>> charlie cook is viewed as one of the top senate prognosticators. he says the democrats are going to win control of the senate. that is possible we don't know the result of that until even later in the evening. nevada is one of the key states out west. it is probably leaning democratic with a heavy hispanic vote out there but the senate race control may be something we have to learn later. scarlet: what about the house? will paul ryan stay as speaker? it looks pretty certain. get off a lot of ground but he will face a small challenge by had to guess. mccormick. appreciate you coming on and filling us in. tune in for election coverage in an hour. heilemannrin and john anchoring that. then we have another election megan murphy. our coverage is special even starting before that. starting now until 1:00 in the morning. special election coverage. don't change the channel. this is bloomberg. ♪ scarlet: the u.s. stock market remarkable track record. we want to watch the s&p 500 prior to election day. the opposing party candidate tends to win the presiden

charlie cook, we're taking senate races. the nine closest senate races in the country that's going to decide control of the senate. i have said as you can see, allocating everything so far, we have a 46-45. t start with high confidence to low confidence. start with illinois. >> mark has the toughest job of any republican incumbent. >> this one, a battle of current and former senators. >> ron johnson made a comeback but not enough. >> we have florida, marco rubio -- >> it's not a landslide but rubio wins. >> even if clinton carries florida? >> i think even so. i think rubio still wins. >> we have it here. toomey. >> coming back towards the end but not enough. katie mcginty. >> i think it's too much. it's going republican. >> republican, meet senator todd young. >> nevada, harry reid seat? >> i think the democratic turnout operation is going to be too much. democrats will hold on to nevada. >> the first hispanic woman u.s. senator if that does happen. the final three here. look where we are. 49-48. what do we got? >> i think i
