this is the lauren goldberg district. she has become an icon among maga republicans. you see 73 votes. we switch to the county level of this district. i was telling you, i was texting with a democrat out there who was nervous. she thought she could make up the votes. it s 73 votes. million is others over there. i want to show you this. this is pueblo county here. it is a democrat county, not by a lot. 2 points. the race will be decided here. a slight democratic advantage. does that mean how people voted yesterday? we don t know. very, very interesting. we re on alert for the minute the votes drop. thousands of ballots on the line. you ll get the results right here. back in a moment. only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.
this is so competitive. that right now we still don t know. right. if you re a democrat watching, you say, is it possible the democrats retain the majority? possibly, yes. likely? not so much. this is what we called. 207. the republicans have 207 seats. they need 11 more. many thought they would get to 225. maybe 230. some had ambitions beyond that. that won t happen. but it is quite possibly they ll get to 218 and beyond. democrats leading in 215. if it ended that way, again, two things could be true at once. that could be a moral victory for democrats but a political loss because republicans would take the gavel from nancy pelosi. howl do you assess that? it will make joe biden s life much more complicated if this is where we end up. but if you look at the historical trends, 37, 31 if you go back the ronald reagan. 37 if you just start the clock at bill clinton in a first
golden, jared golden, he s a democrat in a republican seat. six points. donald trump would ve carried that district in these lines by six points. i believe last time he fell short of 50% and, in fact, i don t even think he was in first place in the plurality of it. and then he became the member of congress because of the ranked-choice voting. he often breaks with his party, he s a tenacious democrat. how did democrats defy the national headwinds, if you will? , in part, by good candidates whose personal brand helps them overcome and who knows their district. and remember the democratic governor also won against paula. you come back out, where are these other uncalled races? we talked about this race last night in western connecticut. jahana hay what s losing at one point.
county, arizona. those votes could have a major impact on two uncalled races. the governor s race between kari hobbs and katie. the race could tip the balance of power on capitol hill. as we wait, we do have a new projection to make in the house of representatives battle. democrat eric sorensen, cnn is projecting has held on to an open seat in illinois. he is a former tv weatherman and he will be the first openly gay member of congress. and in colorado, look at the nail biter between lauren boebert and a former city councilmember. the difference here is just 73 votes with about 95% of the votes having been reported. in washington state, democratic incumbent congresswoman is hanging on to her seat against
that s why these matter so much. and that s why the late vote count. at the moment the republican is leading here. still a lot of votes to be counted. the democrat is leading here. so where does that leave us right now? it leaves us at 50 republicans and 49 democrats. so, that would be a swap if it stayed right there. the democrats pick up pennsylvania, the republicans pick up nevada if nothing changed from where we are right now. then georgia decides can democrats get back to 50 and then the vice president breaks the tie or do republicans get to 51, which is why these votes count so much because there s a possibility if the vote count there, if the incumbent democrat cortez masto comes back in the race, it s possible democrats get to 50 right there. kelly holds this lead. cortes master comes back. this is just to decide whether it s 50/50 again and the
