federal prosecutor, against rick succone, veteran state legislator, both pitching for white working-class and blue collar workers known as reagan democrats and support donald trump. lamb is a moderate who supports the second amendment hammering away at local issues, unionized area, pensions, security and medicare. he wants to dump nancy pelosi so he is not a progressive, trying to separate himself from the democrats. he was donald trump before trump was trump, last night he went after liberal saying they, quote, hatred he said for god. he is in line with the president. lamb has gone out of his way not mentioning the president after name saying he's not running against donald trump. >> this is a time in our country many of our most important promises are up for grabs, not just minors but all organized labor, pensions of many labor unions and things like social

security and medicare. >> this is an open seat, we have national level interest and you can expect things to tighten up. as a political scientist you assume there will be a lot of interest, a lot of money will pour in and the race will be tight. >> reporter: for 16 years it was represented by tim murphy who was caught up in a sex scandal. yesterday donald trump junior visited along with succone a chocolate factory, wearing those funny nets to keep their hair from falling into the chocolate and at that event the president said this is not a referendum on his father. >> it is a special election, in 2018 you have years of obstructionist policies. it can go like that.

>> what will go like that is this district, the supreme court here, they are redistricting the state, this will disappear in coming months so we will see what happens, a petition to get into another district. despite the attention, no more district in a few months. rob: a look at what might happen in 2018. jillian: hairnets never look good on anyone. rob: unless you have really bad hair. jillian: donald trump looking at what the border wall might look like, the visit coming during a sanctuary showdown with california. we are live with what to expect. rob: unleashing the full arsenal

rob: polls opening in pennsylvania, the latest battleground in the fight over the white house. jillian: rick succone and connor lamb in a race to replace tim murphy. can republicans stop a democrat from taking a district donald trump won?

rob: connor lamb is not much of a democrat which in the district like this that was very conservative in 2016 is probably a good thing for the democrats, a good little scheme they have here. >> reporter: he has been the most competitive democrat in the 18th congressional district in a long time. he has a good background and the type of rhetoric ken's confused folks which many people think he is campaigning like a republican. the choice voters have in a few hours is will his record match the rhetoric? the fact that he has been saying he is pro-second amendment congressman matters in this district and has come saying he won't vote for nancy pelosi. in the closing minutes of this race people will decide is that real rhetoric or will he be somebody who will vote for the district? jillian: donald trump won by 20

points in 2016. what will it say? what is the message the democrat comes away with? >> two things. elections are always binary. at its base we have a choice between candidate rick succone and candidate connor lamb. whatever happens after the polls close both parties will be analyzing this saying what does it mean for the midterm elections? it will be very difficult for democrats if they realize the connor lamb recipe is a good recipe for success. lamb was nominated in a pragmatic process but he wasn't challenged by the progressive left, he didn't have to face the contestant democratic primary. even if it is a success for the democrats it will be fraught with error because their base will not allow candidates like connor lamb to become the nominee.

rob: he has a good shot at winning this even if the voter turnout is low which would be better for republicans in the situation. my question is an underlying theory that the president is not as crazy about succone as he might appear to be by stumping for him and connor lamb's policy and decisionmaking reminds me of trump in some ways. he has that blended almost neither party, prounion but conservative on other things. >> he has been effective, recognize trump had success, won by 20 points. you look at lamb, give him and his campaign credit in terms of making a race competitive that no one thought would be competitive a few months back. jillian: who do you think wins? >> tough question. i think either candidate can win. i think they will win by one or two points.

the information for this thing as odd as it sounds is available out there. what our police doing? any time you have something like this, an explosive device involved in a crime like this you are looking at a forensics review that is incredibly painstaking, very labor-intensive, sweeping up the crime scene, looking at anything from the components of the explosive device and it can be very small. the lockerbie bombing from all those years ago was eventually resolved, tiny pieces of fragments of the close of device. they are looking at that? maybe you find a tiny component with a serial number, you walk that back and the painstaking effort to figure out the point of purchase and then they will get this and solve it. the linkages between the victims, there is a random act

like the dc sniper. this is an intensive lift, >> they are making a statement of technology by bombing, there is a motive here. is a totally random? >> i hate to speculate on this? whether it is this or a terrorism investigation you got to build on evidence, facts, you never want to build on an assumption, follow this assumption, that creates a shaky foundation. the unit bomber is a good example. it took a long time to resolve and it wasn't resolved until he sent out his manifesto. sometimes you need an element of

luck. jillian: people watching who live in this area, what is your advice? >> the randomness, potential for randomness is a frightening thing for a community. i was in the dc area during the sniper attacks and that set people on edge, the apparent randomness of it all. you got to keep busy living. you can't get paralyzed by fear. the other part goes back to the saying if you see something say something, don't touch the soundbite. if you are not aware where the package comes from, these appear to have been dropped off at night. it is tough to do but people have to be on hyper alert. totally get to the point they identify what the linkages are. jillian: the white house firing back at critics saying the white

7000 inmates in that prison at any time. last go around, 1200 had eligibility to vote and there is this program in place. this should be a serious consideration considering the corruption in illinois. >> what is your response? >> people who are in jail, not in prison. they have presumption of innocence, they are afforded their right to vote. just because they are incarcerated doesn't mean they shouldn't perform their right to vote. it is a basic american tenets. jillian: two state you never lose the right to vote, maine and vermont and then there are 14 states that restore voting rights after release. as far as other states go it is a gray area. what should be done about this? >> i'm in favor of them having the right to vote post release. there should be more clear rules
