Tryst Democrat News Today

Health concerns. joining us is the democrat candidate in mississippi. thank you so much for being with us. overtime, how does that feel? >> good morning. good morning, john. overtime, well, we all knew that this would be a two-step process. now we moved now, if you will, to the second quarter past our halftime. we are crunching the numbers and we really like what we see. we brought the incumbent senator to a virtual tie. i think that favors us. we have seen that 60% last night, 60% of the voters...

Gillum situation, to be honest with you. we have our own race. i have kept my head down. i have not looked at perhaps why they came short. but we think we fought the incumbent senator to a tie, and that is a win for us. >> the presidents perfectly popular in mississippi. why does his message resonate there? >> well, i mean, hes the president of the united states, and, you know, but he got less voters in mississippi than in louisiana and arkansas and in alabama. so, you know, all we have to do is...

The appetite is there. >> lets talk about that because there does seem to be an appetite, for instance, in the presidents tax returns to be released. >> is this really what were talking about today? >> yeah. because there will now be oversight that hasnt existed for the past two years. as you know democrats have long wanted there to be more oversight of this white house. >> well, sure. some of them it seems to be all they talk about. but what do their voters think? the last time the democrats di...

Carlos crabello, that voice gets lessoned. and mitt romney and ben sasse take up that mantle of that role he had been playing. we have a more polarized congress. i dont think this election says that the progressive wave is where democrats need to go, should go to win in 2020 going forward. but look at those suburban swing districts that they were able to pull. not -- you know, this is not pennsylvania won, which actually republicans held on to. this is oklahoma city suburbs, kansas city sub bauu...

I dont know if you are being modest about how you did this. because just to let people know, you are the first democrat to be elected to the office in 44 years. so that old boot strapping, you know, door to door retail politics is great. but wasnt there some other magic? how did you convince that sea of red to vote for a democrat? >> i think things are changing here. we had an amazing group of people that were involved. we really got a lot of young people involved. i think that is one of the thi...

Put it on him, but beto mania. there was a movement there in a race that he never really had a chance. >> true. >> beto was going to be the wendy davis of 2018. texas is still texas. >> sure. >> and democrats do what republicans have done before. they really invest emotionally in the person without sort of recognizing where the country is, what state theyre running in. so i understand that setting up that expectation was probably very emotionally devastating, joe. >> im like van. ill be fine. >>...

It looks like we will lose by a point, less than a point. we need to look at these things and think of them as a probability and not as a, well, thats close. that means well win. >> i want to emphasize turn-out again. it was extraordinary turn-out last night. thats an incredible surge. the democrat margin, the point robbie was making, is probably the largest we have seen since 2008. those are significant trends, not have a partisan perspective, but from a voter participation, people engaged with...

Carolina and legislative chambers and governorships. this is bad news for republicans in the future. secondly, you look at the upper midwest, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, we won those governorships. the map is looking better for democrats in 2020 now. and if i were the president today, i would be absolutely spooked. he is not setting himself up well for re-election. >> thats not how you feel, ana, this morning. >> my biggest problem is that the man on my house was bullish on ron desantis, ...
