Warnock, senator warnock was reelected earlier this week the balance of power right now is 51 democrats -- or 51 votes for the democratic party, that includes two independents, angus king and bernie sanders. thats 51/49. what youre doing today doesnt change that? its still basically going to be 51/49? >> i know you have to ask that question, jake, but thats kind of a d.c. thing to worry about. what im really focused on is just making sure that im doing what i think comports with my values and th...

Democratic majority. and at this point it will stay 51/49 in the balance of power. were putting now three independents with democrats. and the other two, bernie sanders and angus king in caucus with democrats, sinema has not said whether she will do that or not, but because she is keeping her democratic committee assignments, that means that the democrats get to hold a lot of this power and the benefits that they get from having a majority. it means that they will be able to wield that greater s...

But the work that stacey abrams did in 2021, a jung jewish millennial, jon ossoff and a black pastor, two from georgia, one a pastor from ebenezer baptist church that was elected tonight. >> 51/49, explain to us what this means, why its so different, kyrsten sinema, a lot less powerful than she was the other night, but beyond that. >> yeah, the committees, the committees with the 50/50 split are split 50/50, depending on whatever the numbers are. that means democrats will have the majority in th...

What it tells me is theyre waiting for donald trump to die. if theres a republican with brass in the country tonight, youll hear them on the morning shows tomorrow. >> reed, weigh in here, fox news laura ingraham saying im pissed. she didnt say she was pissed at donald trump who brought us herschel walker courtesy of "silent apprentice" she said shes mad at the establishment gop. the establishment gop has been biting their tongue quietly hating trump for years but never had the guts to say it. >...

Even 51/49, makes all the difference in the world because democrats actually control the senate, it also changes the travel schedule potentially of vice president kamala harris. shes been often having to stay in washington, shuttling back and forth to the hill to be a tie breaking vote. if democrats win the seat today, if senator warnock wins, that means she does not have to be the tiebreaker so often. it really does matter. but that is also why republicans are turning out today because theyre t...

Lets pivot to john berman. okay, heres the deal. democrats we know will control the senate whether its 50/50 because theyll have the tie breaker with kamala harris or 51-49 so explain why that one extra seat matters so much. >> it absolutely matters. this is where we are as we sit here at 1:00 in the afternoon. you can see democrats at 50 seat, republicans 49. if republicans win this, itll be 50/50 but democrats, this is what they want. they want 51/49. why? because of a few things here. as you ...

Heres his take on walkers chances on election day. watch. >> part of the key has been getting across to republicans that the difference in the senate between a 50/50 power share if walker wins and a 51/49 democratic majority if warnock wins that difference is a lot. traditionally republicans dont vote until election day but i think theyre learning the lesson to get out and vote earlier. there have been long lines in both republican areas and democratic areas. i suspect if the election ended toda...

And raphael warnock has the momentum going into this. 51/49 for democrats is a huge advantage, and we know that. i think people know that. but you dont want to go into somebodys household saying, please give me 51 votes for committee assignments. i think geoff duncan and i would both agree things like inflation, immigration, crime, et cetera are the number one issues. it aint give me the number of votes i need so i can get this flush assignment on this. >> i think we just made cnn history where ...

Up her book tour and we have barack obama coming on thursday, december 1, michelle will be here on the second and third and i wouldnt be surprised to see barack obama show up at a book tour and encourage more people to come out and vote. im watching her, it is interesting they are not talking about her being in georgia, particularly in atlanta for two days prior to thisun areoff election, it feels like they are keeping her under radar, not speculating, but something is upon haing there. >> todd:...
