we're live in the sunshine state as ron desantis faces off against andrew gillum, fight to go become the state's first african-american governor. >>> plus, another big issue this midterm is immigration, how the president's tough agenda could affect votes in states along the border. >>> they're the future of our country, a discussion on the power of millennials as a record number are now potentially voting and running for office. ♪ whether it's a big thing, small thing, or something unexpected, pnc will be right there when you need us. because when it comes to your finances, if you focus on today, tomorrow has a way of working itself out. replace one meal or snack a day with glucerna... made with carbsteady to help manage blood sugar... ...and end the day with a smile. glucerna®. everyday progress. >>> welcome back. right now, president trump is on his way to florida where he will hold a rally tonight in pensacola for republican senate candidate rick scott and gubernatorial candidate ron desantis. both are in close races, desantis making a stop in tampa today. he said he hopes trum

. >> the evidence is that rick scott and ron desantis won. in fact andrew gillum conceded on the night of the election. >> they're under the threshold for an automatic recount. >> maybe now they are. there's been no recount that has ever turned around a total as large as we have now in either of those races. the agriculture race is enclo encloser. even mark elias has said that margins like this can't be overcome. he also made a very peculiar comment saying we're going to win this. that's not what people should be worried about here. people should be worried about a fair process. >> any evidence this is being stolen? one piece of evidence? >> we have boxes of votes appearing out of nowhere. we have brenda snipes who has been sued successfully by a primary opponent for shenanigans that happened there years ago. she probably shouldn't be in that position. >> she was appointed by a republican governor. >> new republican governor ron desantis will do something about that. she's somebody who had past practices that have come under criticism by demo

a great gentleman, ron desantis. [applause] patriot, andran, a he will continue the incredible job, job. look at what is happening to this state. look at what is going on in the great state of florida. he will continue what governor scott began. florida's economy is want of the anywhere in the world. ron desantis is going to keep it that way. [applause] ron will keep your taxes going way down. he will always support our veterans. ron,, on up. [applause] [applause] >> is southwest florida trump country or what? [applause] say if a candidate is running for governor, i am the only one who has worn the uniform and served in our military. [applause] i am the only candidate who isn't going to raise your taxes here in florida. [applause] guy who cany credibly say i am not under investigation for corruption by the fbi. [applause] as governor, i will protect our good economy and that means we cannot raise taxes. we need to continue to recruit businesses here and i believe florida can boom like never before. [applause] andrew

ron desantis is going to get more votes here. 25% still to come in. however, andrew gillum saying i'll see your county with miami-dade county and, again, 75% here. he's running ahead, 60%-40% pretty much like the governors race -- i mean the senate race. see more votes here. more votes here. so it's nail biting time in florida. as the overall percentage is up to 90%. pretty quick count for most of florida tonight. we've gone a lot later to try to get that high in florida. you're looking at the map, two republicans are leading. there's available math for the democrats. which is why we count them. >> yeah. big picture in the house of representatives, right now, how many democrats are leading in republican districts? they need 22 and right now, there it is, you see 16 democrats are leading in republican districts in races that are still too early to call. three republicans are leading in democratic-held districts. >> we'll see if that holds. again, surprises in midterm years, that would be a surprise. this one here, i haven't checked this district. let's

judge jeanine: we just had governor-elect ron desantis on. and he talked about some of the problems florida had in the so-called recount that wasn't necessary because he won again and gillum conceded again. what's your take on what's going on in florida? >> it was like a clown show. i don't know how else to describe it. i didn't have any idea way was watching. the one judge who was determining if this recount was going forward. he said this is an embarrassment. every election this happens. we have to get it right. brenda snipes has to go. broward needs to get it together. but desantis won. he was always going to win because his policies appealed to floridians. the right conclusions finally took place and was rightfully acknowledged. it was a repoet of what happened over so many years. i want to move on, and i would like to talk about the caravan. there is a statement here that we have from a caravan member that it want you to react to. where the caravan member i believe his name is henry salinas. he says it will be all against one, one agains

ron desantis' district is here. andrew gillum, the mayor of tallahassee, you're trying to win not only on a bigger stage but this is a giant stage, the state of florida, it's diverse, highly competitive. the democrats at the moment doing what they need to do. i just want to add the footnote, a lot of republican votes up here and in the middle we still haven't counted. >> let's go to ohio. the democratic candidate is ahead. >> before i zoom in on the state, we don't talk enough about the governor's races because there is such drama in the house of representatives. still such a competitive battlefield, who will take the senate tonight, democrats are very optimistic, not only in the florida governor's race, maybe in the georgia governor's race but they think right here, states that were trump country, they think they have a good chance in the governor's races, not just in ohio but moving on. but let's take a look. richard cordray served -- carryover from the obama administration, ran the consumer financial agency, was

candidate ron desantis. we extended an invitation to andrew gillum to join the program we did not hear back from his people. thank you so much for joining us good to see you. >> good morning. maria: well i guess first give me the state of affairs. i know florida has long been unpredictable but it has appeared to be a red state for a long time now, certainly small government, low taxes, no income tax for individuals and yet you're trailing gillum who is a self-stated progressive who wants to raise taxes. what happened to florida? >> we're not trailing in actual people who have voted maria. we have more than half the vote has been cast. if you look at the early absentee votes republicans are leading for the first time ever at this stage. donald trump has down 17 5,000 republican votes going into election day in 2016. he won by about 17 5,000. we are going to be going into election day as republicans to the first time in recent florida history up going into election day and a lot of our voters will not voterly.

senate and ron desantis in the governor's office. leaderott is a proven who has seen florida for hurricanes and storms, and in the statehouse he has created jobs.han 1.6 million antis is one of our strongest supporters in congress. as your next governor, ron desantis will keep florida jobs, better good schools, clean water and safer communities. willscott and ron desantis stand with the president and put florida first, more than you can say about either one of their opponents. in thish is, the choice election could not be more clear. it's a choice between tax hikes and tax cuts. it's a choice between more government and more freedom. it's a choice between resistance and results, and president trump and i need florida to vote for more results from the statehouse to washington dc. roneed florida to elect as your next governor and send rick scott to the u.s. senate. we have got three days to do it, and a lot of work yet to do. we keep hearing about this blue wave headed our way. [crowd boos] from what we are seeing, president trump and

ron desantis once the job. >> andrew gillam got a lot of momentum out of the primary but ron desantis is closing strongly looking at the governor incinerating over the past decade your average contested statewide race was decided by 1%. that is how close it will be. all about turnout. rob: florida will be exciting to watch, we will move to the house for big races. let's go to the mid south and the state of kentucky. a very tight race. the democrat is a female fighter pilot like martha mccalley accept the party. >> it is interesting because she tried the best she can to distance herself, everybody is saying donald trump has been focusing on the senate race but he has campaigned for andy barr, he is conservative and fits the values of the district. >> let's like to the northeast, a couple races are interesting, we start with new york 19 which is close to massachusetts, connecticut, eastern new york and this went obama 2012 and trump 2016. >> obama won in 2008 and 2012 and donald from won in the last election, central new york district, he has been around a long time. real fiscal conserv

he conceded the race to republican ron desantis, his challenger. desantis, essentially a president trump pick, he's been all in on trump and the trump agenda, voters basically said when they were voting in this election, they were voting to either support or reject president trump's policies. well, it turns out by a razor thin margin they sided with the president. they sided with the republican ron desantis, and i can tell you here at andrew gillum headquarters, the crowd was surprised. hundreds of people were waiting for him to come out. perhaps give a victory speech. at the point when he came out on the stage, abc news was not projecting a winner because the race was too close to call but andrew gillum came out and said that he conceded the race, called desantis and congratulated him on a hard fought victory. >> i still believe that there is more of us who believe in what is common and decent and right, and i believe in the long run good always wins out over evil. >> reporter: talking about the senate now, that race again still too close to call,

in the florida governor's race, republican congressman ron desantis defeated tallahassee mayor andrew gillum, a democrat. [applause] >> alright. quite a treat is to see that y'all are still here. of chris and kristen, we are rj, our family, proud of the way that we ran this race. we could not be more thankful for the support that was shown by each and every one of you all the way along this path. we recognize that we did not win it tonight. we did not win this transaction, but i want y'all to know that is just it, a transaction. what we believe in still holds true today. i got to tell you, as i stand here on the highest of seven hills in tallahassee, florida, the campus that gave so much to me and my wife rj. for the students around when we were students, we marched plenty of times from this very step up to the capital. we let our voices be heard. we didn't shrink from the challenges, we didn't shrink from power. we spoke truth to power. just because we didn't always come out victorious, we didn't retreat. we stood up. we stood strong. we spoke out because we recognized we had power,

morning, the president tweeting that the florida election should be called in favor of rick scott and ron desantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere and many ballots are missing or forged. and an honest count no longer

right now, ron desantis leads gillam by 38,598 on the board there, it keeps tightening. right now less than half a percentage point which triggers a machine recount. remember, gillum conceded on election night but here we go.

the florida election should be called in favor of rick scott and ron desantis. the number of new balance coming from nowhere and many ballots are missing or forged. statement from the secretary of state reads, our staff has not seen any evidence of criminal activity in broward county at this time. in the recount governor race, ron desantis leads tallahassee mayor andrew gillum by 33,000 votes. normal as people have called for a broward supervisor of election, brenda snipes, to be suspended by the governor. she's been plagued for years for things like illegally destroying ballots and the counting too soon. this affidavit says she saw other workers fell in md bubbles in races that have been left blank >> 65 out of 67 counties that have accomplished their job under the law. there is not a problem with the law, there's a problem with the competence and the equipment. >> also today, because for governor scott to completely recuse himself from this recount process because the outcome directly impacts him. and you tonight, reports that about 150 panhandle residents, hu

there's a lot of folks excited to see ron desantis. alan, what is motivating you to be here on a sunday morning? >> my rights to vote, my second amendment rights. doing what's right for the country and the state of florida. >> do you think president trump coming here is helping republican candidates get across the finish line? >> without a doubt. without a doubt. we hired him back in 2016 to do a job. he's doing his job. >> reporter: you feel that -- we were talking earlier. you feel trump is not responsible for dividing the country as democrats would say. you feel he's done good things. >> he's uncovered the divisiveness of this country. he didn't do this himself. it was there. we lived through eight years of the obama administration. we didn't riot, we didn't burn any cars, we didn't turn over any place cars. we didn't kill anyone. we lived through it. they'll live through it. >> now this race in particular, the governor's race is a very, very thin margin. neck in neck. you feel confident that ron desantis will be victorious. >> a li

i think ron desantis will win when it comes down to the wire. judge jeanine: you mentioned about turning florida into venezuela. a lot of people there retiring, there are a lot of senior communities. people don't like the idea of the concept of socialism and taking care of everybody. to them, they worked their whole lives. now they want to retire and not have to pay for everyone else. where this guy gillum is coming out and saying the police are the enemy, the police are plantation owners putting african-americans in cages. >> that's correct. he's an extreme leftist. he's getting desperate. that's why he's pulling the race card. he's failing ideologically to connect with the voters in florida so he's trying to scare them and make them emotional and use fear-based tactics. i don't think it's going to work. i have no doubt that scott and desantis will pull away in this race. judge jeanine: do you want to hear a special announcement? hear a special announcement? judge jeanine: finally tonight, exciting new news. we announced our premium option serv

trying to boost the votes for rick scott and ron desantis. steve: he said they would do a great job. also, congressman francis rooney, who is running for re-election. he kind of struck the tone when he said we need to help the president by getting your vote out in southwest florida. we need to run up the score like we did in 2016. the message that we heard last night was it's 2016, all over again. ainsley: people are motivated. they are excited to go to the polls and vote and have their voices be heard. brian: the mayor of tallahassee under additional investigation. and now we understanding this, when he talks about medicare for all and raising property taxes. it shouldn't be hard for ron desantis to put a stark line between the two different looks of what florida will be like for the next four years. meanwhile, the president of the united states also is concerned as many of you are about a not only this caravan with about 7,000 people but others are forming saying this is a great idea. there is at least two more ready to come out of honduras

desantis. both are in close races, desantis making a stop in tampa today. he said he hopes trump helps him get tens of thousands of extra votes. his opponent democrat, andrew gillum packed a crowd earlier in orlando today. he got some presidential help of his own, as you know, former president obama campaigned for him friday. and recent polls show gillum and desantis, well, you see it, a difference of 1 percentage point, well within the margin of error. ally batali has been talking to early voters in the sunshine state. she's in lakeland, florida, the energy i'm guessing you're seeing is only increasing. >> reporter: yeah, certainly, when we were at a voting place this morning in polk county, there were many people going in and out. there was a few minute wait for folks to get to the ballot box. on a saturday morning, i think the people hoping for higher turnout, this is what you want

the governor's race between democrat andrew gillum and republican ron desantis, very bitterly flot fought at the highest levels. president trump campaigning for desantis, former president obama for gillum. tonight, though, mr. obama made a surprise stop in northern virginia bearing donuts and stumping for senator tim kaine and jennifer wexton. today was national donut day. nobody got me donuts. or anybody on this panel got donuts. ana cabrera. she is in tallahassee. what is gillum's message to voters now the night before the election? >> reporter: hi, anderson. the main message tonight is go vote. and you can hear this crowd is fired up. they are calling this the bring it home midnight rally. we are at florida a&m university, a fitting venue given andrew gillum was a graduate of florida a&m. and he has a star-studded line-up trying to turn out the vote for him tonight. the headliner at this event is

all that over ron desantis. good to see you. >> good to be with you today. >> okay, why? >> so listen, i normally don't talk about who i voted for but in this race, i did and, you know, it's important to talk about why because this is such a pivotal race. there are areas in which i find agreement with andrew gillum, at least closer to agreement than ron desantis. areas like medicaid access or health care access for underprivileged or lower income communities or gun control, having the responsibility to talk about gun control measures in a state where we saw parkland, just last night, we saw another six or seven injured in tallahassee. but it also clearly as a former republican is a rejection of trump, trumpism and trump surrogates. understanding in the state of florida, ron desantis put his toddler child in a commercial while instructing to build him a wall and read from donald trump books to his infant child. said i'll accept all things trump, the divisiveness and rhetoric because i get these ideological wins and i say to my gop colleagues, civility and empathy and hope

of course, ron desantis, navy jag officer, supporter of the trump agenda. the florida economy isis literally hanging in the balance. andrew gillum exposed as someone willing to say and do anything. you notice the one thing consistent about all of these tapes, they have to lie to trick you into voting for them. and being somebody they are not. and you just saw it with your own eyes. and gillum, no different from any democrat up for election. we have seen tape after tape, week after week, of undercover videos from project veritas and you see this widespread deception in all these democratic campaigns. you have got kyrsten sinema out in arizona. she thinks that's the meth lab of democracy and no problem if americans join the taliban. then have you claire mccaskill, she is caught on tape being a phoney. one thing in public and one thing in private. phil bredesen, he thinks the people of tennessee are ignorant. heidi heitkamp. they are all lying to you. watch the tape. >> election year. she is being careful about people off. and she said after the election, if a

in the florida governor's race, republican ron desantis be democrat andrew gillum after a machine recount. president trump campaign for both republicans, watch. >> i'm appreciative of the president, we got a lot of good things done the last two years together. i am just excited -- i've learned a lot as governor, i think a lot of his orders, he was able to activate and bring them out. i think he played a very important role in this. throughout the country, these races where he was campaigning, missouri, north dakota, all those candidates. >> harris: peter doocy's live in tallahassee with the latest. peter? >> harris, on her way out of the office yesterday somebody asked brenda snipes if she was worried she'd be removed by the incoming republican governor and she said she hadn't heard anything about that but just a few hours later, the leader of this broward county office that misplaced more than 2,000 ballots over the weekend resigned in a letter to governor scott where she wrote this in part. "although i have enjoyed this work tremendously over many election cycles, i am ready to pass the

you look at a race between andrew gillum, ron derant-- ron desantis and you see gillum exciting people in a different way, you see who are engaged with him not just on policy but also in the way that he actually, you know, i guess conveys his message. when you look at that race as a republican in miami, what do you make of it? >> look, i-- you know, for me, i'm a centrist. i'm a mod raise republican, i'm a centrist. so when i look at that race, on the one hand i have ron desantis who is increasingly, other forget increasingly, he's not an option. and on the other hand, i have got andrew gillum who is a progressive democrat who is much further to the left than i am on policy issues. i had not met him before. i met him a couple of days ago, and i got to tell you something. part of the reason is that guy is awakening something is he is likable. i have forgotten what it was like to have a likable person running in floor dasm and i hope florida voters reject a campaign of fearmongerring and scare tactics. we can't fall for that again. (cheers and applause). >> trevor: thank you so much for

but at the end of the day when everything is said and done, we are going to have governor ron desantis and we are extremely happy about that. that race should be certified later on next week. and although we still have the manual hand recount going on right now in the u.s. senate race, there's not enough votes to overturn that . so we will have rick scott be the next u.s. senator from the great state of florida. lou: i love the language that grows up around these if you will, controversial election results. everyone talking about now, in florida the case between nelson and scott. that he is now outside the margin of fraud. how confident are you on a scale of 1 to 10 that that is indeed, out of the margin of fraud and that rick scott will be the center?>> i think the margin of incompetence in bridal county and palm beach county is just astounding.-- i think we have a lot of fixing to do the counties when election is over. supervisor snipes and broward county, supervisor booker in beach county, clearly had to go. and you know, i know people are calling off republicans to sort of like get

serÁ el nuevo gobernador de la florida ron desantis. >> muy buenas noches, chicos. aquÍ la fiesta ya terminÓ.cabe destacar que durÓ muy poco tiempo. los resultados se demoraron muchÍsimo llegar. fue una contienda sumamente reÑida. mucho de las personas se sorprendieron cuando fue declarado ganador. sin lugar a dudas dijeron que era un contrincante con muchÍsimo carisma. ahora, hace un rato se dirigiÓ sus simpatizantes y les agradeciÓ por su apoyo. tambiÉn elogiÓ la campaÑa. y pidió a todos aquellos que no habÍan votado por Él, que se uniera a su proyecto de gobierno. asÍ que en el estado de la florida continÚa republicana. lo que sÍ,histÓrico. se eligió la primera vicegobernador espaÑa. jorge: la fiesta se acabÓ ahÍ atrÁs, claramente. no hay fiesta. ilia: una pregunta para un par de minutos que tenemos. hay un mejorpanorama para los republicanos?-- para los demÓcratas, perdón. >> por lo pronto, lo que se va a poder hacer, por lo menos, es poder no crear una contraria a la parte de trump, pero por lo menos demostrar que hay una vÍa diferente

it is because i have served with ron desantis. i don't imagine congressman jolly and major gillum agree on a lot. but maybe they, just like all of us, agree there is some things bigger than politics. and that's on the ballot right now. what kind of politics do we want? >> congressman, that's pretty harsh, that you voted for andrew gillum because you served with ron desantis. please explain. >> sure. i wish i could see the look on their faces because that was quite a moment. i did vote for andrew gillum and my initial comment was because i had served with ron desantis and i don't think he accepts the responsibility of governing. he is looking to advance merely an ideology. but, joy, barack obama's words challenged me a little bit in saying they don't agree on much. it forced me to reflect on areas where we might agree. and the reality is i realized i am closer to andrew gillum on issues of gun control and health care access to all than today's republican party. obama's comments at the end also matter. there are things bigger than p

for governor, andrew gillum and ron desantis are virtually dead even. and we are going to be getting reports from the panhandle where the vote in 2016 favored donald

reject socialism and elect ron desantis and rick scott. jillian: he will join us at 715 eastern so stay tuned for that. rob: more than half of democrats on the ballot next tuesday are embracing a medicare for all message. >> i want to ask those people how the hell does it happen we spend twice as much for capital on healthcare as the people of any other nation? rob: a new study by george mason university says bernie's plan, medicare for all would cost, would be a cost of tens of trillions of dollars, nan haworth's doctrine former congresswoman who joins me to talk about this, something like $32 trillion is what this program would cost over a certain amount of years. let me ask you is that more or less then we are spending on healthcare right now? >> reporter: we are spending with we should on healthcare, not getting full value for money and $32 trillion, george mason, good place with the already projected tens of trillions of debt, based on medicare program they have now. and the driver of debt and projected debt. >> you think healthcare g

ron desantis talking a little about puerto rico. and trump comes down like a hammer on these folks if they create any daylight or make him look certainly like he doesn't know what he's talking about. >> all right. >> don't let the facts get in the way of a good political argument. >> if that's the state we're in, my goodness. thank you everyone very, very much. >>> up next, a republican congressman fighting to keep his job. does he think the hard line rhetoric from the president is helping rev up his party five days from the midterms. >>> also, search crews find the flight data recorder in that crash. and that brings investigators one step closer to finding out how 189 people died. >>> the man charged with shooting and killing 11 people at a pittsburgh synagogue appears in court minutes from now. we will be live in pittsburgh. your insurance rates skyrocket after a scratch so small you could fix it with a pen. how about using that pen to sign up for new insurance instead? for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't r

ron desantis ran a incredible race. we saw the early vote, i talked about it on this network last couple days, when early vote closed in 2016 we were 100,000 vote down going into election day. we won by 125,000. yesterday, ron desantis only ran in 20,000 down. that margin is what he won by. he ran incredible race. susan wiles ran the campaign did a amazing job. i can't speak highly enough about rick scott and ron desantis. by the way the president of the states made the difference in this race. no question. ainsley: how much is because of the president? his name wasn't on the ballot but he campaigned, he was out there. he did three different campaign rallies the last day. over six days, 11 rallies. he was out there pushing for some of these senators? >> listen. let me put this out there. there are a lot of even moderate right-leaning outlets trying to claim the trump effect wasn't real. you need to get out of your bubble or away from the typewriter, you're not on the ground. where trump showed up, actively put his name

but ron desantis you can't let ron desantis let -- you can't let him be the governor of florida, that would be a disaster. ron desantis, harvard and yale, a good guy. hard worker and i think he will be a great governor but it's a very close race. >> sean: you want to make a closing argument. you know it's interesting, i watch the media and they are trying to define this as a trump midterm. >> president trump: unless we win, then they will go away. >> sean: then they go back to russia. it was funny. bill clinton lost about 54 seats in the house. obama lost 60 some seats in the house. i love how nate silver we said they could be anywhere between 15 and 16. could -- i don't have to do any poles to find that out. it's the american people that decided it's getting out in midterms -- there is something going on. >> i lead ohio, thousands and thousands of people cannot get into this massive arena. i just left indiana. thousands and thousands of people outside can't get -- there's something going on. there is an electricity that feels like 2016. >> sean: mr. president, i on the way here it wa

pete: republican candidate ron desantis tight race for governor. he spoke exclusively with griff jenkins. griff, good morning. >> good morning, guys. you know, the president made his second visit to florida here at the pensacola airport here yesterday. it drew more than 3,000 people. it was packed. he brought out all the stars. not only desantis but governor scott as well as vice president pence. evanger hollywood and florida state university legendary bobby bowden. what was on display closely watched governor's race tallahassee mayor andrew gillum and ron desantis. the direction parties are going. gillum progressive medicare for all. desantis on board with the trump agenda. now, you've got gillum leading by over 2.5%. that's certainly a narrow lead in a state where anything can happen. we caught one ron desantis and asked him about that narrow lead as well as what he wants to do when it comes to the top issue. voter told me last night, immigration. take a listen. >> i feel very good about the turnout. the polling depends on how you view the turnou
