Bill O'Reilly here. Tuesday, November 8th, Election Day. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Here's what's happening across our nation. The vote underway. Elon Musk endorses Republicans. 75% of workers need a second job to offset inflation. Millions of Americans scale back Thanksgiving dinner to save money. Also ahead. What to look for? as election day unfolds. But first, on the ballot today, 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats, 36 states will elect a governor. In total, politicians have spent more than $14 billion this election cycle. Let's polls show Republicans have a 54% chance to win both the House and the Senate.

The White House warning the final results could take a few days to count. More on the midterm vote later. Elon Musk endorsing the Republican Party on Twitter wrote the billionaire, quote, To all independent-minded voters, shared power curves the worst excess of both parties. Therefore, I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given the presidency is Democratic, unquote, from Musk. Just 12 hours earlier, President Biden accused Twitter of, quote, spewing lies and conspiracy theories, which might not have been such a great idea. A report from the Wall Street Journal finds 75% of workers now need a second job to cope with inflation. The average household spends $200 more per week because of higher prices.

under Joe Biden. So Americans are finding part-time employment at restaurants, bars, construction sites, real estate agencies. The typical household has lost $6,000 in purchasing power over the last 12 months. Study from the wealth management firm Personal Capital Fines, millions of families are scaling back Thanksgiving dinner to save money. Twenty-five percent say they are skipping dinner altogether. One and three are hosting smaller meals. 88% say they're cutting a few dishes from the menu. This Thanksgiving will be the most expensive in history.

Now, I do not believe this survey. I think it's hooey, but I could be wrong. In a moment, a traditional voting day. We'll have some perspective next. and the people behind the headlines.

Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, the midterm vote. Already there's controversy. Senate candidate John Federman in Pennsylvania suing his own state because he doesn't like the law that says if you mail in a ballot, you have to put.

a date on the ballot. He doesn't like it. He's suing already. Now, overall, Republicans are angrier this year than Democrats, and angry voters usually turn out. The corporate media, of course, is allied with the Democratic Party. Many independents don't like the lack of fair play there. All of the polls are suspect until, tomorrow when we'll run down who was right and who was wrong, but here are a few right now. Trafalgar Group, which was very accurate in the last presidential election, has Georgia this way. Hershaw Walker 50%, Raphael Warnock, 47%. Trafalga has the governance race in Georgia, Kemp 53, Stacey Abrams, 44. In Ohio, Trafalgar.

August says J.D. Vance will win 54% to Tim Ryan's 44%. In Oregon, another poll data for progress has the Democrat now ahead Tina Kotech for governor, 48%. Republican Christine Drazen, 44%. If that's wrong and Ms. Drazen wins, that would be a shocker, as Oregon could be the liberal state in the Union. Possible GOP upstates loom in New York, New Hampshire, Nevada, Arizona, and Michigan. As for Pennsylvania, I just cited Federman, but the race against Oz is already very dubious, because Pennsylvania doesn't have a hard deadline for vote count. And the mail-in rules, as we cited, are being challenged.

So do not expect, at least I don't, a winner or loser tonight in the Senate race in Pennsylvania. The Democrat should win the governorship there. In the end, I see the House going for Republicans, as I've mentioned, by a fairly large margin. And when we wake up sometime this week, the Senate should wind up 54 Republicans. The country will remain divided. There will be tremendous angst, no matter what happens in this vote.

There will be charges of fraud. There will be conspiracies. There will be mud slinging after the fact. There will be accusations. this is the political age in which we live. But it is vitally important that all Americans cast a ballot today because this country hangs in the balance and every intelligent person knows it. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. If you'd like more honest news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com.

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 90 years ago today, Franklin Delano Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover to become the 32nd President of the United States. The American public

demoralized from the Great Depression elected FDR in a land slide. Here is the story. By 1932, the USA was suffering the worst financial collapse in human history. The economy was down 55% compared to four years earlier. Half of the nation's banks had failed. A third of the entire workforce in America unemployed. In Washington, President Hoover, who did not cause the Depression, he inherited it, did little, believing the free marketplace would rise without government help. He was desperately wrong. Herbert had taken office just seven months before the crash.

For the next three years, he avoided any federal intervention. He also refused to provide direct aid to those in need, said Hoover, quote, allowing millions of Americans to go on the dole will permanently weaken this country, unquote. Shantytowns called Hoovervilles popped up all over the country. At the height of the Depression, 15,000 people lived in New York City Central Park. In 1932, voters were given a choice. They could keep Hoover or select Roosevelt, the progressive 52-year-old governor of New York State. The Democrat extensively used radio to promote his new deal.

He delivered weekly speeches ending with the popular song, Happy Days Are Here Again. On November 8, 1932, America booted Herbert Hoover from the White House. The electoral count, Roosevelt 472, Hoover 59. Roosevelt went on to win elections in 36, 40, and 44. he died in office, April 12th, 1945 at the age of 63. And here's something else you might not know. The transfer of power between Hoover and Roosevelt was contentious.

The two men despised each other. During the transition, Hoover refused to be photographed with FDR. He eventually caved and appeared with Roosevelt at his inauguration. Back after this.
