he leads -- >> he's behind. >> jon tester is losing by 49 votes to matt rosendale. this was a race that frankly most republicans didn't think they had a chance of knocking him off. it was on the list but down the list. donald trump went to montana over and over again because he was upset with jon tester and how he treated his doctor. >> what are you seeing there? >> ronnie jackson. >> so when we look at montana, it's a red state. but when tester won this seat in 2012, it looked more of a mosaic. there was more of a mosaic blue and red. we're seeing a lot of red which obviously is not a good sign for tester. in billings, this was really, really close. but tester would have wanted to win this. this is one of the biggest districts. he lost here only by about maybe 600 votes or so. this is a really close race in montana. >> very close. we'll see where the vote is coming in. only 50-something votes separate john tester and matt rosendale. ♪ ♪ connecting people... ...uniting the world. ♪♪ well, it's a whole day's worth of love songs. or 300 minutes of baby videos.

dean heller, matt rosendale, scott walker, are all republicans he campaigned with who didn't win their races. >> thanks for that, guys. stick around. a lot of milestones, a lot of change last night. for those people who think, well, the president is downplaying what happened -- >> no way, no way. >> there are very big things that happened. >> a record number of women and minorities running and winning. for the first time ever, native american women will be represented in congress. >> you said that plural, women. >> joining us now is one of those members in the state of new mexico, congress ann-elect deb holland. congresswoman, congratulations. >> thank you. >> for you, what's the first issue you want to tackle? >> thank you, steph, thank you, ali for having me on. really happy to be here. look, the first issue, the top issue in my campaign here in new mexico is fighting climate change and moving toward a renewable energy economy. that's a winning message here in new mexico. we have a state that has 310 days of sun per year. but look, there's so many issues that are important. making su

the incumbent democrat jon tester facing a very stiff challenge from the republican matt rosendale. too early to call in montana. let's take a look at the balance of power in the senate where things stand right now with these projec

a few days ago the republican auditor matt rosendale got a game changing endorsement from the libertarian candidate, if the libertarian dropped out of the race it would be a big deal. in 2012 the montana senate race the libertarian candidate won 7% of the vote. the republican at that time had all those votes, all those people, who republicans want to those votes six weeks ago they went to the libertarian votes too. and the issue of dark money. and in an unknown group, without his permission. >> stark money is an outside influence, bigger than all of us. i don't think matt or john could stand up to the political parties and say enough is enough. >> whether or not that situation will impact this race remains to be seen. in the room behind me no clear winner tonight as of right now with a little of the votes, 3% of the vote. >> alan, you can come at this from the left. >> blue wave. >> in the house. it seems hard to call it a blue wave when we go through senate battles, a long way from that but if montana flips to the republicans you could see a scenario where donald trump has 55 seats incre

at the moment has republican matt rosendale leading over tester. tester's team says they're feeling good now because there are so many votes left to be counted in key areas. rosendale's camp echoing a similar sentiment watching areas in the state typically republican strongholds. both candidates speaking last night. >> there are great workers around the state. will i take time. >> they will be dribbling votes in for quite some time and we wanted to come out and address everybody and come out here and spend time with you. i just don't know how long it is going to take. >> here in california some house races aren't too close to call. democrat reuter leading over incumbent roar backer in the orange county area of california. >> sandra: republicans flipping senate seats to add to their majority in the upper chamber. many of the republican senate candidates who embraced president trump came out winners. take a look. >> thank you, mr. president, for your leadership and for believing in missouri tonight. >> there are a lot of people that helped in this ra

matt rosendale with 48.8% of the vote there then we have another state to look at as well and also we have mississippi. that's a key one this is going to a runoff that goes well into the end of the month. we won't know mississippi's second senate seat until november 27. we don't know what the senate will look like until the end of this month a big surprise is what was motivating the voters who went to the country look at this, health care, 41% of the voters nationwide said this was the most important issue. this is the first time in the history of this exit poll that health care had been number one in a presidential or midterm year that is a very surprising result typically what's been the big result the economy. 22% in time around, 41% health care, what was the issue that the president based his entire campaign on immigration. just 23% of the respondents said that immigration was their most important issue. this is going to scratch heads on capitol hill as democrats and republicans figure out how can they talk to in this issue in a way that's coherent with democrats controlling the h

rosendale. >> it was a tough race it was a race that broke records. i believe when it's all said and done and the number of people that voted in our great state and amount of money spent in this race. >> a jury has been picked for the trial of mexican drug lord el chappo. the trial set to begin november 13th with opening statements the jurors names have been kept anonymous for security reasons you're up to date. i will send it back downtown to you. >> thank you very much for that. >>> now, back to the markets all three up 2% or more. that's 541 points. let's send it over now for what's driving the big rally >> the dow jones up about 2% breaking above 26,000. it is a level it hasn't traded at in over a month the dow is up 5% in the lows it hit on october 29th. the s&p, traders saying they are ignoring the drama out of washington and focused on the bipartisan cooperation let's take a look at some of the major sectors that are pushing this market higher health care, consumer discretionary but back to health care, it is worth noting that aetna, all of tho

during the midterms he was greeted by republican senate candidate matt rosendale. he won the state by about 20 votes. he tried to convince voters to continue to move ahead he needs them to vote for republicans. jon tester is four points ahead of rosendale in the polls. president trump is trying to paint senator tester someone who is lockstep with the big-name democrats back in d.c. >> far left dem i can't think jon tester, by the way, who will never vote. he is saying wonderful things now about me. he might be a nice guy except he tried to destroy admiral ronnie jackson, who, most clean-cut, wonderful person that you have ever met. he tried to destroy him. and i have never forgotten it. remember this, tester voted against your tax cuts, tester voted against "kate's law". reporter: the people we spoke to at this rally today by and large said they came here to see president trump not necessarily the candidates he is stumping for. >> oh, i've already voted yeah. i voted red, all the way. >> i am hoping he can stay on message and convince people to vote correctly on tu

the man hoping to take test's seat matt rosendale is he taking a bit of a different approach. is he getting a lot of help from president trump. >> you folks know jon tester has had 12 years to fix the problems for the veterans administration and he has failed us. he tried to destroy admiral ronny jackson. remember, this tester voted against your tax cuts. tester voted against kate's law. >> montana has one of the highest per capita percentages of veterans. veteran issues are a big deal in this senate race. tester is the ranking member on the senate veteran affairs committee. >> i will veterans the day i go to the grave why because they fought for me. today it might be a different narrative tomorrow. >> tester is about 4 points ahead of rosendale according to the real clear politics average. the president has now campaigned in montana this election cycle four times. the president is hoping because he has a fairly high approval rating in this stated it typic solid above 50% in most polls and worn this state in 2016 by about 20 points. is he hoping that he can move the needle in

rosendale in tight race in montana, this one is up in the air right now. president trump remember vowed last spring that tester would pay at the polls, first nominee for veterans affairs secretary that was jackson, democrats picked up seat in closely watched state of nevada, rosen defeated dean heller making nevada the fifth state to have two female senators. well, fox has not called the wisconsin gubernatorial race just yet, evers leading and scott walker at 48% right now. state low does permit recounts. we will see, walker is not conceding to evers after ap called the race, then the georgia, republican brian kemp has narrow lead against abrams, oprah winfrey was on the campaign for abrams and so was president obama, erased those to runoff if neither candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, so we are watching these. now there's also this this morning, tomorrow's meeting between secretary of state mike pompeo and top-ranking north korean official has actually been postponed indefinitely the meeting to decide on date for next summit between president t

. >> matt rosendale will be a reliable supporter of president trump. trump won montana by 20 points. tester voted against kavanaugh, gorsuch, the tax cuts. he is for obamacare. is he out of touch with montana he is trying to undercut the election. steve: don't forget ronny jackson. >> ronny jackson, destroyed the man. i'm going there to remind people when it comes to the election of 2016 where trump won tester has undercut trump at every turn. south dakota great will governor for candidate. remind people how badly they treated brett kavanaugh. what they will do for power's sake and they there are no boundaries when it comes to them. we have got to keep the senate and grow our majority to get these judges on the court. brian: senator, real quick, if anyone is going to cut a deal in the senate, it's always been you. is this your way of saying i'm throwing up my hands? >> no. this is the way of saying i'm going to fight for my side of the aisle and i will cut deals with you after the election. but, what you did is you basically took the rule of law, turne

anthony list backed republican candidates for senate matt rosendale in montana and marsha blackburn in tennessee. ads were pulled by facebook yesterday and they say this is the sixth time they've had an ad campaign shut down. a sample of one of these paid political adds. >> phil bredesen is two extreme for tennessee. we have pro-life champion marsha blackburn running for senate voting to ban partial birth abortions. she values life. >> tom cotton tweeted facebook going all in to cover for liberal phil bredesen. retwoet to spread the add to facebook banned and vote marsha. as for facebook the social media giant insists it does not have policies that prohibit pro-life speech. it has a policy that requires for ads for or against certain issues. they said neither of the ads violate facebook's policies and they shouldn't have been rejected. the ads have been restored and now running on facebook. other pro-life ads were blocked in arizona and iowa recently depicting children who survived premature birth. this is a very sensitive topic with what are expected to be a number of very close senat

john tester trying to hold off matt rosendale. right now, the gap stands at 1,558 votes operaseparating the of them. the good news for jon tester, the good news for su the vote that is still remaining, only about 83% here in cascade county. you go down here, this is sort of the boseman area. only about 80% in right here. it's the bigger democratic areas. i think the biggest one, actually, would be -- i thought i hit missoula. only three quarters of the vote in there. big democratic county. so t the tefit is the big teste that have come in there. not a lot of republican area, really, that is left here. the other outstanding senate race right now we're keeping an eye on is in arizona. if this will actually load up on the screen, martha mcsally with a 15,000 vote advantage right now over sinema. there's still a couple hundred thousand votes to be counted. we're in the election-day vote, which is being tabulated now. mcsally seems to have done better. and down here, this is simena leading here. but that election day vote possibly in t

rosendale. this is still a toss-up at this hour. usually the vote comes in late in montana. we watching this race very closely. and the polls have closed in nevada. cbs is still calling this a toss-up with democrats optimistic about a democratic pickup in this stase statewith jacky rosen, against the current senator dean heller. we're going to be watching nevada very, very closely. let's check back in the lone star state because this has been bouncing back and forth as the tally comes in. cbs news has it leaning republican, but we continue to watch this race very closely tonight with just now 76% of the vote in. so lots more to say about texas. jeff glor is with anthony salvanto at the cbs news decision desk. jeff. >> glor: i have burrod my way into the decision desk here, norah, which is a fascinating place to be right now. let's talk about florida in particular. 99% of the vote in. but neither of the big races, the senate race and the governor's races in florida have been called. why? >> 99% o

and matt rosendale, it looks like jester is pulling away, but no call there at this point. let's go to allison who is standing by in helena, montana,. >> hey, good evening to both of you. we spoke to the team tonight and heading into this evening, both have said that they feel pretty good about tonight. jon tester says that he thinks they have had a lot of enthusiasm on their side. they are over 700,000 registered voters in the state of montana. so far, the secretary of state so they counted about 115,000 of those. in many ways, this has been a national versus local race. a tester versus trump race. when you talk to rosendale, he talks about how he believes roses, voters want to support president trump's agenda. he is that guy. he talks a lot about the tax cut that this administration has done. things on the national level. tester has focused more on local issues. he talks about public land use, health care, veterans issues as well as corruption. in fact, he kind of stays away from really attacking president trump. president trump came to the state worker different times, h

president trump is looking to push republican matt rosendale into the senate seat and bump john tester. he is a senator who released allegations that trump's pick for the secretary of veterans affairs had been overprescribing drugs and was drinking and fostered a hostile work environment leading to a withdrawal of that pick. a retribution for that and missouri also getting multiple visits from the president where democratic senator's claire mccaskill's seat is a toss up and they hope a minimum wage referendum with motivate progressives through the polls and president trump is stumping for the republican state attorney general josh howley, polls show him leading but within the margin of error in addition to montana today the president will head to florida where governor rick scott is looking to take the senate seat away from the democratic incumbent there, bill nelson. guys back to you. !9-muju bringing that in.ke pete: thanks mike appreciate it. well i.c.e. wanted to deport him , but instead, an illegal immigrant was released and now he's accused accused of mud, plus the trump economy

rosendale in montana. tester may lose that seat. 94% of the vote in there in mississippi there will a runoff later in the month. so we have some time before we know the full makeup of the senate the expectation here is that some of these states will take a while, several hours to call we don't think we'll see any clarity here we can tell you for sure that republicans maintain control and pick up at least two seats >> several hours, we're doing four we can do several hours. we can do that in our sleep. you remember florida and the hanging chads? that was several months. hours we can do. get it right, just take your time >> wise words. >> thank you we'll have more from you and the gang back at hq throughout the program. >> joining us now is founder and chief investment officer, ed bonson and ed keon from qma. and our guest host is peter boockvar from bleakly advisory group which is usually his view on the economy as well, also a cnbc contributor that works any way. who wants to start it was consensus, wasn't

he is behind to republican matt rosen dale in that race -- rosendale. in that race. a separation of about 3000 votes. in florida, over 8 million votes cast and in the senate race, senator bill nelson behind by ,ust about 30,000 votes continue watching that and arizona, you mentioned the two congresswoman running against each other -- congresswoman running against each other. martha mcsally to kyrsten sinema. almost at 100 -- 100% reporting. we are going to overtime in mississippi. yvette is the other race that has yet to been called. we will find out the results in the runoff happening later in the year. two tweets from the leaders of both parties, both claiming victory. tweet "tonighta was a win for the democrats and democracy. we won the house because democrats had a clear message for local families and now it is time to get to work, holding trump accountable. a tweet from the president around midnight. a tremendous success tonight, thank you to all. host: a story in the washington post this morning talking about the agenda she will set. one series of anticorruptio
