for republicans. could be a little bit more complicated, i m gonna talk about that in a few minutes as well. there is also nevada. nevada is a state that actually been getting closer democratic, all of the century, but it s been getting closer. it was a two point margin for biden in 2020. adam lack so, again, a pick up opportunity there for republicans. those are five who are keying in on. there are some others that could emerge, as close races, as battleground races. we ll see how this map takes shape over the next 1990s. again, for republicans, it s an it gain of one. and they have control of the senate. if they can t hit that, the, democrats hang on. so, that s the big picture when it comes to the senate. that is the big picture when it comes to the mood of the country right now. here to talk about where this is all heading over the next 99 days. we got a great panel here. joining us in person, very excited by this. jennifer palmieri is the former communications director for the oba
republicans. mitch mcconnell views this race as an insurance policy against some of the more difficult battleground races where republicans are going to struggle this time around. because doug jones, in the context of roy moore and the egregious allegations against him, was an unlikely democratic win there and now has to run just two years later. matt miller, in the world of the senate, jeff sessions, there s a lot of fondness for jeff sessions among his democratic colleagues. but the improbable thing about this is he was one of the most loyal cabinet members. he went hard on it, the separation of children, the other immigration crackdowns that the president wanted, he went along with enthusiastically, that was his mission. but that one issue, of course, is recusing himself which he could not avoid doing given his conflicts on the russia issue which of course led to robert mueller. yeah, he really had no choice, as ruth said, it was a clear regulation, he had to recuse himself, the
if you have to run from the television, run to the radio. brian kilmeade show from 9:00 to noon, it will be raging. if you have to run, you can walk. all day with post-game coverage. see you tomorrow. bill: good morning. 9:00 here in new york and new look in washington as democrats gain control of the house, republicans tighten their grip on the senate. two big story lines this morning. i m bill hemmer welcome to three hours of analysis and news, good morning. sandra: good morning, everyone. i m sandra smith. the balance of power shifting last night. democrats taking control of the house for the first time since 2010. meanwhile in the senate republicans expanding their majority knocking off democratic incumbents in several hotly-contested races. the people of missouri said we believe in america, our future and ready to fight for it. i m ready to go to washington and fight for you. people of texas rendered a
these metropolitan areas that are conservative leaning but don t like him. as we go into 2020 not just those races, seven governorships democrats picked up in states. we didn t win my home state of ohio but picked up some other one. bill: ohio rolled red. the governor, three closely-watched congressional races. i didn t see the senate. they rolled red. the hill rights this on screen. the red wave promised by trump which attracted mockery earlier this year showed up in states such as indiana, missouri, north dakota where democratic senate candidates were swamped, end quote. i guess you saved the best for last as part of the a-team now. i would respectfully disagree with brad. i think that president trump was very tactical. 10 senate elections where he won all those states and he went to those states and they did well in those states. as a democrat that wasn t surprising. sandra: what does it say about the president?
