2016. maine does instant runoff voting, which means the other candidates on the ballot the voters selected a second choice so that ll do an insanity runoff in the coming days. it takes a few days to do it. but that might be the most fascinating race on the board. still not safe to go back to life as usual. thank you so much for your service all this week and being at the big board for us. tonight coming up, no other way to death it. the president today was angry in no particular order at the midterms, the white house press core and the president of france and he let them all know it. another friday in the new normal when we come back.
that i was trying to hang onto the microphone so i could continue to ask the president questions. obviously, you know, i didn t put my hands on her or touch her as they are alleging. and it s just unfortunate that the white house is saying this. you know, we all try to be professionals over there. i think i handled myself professionally and i appreciate all the comments from my colleagues. i do think, anderson, that this is a test for all of us. i do think they are trying to shut us down to some extent inside the white house press core, and to some extent i think they re trying to send a message to our colleagues. and you had no advance warning, this was simply when you got to the white house to go do a live shot. you were just informed by secret service? yeah, i saw the statement on my phone from sarah sanders that my press credentials were being revoked. i thought i d get in the white house for a live shot on your show. from that point i was blocked from entering the facility. as
