after the election. there was a lot of uncertainty heading into last night and markets don t like uncertainty. there wasn t a lot of buying or selling heading into that. we saw the sharply unchanged market for a couple of days and here we are markets seem to be responding to, as i got many texts from those on wall street last night, it seems that wall streeters who wanted republicans to retain control didn t see a worst case scenario, that s why we would see this up. bill: divided government. maybe infrastructure spending and cooked in here. sandra: there is a case for that. one might be surprised if you saw the headline. divided government and potential gridlock. then the dow surges triple digits. that s the story this morning. bill: i like it when you call me hemmer. sandra: hemmer. bill: 9:33. here we go. election results now. several crucial races too close to call from georgia, republican candidate brian
promises. he promised to never forget real america. and he came here three times. sandra: josh holmes is the former chief of staff to senator mitch mcconnell. good morning to you. first love to get your thoughts this morning at 9:30 a.m. eastern time. what a night it was, josh. what a night it was. it was a good night for senate republicans. all of these races that you just covered were all democratic incumbents who won in a presidential election year in 2012 with mitt romney on the battle. they were battle tested incumbents that defied the odds time and time again. what we saw was an effective campaign by senate republicans and those candidates in particular to partner with the president of the united states and the vice president to have a unified message going into this election cycle that broke the back of democratic holds in states like north dakota, missouri, indiana. looking good right now in arizona, florida clearly a huge
still looming this morning. we start first with kevin corke who is live on the north lawn of the white house. kevin, good morning. good morning. quite a night it was. as you pointed out the president will address the nation, a press conference coming up at 11:30 eastern time. we ll have live coverage on fox news channel. keep in mind last night as you said there, the democrats earning more than two dozen victories to get control of the house. the president is calling the mid-terms a success. don t take my word for it. let my share a bit of what the president had to say about last night s outcome on twitter. to any of the pundits or talking heads that do not give us proper credit for this mid-term election. remember two words, fake news. his rallies seem to have propelled a number of republicans in battleground races to victory. you saw him campaign hold rallies for each of the
night including from four nations, friends, that were waiting me out and hoping on trade deals. now we can all get back to work and get things done, end tweet. sandra: we re still waiting on some official results from several key races, arizona, montana. the senate races there, as well as governor in georgia. bill: complete coverage begins now. we re here in new york to go through the analysis. kristin fisher is live in missouri but we begin with peter doocy live in naples. has bill nelson conceded there, peter? no, we haven t heard from him yet since the results came in last night. his campaign manager was quoted late by local outlets, including the orlando sentinel. this is obviously not the result senator nelson s campaign worked hard for. the senator will make a full statement tomorrow, that s today, to thank all those who rallied for his cause. since nelson hasn t quit we
me in this incredible mid-term elections did very well. those that did not say goodbye. yesterday was such a very big win all under the pressure of a nasty and hostile media. that s a shot at republicans in a way who were not on board. sure, yeah. this clearly is president trump s party and he is steering it. many presidents at the top of the party are. he is doing it directly. it will be interesting to hear his perspective on that today. the kavanaugh factor. that was such a huge factor in those races of democrats up for reelection in red states. every senator who voted against kavanaugh lost except manchin, who voted for kavanaugh and won. i have think it was a major move in those races particularly in some places like indiana and missouri. bill: interesting to see what mitch mcconnell says that about next hour.
