gun safety legislation in the senate tonight. it is minimal legislation by anyone s score. but it is the only legislation that has moved through there they are in the last 30 years. 14 republican senators voting for it, including senator mcconnell, and john cornyn, after he got booed in texas this weekend, for exactly this, either publican state convention in texas. so, something is definitely gonna happen and everyone who was advocating for this cause we ll go back to work advocating for more. as soon as this passes. but it is a very big moment in the history of the subject, and the senate tonight. literally, it s been decades of nothing. and this may be a small something that it is not nothing. and that is big news when it comes to that issue. thank you, lawrence. rachel, you ve worked too hard. get out of here. i ll take it for the rest of the day. thank you, rachel. tonight s other breaking news is that the january 6th committee has secured the cooperation of a docu
the gop officials who stood up to their parties leader to uphold democracy. and they face threats of violence for simply doing their jobs. election workers unsafe in their own communities after being singled out at the former presidents, and the active threat they face today. so in light of all of this, what does accountability look like? and where do we go from here. it is all ahead at the 11 hour gets underway on this tuesday night. good evening once again, i m stephanie role. explosive and emotional revelations on capitol hill today, as of january six committee had its fourth hearing. the committee argued that donald trump played a key role in the plot to put forward slates, a fake pro trump election as in states joe biden won. senator state officials and one election worker described the intense pressure campaign and the violent threats they face as trump and his allies spread lies about election fraud. these public servants wouldn t go along with donald trump
the democrats will win 215 of them, however, because as a projection, and it s physical, and because they are still a lot of votes that haven t been counted, we are plus or minus ten seats on this thing. ten states! which still means that at this, our almost 4 am in the east, we don t know who is going to control the house of representatives. we do not know who s going to control the united states senate. all right, let s take a look at just a couple of key house races that i want to show you across the country, that are of interest, let s go to virginia, seven district of virginia s right here and 99% of the votes that we call this in the incumbent spanberger, this was especially title. the republicans had hoped to pick up in control of congress, close race, abaco spanberger with a difference of about ten and a half dozen votes, getting 51.8% of the vote.
as somewhat of an extremist, if you, well within the republican ranks, so the fact that abaco spanberger was able to pull this out pretty early, i think was a sign that the democrats were going to have a relatively better than expected evening. and abigail spanberger fits into an interesting narrative for republicans. right? foreign national security person, cia, so she doesn t sort of fall into the whole soft on crime, long order. yeah, i want to talk about this projection this is where the normally comes out. to see to justice? okay fine [laughs] that was an excellent burn! so this idea that republicans could have 220 seats, they need to 18 for the seats and majority. folks need to focus on this because how how let s pretend kevin mccarthy becomes the next speaker of the house. i don t think he will, this is just me, i don t think he will,
the democratic incumbent here is abaco spanberger. she flipped the seat in 2018. she s gonna have to defend it against vega, one of several latina woman to get the republican nominations for the house now in the seventh district of virginia, lawrence. so, steve, what do we see in the pattern of trump supported candidates? it s interesting, because you look at georgia, and you could say the headline election in georgia, or primary election, was obviously, the gubernatorial primary a few weeks ago. trump s, you know, went after kemp, got crushed, went to the secretary state, got crushed. his candidate to lose to ninth, but like i say, the winning candidates will be running on pro trump messages, so hard to read into that. thank you, steve. steve kornacki gets tonight s last word. the 11th hour with stephanie ruhle starts now. last word. the 11th hour with tonight, the stunning new details of trump s full campaign in critical swing states. to overturn the 2020 election.
