he also really fires of democrats. bret: but, you know what? when i went to enter view in missouri, she said she was 100%. if you wanted to move troops. that s not where her party s. they are saying it s a joke, this whole thing is made of. that s the message from top democrats. she s absolutely the other side of that. she is shifting, obviously, to try and get elected in a state that voted overwhelmingly for trump. harris: the question is, is a genuine? we saw the same thing from kyrsten sinema just yesterday. i m okay with putting troops at the border. if we are seeing democrats do that, is this a different kind of wave? by the way, i m guessing she voted for herself. at that election. [laughter] marie: that s a safe bet. i think people like claire mccaskill and others are testing the notion that a moderate democrat can win at some of the states that a very pro-trump. i think she is pretty moderate on some issues. heidi heitkamp is as well.
grabs today with republicans currently holding a 2-seat majority. president trump has been making a big push for g.o.p. senate candidates in the final days of the campaign. while he has said today s election is not a referendum on him, he also says that he is kind of on the ballot. in missouri last night at a rally for republican senate candidate josh hawley, president trump appeared to take credit with the high interest in today s contest. watch. speak of the midterm elections used to be boring, didn t they? do you even remember what they were? people say midterms, they say what is that? now it s like the hottest thing. [laughter] harris: i was laughing at bret. melissa: the presence true and could have an opposite effect of the race. watch this. there are a lot of president trump supporters that he can motivate. but there s also a lot of people that him being here motivates to
she s very pro-gun. bret: she voted 80% of the time with chuck schumer, 67% of the time with elizabeth warren, 66% of the time of bernie sanders. you can call that moderate, but it is voting with martha: that s a much than many democrats. harris: i m going to read your book! marie: it s all about where you re running come as you said. martha: claire mccaskill has had a good way of weaving with she she is very good at getting reelected. she very well may get reelected this time around. when you see north dakota and indiana, and you look at missouri, those three senators in very tight races right now. they all voted no on kavanaugh. that is the thing that marie: and they all might win. martha: they might, they could win, they could lose. harris: by the way, that information was on page 169. by bret baier! there we go. keep it right here all day. melissa: for up to the moment election coverage, 6:00 p.m. eastern. martha and bret will take the helm for special cover
missouri, bret. bret: if i m not mistaken, they don t have early voting there. harris: so it should be a crowded day. bret: they have absentee ballots, but this is a state where the show me state needs to show on election day. melissa: i would ask you, marie when alicia was breaking it down and shout about the never feel voting early, which party they were from she talked about the independence independents and they said democrats would pick them up. i think about the people i know who are not affiliated with the party. not because i work at a new station, because i don t feel like i gel with any party in particular. why do people assume that the independents are going to go with the democrats? marie: this is a state that has not elected a democratic senator in 30 years. all of the polling and i know we are all nervous about polls, but all of the data we have seen over the past two years is that independent or less have been moving in general away from the republican
point about looking at arizona, sinema comes from maricopa county. she comes from the more conservative base. mcsally comes from the tucson area, the more democratic area, largely come of the state. that also is probably impacting the tightness of this race, here, because those are the areas where these candidates have become so familiar to their home constituents. it has also been the first woman, no matter how you slice it, to be a senator from arizona. i agree with bret, in terms of the jeff flake/john mccain. it s a mavericky fan, he continues to be so. harris: i don t know when that ll happen, may be now. in columbia, missouri we saw previously claire mccaskill voting. this is josh hawley, republican challenger. he s the attorney general of the state. kirkwood missouri, i know the state well because i lived there. you have some interesting things to add in to what s going on in
