it was a good day i think for democracy. i think it was a good day for america. here s what we do know. while the press and the pundits are predicting a giant red wave, it didn t happen. all right. but we are still waiting to see what happens in the really close races. we have poppy at the magic wall to tell us what is happening. i m not touching the magic wall, i don t know how to use it. but we have magic berman who is. let s start in the senate, what are we looking at. i do require being called magic berman. that s your nickname. three senate races still uncalled at this point. georgia is going to a runoff. the two we re focused on is nevada and arizona. things changed a little bit overnight in the two contests. in arizona you can see adam laxalt, trying to up seat catherine cortez masto, his lead is smaller this morning than it was when you went to bed last night. why? they counted some more mail vote in clark county right here and
reporter: jim, this is a nail-biter. this race is only getting tighter and tighter. when you went to bed last night, republican adam laxalt was ahead by 2.7%. when you woke up this morning, that margin tightened to 2.44%. as jim mentioned, the margins here in clark county appear to be in favor of the democratic incumbent catherine cortez masto. all these races are nail biters. it want to talk to you about the secretary of state race. that is even tighter. the challengers there are sysco aguillar. he s a former harry reid staffer. he s vowed for transparent elections. his opponent, republican jim marchant, he is probably one of the sharpest election deniers in the country. he started the america first
like two, 300 had voted, not 25,000, and it was two-thirds with the same answer. just kind of curious it remained constant. i think that s a little bit of wishful thinking on some of your part who have voted. it s the complete opposite of the betting market, which is interesting. i think 538 nate silver and company were 55% when i went to bed last night for the r s and not the d s. what do we have in terms of social media that has come in this week? i thought my guests were great. i am giving you a shout out to corrina lamb for booking those six excellent guests. are you a closeted republican, michael, says gart rose? you always seem discouraging to democratic candidates and voters. why not try to be a balancing force, allow voters to vote with their intelligence. good advice.
membership in an online vote which would have to be completed by friday and we get a new prime minister by the end of the week instead of the start of the week. on the argument they will make is that conservative members should have a say in this process. but as i say, i get the impression, chatting to tory mps, that a lot of them want this over and done with. and it s worth highlighting that the momentum is with rishi sunak this morning. when i went to bed last night, the hoped for team penny mordaunt the hoped for team penny mordaunt the hope was that when borisjohnson stood aside they would hoover up his vote and they would get a lot of people who did not want rishi sunak to be prime minister to move over towards her but the exact opposite has happened. rishi sunak is still getting a lot of backing, including from cabinet ministers who were loyal to mrjohnson and were extremely unhappy with mr sunak when he resigned, so that suggests to me that mr sunak has a comfortable
going, even though we said don t get wedded to where that eye is, they had the eye of the storm arriving someplace in northern florida in the big bend region. then that track has shifted consistently eastward. as we went to bed last night, the anticipation was landfall in the tampa bay area. now the models this morning, both the european model, the american model, the icon all have it coming into the sarasota region. the 11:00 a.m. advisory from the national hurricane center, they revised their guidance to see it south of tampa bay into this region. now, it s still not set in stone. i d say anyone on the gulf coast prepare for impacts. that was true even when it was going to make landfall places further north. we knew that there would be big storm surges as far south as collier county. so that s what we re dealing with here, though, is continued preparations, heeding the warnings and the evacuation orders that we have from our
