THEY LOST PAUL RYAN’S SEAT APPARENTLY.
APPARENTLY. LET ME DOUBLE CHECK THAT.
>> THEY LOST PAUL RYAN’S SEAT.
WISCONSIN --
WISCONSIN -- >> WE HEAD NO HEAD BACK TO
MISSOURI.
MISSOURI. CLAIRE McCASKILL IS SPEAKING TO
HER SUPPORTERS RIGHT NOW.
>> SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT WHAT
HAS HAPPENED TODAY AND HOW THE
FUTURE IS BRIGHTER THAN WE ALL
THINK IT IS RIGHT NOW.
WE HAD SOME GOOD RESULTS
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. THE DEMOCRATS TOOK THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES.
REPRESENTATIVES. WE HAVE GOVERNORS THAT ARE
DEMOCRATS NOW BOTH ILLINOIS AND
KANSAS.
KANSAS. SO THERE WERE SOME BRIGHT SPOTS.
OBVIOUSLY, WE FELL SHORT AND
THAT’S DISAPPOINTING.
THAT’S DISAPPOINTING. NOT FOR ME.
WHAT I FEEL THE MOST PAIN ABOUT
TONIGHT ARE ALL OF THE PEOPLE
WHO FOR THE FIRST TIME, MANY OF
THEM IN THEIR LIVES SAID I AM
GOING TO DO MORE THAN JUST
SITTING ON THE COUCH AND CUSS AT
THE TV.
THE TV. I AM GOING TO SHOW UP.
I AM GOING TO WORK HARD AND FOR
THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO
VOLUNTEERED ON THIS CAMPAIGN,
THERE WERE LITERALLY THOUSANDS
AND THOUSANDS OF YOU, I AM SO
GRATEFUL AND I WANT YOU TO KEEP
THAT FIRE BURNING BECAUSE THERE
IS JUSTICE AROUND THE CORNER.
>> CLAIRE McCASKILL AT A
CONCESSION SPEECH TO HER
SUPPORTERS.
SUPPORTERS. NBC NEWS PROJECTS THAT HOLLY HAW
WILL WIN.
WILL WIN. HE’S SPEAKING RIGHT NOW.
>> THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BUILT
THIS STATE AND I WILL -- YOU
KNOW THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN, I
FOUGHT MANY TIMES OF A LINE THAT
PRIME MINISTER CHURCHILL SAID
DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, WHY
IS THAT WE THINK OF HISTORY AS
SOMETHING IN THE PAST AND FORGET
THAT WE ARE MAKING IT.
WELL, WE STAND TONIGHT AT A
CRITICAL MOMENT IN OUR HISTORY.
WE STAND AT THIS HOUR IN OUR
NATION’S HISTORY.
NATION’S HISTORY. THE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI HAVE SAID
WE ARE UP TO THE CHALLENGE.
THE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI HAVE SAID
WE ARE READY TO ANSWER THE CALL.
TONIGHT WE SAY WE BELIEVE IN
AMERICA AND OUR BEST DAYS ARE
AHEAD AND WE BELIEVE IN OUR
FUTURE AND READY TO FIGHT FOR
IT.
IT. I AM READY TO GO TO WASHINGTON
AND FIGHT FOR YOU.
>> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. THANK YOU FIRST AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY TO MY WIFE, ERIN,
WHO’S HERE WITH ME, SHE’S THE
LOVE OF MY LIFE.
SHE’S THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.
JOSH HAWLEY PROJECTED TO DEFEAT
CLAIRE McCASKILL WHO WE SAW
MOMENTS AGO DELIVERING HER OWN
CONCESSION SPEECH.
CONCESSION SPEECH. THAT’S A BIG ONE.
>> CLAIRE McCASKILL PULLED
RABBITS OUT OF HER HAT BEFORE.
SHE DID IT.
SHE BASICALLY PUT MONEY BEHIND
TODD AIKEN TO GET HIM THE
NOMINATION BECAUSE HE HAD
EXTREME VIEWS ON THE ISSUES OF
ABORTION AND SHE WAS ABLE TO WIN
AND WITH THE HELP OF BARACK
OBAMA AND THIS YEAR IS NOT
THERE.
THERE. UT
UT I WAS OUT IN MISSOURI A COUPLE
OF WEEKS AGO CHECKING ON THAT
RACE.
RACE. IT WAS INTERESTING TALKING TO
TEAM McCASKILL, UNEQUIVOCALLY,
THEY WOULD SAID IT AND I COULD
TELL YOU THERE IS PERSONAL
ANEMIST AMONG SOME OF THESE.
TWO OF THEM HAVE LOST, CONNELLY
AND McCASKILL.
AND McCASKILL. >> McCASKILL WILL TALK MORE.
