going to be a very viable candidate and lead this party, if he so chooses and can garner that support. but andrew gillum and stacey abrams and beto o rourke did not lose. all right. and i know that they may not have won these particular races, but they fundamentally rebranded the democratic party. i moon mean, stacey abrams and andrew gillum showed that you can have progressivism in a black idiom. beto o rourke showed, if you have this grassroots movement, no matter where you are, if you touch 100 counties in texas and you have that energy and out here showing that you can have not only the hollywoods and the willie nelsons showing you can have the bubba who drives a truck that you have an opportunity yeah, but you have to actually win, though. a winning national message. but let me just tell you this, without those three individuals, you don t flip the house. so, i mean, we can sit here and say that they lost their elections, they did. however, you re not winning in the subu
axe, thank you so much. always appreciate it. all right. my friend, good to see you. back to wolf and jake. thanks, chris. it s interesting because already the midterms aren t even over yet. we re still calling races. but people are trying to figure out what this might mean for president trump and his re-election contest. one of the things that i think is you can see signs both positive and negative for president trump in these results, mainly negative. but, you know, he did hold some states, republicans did. florida, for example. but one thing that i think is a very important development is the fact that the states where trump won the election, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan those were states that did well for democrats. mm-hmm. senate and governors races in pennsylvania, democrats won. wasn t really even close. in wisconsin, scott walker defeated in the governor s office by a democrat, and the senator, the incumbent senator winning a race that everyone
you re making in terms of the blanket statement, well, they lost. but at the end of the day, we had this conversation during the special elections. and i ve been listening to everybody tonight and their thoughts about defining victory. i m more simple than that, axe. you ve got to win at some point. and the problem in the special elections is that the democrats were competing in places better than they had in the past, but they didn t win. and we did see them win in a lot of house areas in this midterm election. not the special election period, there they kept losing. but in these midterms, they won in places. and i wonder if what we re seeing is, you still lost in texas, you still lost in georgia and in florida, maybe twice in both of the races. but you re gaining ground. and if trump keeps banging away on fear and loathing and he keeps distancing himself, not just from the others in his party, but from the orthodoxy of it, is that what democrats are betting on for 2020? well, i t
that means the democrats advantage in the house could grow beyond the 225 seats they hold now, compared to 200 for the republicans. in the senate, democrats now have 47 seats. republicans holding the majority with 51 seats. two senate races still undecided this hour. let s go back to wolf, who s at the magic wall with john king. all right. thanks very much. you know, it s interesting. even as we re doing this live show, votes are coming in pretty quickly out of california, especially in the tenth district in california. so let s beam it out and take a look at it and we ll show you why it s so significant. this is the full state, people leading. but let s take off the races that we ve already called and just look at the races that are still in place. one, two, three, four in southern california, the tenth district here. we talked about it a bit earlier. important for democrats, because you have a republican moderate incumbent, jeff denham, trying to hold on to a district hillary ca
that the senate is the most president s response to set the agenda next year, to likely place to talk about those questions from special counsel robert mueller. policies, to drive those policy, continue obviously with our top to try to link those policies what we know now. plus, sharp elbows thrown around priority, which is the with what s happening in the the key florida races, still confirmation of life time country. i look forward to chairman of t. appointments to the judiciary. undecided, as the recount drags and, you know, we have divided on. the latest delay and whether government often in this cooler heads will prevail. country. we ve had divided government more often than not. they are attempting to bully reporter: much of the afternoon republicans will be the election officials in focused on sorting out their florida out of doing their jobs leadership elections. in an attempt to win this election. it s just plain wrong. alright, i brought in ensure max protein. melis melis
