but turns out florida man made them red. this is what happens when you take a strong stand on the issues. this is what happens when you go on offense. ron desantis kept the state open during the pandemic while the media called him a mass murderer. he confronted disney, the most iconic and profitable company in the state and he was rewarded for that because he listened to parents and wasn t scared of the press. he is effective. just ask the liberals of martha s vineyard. is he competent. you didn t even hear about the cat 5 hurricane anymore. the state is recovering much faster than expected. they run clean elections, too. they tell you who won that night. they counted 7 million ballots. done. it s going to take a whole week for arizona to count 2 million. florida is now a solid red state. not a swing state anymore. and so what does this mean for the next presidential election? ron desantis is the hottest republican governor in the country with a strong be record. even though his wife i
for these mail-in ballots and early voting, this is deja vu. j.d. vance won in ohio, congratulations. trump endorsed him. i like j.d. but mcconnell had to plow about $32 million to help j.d. win in a state that trump won by 8. that money could have gone to masters in arizona. now, malice terse, ohio also like, didn t raise enough dough. got outspent by about a billion dollars a gazillion dollars, i can t keep track. and got defined early by kelly s money as kind of out there. now, arizona s tricky. republicans have to run independent-type guys out there. it s like a mccain state. maverick state. sinema does her thing out there. it s weird. nobody can even define what kelly believes in, but it works. all we know is that he is an astronaut who has great manners or something. mcconnell spent close to $400 million on these senate
eke things out. how would you interpret what happened with some of these races that didn t go, again, pennsylvania, that governor s race was a blow-out. what went wrong there? well, let me just back up and we still got two races we re waiting on and i think nevada and arizona look like they are breaking the right direction. and i think that just, again, reflects the fact that arizonaens want a republican governor and nevada voters said clearly that they want to a change. and again, results matter. and i think sheriff lombardo has demonstrated for folks in las vegas that he can deliver for them. and he is being rewarded for it. this is a moment where folks were voting for people that they had trust in and a couple of them came up short. i really was pulling hard for lee zeldin. i thought he might because of the crime that really halls overtaken new york really show new yorkers that republicans should win.
representative sean maloney from new york will be eating beef-a-roni and crow tonight. claire from rhode island. zeldin was the best candidate. thanks, lee. long island is all republican now. can t believe it sarah from arizona. jesse, did you make any election bets? how s your bank account looking? well, i lost about a thousand to geraldo, and i lost a hundred to jessica, and i lost a bet to t-roy down in gator country. i had the phillies. he had the astros. i m sorry. this has not been a good week for bets. louis from new york. jesse, whenever you send johnny out, is there a primetime car or make him ride the bus? no. johnny walks. that s where he s so skinny. we don t want to shower him with a lot of money, it gets to his
georgia and she actually conceded this time. kemp won by 7 points and really out performed herschel walker which is going to be a big problem in the runoff. stacey can now go back to writing novels and teach at 2026. and beto o rourke lost for the third consecutive time. he has now lost a presidential primary, a senate race and a governor s race. he is running out of offices to run for. and between abrams and owe o rourke, democrats have burned nearly $200 million. a lot of cheese. and that brings us to kari lake who is a nail-biter in arizona. there was some then than gangs in maricopa county or incompetence we don t know. 20% of voting had machines that ran out of ink. katie hobbs is the secretary of state in arizona. she is in charge of elections. there was an ink shortage in maricopa county. the county that decides the
