You say it as if its a bad thing, hallie jack sson. Msnbc headquarters here in new york. A day after the midterms, still a number of races to decide, enough results for both parties to take a victory lap. President trump will take his this hour, the president scheduled to appear in the eastern room of the white house for a News Conference roughly 30 minutes from now. Today hes already touted himself as the magic man for last nights senate wins. Never mind losing the house, though. President trump also had a message for the Incoming Democratic majority in the house. Investigate me . We investigate you. We also heard from Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell just a few moments ago. The Democrats In The House will have to decide just how much president ial harassment they think is good strategy. Today is more than about democrats and republicans, its about restoring the constitutions checks and balances to the trump
administration. One of the first orders of business that i think that d
matter. but to get to the recount we d be in that range. there s florida. take us to montana, if you can. this one right now we ve got the gap here is 2,000 votes. matt rosendale a challenger leading jon tester. we ll take you through the counties in montana, missoula county, big democratic area, tester is leading this 2-1. there is outstanding votes there. there is outstanding votes in cascade. tester is leading there and there s outstanding vote in yellowstone. basically what you see is the bulk of the outstanding vote in montana is in places that are likely to be friendly to tester, friendly enough to make up a 2,000 vote difference. that s what we re going to see. why are there still outstanding votes there in montana? i m tempted to say because it s montana. we might get that today. arizona might be a couple of days. if you re watching or listening from montana, please
last time i was on. what we are waiting for is the same-day vote. out of missoula, big democratic area, especially out of billings, yellowstone county. we want to see if there was any kind of surge on election day away from the republican towards the democrat. that is the only hope of democrats right now. they are down three runs in the bottom of the ninth if you want a baseball metaphor. but what could save them now, if there was a same-day surge. we still don t have same day vote. we are expecting a lump sum or a really long night. if we get one of these counties to come in and no change i think that tells us what has happened, the republican will be fine. but if we get one of these counties in and there s a change here, there s a twist on election day, then we could be in vefor a very long night. with you at the board i feel there is something all right with the world. that is our broadcast on this busy evening. thank you for being here with us. for all of us good night from n
has been a rock-solid democratic state for so long, number one, erie county. that should be a democratic county. donald trump winning there. allegheny county, let s see this one is about where it s supposed to be if you re a democrat, 56 57, 42, so hillary clinton did well there. she was wethere just the other day. this one s embarrassing to the vice president of the united states. he was there many times. you see 50 to 46. that s pretty stunning. it s not a huge vote center, the scranton area, but this is a traditional, big democratic area, wolf and in a state like this if you underperform in the places you know you have your votes that s what happens. this is at 81%. she s winning by about 75,000 votes. you look at these smaller counties, most of them are in. we have a ways to go here. so if you re the clinton
