it is like game day. volunteers started of pouring in before 3:30 this morning. a lot of them had little to no sleep. they expect those large numbers if it s based on the early voting. ballot numbers surpassed that of 2016. may be because of hotly senate race between incumbent joe donnelly, mike braun and of course lucy brenson. president trump himself has taken an interest in this race, visiting indiana twice in the last four days to rally support for brawn. and 2014 republican flipped nine seats in the senate. joe donnelly continued his indiana centric message and voters have about 11 and a half hours or a little more to get out here to the polls because they wrap and end at 6:00 tonight. brian: thanks, kobe so much. the day to decide the balance of power is here and for democrats the stakes for this race and the future of their party could not be higher. here to discuss it and break
nice. i know, right? [nose plays a jazzy saxophone tune] believe it. geico could save you 15% or more on car insurance. tomorrow the people of indiana are going to send mike braun to the u.s. senate to keep america s economic boom surging full speed ahead. steve: there president trump making a final push for indiana republican senate candidate mike braun who is locked in a tight race with democrat incumbent joe donnelly. brian: real tight. g.o.p. senate candidate and indiana representative joe brawn joins us now. mike, what are your thoughts today as you zero in on this is the day? you had the president come yesterday. what are your feelings about
myself comes from that place here in indiana makes a big difference. i think they see the similarities with what trump did back in 2016. and joe donnelly votes lock step on the posh stuff with you chuck schumer and the liberals. ainsley: mike, for the folks on the fence that haven t made a decision yet, what sets you apart from joe donnelly? the fact that i m an independent thinker. i have done things in the real world. joe, like many folks there, i signed a term limits pledge. i believe if we had that we would have a better quality individual that goes to the into the and the house. you are going to get action out of me. if you like the agenda of where we are trying to fix things, the president trump started, i m going to be there. so, get out and vote. it s going to be a tight race. we need your help. brian: indiana won by 20 points for the president. on almost every issue you are on the same page as the. we will see what happens. we reached out to joe
race. i talked to the data department. when president trump rallies we see movement toward the g.o.p. nominee. tennessee, marsha blackburn was down by 5. president trump comes. he rallies he suspect why 14. dean heller down by 4. trump rallies. all of a sudden up by 7. same in texas, ted cruz s first double digit lead came after a trump rally. there is quantifiable change toward the republican party when the president gets out there. steve: kayleigh, what do you make of the fact that the former president barack obama has been out on the stump and he has essentially said without mentioning donald trump by name he has said that the character of the country is on the ballot. who we are is on the ballot. what kind of politics we expect on the ballot. clearly, that s talking about the tone that donald trump has taken. 2016 was cat gorical rejection of president obama. all the exit polling showed that voters wanted change. president obama, during his first midterm had a she lacking. he los
