over, this is not about politics, she said she took a lot of time, she went back and rered the constitution, reread a lot of literature, she came to the decision that politics is criticized, this is a decision she had no choice but to reach, no matter what she was going to do here, it was not going to make a lot of people happy. sounds like what we heard from jason crow last hour. democrat flipped his district trying to push politics aside, it s a tough vote when you do think politics. jason, thank you. with me now, debbie dingell who is also with the house chair of policy. thank you for being with us. good to be with you. you have a big day ahead of you in 48 hours. you ll be voting. have you decided? i m like many of my other colleagues, i ve done everything
interests of the united states. whether you agree with me or not that i have attempted in all i can to be transparent, to be communicative, to let you know what i was doing and for me, this was an issue of principle. this was an issue in my own. jason carole was there. read the room for us, it was tough to tell whether she had more supporters or more folks yelling, which was it? there was definitely a vocal group of people in the back of the room who were not in support of what she s decided. if you had to read the entire room, i mean, people yelling aside, it was divided. there were just as many people in there supporting her as did
new tonight, jaw-dropping numbers on how much money is being thrown at a crucial special election. this comes as we re hours away from the polls opening in ohio. outside groups reporting republicans, supporting republicans, i m sorry, have some $5.25 million into this one race five times more than democrats . this is the first seat that republicans have controlled for 35 years. trump even hit the trail for the republican in ohio. jason carole is out front. reporter: troy balderson should be writing his victory speech for tomorrow night, instead he s fighting his democratic opponent danny o connor for every vote. who is ready to win? reporter: the latest poll shows a virtual tie, yet it s a seat republicans have solidly held for decades. a loss here would be seen as a defeat, not only for balderson, but also for the president.
$3 million. despite all that, diner owner rick hawn still remains undecided. i can stay i m still in a neutral zone. i m not really leaning. down to the wire then. down to the wire. reporter: erin, it should be noted that we did reach out to the balderson campaign, trying to get the candidate in an interview, but they did not return our calls. as for at diner owner that you heard from, he s an independent, he s undecided. i asked him if the president coming here would sway his decision in any way? he said no. i asked what issue is most important to him, is it health care, is it immigration? he said whichever candidate stands the best in terms of standing up for small businesses, that would be the deciding factor for him. erin? okay. very interesting. all right, thanks so much, jason carole. next, from a concert to a birthday party, why was a former trump campaign aide repeatedly inviting an alleged russian spy to associate events just before the election.
