I did this before. some simple math that will show you what difference these 22,000 votes could make. 22,000 up here. now, catherine cortez masto in clark county, which has been leaning democratic in the vote, which is more democratic than most of the votes there, she has been winning about 60% of the vote there. so 60% of 22,000 is 13,200. 13,200. 40%, which is what adam laxalt would win is 8,800 there. the difference -- and this is what is most important -- is 4,400. so if catherine cortez mas...

Winners, nevada where rosa is and was just talking about, and also georgia. georgia will have a run-off on december 6th. if either one of these states, if the democrat wins in either one of these states, they would get to 50. theyre 49/49 now. if either of these states go blue the democrats would have 50 votes in the senate. vice president kamala harris would break the tie and they would maintain their majority. lets talk about nevada and lets talk about where we are and what were expecting, may...

I think a lot of people felt that its going to be much harder now that democrats will control the senate to get republicans in georgia fired up. but we had a guest last night, because i now live here at msnbc headquarters, and then he said, i think this is right, theres still people who nationally do not want raphael warnock to win on principle. right? and as much as they care about control of the u.s. senate, about the math in the u.s. senate, for them, its also about stopping someone with some...

Information to come out of arizona? >> reporter: it is really hard to tell at this point it is math. it is science. i was exceptionally poor at those subjects in school. >> me, too. >> reporter: we have very smart statisticians trying to figure out if it will be enough. but what we can tell you is the lake campaign sees these remaining ballot, the mail-in ballots dropped off on election day, that this is their path. so if this is not and the math doesnt work in their favor tonight that path beco...

>> waiting to challenge him, took him down once already in 2015, a wing hes courted to try to avoid this exact moment, but it all comes down to the math. if is it is a very slim majority, it will be hard for mccarthy to become speaker and it depends on his willingness to wheel and deal with these members. the demands would weaken his speakership, thats why he hasnt given in. over the next few weeks between now and january and the floor vote, it is going to be a mad scramble behind the scenes for...

That is the question here. because the only way that kari lake is getting back into this race as of these latest batches to skew more to the right. but even, then with the last two nights results not coming out in favor or their expectations, nbcs next batches are going to have to be that much more favorable to them. the math of getting very difficult for kari lake, we should also note. if this race does get within half a percentage point, it will go to an automatic recount that would not start ...

Little bit of a sugar rush. like when you eat a candy bar and you feel good for a little while because you got it out of your system. these $10,000 infusions could make anybody feel a little bit better. it brings you up in the new crash real fast. i talk to a lot of people that are very wealthy ceos and have inherited money and a lot of them are not that happy, as a matter of fact. youre talking about apples and oranges. i think anyone could benefit from a check but a reason why money overall do...

Leadership. the mandate for republicans is, throw out everything youve been doing the last five years. and rid yourself of the crazy in your party. now, thats a much more difficult task for the republicans to do than it is for the democrats to keep doing what theyre doing and keep electing competent people. >> with that, i want to ask you about the stakes out of georgia. because you made a point earlier today on twitter that i thought was very salient. which was, there is what it means for this ...

Balances between the two offices, party representatives are here. we have commercial representatives here monitoring the process. so, no, were not finding any votes. were going through the process of counting the votes. >> i take it everything has gone smoothly; is that correct? >> yes. everythings gone very well, yes. >> thats encouraging to hear. we will stay in touch with you. thank you very, very much. all right, john. lets take a look at these new numbers. >> let me slide this down a little...

15,000 votes, a little shy of that, 69%. hes doing better than what he needs to do to keep his lead. blake masters, 31%, thats less than he had. so this particular batch, that doesnt guarantee it continues or he wont do well in the next one, but still a lot of votes to count as she just told us. every batch that comes in meaning the universe of possibility shrinks and this is not enough for blake masters. its simply not enough. hes going to wrong direction in that particular batch. >> these new ...
