right with republicans. final lightning round question, cornell. do you think that just the mention of pelosi has more of a galvanizing get to the polls effect on the republican base than, say, ryan on the other side? i think it probably does. there s a lot more energy, sort of anti-feminist, quite frankly, energy on the right than there is on the left. but look, in the end, i think you re going to get in the end, republicans base going to turn out. the question is, is the democratic base going to turn out in the midterms the way they turn out in presidential election years. cornell belcher who studies this stuff for a living in the shadow of the u.s. capitol. thank you very much for coming on. coming up for us, trump may be just weeks away from a meeting with vladimir putin. but what does russia stand to gain from a meeting with donald trump? that and more next.

away the dirt left behind. i saw the doorman changing their wardrobes to new yumunifo that don t have the trump symbol on it. she said she would have signed the petition had she known about it. i would have because i feel it goes hand in hand with my vote. reporter: the petition states residents are embarrassed to be living in buildings with the name trump place emblazoned in front. . one of the petition s authors. he is racist, anti-feminist, anti-immigrant, he s anti-everything except one person and that is donald trump. that s why it is was important to his his name removed. reporter: as the street turned construction site attracted tourists taking pictures can some new yorkers scowled at the site like this man who didn t want to give us his name. the election is over.
