in scheduled for 2:00 p.m. eastern. we'll have that for you live when he starts on our companion network c-span2. today is primary day in a number of states. here's a look at the race in west virginia. nia race, we turnw the "charleston

gazette," reporter there. good morning. thank you now for joining us. guest: good morning. host: take us to the primary and explain who is facing off your and who is expected to be leading in the polls at the end of the night tonight. guest: there are six candidates right now in the republican primary. ed jenkins, -- there is catherine morrissey, evan jenkins, and don blankenship. dependingeally very on which campaign is releasing them and when they came out. i try to avoid the polls, and i think it is anyone's game coming into tonight.

host: the president himself getting into the roles, -- race, cannot make it.ship guest: don blankenship with the when theysey energy owned a mine, and the mind exploded, and miners died underground. he did not go to jail technically in connection with wasexplosion, but he convicted of conspiring to violate mine safety and health laws in the months leading up to the explosion, so that explosion was in 2010 through he went to jail and was just released this year, and people are worried that with someone with that kind of baggage, he has a long-standing history of mine,tory problems in his you might run into some problems like roy moore had in alabama, where this long and troubled history might just catch up with him. host: we've seen national

headline saying don bouygues ship is coming on as some of the internal pool. what has been his pitch or his message? now, evan jenkins and patrick morrisey, really everyone in the race, is establishing their latency to normal trump, although one might say don blankenship is the most -- he has this antiestablishment, he is constantly in a feud through the media with mitch mcconnell, he has a checkered label history, outsider really the economics guy. evan jacobs and patrick morrisey have been in politics for some time. patrick morrisey was lobbying in 2010, 2012. evan jenkins has been in congress throughout 2011. so i think don blankenship is trying to take on the drain the "i am a victim of the war on coal," and really

jenkins andcob patrick morrisey as the swamp, if you will. host: president trump tweeting "remember alabama" in the primary. an effort byn patrick morrisey had evan jenkins to cease-fire on each other and turn on don blankenship? guest: no, that has been one of parts isinteresting that evan jenkins and patrick morrisey go at it and add it in all of these debates. they're constantly going after one another, and it was not until this week when people started talking about don blankenship's time in federal prison, which you would think would be the most talked about part of the race. just yesterday, we asked evan jenkins, do you maybe regret turning so much fire against patrick morrisey and perhaps leaving a door open for don blankenship, and even the question did not get a straight answer there seems to be a

calculus that they are both valuable, not from don blankenship, but that strategy remains to be seen tonight. how have democrats and joe manchin try to play this as we have seen all of this fire back and forth on the republican side? guest: the most interesting thing from the democrats as the super pac that has gotten involved, it is called duty and country, and it is listed on the same address of the major senate democrat in the primary. about $1.85ent million on this primary loan. some of that money has gone for patrick morrisey, but just about all of it has then really pounding evan jenkins, and a lot of negative on him. it seems to have really had an effect on the perception of him. you see the democrats vis-à-vis both washington, d.c. and this

known figure, ruth goodwin, a former u.s. attorney, really getting themselves involved in the primary, so we're still seeing how it will play out. host: before we let you go to your primary day stories and the work you have to do around the state, any other congressional primary which we watching here as we look in on west virginia? guest: i think jenkins has actually vacated the seat in the third district, so honestly, i have lost track, both on the republican and democratic side, but you have a lot of interesting names, interesting dynamics down there. the leading democrat is a real populist. he voted for donald trump in 2016, and he has caused a lot of polarization in the state. meanwhile, you have three or four really well known political figures fighting on the republican side, so we are seeing who will make their way out. zuckerman is with the "charleston
