here. question is can ciattarelli be improving on trump s number? again, by eight, nine, ten points in a place like bergen county. it s one thing to do it in hunterdon county. traditionally republican county. it s another thing if he can do it in a bergen or burlington. not much in the way of votes there right now. the vote that s in so far is skewed pretty heavily toward republican areas. plus we just have a lot of mail here in some of these other places. so i would take that margin you re seeing right there with a grain of salt. let s see what we get when bergen starts to report. let s see what we get when burlington starts to report. keeping a close eye on those. we ll keep you updated here. new jersey, in terms of keeping the context in mind here, president biden as steve was saying won new jersey plus 16 over donald trump. but phil murphy himself was first elected after the bridgegate scandal and he won by 14 points over kim godano when he won that seat. while new jersey residen
shifted immensely in a short period of time. a plus 16 state for new jersey for joe biden a year later is a toss-up. this political environment would have us losing the house and senate comfortably. and let s remind us, in the senate, they re going to be in the sixth closest states in the presidential campaign in 2020 all have u.s. senate races, right? so, the idea that the far left agenda is going to win those races is just not going to happen. it s simply not going to happen. no, it s not going to happen. you know, again, it s also important for democrats, and i say this as a former republican so disregard it if you want to, but i say it as a former republican that i kind of like western-style democracy. i m kind of attached to it so i m sort of invested on democrats not turning washington over to trump republicans.
out there and say, this is what we just did to make your life better. this is the difference between us and them. if we don t, we ll get our butts kicked in the midterm elections. jim, let me ask ya, what do democrats do, though, today? of course, you all did get your butts kicked in the 2010 midterm election after mcdonald won in 09, after brown won that seat. what do democrats need to do? this is really a blessing for them in disguise, if they learn the lessons of yesterday. because this wasn t just about virginia. it s new jersey. it s a plus 16 state. you ve got a governor, incumbent, fighting for his life there. you look at minneapolis. voters say, oh, get rid of the police? no, thank you. no, thank you. you look at buffalo. the hero of progressives going to be beaten by a write-in candidate. you look all over the board. progressivism did not sell yesterday. i m not saying it won t ever
rooms and all of these things happening in loudoun county. and terry mcauliffe said he didn t think parents should be involved in the education debate. and glenn has used that effectively to rally independents. i think that s where this is going to head. they will be watching to see how you embrace trump in your primary and get a runaway from trump when you get to the general so you can get the independent voters pack. and i think he s probably done a good job. and i would say one other thing, go to christopher newport university. there is a great poll october 27th. it breaks all of this down, likely voters. and it s a dead heat right now. ron, why is new jersey seemingly at least a little different from what s happening in virginia. phil murphy running for re-election. that is a plus 16 state one year ago.
weezliest, and that is why tonight little kevin worm, kevin the worm mccarthy, he s the absolute worst, just the worst and the wormiest. and that s tonight s reid out. all in with chris hayes, well, that starts now. tonight on all in. i was not going to extend this forever war. and i was not extending a forever exit. the president marks the end of war abroad as an elected republican suggests taking up arms at home. the tonight the growing backlash to a congressman s wild incitement and how kevin mccarthy is now threatening the january 6th investigation. then as the president speaks to the nation on afghanistan, how americans are embracing refugees of our longest war. plus 16 years after katrina taking stock of what did and did not fail in new orleans. if there s a silver lining
