Thank you for joining us today for our conversation with and charlie cook. Today, im going to ask my two favorite political leah askarinam, the editor of the hotline. Excuse for me to ask some questions, and hopefully we will all leave this discussion with a better of what may be a chaotic four years. Before we get started, if you would like to submit a question during the session, please do so in the q and a section on the righthand side of your screen. We will try to get to as many of your questions as possible during the hour. Lets start off with what everybody has been thinking of for the past two weeks. There has been a lot of handwringing among democrats about the direction of their party and a lot of republicans taking a victory lap. Republicans may pick up close to 10 seats in the house, but they will not flip it. They will likely lose one senate seat and are still at risk of losing the majority, and they lost the white house. On the other hand, democrats lost the expectations
Race to the white house. And theres still not a clear winner. Good evening, im allen martin. And im elizabeth cook. I spoke with Paul Henderson about the president ial election and how hard he thinks it will be Going Forward for whichever gentleman wins the presidency. I think its a surprise to pollsters. I think its a surprise on some levels to both sides of the parties,er both for republicans and democrats. And what its going to mean separately from what it means in terms of the length of time that now we have to wait to figure out what the leadership is going to look like for this country, its at least already sent a very clear message that there is not going to be a blue wave in terms of executive leadership in this country.

Now, that means that regardless of whos
Ill be listening with both ears. First, heres todays eye opener. Its your world in 90 seconds. Im not here to declare that weve won, but i am here to report when the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners. Joe biden within striking distance of the presidency. The Trump Campaign gears up for legal challenges. We are going to file suit in pennsylvania. Its a shame that we have to do that. Lawsuit schmasuits. We havent seen evidence theres something wrong. Control of the u. S. Senate still hanging in the balance. Democrats would have to win two of the three remaining tossups to take control. It wont be easy. Violence erupted across portland. The Oregon National guard has been deployed to the city. All that if you need a break from the election, rick is here to make you smile. Never gonna around and desert you and all that matters. Theres one thing we did learn last night is that pollsters dont know [ bleep ]. The polling was even worse than in 2016 . How do the polls just ke
Tonight, even though we dont have totals he is expected to speak he tweeted out earlier tonight basically saying that he won. And he accused the well he didnt name anybody in particular, but said that they were trying to steal the election. I think he said they are trying to steal the election. But we just saw a moment ago the crowd, this in front of the podium there kind of waving their hands. Waving their hands in the air they had yellow wristbands on which is part of the apparently the covid procedures so that at one point they were trying to get a crowd of about 400 i think they pared it down to maybe to 50 years to get inside they may of course we saw during the joe bidens several crews coming up before he came out to just wipe down the podium and make sure everything has been cleared. In this pandemic election is grant called were now waiting for President Trump to come out. Grant youve been following the numbers all night to listen to something just seeing where we talked about
