A weeknight look at the news, featuring interviews, analysis and Panel Discussions hosted by Bret Baier. Ahead but there are about 8,000 provisional votes that need to be counted. Can you believe how close this is . [cheers and applause] we are in a tied a ball game. For Democrat Danny Oconnor to be in a race this tight in the district, no democrat has won this in 38 years and that had him delivering wet sure sounded like a victory speech last night. You believed in us in a race that the pond and said we had no chance even being in. You proved them wrong. By getting close wont be enough to help democrats retake the house this november. They have come close and for other special elections in reliably red districts, but they have only 11 of those. They are banking on a wave of energy. Do you believe that President Trumps support is the reason you wanted . I dont believe its the full reason i want but it was deftly helpful. Our numbers really surged.
