AND JOHNNY SITTING
DOWN WITH OUR 10 NEWS POLITICAL
EXPERT DOCTOR ED LYNCH, SHE’S
HERE TO
BREAK DOWN.
HOW THE BALANCE OF POWER COULD
SHAKE OUT AFTER TONIGHT.
>>WELL, THANK YOU RACHEL ON A
DOCTOR LYNCH, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US ONCE AGAIN, NICE FOR
INVITING ME ON ELECTION DAY AND
ELECTION
NIGHT AND IF THE POLLS ARE TO
BE BELIEVED AND EVERYBODY IS IN
FACT VOTING BECAUSE OF
INFLATION
THAT WOULD TYPICALLY MEAN A
GOOD DAY FOR THE REPUBLICANS
WHAT WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE
CHANCES THAT THE THE
HOUSE SHIFTS WHOA IS THAT
A SLAM DUNK FOR THE FOR THE
REPUBLICANS WHO THINK YES I DO
THINK THE HOUSE FLIPPING IS IS
MORE OR LESS A FOREGONE THE
REPUBLICANS ONLY NEED 5 SEATS
TO FLIP.
>>THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
BOOST ESTIMATES ARE THERE
REALLY IS CONSIDERABLY MORE
THAN THAT MAYBE AS MANY
AS 30.
SO THAT’S PRETTY MUCH WHAT
EVERYBODY IS THINKING NOW
WE’RE LOOKING SOME OF THE
SENATE IS ON YOUR SCREEN RIGHT
NOW YOU LOOK AT
THE SENATE.
THAT’S NOT AS OBVIOUS THERE’S A
LOT OF RACES THAT ARE TOO CLOSE
TO CALL.
TO CALL. THAT’S THERE ARE LOOK THERE REPUBLICANS WHO
ARE NOT UP THERE ANOTHER 20
THAT ARE EITHER SAFE SEATS OR.
>>VERY OF
PRETTY SAFE THAT LEAVES
REPUBLICANS WITH 49 THEY
NEED TO MORE THE 3 CLOSEST
RACES ARE LIKELY TO BE
GEORGIA PENNSYLVANIA AND NEVADA
REPUBLICANS TAKE 2 OUT OF THE 3
THEY HAVE THE MAJORITY.
>>AND YOU THINK THAT
WILL HAPPEN.
I DO THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN
NEVADA LOOKS PRETTY GOOD FOR
THE REPUBLICANS, ALTHOUGH IT’S
TIGHTENED UP IN THE LAST COUPLE
OF
IN GEORGIA AND
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHALLENGERS
AU’S AND WALKER HAVE BEEN
COMING ON STRONG.
WE MAY GO TO A RUNOFF IN
GEORGIA, BUT MY GUT FEELING
IS THAT THAT ONE’S GOING
THAT ONE’S GOING TO COME OUT
FOR THE REPUBLICAN WITHOUT A
RUNOFF IN GEORGIA, IT HAS TO BE
AT LEAST 50% OF THE VOTE MORE
THAN ONE THEY HAVE THE RUNOFF
SO ON WE HAVE THIS BIG RED WAVE
THEN LOOKS LIKE IT’S COMING.
>>HOW MUCH OF THAT IS OR ISN’T
BECAUSE OF
DONALD TRUMP.
I THINK DONALD TRUMP IS ONE
FACTOR, BUT I FRANKLY THINK JOE
BIDEN IS A MUCH MUCH
BIGGER FACTOR IN WHAT’S LIKELY
TO BE HAPPENING
AS AS HE’S POINTED OUT MOST OF
YOUR VIEWERS ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT INFLATION.
MOST PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTRY
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
WHAT I LIKE TO CALL THE BIG
3 ISSUES INFLATION
IMMIGRATION AND CRIME AND THEY
FAVOR REPUBLICANS RIGHTLY OR
WRONGLY, BUT THEY FAVOR
REPUBLICANS ON ALL 3 OF THOSE
ISSUES DEMOCRATS BEEN PUSHING
HARD FOR ABORTION TO CREEP UP
ON THAT LIST, BUT IT REALLY
HASN’T GOTTEN TRACTION
LIKE THE WAY THE DEMOCRATS
HAD HOPED I THINK THAT THAT HAS
BEEN A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE
MINUTE I THINK IN A IN A MORE
NORMAL SORT OF ELECTION YEAR IT
PROBABLY WOULD HAVE MADE A HUGE
DIFFERENCE BUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE HAMMERED EVERY TIME THEY GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND UPSET
EVERY TIME THEY
GET GAS.
THEN SOME OF THOSE OTHER SOCIAL
CONCERNS TEND TO FADE INTO THE
BACKGROUND, YEAH.
AND NOW LET’S TAKE A LOOK OR A
VERY LOCALLY HERE IN ROANOKE
CITY COUNCIL A LOT OF PEOPLE
OUT THERE FOR THE VOTERS TO
CHOOSE FROM RIGHT DO YOU HAVE
ANY THOUGHTS ON WHICH WAY THAT
MIGHT GO.
MIGHT GO. WELL THE REPUBLICANS IF THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE ANY
CHANCE IN THE APP AND THE
NATIONAL ATMOSPHERE GIVES THEM
A BETTER CHANCE THAN THEY MIGHT
HAVE OTHERWISE IN A VERY VERY
DEMOCRATIC CITY.
BUT THEY REALLY HAVE TO
TAKE ISSUES LIKE CRIME
AND INFLATION AND MAKE THEM THE
THE
CENTRAL ISSUES IN THE IN THE
CAMPAIGN HERE IN
ROANOKE CITY.
THAT’S OF REALLY REALLY TOUGH
HILL TO LAW OF AVERAGES THE
REPUBLICANS MIGHT GET
ONE OR DAVID BOWERS AS ANOANOKE
BUT I KIND OF DOUBT IT
OKAY SO
WHEN DO YOU THINK WILL HAVE
SOME IDEA HOW THE SENATE IS
GOING TO GO AS THINGS START TO
COME IN TIME BECAUSE.
>>THOSE CLOSE RACES WHICH COULD
COULD TURN THE SENATE.
I FEEL TO ME LIKE WE MAY NOT KNOW AND THAT NIGHT WE MAY NOT KNOW AT 6 O’CLOCK TOMORROW
MORNING THAT’S
ENTIRELY POSSIBLE.
>>BUT YOU KNOW ONE OF THE SORT
OF SLEEP ARE RACES FOR THE
REPUBLICANS AS NEW HAMPSHIRE,
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE
SENATE RACE, NEW HAMPSHIRE
CLOSES FAIRLY EARLY AND THEY
TEND TO REPORT PRETTY QUICKLY,
ALTHOUGH THEY’VE HAD
MASSIVE TURNOUT IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
SO IF THE REPUBLICANS TAKE THE
NEW HAMPSHIRE SEAT
WE’LL KNOW THAT THE REPUBLICANS
ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY GOING TO
TAKE OVER THE SENATE AND THAT’S
NOT ONE OF THE ONES THAT
EVERYBODY IS WATCHING THAT’S
NOT SOMETHING THAT THAT IS IN
PLAY THAT’S RIGHT THAT’S RIGHT.
IT’S A SORT OF IN THE HUNT AS
THEY SAY IN THE IN THE
SPORTS WORLD.
>>BUT AGAIN IF THE REPUBLICANS
TAKE THAT WHICH THEY WEREN’T EXPECTED TO GET UNTIL VERY RECENTLY THAN THE ONES WHERE
THEY HAD A BETTER CHANCE ARE
LIKELY TO GO THEIR WAY
AS WELL OK DOCTOR ED LYNCH,
THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THE
DOCTOR LYNCH WILL BE HERE.
