Were going to protect these values like a freedom of speech and freedom of religion, a right to bear arms and the sanctity of life. [cheering] were going to fight for secure borders, strong military, and take care of our veterans. And always we are going to stand up for Law Enforcement. Last night we made our last Campaign Stop in wichita. My kids said, where do you want to go to dinner . We had the best meal ive had in months. I would put the chicken fried steak up against any meal ive ever had. They said what is 20 20 going to be remembered for . What would be your concerns . Said this is what they say, that it to would be americas darkest moments. Think about our kids that lost a year of school, a year of college. The weddings and anniversaries we missed. Will it be remembered as a year of lost trust . Youths a year that are lost trust in our elders . Remembered as the year that a virus because the sun to set . On our republic . That answer is no. Moment,cas greatest this is the year we all pitched in and did our part to help our neighbors, to love our neighbors, even in the time of a crisis, in the time of a pandemic. That was our first sermon back in april. What would it look like to love your neighbors in the time of a pandemic . Were going to protect our liberties, even in the time of a pandemic. Our liberties are even more important. This is why our Founding Fathers wrote that constitution. We put our clinical differences a hot aside to save the soul of our nation. And oure and my family, team, weve just begun to fight. We refused to live in fear, with the same hope that encouraged our Founding Fathers to take on a great luke perry force to forge a new nation, conceived in liberty, the same hope that delivered Abraham Lincoln and same hope thathe carried our grandparents and the greatest generation through two world wars in a great depression. That same hope will deliver us. {cheering] are so many people to , ink tonight, and of course always remember to thank my wife.

For more from the news desk, here is greta. Lets take a look at the balance of power. 1 11 a. M. Here on the east coast. Take a look at the house, her democrats held 232100 98 majority.

When you look at the senate where republicans hold the majority, 5347 right now, this is where it stands in the senate. 46 balance of power, republicans, 43 democrats, to independence, nine races to be called in the senate. Peter back to your calls and your voices. Parry in california on the support President Trump line. Good evening to you. Thank you for allowing me to be on. , a lot of baffled people in america are supporting biden. The democrats are planning for the largest government weve ever had in the history of the United States, the most spending, the most taxing, and once they get to 10 Million People in the federal government, they will never give liberty. It will be gone forever because the government does not going to tell the people were going to downsize the government now. Theyre going to take our guns, take our liberty, our constitution, our Electoral College. They will do anything they can to change our history that we love and cherish because we love this country and we want everybody to prosper. Its going to kill us. Peter youve said that, but you live in a state that went at least 21 for Vice President biden. I have another home in another state. Peter my point is, two thirds of the people of california are voting democratic. Well, theyve been brainwashed by our school systems. Basically from kindergarten university, they been dumbed down and brainwashed. Not all of them, but theres a lot of communists and socialists that are teachers, that are educating in the wrong way. Theyre not even telling the truth about our history. It wasnt perfect, but the Founding Fathers gave us liberty from god. For everybody, i dont care what race or religion you are. I dont care who you are. Thats like millions of people around the world have always wanted to come to america for 250 years. Peter what do you do in needles . Im retired, im getting close to 70 years old. What im saying, the Younger Generation in this country have been dumbed down to the point that they dont know what they dont know. They dont realize how great we are. No country in the world has a constitution like ours. We are unique. We are the greatest country in the history of the world. President trump is one of the greatest president s weve ever had, except for the Founding Fathers. More than all president s combined since the Founding Fathers. Weve been had. We need to wake up. Weve been had. Peter heres a look at the Electoral College right now. Vice President Biden at 223, President Trump at 212. The outstanding states, alaska, nevada, arizona, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, North Carolina, georgia, and maine. Thats what is remaining. You can go to cspan. Org elections and find the electoral map. It has the values attached to it. You can attach the values to it and add up each candidate is trying to get to 270. Whether or not we will know by this morning sometime, dont know. Right now its up in the air. Lets hear from ryan in denver on our support President Trump line. I appreciate you taking my call. The guy before me, i couldnt agree with him more. Trump is going to keep the country together, if we turn it over to the liberals, is not going to end up well at all for any of us. We put the country on these standards and hes right, we are not held by our past, but if we get of to the democrats, is not going to be good for us. Peter ryan, you are living in a pretty blue state with a senator elect mccright. Ive beenee that, following cspan for a while. Ive watched your coverage through the impeachment process and we all know it was a big sham just to get trump out of office. Its kind of bizarre that we are my hometown is in florida. Peter were going to leave it there. Joni ernst, republican from iowa, speaking live. It feels very good. Its an indicator that you just dont ever give up. Go all the way through to the end. I think i lost it several days ago and i havent found it. The desire to make sure that we keep a republican majority in the senate so we can continue our economic prosperity. Weve got to get through covid19. Peter that senator joni ernst who looks like she has been reelected. Associated press is calling the race for her with 99 of the vote in. 51. 7 percent for senator ernst. Theresa greenfield, her opponent, 45. 3. President trump has also been declared the winner of the state of iowa. We will continue to take your calls and hear your voices. The president could be speaking a little bit later tonight at the white house from the east room. We will go to that if that happens. Other victory and concession speeches as well all night. Either way, everything we are covering tonight is available at cspan. Org election. Though there and you can watch all the speeches and see the results, follow alone all on the electoral map. Its all on our website, cspan. Org. And you can join us on social media as well and continue the conversation on facebook, follow us on twitter. At cspan is the handle, and thats what you need to remember. Veronica is in maryland on our support Vice President biden line. Good evening to you or good morning. Good morning to you also, thank you for taking my call. Peter you are up late. Yes, i am. I was looking at you and i was looking at other stations, and i tried to call in and i finally got through, so thank you. Peter why are you a supporter of Vice President biden . Like i told the young lady before, i used to be republican. Im an africanamerican, 76 years old. Louder than words, as far as im concerned, and im a christian. Ive heard your two colors before, and it sounds like they have a lot of propaganda they have heard on fox news, and the other reality, the other shows liberals. Us democrats i have some moderate, conservative, and liberal ways, but i just could not vote on President Donald Trump because of his integrity and his character, and that speaks loud to me. And because of the children thats caged in cages in the west. Humane, and i just could not vote on the president. I had to vote on biden, because he has a lot of character and integrity, and thats what one of the reasons. About the taxes going up, because our country, we need money because of this virus. Our states have lost money, but a lot of people, they want to keep their 401 k and dont care about poor people or people that are in need. And i do. Peter you mentioned that you are 76 years old. Yes, i am. Peter how did you vote, did you vote early, or by mail . I voted early. I mailed my ballot. Peter did you get a receipt or anything that said weve got your ballot and counted it . Oh yes. Peter veronica, next for sharing your experience with us. Greta in the senate there are total of 26 female senators. Nine republicans and 17 democrats. Take a look at some of the females up for reelection in this cycle. We start with maine, where Susan Collins, the most senior female republican senator right now a is 79 reporting come she has a lead of 50. 5 to 42. 8 in that state. , the republican incumbent there, and in iowa, you just saw joni ernst, who was declared the victor there. Greenfield. Heresa in mississippi, cindy hydesmith, the republican, the challenge for mike sp who raised 9 million. She raised 3 million. She said in her speech tonight mississippi was not for sale. She comes out victorious tonight. And in new hampshire, Jeanne Shaheen will return to the senate, the democratic incumbent, for another turn. In minnesota, tina smith the democrat will be returning for a full sixyear term. She beat back a challenge from the congressman jason lewis. And the Georgia Special election, another female candidate there, the incumbent appointed to the seat, you can see that she is trailing right now with 96 reporting over the democratic challenger. 202 is the area code for all of our numbers this morning. If you want to dial in and share your view are your experience on election day. For all others, or third or didnt vote as well, we want to hear from you as well. And finally, you can send a text message, include your first name and your city if you would. 488903. Max in las vegas, how is the night going for you . Andm doing excellent, first of all, i dont think people ask you enough, how are you doing . Youve had a very long night. It like in las vegas during the pandemic . It is tough. I was furloughed and then laid off and luckily i got hired back by the same company, but its a lot different, especially given that las vegas is a tourism industry. People come out here to have a good time, they dont want to wear masks and stuff, and unfortunately, you have to do it. But honestly it has really taken a toll. Peter max, what kind of work do you do in the Casino Industry . Im a supervisor with one of the major casinos out here. Weve seen a big decrease, obviously. We are coming back, theres a lot of people coming in, which wea good sign, but again, have the kind of casual person, the whales are going to come in the matter what as soon as we reopen, but the casual person kind come out more, just of looking at it right now and like, i dont know if i want to come out, ive got to wear a mask and they have partitions on the tables and things like that. So its a lot different experience out here. Peter it kind of takes away from the whole energy of vegas, doesnt it . Absolutely. Dont get me wrong, it is coming back. When it first started back in early march, late february, it was a ghost town. The casino i work at was actually closed, and i actually have some good video of me walking through there, and its empty, except for the security. So aachines were still on, lot of machines were kind of set to get loud at a certain time. You would hear machine just kind of scream something out while walking around, and it was very eerie, but it is coming back now. Peter conversations with your coworkers and friends, are you holding President Trump liable for what happened with covid . Thats tough. I guess we will get to this a little further on in the conversation of how i voted. Its kind of mixed. At least i think it would be difficult on anyone, and im not saying that President Trump handled it the best way possible, but i dont know i dont really know optimistically could be donemore to have averted this. I still think it wouldve impacted us one way or another. Again, i dont envy him because its a tough decision, and especially our governor is getting a lot of stuff, because again, we are a tourism heavy city. So when the governor says were going to shut things down, a lot of people get mad, and i understand why. Unenviable feet because what is he supposed to do . Peter all that said, max, how did you vote . I ended up voting independent. I did vote democrat the last few times. Trump, simplyfor because theres a few things. Was talking about the wind and he knows more about the wind, and im a big fan of birds. And kind of like your last colors have said, democrats are well, to take our guns, you know, whats going to happen next . Are they going to take away our lunchmeat . Are they going to take away our cheese . Good cold cut combo from a restaurant. Are they going to take that away from me . These are major, major concerns. I like a good salami, and is that going to be taken away from me . Peter thats back from las vegas. Senator elect lujan from the new mexico, democrat, it was an open seat. Here is his victory speech. Tonight, and with me tonight is my family. My mom carmen is here with me, who is my guardian angel, and i know my dad is here with us as well. I know he smiling down from heaven. This with a grateful heart that im here with your support, and i proudly stand here as your next United States senator from new mexico. [cheering] tonight, people across america are are voting and coming together. People in new mexico spoke loud and clear. More people voted in this election than any other time in our states history. He volunteered, you made millions of calls, you sent text messages, you inspired people to get out to the polls. Growing up on the farm, i learned the value of hard work and treating people with respect and dignity from my parents and grandparents. Working, it was part of our daily life. We were raised to treat people with respect and dignity. These are our shared new mexico values that i carry with me every day. This year hasnt been easy. We lost loved ones. We ar
