11:00 pm
all of our viewers joining us here in the united states. and all around the world. i'm rosemary church, this is cnn newsroom. we begin this hour with the end of a three decade career. and the u.s. congress for new york democrat, carolyn maloney. cnn protects her colleague, joey nadler, will win the democratic primary for states nearly drawn 12 congressional district. now they're and maloney are both part for the regrets. she is the chair of the house
11:01 pm
oversight committee. he heads up the judicial committee. the race had evolved into nasty name calling. but now they're took the high road during his victory speech. >> this district does not belong to me, or to my opponents for that matter, it belongs only to the voters of this district. to new yorkers who get up every day, busy themselves a building better fair suit. those new yorkers get to choose who best represents the valleys of the city. and you know what? i think the voters made themselves clear tonight. >> in florida, cnn projects vow demings will win the democratic senate primary to take on and republican marco rubio and the november midterm elections. demings has certain in the house since 2017. before that, she was the police chief of orlando.
11:02 pm
and cnn projects, charlie crist, will win the democratic governor primary. he will take on incumbent republican, ron desantis. crist was elected governor in 2006 when he was a republican. he's been serving in the u.s. house since 2017. >> but no mistake about it. because this guy wants to be president of the united states of america, and everybody knows it. however, when we defeat him on november 8th, that show is over. enough. >> as you just heard, desantis is widely expected to run for president in 2024. he held his own rally, tuesday night. touting his accomplishments as governor. and with a 132 million dollar campaign war chest. he says he's just getting started. also in florida, former u.s. president, donald trump knew lawsuit stemming from the fbi search of mar-a-lago. it is getting pushback from a
11:03 pm
federal judge. that judge said a friday deadline for trump's lawyers to clarify the request for a special master to review evidence seized by the fbi. it comes as we are learning about a letter from the national archive to trump's legal team. it confirms more than 700 pages marked classified and special access. we are recovered from mar-a-lago by the archives team in january. according to that letter. archives officials, share the documents with the intelligence community. back in may. so an assessment could be done on potential damage over how the trump handled the classified materials. we're joining me now from los angeles, host of the mekelle show, political commentator mekelle himself. and from washington, former republican congressman, now cnn political commentator. charlie dent. welcome to you both.
11:04 pm
>> good evening. >> so, moe kelly, i want to start with you. get your reaction to jerry nadler defeating carolyn maloney. in new york's 12th district primary. new york's redistricting tobacco paid to against each other. and they got pretty nasty, didn't it? but what might nadler's win over maloney signal to the democratic party. what damage has been done by this bitter fight, do you think? >> it was a very weird race. i would say it's both significant and insignificant. significant in the way that someone's long congressional political career, probably will come to an end tonight. and we see that it is not jerry nadler. but i would say that it is insignificant because we are not exactly sure whether the father of leveling the party, or the younger democrats, are going to continue to support this particular leadership within the inter party politics. when they still want the leaders of the democratic party to be now they're and company.
11:05 pm
so, i think that remains to be seen. it was a nasty race and it is good to see congressman another rise above it in his acceptance speech. but i'm not so sure that we know if this is gonna be the future of the party given the redistricting. >> charlie, governor on the scientists will face democrat charlie chris and will be one of the most costly watch contests and the country come november. the class was, as reported, once republican governor himself. he's going up against the darling of the republican party. and the man likely to run for president in 2024. so, how close might this race get, do you think? and how likely is it that is next mostly division member of this franchise republicans. >> i have to handicap this as the race of favor, ron desantis, who's very well capitalized. as you mentioned, the castle $430 million in the bank. ready to go. he has a record that he can run on. whether he likes on he can run on his record.
11:06 pm
and charlie crist was well known to. but florida is still a state that is certainly leaning more republican. but this still, i would call it, a deep red state by any means. so, look, we don't know just how the issues will play out. but this environment does favor republicans. but, democrats have something for their advantage as well. i mean the dobbs decision on abortion, is certainly energized and intensify the democratic base. and will likely swipe turnout to higher level than you would ordinarily see in the midterm election. having said, that i do see it as an uphill climb for charlie crist. when he and ron desantis in this environment. that being said i think it can be a close race. >> well kelly, which at city think charlie has here? >> i think it is a really uphill climb. i really can't disagree with dented that regard. i would say that although florida is not his fairly a highly red state.
11:07 pm
it is a very particularly red state. what i mean by that is your publican governor, secretary of state, attorney general, both houses and both chambers of the state legislature. both u.s. senators. they are republicans. democrats haven't shown that they can win a statewide election in quite some time. charlie -- -- lost to him in 2019. and rhonda santas is more pop than he was in 2018 when iran. so it is definitely an uphill battle. not insurmountable, but definitely uphill. >> charlie, democratic congresswoman, val demings is projected to win the democratic senate primary. and challenging committee gop senator, marco rubio, who's already putting out negative ads about her. what are demings chances in the very republican state of florida? >> i have to say the same thing i said about the governor race. i still say advantage tomorrow will be. yes she is a strong candidate,
11:08 pm
although again this is florida, which as you pointed out democrats have had trouble winning statewide elections. for sometime now. in florida. and so i do think that marco rubio comes in with a strong advantage. again, the same issues, the dobson certainly going to affect things. it's a big stunt that donald trump projects himself into the midterm election. and becomes part of the conversation. that is not something you want there marco rubio. still, but look at history, look at these midterms typically go. i still see a strong advantage for rubio. but again, it is florida, again the roads can be closer than republicans would like. >> do you think that move can give rubberized money? >> i think. so marco rubio can make a mistake. val demings is beloved in florida. i think that she appeals more to a centrist, or maybe just a moderate conservative than
11:09 pm
other candidates before, said she is a former police chief. she writes harley's. i mean, she can appeal and adair herself to republicans and marco rubio can make one mistake, which could change the conjecture of that election. >> interesting. charlie, i don't want to turn now to the ongoing investigation into highly classified documents found at the florida home of donald trump. an ally of the former u.s. president published a letter online from the national archives that was said to trump's legal team concerning and confirming that more than 700 pages of classified documents were recovered from mar-a-lago. back in january. what's possible purpose would that have served other than emphasizing the fact that these classified documents could have very well posed a risk to national security by being stored in his home? >> well, i am completely mystified that anyone, including a former president of the united states, could walk
11:10 pm
out of a government meant building with classified material. the way classified materials handled by those who have had the privilege to pets here is that it is kept in a secure containment facility where we can actually view the material. it is paper. we are not looking at outdoor. next you turn in your electronics. you can't enter the room. we look at the paper, you read it, you can ask questions, then you head back and you walk out of the room. no one would ever think of taking it classified material with them. of course, a government man, would show up to your door the mending its return. so the fact that trump's how lies are acknowledging that he had hundreds of pages of classified material. i think, you know, is a very serious problem for the president. many people have lost a reputations, and their careers. over classified material. questions there's a former president above the law? if you're going to be held to
11:11 pm
account? like anybody else who committed the same types of transgressions. could be in serious trouble. i think the big question is, what was his motivation and what was intent? how did this get down? trump will probably blame others for being packed and sent to his place, but at the end of the day, he's responsible. >> we still don't know a lot of those answers yet. -- other investigation into donald trump going? >> i think it is more of the same, i've yet to see any inclination of this country that it wants to prosecute a former president, but if there was going to be one, it would be donald trump. i think yes on this in the sense that he doesn't deny the classified information. i think department of justice removed that classified information. and fbi information from mar-a-lago. it is what it is. the balls and now the court of the department of justice. whether they want to make that next move. >> all right, moe kelly,
11:12 pm
charlie dent, many thanks to both. we're going to talk again in the next hour. so you guys. >> thanks rosemary. >> while the u.s. military has says a cannot could carry out precision airstrikes on iran-backed groups and syria. president joe biden ordered the strikes, in there is or on bunkers used by groups tied to iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps. u.s. central command says no one was killed, the strikes are meant to defend and protect american forces from attacks like one on august 15th. when the drone strike targeted a compound run by u.s. back syrian opposition fighters. still to come, ukraine is celebrating independence day. wow locked in a fight for its very existence. we will look at where the war stands right now. six months after russia's invasion.
11:14 pm
11:15 pm
families are struggling with inflation and congress and president biden just did something about it. signing the inflation reduction act. it means lower drug costs for millions and ramps up production of american-made clean energy, bringing down monthly energy costs for families. and it's the boldest action on climate change we've ever seen. it means lower costs for us and a brighter future for them. a historic win that will bring relief to millions of people.
11:16 pm
11:17 pm
it's independence day in ukraine. but this year, the holiday comes with a sense of dread, but also defiance. security has been increased across the country, amid warnings that russia could launch major strikes on civilian and government targets. ukrainian officials are also urging people to take extra precautions and pay attention to air raid sirens. the national holiday also coming exactly six months since russia's invasion, with moscow's hope for a swift victory claps in the face of stiff ukrainian resistance. on tuesday, president volodymyr zelenskyy said ukraine will continue to fight, promising to
11:18 pm
retake all russian occupied territory including crimea, which moscow illegally annexed back in 2014. the many hours ahead, the u.s. is expected to announce its largest ever security package for ukraine, with around three billion dollars. a u.s. official tells cnn it will include western air defense systems,, as well as stockpiles of ammunition. it also earmarks money for training and maintenance. ukraine's president says foreign support is critical for his country to stay in the fight. >> [interpreter] we need to be clearly aware that as soon as the world becomes tired of this war, it is gonna be a great threat to the whole world, and the threat of an eyeliner ukraine. so, we are grateful for any kind of assistance. we need more of it, that is true. [end of translation] >> jill dougherty is a cnn
11:19 pm
contributor and a former cnn moscow bureau chief. she's also an adjunct professor at georgetown university, and she joins me now from washington. always good to have a new with us. >> thank you, i'm very glad to be here. >> so, jill, in a video address tuesday evening ukraine's president zelenskyy warned of the likelihood of brutal russian strikes wednesday, when the country marks both its independence day, and six months of war with russia. what do you think president putin is planning for ukraine in the coming hours, particularly in the wake of the murder of aleksandr dugin but's daughter darya dugina who is killed by a car bomb planted under the vehicle as she was driving. >> the, first is anybody's guess. but, you have to, listening to russian officials, listening to russian state control media, you'd have to believe that they want to retaliate in some way against ukraine. and, as you pointed out, we've got to anniversaries, six
11:20 pm
months of the war, and since 1991, they're independents all coming this week. so, this all kinds of leads to the conclusion that there would be something. the concern, i think from the united states at least, is that it could be directed against individual citizens, you know, citizens as opposed to the military. that could be very dangerous. but, you know, i think also we have to watch also what's going on in russia. and i do think that they were television could also be against people who are opposed to the war and opposed to putin, because that already is kind of part of the drumbeat that you are hearing from the media and from officials. >> right, and after calling on ukrainians to respect the curfew and respond to any air raid signals that they hear, president zelenskyy pledged to retaliate against any russian attack. do you see this as a turning
11:21 pm
point in the war? >> you, know i do see this particular moment as a turning point generally, the war is a turning point in the entire world. it really has changed everything. and i think what's really -- i was thinking about this today, very much with this anniversary, that everything has turned out differently from the way anyone had expected it. in fact, a lot of the people did not expect. so, in that the individual war right now, if you look at the situation, it is not really going very far. things are not changing. it looks as if both sides are trying to figure out exactly what they can do militarily. but i do think -- this is a pause before we get into even more fighting. and here we are, six months, you know, after a war that began that was supposed to last
11:22 pm
a few days. and now, the murder of dugina, the daughter of that very ultra right philosopher, there are many ways are describing him, but basically an ideological, is from another -- i think it's throwing gasoline on the fire of what's happening. so, this is a dangerous moment. >> and on that very subject russian intelligence was very quick to point the finger at ukraine before that car bomb that killed darya dugina. but it just as well could have been someone within russia. you've lived in the country, and studied russia extensively, who do you think may have been behind this bombing? who are the possible suspects? the this has resulted in an escalating the war, in hardening those in russia against the war in ukraine. >> right. >> to really make a more difficult situation for the
11:23 pm
ukrainian neighbor. >> that's very true. and, you know, there are a lot of factions in russia right now, who have various positions. even though, you know, across the board, they support the war. but there are some people who tend to believe that it may not, be it could be a mistake. or it could be the wrong decision right now. but you also have on the dugin side, you have people who are very, you know, flagrantly ultra conservative. who we believe that actually putin is not being tough enough on the ukrainians. and what they want to do is up the ante and attack even more. and so, there is a possibility that there could be some inter nesn fighting among them, and that someone wanted to at least send a message. and we still don't know whether was to kill the daughter or the father, that's another factor. but whatever it is, it has
11:24 pm
shaken things up very, very much. >> yeah, we will be watching closely. jill dougherty, many thanks for your analysis as always. well, primaries in two of america's most popular states testing oh redrawn political maps and shaping the races will see in the upcoming midterm elections. back in just a moment. the odds of the universe forming your parents meeting and birthing you is basically zero. so what is life but chance, and every moment... a t. so what is life but chance, like hearing your alarm. betting if the milk, is still milk. betting on theurability of grocery bags. and tting when politics will come up at dinner. yes we all bet on the game ofife, but li doesn't offer you $150 in free bets when you bet just $5. so when it comes to the nfl. bet on america's number one sportsbook.

11:29 pm
it was a battle that -- she never wanted, and a battle she lost a fellow incumbent jerry nadler in new york's 12th district. each of the democratic titans shared powerful committees, but they were forced into an upper manhattan clash due to redistricting. in florida, representative val demings has won the democratic senate primary by a landslide. the former orlando police chief will face incumbent republican senator marco rubio in the midterms, and florida has also chosen house democrat charlie crist to take on republican incumbent governor ron desantis come november. democrats are eager to slow down desantis's head of his rumored presidential bid in 2024. and i want to bring in cnn senior political analysis ron brownstein, who is senior editor at the atlantic. good to see you, ron. i,. rosemary all right, let's start with those key races from
11:30 pm
tuesday. nice that could single things to come in november's midterm elections. the race everyone is watching in november is the one that puts incumbent florida governor ron desantis up against democrat charlie crist, once a republican florida governor. himself does crist have any chance going up against the darling of the party in the state do you think? while, obviously, there's election is always a chance but it's very hard for me. florida is known for being a state that was really on the knife's edge with photo finish statewide elections year after year for the governor and senate 20 teen. ron desantis winning the governor race over x. got winning by just a tiny fraction of 1%. to a state that now, i think, leads clearly towards the republicans. and, christ, the crist freed race. the primary race there. it was an interesting microcosm in the race. it was always reminiscent of what happened in 2020.
11:31 pm
desantis really embodies a trump era republican party. which has moved in a very very polarizing direction. on a broad array of cultural issues. and the theme of the democratic party is to respond with that with a candidate that is aimed at mobilizing your own base. which is essentially the nikki freed argument. are the response that with an argument who can more effectively reassure center-right voters that feel put off by the severity and intensity of the new republican agenda. 2020 democrats faced a choice in the presidential race, essentially. between sanders and biden. they chose biden. again reported they chose christ. who is a reassurance candidate over freed who marketed herself as mobilization candidate. >> and also val demings, will go against the incumbent gop senator marco rubio in november. which has to she have? same story do you think? >> that's an excellent more competitive. florida, as i said, has moved
11:32 pm
out of the absolutely toss-up to become a republican-leaning state. trump has energized a blue collar base. and a small town. florida and also the heavy central and south american population of south florida has moved away from the gop. i again, we saw tonight, this new york special election is that there is a lot of energy on the abortion issue, as well as gun control and all the issues related to democracy, and the january six committee. that does get demings, at least, a fighting chance. although rubio's playing the favorite in that race. >> interesting, what messages being sent to the democratic party jerry nadler's win? fellow veteran democrat, carolyn maloney. >> he said, what side, hometown. you have a powerhouse on the side. coy against powerhouse on the west side of manhattan.
11:33 pm
with jerry nadler. now they're winds. i don't think there is a big ideological message, but in some ways, to me, the real message that both them entirely squeezed out the third candidate in the race. who was a 38 year old law professor and lawyer literally half their age. and me, there was a candidate tonight who got nominated for the house race florida. he is their first generation z nominee. a 25-year-old. but by and large i thought the new york race was a nice revealing microcosm of the challenges that democrats are facing. they are now party increasingly depicted and depended and younger voters. generation z and millennials will be a significantly larger share of the electorate than they were in the years before. and yet, as you, know the leadership of the democratic party is very gray. it's really tilted for a candidate to with leaders in her 70s, like biden, pelosi, and schumer. this is another example of that. >> interesting point. ron, has all this plays out, so
11:34 pm
to just on trump's attempt to get ahead of the fbi. search of his florida home. which found an abundance of classified documents and early august. but now we are learning that many more hundreds of sensitive documents were also recovered in january. now, trump's new lawsuit, is getting pushback from a federal judge who has said a friday deadline for trump lawyers to clarify the request for a special master to review the seized evidence. where do you see all of this going? >> well, it clearly is part of the reason. all of the issues around the revelation january 6th and. this i think they're part of the reason why the landscape looks different in the midterm election. then it did six or eight months ago. to me, one of the most revealing parts of this entire episode. was the rush by congressional republicans to defend trump and to basically attacked the justice department. attack the fbi. even before they knew anything
11:35 pm
about what was taken out or what's important issues were underlined the decision to execute that search warrant. to me, i've mentioned a very clear signal that if trump becomes president again congressional republicans will be even less willing to constrain him than they were the first time. we saw in that new poll that came out from nbc than by a democratic and republican for this week. that threats to democracy had moved past even inflation as a concern among voters, predominantly democratic voters. and i think it is part of the issues, the concerns about the democracy, the concerns about gun violence, and the concerns overturning roe. which is allowed democrats get back in the game. when you that specialist the night upstate new york. the republicans were expected to win. instead, as in nebraska, and
11:36 pm
minnesota, and alaska. the democratic candidate outperformed expectations. most of the road decision. and then they won that race. and so, doesn't it race all the advantages that republicans have in the midterms history of inflation. and binds approval rating. but clearly, we are in a different environment. and concerns about democracy along with abortion and guns are the principal reasons why. >> all right. ron brownstein, many thanks for analysis. >> americans are struggling with student loan debt. make it some relief soon. cnn has learned the biden administration is leaning towards canceling up to $10,000 in student loan debt from borrows owning less than $125,000 a year. an official announcement is expected later today. white house officials also leaning towards a final extension of the freeze of federal loan repayments. that has been in place in 2020. if that happens, payments will

two men could face life in prison after being found guilty of conspiring to kidnap michigan's democratic governor in 2020. a federal jury also found the men guilty of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction in their plan. prosecutors say they wanted to set up his second american civil war. cnn's jeanne casarez has more on how the trial ended. >> two men, convicted of conspiracies to use a weapon of mass destruction and kidnap the governor of michigan, gretchen whitmer. now facing the possibility of life in prison. >> the verdict confirms that this plot was very serious, very dangerous. >> prosecutors say in the summer of 2020 adam fox and barry croft junior went to the governor's vacation home with coconspirators to plan an attack. a witness testified when idea was to kidnap whitmer and put her adrift on a boat in lake michigan. another was to try her for
11:43 pm
treason. >> the defendant in this case believe that their anti government views justify violence. today's verdict is a clear example that they were wrong and that assessment. >> adam fox, who prosecutors say was the ringleader was it -- not a taser and ordered $400,000 of explosives from an undercover fbi agent. prosecutors say the two were part of a group training in combat tactics. vaccinating assaults in cars with rifles and live ammo. that's an ending bombs and trying to recruit others. you can't just bar in ar-15 and body armor go to governor. you can't anybody. you certainly can't make bombs that are meant to maim and kill people. a prosecutor said during closing arguments. an fbi informant known as, big ben, was a key witness. he cities with the two men when they conducted surveillance of the governor's on this home.
11:44 pm
prosecutors say they plotted to pop a bridge to make it harder for law enforcement to one response to the kidnapping. >> no public officials should have to contend with what governor whitmer had to. >> the defense argued entrapment. saying they didn't actually greets the kidnapping and was being targeted for his extreme anti government views. they like to walk up in a cage, not because he committed this crime, but because they are afraid of the things that have come out of his mouth, cross lawyer said. hannah fox's attorney told the attorney, he talked a big game. but talk is just talk. adam foxx took no affirmative steps to achieve the ends. and earlier trial ended in 100, but this time, the jurors didn't buy it. >> this isn't the outcome we wanted. there's more work to be done. in 2020, governor whitmer blamed incendiary political rhetoric forgiving groups like these a green light for violence. >> stand back, and stand by.
11:45 pm
>> hate groups heard the president's words not as a rebuke, but as a rallying cry. as a call to action. >> >> whitmer saying the statement after the verdict. those who seek to divide us will be held accountable. plots against public officials and threat that the fbi are a disturbing extension of radicalized domestic terrorism. jean casarez, cnn, new york. coming up next, nearly 1 million ukrainians have fled to germany since the start of rushes in or on ukraine. we will hear from some of them. and the war in ukraine is impacting the world's food supply. why the conflict is resulting in millions and the horn of africa going hungry. that is next. why do nearly one million businesses choose stamps.com to mail and ship?
