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. Peck pick up the senate and keep the house. The plan for the republicans. More momentum. Campaign on the strength of the economy. As well as trump tax cuts. For, for the, the november mid terms. That its the hope they believe. Actually, you know, maybe holding on to the house. Through tax cu
for his letter and said, i ll see you soon. we just have to watch and see what unfolds in the cupping weeks. you know, that s, something i could not imagine a year or so ago. now i can. will, thank you. live for us in hong kong. take a short break. next here on newsroom l.a., california s fire season has just begun. but of the state is already facing historic wildfires. and there is no end in sight. when i received the diagnoses,
to say something. i think that s right. it s key to look at that. but what s striking to me is that these numbers, in terms of who turned out and the racial background of who turned out and how they voted, was actually fairly predictable, except for what we re talking about, which is the overwhelming number of african-americans who voted for roy moore. so most things actually in the alabama race, after all of our talk about the fact that you mean the african-americans that voted for doug jones? excuse me, for doug jones. so all of our discussion about how people thought, well, all of these accusations are going to be a factor, the exit polls show the majority of people that said accusations of sexual harassment and pedophilia weren t a factor. okay. i think it tells us race, race, and race. yeah. jessica and areva, thank you both. a quick break here. next on newsroom l.a., we ll
not accept responsibility, but he s at his best when he s selling himself. he s at a loss selling other candidates and to speak on behalf of the party and other candidates. as long as donald trump can stay out of the way of the party, they ll be okay. but they ve had a problem trying to control him or direct him. that is the understatement. can we also just note that president obama also weighed in on this race and had robocalls and he helped galvanize the african-american vote. we ll come back in the next hour and see what part that played in all of this. thank you for being with us. a call for donald trump to step down escalates with a female senator. why he is being called sexist, next on newsroom l.a. erve cars to find my next vacation. chile, what s going on? i m at the el tatio geysers. geezer. geyser. geezer. geyser. enough. geezer. whoaa, wooooo. dude, be careful. i think you should come camping. why would i camp in the atacama desert?
all. this is a bad candidate who had huge problems embraced by the president. but still, it wasn t his choice in the primary. to the point that was made earlier about the democrat yth , in this case, it will be interesting to see what chuck schumer will do with him. he s the blank slate. when he gets in the senate, are they going to let him vote like a red state democrat, voting with the republicans all the time, or hold him in line because the margins are so thin? if they make him vote with the other democrats frequently, he s toast. everyone, we ll take a short break. when we come back on newsroom l.a., who will take the fall for this stunning loss in alabama. we know the finger pointing at the white house has already begun. donald trump is facing new accusations of sexism as he spars with a female senator. the details are just ahead. us lives here. where we can find common ground.
