WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>And your complete coverage of campaign twenty twenty four is

2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>right here on Boston's news station WBZ, Boston's news radio.

3
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Lots of things to vote on today. On election day

4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts, voters were asked a few questions at the

5
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 2>ballot box ballid questions, five of them. Wbz's Nicole Davis

6
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>has been keeping an eye on the results. Slow to

7
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>get the results in, I guess, but you want to

8
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:24.920
<v Speaker 2>get them right, of course.

9
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 3>Well, of course, absolutely every vote counts, and we are

10
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 3>getting these results slowly but surely. And as for question one,

11
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 3>the question about auditing the legislature, Yes on one, since

12
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 3>we first started getting these results around eight o'clock has

13
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.119
<v Speaker 3>had a pretty healthy lead, with thirty three percent of

14
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 3>the results in it stays that way seventy one to

15
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 3>twenty nine percent. Question two, which is all about getting

16
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 3>rid of the mcast graduation requirement, with about thirty two

17
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 3>percent in yes on two, still steady up sixty to

18
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 3>forty percent. Question three, if passed, would allow rod share

19
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 3>drivers to unionize here in the Bay State. About thirty

20
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 3>three percent of that vote in yes on three, still

21
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 3>ahead fifty three to forty seven percent. Question five, the

22
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 3>question about raising the minimum wage for tipped employees.

23
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 4>No.

24
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 3>On five, still on top here, sixty five to thirty

25
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 3>five percent. And then then we've got another question all

26
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>about mental health treatment.

27
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 5>That is right, Nicole.

28
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Question four is all about the ability to grow and

29
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 2>use certain psychedelics. Wbz's Jared Brosnan as more on that.

30
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 6>Question four asks voters to consider the legalization of naturally

31
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 6>occurring psychedelic drugs like DMT, mescalin, and psilocybin aka what's

32
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 6>found in magic mushrooms. If passed, anyone over twenty one

33
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 6>years old can grow, share, or use psychedelics at home

34
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.120
<v Speaker 6>as long as they stay.

35
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 7>Below the legal threshold for each substance.

36
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 6>But outside of growing them yourself, the only way to

37
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 6>get the substances is through licensed professionals, so it wouldn't

38
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 6>be as easy as going to a dispensary for marijuana

39
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 6>or a liquor store for alcohol. Those against legalization point

40
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 6>to the potential health risks from adverse reactions to the

41
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 6>drugs and say they're unsure how the state can regulate

42
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 6>at home use. They also worry about a lack of

43
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 6>a breathalyzer type device that can instantly detect whether someone's

44
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 6>under the influence. Those in favors say so phichadelics psilocybin

45
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 6>in particular, can help treat things like post traumatic stress

46
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 6>disorder and anxiety. They also argue that expensive treatment costs

47
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 6>would mitigate any rampant recreational use. Jared Brosnan WBZ Boston's

48
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 6>News Radio and.

49
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to question four for a bit, the

50
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 2>race was pretty much fifty to fifty, but with thirty

51
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>one percent reporting now no votes arranging out fifty seven

52
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to forty three percent. Marijuana has also been a top

53
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 2>issue in a lot of states this election day. Massachusetts

54
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>legalized recreational pot in twenty sixteen. This year, voters in

55
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Florida rejected a ballid measure to legalize recreational marijuana in

56
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>their state. In the Dakotas, voters had similar measures. Those

57
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 2>tallies still too close to call. Nebraska is voting on

58
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 2>whether or not to legalize medical cannabis. Nebraska one of

59
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>just six states where marijuana is still completely outlawed, even

60
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 2>in medical settings. Twenty four states and the District of

61
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Columbia have already legalized recreational pot. Republican Kelly Ayo taking

62
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 2>the governor's race in New Hampshire. Today the WDBZ Sherry

63
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Small is here with the latest art man.

64
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 8>With that win, next year New Hampshire, we'll have his

65
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 8>third woman governor in the state's history, former US Senator

66
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 8>Kelly Ayot defeating former Manchester Mayor Democrat Joyce Craig. Now,

67
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 8>this was one of the most competitive gubernatorial races in

68
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 8>the country. Addressing supporters in Salem, Ayot called her win

69
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 8>a victory for an even brighter future for the greatest

70
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 8>state in the nation. Craig posting on exit, she was

71
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 8>proud of the race that they ran, and said she

72
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 8>called aot and wished her luck. Now, as far as

73
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 8>the two congressional districts go, District one incumbent Democrat Chris

74
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 8>pappiz with the seven point lead over Republican Russell Prescott

75
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 8>House District two, Democrat Maggie Goodlander has a solid eleven

76
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 8>point lead over Republican Lily Tang Williams. The AP, though

77
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 8>has not yet called either of those races been.

78
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>All right then Vermont Republican Governor Phil Scott he won

79
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>reelection to his fifth two year term. Democrat Josh Stein

80
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 2>wins the North Carolin a lot of Google to Torto race.

81
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>He beat Republican incombent Mark Robinson, whose campaign was dragged

82
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 2>into the national limelfe about reports of controversial comments he

83
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 2>allegedly made in the past. Governor Lex Stein thanking his

84
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>supporters after the race was called.

85
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 9>We chose hope over hates, competence over chaos, decency over division.

86
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 9>That's who we are as North Carolinians.

87
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Meantime, the presidential race in North Carolina is still too

88
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 2>close to call, though it is leaning toward former President

89
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump's favor. And we want to give you another

90
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 2>update on the presidential race numbers. Kabla Harris has won

91
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 2>Washington state. We told you earlier she had also won

92
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 2>her home state of California, Donald Trump winning Idaho, and

93
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>so as it sits right now, Kanala Harris has won

94
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>twelve states, one district in Maine as well as the

95
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 2>district of Columbia, while Donald Trump has twenty two states

96
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 2>under his belt and one district Nebraska. The election results

97
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 2>in terms of the electoral vote count, former President Trump

98
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 2>with two hundred and fourteen, vice President Kamala Harris sitting

99
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 2>at one hundred and seventy nine. Well all across the nation,

100
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 2>Voters are keeping an eye on the balance of power

101
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>in Congress. More and more votes are being counted in

102
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>wbz's Emma Friedman is here with the latest on those votes.

103
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 10>Emma Ben Democrats are facing strong headwinds to defend their

104
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 10>narrow fifty one to forty nine majority. There's still thirteen

105
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 10>races to be called. The GOP has gained one seat

106
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 10>in West Virginia, with Jim Justice that seat replacing Senator

107
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 10>Joe Manchin. Ohio is still counting the votes as of now,

108
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 10>Republican Bernie and Marino is leading with eighty five percent

109
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 10>of the votes counted. If he wins, that would flip

110
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 10>the seat long held by Democrat Chared Brown. Meantime, Vermont's

111
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 10>Bernie Sanders, Connecticut's Chris Murphy, and Rhode Islands Sheldon Whitehouse

112
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 10>all held on to their Senate seat. We're going to

113
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 10>keep you up to date here with Waldswall election coverage.

114
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 10>Ben back to you all right.

115
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 2>And in Maryland, Democrat Angela also Brooks has projected to

116
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 2>win the Senate race there. Also, Brooks spoke about her opponent,

117
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>former Governor Larry Hogan, after the race was called.

118
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 11>I received a call from Governor Hogan congratulating me on

119
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 11>tonight's victory, offering his congratulations and the congratulations of you.

120
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 11>Me and I know that we both share a very

121
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 11>deep love from Maryland and commitment to Maryland, so I

122
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 11>certainly want to thank him so much for his service.

123
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Also, Brooks will be the first black woman to represent

124
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Maryland in the US Senate, Richard Neil holding off his

125
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>challenger for the Massachusetts first Congressional district. There were three

126
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.240
<v Speaker 2>other races with challengers, but five of the congress Members

127
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 2>of Congress from Massachusetts were unopposed this time around, Jay Cochincloss,

128
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Seth Moulten, and Catherine Clark among them. In Connecticut, Senator

129
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Chris Murphy won re election to a third term. Voting

130
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 2>is a right, whether you've been casting ballots for decades

131
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>or this is your first time going to the polls.

132
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.879
<v Speaker 2>WBC's Aile Shaffle catching up with all of the above.

133
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.160
<v Speaker 12>For Julia Mitchell, this election day is different from every other.

134
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 12>This first time in my life, I vote. I'm sixty

135
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 12>going on sixty seven. After decades on the political sideline,

136
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.000
<v Speaker 12>She's decided to vote on this one. Julia wasn't Donald

137
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 12>Trump's camp during his presidency, but his behavior in the

138
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 12>last days of the campaign trails motivated her to cast

139
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 12>a ballot against him.

140
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 10>A president shouldn't make derogatory, you know, remarks about anybody.

141
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 12>Plenty of voters here at a West Roxbury polling station

142
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 12>tell me the act of voting is a sacred right

143
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 12>and duty. It's all the more powerful for Brandon, who

144
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 12>is stripped from the voter rules in Texas nearly a

145
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.600
<v Speaker 12>dozen times before coming here. It's meant a lot to

146
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.040
<v Speaker 12>me to be able to just come down here and

147
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.279
<v Speaker 12>just vote. And the power of the vote reaches across

148
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 12>the aisle for this Trump voter too.

149
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 13>No, I always want I think it's the right thing

150
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 13>to do.

151
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 7>Obviously, a lot of people fought in this country to

162
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Night side with Dan Ray Election Night in America WBZ,

163
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 1>Boston's news Radio.

164
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 14>I'm delighted to welcome back to our microphone someone who's

165
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 14>become a regular guest on all of these big election nights,

166
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 14>Former Lieutenant Governor Calmwealth of Massachusetts.

167
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.200
<v Speaker 13>Tom O'Neil, the third and the.

168
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:42.440
<v Speaker 14>Namesake son of I think the greatest House speaker in history,

169
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 14>Former House Speaker Tom Tip O'Neil. Tom O'Neil, welcome back

170
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 14>to night's side. I know this is not a great

171
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 14>night for your party, but i'd love to get your

172
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 14>reaction to it as it is evolving. It's not over

173
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 14>until the Fat Lady sings, as they say, but here

174
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 14>a warming up.

175
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 5>I thought it would be a better Nightdea, and it's

176
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.360
<v Speaker 5>turning out to be. We needed to do better in

177
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.960
<v Speaker 5>states like New Hampshire in Virginia than we've done, although

178
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 5>we probably will win both of those states. Then we

179
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 5>needed to go south and do better in North Carolina

180
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 5>and Georgia. And Kamala Harris is just not doing as

181
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 5>well as Joe Biden did four years ago, and she

182
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 5>may well lose both of those states. And though it

183
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.559
<v Speaker 5>leaves US. Then it leads us to the Blue Wall

184
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 5>states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, and we need a

185
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 5>minor miracle to win those states. And if she does,

186
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 5>and she becomes an ex president of the United States,

187
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 5>if Donald Trump continues to lead in Wisconsin as he

188
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.960
<v Speaker 5>has been, then we've got a problem. And tomorrow will

189
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 5>be a different day, and then ex president will be

190
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 5>the fortynth President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

191
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 14>So I guess there's no one who I know who's

192
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 14>more experienced politically than you, because obviously you learned, you know,

193
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 14>at your father's.

194
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:11.039
<v Speaker 13>Me literally growing up. How can you I never thought.

195
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 14>That after January sixth, Donald Trump would be able, after

196
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 14>all that he has gone through and you know, impeachments, indictments,

197
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 14>could ever get back to this point. I thought he

198
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 14>could cobble together the nomination. But I've never seen a

199
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.240
<v Speaker 14>I know that America loves comebacks, but I've never seen

200
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.840
<v Speaker 14>a political comeback of this magnitude. If indeed he does

201
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 14>prevail tonight.

202
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.960
<v Speaker 5>If he does, and and add to that, Dan his

203
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 5>rhetoric over the last two weeks, yeah, yeah, he's an

204
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.200
<v Speaker 5>off message. He's not he's not targeted at his own

205
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 5>his own his own target and base groups. We all

206
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 5>as political strategies really can't understand how he's done as

207
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 5>well tonight and today as he has done. I think

208
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 5>the better news side of the story is we may

209
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 5>well lose the Senate, but it looks like we're going

210
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 5>to go back and win the House of Representatives of

211
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 5>the US Congress.

212
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 14>I haven't I haven't thought that I had seth molten

213
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 14>on and I asked him about last hour, and I

214
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 14>know it's it's very close.

215
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 13>I think that.

216
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 14>Sharon Brown has just lost Ohio to the Republican candidate.

217
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 5>They called it. And it looks like John Testa might

218
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 5>lose in Montana, which would lose, which would leave us

219
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.679
<v Speaker 5>for a two seat deficit in the US Senate. But

220
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 5>it looks as well that we might pick up five

221
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 5>or six seats in the US House and it will

222
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.240
<v Speaker 5>give us some macharity in the House. And and that's

223
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 5>great news for balance, you know, balance and in the

224
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 5>in the in the Congress and the edit policy creation.

225
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 14>I think most people like to have that that sort

226
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 14>of balance. So let me ask you, uh, I guess

227
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 14>a tougher question. Does the leadership well First of first

228
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 14>of all, does the leadership of the Democratic Party. I'm

229
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.480
<v Speaker 14>talking Chuck Schumer and uh, you know Nancy Pelosi who

230
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.679
<v Speaker 14>no longer is the speaker. But do they have to

231
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 14>at this point give way to new new leadership, you

232
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 14>know within the Democratic Party, people like Seth Moulton and

233
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:23.159
<v Speaker 14>others who may maybe more in the following the Tip

234
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 14>O'Neill Democrats. I mean, I kind of imagine that your

235
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.159
<v Speaker 14>father would have allowed Union leaders like Sean O'Brien and

236
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.279
<v Speaker 14>others to walk away from the Democratic Party in the

237
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:33.440
<v Speaker 14>presidential life.

238
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 5>I do think, Dan, that we have to come back

239
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 5>and reassess what it is Donald Trump, what he's talking to,

240
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 5>what is his base, what are they listening to? What

241
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.080
<v Speaker 5>is it they want? We want delivering for them. The

242
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 5>fact of the matter is, I am I've always considered

243
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:55.279
<v Speaker 5>myself a progressive. Yeah, by today's by today's logic, I'd

244
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 5>be a moderate if I were in the US Congress.

245
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.720
<v Speaker 5>It does some order it and I just think we

246
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.240
<v Speaker 5>have to reassess where the Democratic has been going and

247
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.840
<v Speaker 5>where it needs to reside in order to win the

248
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.919
<v Speaker 5>middle class back where it needs to win. America's honted

249
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.039
<v Speaker 5>back and where those issues that we have traditionally been

250
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 5>but apparently have lust and you know we've got we've

251
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.360
<v Speaker 5>got the mind and we've got the body. Well we

252
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.519
<v Speaker 5>need is we need to recapture the soul of what's

253
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 5>going on in America.

254
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.840
<v Speaker 14>That's well said, well said. So my other question, and

255
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.080
<v Speaker 14>again I know that you know the president have known

256
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.080
<v Speaker 14>the president for a long time. I wonder if he

257
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.000
<v Speaker 14>is tonight thinking to himself if I wasn't forced out

258
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 14>or maybe you accept that, maybe you don't, but I

259
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:49.480
<v Speaker 14>think he was kind of forced out that he can

260
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.759
<v Speaker 14>look back and say, hey, I was I passed in

261
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 14>twenty sixteen. I beat this guy in twenty in twenty twenty,

262
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 14>and I could have beaten him again tonight. Do you

263
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 14>think regrets within the Biden family?

264
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 5>I think with you know, he's a human being, So

265
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.399
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure he's thinking about if it were me, could

266
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.519
<v Speaker 5>I have done better than Kamala. The fact of the

267
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.039
<v Speaker 5>matter is, I don't know that that would have been

268
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.240
<v Speaker 5>the case. I think she turned out to be a

269
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.600
<v Speaker 5>very good candidate. I think the people around her gave

270
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:23.480
<v Speaker 5>her a very strong, strategic kind of target, and I

271
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 5>think their campaign was right on. That's really the reason

272
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying to myself, I think we need to go

273
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.399
<v Speaker 5>back and reassess where it is we've been as a

274
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.200
<v Speaker 5>democratic body. Who the hell are we talking to, and

275
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 5>how do we get back to representing you know that

276
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 5>that that that middle class that we have traditionally represented,

277
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 5>and bring it forward so that we can move America ahead.

278
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:45.759
<v Speaker 13>Well, it looked to me, you.

279
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.879
<v Speaker 14>Know, from Afar, that that there was some natural constituencies

280
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 14>which were disappointed. I think that a lot of uh,

281
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.320
<v Speaker 14>you know, Jewish voters probably migrated to Trump, and I think, ironically,

282
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.960
<v Speaker 14>at the same time, there were Muslim voters who migrated

283
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 14>to Trump simultaneously. I don't know how he did that,

284
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker 14>but I think that's what the statistics will show.

285
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.080
<v Speaker 5>I think you're right, and I think we have to

286
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 5>figure out how he did to that and what they

287
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 5>heard that we didn't understand, to be perfectly honest with you,

288
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 5>because how a Jewish community can get behind Trump simply

289
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 5>because he moved a capital or an embassy in Israel

290
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:30.720
<v Speaker 5>is extraordinarily beyond me. When the Democratic body has always

291
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.960
<v Speaker 5>been the hot of the Israeli state and the Jewish

292
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 5>community and has viewed them as our greatest ally.

293
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.039
<v Speaker 14>From Harry Truman, who was the first area coming leader

294
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 14>of any country. Tom O'Neill is always I thank you

295
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.159
<v Speaker 14>for staying up late. I wish for you. The results

296
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:48.039
<v Speaker 14>were a little bit different.

297
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 5>It's not over yet, but we need me a miracle,

298
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.879
<v Speaker 5>but maybe we'll get it. If we don't, we're going

299
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 5>to stay back and we're going to continue the good fight. Dan,

300
00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:58.240

<v Speaker 2>Radio, sixty one degrees in Boston at eleven thirty. Good evening,

310
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Some more states called

311
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.960
<v Speaker 2>in the presidential race for Vice president Kamala Harris. She

312
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.559
<v Speaker 2>has won thirteen states plus one district in Maine. In

313
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the District of Columbia, the latest state to go for

314
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris, Oregon. She now has one hundred and eighty

315
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 2>seven electoral votes, while former President Donald Trump has now

316
00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:00.799
<v Speaker 2>won twenty three states, along with one district in Nebraska. Carolina,

317
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.079
<v Speaker 2>which was a battleground state and both candidates that spent

318
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time in goes to former President Trump.

319
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.640
<v Speaker 2>He now has two hundred and thirty electoral votes of

320
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the two hundred and seventy needed to win the White House.

321
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Polls have closed in most of the states across the

322
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 2>country now except for Alaska and Hawaii. Election results slowly

323
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 2>but surely pouring in from every milk and cranny of

324
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the country except one. It'll be quite some time before

325
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.200
<v Speaker 2>we know which presidential candidate won the key swing state

326
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>of Nevada.

327
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 15>The Secretary of State says there are twenty eight thousand

328
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.880
<v Speaker 15>votes or so that need curing. That means ballots that

329
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.000
<v Speaker 15>need to be revised, that need to be validated, and

330
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:43.039
<v Speaker 15>in some cases the voters need to be notified in

331
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 15>order for them to fix any issues.

332
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:46.119
<v Speaker 3>That arise with them.

333
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:50.519
<v Speaker 15>That process, plus the mail in ballo postmark by election

334
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:56.160
<v Speaker 15>day but arriving until Saturday, November ninth, could significantly delay

335
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 15>when we learned the state's total results. Luciano CBS News, Las.

336
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.799
<v Speaker 4>Vegas, Nevada.

337
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.759
<v Speaker 2>In Massachusetts, the senior Senator Elizabeth Warren declaring re election victory.

338
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Wbz's Madison Rodgers with more projections.

339
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 16>Say, it's going to be another six years in Washington

340
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.519
<v Speaker 16>for Senator Elizabeth Warren.

341
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:19.480
<v Speaker 17>We have reminded people that government can be harnessed to

342
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:24.599
<v Speaker 17>work not just for the wealthy and well connected, but

343
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:28.599
<v Speaker 17>that week can actually make government work for the people.

344
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 16>Senator took the stage as her campaign and local Democrats celebrate.

345
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.119
<v Speaker 16>She outlined a top fight ahead and said in her

346
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.200
<v Speaker 16>third term she prioritize things like bringing down the cost

347
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.319
<v Speaker 16>of childcare and housing and restoring ropy wave protections. It

348
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.160
<v Speaker 16>is still yet to be seen how en reached those goals.

349
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 16>Are the balance of power still teetering in Washington, Senator

350
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.440
<v Speaker 16>Warren telling the crowd it's going to be a long night,

351
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:54.839
<v Speaker 16>maybe a long week, but no matter what happens.

352
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:56.240
<v Speaker 3>She's ready for the fight ahead.

353
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 16>In the South End, I'm Madison Rogers, WVZ Boston's news Radio.

354
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:05.359
<v Speaker 2>On Tremont Street this evening, Warren's Republican challenger, John Deaton

355
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.839
<v Speaker 2>concedes alongside his supporters wbz's Mike Macklin with Moore.

356
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:10.480
<v Speaker 18>Look, I'm disappointing the results.

357
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.640
<v Speaker 13>I'm a competitive guy.

358
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.720
<v Speaker 19>John Deeton conceded defeat in his long shot bid to

359
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 19>unseen Senator Elizabeth Warren and told his supporters he has

360
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.200
<v Speaker 19>no regrets despite the outcome.

361
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 18>I'm proud of my campaign and how it was run

362
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 18>from this entire time. No lies, no name calling, just

363
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.160
<v Speaker 18>trying to focus on policy.

364
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:35.680
<v Speaker 19>In a divisive campaign season. Deaton said he was determined

365
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 19>to stay positive.

366
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:38.200
<v Speaker 13>We show people.

367
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 18>There's a difference between fighting against things and fighting four things,

368
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 18>fighting against people and fighting four people. I wish the

369
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 18>race was more competitive than it was, but you know,

370
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.400
<v Speaker 18>something changes hard.

371
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:54.279
<v Speaker 19>Deeton said he remains committed to making the Republican Party

372
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:58.319
<v Speaker 19>more competitive in Massachusetts and would not rule out another

373
00:19:58.359 --> 00:19:59.920
<v Speaker 19>bid for elective office.

374
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:01.000
<v Speaker 13>Change.

375
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:05.200
<v Speaker 18>It takes time, but we need change in this state.

376
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:08.599
<v Speaker 19>Mike Maclin, WBZ, Bospoon's News Radio.

377
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I got pon WBZ. We'll crunch the numbers on the

378
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 2>ballot questions in Massachusetts eleven thirty three as we check

379
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.119
<v Speaker 2>traffic and weather together the super retailers of New England

380
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:20.960

00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna have temperatures in the mid to upper seventies and

414
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:43.759
<v Speaker 2>we might set a record.

415
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Complete coverage of campaign twenty twenty four continues now on

416
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.599
<v Speaker 1>WBZ News Radio.

417
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Another update here from the WBZ presidential election results headquarters,

418
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 2>New Mexico goes to come La Harris if she picks

419
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.759
<v Speaker 2>up the five electoral votes in New Mexico and now

420
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:07.920
<v Speaker 2>has one hundred and ninety two electoral votes compared to

421
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and thirty for Donald Trump. To seventy is

422
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the number needed for winning the White House. Will continue

423
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:16.319
<v Speaker 2>to follow these numbers as we head through the evening,

424
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and we continue on with our coverage about the questions

425
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:22.519
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts. And the thing is, there are all kinds

426
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 2>of questions about those questions, five ballot questions on the

427
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.519
<v Speaker 2>ballot this year, and Nicole Davis has been watching things

428
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:32.119
<v Speaker 2>and we're starting to get a feel for who thinks

429
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:32.720
<v Speaker 2>they did what.

430
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're getting an idea. The big news in this report, Ben,

431
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:39.680
<v Speaker 3>is that we have some movement on Question four. No

432
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:42.000
<v Speaker 3>official concession yet, but now we have a statement from

433
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.039
<v Speaker 3>the Yes on four campaign that says, quote, we understand

434
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:47.960
<v Speaker 3>that we're concerns about the home grow provisions. Again, this

435
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:50.279
<v Speaker 3>is the psychedelics question. I think go on in the

436
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.359
<v Speaker 3>statement to say the concerns have likely led to the

437
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:55.039
<v Speaker 3>question playing out the way it is. That being said, again,

438
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 3>they have not conceded. They said they won't do so

439
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.519
<v Speaker 3>till tomorrow, after all the ballots are counted. It now

440
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.359
<v Speaker 3>we also just heard as well from the No on

441
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.160
<v Speaker 3>four campaign they say, quote, today voters across Massachusetts came

442
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 3>together to reject the passage of Question four in recognition

443
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:13.640
<v Speaker 3>of the negative impacts it would have. Right now, No

444
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:16.400
<v Speaker 3>on four is winning fifty eight to forty two percent.

445
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 3>Question one which would allow the legislature to be audited.

446
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes on one still ups a steady seventy one to

447
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.000
<v Speaker 3>twenty nine percent. It's been that way for about a

448
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:27.799
<v Speaker 3>couple hours. Question three to allow ride share drivers to unionize.

449
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes fifty three percent, No, forty seven percent. Question five

450
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 3>the question about the tip to employee minimum wage, about

451
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:37.599
<v Speaker 3>fifty percent reporting ben No on five ups sixty five

452
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.920
<v Speaker 3>thirty five. And then our final question is a question

453
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.039
<v Speaker 3>about schools and a well known tests.

454
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, Nicole, it's all about the MCAST test that high

455
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:51.160
<v Speaker 2>school graduations. Wz's Brooke McCarthy explains question two right now.

456
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.880
<v Speaker 21>It's something all tenth graders need to take to graduate

457
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 21>the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System tests better known as MCASTS.

458
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:01.319
<v Speaker 21>But on the ballot is question two, which would eliminate

459
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:05.079
<v Speaker 21>MCAST as a high school graduation requirement. If Question two

460
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 21>does pass, students would still need to take the MCAST exams,

461
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.720
<v Speaker 21>but they would no longer need to get a passing score. Instead,

462
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.519
<v Speaker 21>the over three hundred school districts across the state would

463
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.440
<v Speaker 21>set their own criteria for graduation. This would make Massachusetts

464
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 21>one of just a handful of states without a common

465
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 21>graduation standard. Those in favor of question two say this

466
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.400
<v Speaker 21>would give all students the opportunity to thrive and reach

467
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 21>their full potential because some don't get their diploma because

468
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.640
<v Speaker 21>of it. Those against Question two argue it's unfair and

469
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.000
<v Speaker 21>it's not right to grant diplomas to kids that aren't

470
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.759
<v Speaker 21>ready to graduate. Less than one percent of high school

471
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.640
<v Speaker 21>seniors don't get their diploma because of the mcast Brooke

472
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 21>McCarthy WBZ, Boston's News Radio.

473
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:47.400
<v Speaker 2>As of right now, Yes On two remains up when

474
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.559
<v Speaker 2>it comes to results, fifty nine to forty one percent.

475
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Just over fifty percent of the votes have been reported.

476
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Exit polls from ABC show democracy, the economy, and abortion

477
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:00.119
<v Speaker 2>rights are top concerns among voters as the nation and

478
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.799
<v Speaker 2>chooses its next president. ABC's with Johnson's at mar Lago,

479
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.559
<v Speaker 2>where former President Trump is spending this election night.

480
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 7>There are a lot of young men in the audience here.

481
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:12.680
<v Speaker 7>I was at Madison Square Garden with that big rally there,

482
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.119
<v Speaker 7>some twenty thousand people, and I spoke to a lot

483
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.119
<v Speaker 7>of these young men and asked them what it was

484
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:19.640
<v Speaker 7>about Donald Trump that appealed to them. Many of them

485
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:22.680
<v Speaker 7>either weren't old enough to vote before, or maybe didn't

486
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 7>participate in politics in the past, but they were drawn

487
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.839
<v Speaker 7>to him for a variety of reasons. Immigration and the

488
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.279
<v Speaker 7>economy were a big part of it. A lot of

489
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.559
<v Speaker 7>these young men who feel like the middle class American

490
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.640
<v Speaker 7>dream is difficult to achieve, difficult to reach, they felt

491
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:38.720
<v Speaker 7>like they could connect with Trump and he was the

492
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:40.519
<v Speaker 7>man who could help them get there.

493
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 2>And former President Trump has already won the state of

494
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Florida and its thirty electoral votes. Meantime, the Harris campaign

495
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:51.920
<v Speaker 2>is convening at her alma mater, Howard University. Even though

496
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the former president has a lead in the electoral college

497
00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 2>and popular vote, the vice President is hoping her work

498
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.039
<v Speaker 2>and swing states like Nevada will help to flip the

499
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:02.799
<v Speaker 2>tide where voters are concerned about the economy.

500
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:04.839
<v Speaker 22>The Hairs campaign is well aware of all of those issues,

501
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Speaker 22>especially in Nevada. It's why she unveiled her housing plan

502
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:10.920
<v Speaker 22>in that state. She knew that she had to hammer

503
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.119
<v Speaker 22>home the issue of the economy and make clear that

504
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:15.240
<v Speaker 22>that was going to be her top priority, that lowering

505
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.440
<v Speaker 22>the cost of groceries was going to be at their

506
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.640
<v Speaker 22>very first priority. When she gets into office, She always

507
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.680
<v Speaker 22>said she would pass if elected, this big economic package

508
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.119
<v Speaker 22>of bills to do just that. The question is whether

509
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:26.720
<v Speaker 22>that message got across.

510
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:26.920
<v Speaker 13>And was enough.

511
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.960
<v Speaker 2>That is ABC's Mary Bruce. Florida voters strike down a

512
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.599
<v Speaker 2>ballot measure aimed at loosening that states strict limits on

513
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:34.759
<v Speaker 2>reproductive rights.

514
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.640
<v Speaker 23>Florida voters have rejected an abortion rights amendment and are

515
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.799
<v Speaker 23>keeping in place Governor Ron DeSantis's six week ban. The

516
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:44.000
<v Speaker 23>initiative failed to get the sixty percent threshold required. The

517
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:46.680
<v Speaker 23>measure faced an uphill battle in the deeply read state,

518
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:50.519
<v Speaker 23>where former President Donald Trump, a Florida resident, said during

519
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 23>the campaign he would vote against the measure. About one

520
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 23>fourth of voters have said abortion policy was the single

521
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:59.440
<v Speaker 23>most important factor for their vote. That's according to AP

522
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.279
<v Speaker 23>vote Cast, a sweeping survey of more than one hundred

523
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.400
<v Speaker 23>and ten thousand voters nationwide.

524
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm Haefendwani in New Hampshire. Voters deciding on the states

525
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:14.640
<v Speaker 2>two congressional seats and the race for governor, and it

526
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.680
<v Speaker 2>is a brand new governor coming in. We now know

527
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:20.640
<v Speaker 2>who that brand new governor will be, Sherry'small.

528
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.200
<v Speaker 8>That's why I've been in the race for governor. It's

529
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.920
<v Speaker 8>Republican Canada Kelly Aot who takes the win tonight, beating

530
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:31.559
<v Speaker 8>Democrat Joyce Craig. Aot came into this race with widespread

531
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:35.519
<v Speaker 8>name recognition as a former US Senator and former attorney general.

532
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:40.680
<v Speaker 8>She also had the endorsement of Republican Governor Christan UNW Craig,

533
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:44.680
<v Speaker 8>the former mayor of Manchester, the Granite State's largest city,

534
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 8>posted on x that she was proud of the race

535
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.759
<v Speaker 8>that they ran in said that she called Aot to

536
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.559
<v Speaker 8>congratulate her. Now, Democrats are in the lead so far

537
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:57.279
<v Speaker 8>in both congressional districts. We're waiting for both of these

538
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:00.000
<v Speaker 8>races to be called by the AP, which should be

539
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.039
<v Speaker 8>very soon. The race in New Hampshire's first congressional district

540
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 8>between incumbent Democrat Chris Pappis and Republican Russell Prescott. Pappis

541
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.960
<v Speaker 8>leading by eight points, and we are reading though, despite

542
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 8>the fact that the AP hasn't called it, we're reading

543
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:23.319
<v Speaker 8>reports that Chris Pappis has declared victory tonight in the

544
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 8>race and that Russell Prescott conceded. Also, there is the

545
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.160
<v Speaker 8>race in New hampshire second Congression congressional district that's between

546
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:38.640
<v Speaker 8>Democrat Maggie Goodlinder and Republican Louis Tang Williams Goodline. Good

547
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:40.680
<v Speaker 8>Lander with an eleven point lead.

548
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Ben all Right, thanks a lot, cherry, and most states

549
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 2>have closed their polls. Only Alaska and Hawaii have not,

550
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and this election day is just about behind us. But

551
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:51.799
<v Speaker 2>CBS's Nicole Skanga tells us today's voting was not without

552
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.720
<v Speaker 2>a few scanners.

553
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:55.440
<v Speaker 17>Officials and at least two states made in Georgia say

554
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.039
<v Speaker 17>police have responded to threats against schools and polling places today,

555
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.160
<v Speaker 17>none of them credible. Brad Raffensberger, the Georgia Secretary of State,

556
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.240
<v Speaker 17>saying in a news conference that officials had identified the

557
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:09.160
<v Speaker 17>source that it was from Russia. The FBI also putting

558
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.039
<v Speaker 17>out a statement indicating many of the threats appear to

559
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:14.119
<v Speaker 17>originate from Russian email to.

560
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Mean maintime officials say the US Capital Visitors Center was

561
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.359
<v Speaker 2>closed this afternoon after a man tried to get into

562
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:23.039
<v Speaker 2>that building with a torch and a flare gun. Former

563
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:25.440
<v Speaker 2>President Donald Trump is trying to do something that has

564
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:28.559
<v Speaker 2>not been done since the late eighteen hundreds become president

565
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:32.079
<v Speaker 2>for a second non consecutive term, the last and only

566
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:32.839
<v Speaker 2>person to do it.

567
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.319
<v Speaker 12>Dear, this is your old pal, Grover.

568
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Our old pal, Grover Cleveland turned the trick. He was

569
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 2>elected as the twenty second president, served from eighteen eighty

570
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:44.680
<v Speaker 2>five to eighteen eighty nine, and, after being defeated by

571
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Benjamin Harrison, won the presidency again as the twenty fourth

572
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.079
<v Speaker 2>president and served from eighteen ninety three to eighteen ninety seven.

573
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland's loss in eighteen eighty eight featured him winning the

574
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.279
<v Speaker 2>popular vote but losing with fewer electoral votes. By the way,

575
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Grover Cleveland the only president married in the White House.

576
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:06.079
<v Speaker 2>He married Francis Fulsom in June of eighteen eighty six.

577
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Stay with WBZ, We'll continue to follow developments on this

578
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.759
<v Speaker 2>election night. We've got Jim McKay coming up at midnight

579
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.480
<v Speaker 2>with more of the results from all across the country.

580
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:16.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ben Parker.

581
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Our election night coverage continues now with night Side with

582
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:25.119
<v Speaker 1>Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news Radio.

583
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 14>Well, I'm delighted to be joined as our final guest

584
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:32.720
<v Speaker 14>tonight here on the Night Side portion of the special

585
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:38.880
<v Speaker 14>twenty twenty four presidential election program by Emerson College poster

586
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:43.240
<v Speaker 14>Spencer Kimball. Spencer welcome back, Thanks so much for being

587
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:48.240
<v Speaker 14>with us for a few minutes. To end my evening here,

588
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:54.599
<v Speaker 14>I have to say that I'm following this race very

589
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:59.720
<v Speaker 14>closely and I'm particularly watching Iowa, and I know you

590
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.160
<v Speaker 14>don't want to talk about it, but I just want

591
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:03.559
<v Speaker 14>to say congratulations.

592
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:05.640
<v Speaker 13>You called Iowa.

593
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.359
<v Speaker 14>Over the weekend, the Des Moines Register had a poll

594
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:14.319
<v Speaker 14>which suggested that perhaps Kamala Harris was in the lead

595
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.160
<v Speaker 14>of Iowa, and it was a shock poll. You had

596
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.240
<v Speaker 14>a poll over the weekend which has hit the final

597
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.599
<v Speaker 14>number in Iowa right on the button, fifty five to

598
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:28.279
<v Speaker 14>forty five approximately.

599
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:31.720
<v Speaker 13>You're not going to take a victory lap.

600
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:33.839
<v Speaker 14>I know you too well, but I got to tell

601
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:36.240
<v Speaker 14>you you must feel pretty good because there were a

602
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:38.480
<v Speaker 14>lot of people who were looking at that Des Moines

603
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 14>Register poll a little more closely than they were looking

604
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:43.000
<v Speaker 14>at your polling in the state of Iowa.

605
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:47.039
<v Speaker 4>Well, then, it's always pleasure to be with you, and

606
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:50.519
<v Speaker 4>thanks for the coverage this evening. It was a good

607
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:56.160
<v Speaker 4>experiment in different methods in survey research, and that's what

608
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.160
<v Speaker 4>in our world. We had a chance last week to

609
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.839
<v Speaker 4>talk methodology, where each polster comes up with new methods

610
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker 4>of how to collect data and how to analyze data.

611
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:11.039
<v Speaker 4>And Ann Seltzer is a great polster out of Iowa,

612
00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:14.240
<v Speaker 4>and she's had a traditional method of collecting data using

613
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:18.319
<v Speaker 4>live operators, using different techniques that have been very beneficial.

614
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:21.839
<v Speaker 4>But as technology and communication has advanced, so to have

615
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.680
<v Speaker 4>our methods. And I think it demonstrated that in the

616
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.640
<v Speaker 4>twenty first century of polling that some of those traditional

617
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 4>methods which are still successful, can also be you know,

618
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:36.720
<v Speaker 4>new methods can be utilized that are also successful. And

619
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 4>I think that Iowa demonstrated that.

620
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.480
<v Speaker 14>Now I had my eye on Iowa tonight, I assume

621
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:43.519
<v Speaker 14>you did as well.

622
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:47.319
<v Speaker 13>But you're very gracious in your comments tonight.

623
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 14>So I'm going to move on here and tell you

624
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 14>that I kept a particular look for it because I

625
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.240
<v Speaker 14>take some pride in the hometown team and you and

626
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.960
<v Speaker 14>a friend Dave Paleologus and John Zogby as well are

627
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.960
<v Speaker 14>the three poles is where I rely upon. So thank

628
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.119
<v Speaker 14>you for being available tonight.

629
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.319
<v Speaker 4>We well, we lived up to the expectation there.

630
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:09.960
<v Speaker 13>You sure did you sure did?

631
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

632
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 14>You've also lived up to the expectation tonight. I think

633
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:18.839
<v Speaker 14>this race is going very much in the way that

634
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:24.599
<v Speaker 14>that many thought. But what I mean, it looks to

635
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.559
<v Speaker 14>me as if Donald Trump is going to be the

636
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:32.039
<v Speaker 14>president elect, if not tonight, sometime in the next day

637
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:33.799
<v Speaker 14>or so. Am I reading that?

638
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:38.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? No, no, no, I think we've seen enough in

639
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 4>the in the data here, certainly in the voting, that

640
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:46.799
<v Speaker 4>he has outperformed the polls once again. Now you know,

641
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:48.720
<v Speaker 4>we've been pretty good with him. We had him winning

642
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:51.279
<v Speaker 4>these states, but he's winning them by two to three

643
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:54.200
<v Speaker 4>points higher, which is still, you know, a pretty good polling,

644
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:59.079
<v Speaker 4>but that's his tradition. Now he's got some big What

645
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 4>we've seen is not just in the swing states, and

646
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.240
<v Speaker 4>you know those are the most competitive because that's where

647
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Harris spent you know, billions of dollars in advertising, but

648
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:09.440
<v Speaker 4>in these other states, like look at New Jersey, what

649
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:13.440
<v Speaker 4>are we at four or five points in Jersey? Minnesota

650
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:19.960
<v Speaker 4>two three points, so Virginia that's been sitting. So these

651
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 4>are states that the Democrats were at ten points. And

652
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:25.480
<v Speaker 4>while Trump may not win these states as we come

653
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:28.480
<v Speaker 4>back from this election, while there's a lot more things

654
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:31.599
<v Speaker 4>in play, and it looks as if the electorate has

655
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:35.360
<v Speaker 4>made a real shift in how they're going to vote

656
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:37.840
<v Speaker 4>in the future, and look at like the state of Florida.

657
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 4>That state doesn't look to be in play at all

658
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:43.599
<v Speaker 4>for the Democrats in the future. That could become a

659
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:47.440
<v Speaker 4>problem for them as the electorate shrinks. And it's amazing

660
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:49.840
<v Speaker 4>to think where we were just eight years ago when

661
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:53.679
<v Speaker 4>Trump won that first election, not winning the popular vote.

662
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.480
<v Speaker 4>He might win the popular vote as well tonight when

663
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:04.320
<v Speaker 4>you start looking at California hasn't come in. Yeah, that's

664
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:06.239
<v Speaker 4>a good point, but I think he I think he

665
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 4>could walk out with the popular vote.

666
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:17.039
<v Speaker 14>It's stunning to think of this. This this this political resurrection.

667
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:19.880
<v Speaker 14>I mean when you think of where he was in

668
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:26.119
<v Speaker 14>twenty twenty one, after the disgraceful events of January sixth,

669
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:32.559
<v Speaker 14>twenty twenty one, and the indictments, all of that, and

670
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:35.039
<v Speaker 14>everything was on the line for him tonight.

671
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:36.760
<v Speaker 13>I had I spoke with Tom.

672
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:40.519
<v Speaker 14>O'Neill earlier this hour, and he was trying to figure

673
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:42.199
<v Speaker 14>out I was trying to figure out what is the

674
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:45.559
<v Speaker 14>message that somehow Donald Trump.

675
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:46.719
<v Speaker 13>Was able to deliver this.

676
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:49.960
<v Speaker 14>This is almost a realignment election in terms.

677
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:51.400
<v Speaker 4>Of we're different.

678
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.199
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, so tell it. You can. You can explain that

679
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:54.880
<v Speaker 13>better than I can.

680
00:35:54.960 --> 00:36:00.119
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, please, well, the working class is becoming Republicans

681
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:03.719
<v Speaker 4>and the upper class is becoming Democrats. And the problem

682
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:06.079
<v Speaker 4>that the Republicans had a few years ago coming out

683
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.360
<v Speaker 4>of the Bush years, where that they were the upper

684
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:11.920
<v Speaker 4>class and the Democrats were the working class, and that

685
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker 4>change of what's happening in real time. But you know,

686
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:19.320
<v Speaker 4>it's happening as you watch these returns in Michigan, in Minnesota,

687
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:20.960
<v Speaker 4>and you know, I think we saw it in real

688
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.440
<v Speaker 4>time back in twenty sixteen in Ohio. When we think

689
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:29.119
<v Speaker 4>of that blue wall of Pennsylvania to Minnesota, we're forgetting

690
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:31.719
<v Speaker 4>that Ohio used to be a swing state. That's not

691
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:33.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, that's a I think we had it at

692
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:37.400
<v Speaker 4>twelve points tonight, maybe ten points. That's no longer in play.

693
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:41.239
<v Speaker 13>And the Republicans also also won a took a senencee to.

694
00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Way packed up the Senate YEP, and they're going to

695
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.960
<v Speaker 4>do the same thing out in Montana. So the question

696
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:49.599
<v Speaker 4>is can the Democrats at this point hold the House?

697
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.480
<v Speaker 4>Otherwise the Republicans could potentially walk out with all three

698
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:55.320
<v Speaker 4>chambers and have a lot of power for the next

699
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:55.880
<v Speaker 4>two years.

700
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:00.360
<v Speaker 14>So what is the message that that Trump Wasn't it

701
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:03.039
<v Speaker 14>as simple as she broke it, I'll fix it. I mean,

702
00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:04.760
<v Speaker 14>that was what he came down to at the end.

703
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:06.480
<v Speaker 14>She broke it, I'll fix it.

704
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:08.760
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no, no, it goes further back, goes back

705
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:12.679
<v Speaker 4>to NaSTA. He's back into the UH, into the into that,

706
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.440
<v Speaker 4>to that trade agreement where there's still a lot of

707
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, yeah, yeah, no, that's deep rooted, but you

708
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.679
<v Speaker 4>know he's part of that where hey, that was a mistake.

709
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:25.360
<v Speaker 4>People agree with it. And I think you saw Vance

710
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.920
<v Speaker 4>almost get it to a full boil during that vice

711
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.960
<v Speaker 4>presidential debate with Walls, where Walls ended up agreeing with

712
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:33.920
<v Speaker 4>them because you know, they were talking about experts and experts,

713
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:38.639
<v Speaker 4>and it got Walls twisted up on that argument. So

714
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:40.719
<v Speaker 4>that's where Trump has been able to make inroads with

715
00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:45.280
<v Speaker 4>that union vote, the working class, and younger voters. So

716
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:47.039
<v Speaker 4>that I think the other concern.

717
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:49.480
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, do you think it would have made a difference

718
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:55.079
<v Speaker 14>if Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris had picked Governor Shapiro of

719
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:57.039
<v Speaker 14>Pennsylvania or do you think this.

720
00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:58.599
<v Speaker 13>Was this was baked in the cake.

721
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:00.039
<v Speaker 6>No.

722
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:03.679
<v Speaker 4>I think that would have been one event that could

723
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.039
<v Speaker 4>have helped. I think there was a series of mistakes

724
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.719
<v Speaker 4>that were made on the Harris side and the communication

725
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:12.840
<v Speaker 4>front that opened up or didn't know off enough opportunities

726
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.760
<v Speaker 4>for the campaign, and she had to play for that,

727
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:20.159
<v Speaker 4>including not accepting many debates when she initially entered into

728
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:24.719
<v Speaker 4>the race. And because of that, the whole campaign kind

729
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:29.000
<v Speaker 4>of falls flat in October because there's no events, there's

730
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:32.639
<v Speaker 4>no you know, focusing events to get the country looking

731
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:36.599
<v Speaker 4>at something. And with that said, Trump was in a

732
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:39.320
<v Speaker 4>strong spot. There's a reason why Joe Biden President Biden

733
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 4>was he dropped from the race because he thought he

734
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 4>wasn't gonna win.

735
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:51.360
<v Speaker 14>Spencer, you you, you and and Dave Paleologus and and

736
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:55.400
<v Speaker 14>John Zogby are the best, simply the best, the three

737
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:55.800
<v Speaker 14>of you.

739

<v Speaker 4>for having me.

741
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:04.239
<v Speaker 14>postmarting on this sometime in the next week or so.

<v Speaker 14>Thanks so much. Spencer Kimball Emerson College poster. Extraordinary, extraordinary.

745
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:18.960
<v Speaker 14>race is not officially over yet. Stay with us.
