okay for more on this let's bring in
former white house chief of staff mark
meadows great to have you here uh so
let's start with pennsylvania then we do
of course want to get to your home state
of north carolina uh this race too close
to call at the moment your initial
reactions this morning
well i'm like you dana and bill uh had a
very late night or early morning more
accurately and and you're right all of
the nation is focused on pennsylvania
we started to see the trends at about 11
o'clock last night switch for dr oz and
what we do know is is that those
remaining votes as bill was just
pointing out uh in some of those
counties if you look at a percentage
they send tend to favor dr oz
and yet it is way too close to call and
and i would i would agree that uh if
you've got 22 000 uh uh mail-in ballots
uh the operation that mccormick had
early on was good i can't tell you this
though uh uh
the the ultimate victor last night
across the country was was donald trump
i got a uh contacted last night and
again this morning by two different
candidates saying how do i get the
endorsement from donald trump because it
is magic uh especially in this
particular case where mccormick outspent
dr oz two to one uh what happened in
your former district then sir um
congressional district 11 in north
carolina uh madison cawthron was induced
uh endorsed rather by the former
president he lost
how come
he did you know obviously there's two
things that happened uh certainly
millions of dollars that were spent
against uh congressman cawthorne but the
other thing you know you're good about
digging into the details there bill one
of the details that was grossly
overlooked in the 11th congressional
district of north carolina is state
senator edwards chuck edwards his home
state uh senate district overlapped
where madison had to do well in both in
buncombe and henderson county and so
what you saw is local politics at a very
local level
playing out but the big news was ted
budd winning with almost 60 percent
against a former governor of the state
and beau heinz another trump and dorsey
in congressional seat
13 both of them going on to victory
relatively easy the ted bud win was
early i mean that race was called so
early he was on laura ingram's show last
night let's listen here
democrats here in north carolina realize
that their party has long since left
them i look forward to reaching out to
those that haven't become uh far left
and i want to ask them to support me
maybe it's there's still some reagan
democrats here the unaffiliated the
republicans we have to unite actually
the republicans need to unite
so
mccrory thought that he had a way to win
here but i mean he got trounced
yeah it wasn't even close dana and and
part of that is uh
congressman bud ran a great race the
other is is never underestimate uh
uh the power of of a trump endorsement
uh which which not only propelled him to
victory but the biggest thing and
congressman bud said it uh many of the
democrats the democrats of our our
parents and maybe our grandparents uh
they're disappearing you're seeing it in
new york where you've got progressives
running against a race that hasn't been
called that i know you you guys will
focus on oregon congressional district
number five where you got a moderate
democrat being outpaced by a very
progressive candidate a sitting member
being beaten by a challenger there i
think woke democrats are the the uh you
know that the title of the day but it is
leaving uh main street america all alone
and we'll have ronna mcdaniel on a
little bit later in this show to talk
about that and the trends that she saw
from last night that could advantage
republicans in the midterms as well
great to have you sir thank you sir mark
meadows with his instinct
thank you you bet thank you a lot to be
decided to here as well
