Machines in palm beach county have been working so hard they ve malfunctioned, erasing a day s worth of work. tonight, as republicans fight to hold on to their leads in the florida races for senate and for governor, president trump is not letting up on his attacks on the election process. the president tried to spin the midterms as a big win for him, a clam that s obviously not true. and it s even more dubious, as we ve seen democrats expand their gains over the past week. cnn s senior white house correspondent, pamela brown, joins us now. and pamela, president trump remains in election battle mode tonight. yeah, that s right. and then talking to white house officials, jake, president trump has been brooding about the election recount in florida, according to several people. and he s also making those feelings, those thoughts known on twitter. in fact, just today, he tweeted, when will bill nelson concede in ....
