MARIA BARTIROMO (HOST): It feels like every time you have positive news on the GOP side, the detractors come out with some other big story, to sort of, “oh, nothing going on here, let's look over here.” Mary?

MARY KISSEL (WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD MEMBER): Yeah, and there's some funny business going on too. Look at the indictments; you had a representative in New York, [Chris] Collins and Duncan Hunter in California who were indicted less than three months before the election, which is completely inappropriate. Very hard for Republicans now to put another name on the ballot in both of those areas. So it can be a dirty business, Maria, unfortunately, but an awful lot at stake in this election.
