DEMOCRATIC LEADER NANCY PELL
LOWS TOY EXTEND HIS
CONGRATULATIONS.
NOW THAT TELLS CONTROL
HOUSE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
MOVING FORWARD.
BILL ROSENBERG IS POLITICAL
SCIENCE PROFESSOR AT DREXEL
UNIVERSITY AND YENS IS LIVE
FROM THE CBS-3 NEWS CENTER.
BILL, THANKS FOR BEING WITH US
GOOD MORNING.
HOW DOES THIS EFFECT THE
PRESIDENT'S AGENDA.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL I WOULD
SAY IN THIS ELECTION THERE WAS
A VICTORY EITHER WAY FOR
DONALD TRUMP IF THE HOUSE WENT
DEMOCRATIC HE WOULD BE ABLE TO
SAY OVER NEXT TWO YEARS
EVERYTHING THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN
FOR HIS AGENDA WAS THE FAULT
OF THE DEMOCRATS, AND IF HE
WOULD HAVE WON THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES HE WOULD CLAIM
SORT OF THE MANDATE FOR
EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS DONE.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO RIGHT
NOW IS ALL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
SHIPS AND SUBCOMMITTEE
CHAIRMAN SHIPS OF THE HOUSE
ARE GOING TO BE DEMOCRATIC.
SO THEY WILL HAVE SUBPOENA
POWER AND DO INVESTIGATIONS
BUT THEY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL
NOT TO OVER REACH.
WE ARE HEARING NANCY PELOSI
'S NAME A LOT AGAIN,
WHAT MOVES DO YOU ANTICIPATE
DEMOCRATS MILKING NEW THAT
THEY CONTROL THE HOUSE.
THEY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IF
THEY GO AFTER THE PRESIDENT DO
YOU THINK THEY WILL OR WHAT
MIGHT HAPPEN NOW.
I THINK THE DEMOCRATS IN
PARTICULAR HAVE AN AMAZING
AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCE TO THE
FACT THAT THEY WANTED TO STAY
ON MESSAGE FOR THIS ELECTION.
YOU HEARD IN DISCUSSION AT ALL
BY DEMOCRATS ABOUT IMPEACHMENT
THEY DON'T WANT THE ELECTION
TO BE A REFERENDUM ON SHOULD
WE IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP.
THE DEMOCRATS WERE DEALING
WITH ISSUES ABOUT HEALTH CARE
AND ABOUT OTHER ISSUES, AND
RECOGNIZING THAT THE ECONOMY
GENERALLY IS DOING PRETTY WELL
THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN A
SITUATION WHERE THEY WILL WANT
TO TAKE THE POSITION OF BEING
THE RESPONSIBLE ADULTS IN THE
ROOM RATHER THAN BEING THE
ATTACKERS.
BILL WHAT ARE THE RESULTS
TELL US ABOUT HOW THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN IS FEELING?
DID THEY VET FOR CANDIDATES OR
DID THEY VET FOR OR AGAINST
THE PRESIDENT.
I THINK WE HAVE TWO THINGS
TO CONSIDER.
ONE IS THE FACT IF YOU LOOKED
AT COVERAGE LAST NIGHT WHICH I
WAS VERY A TUNE TO, THE
COVERAGE WAS ALL ABOUT IT DID
DEMOCRAT TAKE A SEAT ARE LOSE
THE SEAT.
IT WAS ALL PARTISAN SHIP.
VERY LITTLE DISCUSSION ABOUT
THE SPECIFIC ISSUES IN THE
CAMPAIGN.
SO WHAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING
AT NEW IS THE PEOPLE THAT DID
GET ELECT HOW WILL THEY
APPROACH THE SHALL YOUS IN BET
HOUSE AND SENATE AS WELL AS
GOVERNORSHIPS.
WITHIN OF THE BIG STORIES YOU
DON'T WANT TO MISS IS FACT
THAT PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN
AND ONE CONN SIN WHICH WERE
SURPRISE STATES FOR DONALD
TRUMP HAVE ELECT STATEWIDE,
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS.
SO THAT LEAVES SORT OF A PATH
FOR DEMOCRATS IN THE 2020
ELECTION.
LETS STICK WITH THAT PINT
FOR A MOMENT.
THERE WERE A LOT OF GOVERNOR-
SHIPS POSITIONS
OPENED, I THINK 36 OFFER LESS
THAN THAT BUT QUITE A FEW AND
THEY SEEMED TO PICK UP QUIT A
FEW SEATS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT IS IN THE NECESSARILY
CONGRESS BUT THE ROLE OF
GUTCHER-SHIPS DOES PLAY A
PERFECT ROLE, TALK ABOUT THAT
QUICKLY.
WE ARE COMING IN A PERIOD
WHERE NEXT RHEA PORTION.
PROCESS WILL TAKE PLACE, THE
BOUND DRY LINES FOR
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS AND
THAT REALLY SET UP WHO IS
LIKELY TO WIN A CONGRESSIONAL
SEAT DEPENDING UPON THE BOUND
DRY LINE.
THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT.
SECOND OF ALL WE HAVE TO
RECOGNIZE THAT TWO OF THE
BIGGEST DEFEAT YESTERDAY WERE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN DEMOCRATS
RUNNING FOR GOVERNORS IN
BOATMAN FLORIDA.
VERY CLOSE RACES, BUT THEY
CAME UP SHORT.
WELL, THANKS BILL WE
APPRECIATE BILL ROSENBERG FROM
DREXEL UNIVERSITY.
INSIGHT THIS MORNING.
