so nobody should be breathing easy in either camp. but at least a little bit of big mo heading toward dr. oz. 31.2%, 31.2%. as a local anchor and reporter in pennsylvania, charlie, you know, that was one of the first things they told me, it s lancaster, not lancaster. lancaster county. and i m happy to speak pennsylvania dutch to you too don lemon. i know how to do that. we ve got a long way to go. we just got started. thank you. we re going to take a quick break here but we ve got lots more election results to come in tonight including the governor s race in pennsylvania and how it can impact the 2024 election. and madison cawthorn conceding. stay with us.
endorsed doug mastriano. he s been a fierce proponent of the big lie, for election fraud in 2020. i just want to remind everyone that the pennsylvania governor appoints the secretary of state, who oversees elections. i mean, this new match-up just became even more important. i hate to say that what happened on january 6th and the months leading up to it is the new normal but it is the new normal. earlier this evening jake tapper said my gosh, i don t think we ve ever seen anything like this. and i can tell you i don t think we ve seen anything like this in politics, what we ve seen over the past few years. look, mastriano is going to play to a certain element of the maga base. but to charlie s point, especially in a state like pennsylvania, he s not going to have that opportunity, at least on paper right now there s not a chance that he s going to have the opportunity to do it. but you do have to ask yourself, though, what were the republican voters thinking when they decided to make
