president. all at the forefront as a nation once again heads to the polls. an election is not a referendum, it s a choice. at the center, control of congress with a 50/50 senate boiling down to a series of tight races that could tip the scale. the open nature of our border which john fetterman supports. trying to make himself not appear to be the radical leftist that he is. this is the man who spent 12 years in office misleading people. it s the voice of the voters that will prevail. which issues matter most to them in this final stretch. after roe, i ve never lived in this type of era. gas prices, food prices. everything is so expensive now. from the nation s capital and from just down the road from the u.s. capitol, i m steve kornacki, and we re eight days away from the midterm election that will decide who controls that building right behind me. the margins, they could not be tighter. democrats clinging to a senate majority thanks only to the tie-break
