biggest take away i have from last night is there s a lot of anti- anti-incumbent. we saw most congressmen running for senate nominations lose. in indiana, luke messer, evan jenkins. the only one that one was in ohio. he was backed by president trump really early on, little different from some of the other knlds th candidates that are trying to get trump endorsement. thank you. still ahead, president trump s pick to head the cia weighing in on a controversial interrogation program. what gina haspel is saying about tactics previously used by the agency ahead of her confirmation hearings. and bill karins has a look at the forecast and the international space station.
conservative you might be happy because this is the last thing congress will do this calendar year before the election so they might as well head home. i want to make a point about what joe just said. when joe was elected i was just rereading a book he s featured prominently in called the freshmen which was a book about his class elected to congress on an anti-incumbent very similar to 2010 throw the bums out mentality, entrenched democrats, we need to get rid of these people. a lot of those people joe not included are still on capitol hill so they bucked what they came to washington to do. so in 2010, we saw this massive class of republicans who got elected to not increase the debt and deficit and here we are in 2018, those same republicans have lost their religion and debts and deficits. so a lot of parallels between these two massive classes that changed washington in a big way are now completely abandoning what they came to washington to do. there s a nice way to
going to get in, and according to the washington post there are sources he is expected to make a decision in the next 5-7 days. because there s such an anti-incumbent/anti-washington tone, he would hurt hillary clinton. bloomberg saying clinton would fall by 11 points. this would only help sanders out. but you see this week hillary clinton trying to put herself to the left of sanders. if biden gets in, then she has to differentiate herself and triangulate from the administration that she was a part of, and that is going to be very difficult. wow, that s quite the dance move. go left or right? she can t do it like you, harris. i point out one thing? quick. every week for the past month we have been hearing that biden is leaning toward [laughter] running. and that s the way we begin each week. yeah. well, you know, it s got our attention. okay. speaking of lean, i m going to lean this way now. hillary clinton does saturday night live, did you see it? she even sang a song.
couple super packs are starting a big voting rights push in a couple weeks, this includes voter registration efforts but also includes a push to elect democratic secretaries of state in key states like ohio, colorado, iowa, new mexico. the goal here obviously is to protect what they see is the rights of voters but also those are all very important states for 2016 to have friendly secretaries of state running elections in big battleground states next year. nice to have friends in the right places. manu mentioned the senate race. since eric cantor lost the primary people are scouring the maps and calendar saying which house incumbent will be next to fall. i was checking with sources in fwoet parti both parties this week democrats think they don t think any incumbents will lose closely, except in massachusetts john tierney faces a republican challenge. if you think there s a huge anti-incumbent wave out there,
of my biography video on that website as well. i was in the largest korean church in the commonwealth on sunday and visiting with them after the worship service. i m taking my message everywhere because i believe it resonates everywhere. everywhere i go, people are concerned about lost jobs, lower take home pay and higher health care costs and higher energy prices and i ve put forward a positive agenda and rolls outline the policies for if yesterday. five-point agenda for economic growth and yesterday i put out the specifics on the energy plan. ed, a couple of quick questions for you. first of all, why did eric cantor lose? i think there is a number of factors there and i ve given up the political analysis business but i think a lot of was unique to the seventh district. i believe a stronger anti-incumbent. it s much broader than that. a lot of independents and a lot of democrats very frustrated with what is going on in washington, d.c. today.
