you can t let that happen to me. we know this morning it did happen to him. it did happen to him, and he claimed on twitter afterwards because he ran for the hills away from matt bevin that he actually made a 15-point positive difference in the last couple of days, completely invented number of course and not true. hopefully it goes without saying. jake sherman as you look around the suburbs, the cincinnati suburbs, what happened there last night, you look at louisville, you look in d.c. in these virginia races. you look in the richmond suburbs there as well. you begin to see a picture of suburban voters running away from donald trump, and you start to wonder about a year from now what happens in the suburbs of milwauk milwaukee and detroit and philly and phoenix and orlando and places like that. what s happening right now around donald trump and what did last night tell you? well, let s actually take the most charitable view of this situation. i m going to try to tie in kentucky h
went back to the democrats. let s be careful as we do this. we want to see, see the results start to come in. you think, okay, a, are the democrats winning the districts they thought they would win, and b, are there any surprises out there? either way. we ll keep on eye on the seat in the middle of oklahoma, see if the democrats can pick that up. that would be a bonus, if you will, on this night. again, we mentioned republicans right now leading in jim cooper s district, longtime house member from tennessee, but pretty low vote count. pretty low vote count. we have to see how that one plays out. we ll come back in. you re looking at the democratic opportunities now. how do you keep building and keep building? again, the kentucky race where they were leading, they re no longer leading. one of the virginia races where they were leading, they were no longer leading. the bigger list has been widowed down a bit as we start looking through the races but do have targets of opportunity. th
across women all over. we had to deal with issues as it relates to what s happening in our society. that will continue to be important, that spans multiple administrations. we are going to focus on kitchen table pocketbook issues and fight for the people, not for the well off the well-connected. i think what s very important, watching that kentucky race will be interesting. that s a tough race for any democrat to win, mcgrath has been a phenomenal candidate but the virginia races are going to be critical. if we win multiple races, we will harris: if you lose multiple races, too.
win the majority of the u.s. house of representatives. we ve anchored our strategy this year around what is the largest battlefield we ve seen in over a decade. 111 districts across america, we are investing in over 80 districts across the country. retiring house speaker paul ryan is not on the ballot but ryan has campaigned in recent weeks in 12 states and 50 cities trying to help his colleagues in the toughest races. republicans are selling the strong economy. there ve been so many people left behind in this stagnant economy over the last eight years and it s time to turn it around. we ve done that and i think voters are going to give us credit for that and that s why we are going to win the majority. the choice is clear, it s a choice between prosperity and higher taxes. i think americans will choose prosperity. with 41 house republicans retiring or running for other office, the g.o.p. has had to play a lot more defense.
lose the house, maybe it s close closer than it has in the past for any other president. midterm elections are traditionally referendums on the president. the american people i think fundamentally, if they feel it s been overreached even too far to the right or too far to the lef left, many of us believe that s exactly what will take place tonight. hopefully we can get something done on behalf of the american people and solve problems. not democratic problems are republican problems, but american problems. harris: let s focus on new jersey and the new york metro. are you surprised at how competitive they are for democrats? it s very interesting, we have four races that are super competitive currently held by republicans that democrats have a real shot to win.
