50.1% of america won t go. that s what i really think. do you think skill is part of it? these people weren t as skilled at lying and trying to summon the type of grievance that at least partially worked for him in 2016? well, look at the reality of it. herschel walker may be the worst candidate ever to run for the u.s. senate in our history. it s an opinion. mehmet oz was clearly a weak candidate. there s no question that these these folks they chose or these folks trump chose were not up to the challenge of even running effectively. so, yeah, i think i don t think there s any doubt that if the candidates who would otherwise have gotten these nominations in the republican party had gotten them, then the republicans would be much happier right now. right now in the republican
now tonight, we built upon though gains two years ago. and it is clear that we are going to take the house back. all right. so that is the democratic side. now let s look at the balance of power over on the senate side. that chamber still hanging in the balance. the republicans still hoping to gain control. and at this moment, all eyes are on three senate races. three senate races. wisconsin, nevada, and georgia. they re still no projections here. this is take a look at what s happening in nevada. this is incumbent catherine cortez masto. 50.1% to adam laxalt, the republican challenger. 47.0%. he started surging in the polls very late into the game. we ll see if that momentum will carry him through. the democrat leading in that race right now. let s get you to wisconsin. democrat mandela barnes, still trailing ron johnson. ron johnson 56.6% of the votes.
republicans galloping ahead in those states. it is looking pretty strong. we are not going to find out this evening what is going to happen in this case you mention. we are likely to have a run off. you need 50.1 to win in georgia. i do not think they will get that with herschel walker. can the republicans get themselves over the finishing line? but this in pennsylvania is huge for the democrats.- line? but this in pennsylvania is huge for the democrats. every time we talk about huge for the democrats. every time we talk about elections huge for the democrats. every time we talk about elections in huge for the democrats. every time we talk about elections in america | we talk about elections in america we talk about elections in america we have to revisit polling. did it miss a certain chunk of the population. speculation that potentially they missed younger voters for example. they did not appreciate how many young voters would come out and vote. the democrats seem to be having
