I want to go to John King he's with me over here at the magic wall I understand we have
some breaking news in Nevada right now with these new numbers we'll come back
to that important information from kyung in a minute but look at this
look at this the senate race in Nevada is now less than 800 vote lead for the Republican candidate
Adam Blackson dramatic shift that is a dramatic shift and here's why let me pull these down we
just got some new votes in from Clark County let me pull this down Clark County is where
Las Vegas is the suburbs around it is by far the largest county in the state more than 60
percent of the vote is there and look what just happened the new vote reports 17 150 votes for
the incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez masto 8 960 votes for Adam locksalt look at the look at
the percentages 63 percent of these new votes for the incumbent Democratic senator just a third of
the votes for the Republican Challenger and so that's why this just happened and this has been
the dynamic this is the dynamic in this race most of the outstanding ballots let me move this up a
little bit most of the outstanding ballots are here in Clark County it is the largest county in
the state there we go it's the largest county in the state and she has now in Clark County
open to 52 to 45 percentage point lead look at the Statewide numbers here all right it's
48 to 48 this is a tie right 48.5 to 48.4 800 votes a little just shy of that so if you pop
up Clark County this is where the largest number of outstanding votes are still and she needs to
do this this is what she needs to do to catch up and if you look at this latest installment
she's exceeding that right if if she's getting 52 53 55 percent of the votes in Clark County
she has a very good probability of catching up in this race and in this latest installment
she's getting 63 percent and so if you're in the Democratic campaign quarters that's what you're
thinking you know David challenge our Battleground people are running this math all the time trying
to figure out what is the remaining percentage but that is above what Catherine Cortez masto
needs needed coming into the day and so this is a dramatic again you're looking there just in
Clark County you pull it out here that tells you everything you need to know this is an amazing
Senate Battleground and if the Democrat can pull ahead in Nevada and if the Democrat holds the
lead in Arizona then the Democrats can keep their majority right there if they can win both these
races if capital I capital F we're not there yet but if they can win both of these races then the
Georgia runoff on December 6th is for the margin in the United States Senate it's not for the
majority and that would make a huge difference because if it's 50 50 as the current Senate is
50 50 the Democrats are the majority because the vice president of the United States Kamala Harris
could break the tie she's the president of the Senate right so here's where we are right now in
terms of who's leading in the races it's a 50-50 Senate right now right but let's do this called
races right the Republicans have 49 the Democrats have 48 right if Mark Kelly holds on here that's
49 for the Democrats if Cortez masto comes back here she's still down just about 800 votes but
if we get more votes out if we get more if she wins and he wins that gets the Democrats to 50.
that's all they need as you noted because of the vice president and then Georgia on December 6th
again would be about did the Democrats get 51 or is it 50 50 again as it is now and so this is the
comeback of Cortez masto in these new results in Nevada is giant it is Giant and it affects
the consequences and the balance of power in the United States Senate I just want to come back to
it one more time this is a race we were looking at last night you know that it was it was a couple
thousand this has never been a blowout for Adam black salt by any means even as the counts come in
but now you have this trend and see washu County up here Washoe County Reno and to the north uh it
is still blue too that's the swing County it's a much smaller County it's about 15 percent of the
Statewide population but if you're running it up here and that stays Blue the incumbent Democrat
Catherine Cortez masto has more than more than a possibility of coming back if the numbers keep
coming in at 60 or more she has a likelihood but we need more votes you know I was checking just
a little while ago before seven o'clock Eastern Adam laxalt had a lead of about 9 000 votes it's
now 798. what a dramatic shift that has been because of these new numbers coming in right
17 150 to 8960 63 to 40 63 to 39 that that'll do it that'll do it right there 63 32 I should say
