[0:14] ♪ >> NEWS MAKERS AND MARKET
[0:16] MOVERS. THIS IS "THE PULSE" WITH
[0:21] FRANCINE LACQUA. FRANCINE: GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
[0:23] WELCOME TO "THE PULSE." I'M FRANCINE LACQUA IN LONDON.
[0:26] SWEEPING LOSSES FOR THE REPUBLICANS IN THE MID-TERMS HAS
[0:34] LEFT A WAVE OF FINGER POINTING EXPOSING DEEP DIVISION ALSO IN
[0:37] PARTY. DEMOCRATS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT
[0:39] THEIR VICTORY WARNING THOSE IN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ORBIT TO
[0:43] LAWYER UP. IT HAS BEEN A WILD 24 HOURS

[1:23] PRESIDENT. HE WILL TRY TO REMAIN KING MAKER
[1:28] WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PART. HE STILL HAS A LOT OF MONEY TO
[1:32] BACK CERTAIN CANDIDATES BUT GIVEN THAT HIS HAND PICKED
[1:35] CANDIDATES IN THIS MID-TERM DID SO BADLY FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO
[1:40] TEXAS, I THINK THAT WILL MAKE REPUBLICANS IN WASHINGTON THINK
[1:43] DIFFERENTLY AND YOU ALREADY SEE SOME OF THAT WITH VICE PRESIDENT
[1:49] J.D. VANCE SAYING YESTERDAY THAT THE MID-TERM ELECTION WAS LOST
[1:52] BECAUSE OVER THE IRAN WAR AND HE SEEMED TO BE TRYING TO DEFINE
[1:56] HIMSELF DIFFERENTLY FROM TRUMP AND BREAK WITH TRUMP AS EVERYONE
[2:02] EXPECTS, AN EXPECTED 2028 RUN. M
