house, of course there is a 50/50 split right now in the senate. so basically, any change would explain power to the party that wins. just this week, them on partisan political party actually shifted its center fork as in favor of the gop but if you talk to high-profile democrats, including speaker nancy pelosi, they say that they are optimistic about tuesday so, how is this going to play out? let s bring in congresswoman debbie dingell from the all-important state of michigan to break this all down, congresswoman thank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. let s talk about where democrats stand in the final stretch, both in your state of michigan and across the country. what is your read of things? how optimistic? how pessimistic are you? about how things are going to go on tuesday? w good morning sam, and i m gonna say i m a realist right now. you know about 2:16, you re one of the people that i told that donald trump in michigan, and everybody thought i was crazy.
like the former president trump i suppose. republican herschel walker and incumbent senator raphael warnock are in a statistical tie, and in most polls neither one is above 50% which is a necessary threshold here in georgia to avoid a runoff in december, flip ticket voters by the way all of that stuff being said, they could be a factor here in a race this tight. small percentages matter. and in a recent post, they re about 10% of republican-leaning voters. and one aging poll said about 6% of republican voters saying that they were going to vote for incumbent governor brian kemp but then there was gonna split, and vote for senator warnock. and an additional 5% said they would vote for the libertarian senate candidates. and? all right. thank you. enjoy the football game as well. they re off with this project next week. a really good package there. so republicans need to flip just five seats to control the
losses that are going to have. and the interfering with the election in georgia. that is going again. so, donald trump is either gonna be running for office or in jail or both. and i think that voters, democrats, for them are very motivating and democrats howard threats to our democracy. and very good, and donald trump reminds them of that every single day. democrats are looking for when does this man get arrested. they drawn their conclusions and, a lot of the independent voters. two and i just wanna see, what are they flying with people? and actually i just want to pick up on that point that you made about trumpism on the ballots. according to the times, the new york times, there are more than 370 republicans running for office across the country that of our either denied or questioned the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. you make the point that they
i think i disagree a little bit. i think voters can be worried about more than one thing at a time. and actually, we see of democracy currently rising among the threat of the public. so we can be worried about the price of gas, and democracy on the ballot. all right, thank you very much, celinda lake, and ashley. thank you for joining me. and a quick programming note, on tuesday. join msnbc for live coverage and analysis of the midterm elections. rachel maddow, joy reid, rachel, and steve kornacki. break down the elections as votes are counted. election night coverage begins tuesday, 6 pm eastern on msnbc. and streaming on peacock! and coming up! the justice department is reportedly mulling as special counsel to oversee investigations up to donald trump! if he decides to run again! legal experts are split over whether this is a good idea.
local law enforcement are looking to ensure that the polls are gonna be safe. and secure. that there are election challengers on both sides. you know, there are some that are being trained to be disruptive. there are elected republicans here that are gonna make sure our upper elections they honest and fair so i think that people are prepared for trouble, we expect trouble we do not believe that we will have 24 hours that have real election results. from michigan. the other thing i want to say, what we are talking about this. is there a lot of people that are trying to say to people, it is gonna be a red wave across the country. and then, when the red wave does not come, which i think is very possible. if not likely. then they re going to create election fraud. i want people to be very deliberate in understanding how people are being manipulated, what people are being thought about. and that we all, i don t care who you are. republican, democrat. democrat republican. in the republicans
