Democrats In Red States Get Last Minute Surge Before Midterms - Duration: 3:56.
Well, here we are, folks.
At this point, we are now just a few days away from what may be the most consequential
midterm elections of our lifetimes.
And, with a few days left to go, Democratic candidates in solidly red states have actually
seen a bump in the polls, giving a little bit more hope to be fact that Democrats might
actually win back the Senate.
Now, the House of Representatives, at this point, is the Democrats to lose.
And that's mostly speaking just from historical comparisons.
It is likely, based on history alone, that the Democrats would be the ones to win the
House of Representatives.
But the Senate has been more of a tossup.
After all, the Democrats have more people up for reelection than the Republicans.
So, it's more difficult for them to take back the Senate when they actually have to defend
more seats than they get to challenge.
But nonetheless, in several very tight races in Arizona and Texas, Democrats in this last
less than a week now before the election, have seen massive bumps to their poll numbers.
In fact in Arizona, the Democrat has now actually taken the lead.
The poll numbers flipped from where they were just a couple weeks ago.
And in the state of Texas, the polling averages show Beto O'Rourke with five points of Republican
Ted Cruz.
Now, I believe that 538 only gives the Democrat, I think, less than a 10% chance of taking
back the Senate.
And I think 10% might be a little generous.
Republicans are still actually favored to win those two elections, Arizona and Texas.
But what we're seeing with the way these races have been close in areas where they should
not have been closed, these should have been blowout elections by both Republicans, especially
Ted Cruz.
All right, this is a guy who actually is fairly liked by Republicans, some of them, at least
down in Texas.
The rest of the world, not so much.
But this should have been a blowout for him.
And instead, he's fighting for his life right now.
So, even if these Republicans win, it is not a defeat for the Democratic Party or for Democratic
Progressive ideals.
And that needs to be the big take away.
And I'm not trying to go ahead and give a concession speech because I think we're gonna
lose the Senate.
I would love to see us do that.
But I also don't want to see people walking around dejected, thinking that we just lost
big time, and we got another six years of Cruz and these other idiots, or that, "Oh,
there's nothing we can do to stop Donald Trump now."
That's not true.
The amount of people that we have seen energized, mobilized, and even early voting so far in
these midterms has been spectacular.
We need to increase voter turnout, not just this year, but every year.
We have to get to those 70, 80, 90% numbers of voter turnout here in the United States.
And if we keep up the energy, if we keep up the mobilization and the get out the vote
efforts, and the efforts to fight back against voter suppression, we can do it.
We can push Progressive ideals.
And it may not happen in this election, but it could happen in the next one, or the next
one.
But if we stop pushing, if we stop fighting, if we feel too defeated to get back up on
Wednesday morning, then Republicans definitely did win.
But if we get back up and we don't stop fighting for a second, then even though they retained
those seats, it's still a major win for Progressives.

100% Serious US Senate Election Prediction - Duration: 3:14.
Hello guys, and welcome to an election prediction that is 100% serious
First, we should start off with the obvious states, [safe dem states] will all obviously
go to the Republicans
Now, you might think "well hold on that doesn't make any sense those states usually
vote for the democrats"
And yes, they do, and the Democrats are America's left wing party, in the Spanish Civil War
the left wing faction was the Republicans, so therefore, these states will all vote Republican
Except for of course California, because they're a dictatorship and don't even have a Republican
on the ballot
Now, Wyoming, Utah, and Nebraska, those are almost certainly going to vote for the Republicans
Except that, unfortunately, Jack, one of the only three people who lived in Wyoming, died
And Catherine can't vote because the Supreme Court just recently ruled that Wyoming is
allowed to take away voting rights from women
So that just leaves Jack, who, if you remember, wants Wyoming to secede from the USA, and
runs the "Wyomian Independence Party"
So he will just vote for himself as senator
Now, on to the rust belt
Now, rust, is the colour red
And red, is of course, the colour of socialism
Cuba, is socialist
And Cuba, ISW AN ISLAND
And islands are surrounded by water, which is blue
So they're all gonna be blue states
Now, Missouri, they're going to bring Harry S Truman back from the dead and vote him in
as Senator, so, watch out Japan
Now, North Dakota and Montana
Those states actually were annexed by Canada long ago, it's just nobody noticed because
nobody cares about those places
And they're going to vote for the Progressive Conservatives
Then, on to Mississippi
They have a special election, because both of their senate seats are empty right now
And so, since they don't have any senators, they may as well also get rid of their governor
as well
And their president, and their landlords, and their capitalists, and become Anarchist
Now, upon hearing that Mississippi has no more government, Tennessee will for the "Let's
Invade Mississippi Party" which will win the election
Now, on to West Virginia.
They have a lot of mountains
Why?
Because of plate tectonics and stuff.
Cool huh?
Anyways they're going to vote for Joe Manchin
Now, Nevada
If you remember my "Weirdest US State Borders Explained" video, Nevada's western border
is like that because California wanted to take a lot of stuff
So Nevada will elect the "Let's Invade California and Take Their Stuff Party" and
then invade California
So, I forgot to say Minnesota and Hawaii when I was listing the Republican states, so they're
uh… voting for the uh, light red party, cool huh?
Now, Arizona, Texas, and Florida
These states don't matter at all
Bye

What the U.S. midterms mean for Canada | Power & Politics - Duration: 2:01.
There are three possible outcomes in the U.S. midterms. Right now, the Republicans
control both the House and the Senate. So, they could maintain that control. The
second possibility — the Democrats could seize all of Congress. The final
possible outcome — what most pollsters are betting on — is that the Democrats take
the House, but the Republicans keep control of the Senate. A split Congress
could have big implications for Canada. First, there's trade the new USMCA faces
a congressional vote next year. And it needs majority support in both houses.
The Democrats likely won't want to pass anything with President Trump's stamp on
it, so they could block the deal. And then there's those tariffs Trump slapped on
steel and aluminum tariffs coming from Canada. Trump has the final say on those — but a
different congressional makeup could push back in different ways. Then there's
the economy. The stock market historically performs worse under a
split Congress. If you invest in US equities that's a risk. But there's also
potential relief. The Republicans have suggested they're not done cutting taxes.
Trump has already cut the federal corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 per cent.
That undercuts Canada's combined average corporate tax rate, which some business
leaders say gives the U.S. a competitive edge. A split Congress could block more
tax cuts and prevent that competitive gap from widening. Finally there's the
effect on the border and Canada's now-legal weed. Canadians who are in the
marijuana business, or who consume it, risk being turned away at the border —
even banned for life. A Democratic congressman has said he wants to fix
that. And his party should be able to if they gain some control in Congress. "It's
my hope that soon as the elections are over, we can sit down and talk about what
is it that Homeland needs from us, Congress, to move forward on this issue."
And that's why Canadians will be watching closely what happens in the
U.S. on November 6th.

Obama blasts Trump's deployment of troops to the U.S.-Mexico border - Duration: 10:06.
Barack Obama has blasted Trump's deployment of thousands of active-duty troops to the U
S.-Mexico border as a 'political stunt' in a fiery speech on Friday. The former President slammed Republicans for their aggressive stance against migrants trying to enter the United States during his speech rallying for Florida Democrats in Miami
'They're telling you the existential threat to America is a bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles away,' he said on Republicans
'They're even taking our brave troops away from their families for a political stunt at the border
The men and women of our military deserve better than that. So they're just constant fear mongering to distract from the record,' he added
His rebuke comes as some 7,000 military members are set to arrive at the border through the weekend
Trump says he's willing to send as many as 15,000 to support Border Patrol agents
On Thursday the first 109 troops from the 591st Military Police Company were taken from Fort Hood, Texas, to to Lackland Air Force Base to help with operations there and on Friday the troops began to set up barbed wire on the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge
The troops that continue to trickle will likely meet the third caravan of 1,000 to 1,500 migrants who trekked from El Salvador and waded over the Suchiate River into Mexico on Friday
On Thursday Trump sparked outrage when he told reporters that if migrants throw rocks at troops or border patrol officers, the U
S. will retaliate.'I don't want these people throwing rocks,' the president said on Thursday, reflecting on violence that erupted on Mexico's southern border as the first of four caravans of Central Americans made their way north last week
'What they did to the Mexican military is a disgrace,' he said. 'They hit them with rocks
Some were very seriously injured, and they were throwing rocks in their face. [If] they do that with us, they're going to be arrested
There's going to be problems.''I didn't say shoot. I didn't say shoot! But they do that with us, they're going to be arrested for a long time,' he warned
Speaking at the Miami rally wasn't easy for Obama, who was heckled by protesters
But he handled the angry shouts and boos with grace saying: 'This is what I look forward to - is having a few hecklers to get me back in the mood
I enjoy that. You always got to have a few in order to know that you're on the campaign trail
'At one point he addressed one heckler saying: 'Here's the deal. If you support the other candidates, then you should go support the other candidates
Don't be here.''One of the things I never understood was why if you're supporting the other guy, you come to my rally
Go to their rally,' he added. He was campaigning for Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, and Andrew Gillum, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Obama is ramping up his campaign trail stops to push voters towards the polls as the midterm elections are four days away
After his stop in Miami, Obama headed to Georgia rallying for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams who is in a deadlock race with Republican Brian Kemp, saying: 'I'm here for one simple reason: To ask you to vote'
'The consequences of any of us staying home are profound because America is at a crossroads
The character of our country is on the ballot,' he added. He also accused Republicans of using 'scare tactics' in the election
'They'll try to disenfranchise people and take away their right to vote.Stacey's opponent has already been caught multiple times,' he said
Abrams has accused Kemp of voter suppression, accusations he calls 'farce'. 'Georgia, be unafraid
If they try to take away your right to vote, there's only one way to take it back: Vote,' he said
On Friday Trump was campaigning for Republicans in West Virginia. As the campaign trail heats up ahead of the elections, tensions are rising at the U
S.-Mexico border. The third caravan just entered Mexico on Friday. They were not allowed to cross the bridge from Guatemala to Mexico so the group waded across the Suchiate River to enter Mexican territory
RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next First 100 troops arrive at US-Mexico border and start
'I didn't say shoot!' Trump says he never meant for the. Share this article Share The first caravan - and largest group of almost 4,000 - entered Mexico almost two weeks ago and is now in Donaji, Oaxaca
The second caravan of 1,000 to 1,500 people is now in Mapastepec, Chiapas. It's unclear whether the first caravan will make a turn east to Mexico City to head to a stretch of the border
As the journey goes on, many migrants have decided to remain in Mexico rather than try to enter the U
S. Mexico's Interior Department said on Thursday that nearly 3,000 migrants have applied for refuge in Mexico while hundreds have returned home
At its peak, the caravan had about 7,000 people. Active-duty military troops are preparing for the flood of migrants and on Friday spent the day installing coils of razor wire on a bridge and a riverbank across Texas' Rio Grande Valley
The Pentagon said on Friday more than 3,500 troops have been deployed to staging bases along the border, including about 1,000 Marines in California
Still, there were only about 100 troops at the border on Friday, working at and near a bridge leading to McAllen, Texas, the Rio Grande Valley's second-biggest city, with about 140,000 people

Midterms will be 'most secure' elections in US history: DHS chief - Duration: 6:54.
Tuesday's midterm elections will be the "most secure" elections in U.S. history, according to Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, though the U
S. government remains on high alert for any election-related mischief. "This is going to be the most secure election we've ever had," Nielsen told the audience at a Council on Foreign Relations event on Friday
"But as we all know, this is a dynamic threat, it changes by the minute." Nielsen said that "as of today," DHS has not seen a coordinated attempt by a foreign government to interfere in American voting infrastructure, such as voter databases, polling systems and voting machines, but pledged to notify state and local officials "the moment that changes
" "Everyone should vote. Everyone should feel confident that state and local [officials] are doing everything they can to secure the infrastructure," she said
"Because a very important thing here is the adversary wins if we don't vote, right?" Nielsen acknowledged that U
S. election systems are under "constant attack." Ahead of the 2016 election, hackers linked to Russia scanned or probed election infrastructure in all 50 states, DHS officials said, though they aren't believed to have manipulated any records
This year, Nielsen said, there were only a few "very limited cases" of access -- not attributed to a foreign campaign -- that had to be "mitigated
" John Cohen, former acting under secretary for intelligence and analysis at DHS, warned that the apparent lack of cyber activity targeting infrastructure could be misleading
After all, he said, professional hackers likely would've changed their tactics since 2016
"While they're not seeing the same type of scanning activity, [cyber officials] weren't expecting to
That's not how hackers in general, and in particular foreign intelligence services, operate," said Cohen, now an ABC News contributor
"If they've penetrated a network, they've developed a whole new way to do it." While the U
S. government has made progress in securing its systems to cyberattacks, Cohen said he's not "at all" as optimistic as Nielsen seems to be about the upcoming election
What Nielsen and Cohen, do agree on, however, is that the Russians appear to have continued the online influence operation to spread propaganda, disinformation and incendiary rhetoric that allegedly targeted the 2016 elections
U.S. officials and experts have seen, however, a continuation of the Russia-linked online influence campaign to spread propaganda, disinformation and incendiary rhetoric that allegedly targeted the 2016 elections
Last month, the Justice Department indicted a Russian national for her alleged role in the conspiracy, and court papers detailed how the Russians allegedly passed themselves off as Americans on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere to "sow division and discord in the U
S. political system, including by creating social and political polarization, undermining faith in democratic institutions, and influencing U
S. elections, including the upcoming 2018 midterm election." Nielsen said such online influence operations were "very pernicious" and "much more difficult to get our hands around" than the effort to secure election infrastructure
The FBI has taken lead on battling the disinformation online, but Nielsen said much of the strategy comes down to "educating" the American public to consider the source of the information they're reading
"We need to continue as a country to figure out how to combat that part," she said
She is worried, she said, that even the suggestion of irregularities on or after election night could undermine confidence in the process
"My biggest concern," Nielsen said, "is that a foreign entity will take the opportunity after the election or the night of the election to attempt to sow discord through social media by suggesting that something did not work as it should in a certain area
" Information operations experts recently described to ABC News the difficulty in fighting the online disinformation campaigns, as foreign and domestic trolls and bots continuously evolved to skirt new security policies implemented by social media companies
"So now the people at the first line of defense are the people at the tech platforms and what they're going to find is as they change the state of play, as they change the rules a little bit, the adversary is going to evolve and respond," said Renee DiResta, director of research at the Austin, Texas-based cybersecurity firm New Knowledge
"This is going to be an arms race that's going to play out kind of for the indefinite future
"

United Nations Official Claims Migrant Caravan Just a "Normal Event" - Duration: 2:32.
A United Nations official has declared that the migrant caravan is a "normal event,"
and says the United States should not reinforce our border against them.
Joel Millman, who is a spokesman for the United Nations, also said it was wrong to call it
an "invasion," and we should view the caravans as "normal."
The clash of ideologies and ideas between the United States and the United Nations is
likely why President Trump has opted to defund several programs within the United Nations,
the latest being the Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
The New York Times describes the agency as providing assistance to millions of Palestinian
refugees.
According to The Hill, the UNRWA the United States has been UNRWA's biggest donor since
its inception and contributes a disproportionate amount towards Palestinian refugees compared
to other refugees around the world.
Millman also addressed President Trump's plan to place U.S. military on the border,
by saying, "Militarising the border is not something we are ever in favor of."
From Yahoo News
The caravan of migrants making its way through Mexico is "kind of a normal event" and
the United States ought not to reinforce its border against them, a United Nations official
said on Friday.
With days to go before mid-term elections, U.S. President Donald Trump has called the
surge of people an "invasion", ordered troops to the border and suggested any rock-throwing
by migrants should be treated as equivalent to gunfire.
Joel Millman, a spokesman for the U.N.'s International Organization for Migration (IOM),
told a U.N. briefing in Geneva there had been similar caravans for many years, and the group
was still hundreds of miles away from the United States.
"So (using) words like 'invasion' and things like that is assuming that this is
a new phenomenon which is a drastic emergency, and I don't think that anyone at IOM would
share that view," he said.
"This is kind of a normal event."
Militarised frontiers tended not to deter people from crossing borders, he added.
Instead, they increased the profits of criminal people-smuggling gangs and led to deaths among
migrants.
"Militarising the border is not something we are ever in favor of," he said.
