ALYST RICKULLANEY BREAKS DO COUNTDOWN TO ELECTION DAY
CONTINUES IN FLORIDA IS
EXPECTED TO PLAY A BIG ROLE IN
THE
PRESIDENTIAL RACE. THAT’S NOT
THE ONLY RACE TO KEEP AN EYE ON
NEWSFOURJAX POLITICAL ANALYST
RICK MULLANEY JOINS ME RIGHT
NOW GOOD
MORNING MORNING. BOTH
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES HAVE
BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
HERE IN FLORIDA,
WHAT ROLE DOES THE SUNSHINE
STATE PLAY FOR EACH CANDIDATE
HEADING
INTO TUESDAY.
>> CLEARLY THE EYES OF THE
NATION ARE GOING TO BE ON
FLORIDA BECAUSE THE ROLE IS IT
COULD DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF
THE ELECTION.
AS YOU LOOK TO THE 6 BIG STATES
THAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO
FLORIDA WHICH IS WHERE EVERYONE
WILL BE LOOKING. IT IS 29
ELECTORAL VOTES. THE BIG PRIZE
IT HAS A HISTORY OF BEING VERY
CLOSE RACES AND FOR JOE BIDEN IF HE WERE TO WIN FLORIDA. HE WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT
UNITED STATES. IF DONALD TRUMP
IF HE WINS FLORIDA THAT TAKES
HIM A MAJOR STEP DOWN A PATHWAY
OF WINNING THE PRESIDENCY,
CURRENTLY IT’S BEEN TRENDING
TRUMP A BIT JOE BIDEN HAS HAD
LITTLE THE LEAD
DON’T BE SURPRISED TO SEE
DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY WIN
FLORIDA AND ON ELECTION NIGHT.
WE’LL HAVE THOSE RESULTS KEEP
YOUR EYES ON FLORIDA, THE REST
OF THE NATION WILL
BE WATCHING.
>>JENNIFER READY: AND CLEARLY
FLORIDA IS VERY IMPORTANT AS WE
JUST HEARD BUT THERE ARE OTHER
STATES AS YOU MENTIONED THAT
ARE ALSO EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT
WE’RE SEEING
THEM SPEND A LOT OF TIME SOME
OF THOSE OTHER BATTLEGROUND
STATES TODAY, JOE BIDEN WILL BE
IN MICHIGAN AND THE PRESIDENT
IS EXPECTED TO BE
IN PENNSYLVANIA. WHAT CAN WE
EXPECT FROM THE OTHER SWING
STATES
AS WELL.
>> WELL THE SWING STATES IN
GENERAL PEOPLE LOOK AT 6 OF
THEM 3 IN THE SOUTH AND 3 IN
THE MIDWEST. THE 3 IN THE SOUTH
OF FLORIDA, NORTH CAROLINA
AND ARIZONA. THE 3 IN THE
MIDWEST OR THE WHAT THEY CALLED
THE BIG BLUE WALL WHICH IS
PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN AND
WISCONSIN. FOR THE OTHER 2 IN
THE SOUTH NORTH CAROLINA
AND ARIZONA. THOSE ARE VERY
MUCH WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR
FOR DONALD TRUMP IN
NORTH CAROLINA, DONALD TRUMP IS
TRAILING A BIT
IN ARIZONA FOR THE FIRST TIME
IT IS NOW A DEAD HEAT IT IS
TIED IF DONALD TRUMP WERE TO
WIN FLORIDA NORTH CAROLINA
AND ARIZONA. WE TURN TO THE
THOSE BET THAT BIG BLUE WALL
THOSE 3 STATES AND THAT COULD
DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF THE
ELECTION IN MICHIGAN, DONALD
TRUMP WON LAST TIME BY 10,000
VOTES. THIS TIME AROUND IT
APPEARS TO BE A VERY
SUBSTANTIALLY FOR JOE BIDEN
OUTSIDE THE MARGIN OF ERROR THE
EXPECTATION IS JOE BIDEN WILL
WIN MICHIGAN. THE SAME IN
WISCONSIN AGAIN CLOSE LAST TIME
VICTORY FOR DONALD TRUMP.
THIS TIME POLLING SUGGESTS JOE
BIDEN IF ALL OF THIS PLAYS OUT
IN THIS WAY IT COULD ALL COME
DOWN TO PENNSYLVANIA AND JOE
BIDEN WERE TO WIN PENNSYLVANIA.
HE BECOMES PRESIDENT.
IF DONALD TRUMP WINS
PENNSYLVANIA, HE BECOMES
PRESIDENT BASED ON THOSE OTHERS
GOING IN THAT DIRECTION IN
PENNSYLVANIA. THE POLLING,
CURRENTLY FAVORS JOE BIDEN A
LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE THE MARGIN
OF ERROR BUT DON’T BE SURPRISED
ON ELECTION NIGHT THERE IS SUCH
A THING IS A HIDDEN TRUMP VOTE
THAT DOESN’T SHOW UP IN THE
POLLS AND THAT’S WHY WE HAVE TO
WAKE UP TO ALL THE BALLOTS
ARE COUNTED.
>>JENNIFER READY: AND REAGAN A
LOT OF PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WE
ARE SEEING RECORD TURNOUT FOR
EARLY VOTING. HOW IMPORTANT
WITH THAT BEING SAID ARE THESE
NEXT FEW DAYS FOR
BOTH CANDIDATES.
>> IT’S IT’S CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT IS IT’S JUST BEEN THE
NUMBERS ARE REALLY REALLY BIG
AND SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND
WITH THOSE BIG NUMBERS IN
PENNSYLVANIA FOR EXAMPLE, THEY
WON’T BE ABLE TO COUNT THAT
EARLY VOTING BY MAIL
UNTIL ELECTION DAY THE SAME IS
TRUE FOR MICHIGAN AND THE SAME
IS TRUE FOR WISCONSIN,
HOWEVER THEY ARE COUNTING THEM
IN FLORIDA IN NORTH CAROLINA
AND ARIZONA. SO YOU’RE SEEING
RECORD NUMBERS AT RECORD
TURNOUT. BUT YOU’RE GOING TO
HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE ON
ELECTION NIGHT. BUT REMEMBER
THOSE 3 STATES THAT I MENTIONED
FLORIDA ARIZONA, NORTH CAROLINA
YOU’RE GOING ABOUT THOSE EARLY
THE OTHERS WE’LL HAVE TO
WAIT ON.
>>JENNIFER READY: AND THERE ARE
SOME OTHER KEY RACES TO LOOK
OUT FOR CAN YOU BREAK DOWN SOME
OF THE U.S. SENATE RACES FOR
US.
>> VERY
VERY IMPORTANT. CURRENTLY THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE A 53 TO 47
MAJORITY NEXT TUESDAY, 35
SENATE SEATS ARE UP WILL
BE CONTESTED 23 OF THOSE IN
WHICH REPUBLICANS ARE THE
INCUMBENT 12 OF THOSE IN WHICH
DEMOCRATS OF THE INCUMBENT, YOU
CAN EXPECT THAT THE REPUBLICANS
WILL WIN ALABAMA. DOUG JONES
SEAT THEY WILL THEN BE UP BY 4.
AND THE QUESTION IS CAN THE
DEMOCRATS WIN FOR SEATS IN THE
ANSWER TO THAT IS YES CAN THEY
WIN 4 OR MORE
ALREADY. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
SIGNIFICANT LEADS IN COLORADO.
THEY’RE LEADING IN ARIZONA
WE’RE LEADING
IN MAY AND THEIR LOVER LOT OF
OTHER STATES THAT ARE TOSS-UP
SUCH AS
2 IN GEORGIA. ONE IN NORTH
CAROLINA KEEP YOUR EYE ON ON
MONTANA. THIS IS ONE THAT IS
VERY CONSEQUENTIAL PEOPLE OF
COURSE FOCUS ON THE PRESIDENCY,
BUT THE SENATE SHOULD BE A
MAJOR FOCUS IT IS UP FOR GRABS.
AND CLEARLY THE DEMOCRATS HEAVY
VERY REALISTIC SHOT IF NOT A
PROBABILITY OF GETTING A
MAJORITY IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.
