Election, surprise upset win against an nra-backed opponent. i never wanted my election to be about me or about alison or about guns. we wanted to be about issues that are really important to the people of our district here, which is expanding medicaid here in the commonwealth of virginia. it looks like that is very possible now that we have a better balance of power in the commonwealth, about really investing in rural economic development and bringing back jobs to a heavy manufacturing base. >>...

Intelligence and national security reporter. so ken, youll get the first one tonight. what was your take away from all of the sessions testimony including some of the nonanswers? >> well, brian, i was first struck with jeff sessions story seems to have evolved once again whether or not he had any substantive conversations with sergey kislyak. he then changed the story to yes, i did have contacts but we didnt have any substantive discussions about the campaign. today he seemed to open the door. h...
