pressure trove. we ve got to stop the leaks. they re dangerous for our country. what charges could mean for robert mueller s investigation and we continue to focus on florida getting nearer and nearer to that recount deadline in georgia. stacey about brams acknowledges she won t be the next state s governor but does not concede the race. this is not a speech of concession. because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper. it s saturday november 17th and with the last of the midterm results coming in, why aren t we hearing about the migrant caravan anymore? the vast majority of the migrants are more than 1,000 miles away. troops are there for no reason. like if paul revere went through the streets yelling the no one is coming! the no one is coming! why am i yelling on my horse in the middle of the night? oh, god, i need mental help. and deputy assistant
i m david gura. turning to the drawn-out battles from florida and georgia s top seats. the fight over georgia s governorship came to a bitter conclusion last night after democrat stacey abrams admitted she no longer had a viable path to victory there and netted 55,000 fewer votes than republican brian kemp and in a rebuke of the system called out voter disenchizment and competent saying the state failed its voters. and meanwhile wrapping up a machine count coming in less than a quarter point, but broward county s hand count wrapped up two hours after it began read at bad news for democratic candidate bill nelson. deadline is tomorrow at noon and after a judge dealt nelson s team another blow yesterday, democratic hopes for a big turnaround are fading. joining us now from miami, mark caputo. senior writer for politico. ask you about the path forward.
or committee to examine what happened. the problem that often happens with legislators they react to crises. next ma, might be on our fifth crisis compared to where we are now. turn to georgia in the few minutes left and maya ask you how you reacted from stacey abrams. the cause of her career getting people eligible to vote to vote. she didn t concede. what did you have to say about what she said what does it tell you about the state and about the south? people are reading into this, what it says about the south s place in history, where it is today and where it might be headed? you don t have to read deeply to recognize that what stacey abrams said so poignantly last night is that fundamentally we have returned to a nation that has decided it should be very difficult for people of color to vote. and that one party can actually use its power of government to interfere with voters selecting
their next leaders. that s really what happened in georgia. it happened, it was racially driven. i ll say that explicitly and what i mean by that, you actually had jack kemp saying brian kemp. i m sorry. different politician. if you actually have black people voting it s going to be a tough time for republicans. this isn t just the south. this is something we ve seen across the country. we ve had politicians across the country not just the south making statements about who votes for one party versus another, and whether or not making it tougher for them to vote will help them get to victory. that s not what our democratic order is supposed to be about. unfortunately, racist played a direct and historic role and she launched her efforts to win office not by trying to keep people from the polls, but by spending five years trying to get as many folks to register to vote as she could and every step of the way she actually had mr.
of georgia voters saying i am going to fight for you. i m going to fight to make sure that your vote, whatever choice that you make, for, you know, in those votes, are actually counted and you have an fu opportunity to do that. important, were ut we are talking about approximately 3,5400 votes reinstated by this federal judge out of those purged and talking about 19,000 deficit to force a runoff. noah, i appreciate and agree with both of your principle and that being there has to be parody on parity on both sides. and not a rhetorical society who doesn t care about the facts. absolutely right about that. the issue, there s plenty of evidence. i want to ge back to first of all, just since 2012 we have and mr. kemp was a huge part of this. doubled the number of illegitimate voter purges from the voter rolls.
