Segment here is my colleague bret baier ♪ ♪ >> bret: thanks, mike. as mentioned could impact close races in midterm election. in tonights midterm focus partisan fights over new district maps make the balance of power in congress really hard to predict. most states have a deadline to submit new congressional maps by the end of the year. but some may be forced to change their final maps as court battles play out. lets start there with our panel amy walter publisher and editor of chief of the c...

For the party holding the white house. republicans only need five seats to pick up the house. there are only four midterm elections, michael, since the civil war in which the party out of the white house hasnt won at least five seats. so if republicans have a good day next november, which is more likely than not, you got to think thats going to encourage donald trump to run on the theory that biden is wounded and its a pretty straight path to the white house. itll make it tougher for any other r...

Jimmy carter my negative 13 is where it stands. the average president the last four 40 years plus five. so the economy as an average president, go ahead and save christmas. it will not help you save the house on the midterm. >> jesse: you are not allowed to save christmas unless everybody, the dog, the cap boosted. speed to get it right, joe. you did not save christmas, jesse watters saved christmas. >> kayleigh: and the world. >> sean: and the world too appeared to defund the democrats learned ...

Comfortable re-election. so i dont think theres going to be -- yes, there will be a clamor to get rid of biden after the midterm, but the doesnt mean they will feel that way six months after the midterm. >> i totally get it. i just have to say, and i hope im not being indelicate that that analysis doesnt factor in the age issue. and its an issue. quick final question, because you were invited here under false pre-tenses. we were supposed to discuss whether joe manchin ever becomes a republican a...

You cant tell me what the republican party is. responsibility? not really. national defense? not necessarily, what is it about? you look at virginia and new jersey, democrats did win in new jersey. they would have liked to win in virginia and the party that won the white house with one exceptio and terry mcauliffe in 2013. it was not great for democrats but it was not some sort of out of left field unmitigated disaster for democrats. its so early and so much is going to happen between now and th...

Likely than not, you got to think thats going to encourage donald trump to run on the theory that biden is wounded and its a pretty straight path to the white house. itll make it tougher for any other republican to challenge him for the nomination. but the history of the midterm predicting the next general election is actually quite mixed. there are occasions like 1946 or 66 or 74 where a bad midterm foreshadowed a loss for the presidents party in holding and white house in the next election. bu...

Jersey, what we saw last year in 2020 is voters were willing to vote for republicans and they just did not vote unanimously which is donald trump, right? the republican party is in good shape arguably at this moment depending on who it puts up in canada whether its congress or midterm elections or 2024. president trump is still -- is he able to overcome that? his strategy is to tear down biden. there are a lot of avenue attacks right now. it does not necessarily mean it will mobilize for trump. ...

I think they may end up in something like this, some could pass with 60 votes. some might end up in reconciliation anyway. it might end up as a better bill, slimmer bill, more focused on the key things that have to happen soon than would have been the case if this went through with 50 votes. >> so eugene, bill has the view get what you can get done. you have a view from your column that democrats need to talk more about the things they succeeded. you wrote democrats across the spectrum have to s...

Term, bidens position could look a lot better in six months after the midterm than it does on the midterm day. thats really what happened to reagan and clinton and obama. they came in at a moment of economic turbulence, things didnt turn around fast enough in the eyes of the voters, and then the second half of their term the economy started to improve. some of the policies they passed initially, the effect was felt more widely and they solidified their position and all of them won re-election pr...

Put it at just 41%, which is a new low from that survey. jenna me now is larry elder post of larry elder show and former california gubernatorial candidates. larry, it is bad, but how bad is it? >> jesse, it is real bad. particularly when you start looking at the hispanic vote. since the midterm election of 2018, there is been a 40-point shift among hispanic voters in favor of republicans. now among hispanic voters, generic house republican will beat a generic house democrat. this is earth-shatt...
