it's good to be with you. i'm katy tur. voters are casting ballots in arkansas, minnesota and georgia, hence the music you hear. which is where we begin today, in georgia. which flipped blue in 2020. it is a big test down there of two political ties. number one, donald trump's ability to play king-maker within the republican party and, two, whether republican voters believe donald trump's big lie that he won the election in 2020. incumbent governor brian kemp refused to overturn the will of

georgia voters. for that, donald trump is trying to exact revenge, endorsing david perdue. as of now, kemp is leading perdue by a wide margin in the polls, perhaps suggesting there are limits to both trump's influence and his lives. and there could be a matter of elect-ability, case in point, brad raffensperger, the secretary of state who infamously quote tried to find the votes trump needed to win, she facing a tough re-election race with strong competition. >> on top of it all, record-breaking turnout that will give both parties a good idea of what they can prepare for come november and perhaps what the country can prepare for come 2024. joining me now from georgia is nbc news senior national political reporter mark kaputo,

a voter registration group, and tia mitchell, washington correspondent, for the atlanta journal constitution. let's start with the reporting. mark, when you are looking at these races, the ideas that it's testing two big political wins. one that donald trump plays king-maker, two, the election was stolen and it's exemplified so well in two of the biggest races in that state. what you can tell us about what you are learning today? >> reporter: well, what i can tell you that i have been learning quite some time in georgia, there is a bit of fatigue among republicans with donald trump's involvement in the primary. after lot of us say, look, we love donald trump. they voted for him as president. as for him recruiting senator david perdue to run against governor brian kemp. as for him getting involved up and down the ballot. they wish he would back off and take a little time. when you look at the polling, the majority believe the election was stolen. there was no evidence for that,

no persuasive evidence for it, whether that's a positive social response by it, people are saying it because it's a part of the lit you are just or they believe it or not. it's a itself matter. the reality is this is a firm relief expressed in the republican party and manifest. but your point in the secretary of state's race, brad hampbts raffensberger is looking than in 2021, while a lot of us thought he would not make it to the mid-terms. now it looks like a beast to the runoffs. >> tia, what can you tell us will likely by the ration for governor kemp and stacey abrams? there has been a lot of talk about something stacey abrams said over the weekend. how perdue responded to that. the way he responded to it. what kemp is saying about stacey abrams not just in the race for governor but also saying that she'll never be president, which she is not currently running for. >> yeah, it's interesting how

the different ways republicans are trying to attack stacey abrams. her message she previewed in the news conference, she will be a unifier. it's all about quote/unquote one georgia. she says she can address the ways that georgia lags eternal mortality, not extending medicaid, wages, in ways that will benefit everyone without raising taxes. now, she did say she was inelegant in saying that georgia was the worst state to live in, when she tried to bring that point home. that's the cost of republicans to pounce on her. a part of abrams' message is, she says that republicans, she puts both david perdue and brian kemp in the same box. they're so focused on her, attacking her as an individual without having a plan to address some of the issues she raised. so the question in the coming months will be, of course, whether voters think they want to give brian kemp another term, seeing some of the conservative

things he's championed. he's also raised taxes and lower gas prices and things like that, or do they they abrams who is on a much more prockive platform, do they want to give her the rings of the state of georgia? >> we see record-breaking turnout for this primary on both sides for democrats and for republicans. this is even more turnout than for the 2020 election. what does that indicate from a voting perspective on what to expect for november? >> i think what it indicates is that, one, the entire country, almost the entire world has been talking to georgia voters. they're talking about the power of georgia voters and they believe it. they understand it. not only have we created the condition that allowed us to get the first african-american woman to serve on the supreme court but 80% of american households

have some relief through the american rescue plan because of the election of ossoff and warknock. georgia voters know their vote is powerful. number one. number two, we have seen almost 400 anti-voting bills in 49 of the 46. the topic of voter suppression and combat voter suppression and overcome voter suppression has been top of mine because georgia was the first state to pass the anti-voting laws. georgia voters know the only way to neutralize the impact of the trashed anti-voting bills is to show up in overwhelming numbers. with the sophisticated nature of our organization and groups like ours, we have been at this since january 6th. right. so that work is paying off. so while the economy is still at the top of most voters' minds, democracy is absolutely at the top of find for georgia voters, regardless of race and age. >> as i understand it, republicans are voting in record

numbers as well. what sort of turnout would you want to see from the democrats today and with the early voing as well, the absentee ballots that would make you feel confident about the results in november. >> let me start by saying it's a very much of an actor. i want to be clear about that. that what we are seeing. i want to continue to see the trends that we have been seeing. that we are seeing 217% increase in turnout over 2018 numbers. we've seen over 150% increase in turnout over 2020's numbers. we've added a million more voters since the pandemic has begun. so what i'd like to see is at least a match. right now there are about 100,000 votes difference between the republican turnout and democratic turnout. it can be explained by a couple of things, one, democrats

pulling republican ballots because the energy and enthusiasm on there. i think people understand and appreciate the unique threat jody heights presents, the threat david perdue presents. they want to frustrate that outcome. so there are a lot of this i think so that are happening here. but if we continue to see the trends that we do see, i'll be very happy tonight. >> mark, when are you talking to people. i wonder who gets action vamthed what stacey abrams said. some people in georgia say it's not better here, it could be bet fer terms of death rate and other factors stacey abrams mentioned or is it the independent voters who say, well you tell me? what are you hearing? are you saying, are they agreeing with that? or i don't want to vote for that i want to vote for someone else? >> well, you didn't hear the applause line for stacy abrams' line when she gave it. so there are a number of people that agree with her. i don't want to do a one woman

or a two-woman focus group. i went to the waffle house the other woman. i talked to two of the waitresses, black men. and what i thought was interesting there is they like stacey abrams, they like rafael warknock. they felt as if politics and the political system was not delivering to them. they felt like, you know what, it's not like they will vote for brian kemp for governor, it's not like this they will vote for hershel walker. both said they may not vote at all. that's what democrats have a feeling of apathy and you can be engaged. i think that's something to watch out for. >> no offense no watch him house, if you get breakfast in atlanta, my personal vote goes to home grown. thank you very much. let's focus now on alabama. voters there seem to have made an abrupt u-turn in the race for an open senate seat. current alabama congressman mo brooks who looked dead in the

water after donald trump unendorsed him for telling voters to move on from 2020 is now staging comeback. brooks is neck and neck with katie britt and mike durant. despite trump's anger, he is still embracing the former president and his big lie. >> you did tell me that you went into a single election after january. >> donald trump used in our conversations the words you said and talk about being reinstated. if you had an election stolen from you, you would want to be reinstated so that justice is done. what donald trump talked about with me is not illegal in anyway, shape or form. although, the news media seems to want to distort it every way. he has the right to have his view. his view is he out to be reinstated the election in his view and mind was someen from him in november of 2020. >> joining me from huntsville, alabama, is nbc correspondent

vaughan hilliard. that was an interesting conversation. first off, i want you to give me the state of the race. then i want you to focus on the other parts of the conversation you had with mo brooks and his refusal to appear in front of the january 6th committee. >> reporter: right. katie, two things are happening in parallel. he has one of five republicans, who have been suspended by the january 6th committee. now, he says he hasn't been served it yet. we know the january 6th committee wanted to sit down, do a deposition and talk with mo brooks here. all of this is happening as today's primary, alabama senate race, could potentially send mel brooks to a runoff here. there are three individuals in this race. mike durant, katie britt, a former aid to retiring senator richard shelby and congressman mo brooks. you can see these polling figures, two months after donald trump dropped his endorsement because his polk plummeted. look who is back there, mike

durant, in third there. he told us last night if it is mo brooks and katie britt, he would throw his weight behind brooks. suddenly republicans are looking at the potential nominee and future u.s. senator being congressman mo brooks. all of this the january 6th committee wants to talk to him. he has allegations and suggestions of evidence and fraud, which i kept asking him, then why not sit down with the january 6th committee and work through their questions and present whatever it is that he's got. take a listen. >> can you sit down with the january 6th committee? >> well, if they were to do it under terms and conditions i believe are more appropriate. certainly i am considering it more so than subpoena me in the midst of a campaign. >> i am interested why you will not sit down with the january 6th committee? >> i have tried to go through the steps required. most importantly, that it be done if public. not secret and clandestine.

>> if they would do a public hearing. you would do one. >> there are four parts, i get past one, sometimes two and you interrupt me before i can conclude. there is another bigger picture with respect to this january 6th committee. in my judgment along with the other republican colleague is the propaganda effort. it is not an effort to discern the truth. >> reporter: and, katie, that is where we know the january 6th committee would enjoy the opportunity to spend hours sitting down with mo brooks, who spoke just prior to former president trump did on january 6th and use the words that it was time to quote take names and kick ass. that is mo brooks, who has the potential of entering this runoff here in the next four months and potentially four weeks and being alabama's next u.s. senator. >> vaughan hilliard. thank you very much. on this primary day, voting rules in your state may have changed since 2020. the plan your vote tool is here to help you cast your ballot.

get key information on registration deadline, maim-in voting registration, what to bring with you on election day. head to nbcnews.com/plan your vote. always be prepared. tonight, steve kornacki takes to the big boards with msnbc tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern. still ahead, an isis plot to assassinate a president of the united states. what nbc news has learned about why a man living in ohio allegedly wanted to kill george bush and how he was allegedly planning to do it. and there is at least one confirmed case of four more being investigated. what the cdc says you should watch out for with monkey pox. later, breast cancer and a double mastectomy means she cannot breast-feed. now her baby is at risk. where the baby formula she needs is right now.

. we are following breaking news of an alleged plot to asass fate former preponderance george w. bush by a man the fbi says is on isis linked operative in ohio. joining me now is justice correspondent pete williams. this is an accidentally unsealed document. >> it was. although, i think this case is going to be much more public here. because we believe this man that has been accused of all of this is going to appear in court in a

short time. i think more documents will be unsealed. yes, briefly, the search warrant affidavit was unsealed and reported by forbes this morning. but what we now know is that this man's name and he entered the united states in september of 20. and sought a tourist visa in essence. the state tried to get immigration status to get a green card. this is all according to search warrant affidavit, which we have obtained. according to documents, he lived in the columbus, ohio area. the fbi initially got on to him. we are looking at pictures of president bush right now this part has nothing to do with president bush. the fbi says early on in this case, his main interest was in getting people into the u.s. illegally to make money. he told two fib february under cover operatives who met with him in april of last year, he would charge up to $40,000 to

get people smuggled into the u.s. not entitled to be here. now, in the original months of this investigation, it's quite clear he wasn't talking about any terrorist operation. as time went on, he began to tell the fbi operatives he had isis connections. he served isis in syria and iraq, driving vehicles loaded with explosives to be on the road so they can kill american service members. he had some tenuous connection to al baghdad, the isis leader. just within recent months, he began to talk about getting six iraqis into the u.s., that he said wanted to be involved in a plot to assassinate the former president and according to documents in february of this year, he flew down with the fbi's support, of course, he didn't know that at the time, flew down to dallas, drove past the entrance to the president's compound and took video with it from his cell phone. that's it, according to documents.

he never sent that video anywhere. he never got anybody smuggled into the u.s. he never had any capability of pulling this off, himself. but the fbi says he certainly has the intent to do so he is now in custody and will be in court in a short time. >> is that going to make a hard case, he only had the intents and was hands were held essentially, though he didn't know it by the fib if ib the whole time? >> no, i don't think so. because he did undertake what are called overt acts. he did fly down to texas. he did actually talk to people about trying to smuggle people in here. he did actually take the video, so, i mean, these cases can be a little tricky as we just recently saw in the case in the summer from minnesota, but, i think the fbi feels they got a solid case here. but that itself the essence of the charge. >> pete williams, thank you very much. the united states is releasing doses of a monkey pox vaccine

from the national stockpile as world health officials work to contain an outbreak of the rare disease. two more adults in utah are expected to contract the disease. both recently traveled overseas. joining me right now is nbc news correspondent gabe gutierrez. so, gabe what do we know? >> reporter: hey there, katy, the cdc expects some numbers to keep going up. public health officials around the world are watching this closely, but they stress that this virus is nowhere near as contagious as covid. precedented global spread of monkey pox has the cdc on alert. the action saying its confirmed one case in massachusetts and suspects four other infections in new york city, florida and utah. over the weekend, president biden weighed in. >> this is something that i'm not concerned about. >> he walked back that comment during his trip overseas. >> so i just don't think it rises to the level of the kind of concern that existed with

covid-19. >> reporter: monkey pox is a rear but potentially serious viral illness usually found in western central affect. but the world health organization has now identified around 200 confirmed or suspected monkey pox cases in 12 western countries. common symptoms include fever, aches, rashes, all over the body. it's rarely lethal. >> this disease has a rate of less than 1% in countries with weaker health systems. >> reporter: the cdc alerted gay and bisexual men monkey pox is spreading globally. they stress anyone can get it from close personal contact regardless of sexual orientation. >> it usually requires prolonged contact. we're not talking minutes. we're talking a long amount of time and direct contact with body fluids or lesions. >> reporter: the w.h.o. tells the associated president es the leading theory behind the spread of the disease appears to be transmission between gay and

bisexual men at two raids held in spain and belgium. public health officials say anyone can get this regardless of sexual orientation. >> thank you very much. what russia is doing in ukraine that the eu says could trigger a global food crisis and what allies told president biden about ukraine and taiwan on his first trip to asia as president. . find a new way. but birthdays still happen. fridays still call for s'mores. you have to make magic, and you're figuring out how to do that. what you don't have to figure out is where to shop. because while you're getting creative, walmart is doing what we always do. keeping prices low for you every day. so you can save money and live better. ♪ you see, son, with a little elbow grease, you can do just about anything.

. president biden is on his way home. he spent five days meeting with allies across asia. in japan, biden urged his indo pacific counterparts to do more to review russian aggression. >> it's a dark hour in our shared history. the russian brew unprovoked war against ukraine has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe. this is more than a european issue. it's a global issue. it appears to me putin is trying to extinguish the culture. he's not aiming at military targets any more. he is taking out every school, every church the natural history museum as if to try to

taiwan if china triggered taiwan. white house officials scramblinged to say there was no change in policy, that the president was simply communicating our long-standing support including through military supplies and arms to the taiwanese. and then president biden coming back to walk was asked once again about those remarks. here's how he had to say it. >> reporter: mr. president, would you send troops into taiwan? >> the policy has not changed at all. i stated that when i made my statement. >> reporter: so you see the president there doing a bit of cleanup, trying to make clear this was not a u.s. policy that has changed to intervene in taiwan. to the other element that you mentioned, katie, all of the speculation about the u.s. pressuring india to step up its

role in cutting off financing to russia and being more forceful in condemning president putin for his invasion. president biden during this trip not wanting to call out u.s. ally india publicly or put pressure on them in front of reporters, but president biden saying that this is a dark hour, not only for europe, but for the rest of the world and trying to make clear behind closed doors what the u.s. want ind 82 and other allies to do in terms of stepping up and being more forceful in pushing back against president putin. >> josh letterman, thank you very much. it is day 90 of russia's war on ukraine. here's what we know right now. russian troops are advancing the donbas, targeting grain warehouses, ports and other infrastructure critical to the world food supply chain. the president of the european commission accused russia of trying to cause a global food crisis. china is also getting involved, they conducted a joint military

exercise with russia earlier, sending bomber flights over east asia during president biden's visit to the region. on the nato front, leaders from sweden and finland are expected to arrive in turkey to address that country's objection to their applications to nato. nbc's richard engel has the latest from eastern ukraine. >> reporter: exactly three months ago today on february 24th, russia first launched its invasion of this country. now the fight is squarely located out here in the east of ukraine, in the donbas region. this is an artillery war now with the russian army and the ukrainian military exchanging artillery fire. it works like this, just down this road behind me, yesterday, russian troops managed to capture about half of a village and now they're fighting with ukrainian volunteers and soldiers to take of the rest of that village. can you hear some of that fire right now. and if the russians are able to take over the entire area, they

could then advance their artillery and put the place where i am standing right now within range and also several other larger ukrainian towns and villages. that's the way this fight has been working, with russian troops trying to take one particular area, one particular village and then slowly, slowly walking their artillery forward and they hope to, by doing this, to cut off this entire region. according to ukrainian officials, russia now controls about 20% of ukraine, including the occupied crimean peninsula and there are mounting reports and mounting evidence, that in areas where the russians have taken control, they are carrying out atrocities. there are now about 13,000 different ukrainian investigations into possible war crimes. it's very hard to know how much of this is filtering back to the russian population. but at least in some lip domatic circles, they are paying attention and a veteran russian

in the middle of lingering divisions on immigration, labor and abortion rights within the democratic party. it's all playing out in the large lilaty no and more culturally conservative district that republicans are eager to turn red. joining me from texas native texan, himself, garrett haake, political reporter patrick fitech from san antonio. so, cisneros is a lot closer this time around, garrett. how are the issues of the day playing into this race? and what about abortion? >> yeah. just even having forced a runoff brings her so much closer than she was two years ago. for the cisneros campaign this has been a three-year effort to chip away at support in this district, where he is borderline legend ear. i'm in lor reda, the seat of the district, the seat of his power.

you see it with the voters we talked to. this is someone well established. the only texas democrat, sends a lot of money back to the district. his positions, while more contefb e servetive than his fellow democrats in the house particularly on abortion is making the bet that they are more in line with the voters in this district. cisneros has gotten a huge boost of enthusiasm and fundraising around the abortion rights issue since that draft opinion on roe was released. that doesn't seem to be the issue motivating most of the voters here in the races closing hours, some of the cuellar voters the way they see this race. listen to this. >> if you were to come here any time during the week, you see a bunch of people crossing. we seen a lot of people with how can i say it with charges, a lot of criminals as well, it's really bad. >> reporter: you work in law enforcement? >> yeah, i do. >> you can tell me?

>> i work with the sheriffs office. safety is very our main concern here. >> oh, he's bringing, first of all experience. he's been here in the district for years. i believe he is brilling a lot of federal fundings for his schools, for academics, for medical and law enforcement. law enforcement is very important here. so that's some of the built-in support here in this community cuellar has. one of the thing working against him has been that redistricting that map is the 28th district. the new texas map has a little more bear county, sfoent than is previous district. those are slightly more liberal. they come from a district slightly bluer. they've never seen cisneros or

cuellar names on the ballot. ritz been it's been traditionally much deeper in la redo. >> i was going to ask that. in the san antonio area, the lower part of it. does that mean that republicans are hoping to flip a district against way ar or cisneros? who would they rather see? >> reporter: there is no doubt they'd rather see jennifer cisneros. there is a runoff, cassie garcia. she's openly said that she hopes the democratic nominee is jessica cisneros. they can't believe the republicans do, that she is too liberal or progressive to defend this district effectively in november. >> what about row. v. wade, in terms of that

imminent ruling, the way we expect it to turn out, is that animating voters, patrick? >> reporter: you know, i think it crystallized the mission for people already supporting cisneros are inclined to support cisneros. so i think that energized them and some people who may have felt a little dissatisfied after the primary. because you know, even though she forced cuellar to a runoff, no one has a run ja off in texas. it's a total slog. there are laws debated to shorten the period. i think some folks feeling downcast feel a runoff. i think having that feed come out, folks leaning towards her and her camp really energize them and clarify what the principles are at stake here. so i think that was the effect on this race. >> gentleman, thank you very much. and it is deadline day in pennsylvania and the state's

republican senate primary is far from over. the race between hedge fund manager david mccormick and mehmet oz. dr. oz is up by 987 votes. counties have until 5:00 tonight. the winner will not be announced soon a. recount is all by guaranteed and mccormick is filing suits on maim-in ballots. with me from philadelphia is nbc news correspondent dasha bumpblts i hope burns. i hope you got my vote. besides that, beyond that, this is a race that has no end in sight. what's happening? >> reporter: your words are so provocative, katie. i love it. yeah, no insight. still here, still in philly. look, you got candidates and election officials right now

preparing for a recount, while also now preparing for a legal battle. mccormick filed a lawsuit yesterday. bear with me. this gets long key. this is important in the such a tight race. all right this lawsuit is based in a court ruling from friday that's actually focused on an election. it has nothing to do with this 21 on its face. it's base on an election november 2021. the court issued a ruling that said the ballots from that race, a county judge's race that are undated, mail-in voters forgot or neglected to write an address on sorry a date on the envelope, that those ballots should be counted. the mccormick campaign is arguing that the stats should apply to this primary race as well. that's what the law is trying to do, to compel countys to count the ballots. the oz campaign is on the other side of this argument. they believe those ballots shouldn't be counted. they should be tossed and today

the rnc says they will be intervening in this, citing with oz, saying agency that those ballots shouldn't be counted. we will see a protracted legal bat lot at the same time the secretary of state has issued guidance to counties saying put those undated ballots aside right now, segregate them and let's wait and see what happens with this lawsuit. at the same time we're waiting for that announcement of a recount. that needs to happen by thursday remember then the recount needs to start no later than june 1st, which is next wednesday. from there countiless have five days to get that all wrapped up. i think i got it all covered. i'm telling you, there is a lot of twists and turns here. you got to buckle up for the ride for the next couple weeks, katie. >> how is leiutenant john fetterman, capitaliing on this open field right now? >> reporter: well, you got a total flip screen here. there is still not a winner.

there is no outcome. there is a lot of infighting within the republican party. oz mccormick are on two different sides of process and paperwork, how to handle the ripples of this election. otherr on the other side fetter manman had a overwhelming victory. raised 1.2 million upon winning. he needs bed rest. this is a good time to take that bed rest. and recovering. he doesn't need to be on the campaign trail as the other side is still sorting things out. >> dasha, thank you very much. after the break, her 8-month-old needs milk. it is medically impossible for her to breast-feed. next, what one mom is doing to feed her little boy. the department of transportation just announced to speed things up. of transportation just anunnoced to speed things up. ate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are getting clearer, i feel free ♪
