A win. That is largely because of the senate. Democratic senators trying to keep their states in red states had a rough night. As of now, republicans have a net gain of two senate seats, with four races still this morning undecided in that chamber. All of this brings us to mark preston, who has had, count them, 45 minutes of sleep in the last 24 hours. Luxury. Its been a big night. Of course its going to be a big day. Lets start with the house of representatives as we are talking about what has happened so far right now. If we look at whats going on right now, democrats have actually won the house of representatives. They have 229 seats at this point. They only needed 218. But the reason why i have up this map right here is that i want to go in and show you where we are right now and what is left outstanding because democrats can add more seats to their majority. Specifically, here in california we have three seats right down here. Of course, we have a seat out here in utah as well tha
Pruitt before he left office as the epas administrator. This inquiry was also opened up after referral from the epa Inspector General regarding whether pruitt took any action to benefit an Energy Lobbyist that he rented a condo from for under market value on capitol hill. Youll recall that reporting several months ago that for six months at least that pruitt had rented this condo on capitol hill for undermarket value. So this lobbyist benefited. But we are told from our sources that investigation seems to have stalled ever since pruitt left office over the summer, brooke. Thank you so much. Now we continue on. Welcome. Im Anderson Cooper. Welcome to pittsburgh. The first funerals taking place for those killed in the deadliest attack on jewish people in the United States of america. David and Cecil Rosenthal buried today. They lived together in life and they are together in death. And for dr. Jerry rabinowitz as well, an extraordinary physician. The city of pittsburgh has been divided a
Down from trumps bravado and settle for half of the 5 billion donald trump had been demanding for his precious border wall. That was last saturday. And there have been no new offers from either side since. In a few minutes, well be talking with congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and what democrats will do about trumps actions at the border at large, an issue on which jayapal has become a leading progressive voice. They have an ambitious agenda planned, including getting the government operating again, introducing new anticorruption and Voting Rights legislation, and jumpstarting investigations into the Trump Administration the republicans have not been all that interested in when they were in charge. But one thing democrats did not expect to have to deal with on day one is a house seat that is still contested because of an election marred by alleged fraud. Its a situation for which there is no clear playbook, and today we got confirmation that the house will not have its full complement of

Its a situation for which there is no clear playbook, and today we got confirmation that the house will not have its full compliment of 435 members when the new congress is sworn in. It will only have 434. Now youve likely heard something by now about the craziness in North Carolinas 9th Congressional District. Its a
Allies are forced to act as if this tantrum is an actual strategy. Shutting down the southern border would cost millions of dollars a day. Is the president going to do that . To the detriment of the economy . The white house is desperately trying to spin the situation as a great success, unnamed sources saying trump is gleeful and trying to make the case that a conversation around immigration and Border Security is in the president s best interest. After what we saw on november 6th, its unclear. And top minds in the gop see it as a winning strategy. So, congressman, how long should the president keep the government closed . You do it until hell freezes over. January, february write that down, hell freezes over. Or, you know, maybe thats all for show. I dont know, today nbc news reported last weekend mike pence told chuck smumer that even trump had been publicly demanding 5 billion for the wall, hed take half, 2. 5 billion, what do you say, chuck . Schumer rejected the offer. Doesnt sou
