Three senate races. Right now they bring welcome news for republicans, particularly in states where they were playing some defense. In kentucky, Senate Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell has a ninepoint lead. Hes sitting at 50 . 41 there for alison grimes. In georgia, republican candidate david perdue is clinging to a fourpoint lead over democrat Michelle Nunn. If neither candidate gets 50 , were red for a january runoff in georgia. In louisiana, Mary Landrieu has an eightpoint edge in the socalled jungle primary. She leads bill cassidy 44 to 36, rob maness sits at 15. If no one gets the majority, that does trigger a runoff in december. Right there, cassidy has the edge over landrieu, 5045. So this morning, things looking good for republican hopes of winning the senate. They couldnt lose afford to lose either kentucky or georgia. The voters i met made it very clear, they are not happy with either party right now. One of the biggest problems in washington is that there are career politic
The mid terms have been hard for us in National Media. Its difficult to wrap our heads around the mid terms unless youre a Steve Kornacki because the fact is all politics are always local. In years like this, all elections are also local. No one could expect any one person to keep up with all the personalities and issues and commercials in 435 house races and 36 senate races and 36 governors races, not to mention the campaigns for more than 6,000 state legislative seats and nearly 150,000 initiatives. In other words, midterm politics are complex and their diverse and just a whole lot of them. Some of the stories of the mid terms are juicier than others. Some are uniquely consequential on our national stage. North Carolina Senate race is among those stories. Its where i live and where im casting my vote. First, some North Carolina context. The shifts in North Carolina politics over the past few years have been epic. Want evidence . Look at the moral mondays movement. At the height of th

Until we get to replace this president. Under Mitch Mcconnells leadership, we will send the president bill after bill until he wearies of it. And start your engines, as the race for 2016 begins. What the president ial hopefuls can take away from the midterm madness. And good day, im Andrea Mitchell in new york. Democrats are sifting through the political wreckage after republican midterm tidal wave washing over congress. It was a resounding victory for the new majority. Republicans picking up at least seven senate seats tuesday night. And its not over yet, the gop sees two more pickup opportunities. First, in alaska where mark begich is behind and votes are still being counted. And in louisiana where the combined vote of bill cassidy and conservative rob manis looms over Mary Landrieu in a december runoff. As for the house, more gains for republicans. Their largest majority in eight decades. And it may be a long time before we see that shift back to democrats. Our team is in place to b
