and you know jamie harrison caught fire down there. he's a really inspiring story, came from poverty and one of the, you know, poorest cities in south carolina, orangeburg ended going to yale and georgetown was, you know, raised by a single teen mother and his grandparents and he's, you know, he's been airing ads since spring really and hasn't gone down, and at this pongt you know he's spending just, you know, what i think last week he was over 7 million dollars on tv ads he's been one of the biggest fundraisers for democrats you know and lindsey graham has clearly seen this because last week he was sort of going on fox news really begging for money. and harrison you saw in that clep he's hitting for sort of switching his positions. i think lindsay gram is one of the most fascinating politicians out thereef this sort of very short-lived run for the presidency in 2016 he called president trump, you know, a race bating zen phobic religious bigot now closest allies underingo a major evolution in fast few years. he was hit, you know, alway

lindsey graham and jamie harrison. jamie harrison clearly has a deep warchest. i don't know where his funding is coming from, but i will say this. down in south carolina on the coast, the political demographics has changed over the years. more and more people are voting blue. joe cunningham and even in the presidential races. we go blue in charleston county. however, when you move away from the coast and start going upstate, people are deeply concerned about abortion, pro-life, military, immigration, economy, veterans affairs. once you start moving upstate, those things become much more important than the things jamie is pointing out. lindsay is scared. he acts like he is really deeply concerned. he has been begging for money. every time i turn the tv on, jamie's face pops up. when i look at youtube, his ads pop up. he is getting a lot of money from somewhere, i don't know where, but he is giving lindsay a good run for his money. host: let's see if jessica taylor can help with following the money. guest: democrats have really built a behemoth fundraising effort

jamie harrison, it's so nice to talk to you. i think for people in the north like me, we have this sort of vision of the south and sometimes maybe it's not an accurate vision but has the south changed when it comes to race relations? jaime: you know, one of the things i had in this race -- and i talked about this for a long time is -- it's the emergence of what i call the new south. a new south that is bold, that is inclusive, that is diverse. you take a look at the seat that i am actually vying for right now, this was the seat of john c.calooun. it was the seat of strom thurmond. it was the seat of a man called ben pitchfork tillman. and ben tillman was governor of south carolina. but he was a united states senator who would go to the floor of the u.s. senate and talk about the joys of lynching of black folks. this was the first state to secede from the union because of the issue of slavery. but we have the opportunity here in this election to also become the very first state to have two african-american senators serving at the

with me now is jamie harrison, a democratic candidate for senate. jamie, it is good to have you. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me. there is a lot of excitement around your campaign. you raised tons and tons of money. one thing that i noticed that is interesting is trump is pretty popular there. you don't mention him by name when you're out there campaigning. the question that i have for you, i ask congressman clyburn this the other day, who is the voter that votes for donald trump and then votes for you? >> you know, i don't really ask people about whether or not they are voting for trump or joe biden. i'm running against lindsey graham. i hope that the voter voting for jamie harrison is a voter that wants to bring hope back to south carolina. who is tired of lindsey graham going to washington dc to represent dc instead of south carolina. we live in a state where 30% of rural communities don't have access to broadband. they can't do what they are doing thousand. 14 of our 46 counties have now obgyns. i know you had a baby last year. we had a baby as well. 14 of

harrison, jamie harrison as you mentioned, he brought his own plexiglass as extra protection especially since lindsey graham is close with the president, spends a lot of time with him and so many people in washington being diagnosed with covid in recent days. lindsey graham as chair of the judiciary committee wanted to focus on the upcoming confirmation fight of amy coney barrett when he was asked at the debate last night about coronavirus, this is how he answered. take a look. >> we're not going to stop doing our job in washington as chairman of the judiciary committee, i promise you, we're going to get judge barrett on the court safely. >> thank you. >> the question about the coronavirus. not judge barrett or the supreme court. >> no. we're not going to blame the president. we shouldn't blame the president, we shouldn't blame anybody for the inception of this disease. but where blame should come is how we handled this disease. whether we take it seriously. tonight i am taking it seriously. that's why i put this plexiglass up. >> excuse me if it's loud behind you, we're on a street cor

jamie harrison has an inspiring story coming from poverty from south carolina and orangeburg going to yale and raised by a single teen mother and his grandparent and it hasn't gone down and last week he was over $7 million on tv ads one of the biggest fundraisers for democrats and lindsey graham has clearly because last week he was going on fox news begging for money and you see in the clip where he is switching his position i think lindsey graham is one of the most fascinating politicians outas there because he had a very short-lived run for the presidency in 2016 and called president trump a religious bigot that is race baiting now one of his closestis allies. he has undergone a major evolution the past few years. always conservatives in south carolina were skeptical machining immigration reform and part of the gang of eight and now he is trumps ally and now underperforming with republicans now the face of the confirmation hearings for judge barrett helps to solidify his standing. almost every question and that debate he would turn back about judges in the supreme court. >> and harr

, but for jamie harrison. i'm trying to build a bridge to the future. our graham: if this is future, god help us all. [cross talk] sen. graham: it is nancy pelosi and hillary clinton are your political mentors, you are probably not conservative. they understand that if bernie is a champion, you are not conservative. what conservatives need to understand, this matters, the control of the senate is on the ballot. mr. harrison is playing a game with the ballots. the doctor is technically on the ballots, but he has asked his supporters to vote for me because he wants conservative judges. he has never answered the question, would he vote for justice barrett's, one of the most qualified women to be nominated in the history of the supreme court's. he opposed cavanaugh and gorsuch. god be with him when it comes to the big stuff. i think it is one of the most radical agendas coming out of nancy pelosi's house. if republicans keep the senate, i'm the budget chairman, if democrats take it, bernie sanders is the chairman.

if but jamie harrison has raised a ton of money but given this, i was wondering, do you think that jamie harrison might be the beto o'rourke of 2020? >> could be. and in politics, it is and who's got the biggest pile of money. go ask president hillary clinton who outspent donald trump in 2016. we have seen the political landscape littered over the decades with people who spent more money than their opponent and lost. the question is efficiency. yes, jamie harrison had $15 million plus in the third quarter, but the question is does lindsey graham with 30 some odd million dollars or a high 20s i guess it was, does he have sufficient money to counter because at some point, you can get to too many ads and you are buying more sort of bouncing and not really digging through. so the question is i think both men have sufficient funds. the question is going to be who's going to get a better get out the vote operation and a better message. >> dana: do you think trump should travel to south carolina to give a boost to lindsay? >> i frankly think "the new york times" poll is probably right. lindsay

south carolina democrat jamie harrison has broken records bringing in an eye—popping $57 million in three months for his campaign against lindsay graham. before that, the biggest quarterly hole 38 million. that was beto o'rourke during his challenge to ted cruz in 2018. those are incredible numbers. in last year's uk general election, let's have a look. all political parties received a total of $40 million in donations. that is in total. what did they spend it on both here and what it is spent on over there? well, here they spent it ona over there? well, here they spent it on a lot of television advertising. but, remember, it doesn't guarantee you a victory. we all know what happened to be too o'rourke. he won all of that money he was the darling for the moment and he didn't win because it's very difficult for a democrat to win in texas. well, guess what? it's also very average

win the senate seat. >> and i'm going to be talking to jamie harrison very, very shortly. congressman clyburn, let me ask you about something you said to "time" magazine this week. you said, this election is much more than whether or not there will be law enforcement reform or a cure for covid or whether we will have the economic development we need to create jobs. none of that will matter if trump is re-elected. if trump is re-elected, it will seal the fortunes of this democracy. it will be no more. there are some people who would say, that's strong language from you, to say that the re-election of donald trump may actually challenge democracy itself in america. >> well, ali, you know, i've studied history all of my life. i used to teach history. i still consult with history on a day-to-day basis. and i know trends when i see them. and i know that when i was coming along back in 1954, we had a 9-0 supreme court decision against segregation, against second-class citizenship in favor of those of us who suffered that history. today, we have seen the court go now after next w

jamie harrison raising more money in the third quarter than any other senate candidate in history. let's bring in anna edgerton. this was supposed to be senator allsey graham, this was an but given. what happened? why is this race so close? >> the fact that we are even talking about this case shows just how far this blue wave could go in the direction of the democrats depending on the final weeks before the election. you did mention that jamie harrison, the democrat challenging graham for his seat, raised a record amount. he raised $57 million. the second-most was beto o'rourke in texas when he was challenging ted cruz. we know it's not a given that if you raise the most money that you will win that seat. very curious if there are more local issues in the state that are more of a focus. >> we are certainly seeing national money flowing into this race. south carolina is an interesting state because it is conservative but it's not as focused on the social issues that some of the other states in the deep south. you see people like mark sanford who was really a fiscal conservative and

i think jamie harrison is the beto o'rourke of the 2020 cycle. it means a couple of things. first of all as noted in your opening, they had to pour $10 million of republican support to save lindsey graham. $10 million that can't help the folks in the really tough states like colorado or maine. that helps the democrats, number 1. number 2, lindsey graham has pissed a lot of people off the same way that ted cruz has done. he's the ted cruz of this cycle. but ted worked hard in texas to make sure he didn't lose. some of the rescue here is i don't know that senator graham worked as hard. he didn't think he would have the same race. >> dana: thanks, bruce. lots to think about over the weekend. thanks everyone for joining us. i'm dana perino. i'll see you on "the five" on friday. >> bill: you're going to live in my head all weekend, dana. >> dana: i'll try to be quiet. >> bill: right on. thanks, dana. have a great time. a good friday afternoon, everyone. you almost made it. i'm bill hemmer. good day to you. our reporting begins in the great american west where joe biden is making

candidate in south carolina, jamie harrison. just the fact that it's this close, i mean, that says something about what's happening in south carolina. people should be shocked. >> what people are seeing is what i call the emergence of a new south, one that's inclusive and diverse. senator graham should be worried. he's been in washington, d.c. for 25 years, and people don't like his record. it's sad that he's going to take a moment in a hearing that we shouldn't have because he said we can use his own words that we weren't going to have this hearing in the midst of a campaign. i wish he would take all of that energy and passion he has asking people to go and give him contributions and actually pass a covid relief bill, because that is the issue on the mind os people here in south carolina. we need help. >> i know you're speaking for south carolina, but across the country, people really need help. >> you touched on it, senator graham looking like he's ewing today's amy coney barrett hearing as a campaign ad. he says it's appropri

jamie harrison had the good idea to bring a plexiglas barrier to his saturday debate with lindsey graham. he was a super spreader event that has apparently led to so many infections in the white house and beyond. the presidential debate commission has decided to install a plexiglas barrier to protect everyone from mike pence at the vice president debate. joe biden and kamala harris will make a rare joint appearance on the campaign trail after the vice-presidential debate in arizona. "new york times" released a national poll -- released a poll of likely voters in arizona that shows joe biden ahead of donald trump 49-41. and nbc walt "wall street journal" national poll of voters before he was forced to reveal he has coronavirus shows joe biden ahead by 14 points. his biggest lead ever recorded in that poll which shows joe biden at 53. and trump slipping down to 39. after this break, we'll be joined by two veterans of the presidential campaign that delivered president obama to the white house. david pluff will join us. david pluff will join us (driver vo) when i started this commute, everyo

harrison, who has outraised him by tens of millions of dollars. the cbs news battleground tracker shows republican incumbents trailing by four points in iowa, 10 points in north carolina, and 11 points in arizona. with the senate currently split 53-47, democrats need to net just three or four seats to win control, and there are plenty of ways for them to do it. of the 14 races cbs news considers very or somewhat co competitive, 12 involve seats currently held by republicans. with democrats now pouring money into "reach states" like kansas and texas, g.o.p. donors have rushed in to level the playing field, casino magnate sheldon adelson and his wife giving $75 million. but it doesn't help that senators are stuck in washington, finalizing the confirmation of supreme court nominee amy coney barrett instead of back home campaigning. senate leader mitch mcconnell is hoping to wrap up soon. he's up for reelection, too. >> we will give this nominee the vote she deserves. >> reporter: even if democrats have a good night on election night, we still may not
