unclear whether or not it s going to happen. it could be one of the first times we have seen senator mcconnell be challenged from within his own ranks. all of had is the drama on the hill even as results are still shaking out. jose. ali, just a couple of minutes ago the president was asked what people can expect from the new congress about codifying abortion rights. here s how he responded. i don t think there s enough votes to codify unless something happens unusual in the house. i think we re going to get very close in the house. but i think it s going to be very close. but i think we will make it. ali, what do these results mean for either party to have legislation on key issues go forward? look, once again we are in a razor-thin margin senate. the question is, is it going to be the 50/50 power sharing we have seen over the course of the last two years where reporters end up staked outside offices of joe manchin and kyrsten sinema
