Democrats think they have a shot 1509 01:07:46,062 --> 01:07:49,106 to win the House, polls suggest they might. 1510 01:07:49,148 --> 01:07:51,400 But none of that of course, as we pollsters stress, 1511 01:07:51,442 --> 01:07:52,526 is certain. 1512 01:07:56,572 --> 01:07:58,240 - Tarrant County, really this 1513 01:07:58,282 --> 01:08:01,118 entire district is staunchly Republican. 1514 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,245 - Well, I'm gonna argue about that. 1515 01:08:03,287 --> 01:08:04,580 The Tarrant County part of this district, 1516 01:08:04,622 --> 01:08:07,124 Hillary won it by 3,000 votes. 1517 01:08:07,166 --> 01:08:09,418 Our projections showed us to be pretty much 1518 01:08:09,460 --> 01:08:11,754 where we are tonight. 1519 01:08:11,796 --> 01:08:14,423 So we're just waiting now for election day results, 1520 01:08:14,465 --> 01:08:16,550 which we expect to be heavily Democratic. 1521 01:08:19,428 --> 01:08:23,557 - I feel like Texas and people all over the country, 1522 01:08:23,599 --> 01:08:27,269 states all over the country, we are stepping forward 1523 01:08:27,311 --> 01:08:28,813 in ways that say no. 1524 01:08:28,854 --> 01:08:31,816 I'm not going to accept this as the status quo. 1525 01:08:33,109 --> 01:08:34,610 - I think that many of those House seats 1526 01:08:34,652 --> 01:08:36,278 are gonna be flipped and they're gonna be 1527 01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:37,780 flipped by women. 1528 01:08:37,822 --> 01:08:39,448 I'm feeling hopeful. 1529 01:08:41,492 --> 01:08:43,410 - In the last presidential election, 1530 01:08:43,452 --> 01:08:46,622 so many of our young people simply felt disconnected. 1531 01:08:47,873 --> 01:08:50,459 Enraged or engaged, we are seeing the youth 1532 01:08:50,501 --> 01:08:53,629 in this country get in the game and that is 1533 01:08:53,671 --> 01:08:54,797 democracy working. 1534 01:08:54,839 --> 01:08:56,632 The record number of people voting, 1535 01:08:56,674 --> 01:08:57,758 that is good news. 1536 01:08:59,343 --> 01:09:00,970 - Among the many numbers I've read today 1537 01:09:01,011 --> 01:09:03,639 the most startling to me was that 65% 1538 01:09:03,681 --> 01:09:05,182 of the American people think the country's 1539 01:09:05,224 --> 01:09:06,642 headed in the wrong direction. 1540 01:09:06,684 --> 01:09:09,311 They just don't think the country is functioning. 1541 01:09:09,353 --> 01:09:12,439 People are challenging the structure of government 1542 01:09:12,481 --> 01:09:15,317 and its relevance to their lives itself. 1543 01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:16,861 - There was another option to look at. 1544 01:09:16,902 --> 01:09:18,112 - A better option. 1545 01:09:18,154 --> 01:09:20,489 One that works in favor of us, the people, 1546 01:09:20,531 --> 01:09:24,994 not just the upper crust rich ones. 1547 01:09:25,035 --> 01:09:26,996 - Just regular old people, just regular people. 1548 01:09:27,037 --> 01:09:28,455 - Hard-working folks. 1549 01:09:28,497 --> 01:09:30,875 - Hard-working, that us, exactly. 1550 01:09:30,916 --> 01:09:33,836 - A lot has been said about the fact that, you know, 1551 01:09:33,878 --> 01:09:37,047 there are very few black people who are here, 1552 01:09:37,089 --> 01:09:39,675 and there are a lot of Caucasians here, 1553 01:09:39,717 --> 01:09:43,470 but that's not the only way we define commonality. 1554 01:09:43,512 --> 01:09:46,182 And Lauren is just like everyone in that room 1555 01:09:47,725 --> 01:09:49,810 and we believe we're gonna have good outcome tonight. 1556 01:09:51,729 --> 01:09:54,690 - I met Lauren at a conference 1557 01:09:54,732 --> 01:09:56,692 right after the 2016 election. 1558 01:09:56,734 --> 01:09:59,028 And at the time she was saying like, 1559 01:09:59,069 --> 01:10:01,488 "Maybe I wanna run for an office someday." 1560 01:10:01,530 --> 01:10:04,533 And I was like, "Maybe I wanna work on a campaign someday." 1561 01:10:05,951 --> 01:10:09,163 She just had this, she makes you believe in her. 1562 01:10:09,205 --> 01:10:12,583 She's got this passion and she's got this charisma. 1563 01:10:17,588 --> 01:10:19,882 For a really long time, it was just her and I 1564 01:10:19,924 --> 01:10:21,091 figuring it out. 1565 01:10:21,133 --> 01:10:23,093 And she had never run for office before, 1566 01:10:23,135 --> 01:10:26,055 and I had never worked on a campaign before. 1567 01:10:26,096 --> 01:10:28,933 So we really had no roadmap for what we were doing. 1568 01:10:28,974 --> 01:10:32,186 It was just like, this is what we need to accomplish, 1569 01:10:32,228 --> 01:10:34,230 and let's start getting things done. 1570 01:10:36,232 --> 01:10:38,734 - There are just so many city councils, 1571 01:10:38,776 --> 01:10:42,363 boards, commissions, just elected positions 1572 01:10:42,404 --> 01:10:45,532 in this country where a woman has never served, 1573 01:10:45,574 --> 01:10:47,952 where a woman of color has never served. 1574 01:10:49,578 --> 01:10:52,748 I don't look at a map and see red, blue, or purple. 1575 01:10:52,790 --> 01:10:54,083 All I see is opportunity. 1576 01:11:14,812 --> 01:11:16,146 - The most similar election 1577 01:11:16,188 --> 01:11:18,941 that we had recently, we had a 27% voter turnout. 1578 01:11:18,983 --> 01:11:20,609 As of about 5:00 p.m. today, 1579 01:11:20,651 --> 01:11:23,237 we had an over 50% voter turnout. 1580 01:11:25,823 --> 01:11:28,409 - It was or wasn't, and he was and wasn't. 1581 01:11:28,450 --> 01:11:30,577 - Well let's hope there's no problems, right? 1582 01:11:30,619 --> 01:11:31,954 - We'll go for it, we'll take it. 1583 01:11:31,996 --> 01:11:33,247 - But people are involved, so I think-- 1584 01:11:33,289 --> 01:11:34,999 - I think this counts as a problem, but-- 1585 01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:36,625 - The Justice Department will be 1586 01:11:36,667 --> 01:11:39,336 keeping a very close eye on interim election voting 1587 01:11:39,378 --> 01:11:41,255 in multiple states tonight. 1588 01:11:41,297 --> 01:11:42,840 - Okay, thank you, bye. 1589 01:11:44,675 --> 01:11:46,260 They ran out of ballots because 1590 01:11:46,302 --> 01:11:47,803 our voter turnout was so high. 1591 01:11:47,845 --> 01:11:50,806 And they didn't anticipate it, and so they had to 1592 01:11:50,848 --> 01:11:55,269 rush ballots to the polling places and people left. 1593 01:11:55,311 --> 01:11:56,603 - Some of the stuff we're reading about 1594 01:11:56,645 --> 01:11:58,022 now in Georgia and elsewhere, it's just, 1595 01:11:58,063 --> 01:11:59,982 a modern nation should be able to vote 1596 01:12:00,024 --> 01:12:01,650 with a little bit more confidence than 1597 01:12:01,692 --> 01:12:03,152 what we're seeing right now. 1598 01:12:03,193 --> 01:12:04,987 - We don't know how many votes it was. 1599 01:12:05,029 --> 01:12:06,822 I need to do well in other counties, 1600 01:12:06,864 --> 01:12:08,615 but we need to blow it out of the water here. 1601 01:12:08,657 --> 01:12:10,701 - Right. - Yeah, it's critical. 1602 01:12:11,827 --> 01:12:12,995 Democrats must pick up 1603 01:12:13,037 --> 01:12:15,497 22 Republican seats. 1604 01:12:15,539 --> 01:12:17,666 That brings it, to get to the magic number 1605 01:12:17,708 --> 01:12:19,835 of 218, become the majority. 1606 01:12:19,877 --> 01:12:21,670 - And this is good news if you're a Democrat. 1607 01:12:21,712 --> 01:12:23,213 You're watching this and you're thinking 1608 01:12:23,255 --> 01:12:24,381 they're leading in 16. 1609 01:12:24,423 --> 01:12:25,841 They've already picked up one. - Yes. 1610 01:12:25,883 --> 01:12:28,635 - It's early yet, it's only 8:00, it would have to be-- 1611 01:12:28,677 --> 01:12:30,804 - I'm so nervous right now. 1612 01:12:30,846 --> 01:12:32,806 I'm having anxiety. 1613 01:12:32,848 --> 01:12:34,683 -

That's what we needed in Tarrant 1634 01:13:21,897 --> 01:13:23,357 and we're already there in early voting. 1635 01:13:23,399 --> 01:13:24,566 That's good. 1636 01:13:24,608 --> 01:13:25,901 - Oh, that's awesome, that's awesome. 1637 01:13:25,943 --> 01:13:28,404 Yeah, that's what I'm looking at. 1638 01:13:38,789 --> 01:13:41,083 -

We were breaking the model of what a politician 1877 01:24:18,053 --> 01:24:20,346 and what a leader could look like when we had 1878 01:24:20,388 --> 01:24:22,766 so many different examples of people 1879 01:24:22,807 --> 01:24:24,934 who did not look like history. 1880 01:24:24,976 --> 01:24:27,896 The reason why Democrats did so well 1881 01:24:27,937 --> 01:24:30,356 in these Midwestern States and winning in these 1882 01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:32,734 really red districts is because of women! 1883 01:24:32,776 --> 01:24:35,403 I mean, that's why that happened. 1884 01:24:36,446 --> 01:24:37,739 - The time for people to not be heard 1885 01:24:37,781 --> 01:24:39,407 and not be seen and not be listened to 1886 01:24:39,449 --> 01:24:42,577 or represented well, changes now. 1887 01:24:45,455 --> 01:24:48,541 - But it's not just the story of the women who ran. 1888 01:24:48,583 --> 01:24:52,420 It's the story of the women who got behind candidates 1889 01:24:52,462 --> 01:24:56,549 up and down the ballot in every state, across the country. 1890 01:24:57,842 --> 01:24:59,719 - This is the first time in my life, 1891 01:25:00,804 --> 01:25:02,055 yeah, this is the first time in my life 1892 01:25:02,097 --> 01:25:03,264 that I'm doing work that I feel like 1893 01:25:03,306 --> 01:25:04,432 I'm supposed to be doing. 1894 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:06,935 I thought I knew what it was to work hard. 1895 01:25:06,976 --> 01:25:08,061 And I thought I knew what it was 1896 01:25:08,103 --> 01:25:10,772 to follow my passion before. 1897 01:25:10,814 --> 01:25:13,441 And all of everything I've ever done in my life 1898 01:25:13,483 --> 01:25:15,610 just pales in comparison to this feeling. 1899 01:25:15,652 --> 01:25:17,612 - The fact that we had women who ran, 1900 01:25:17,654 --> 01:25:21,616 who didn't succeed, but so many of whom 1901 01:25:21,658 --> 01:25:24,953 got incredibly close to winning their races, 1902 01:25:24,994 --> 01:25:27,622 speaks volumes to where we are headed. 1903 01:25:29,499 --> 01:25:32,418 - I am hoping that that will help build 1904 01:25:32,460 --> 01:25:35,004 and strengthen the pipeline and include, 1905 01:25:35,046 --> 01:25:38,466 bring in those women who didn't make it this time. 1906 01:25:38,508 --> 01:25:40,468 - Once you kind of break the seal 1907 01:25:40,510 --> 01:25:42,804 on electing a woman and you have an electorate 1908 01:25:42,846 --> 01:25:44,097 that knows how to pull lever for 1909 01:25:44,139 --> 01:25:46,975 a non white non male candidate, 1910 01:25:47,016 --> 01:25:48,601 it gets easier to do it again. 1911 01:25:48,643 --> 01:25:50,979 So that makes a real long-lasting difference. 1912 01:25:52,480 --> 01:25:54,649 - We see this year as an exceptional year, 1913 01:25:54,691 --> 01:25:57,652 whether it is the beginning of a new paradigm, 1914 01:25:57,694 --> 01:26:00,113 a new model for women's participation 1915 01:26:00,155 --> 01:26:02,782 in American politics, we're gonna have to wait and see. 1916 01:26:05,660 --> 01:26:08,329 piano music 1917 01:26:12,500 --> 01:26:13,668 -

I'm gonna say in 2018 it was not winnable, 1933 01:27:10,433 --> 01:27:15,063 but I do think it's winnable now in 2020. 1934 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:17,232 - No. 1935 01:27:25,114 --> 01:27:26,574 I'm not that candidate. 1936 01:27:33,122 --> 01:27:34,707 I may run for something else. 1937 01:27:37,252 --> 01:27:38,544 -
