President Clinton Campaigns for Congressional Democrats; Face Backlash

President Clinton returned to the campaign, stumping for her party's candidates across the country, but as her approval rating continues to tank many Democrats are running away from the President over fear her presence will jeopardize their own chances. While speaking at a rally in Florida for Gubernatorial Candidate Gwen Graham, protests interrupted the President multiple times; echoing chants of 'lock her up'. The protesters were removed from the auditorium, but the incident reportedly left the President flustered.

Sources: Clinton 'exhausted' and frustrated'

The White House continues to deny leak from unnamed sources who claim the President is exhausted over political gridlock on Capitol Hill, as well as from the day to day rigors of the job. Clinton is also said to be frustrated over a 'lack of accomplishments'. Her administration had hoped to tackle immigration reform prior to the midterms, but now with a Republican wave building all hopes looked to be dashed.

A long time political observer noted, President Clinton 'has all the markings of a one-term President.' Despite, the relatively strong economy the President has succeed in achieving any significant milestones in terms of legislation or policy. 'The window is closing for her to shape an already crumbling legacy.'

Trump sounds off on Clinton with a Tweet

Continuing to fuel speculation he may seek the Presidency, again in 2020, Donald Trump blasted the President over the alleged 'leak' suggesting President Clinton is tired and frustrated. Trump used the incident to question the President's stamina and ability to successfully do the job. The White House offered no comment.

Bad Day on Wall Street; as Markets Continue to Tumble

The increasingly bleak picture on Wall Street has investors white knuckled the US may be heading for another recession. The White House has suggested a stimulus package, not quite the size of the one passed in 2009; as well as for the Fed to halt the idea of raising interest rates.

When will election night be?

[NHI]

When will election night be?

Hope to have it up before the holiday weekend is out.

[NHI]

Election Night: 2018

Pres. Clinton casts her vote in New York. "I hope all Americans get out and vote today." The midterm elections are largely seen as a referendum on President Clinton, and her lack of legislative accomplishment.

Battle for the U.S. Senate

Republicans:
Democrats:

Blitzer: One of the first races we are watching closely tonight is the Senate Race in Indiana. Former Governor and 2016 Vice Presidential nominee Mike Pence is looking to beat Democrat Joe Donnelly. It what has become the most expensive Senate Race in US history, Republicans are feeling bullish about Pence's chances.

IN: Senate <1%

Mike Pence: 55.76%

Joe Donnelly: 44.10%

Blitzer: We do have another race Virginia. Senator Bobby Scott is running for a full term against Republican pundit and talk show host Laura Ingraham. Scott, was first appointed by then Governor Terry McAuliffe after Tim Kaine became President. Scott, then narrowly won a special election over Republican Ken Cuccinelli. Tonight, we are watching a very competitive race, with Ingraham doing better than expected; this after an especially bruising Republican primary where Ingraham defeated Representative Barbara Comstock.

Tapper: This seat was largely brushed off by the national Republicans, with many not seeing Ingraham as a strong candidate, but tonight looking at the numbers, perhaps Republicans made a mistake.

VA: Senate 2% Reported

Bobby Scott: 49.79%

Laura Ingraham: 47.91%

Blitzer: CNN can make one projection already tonight. In West Virginia, we project Senator Joe Manchin will retain his seat. He defeats Republican Evan Jenkins; this coming after an especially close primary for Senator Manchin, but tonight he easily defeats his Republican opponent.

WV: 20% Reported

✓ Joe Manchin: 57.59%

Evan Jenkins: 40.00%

Blitzer: CNN can also project in the battle for the House, in Virginia's 10th Congressional District, Representative Barbara Comstock will win reelection, defeating Democrat Kimberly Adam. 53.04% to 44.09%.

Tapper: Another race we are continuing to watch is in New Hampshire, where incumbent Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter is trying to fend off a challenge from Republican and former party vice chairman in the state Matt Mayberry. This is considered a tossup state for either party, with it trading hands back and forth over the last eight years. Tonight, Shea-Porter is narrowly ahead, but it is still close.

Mayberry won the Republican nomination after a bruising fight between State Senator Andy Sanborn and former Liquor Commissioner Eddie Edwards.

NH CD 1: 5% Reporting

Carol Shea-Porter: 48.66%

Matt Mayberry: 46.97%

Blitzer: We can project that in New Hampshire's Second Congressional District, incumbent Ann Kuster will be reelected over Republican nominee Jack Flannigan. 52.05% to 43.99%
 

[NHI]

Blitzer: ...and CNN can now project Senator Elizabeth Warren will win reelection. She defeats her Republican challenger Geoff Diehl.

King: A long shot seat for Republicans, and they were hopeful and tried to make her race a national one, but Senator Warren manages to still win reelection.

MA Senate: 45% Reported

✓ Elizabeth Warren: 54.96%

Geoff Diehl: 45.01%

Blitzer: CNN can also project incumbent Senator Angus King will defeat outgoing Governor of Maine Paul LePage in a hotly contested and bitter race.

MA Senate: 39% Reported

✓ Angus King: 49.66%

Paul LePage: 32.91%
Eric Brakey: 18.43%

Blitzer: Another call to make. Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin will defeat Republican candidate Sheriff David Clarke.

WI: Senate: 25% Reported

✓ Tammy Baldwin: 55.06%

David Clarke: 42.98%

King: Here is the state of play at this hour. Pretty much going as we expected Wolf. Still, the battle for who will control the US Senate and thus the Congress, will be determined in the races where we have yet to project a winner, Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio.

FL Senate: 37% Reported

Ben Nelson: 51.99%

Rick Scott: 47.77%

OH Senate: 49% Reported

Josh Mandel: 50.01%

Sherrod Brown: 48.54%

MO Senate: 51% Reported

Carl Edwards: 51.01%

Claire McCaskill: 48.77%

TX Senate: 31% Reported

Ted Cruz: 53.59%
Beto O'Rouke: 45.79%

PA Senate: 48% Reported

Bob Casey: 52.05%

Rick Saccone: 45.99%

VA Senate: 57% Reported

Bobby Scott: 49.26%

Laura Ingraham: 48.91%

Blitzer: CNN does have another projection to make and it is a big one. In the state of Indiana, we project Former Governor Mike Pence will defeat Senator Joe Donnelly. Mike Pence wins the seat, giving the Republicans so far a net gain of one for tonight.

IN Senate: 55% Reported (R+1)

✓  Mike Pence: 54.92%
Joe Donnelly: 44.91%

Blitzer: Another call to make in Texas. CNN can project Senator Ted Cruz will win reelection.

Republicans: +1
Democrats:

Gubernatorial Results:

Blitzer: We are watching a few hotly contested Gubernatorial Elections across the country. So far the results have been going as expected. We are able to make a call in New Hampshire. CNN can now project Governor Chris Sununu will win reelection and defeat his Democratic challenger.

NH Gov: 56% Reported

✓ Chris Sununu: 51.05%
Andru Volinsky: 47.10%

Blitzer: Another race we continue to watch is in Connecticut where former Florida Congressman and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is trying to defeat Democrat Dan Drew. Mr. Scarborough holds a narrow lead at the current count. In this election the unpopularity of incumbent Governor Dan Malloy, who Scarborough has tied Mr. Drew too seems to be paying off.

CT: Gov: 59% Reported

Joe Scarborough: 50.50%
Dan Drew: 48.90%

[Lord Admirale]

I'm surprised Bob Menendez won reelection. If Hillary was POTUS, 2018 could've been Tom Kean Jr.'s time to shine.

Illinois isn't called yet, slightly worried.

[NHI]

CNN Projection: Bruce Rauer Wins Reelection

✓ Bruce Rauer: 52.01%
 Lisa Madigan: 46.50%

Blitzer: Governor Rauer, despite a state on the verge of economic collapse, has been reelected defeating his Democratic opponent State Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

NH Congressional Race: Inc. Carol Shea-Porter wins Reelection

Blitzer: Another seat Republicans hoped they could compete for, remains in the Democratic column tonight. Longtime incumbent Carol Shea-Porter wins reelection over her challenger Matt Mayberry, the former Vice Chair of the State Party.

CNN has projected Republicans will remain in control of the House of Representatives, but control for the US Senate remains up for grabs. We are still watching a few crucial seats including the Senate race in Ohio where Senator Sherrod Brown is trying to hold on, and in Virginia, where an unexpectedly close race has taken place between Senator Bobby Scott, the Democratic Candidate and Republican candidate Laura Ingraham.

FL SEN: 66% Reported (D HOLD)

✓ Bill Nelson: 52%
Rick Scott: 47%

Tapper: And CNN can now project Senator Ben Nelson will win reelection, defeating Governor Rick Scott in one of the most expensive Senate races in history and the most expensive race in Florida's history.

Blitzer: And we have a major projection to make at this time. In Missouri, CNN is now calling the race for Carl Edwards, he defeats Senator Claire McCaskill. We have just learned she has called Mr. Edwards and conceded the race and is now on stage addressing supporters.

Sen. McCaskill Speaks to Supporters; Concedes to Carl Edwards.

Breaking News: Control of the Senate Decided

Blitzer: CNN can now project Republicans will win back control of the United States Senate. The defeat of Claire McCaskill in Missouri and now CNN's projection that Josh Mandel will defeat Sherrod Brown in Ohio -- this gives Republicans the numbers they need to win back the Senate.

OH SEN: 77% Reported (R+3)

✓ Josh Mandel: 50.99%
Sherrod Brown: 48.00%

Republicans: +3

Democrats: +0

CNN: Polling on 2020 Race

Blitzer: As we wait for more results to come in we do have some interesting polling conducted at various polling places across the country and it has to do with the 2020 race. If the election were held today and the candidates were Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, the President would win reelection, but by a much narrower margin.

Hillary Clinton: 47%
Donald Trump: 45%

[Cactus Jack]

Excellent stuff. It really says something about the Senate map in 2018 that the midterm results here, under an incumbent Clinton, aren't that much worse than what it looks like they'll be in real life, under an incumbent Trump.

GOP Increases Margin in House: 253-182

President Clinton's Popularity Hits 39%.

Pres. Clinton faces a new political reality after Republicans Win Back Congress

In her first press conference since the election, President Clinton called on both parties to 'find common ground', and called the results from the midterm 'a wake up call, that I hear and I hope Congress hears too.' The President reiterated her earlier commitment to work with Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, on 'areas of agreements' including tax reform and 'hopefully immigration'. Republicans have continuously rebuffed the President, and in a post-election press conference Ryan dismissed the idea of bipartisan cooperation, calling the election 'a clear referendum on President Clinton and her out of touch agenda."

Though it is not just Republicans attacking Clinton. She has received jabs from her own party. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who is reportedly considering a run against Clinton in the 2020 Democratic Primary, blasted the President for her conciliatory nature towards Republicans and said on CBS' Face the Nation; "she is bending over backwards to accommodate Republicans, and forgetting the very people who elected her and expected her to deliver." The White House offered no comment to Gabbard's remarks.

Donald Trump Flirts with 2020 Bid in a Tweet

Mayor Trumps Rules himself out for 2020; Hopes Dad "will run again"

Mayor Donald Trump, Jr, who said he briefly thought about challenging President Clinton in the 2020 election, said running for President 'is out of the cards for him'. He did hold out hope his father will try again, saying 'the country has seen what a disaster [Pres. Clinton] she has been for America.
 I think my father would easily beat her... I hope he will run again." Donald Sr, has made no announcement, or timetable on a 2020 bid.

2020: Rematch?

Clinton: 48%

Trump: 44%

Despite losing to Hillary Clinton in 2016, a new poll finds Donald Trump could be competitive against the President should he run in 2020. The CNN/ORC polls finds Trump only losing to Clinton by four points.

I fell like Trump will run again and just like Dewey win the nominaton again...

Have Rubio or Cruz win the Primary and Trump be the VP candidate.

Once again Rand Paul 2020

[NHI]

Rand Paul 'weighing all options for 2020'

Senator Rand Paul is reportedly considering a run for President in 2020, as either a Republican - or Libertarian. Paul, who dropped out early in 2016, after a poor showing in the early contests has expressed his frustration over a 'lack of true Republicanism' in the GOP, and criticized both parties for 'being pretty much two sides of the same coin'. Paul, who's libertarian streak puts him at odds with many in the GOP has received some encouragement from a few of fellow Republicans, including Michigan Congressman Justin Amash, who called Paul 'a true leader, who is principled'. Paul, said he will make a decision about 2020 in early 2019.

First into the Ring Again: Ted Cruz Makes it Official on 2020

February 2019: Senator Ted Cruz announced his candidacy for President, saying to a crowd of supporters in Des Moines, Iowa he will seek the Republican nomination again in 2020. Cruz, who finished second to Donald Trump in the primary, said 'the time has come for a real conservative who can draw clear and bold distinctions with President Clinton!'. Cruz, who recently won reelection to the Senate had been plotting a second White House bid since Donald Trump's defeat to Hillary Clinton. Cruz, who struggled to unite Evangelical Christians around his candidacy, in part because of Trump, is hoping now a field sans Trump will make him the clear favorite.

By getting in even earlier than he did four years many pundits see him as trying to block out potential candidates Senator Mike Pence and Senator Tom Cotton, both whom would be making big plays for Iowa. The other detail, by announcing his campaign in Iowa, Cruz is seen as placing his entire candidacy on winning again the Iowa Caucuses. Current polls show him running second or third place nationally; depending on the inclusions of Donald Trump in the polling sample.

In head to head matchups with Clinton, the President defeats Cruz - 44% to 41%.

Tulsi Gabbard Likely to Run for President

Tulsi Gabbard. The Hawaii Congresswoman, who supported Bernie Sanders in 2016, and has been an outspoken critic of President Clinton, seems to be drawing closer to announcing a run for President in 2020. Gabbard has been meeting with campaign affiliates in both Iowa and New Hampshire, and continues to draw on the large network of Bernie Sanders. A favorite among the progressive base Gabbard has been making waves since Clinton's Inauguration;
 blasting the President for capitulating to Democrats and failing to live up to her campaign platform.
 Most recently, Gabbard said she has been 'greatly disappointed' by Hillary Clinton's Presidency, and has called it 'a missed opportunity to deliver the bold change the country desperately wants and needs'.

Democrats are already white knuckled at the prospects of a Democratic primary, fearing a divided party will only help the Republicans win in 2020. DNC Chair Tom Perez said of a hypothetical primary for President Clinton, "I want it to be about ideas and not personal attacks, because that doesn't help anyone." The last President to face a challenge from his own party was George H.W. Bush in 1992 from conservative firebrand and commentator Pat Buchanan. Bush, of course won the nomination, but went on to lose to Bill Clinton in the fall election.

Current polls show President Clinton as the top choice among Democrats: 67% favor Clinton, versus 8% for Gabbard.
