[0:00] Reports from Florida, Alaska, and Texas.

[0:02] We are all over the midterms as Trump

[0:04] rallies in Iowa and Kansas are cancelled

[0:07] and then rescheduled. So about that

[0:10] chaos and scheduling, we thought we'd

[0:12] ask someone who might know something

[0:13] about it. Republican National Committee

[0:15] Chairman Joe Guthurst joins us. The

[0:18] Alaska Senate race isn't the only one

[0:20] that's close and quirky. The race for

[0:23] Alaska's at large house seat features a

[0:25] GOP incumbent and an independent

[0:27] candidate backed by DC Democrats. They

[0:30] agree on most issues. So, what's the

[0:32] deal? Well, the independent candidate,

[0:34] Bill Hill, will talk to us.

[0:44] Hello everyone, I'm Major Garrett in New

[0:45] York. Welcome to the Takeout. Let's get

[0:48] nerdy. I mean, really nerdy with

[0:50] numbers. numbers without Anthony

[0:52] Salvanto or Zack Donini are number

[0:54] crunching gurus. Just you and me and

[0:57] numbers. Why?

[0:59] Because something's going on this

[1:00] midterm cycle that I think is a bit

[1:03] unusual. Worth taking note of coattails

[1:06] without a presidential campaign. By my

[1:10] last count, at least six Senate races

[1:12] could be influenced, possibly heavily

[1:14] influenced by candidates running for

[1:16] governor. Let's start in South Carolina.

[1:19] Darlene Graham is running on average

[1:20] about two to three points ahead of

[1:23] Democratic nominee Annie Andrews.

[1:24] Republicans tell me that if Graham wins

[1:26] that race, it will be in part because of

[1:29] the powerhouse campaign of Alan Wilson,

[1:31] the GOP nominee for governor, who is

[1:33] ahead by roughly 11 points over Democrat

[1:36] Germaine Johnson. Wilson's coattails

[1:39] pulling Graham along in
