A recap of the days news. You have gone to a District Trump won by 11 points. That romney won by 10 points. And now, it is a squeaker. Mo, what for frz. John. You lost, we won. You have to thing about it this way. If they needed the president to get him over the hump in supremely red district that should tell you that the district was in jeopardy. The best read you could give. What that means is there is a surge of momentum at least in this area. We cant necessarily transpose that sort of rest of the nation. But it does suggest that, that the president is not as popular, because that was a plus 11 district. You are right. Except, i wantup to have more momentum. Because you are going to keep losing.

Wolf Blitzer looks at politics, breaking news and international stories. Undoubtedly, hes going to confirm all the suspicions mounting for the past year that hes been using his chairmanship to protect the president.

Congressman, the House Minority leader, nancy pelosi, one way republicans attacked the democrat in ohios race in the ohio race. Is she a drag in districts that democrats are trying to flip . I dont know where the evidence is that would suggest that. The fact is that thats what they used against conor lamb in the special election in Western Pennsylvania which trump won by 20 points and conor lamb won. They used it over and over again with Danny Oconnor in ohio 12 who, by the way, is still running in november against mr.
