more than 7%, which is the highest in the district and absentee ballot witness told a local news station that an electioneer who worked for harris campaign paid her up to $100 to illegally collect and hand in ballots. the station found the same few people signing as witnesses for absentee voters which is very rare. the state s election board will hold an evidentiary hearing before december 21st to sort out the voting irregularities. jonathan lameer, if the tables were turned and this was the democrats being accused of this would trump be tweeting this morning? yeah. this is an amusing thought exercise, mika. we saw what the president did in recent weeks with the vote totals in florida and the count there, that he was alleging voter theft with no evidence. day after day on twitter suggesting the senate race, the governor race, again, also a little bit in georgia, that democrats were trying to steal them from republicans.
they re really developing it and just as quickly as they were before they met did donald trump. now it s the same thing with the china deal. i love farmers. great. glad he loves farmers, but i love chocolate. i do, too, but it doesn t mean the farmers are going to get any relief here according to larry kudlow because there is no deal. elise, if you look at this, ask his own advisers, larry kudlow, as mika just pointed out, he said there s no specific agreement that he s aware of in place. peter navarro said, well, the idea certainly came up. in other words, we don t have the deal yet. and you had ford motor company clearly blind-sided didn t know what the president is talking about saying we look forward to finding out more. this administration has long had a problem giving specific bes the policy. you look at how they have tried to enact sweeping changes like
leader pelosi worked tirelessly. we talk a lot about congress, joe and mika, but i m equally excited about what happened in state legislature, in state governments. our partners across the eco system, that was a big difference this year. all too frequently democrats have gone it alone. in this cycle there was a unity of purpose. we were organizing every where. you talk about latino voters and latino decisions which was very remarkable looked at it before and after. latinos did come out in force. they came out in force because we led with our values. we re fighting for opportunity for everyone. we re fighting to make sure that you re protected from getting your health care taken away because you have a pre-existing condition. we re fighting the lower the cost of prescription drugs. we ll fight for infrastructure bill that will put people to work. you know, nancy pelosi has

as republicans had in 2018. the senate map is laid out pretty well for the democrats. but it s going require that they can start winning seats in red states. and that s going to require the democratic party coming more to the center on immigration, nor the center on some other issues if they are going to win in some of those red states. well like states like missouri where claire mccaskill lost, states like tennessee where democrats had a shot but still ended up loeg. m mika, that dynamic democrats who are running for president pulling the party to the left and chuck schumer and democrats want to take over the senate in 2020 and have a say in supreme court nomination fights, they will want to try to pull the party to the center. that s something we ll be seeing all of 2019 and 2020. also fascinating is nancy pelosi s role in all of this. i think she s up for the job,
