> and this here in wisconsin, there's, of course, this local race here, wisconsin one, where ryan is campaigning for style. eavers and baldwin were campaigning together. baldwin running for senate. listen to what tony eavers said about the national attention they've been getting visits from president obama, vice president pence. listen to what they said about an impending possible blue wave here. >> if there's a blue wave, let's have it. in wisconsin, it's around health care. it is around making sure that people are protected and have a good education system. if that's a blue w

in wisconsin this year, democrats actually did great. democrats sort of ran the table in wisconsin. and this actually shows the democratic votes and the republican votes for all the statewide races that were on the ballot in wisconsin this year. so secretary of state in wisconsin, the democrat got more votes. the democrat won. state treasurer, the democrat got more votes. the democrat one. state attorney general, the democrat won. the u.s. senator, the tammy baldwin seat, she got way more votes, she won in a landslide. and of course, governor scott walker lost his seat, replaced in the governor's mansion in wisconsin by tony evers, after the democratic candidate got more votes. democrats did great. they won every statewide race in wisconsin. and now look at this. this is the story of our time. while democrats were busy sweeping every statewide race in wisconsin, they also absolutely swept the state assembly. so, this is people voting for their state legislator. way more people went to the polls in wisconsin on election day in wisconsin and voted for a democrat for their state legisl

the southern wisconsin district used to be a 50-50 district. he became more republican over the time he held it because of redistricting. the party made it more republican and also the cross currents in wisconsin. ,t was not a typical district modern-day republican district. it has three democratic cities. janesville, racine, and kenosha. one of those has a significant african-american appellation. they are part of his constituency. -- population. they are part of his constituency. they may be did not necessarily vote for him, but he had relationships and dialogue with these people. citydwellers, and which is not true of a lot of house republicans. i think that also played into that side of paul ryan, the outreach side. is trying to have a conversation with the people you disagree with without it devolving into a food fight. host: let's go to marlene in north carolina, independent. caller: good morning. i'm listening to this. don't laugh, my family thought in the revolutionary war. -- fought in the revolutionary war. if they were alive, they wo

in wisconsin they will train wisconsin workers. they are going to improve their skill set in wisconsin schools. they don't have the skill set now but they will in a couple years to get the high-paying jobs. when you get high-tech companies in your community it's great for spawning new growth. because the skill set in the communiti' is good as well. liberals argued against donald trump. he reduces taxes and lower regulations. the liberals are hitting him for that as jobs are coming back from jeff seas. donald trump did the same thing and they bash him every single day. lower taxes, less regulation, big companies, small come any, and more jobles for our country. i don't think they understand what impact the taxes and regulations have. and i think it would be great if amazon had looked elsewhere and we didn't see northern virginia, a suburb of d.c. and new york city. if they had gone to mitch mcconnell or kansas city or somewhere else in the midwest, that would have been great. but amazon was wonderful in making different cities aroun

we picked up seven, including kansas and wisconsin. wisconsin was especially sweet. we did well in state legislatures, where we picked up large numbers of legislative seats. meanwhile, republicans lost women, minorities, and suburban voters across the country by uch margins that they should worry every republican candidate in 2020 and president trump. but i would like to talk about what happened in the senate where some pundits and president trump are claiming more -- sorry. what i want to do is rebut the fact that what happened in the senate is equal or even close to equal to the losses that the president and republicans suffered elsewhere because othing can be further from the truth. the president never seems to let reality get in the way of a good story. but when the president says that what happened in the senate more than on does the losses they suffered across the board elsewhere -- undoes the losses they suffered across the board elsewhere, he is delusional. i won't mince words. it hurts to lose such talented and accomplished senators, dear friends like claire

were more on the watch of the harks i am so i robot and dimes out of the others and i'm proud of wisconsin today i look at. that foxconn is right there on fall of scott walker for years i mean at least that's all evidence kind of points to that being one of many things that they were unhappy with with scotty boy that's a big deal and it goes to the theme of everybody tells you all politicians are trying to tell you what they think you want to hear but when it doesn't come through or it turns out you're actually alienating people every now and then the electorate catches up to the electorate catches up to him and knocks him out of office but i mean this is one of the reasons i was constant always sort of gets i mean we're either blamed or thanked for making whatever it's whatever we do the right thing but we're blamed or thank depending on your point of view because there's this idea that we can hold these elections well this is kind of the point about a big a battleground state is that. we're fickle when you lie to us it's kind of a good thing we don't like to be you know would be nice eve

one question is whether the democrats are coming back in wisconsin. >> wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, trump won all of those and they all have democratic governors. >> exactly. that's the question. the blue wall is being built back up. >> let's look at the map. if we look at what's outstanding, we now have five races that we are looking at. four out of the five are breaking republican right now. you have in maine, we believe that's happening there. if they get that race -- i'm sorry. maine is a democrat. let's get it straight. if in maine you have a democrat leader, if that stays, that's one. in alaska, you have a republican leading, right? connecticut, that is a bit of a surprise race for right now. a republican doing well there. that state has a unique set of issues they are dealing with. they have been progressive in gun control and dealing with crime, but property taxes they are dealing with and that's something the republicans have been playing to. georgia, even though stacey abrams is saying they are out standing issues, you only know what you show in terms of votes left on the

in wisconsin we understand that america will only be made stronger when our political debate becomes more about issues and less about knocking each other down. and. we truly must start working together to lift each other up. i have been so inspired by your engagement in our democracy and your grassroots activism to make a difference there you've been listening to the victory speech of tommy baldwin she's just been voted for republicans to the work for the democrats yes absolutely . as the new senator for with honestly more speech that very emotional and really well the interesting thing about her is that she is the first openly gay member of senate yes yes i mean that's another first we're talking about first for women to talk about people coming into politics and votes elected office of first time this is another big focus yes it's great news for the for wisconsin democrats that tammy baldwin has won her re-election here because that might be helpful for the governor race which is currently still in the process of being counted too close to call we have the incumbent scott walker wh

massive boondoggle of broken political promises and giant corporate subsidies the good voters of wisconsin handed mr scott walker his walking papers last tuesday voting in democrat tony evers but accountability for broken promises and half truths will not only focused on republicans this week nuno and senate democrat claire mccaskill was dethroned up to running away from her more progressive party members and getting caught using her private plane during the campaign three day rb tour of the state to connect with voters she apparently used her private pain during an r.v. tour on the big r.v. plane. so was broken promises in campaign have troops coming home to roost it's time my friends to start watching the hawks. you know what would be. the best like real that this would be the last to leave the body. but they like you like i got. with that we. would. be. like. well they were more in the watch of the harks i am so i wrote winter and dimes out of the others and i'm proud of wisconsin today i look at. that foxconn is right there on the fall of scott walker piers i mean at least that's all e

>> certainly, the politics of division did not work in wisconsin. they did not work in michigan. they did not work in nevada or new mexico. they did not work in illinois. they did not work in kansas. if the politics of division don't work in kansas, there's a good sign for hope in this country. we won seven seats. i heard the president crowing that this was a really good night for him. listen, when you flip seven seats, the biggest, in some sense, rejection of the president's party in 36 years, there's a message there which is that people want to have commonsense measures. and my state has stood up against some of the lack of common sense. we have stood up against the president's decision to separate children fromer that parents. and we've, in some sense, backed them down though we're not done with that battle yet. we stood up against him on the muslim ban and will continue to stand up for measures. we need the u.s. congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. we need congress to pass the dream act. i've got dreamers on my college campuses languishing because donald trump h

those three huge wisconsin republicans. wonder if you could talk about that as the sort of -- should we see that as the end of an era? >> yeah, very much so. i mean, we used to joke about cheese head domination here. and again in 2020, no state flipped as decisively from blue to red as wisconsin. i mean, they flipped the governorship, u.s. seat, both houses of legislature. if governor walker does not win tonight, that really does come to an end. and again, you're exactly right. that triumvaret, they knew each other, worked well with one another. it's possible by the end of the night they'll all be gone. >> charlie sykes, editor in wisconsin. hugh hewitt, by any stretch of the imagination, there is no hugh or hewitt. thank you, charlie. >> have the meal of his choice in new york city for calling him hugh hewitt. >> thanks, charlie. >> ladies and gentlemen, it's been a while since we've done an accounting of the other important races for tonight, and that is governors races. let's run the board. starting in michigan. with a d

we'll have people in wisconsin with skills to fill those new jobs.: jeff flock has the details on the foxconn deal. >> despite what you heard there, i would say you are right. this has unified the left and the right. you think amazon got too good of a deal from new york and virginia? take a look at the numbers wisconsin paid for the jobs being created. new york a billion and a half. less than a billion for virginia. wisconsin $4.5 billion. if you break that down by the number of jobs created. virginia was $22,000. new york $48,000. wisconsin paid $344,000 a job in tax breaks and direct payments and infrastructure updates. this was a big deal six, seven months ago. president trump breaking ground with the ceo of foxconn. it was a big deal to get china to come and build a plant here. the only thing is, it cost a ton of money, and shining a light on this notion of taxpayer money being shoveled into these multi-billion dollar corporations whether they be from china or the united states. the congressman making a point about the comparison there, the avera

randy in stanley, wisconsin, a republican. what do you think about what is happening in the nation's capital? caller: it has been a big disruption. they come in and said they would criminal bipartisan justice reform and all jeff sessions did is come in and three strikes your loss and come in and say later, we had this bipartisan thing and he gave back a couple of things obama did. all they did was through a big farce. they did not do nothing about criminal justice reform. we have a person on the ropes going to get a job and somebody sitting in jail take away their life and kids and hand it -- hand them to some trunks -- drunks to raise. if there is a black guy that the area, we have to bend it over his backseat. how come this ain't brought up? host: ray in massachusetts, a democrat. good morning. caller: like i said, i am an older guy, i don't want nancy pelosi to be destroyed. she did a great job getting this house act. i think marcia fudge, barbara other womenre some that should be head of the party. that is fine. if they wa
