UNTIL SUNDOWN --- IF THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING, THEY WILL RESUME TOMORROW MORNING. 12 NEWS IS YOUR LOCAL ELECTION HEADQUARTERS -- TONIGHT, A LOCAL CONGRESSMAN IS SOUNDING THE ALARM ABOUT HIS PARTY'S PROSPECTS IN NOVEMBER. DEMOCRAT SETH MAGAZINER TELLS 12 NEWS POLITICS EDITOR TED NESI... LOCAL SUPPORTERS OF KAMALA HARRIS NEED TO DO MORE, IF THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO WIN. TED JOINS US NOW WITH THE INTERVIEW. (TED) WHILE MOST PROMINENT DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TALKING UP THE PARTY'S IMPROVED PROSPECTS UNDER HARRIS... CONGRESSMAN MAGAZINER TELLS ME, HE THINKS TOO MANY IN HIS PARTY ARE GETTING *OVERCONFIDENT.
