Younger faces in government come 2019 and a lot of them, i'm proud to say, are going to be the faces of women. as of right now the number of women who have won elections or reelections to congress is at at least 110. that's a new record. but even at this hour there's still a number of very important races yet to be decided. among them the florida senate race, considered too close to call with the republican rick scott leading the incumbent. democrat bill nelson, by less than half a percentage point. that is tight. montana's senate race also too close to call. the republican challenger, matt ro...

Majority of the vote, the plurality of the vote and we awe an increase on that yesterday, 7.5% more people voted for democrats than voted for republicans nationally, then they increase a little bit more with votes coming in late in california. at the end of the day the republicans have put themselves in a box canyon. how many more times can they run inside straight and win based on the back of old white guys? this is not -- this is not the 1950s. eisenhower is not running around. we've got to diversify and reach out to women, young people, people of color, people in the gay community. >> corne...
