South dakota and montana. The new majority leader in the senate is expected to be Mitch Mcconnell the current minority leader. Scott walker was reelected in wisconsin, making him a president ial contender in 2016. Rick scott was reelected in florida, beating former governor Charlie Crist. And Sam Brownback was elected in kansas. Its Election Night on captioning sponsored by cbs make no mistake, the policies are on the ballot. This experiment in Big Government has lasted long enough. I think the ten seats you saw are close you could see all ten go republican. This election by making the country better. We will get things done. It is time to go in a new direction. Campaign 2014, Election Night. Analysis from john sheafer and charlie rose. John dickerson at the decision desk. Now, from cbs news election headquarters in studio 57. Here are scott pelley and nora odonnell. Good evening. We came into this night with all 435 seats in the house and 36 seats in the senate, up for grabs. And it ends with the republican sweep taking control of the house and the senate. Bob scheaffer, the mood of the country was tough tonight. The mood was nasty and most of the country took it out on barack obama. This was a referendum on barack obama, it was really a referendum on both spearts part. Clearly the president has to reorganize and make a new effort here. But republicans have to have a responsibility, got to come up with something that were against everything that president obama is for. You know charlie, we were wondering if the republicans would get at least six seats, they got at least seven seats, we dont know about the state of alaska. This turned out more than a wave. Indeed it did. As bob said it was the age are against washington, the anger that nothing was getting done. They blamed the president of the united states. Time after time, the polling indicated when the republicans were voting they were voting not because they liked their candidate but they hated the president and the way washington was working. Now lets look at the man who is most likely leading the senate for the Republican Party, Mitch Mcconnell won reelection tonight in his home state of kentucky. There you see him winning handily over alison owner lundergan grimes. How will the leadership be different of the senate under his leadership . The market change from the man who said his main goal in life was to make president obama a one term president. Now he says he would like to find areas of agreement with the president , on trade agreements, he knows that republicans have just two years as you said bob that they can govern. That theyre not an Opposition Party, if they want a president to be elected in 2016. One small point though, where these republicans won, were they in states where mitt romney had won by double digits. They were in fertile territory. Absolutely. President obama said it was the worst map for the democrats since the eisenhower era. Thats because so many republicans were up for reelection, and its no surprise that someone like mork pryor the democrat went down there tonight. I know, im remind he of 2013 white house correspondent, some folks dont think i find enough time with congress, the president said. Why dont you get a drink with Mitch Mcconnell, they say, the president says, why dont you get a drink with Mitch Mcconnell. But Mitch Mcconnell didnt laugh. Youve been looking through all these numbers. What is the incentive for republicans to compromise . Well, the incentive for republicans to compromise that in 2016 the number of the senate seats where republicans are running aa lot of those are in democratic states or states that are Battle Ground states in 2016. It will be a president ial year. The Democratic Coalition that didnt turn out tonight in 2014 is more likely to turn out in 2016. Which means there will be a lot of republican candidates running in places where it will be tough for them. So they want to show and this is what Republican Leaders have said. They need to show that they can govern. They need to show they can get things done and that doesnt mean just putting things on the president s desk. It means showing people they are open to compromise for the president and that job begins for Mitch Mcconnell tomorrow. There are more than 30 governors races up for grabs. Lets look at one of the closest ones are you are ever going to see. Cbs is predicting rick scott is the winner but less than a thousand votes between the two, Charlie Crist, former governor. And rick scott. The Republican Holding ollivant his seat there, a likely contender for the president ial election in the Republican Party in 2016. Moving over to kansas, Sam Brownback it appears will win reelection. The Republican Holding that seat. In pennsylvania, look there, tom wolf, that is a pickup, tom corbett the most vulnerable republican in the country. The democrat has won that one bright light for the democrats there. A big win for rick scott in florida. Democrat Charlie Crist had hoped the hispanic vote would give him the edge. But if you look at the exit polls, rick scott held his own with the hispanic vote and he won overwhelming white vote. The governor races would break their way, that just didnt happen. It was blue state after blue state and strong blue states like massachusetts and maryland, where they havent elected a republican governor, since 1967. The republicans won tonight. They even won in illinois, president obamas home state. The only bright spots youre seeing is pennsylvania and of course california where jerry brown won big in the big state of california. Barack obama didnt campaign in any of these states, he felt comfortable campaigning in some of these states, even michelle obama, it didnt help much. Chris christ campaigned in 37 of these races and raised about 100 million for these republican governors. Chris christie wo won big tonig. The republicans won big in 2010, they won big in 2012 and now they won big in 2014 in the state houses and governors mansions. Well talk with Chris Christie tomorrow morning. Governor race, Sam Brownback one of the most conservative governors in the country. Most massive tax cuts in the country, he won in kansas. Will they say this is a validation of ideology . This is in kansas. The fact that he was even in a tight race with a democrat, not just an independent but a democrat is a sign that theres a real schism in that state about deep cuts. The state saw its bond rating slashed twice over these deep spending cuts. It createa divide between fleebles the state which left not just brownback vulnerable but the senator, pat roberts who eked out a victory. It will be interesting to see if brownback changes. Even the vulnerable republican candidates seemed to win. Sam brownback was one of the most vulnerable republican candidates. This was an election about not who youre for but who youre against. Not what youre for but what youre against. And it appears that republicans have picked up at lease seven seats in the senate. The democrats picked up zero from republicans. They saved a seat in New Hampshire but didnt pick up any from republicans. I want to get a sense from our exit polls too what happened, cbs news talked to voters when they left the polls. Gail king and Anthony Mason are in studio 7 to tell us what theyve learned. Nora, the voters we talked to tonight are against the economy. Our exit polls showed, the economy was the number one issue from the country. 41 of the voters said it was the most important issue. 78 worried, 22 anthony not so much. The numbers are also discouraging when you we asked people about where the country was headed. 65 saidists on the wrong track. And that doesnt bode well in voters minds for the future. Nearly half, 48 think life will be worse for the next generation and this is interesting because thats the highest number we have ever subpoena in cbs news exit apology, scott, nora. Very important race tonight is the senate race in colorado, a state that could have gone either way but it went big for representative cory gardner. Ben, they musting feeling pretty good there tonight. They are. They are still partying here tonight and as you mentioned this was a huge pickup for the republicans here in colorado tonight. And i just talked to senatorialelect cory gardner. He didnt think this was a vote for the republicans or against the democrats. He said he really plans to go there into the senate now and work on some of those problems and hes willing to compromise on some of those things. For republicans though this is not just about tonight. This is about 2016. Colorado is a red state. That became a blue state. And now i think youd have to call it very light purple at this point, and the republicans say they need this state in 2016 to win the presidency. A lot of hope in the gop in colorado here tonight and cory gardner and senator mark udall will be coming back to colorado now that hes been defeated. Han manuel bojorques. To you. The incumbent, she told them this is the race she has been waiting for her entire life. Because she wants to prove to plns that her experience has yielded results. And that she is not a rubber stamp for president Barack Obamas policies. Her republican challenger bill cassidy has tied her at every turn to the president who is unpopular in this state. Cassidy told his supporters he will turn to his supporters. Cassidy has a lead over landrieu but outside money will continue to pour into this race. The runoff is december 6th. Scott and nora. Going into this evening, was the one in georgia but its not going into a runoff in this republican wave. The Republican David Perdue has prevailed over Michelle Nunn. The election headquarters of Michelle Nunn, as you mentioned this race in particular was suggested by several polls to be a close one, possibly going to a runoff but that was not the case. At about 11 00 tuesday evening, Michelle Nunn gave her speech conceding, she thanked her supporters and her family and she even offered her support to her opponent Republican David Perdue. Perdue told us early on that he was confident about this race and his victory speech he talked about putting georgia first and also saying he wanted to set a new course. Scott and nora. African american turnout in georgia very high but not enough to help the democrat. One of the big winners, new jersey governor Chris Christie. Will be our guest on crks news this mortgage. Well talk to a member of this new majority, ted cruz of texas and well have the latest returns. Back in a moment. Hard it can be. How. To breathe with copd . It can feel like this.

Other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. Nothing can reverse copd. Spiriva helps me breathe better. Sfx blowing sound. Does breathing with copd. Weigh you down . Dont wait ask your doctor about spiriva handihaler. We are back now with cbs news special coverage of Election Night 2014, republicans will be taking control of the senate in january. Charlie rose. Freshman senator from texas ted cruz was elected two years ago. Joins us now. Senator cruz let me begin with a question of what we learned about the country tonight. Was this a protest against president obama but also a protest with washington with no clear mandate for anybody . Well, i think it was the American People saying theyre unhappy with the direction were on. And this direction, it hasnt been going. I mean tonight was an incredible wave election. And it is clear that the obama economy, it isnt working. That millions of people are hurting, and that people are frustrated with the obama stagnation and malaise, and they Want Congress to work together. They want leadership. Now that republicans have won the majority, its incumbent on us to stand up and lead. And i hope that come january republicans will come to washington with a majority in both houses and we will see bold, positive optimistic leadership focused on Economic Growth and jobs. And speaking of leadership will there be a challenge to Mitch Mcconnell . Well i dont think anyone has declared their decision to run that will be the intention of the Congress Next week and well see. Will you consider it . Under no circumstances. Why have you said you were reluctant to vote for Mitch Mcconnell as majority leader . My second guessing of opposition leaders, they are interested in 92 million americans arent working and under harry reid and the donothing senate the senate wouldnt vote on tax reform on Regulatory Reform oon anything that would address the suffering. Thats why we saw the result tonight and it is a mandate to americans to listen to the people and bring up positive legislation. What happens to obamacare . I think republicans should do everything humanly possible to stop obamacare. If you look at the races across the country, the two issues that endowmented were stopping obamacare and stopping amnesty. I think we need to follow through on the promises that republicans made on the campaign trail, to pass legislation appealing obamacare and if president obama vetoes that we should systematically address, passing legislation that says you cant have your health care cancelled, you cant be forced into part time work because of obamacare like so many people have been especially single moms have been hammered by obamacare on that. Passing legislation saying no Insurance Company bailouts against obamacare. Teeing those up one at a time, will he listen to the overwhelming views of the American People or will he simply try to veto them one after the other after the other. If he does the latter that will be very much a mistake and i hope he doesnt do that. I take it you wont try to shut down the government this time . Weve gone around and around and around. I will note that harry reid just lost his job and part of that was because he forced to compromise he refused to negotiates. Senator i guess ill ask you the same question i asked you the last time around, if you didnt lead the fight who did . Harry reid, i voted repeatly to keep it open and he voted to shut it down. I recognize those are his talking points but the facts arent consistent. Senator cruz, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts tonight.
