i want to congratulate matt rosendale on a hard-fought race. this was a tough race. it was a race that broke records both i believe when it's all said and done in the number of people who have voted in our great state and the amount of must be that was spent, an unprecedented amount of money was spent in this race. it was a race that saw the president of the united states come here four times. it was a race that saw his son come here probably that many times. vice president came here three times. but -- >> you beat them all. [cheers and applause] >> montanans spoke loud and clear about the direction they want montana to go and the direction of our state. because montanans know the challenges we face. montanans know what we need in this state as a rural state to make sure we can compete in the 1st century. quite frankly, i hope the president comes back. many times. i do. but not for political rallies. in all seriousness, not for political rallies, but to see che the challenge we was in our state. to take a look at that v.a. clinic in missoula, montana, see how undersi

matt rosendale pulls ahead. you are starting to watch this. tester won a close race. not a lot of change in the map. the question is, you pick democratic areas here. jon tester how is he doing? 53%. go back six years, about the same. just start to go through this. as you go through the map, you see tester underperforming or is rosendale overperforming. tester at 64. go back in time. tester at 64. it's filling in. he had a close race last time, all three-points. 3 1/2 points. now, trailing. this, again, you look at this map, this is one of the

challenger matt rosendale left their election parties not knowing if they won or lost. >> we are almost there, almost there, we just wanted to thank everybody for coming out tonight. looks like a long night. >> we still have folks voting. i look forward to sharing with you tomorrow some very good news but again give it time. >> reporter: and many raised this race seemed to be national versus local race, donald trump visited for rallies four times, he said this race is personal, he can't forget tester's role in derailing the nomination of ryan jackson for va secretary, the president's approval rating around 50%, democrats do not see this as a race between trump and tester, tester campaigned with local political figures like actor jeff bridges, part-time resident who is very popular, president obama, vice president or former vice president joe biden, they did not come your, tester did not aggressively attack donald trump, focused on things like public land use, veterans issues and healthcare, rosendale told voters if they like donald trump's agenda they need to vote for him because he wil

republican matt rosendale has a slightly over democrat john tester. same in arizona, we are waiting to find out who will be the state's first female senator. martha mc sally has the edge at the moment but we have to wait a couple days to find out who will win and finally in nevada a win for the democrats, jackie rosen defeated incumbent republican senator dean heller late last night but some of those races are too close to call. jillian: breaking that all down. rob: donald trump takes republicans to victory in key battleground states flipping four seats read in the senate but democrats now own the house. jillian: the biggest midterm take aways, republican strategist david mcintosh. thank you for your time. we wants to get right in here. let's look at this scorecard, 59 candidates donald trump rallied for. looking at updated numbers 33 of those candidates won, 14 candidates lost, 12 have not been called. those are pretty good numbers. >> donald trump really won last night in these elections. you see that happening even in the close calls in montana whe

i was out with matt rosendale in montana and people were giving him the old attaboy and we're rooting for you. it's the kind of thing his candidacy had been lacking against john tester. that authentic montanan. always overcome his party identification. he's really one of them and i think what kavanaugh did was awaken a complacent conservative electorate and that's why this is closed. the libertarian candidate dropping out after early voting began means that the boost he could have provided had he gotten out a lot earlier may be neutered a little bit. >> interesting, yeah. so over in georgia, do you think that stacy abrams has a shot in that red state? >> yeah, really interesting because i'm always skeptical of georgia showing democrats in the game. the election happens and it's never close as those polls suggested but my republican sources that know how to poll georgia say this is real, it's a toss-up and not because republicans are not enthusiastic to vote. they expect to pull a big huge vote out of the rural areas that generally pull republicans in large numbers. mr. kefrp is strugg

challenger matt rosendale, and that's almost within the margin of error. it's a very tight race. >> it's laughable that he sits there and talks about campaign finance and he is the largest recipient of contributions from lobbyists in the nation. >> talk about dark money, i paid for my ads. there's a few dark money ads on and i can't stop them. >> martha: so it's the ads in the montana senate race that have become the headlines lately. this ad appears to be sent by rick breckinridge, in order to take away votes from matt rosendale, is the thinking here. but breckinridge denies ever sending this mailer out and now conservatives are pointing to 2012 when a similar thing happened in an attempt to use a libertarian candidates to take votes away from the opponent. so here to sort this out, real clear politics national reporter. so what's going on here? >> basically in 2012, this was the same thing that happened. jon tester -- we don't know in2 but there was a mysterious mailers sent out to the libertarian candidate who they present in the mailer as the real cons

still a race between myself and matt rosendale for united states senator. the difference between me and my opponent are 180 degrees on nearly every issue, that's what it is about. whether the president comes here or not doesn't make a difference, still a race between matt rosendale and myself. i will tell you this, i think the president coming is a good thing and i would like to see him get around, not just do rallies, but see some of the challenges in a rural state like montana. he is from new york city. he could learn a lot. >> reporter: senator tester getting a dig in there, saying the president is from new york city, could learn a lot by traveling around montana. fredricka, the president won't be doing that. he is cutting to an airport rally, staying here a brief period of time, then flying to florida. the senate and governor's race there. you mentioned the early vote that's coming in. here in montana, the majority vote by mail. two-thirds of the ballots are already in. more coming in monday. you have to ask are rallies at the end of the race as effecti

matt rosendale, jon tester presents a clear contrast. jon tester doesn't even have a hunting license and he lives in montana. matt rosendale i think is the man you want to vote for. >> dana: i do want to bring up one other race, michigan. i have a good friend of mine who said watch michigan. john james is the republican candidate, challenger against the incumbent. a voice mail from a reporter that was left on john james' message. listen to this. >> and he beats her. jesus. that would suck. i don't think it's going to happen though. >> dana: that was a reporter. john james last night was on tucker carlson's show trying to make the case he could win. very good friend of mine said watch michigan. this could be a big surprise. have we not talked enough about michigan? >> i don't think people have talked about michigan. john james is a phenomenal candidate. you talk about the religious devotion in that voice mail that was left. i think this will be an tune for us to pick this seat up. john james closed this race very much so in the last few d

you look at the statistics now, matt rosendale ahead. you're looking at the map and saying okay, what can we find? let's just go looking through the big democratic areas by montana standards, 100% in. 100% in. so you come back out here, and you're looking at the map, 61%. so if you're tester, you're thinking okay, i'm winning here by ten points. here is an opportunity. let's see. we got some more votes to count. you start looking at the smaller areas if you go back to the last race, which is a close race for jon tester, which is montana, he won this big. so if you're jon tester and looking at the map, you're saying okay, i got a chance down here. but if you're matt rosendale and the republicans, you're looking in this corner, go back six years, republican wins it big. so now you're sitting in the headquarters, and you're calling. you're calling all your county people and check your list, double-check your list, what's outstanding. what's the problem? the other thing you're saying is why do we have 61% here and 100% there. and nothing her

matt rosendale, club for growth spent $5 million on that. >> that was our biggest spend. a disappointment. we lost that narrowly in the end. what really happened there, john, was right after the primaries, we didn't have any money left. we helped him win a tough primary. and tester to his credit did a good job and immediately started attacking him. so june, the month of june, matt rosendale had so many negative ads run against him that by the time we replenished our coffers in july, he was under what they call underwater. more negative impressions than positive. and that just hurt us from then. now, i will say we demonstrated to everybody that would have been a good investment because he was down ten points in july, and we narrowed it down to really a tie towards the end. tester with a big surge of voting in the end won by 2%, 2.5%. and jon tester ran a good campaign. had we had a little more money in june, i think we would have won. >> richard in kentucky, republican. thanks for waiting. >> caller: yes, sir. you know, i'm 71 years old. i watched all this unfold. you know

rosendale. he discussed the election with reporters wednesday afternoon.

john tester. 3,300 votes behind matt rosendale. the good news for tester. this is bozeman. still only a little half the vote counted. i'm looking around great falls here. a lot to come in. that will help him. blai blaine. roosevelt county, a big indian reservation out there. you have some sort of core big democratic areas. i think glacier might even, we have votes coming in. there are some rural republican areas, too. but wow, he's fighting for his life right now. the other senate story in arizona. the vote continues to come in. martha mcsally opening up a big lead. maricopa county, two thirds of the state population wise. sinemma leading here. it seems to be the story. i was just told that milwaukee county has reported. wow! look at that. it was a couple thousand votes. milwaukee county put that uncounted absentee, they just reported it out. tony evers, you can see, he expands there. he now leads by 37,000 votes. and i can tell you, there are some outstanding precincts. >> are there enough votes out there for scott walker? >> no. i'm looking for recount provisions. 1.4% st

. >> this is a race between myself and matt rosendale. and who is best fit to serve montana. who is best fit to take back the rural perspective of this state and fight for it. >> i think that they have watched jon tester oppose the president's agenda on every turn. and they are not satisfied with that. >> with about half of the precincts reporting, rosendale 49. tester is at 48. when i spoke to rosendale's team a few hours ago. they told me they see the closeness of this has been this close throughout the entire night. about a point between the two. they say they see that as a positive thing for them because they said when the polls close, they were down by 5. so they are looking at this tight race right now as good for them. still waiting to see what the other 50% of voters have to say about this. back to you guys. ed: ellison barber live from helena, montana. brian: hold a press conference at 11:30 this morning in the east room of the white house. the event is open to the press. game on. new day, two years left. ed: here we go. absolute

matt -- where this ends up. matt rosendale. where's the outstanding vote and can jon tester find a pathway to winning the race? there's four counties outstanding, less than 90%. they're all blue. tester has a vote here. pull out, great falls, a police he's winning. still not a ton of vote. the bigger problem for tester, missoula, this is dem country. only 73% reporting. there's pathways here, too. the big question with 4,000 votes behind is can he rack that up. 4,000 in montana is a pretty good number of vote. now when you look at the county, these are democratic counties. there's not a huge number of vote there. tester has a pathway, when you look at the map, it's just not a big pathway. the question is where does the rest of the vote come in. martha mcsally, arizona, currently holding the 14,000-vote lead over kyrsten sinema. where is the vote now? pretty much all here. that's a problem for sinema. 82% reporting. mcsally with the lead of 17 points. we've been waiting on maricopa almost the entire night. sinema still holds the

race is in a dead heat with jon tester and matt rosendale. trump sticking to the script, baseless claims about the migrant caravan and now some insight why trump chooses this rhetoric. >> they all say speak about the economy, speak about the economy. well, we have the greatest economy in the history of our country. but sometimes, it's not as exciting to talk about the economy, right? >> let's bring in doug high, the former rnc communications director and hilary rosen. you first. the economy is a great sell for the president, so why not focus on that instead of this fear strategy? i mean, this president can boast that these are probably the best economic numbers, you know, in 60 years for a president during a midterm elections and wouldn't this benefit him and his party? >> it would benefit all republicans. we get jobs numbers every friday that have been very good for this administration but when the numbers come out at 8:30, the president is probably already tweeted something guaranteed we'll talk about anything else which doesn't help republ

it's still a race between matt rosendale and myself. although, i will tell you this. i think the president coming was a good thing. and i would like to see him get around and not just do rallies but actually see some of the challenges we have in a rural state like montana. he's from new york city. he could learn a lot. >> so jon tester there taking a bit of a dig at the president saying he's a new york city developer and lowering my voice here as they're doing a prayer before the rally but no question, this race is one of the most competitive. i'm told the president is telling his advisers, this is the one he wants to win the most. he's having a bit of a personal feud with jon tester over who's going to lead the v.a. earlier this year and that's one of the reasons that president trump has been out here so often. we'll see what happens on tuesday. the final stop here before flying to florida tonight. fredricka? >> jeff zeleny, thank you so much in belgrade, montana. president trump will finish in pensacola, florida. cnn white house correspondent boris sanchez in pensac

a little more than 3,000 votes, but he is ahead of his challenger, matt rosendale. let's go to maine. maine is an interesting case because angus king is an independent. he caucuses with the democrats in the democratic column. he's ahead by a wide margin but only 17% of the vote is in, which is why we're waiting to see if it's going to stay in angus king's column. i should say, nevada is out there. we haven't gotten any votes back from nevada. that is one of the seats that the republicans, dean heller, is trying to hold on to. i want to go down to nia to talk about the governors' races. >> let's look at wisconsin, a race we were eyeing all night. it's still, tight, tight, tight. 6,200 votes separating the democrat, tony evers, from the republican, incumbent, scott walker. 93% reporting, a really, really close race. in connecticut, some good news, and a possible flip here for republicans. bob stefanowski is up 28,000 votes over ned lamont. still some votes to be counted there. that could be a pickup for republicans. in georgia, another race we're watching, brian kemp

in montana, jon tester now projected to win his senate race against matt rosendale. president trump and vice president pence made several trips to montana to campaign for him, but tester who wins there. republicans have retained control of the senate. the democrats lost two seats down to 43. the gop gained two seats and now has 51 seat. a handful of seats are still to be determined. meanwhile, dianne feinstein won her race here in california with quite a significant lead. 97% of precincts reporting. she was up 67%. of course he congratulated her last night in his concession speech last night. he lost despite the endorsement of the state democratic party, which was a clear message that party leaders wanted a more combative approach to handling the trump administration. all memberses of the house of representatives were up for re-election and here are the latest results. democrats expected to gain 28 seats bringing their total up to 223 seats in the house. the gop will lose 27 seats. that's down to 201 seats. the results are still a toss up in a few highly contested di

the republican challenger, matt rosendale is ahead of the democratic incumbent, jon tester, with fewer than 2,000 votes separating these guys. the governor's race between brian kemp and the democrat stacey abrams is still up in the air. there are reports that thousands of absentee ballots still need to be count. we're also waiting for a call in the state of connecticut where the leading candidates for governor are separated by only 18,000 votes. don't forget, every vote counts. and finally in arizona where the senate race between republican martha mcsally and democrat kyrsten sinema was a dead heat before election day. at this point it is still too close to call. these two women are separated by less than one percentage point. von hillyard is in arizona. the result is a woman and it's the first time a woman holds this seat from the state of arizona. but tell us which one. how soon are we going to get this answer? >> the reality is we probably will not know today. we will probably not know tomorrow. maybe tomorrow evening we'll start to get a little bit better sense. this could roll all

yesterday was an interesting day, it's not over electoral wise as we're watching montana where matt rosendale was up and hopefully will stay up but it is so close we don't know how it will come up. we saw an influx of conservatives in the senate and we saw in the vast numb of races in the house the primary trend was those who ran and fought for conservative principals survived -- principles survived. not every single one but the real wipeout was among the left side of the republican caucus that followed house leadership advice on not nationalizing the race. don't run on important principled proposals. part of the problem was they had not kept their promises from 2016. something that as you heard here from others, jim jordan has advocated strongly, you've all heard him say, we need to do what we said we would do. and the house leadership actually urged their members to run campaigns away from that theme. incredibly enough. and the results were predictable losses. that now leave us in a position where we are probably a week out from a leadership contest. and until the republicans commit to retu

they vote for matt rosendale it's a vote for low taxes, low unemployment, strong borders, and montana values. >> reporter: while the president was in montana, vice president mike pence was in wisconsin. and former vice president joe biden campaigned for democrats in ohio. former president barack obama hit the trail in georgia and florida friday, leveling harsh criticism against the trump administration, a sign of how high the stakes are in the 2018 midterms. >> they promised to take on corruption. instead, they have racked up enough indictments to field a football team. >> reporter: democrats need 23 seats to control the house of representatives and 2 seats to control the senate. after 2016, neither party is taking anything for granted. nbc news, new york. >>> in sannc dolores park today, activists marched in support of prop c at a get out the vote rally. prop c aims to help address the homeless problem by taxing large companies. sales force chairman and co-ceo mark benioff is a high-profile supporter. he says the homeless problem is an epidemic and san francisco has no choice but to

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 projections. 38 democrats. they will be in the senate. 45 republicans in the senate including one pickup. 17 seats right now remain outstanding in the u.s. senate. we're watching those 17 seats. democrats must pick up three republican seats and not lose any more of their own. three republican seats in order to get closer and closer to the majority. it's looking tough for the democrats right there. let's go over to john king and take a closer look because these senate contests are very significant. the house races very significant. two different pictures emerging right now. >> two very different pictures. i was just peeking at florida as you were coming over. 99% now in the senate race. let's look at the governor's race. 99%. the republicans on top in both of them. so your question is when you get to this, let's go back and use the senate race because this is ke

but tell us about some of the dirty tricks that have his challenger, matt rosendale back in the hunt tonight. >> well, a libertarian candidate. he doesn't dropout but endorsed rosendale. the livetarian -- libertarian wasn't getting a lot of support in the polls. the problem is we've only had two polls in october. one was completed two weeks ago. so we have almost no data in montana to tell us what is going on there. trump has been there. this could be a surprise election night because we don't have good data on what's going on. >> laura: doug, in florida things are interesting there. it looked like gillum built a big momentum. then we started hearing more about this corruption, the -- getting bribes, potentially, the fbi investigation and now stuff with the anti- israel group. and now his lead has been cut in half and obviously trump spending a lot of time there as well. what's going on? >> look, florida is a very close toss up state in both the governor's race and the senate race. and you're exactly right. gillum opened a double digits lead. since then, we've heard a lot more about

rosendale. republicans want to try and capitalize on the trump factor trying to make this a more national race. rosendale is talking about things like the economy, jobs, the tax cut, he's also talking about the supreme court vote and trying to hang tester on the fact he did not vote in favor of kavanaugh. democrats and john tester in particular, they're trying to keep this race more local. he's talking a lot about healthcare, public land, veterans also talking about corruption and government accountability. this is president trump's fourth visit to montana of late there are no big democrats here no visit from president obama or vice president joe biden. instead tester has been campaign ing with actor jeff bridges, whose a part-time montana resident. president trump usually starts his rallies by talking about the economy. you can bet he's going to talk about that. today, he's already tweeting about the job numbers, democrats say the economic success is now started under them, the president disagr

republican matt rosendale gaining ground against jon tester. in the latest poll, tester is down by three. 50% of the state voted it will all depend on turnout tomorrow. tester voted with schumer 87% of the time, you might as well have schumer in tennessee, a very important race. marshall marshall blackburn sho, but anything could happen. in nevada, races are always close. republican senator dean heller in a must hold seat for the republicans. we will have an actual race on her hands and west virginia between incumbent democrat joe manchin and patrick morrissey. and in florida, let me be blunt. everything in florida is as usual too close to call. democratic do-nothing schumer, democrat bill nelson against rick scott who has been there again and again for the people of florida. in florida the gubernatorial race also so tight between ron desantis and corrupt socialists. by the way, wouldn't it be great if we could get from an fbi investigator free tickets to hamilton and free vacations like gillam, and the worst crime rate in all of florida. repub

in montana, jon tester trying to hold off matt rosendale. you see tester leading statewide. here's what i can show you quickly. tester had a close re-election in 2012. in a lot of key counties, if you just start looking at them, flathead county, republican county. in 2012 when tester won re-election, he only got 37% here in this core republican county. he's doing eight points better. he won statewide getting 37% of the vote here. how about lewis and clark, helena, a democratic county. tester got 54% of the vote when he was narrowly re-elected in 2012. he's running seven or eight points better than when he won re-election. it's too early to call but you see tester out in front in montana. >> steve, can i -- there are five democratic senators who are up for re-election tonight who are not just from states that trump held but from states that trump held by double digits in 2016. mccaskill, heitkamp, donnelly, manchin and tester. manchin has definitely held onto his seat and tester, as you said, too early to call. looks like he's well situated compared to his previous election c

rosendale. cnn's jeff zeleny is there. the president has said he loves airports and hangars because it's easy landing and the crowd is there and then he picks up and moves on to the next location. what is likely the message there in belgrade? >> reporter: fredericka, you're seeing the trump show here live. air force one just landed here. this is exactly what his supporters are seeing. as you said, he likes to do this. it's why he's flying all over the country. but this is the fourth time that president trump has visited montana since july. that underscores how important he believes this senate race is. he is taking it as one of his personal goals of this midterm election season to try and defeat jon tester. of course democratic senator jon tester running for his third term in the u.s. senate, facing a credible challenge here largely because president trump has decided to engage so much in this race. montanans have never seen a u.s. president visit so much as president trump has. we'll see if tha

rosendale. it has happened with several add six times over the past few months. >> and they are censoring our ads. >> facebook insist they don't have policies that prohibit pro-life speech and a spokesperson apologize for what the company calls a mistake. "neither of these ads violate these books policies. it also happened to ads had, that received life may saving medical care after being born prematurely. this is the controversy involving facebook over the past two years. from the spread of misinformation by the russians to the mishandling of data and accusations of stifling conservative speech. >> this is a concern that i have and try to root out in the company, making sure that we don't have any bias in the work that we do. >> facebook source says this error was as a result of automated systems, but those areas need and never seem to happen with liberal groups. >> bret: a couple notes for your calendar. sunday 8:00 p.m. eastern, martha maccallum and i will preview the tuesday elections, analy

rosendale. virginia is unique because that's a place president trump won with the highest margin in 2016, patrick worley is running against someone who will vote for everything president trump wants to do. but that isn't the only state with a democratic incumbent, they think they are going to win despite being off the radar compared to other contests. in arizona republicans are hoping to hang onto the seats vacated by jeff flake, who is retiring. martha mcsally is following president trump's lead and putting a caravan and border security front and center wheres the democrats favor sending immigration judges instead of troops to intercept migrants. in nevada, obamacare is a huge issue. jackie rosen supports protecting it, expanding it, she is challenging senator dean keller voted to repeal it. heller is looking for red votes everywhere else. >> harris: thank you very much in florida today. meanwhile, democrats are pinning their hopes on the house, where control of the lower chamber onn the hill i

s best efforts, prevailed against republican matt rosendale and will begin his third term in the u.s. senate >> they saw how political the president was making this race. >> test there is >> a red state that president trump won in 2016. he voted against the president supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh, a move that contributed to defeat for some fellow democrats up for reelection. political strategists are scratching their heads pondering whether tester is an outlier or the crest of a new blue wave in the western u.s. democrats give tester all the credit. >> the base is more about having a personal relationship with voters where they know you. they like you as a person. >> but unlike other democrats with similar voting records were lost, like heitkamp and mccaskill, tester tapped into something else. >> he had this crosscutting brand as a reformer and a populist or a little guy against the big guy. >> g.o.p. strategist say this victory was only possible in montana. >> it's different from its neighbors like idaho and wyoming that it has this deep vein of democratic unionism in the mi

i listen to matt rosendale. i think cable tends to focus in on the most devisive issues instead of what most people are talking about which is jobs, jobs, jobs and then more jobs and more economic growth and then more jobs. that's what i think. >> well the problem now is that's what the president is talking about. i'm going to have to leave it there. thank you, joe, hugh, and betsy. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. checkout is at 4pm. plenty of time to enjoy your ride.

rosendale? >> joining now to talk more about this is holly cooper. holly, the co-director of the university of california at davis immigration law center joining us in california at this hour. thank you for your time. this is clearly a topic that the u.s. president continues to push on the campaign trail. it is, again, how he opened his campaign when he first announced that he was running for the white house. listen to the latest gross generalization of president trump's view about the migrant caravan. we'll talk about it here in a moment. >> these people were vicious. and they broke through into mexico, throwing rocks and stones. this is the second caravan, which is made up of some very tough young people. very tough. criminals in some cases, in many cases. >> again, so we'll talk about the rocks part in a moment, but this gross generalization that they're all criminals, most of them maybe, the president says, what is your concern here about where this rhetoric could become policy and even acti

as for matt rosendale, montana has now state in play. by the way, he is giving democratic incumbent jon tester the fight of his life. that is a dumb equitable race hafor republicans. why? breaking news in that race tonight. the libertarian candidate has dropped out and endorsed rosendale, tester's opponent. giving a big boost to the g.o.p. montana, you now have a chance to pull off a major political upset because this race is dead even. by the way, indiana, you y may want to follow suit.do don't vote for the libertarian. that only helps the incumbent, chuck schumer democrat by the name of joe donnelly in indiana. inel sixth days you will definitely see one of three results. first is a best case scenario. let's start with the good news. republicans pickh up seats in the senate. they hold onto a small majority in the house. second scenario would be a a split decision. g.o.p. holds onto power in the senate, picks up some seats but loses the house. there she is. nancy pelosi becomes your ncspeaker. the third, well, that's sort of like the do

so matt rosendale is that candidate. he's been running behind in polling. we don't know how things will turn out because of the enthusiasm all around the country. even in this state we've seen enthusiasm from voters here. it is the final push, the president doing so many stops in these last few days. he's trying to get supporters to turn out. he's also acknowledging that republicans could lose the house but he feels better about the senate and that's a key race here. david. >> kelly o'donnell for us had belgrade, montana. she'll be monitoring that rally president trump is expected to speak at. >> joined know by charlie savidge, an msnbc contributor. shawna thomas is the d.c. bury chief at vice news and danny savalis is an msnbc legal and i -- analyst. >> there were problems in polling in 2016. we're trying to read the tea leaves in early voting. what are you watching for? >> i think what i'm watching for with early voting is, one, the amount of states where you're seeing the amount of states that surpass the amount of states that just voted in 2016. you're

republican matt rosendale gaining ground against schumer democratic incumbent jon tester. inat the latest poll, tester don by 3. 50% of the state voted, it will depend on turnout tomorrow. remember, people ofpe montana, tester voted with schumer 87% of the time. you might as well have schumer in tennessee, a very important race. republican candidate marsha blackburn should win. if you are in tennessee, take nothing for granted, anything can happen. nevada, races are always close. republican senator dean heller in a most-hold seat for the republicans. we'll have an actual race in our hands in west virginia. that is news tonight, between incumbent democrat joe manchin, republican patrick morrisey. in florida, let me just be blunt. everything in florida is as usual, too close to call. democratic do nothing schumer democrat bill nelson against the florida governor rick scott who has been there again and again for the people of florida.e in florida, the gubernatorial race also so tight between ron desantisra and corrupt socialist -- by the way -- wouldn't it be great if we coul

no matt rosendale, all trump signs. that is by design. so the trump show, maybe a slight hiatus, but not much of one. it's going to be back in full swing. >> all right. the fall season, can't wait! >> i know we've jumped a lot about it being infrastructure week, but if house democrats win on tuesday, it might actually be infrastructure week. we have seen signs the that senior white house officials are actually making overtures to key democrats, even ahead of the midterms, to try to talk about an infrastructure deal. the legislative affairs director visited a top house democrat who would be overseeing is infrastructure projects a few weeks ago. she carried a message from the president, saying president trump wants to do something really and that he acknowledges that it's going to require real money. so if democrats do take back the house on tuesday, they're going to need some legislative accomplishments next year. so don't sleep on infrastructure week just yet. >> i hope we saved those graphics on infrastructure week. i'll close with this,

jon tester, matt rosendale neck and neck. 95% of vote has come in. however, we haven't called the race because more than a quarter of that vote is still out. look at the advantage that jon tester has. we want to see what happens. we get down to arizona. this is not looking as good as perhaps montana is for democrats. martha mcsally has a lead in arizona right now. a quarter of the vote is out. mail in vote, military vote, what have you. we'll see what happens down there. a lot going on right now in the senate. when we get across to the house this is where things get very interesting. let's see where we are. this is where democrats have done incredibly well so far. right now if you look at it, they have 229 seats. they can add to that total. republicans with 206. where are we right now? who lost? that is kind of an interesting story. what is still out and what we haven't counted? all this blue are democratic pickups of republican seats. i want to show you one race right here. look at this. mia love, a republican, the only african-american woman republ

incumbent democrat jon tester trailing by about 4,000 votes to republican matt rosendale, 84% reporting. key question, what's still outstanding. does jon tester have a pathway? there's four blue counties outstanding with vote. not a ton of vote in the counties. tester, i'm told, still does have a pathway but not a large one. democrats sweating that race a bit. to the south and arizona. jeff flake, retiring republican senator. right now, martha mcsally, member of the house, up by 12,000 votes with 74% reporting. let's see if kyrsten sinema, the democrat, has the opportunity to come back. there's one outstanding county, martha mcsally is leading by 17 points. again, nothing has been called yet. there's still opportunities here. the opportunities look at least at this point to be somewhat limited. to another race. people have been talking about this all night. governor rick scott running for senate as a republican against incumbent bill nelson. 99% reporting, scott up by 38,000. a lot of people have said why don't you call the race -- here's why -- .4% separates the challengers. .5% is the

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 tweet steve kornacki. >> the people are great. it's the election officials in missoula county. i love montana, i drove through it this summer. >> this is what happens. >> election officials only. >> steve, thank you. just a few moments ago, nancy pelosi, she talked to nbc news exclusively on capitol hill. there ha
