31/2%. as the government tries to cool the economy with interest rate increases and jobs reports and higher wages could mean more rate hikes to come from the federal reserve. let me bring in steve moore former economic advisor to president trump and robert wolf, fox news contribute for and former president obama administration economic advisor. gentlemen, great to see you this morning. steve moore, the jobs report was strong enough that the federal reserve will stay course to fight inflation. if you look at what the market is doing this morning, that's why you get the negative reaction. >> yeah, look, on balance it's a positive report. the one thing i think a lot of economists like me and i think probably robert are concerned about was another decline in the labor force participation rate, which means the reason the unemployment rate fell is fewer americans are looking for jobs.
she missed large periods of school and still only manages 31/2 days a week and struggles to take part in normal activities. it is very difficult and frustrating but i can't do the things that i wanted to do and that i did it before, like dancing, football, and theatre shows. for months on end we were in what was called a boom—bust cycle, so she has also been diagnosed with me and chronic fatigue syndrome as a result of long covid so she was, like, going to school for a day and then it would end up being two days in bed, three days in bed, not well enough to walk across the landing because she wasjust doing too much. how are you feeling? i'm a bit tired but i'm ok, thank you. she is seeing a fatigue specialist but her recovery has been slow and frustrating. it isjust heart, soul destroying, we just hope for more
31.2%, but there is a lead there, keeping on tripling, so where is that coming from? well, bucks county. there's a bunch of same-day vote in which doctor mehmet oz is well-positioned. he is in the green here. and we don't know which counties haven't done everything, some due at the end, some do at the beginning, telling those same-day votes, dumping another thousand or so, 813 vote leads for mehmet oz, and triggering an automatic statewide recount, that could take a few days. shannon: talking about what we
david mccormick. mehmet oz with 31.2%. it seems clear that kathy barnette has taken votes from mehmet oz. >> yes. i'm curious to hear from david why it is you think in some of these color counties where we thought mccormick was going to do better, oz seems to be doing better. >> in bucks county. >> i think that his appeal is a little bit mixed. he's be propelled by the trump folks, he's ldalso a television personal. they've been attacking him for being too moderate.
difference. still a nail biter, still anybody's race between mccormick and oz. let's go to the state of idaho where incumbent governor brad little is in a republican primary against his own lieutenant governor. little is at 65.5% of the vote. he is 5,200 votes ahead of janice mcgeachin, the lieutenant governor, with only 65% of the vote in. that's still very, very early. let's go to the headquarters of dr. oz in newtown, pennsylvania, outside of philly. how are oz supporters reacting to this increasingly razor thin close race?
votes. still statistically tied, 31.2 to 31.2 with mccormick. here's what's happening. oz seems to be gaining in some of these counties, suburban philadelphia, bucks county in particular. he is making incremental gains. he switched into the poll position. but really, we're talking a thousand votes here. here is a major x factor to pay attention to, okay. kathy barnette in first place. mccormick second. the key issue to watch here, this is getting into the weeds, but this is what we're doing this time of the hour, it's 7,000 outstanding votes that are going to have to be reprocessed. they are primarily mail-in votes. mccormick could have a real edge in that. that's one more reason why this thing is far from over, and it could be not hours but days because we're well within recount territory. now i want to bring your attention to a democratic race. not a lot of them going on right now, but this house race in oregon is really key. take a look at this house race
so nobody should be breathing easy in either camp. but at least a little bit of big mo heading toward dr. oz. >> 31.2%, 31.2%. as a local anchor and reporter in pennsylvania, charlie, you know, that was one of the first things they told me, it's lancaster, not lancaster. >> lancaster county. and i'm happy to speak pennsylvania dutch to you too don lemon. i know how to do that. >> we've got a long way to go. we just got started. thank you. we're going to take a quick break here but we've got lots more election results to come in tonight including the governor's race in pennsylvania and how it can impact the 2024 election. and madison cawthorn conceding. stay with us.
31.2% to 31.2%. mehmet oz is 714 votes ahead right now. here with me charlie dent, bakari sellers, alice stewart along with cnn's senior political analyst mr. mark preston. so charlie, let's talk about pennsylvania has this important -- we're going to get back to the senate race. they've got this important governor's race as well as democrat and attorney general josh shapiro is going to face off with doug mastriano there. what do you think -- how do you think he's going to shape up against mastriano and shapiro? what do you think that race is -- >> i think that josh shapiro is probably the happiest guy in pennsylvania tonight. >> why is that? >> he got exactly what he wanted. he invaded the republican primary by running ads that were very -- statements about he's the most pro-trump guy in the race and basically building up mastriano for republican voters. and mastriano, many believe, he
the people live, 30% of the people. in montgomery county, oz is running third. in chester county, second. and they're splitting the vote in a lot of places and mccormick who in this race you would call the more mainstream republican, 31.7 to 31.2. down to 5,100 now, excuse me. >> the vote is not over but it does appear if this were to hold, it's possible that barnette is the one who prevented oz from passing dave mccormick because mccormick and oz were in a real dog fight and then barnette had her surge. it's possible she took some of the trump votes away from oz. i'm just hypothesizing here.
it's a mix of those things. getting back to the other issues and you look at these rural counties and john king is saying mccormick's doing better than expected. he's getting 30, 32, 33% of that vote. and kathy barnette is taking some of that trump vote away from the oz counting. >> do you think the fact that mccormick was attacking oz and saying he wasn't conservative enough might -- on issues like apportion, on guns, on -- >> it's not 31.2%. >> one things we haven't talked about tonight about oz is the people and i guess this is mccormick, too, but people don't
