midterm vote count. how you feel about the president, the economy, how excited you are to vote spells giant trouble for the democrats and giant opportunity for republicans. plus, some new cnn reporting on the behind the scenes battle between senators mitch mcconnell and rick scott over who should get more credit or more blame for how the senate shakes out after the midterms and an interrogation. other targets, new horrific details about the assailant who bludgeoned the speaker of the house s husband until he was unconscious. mr. pelosi asked to go to the bathroom which is where he was able to call 911 from his cell phone. the defendant realizing that mr. pelosi had called 911 took mr. pelosi downstairs near the front door of the residence. two police officers arrived at the front door two minutes after that 911 call. up first for us, though, a final snapshot of the midterm climate and it is beyond bleak for the democrats. let s set the stage, remember, republicans need on
confirmed dead, and as the survivors sift through the wreckage of their lives, the question is what comes next? this is my mother s house. this is my whole life. my mom was supposed to retire here and spend the rest of her life and be happy, and now we have nothing. do you have insurance? no. no, they don t like to insure mobile homes that close to the water. i will talk with a top dhs official on how to make a difference after disasters like this with so much loss. now nbc news has exclusively scooped when the next hearing will likely be for the january 6th committee. and we have our eyes and ears on the supreme court, where a big case with bigger implications for race and voting rights is playing out. a major story shaking up one of the closest watched races, and nbc news has not independently verified this, and how herschel walker is responding and the shocking response from his own son. first, jesse kirsch is on the ground. let s talk about sanibel. the number e
mcconnell that scott is using this committee to prepare for a presidential run. if you look at tv ad spending, tv ad spending, actually money, the mcconnell super pac spent $131 million, $131 million. the national republican senatorial committee $23 million. that s a pretty good exhibit. this is one of the oddest things in washington. the chairman of the campaign committee and the leadership usually work in concert, the whole thing is had that job a long time ago. right. so here is the sense in the senate, you nailed it among the republicans, is that rick scott used this job that s usually used to build credit jt in the senate to try and build this outside image and if they don t get the senate back, rick scott is going to hear about it much more than mitch mcconnell. listen, you heard biden sort of make use of one of the things that rick scott was saying about
