hello and welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i m christina macfarlane in london where the country is waiting to see who will become the nation s third prime minister in less than two months. i m rosemary church in atlanta where we are following the latest developments in the u.s. midterms. voter turnout already hitting record highs, but political divisions running deep . well, here in london we could soon learn who will be the next leader of the ruling conservative party and the new prime minister. one thing is clear, it won t be boris johnson. he announced on sunday he won t be entering the tory leadership race, though he claimed he had enough support to move forward. that narrows the field to former finance minister rishi sunak and penny mordaunt. the conservative party today will announce which candidates had reached the necessary number of nominations and whether a vote will follow to determine the next leader of the party
democrats will lose about 20 in the house and maybe 1 or 2 in the senate. that doesn t sound like a lot, and it s better than historical standards. but remember, if that happens, republicans win control of the house and the senate, and therefore, president biden will not be able to get legislation through. he will have to govern more as an administrative or managerial president. many thanks to michael genevese. still to come, western officials slam russia after an unfounded claim on ukrainian weapons. why some western officials believe it s an attempt by moscow to escalate the war. later, we ll head back to london for the latest on the race to become britain s next prime minister. so it s really a special moment to know that i had d a family member who over a hundred years prior have walalk these ground.
