encouraged everyone to hang in there. this has been a tough election no matter how the rest of the results shake out, our government will remain closely divided with a lot more work to do. that can feel daunting but that s democracy. we did not hear from republican blake masters last night. heading into election day he and kelly were neck-and-neck in polling. we ll have to see how the count plays out. in the governor s race we were at the republican watch party as it became clear there won t be a result. here is kari lake. we had a big day today and don t let those cheaters and crooks think anything different. if we have to fight through the b.s. and garbage we ll fight through the b.s. and the garbage. last night republicans filed an emergency lawsuit against
night. for every job ever lost and every factory closed and every person that works hard but never can get ahead, i m proud of what we ran on. standing up to corporate greed. [cheers and applause] making more things right here in america and right here in pennsylvania. some people think that the gubernatorial race, the one that had the republican against shapiro the democrat may have dragged down the oz campaign. the republican was drubbed in the race and ticked off people and saying how he could take over voting machines and opposed to abortions with no exceptions in any case. we spent a lot of time in the last several weeks talking to voters in pennsylvania. make no mistake. the number one issue for them is still the economy. even people that don t like how joe biden has handled the
florida was sort of this kind of amazing anomaly to watch last night. you have to wonder, i look at new york and lee zeldin and i said this last night did all of his voters move to florida during covid? and that may have prevented him to get what he needed in the new york city. but when you have people who are so dug in on both sides, you can t move them all at once. it is an incremental, slow process of people deciding to change their minds about certain things and we live in incredibly uncertain times. change is hard. when you walk into the voting booth i am sticking with the governor that i have. i think there are a lot of questions about candidate quality that we talked about a lot last night. a major re-evaluation. and i think the issue of abortion was the sleeper issue in this race. i always wondered as we followed
