this is 49.9% for conor lamb, 49.5% for rick saccone. only 918 votes separate these two candidates. jake and dana, this is a -- people thought it was going to be close, but this is really, really close. >> and for those wondering at home, we should point out, there is no automatic recount in pennsylvania on the congressional district level. there is on the statewide level, but on the congressional district level, if it becomes that close, a kacandidate will have to petition. >> that's right. we started out this evening talking about how republicans genuinely didn't think that they were going to win. democrats genuinely thought that they would. and now it feels less certain. i wouldn't say different, but less certain. jake, i feel like we've had -- we've done this before. this feels like deja vu, don't you? >> and let's take a look at the estimated absentee ballots by county that remain out there.

would argue i'm not sure that's enough. you got to be closer to 60%. if conor lamb can stay at 57%, 58% in allegheny county and keep the big -- this is where you have more people, the suburbs here. keep the lead here. rick saccone has to offset it here, 2,000 votes. that's not a big enough lead, not big enough to offset it, to cut into it. in westmoreland county as the rest of the vote comes in here, 12%, he's got to boost this a little bit. 56%, 57%, that's a healthy win normally. but back to presidential performance, i just want to show you president trump at much higher than that. so we'll keep counting them. it is getting tighter. 2,500 votes right now. >> tighter even as we spoke rath now. we're going to stay on top of this. john, stick around. we're going to continue to count the votes in pennsylvania. conor lamb holds a small lead in the special congressional election. much more right after this. ♪ slap on some cologne ♪ i'm 85 and i wanna go home ♪

absentee ballots could come down. in a allegheny county, when that final 3% comes in, conor lamb needs to stay there and boost that number. when you pull out, 918 votes ahead with 96% of the precincts and, again, i just want to check one more time to see if anything's moved. that's still at 99%. except rick saccone to get a little bit more here, but we're at 99%. so not a lot. this is key. when that 10% comes in, does it stick with this or does the saccone margin go up a little bit? if you are in the lamb campaign right now, this is what matters most, because it's the biggest part of the district. more people live in these precincts, because it's more suburban. you're more rural when you move out to the other places. you are calling your precinct captains in these areas trying to figure out what in allegheny county is missing. is it a big play place for us a you're biting your nails in both campaigns. >> and we're told there's about 3,700 is absentee ballots they're counting in allegheny

when the rest of allegheny county comes in, underperforming the president here, the third largest county in the state, and here, the second largest county in the district -- excuse me, not the state. could be the difference. there's one more county, more rural county. we'll come to it this way, down in the bottom half. a tiny slice, a little over 2% of the district compared to population. it's a much more rural area. 100% is in. rick saccone, he can't count for anymore votes out of this most republican area. and b, you've got 58% of the vote. normally you would think that's a pretty big win. if you compare it to presidential performance, not always fair. presidential is different from a midterm year, but if you're looking back at the trump coalition, does the president get his voters to come out after making the visit. rick saccone underperforming the president in this hour. i wish i could go back a couple of cycles and say how's he doing opposed to various republican candidates, but the last two cycles, the republican candidate ran unopposed. so i would just come back to the full district at 88%, 2,800-vote lead for conor lamb. he's at just 50.5% district

resistance is real, and real enough for a district where donald trump won by 20 points to look like it's going to be to a democratic seat. >> and of course that message of course implicitly is an insult to the republican in the race, anderson cooper, but we already heard at the end of the last week that people close to president trump reported that he was bad mouthing rick saccone the republican likely an expectation of not such a great night for the republicans this evening. >> we're going to have more on that. let's check the numbers. 35% of the vote in. 5,694 conor lamb is ahead by. you were talking about this during the break that this isn't just about these two candidates. >> right. there is no doubt. as every republican we talked to, jason until he's blue in the face, this is all about one candidate and an underperforming candidate. that ignores the larger environment that we're in. and this will not be breaking news to any republican. they know they're in a tough environment. but we shouldn't lose sight that

tonight. where does the passion lie? >> conor lamb, 98% ahead. they are still counting the final vote. 98% of the vote has been tallied. still too close to call. they're counting the absentee ballots, as well. all of that ahead. what's going on here? i'm babysitting. that'll be $50 bucks. you said $30 dollars. it was $30 before the pizza-ordering fee and the dog-sitting fee. are those my heels? with t-mobile taxes and fees are already included, so you get four unlimited lines for just $35 bucks each.

o'donnells and sharon engels, and a whole bunch of others who get through, who are just too radical. >> do you think the age of joe biden democrat is over? >> like i said, i think we may find that out in 2020 if he decides to run for president. there are a lot of people in the party that would like to see him try that. i'm not taking sides in it, but i don't think his days are over at all. he again came to alabama and it was a big success for us in the state. i think the thing about these races in a midterm, particularly this cycle for democrats, is keep it local. the second the race becomes nationalized, people go back to their tribe. they become red voters or blue voters, and you can't win in a red district. >> and conor lamb really focused on that, keeping it local. >> because if you make this about red versus blue and you're in a red district, that's not going to work too well. >> and he never did cable news. >> again, regardless of whether conor lamb actually pulls this

president's out selling the economic successes, that's going to influence a lot more. the rest of these races in the fall, they're not going to have the opportunity to pay attention to every single race. >> assuming he sticks to that message tomorrow, by the way. kristen, we haven't heard from you. >> i just disagree -- it may be true that the average person isn't thinking about it, but the people who are going to be running are going to be thinking about it. >> yes, big-time. >> and the people in the democratic party and the republican party are going to be thinking about and they're going to be watching this and they're going to be making a lot of decisions about what they're going to do. so there are two thunings. one, the republicans will be looking at the trump coalition and what's going on there. and the democrats are going to be looking at, are we going to try to run people in the districts that are like the districts, because that's a big fight. >> if you don't think -- >> by the way, 96% of the vote's in now. conor lamb slightly, now, 1238 ahead, a slight jump. >> just imagine this scenario. you're a republican, you're on the ballot this year, you know that every guide of history tells you, this is going to be a really rough year to run.

welcome back to this special coverage of this election in the 18th district of pennsylvania. we've got another key race alert. it's tightened a bit. take a look at this right now. 71% of the vote is now in in this pennsylvania district. conor lamb, the democrat, ahead by 5,100 votes over rick saccone. 51.5% to 47.9%. let's go over to john king at the magic wall. i guess the key question right now, the outstanding votes. where are they? >> we're getting into crunch time. the biggest basket of outstanding votes is actually in the third largest of the four counties in this district, which is washington county. it's been stuck at 33% reporting for quite some time and it's a dead heat. saccone with a minor lead there, fewer than 100 votes. if that stays like this, this is the key to the race right now in
