away and amara, we can see the finish line now. >> yes, we can. it feels like its been a long last several weeks. we are finally here. this is the last weekend of campaigning before tuesdays elections as the candidates and their surrogates make their final push for votes. in the battle for control of the senate it comes down to a handful of key states, including pennsylvania. president biden, barack obama and donald trump all campaigning in the state today. >> the president keeping his...

Made that the closing argument. i notice last night the white house september out an email talking about one of bidens stops today in illinois and they were -- a white house official was emphasizing social security and medicare and bread and butter issues and warning about republican party policy radicalism, not democracy. so i think the big set piece speeches they think its important to talk about, but on a day to day basis they recognize that inflation and the economy are the things they need ...

Mastriano and they say, you know, i cant do that. i think thats a very interesting strategic calculation on their part. in georgia, look, this was the state that gave democrats the senate two years ago. so i would say the biggest remaining question, does it go into a runoff or not. you get a second shot at this if neither candidate hits 50%. so we could all be down in georgia and watching that as, again, the race that decides the election. worth noting senator schumer in the hot mic moment recen...

Make their voices known. but this today is all about riling up the base. this is about the two biggest stars, the three biggest stars in their representative parties talking to their base, turning out the base, and then that tiny sliver of independent swing voters that exists here in pennsylvania in a big way, thats whats up for grabs, thats likely what will determine the outcome of this very, very critical senate race. guys. >> and what could determine control of the u.s. senate as well. jessic...

Believe members of congress knew what was going to happen, some members knew. i certainly believe some members instigated this. >> joining us now cnn senior political analyst ryan and co-author of the political playbook and author of madam speaker, nancy pelosi and the lessons of power. ryan, there is a caveat. he hedges a little bit. he said its not based on anything he sees in the committee yet. but he does say he certainly believes republican members of congress may have instigated the insurr...

Than elon musk did in federal income taxes. . >> im not sure, susan, that either of them particularly minds this battle. >> yeah, thats right. elon musk loves publicity. we know that. this is a point elizabeth warren has been making throughout her public life about her desire to tax rich people more and tax middle income and lower income people. so i think this is maybe a case where both are happy to have the other attacking them. . >> yes, idea. susan, thank you so much. ryan, good to see you a...

Justice kennedy. i think well be calling him this one justice. >> renato, kennedys replacement further to the right, right? >> no question. all of the picks on trumps list are very much to the right of the middle of the court now. those picks were very carefully vetted by the federal society which is the sort of conservative legal group. that is what led many conservatoriv conservators to support donald trump. this is one issue that conservators care a lot about and he is committed to choosing s...

Many swing votes at the end of the day. the issue where he was the swing vote, where theres still a chance of the supreme court changing is on abortion. this entire fight is going to be over that issue. >> all right. we shall see. stay tuned. always something every single day i appreciate it. thank you gloria, ryan, kevin and renato. more on justice kennedys retirement with president trump now in the position to pick his second supreme court justice. what will happen if the court has to rule o...

From the bench. thats -- thats a lot to rely on, hes a very conservative jurist. >> all right, ryan, is the court becoming as polarized of a country? >> i think in some ways. i think if you read the immigration decision, what struck me about that decision was that the five justices and the majority basically explained away, or ignored all of donald trumps statements about anti-muslim bias and said, if you just read the order, it survives constitutional scrutiny. whereas the four liberals on the ...

I agree with the analysis a moment ago. he is much further to the right -- >> before i move on, ryan, what can we expect? i read off some thing in the open there. everyone is talking about marriage equality, is roe v. wade gone? whats in play? >> whose that for? >> renato. >> i think its gone. i would be very surprised. i think theres no question -- no real question that justice a lee -- the question now is -- and gorsuch will be in the same -- the question is lot chief justice, im sure the new ...
