the polls, and that will bebe nx next tuesday. make no mistake, anything can happen. we ll be talking about the results, or at leaste. some of them. one week from tonight, we ll know in most states , hopefully all states , the results. now, according to real s clear politics, their average five senate racefis and more thn two dozen house races ares within two points. soare wi think about this. this is why i m not pollyannish. this is why i don t want to create a condition where people are overly enthusiastic within two points. that s five states. now, that s the balance of power in congress, well within the margin of error. now, just a fe sw thousand votes can decide whether or not joe biden and his radical democratic socialist party will continue to have full control of your government. now, three key gubernatorial races are also within two points, including right here in the state of new york . these race s are all tight. and don t forget, in 2016, think about this. polls s
that was the warning. during last minute speeches near the capitol, curious, didn t hear him mention crime in a crime ridden train station, interesting point there, juxtaposition, the optics matter but apparently not to the president. that voters need to preserve and protect democracy by electing members of his own party. republicans, they fired back today, calling the speech patronizing and a bid to divide and distract americans. we ll let you decide. take a listen. this is the struggle we re now in, a struggle for democracy, a struggle for decency and dignity, a struggle for prosperity and progress, a struggle for the very soul of america itself. remarkable thing about american democracy is this, just enough of us on just enough occasions have chosen not to dismantle democracy but to preserve democracy. we must choose that path again. because democracy is on the ballot. so i want to put this in context. yesterday, the preview of the speech from the press secretary, she
viewed justice clarence thomas as key to stopping the certification of the election. the former director of national intelligence is my guest tonight. let s go outfront. and good evening. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, biden s major speech this hour, with just six days until election day, president biden any moment now will deliver a major speech. the topic is the threat to democracy, and it comes on the heels of a violent attack on the house speaker nancy pelosi s husband paul. biden betting this will turn the tide of the midterms. but as he prepares to speak, only 9% of likely voters say voting rights and election integrity are the most important issues to them. 51% say the economy is their number one concern. 51%. and today that issue was front burner. the fed raising interest rates by another three-quarters of a percentage point. rates have been rising at an unprecedented pace with mortgage rates above 7% for the first time in 20 years. you can see the stage
overrun why junkies and vague grants. the speech came together at the last second. looks like a hail mary to me. nothing is sticking so they are going with january 6th. you think the president would close hard with a powerful message about the economy, but you d be wrong he s going with republicans are going to start a civil war. he is going to blame republicans for the actions of an insane, fairy loving, obama supporting illegal alien drug addict who hammered paul pelosi in the head. by the way we have fresh details on that attack a little later in the show it. looks like one of the biggest security failures of all time. speaking of break-ins. remember the democrat katie hobbs running for arizona governor her campaign headquarters got broken into and she blamed her opponent kari lake? right before we just came out on to air we found out that it was actually an illegal alien who broke into her office. and the democrats released him from jail already and didn t tell ice so he
protecting our democracy. the president is expected to address threats from maga republican election deniers to not accept the result thofs year s vote. and the growing embrace of political violence in the aftermath of the hammer attack on house speaker pelosi s 82-year-old husband. joining me for the hour are jen saki, matthew dowd and david plus. jen i start with you. you ve been talking to white house officials. what should we expect to hear from the president? joy, it s six days until the election and this is the big closing argument for the president. there he s doing this because at this point it sless about convincing people that you have a better plan. it s about lighting a fire under those democrats and people who are going to support democratic candidates to get them out. the other piece they are focused on is saying to democratics and other people voting for candidates hang with us. it may be a long week. it may take time to count the votes but stick with us and
