susanna martinez.t was the one, because chris christie was at the time running as a republican, who was all about trying to expand the appeal to the hispanic community. and that's only a few years ago. and today susanna martinez doesn't want to appear with the presumptive republican nominee, having been somebody who the party had courted for quite some time and was seen as a rising star. >> certainly she is a rising star on the republican party. you wanted to make one final point. >> and talking about trying to change the tone and tenor and the hispanic vote, which the republican party has been trying to do since george w. bush did so well, got 44% of that vote, but when donald trump was here in washington a couple of weeks ago, meeting with republican leaders is, john cornyn, senator from texas, said point blank to him, i won the majority of the hispanic vote, as a republican in texas who's very outspoken against illegal immigration. and there's a way to do it, to have a different kind of conversation

there is not a world -- susanna martinez is not never trump.ll she said is that she wants to wait and see what kind of nominee he will be for the people of new mexico. she's not one of these people who said i would never support. unlike romney, who trashed them. i don't see a world in which attacking a latino governor of new mexico, a swing state, makes sense. it does not add up. mark: i'm not saying it makes sense. it is rude to go into her stay and do that. what i'm saying is the trump brand -- >> is all about antagonizing latino women? mark: i don't think that any -- he has any idea who susanna martinez is. what i will say -- john: it is a state the republicans would like to win. mark: i will just say that if donald trump when he has stood up to people that attacked him, they have eventually come to heel. that's how trump rolls. i'm not forgiving him. i'm not saying a smart. i see the downside. but the notion that this is somehow a disaster -- john: i will agree with that, that it is not a disaster. it trump does not care about unity. this d

she's not doing the job. >> today susanna martinez set this about his comments. the governor will not be bullied into supporting a candidate. governor martinez doesn't care about what donald trump says about her. she cares about what he says he will do to help new mexicans. and governor martinez set this about donald trump tonight. >> you know, it's politics. it really is. it's just politics. it doesn't bother me what he says. it just doesn't affect me. i was a prosecutor for 25 years, you know, and have heard names i've been called for a long time. it's not something that's going to affect me. i'm really interested, new mexicans deserve, tell us what your plan is for new mexicans. i'm not going to vote for hillary clinton. i can tell you that i'm the same place i was before this event took place. >> here is the most divisive and least dignified republican presidential nominee reminding voters today why the republican party is not unified. >> poor mitt romney. poor mitt. i look at this guy. i mean, i have a that's worth more money. he's a choker. i hope we don't

. >> trump ripped susanna martinez in her home state. blaming the new mexico governor for new mexico for economic woes. >> since 2000, the number of people on food stamps in new mexico has tripled. we've got to get your governor to do a better job. she's got to do a better job, okay? she's not doing the job. >> hey. maybe i'll run for governor of new mexico, i'll get this place going! >> was it the economics or susanna martinez says she does not want to be the vp. >> we're supposed to be in this period of republican unifying as a party. that comes from the top. that was donald trump i think the reciprocity for her not coming out and supporting him. yesterday she didn't come to the rally. she said she was really busy. she did not endorse him. unity does not mean conformity. those two things are different. he could have taken a pass on that. it was not necessarily to take a swipe on her. she inherented a terrible situation after years of liberal governance. new mexico hardly has any national resources, she's the chairman of the republican

people like susanna martinez? >> my message is that we have had tremendous support of almost everybody and even if you look at congress, support has been incredible. and i spoke with paul ryan last night. we had a very good conversation that's moving along. he is a good man. we ole see how that all works out. >> can you elaborate on that? >> no. >> also in that huffington post article -- >> i don't read that. was there an article in huffington post? well, i'm sure he was misquoted because it is -- i didn't think they covered politics the huffington post. do they cover politics? >> apparently they do. he said you would start softening your position on the muslim ban? >> we'll look at a lot of different things. we have a big problem. we have a radical islamic terrorism problem. a worldwide problem. not just this country. we have to find a solution. and we have to be vigilant. we have to be tough and smart. we'll see what happens. >> when i -- >> yes, go ahead. >> wanted to debate bernie sanders. >> i'd alike to love

jeb bush and newt gingrich and markio and posted comments supporting susanna martinez mart. playing into what donald trump wants. here we are talking about him. and you are writing about him? >> yeah, he knows how to drive a new's cycle. maybe he likes this better than the last one where he drew criticism for bringing up the suicide of hillary clinton's aide vince foster. donald trump may lack the discipline to not go after every slight. he doesn't have to poke back now that he is the nominee officially. and you need to act presidential. and there is a counter argument. this is how donald trump got to where he clinched the republican nomination. this new york street fighting style. and if he goes after people in the party, it doesn't upon help the unitty but helps the brand of donald trump. they may have preferred another cand uponidate. it may not matter if paul ryan is on board or susanna martinez. >> which is more important. unify a potential trump voters in the general election oregon leadersh lead -- gop leadership. >> he's having trouble getting out of that mode. he go

he's going to try to make susanna martinez come to him. he's going to try to make mitt romney come to him. he's going to try to make him submit. that's his mentality. it's a mentality that's foreign to american politics. >> most people when they get a job, they try to make some friends. who's he do? who can i find with around here? >> it is. >> why is he doing it? >> he's bringing his style into a very stayed political process which has a formality. >> which you know well. >> it's the part of donald trump that i do like. he does upset that apple cart. the question is can you dial it back. i don't think that's his temperament to dial it back. it's a siege mentality. >> he may lose the crowd. thank you for that. thank you. howard fineman, thank you. >>> hillary clinton and bernie sanders are locked in a hot fight for california. looks like it's going to be hot. clinton could win the nomination before california's results come in. she may need help to nudge sanders out of race. >>> also, we're going to get senator barbara boxer's take on the

republican governor susanna martinez did not attend the rally and has yet to make an endorsement. lauren: democratic lawmakers discuss whether congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz should step down as dnc chair woman before the party's convention in july. this has some democrats worried that debbie wasserman schultz has become a divisive figure to unify the party. the congresswoman has had an increasingly rocky relationship with bernie sanders as well as supporters. if he were president, the wasserman schultz would lose her position. president obama selected her as the dnc chair woman in 2011. trade to the transportation security administration will be on the hot seat today. peter messenger will testify before the house committee about how he plans to reduce massive delays for travelers waiting to get through security, causing people to miss their flight. fox has learned this week that kelley hogan, the man in charge of security is on administrative leave pending reassignment. peter king says a solution is necessary whenever that may be. >> listen, we can't afford to waste 1 doll

people like susanna martinez? you have something to say to her directly? >> no. my message is that we've had tremendous support from almost everybody. even if you look at congress, the support has been incredible. i spoke with paul ryan last night. we had a very good conversation that's moving along. he is a good man. and we'll see how that all works out. >> can you elaborate on that? >> no. we just had a very good talk. >> also in that huffington post article -- >> i don't read the "huffington post." was there an article in the "huffington post"? i'm sure he was misquoted. it is -- i didn't think they covered politics, the "huffington post." do they cover politics? >> apparently they do. you said you were going to start softening your position on the muslim ban. >> we're going to look at it. we have a radical terrorism problem. it is a worldwide problem. not just this country and we have to find a solution. and we have to be vigilant and we have to be tough and smart. we'll see what happens. >> when you said you wanted to debate bernie sanders -- >> i'd love to

, court women and minorities, trump last night suggested that republican new mexico governor susanna martinez is falling short. >> we have to get your governor to get going, she's got to do a better job, okay? >> the governor spokesman fired back in statement quote, the governor wi will not be bullied into supporting a candidate. governor martinez doesn't care what donald trump says about her, she cares about what he says he will do to help new mexicans. she didn't hear anything about that today. >> trump has two more important points tonight. one is an appearance on jimmy kimmel who has been critical of trump's rhetoric. the other is a phone call with house speaker paul ryan to discuss their plans to unite the party and when and if ryan will endorse the republican front-runner. >>> carl cameron live in anaheim. >>> hillary clinton has more pressing issues now in the form of the seemingly never-ending primary battle with bernie sanders. senior political correspondent mike emanuel is with the clinton campaign in salinas, california tonight. >> the battle for the golden state is on. >> vote on

he has trouble with hispanics. >> susanna martinez. >> how about a muslim? >> we said that yesterday. the problem is we can't name one. >> ben carson. >> you know, you've been way ahead on this trump thing. you know, you get a lot of flack, i'm going to say you saw this coming way before anybody. >> i think that's true. but the second thing now is -- it's incumbent on people like you who saw it before and trump to bring the rest of the republican party along. you can talk about vps, but there's got to be a way you do outreach to people who have been alienated from trump. the pressure is on trump, not the rest of the party. >> if you listen to donald trump today, he did several interviews. hold on, john kasich is now approaching, the governor of ohio will suspend his bid to become gop nominee for the president of the united states. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you all for coming. the first thing i have to do is to thank my great wife, karen. the fact that she has, she has endured my political career. and also of course, accentuated it. there's nobody like

hit her on her tone yet again and there was another interesting and notable attack on governor susanna martinez. obviously the governor head of the republican governors' association. trump citing negative statistics about the economy, said maybe i should run for governor of new mexico and implored martinez to do a better job. when you talk about party unity, chris, that is significant. part nez holds that position as head of the rga and here comes trump -- we're going to head over here to see what's going on. here comes trump talking abouter in a way that is not conducive necessarily to unity. of course martinez has come out sharply against some of trump's proposed policies as well. finally, the other news we're following the continued protests at the trump rally. there's a police officer filling in members of the media as to what's going on so we'll find out and report back. >> what are the protesters? give me a sense of who they are and what's their protest? >> so what we've seen in the past at these rump rallies are dreamers, members of the latino community, what i can tell you tonight is we

going to allow that to happen any longer. >>> trump advisor down played the pointed attack on susanna martinezmartinez had critized trump for his tone on immigration and trump stumping in berk berk said martinez needs to get going and do a better job for her state. >> every time trump goes to speak he lays out the problems in ohio or michigan or diana. >> he didn't just say things could be better in new mexico. he said the governor is not doing the job. >> it is not being republican or democrat, it is what is right for the country. >> he disputed he is fact he is fighting with paul manafort. >> no sunlight between them. i like that. james, thank you you. >> hillary clinton, broke the law. i read all 42 pages of the report. what do people want? it goes on and on and on. we are reaching the final stages of a primary. and hillary clinton is going to win this primary and i say enough is enough. let's get to the major problems facing this nation. >> that is senator feinstein dismissing the controversy. is the media underinvestigating this story? we have talk media news. and nice to see you. tammy b

i think what he did to susanna martinez, it wasn't a slight on her being latina. it wasn't a slight on her being a woman. it wasn't a slight on her being a republican. it's the fact that he was in her state and the republican party is trying to come together and that she made no effort to try to come out and say i'm going to meet you halfway. so what is he going to do? he's going to gloss over her record, which he pointed out what the problems with her record were, and he spoke the truth on it. he didn't embellish it. i don't think it's a problem. >> the lesson is there will be no quarter given. that's why people respond to him. it's also why people think it's not great quality in a president all the time when you are dealing with your domestic adversaries. it was not 24 hours ago he was saying and his team was saying if you want to distance yourself, fine. distances herself, says a critical thing and this is what he does. that's the pattern throughout the campaign and that's why people who are calculated can't can i endorse him or not and can i distance myself, i

2012 and re-reince priebus and rnc, what republicans need to improve to win the white house, susanna martinez fits that description. >> checks almost every box. >> more approachable to women, more approachable to hispanics. here she is this star inside the republican party for some time where she is the head of the republican governor's association. she was the one surrogate nationally chris christie brought into new jersey to be a validator and campaign for him in 2013. this is the model of the kind of outreach that republicans had hoped to do in order to win the white house and donald trump is clearly offendsed she hasn't supported him yet. goes on the attack and does a complete takedown for somebody as you were saying checks all of the boxes what he needs to be wooing, not pushing away. >> david, thanks so much. >> here to discuss now is senior adviser to the trump campaign and senior commentator amanda carpenter for ted cruz and patti solis doyle and bill press, bernie sanders supporter and just a general all-around good-bye but sometimes a bit of a kru mud gen. paul manafort goes to capi

what was particularly troubling about him going after susanna martinez is she's the head of the republicanovernors' association. scott walker had to come out and support her. donald trump needs a lot of help. he needs to be building bridges, not burning them. >> morris, you've got clinton's operation that is so much bigger than trumps but she's losing ground in the general election polls. >> she has to change her narrative. the voters have to buy into an aspirational message. and they have to see theirat yo are a person who's going to be able to promote a future that they can buy into. although we're in the primary, we need to start to move to a clai clarion message. people can buy and see their future as part of what the candidate is talking about. the narrative needs to change and needs to change quickly because we're running out of time. >> thanks, guys. >>> in the next hour, reimagining an american classic. why the remake of the roots miniseries is so important. americans... ... 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add o

also names mentioned condoleezza rise, house speaker paul ryan and susanna martinez who skipped trum's rally prompted a war of words with the presumptive nominee. even some of his former rivals are the subject of speculation. but none seem interested in what would be the ultimate longshot candidacy. >> he has high negatives and there are people who won't vote for either of them. and will be looking for some way to send a message. >> reporter: another potential spoiler, new libertarian pick gary johnson, the former new mexico governor who received just 1% in 2012 trying to be taken more seriously this cycle. late tonight, bill kristol tweeted a sarcastic apology for what he called unnerving donald trump. most analysts agree that any conservative challenger could peel enough votes away to all but assure democrats the white house come november. >> we'll see how this victory unfolds. hallie jackson in washington for us. >>> a scare at the white house prompted a partial lockdown for hours today. a haz-mat team descended on the grounds after authorities say an object was thrown over the fenc

"special report" online is back. and it begins in six seconds. >> it's thursday march 26th. hillary is in hot water over e-mails. donald trump taking direct aim. >> hillary, as i say crooked hillary, crooked hillary. she is as crooked as they come. she had a little bad news today. >> could clinton's e-mail violations effect her campaign. >> tornadoes destroyed more than a dozen homes. look at that right there. maria molina is on the ground. >> incredible moment of bravery. a little boy fights off two armed men with a fluffy toy.

instead of attacking susanna martinez mart, he needs to focus on hillary clinton and not let up.can bring over the sanders' voters to his side of the fence because there is a lot ofanger out there and that's what he capitalizes his campaign. >> ron, and joe, thank you very much. >> we are standing by for remarks from donald trump for the first time since the associated press declared he has clinched it, that's just ahead. vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. >> a fox news alert for you. two navy fighter jets cluding off the coast of north carolina. two fa 18 super hornet jets crashed into each other off of cape pattersous. four people were bailing out and plucked from the ocean by a commercial fishing ship and floun to the hospital in norfolk. the navy has not released details on their conditions. they said an inflight mishap caused the collision. >>> blockbuster news out of america's headquarters, donald trump reached the number needed to clinch the nomination. unbound delegates threw their support be

the new mexico governor susanna martinez mart has not yet endorsed the gop nom no. martinez has critized his comments. carl cameron has the latest for us in the ballooning capital of the world. >> reporter: land of enchantment. donald trump up was at a fundraiser on behalf of chris christie. christie was the first rival to endorse trump. the trump campaign is working to expand the national campaign and as a consequence of that, they met with the reality of the cost and trump is{big donors to help finance the campaign. today will be the first official fundraiser with the rnc prior to a rally this evening. this is a sign that raising the billion ante is difficult. trump has spent a good part counter punching hillary clinton's assertion that he is a sexist. he went back to the 1990's clinton scandals and held hillary clinton responsible for enabeling her husband or badger the accusers of bill clinton. they are throwing everything at one another. hillary clinton has a new web adattacking donald trump for looking forward to the possibility of a role estate bubble before

susanna martinez happen to endorse marco rubio and is a big governor and rising star in the republicanes me more leery of donald trump. here's your chance -- win him over. guest: i've been in his chair. i held my nose and wrote a check to mccain and to romney. but i don't expect to put pressure on alex. party soldier and come far caught -- come fall, i know who he is going to vote for. john: the best argument is to hold his nose and vote for donald trump? guest: he needs to take his time and he will come to it. mark: what is trump doing now? guest: i don't really matter now, who matters are people like paul ryan and ted cruz. i think they are not supporting him and that's a cause for concern. they should be doing everything they can to unite the party. what is donald trump doing that is getting you closer? him putting out his supreme court list, i like his speech to the national rifle association. i want to be convinced he will govern as a limited government conservative and there's a lot they can do. it's two days that he has not held out a lot of his agenda yet. people right now look

delegates he needed to be the nominee, and yet some mainstream republicans are not behind him, like susanna martinezgovernor martinez is donaldorsement that led to say "that she is not doing her job in her state." all figures siding with the governor and taking swipes at trump in the process. it is donald trump in the party? this martinez thing is a specific outburst. how big of a problem is the specific thing and how does it symbolize trumps approach to unification? .ark: he also hit jeb bush their donors don't like that. brand ishat the trump antiestablishment, anti-career politician, and about strength. he wants people to get on board. if they don't come on board, he does not think they need them. i understand the unity project is important. he will get paul ryan, almost everyone else. john: it is hard for me to say. -- susannat a world martinez is not never trump. all she said is that she wants to wait and see what kind of nominee he will be for the people of new mexico. whicht see a world in attacking a latino governor of new mexico, a swing state, makes sense. it does not add up. mark: i'm not

thanks for the note on susanna martinez and the self-funder becoming the funder.ing, thank you, sir. >>> you know, trump is building up on his campaign cash, he is attacking hillary clinton. he is getting -- it's getting nasty. both he and hillary clinton, resurrecting attacks of the past here. clinton bringing up trump's comments of ten years ago and i'll play for you in a moment and trump has a new instagram video with the decades-old sex allegations against not hillary clinton, against her husband. that contradicts what trump said back in the day defending the former president. bill clinton. chris cuomo on "new day" today brought up that and so much more with the trump attorney. >> he's giving the facts. >> no, no, no. he knew the facts. >> he was a private citizen who was friendly with the clintons and trying to protect a friend. now, it's a different game. >> so he was lying then? >> not lying. protecting a friend. there's a difference. >> what is the difference? >> the difference is he was being a true friend. he was -- it didn't matter to him. >> let me tur

the presumptive gop nominee during up for a rally in new mexico while its governor, susanna martinez who has been mentioned as a possible vp pick for trump has not endorsed in the meantime, the democratic residential candidates focusing on california with its huge delegate hall as a recruit turned down the chance to debate senator sanders on fox before the june 7 primary and it's sanders upping the ante with the battle against the democratic establishment, bowing to stay in that race all the way to philadelphia. jon: fox team coverage, mike and manuel with the democrats but we start with donald trump's former rivals still on the ballot today. dan. reporter: donald trump get get to that magic nomination number of 1237 delegates in washington state primary today but he can and should get awfully close. he is 77 short right now. there are 44 there for the taking this afternoon. voting already going on for three weeks in this all vote by mail state and that's why ted cruz and john kasich are still on the ballots. carson is on the ballot as well because his campaign never submitted the pa

conceded and going after some top female republican leaders including the governor of new mexico susanna martinez okay? your governor has got to do a better job. she's not doing the job. after a while, you sort of give up like poor mitt romney. poor mitt. i lock at this guy. i mean, i have a sore that's worth more money than he is. he wanted my endorsement. begged for it. he wanted my endorsement and now all he does is go badmouth. donald trump shouldn't run. ba ba ba and walks like a penguin on to the stage. have you ever seen him? penguin! many of the people that i competed against endorsed me and jeb hasn't done it yet. he will get a burst of energy and he will do it! believe me. telling you. he needs a little more energy. >> not mincing any words. joining us is s.e. cupp and katrina pearson and political editor of right alert, a trump supporter, as well. katrina, why is he doing this? now that he clinched the republican presidential no, ma'am nice, why is he going after other republicans? why isn't he trying to unify the whole party? >> mr. trump is trying to unify the whole party and what we

at one point he was asked about the attack on susanna martinez, which he said was because the economyas bad in new mexico. but in this press conference, he said, well, she wasn't very nice to me. now is that going to be the criteria to which a president decides whether to attack, praise or ignore anybody else, either a politician or foreign leader, another country, by the kr criteria of how good are they to me? that appears to be the only one that applies to trump. >> he also ripped on bill kristal for the third-party talk about the independent conservative run. now we are learning a name that perhaps the name on the wish list for bill kristal and others is david french. he's a national review writer. this is from bloomberg. two republicans intimately familiar with bill kristal's efforts to recruit an independent candidate to channel hillary clinton and donald trump. the person bill kristol has in mind is david french. french is a veteran of the operation iraqi freedom according to the website, the national review, where he's a staff writer, a constitutional lawyer, a recipient of the

. >> dennis, i want to ask you about donald trump attacking new mexico governor susanna martinez lastht. was that a smart move on his start why would he do that? >> because the filter between donald trump's mind and his mouth is not effective that's why. i have no excuse to make. i think it was extremely stupid. >> bob beckel? >> i would add stupid. this woman was considered for vice president early on in the process and he has made that state more of a blue state in one day than it should be. he's got to start looking at delegate counts, the electoral college, new mexico, we've won it before but not often. you take a -- your hand on and slap around a popular republican governor and you're not helping yourself. >> thank you, gentlemen. always interesting when you're on, especially together. >>> up next, will the state department's report on clinton's e-mails hurt her on the campaign trail? we'll discuss. radio anncr: scorching heat today, stay cool out there! walter! stop suffering with hot ac - cool it yourself with a/c pro. in just 3 easy steps, enjoy the comfort of 2 times the cool

susanna ma susanna martinez is relatively popular, she's the first latina governor, but this is part of his pattern. he did the same thing with marco rubio during the primaries. they're always rough and tumble. he mocked anymore a way that has driven him and his supporters away forever, the one person he has, the only major latino political figure he has not completely alienated is brian sandoval who said he would not endorse trump but has said i think on may 5 he would endorse the presumptive nominee. he would not say trump's name but he said he would endorse the nominee so we'll see if trump continues his pattern and insults brian sandoval as well. >> let's talk about a democrat because bernie sanders tweeted out "donald trump and his friends should realize that their bigotry is the past, not the future." but for trump it's very much about the future. build a wall today. why is it so personal for latinos, do you think? >> it's personal for latinos -- >> then i'll let you get in, leslie. >> we are descended from immigrants, whether you're first generation, third, fourth, fifth, we k

>> he has been critical, particularly last week specifically in the case of susanna martinez, the republican governor of new mexico. there's been a lot of criticism he needs to stop attacking, republicans, said the chair -- finance chairman for the republican governors association. responsible for getting republican governors elected. saying that trump's beating up on fellow republicans is not any way to unite the party. and today he basically didn't back down and whether asked about what his white house might look like in terms of tenor and tone, he pretty much said, what you see is what you get. watch. >> if i have a republican that's not on my side, i'm not zb-- wh should i be particularly nice to that person? if a person is not going to support me? i have no obligates. politically, i may be right or i may be wrong but that's who i am. >> reporter: when today asked if he would change his demeanor and stop being so critical of the pre -- or democrats, for that matter -- he said no, going to pretty much keep things the way they are. >> carl cameron, i know you are going to keep covering him

people and there's something interesting going on the way he's going after elizabeth warren, susanna martinez. you name it. donald trump is functionally operating as an independent -- even though he's the presumptive republican nominee. he does not care about party labels a at all. that's why you see him blasting the republican governor of new mexico. you see him blasting whoever it is at any given point in time, he is forging a new path forward and i think it's intentional he throws out pocahontas so we get distracted by what he's doing and how he's campaigning look at that press conference today. aside from pocahontas it was the most presidential he's been. he took a number of questions on energy policy. he strangely said that he thought the united states government should get a cut in the profits of the keystone pipeline. i don't think this idea has been heard of before. so we should look at the poli policies he's proposing. we get hung up on pocahontas but i want to pay more attention to the policy. >> yet he has clinched the nomination. >> he has. if i told you a year ago we would be sit

governor susanna martinez in new mexico. they have made it known that they don't really want anything to do with trump and his caustic tone. but searly, he could find somebody. i've seen the name governor mary fallon of oklahoma as a possibility. i mean, she hasn't lashed out or bri bristled at some of the comments that trump has made. >> mary fallon is somebody you've heard. marsha blackburn, a player in the house republican conference. a congresswoman from tennessee. but i would say that neither of those, with all due respect to their career achievements, have really risen to sort of the serious frontier main republican bench that somebody, who if donald trump is serious about saying the very first thing i need is somebody who can help me govern. somebody who can -- who is prepared for the presidency. i don't think either of those women really has the kind of resume that puts them in that position just yet. >> now, 1972 comes to mind. trump could find himself in the position of george mcgovern in 1972. i mean, for the life

some of the names tossed around, new mexico governor susanna martinez, nikki haley, senator rob corbin from ohio, marco rubio's name has been floated. he has said the most recent thing about trump is that trump has turned it around and done very well in the last several weeks. interesting to see where that goes. and john kasich, trump said he's rising rapidly on the short list. his staff has said repeatedly there's zero chance that governor kasich, and he himself has said zero chance he'd want to be on that list. >> jacob rascon outside of trump tower, thanks for that. kasie hunt with more on the reaction from republicans to their presumptive nominee to donald trump. we're seeing in a statement there, kelly ayotte will support him, not endorse him. i'm trying to figure out what that means. that speaks to the fixed signals we're hearing from republicans. >> there are contortions at this point. it gives you a window into what the next couple of months are going to look like especially for republicans in tough races coming up in the fall. that senate math this time around. it was difficul

the republican governor of mexico susanna martinez is the chair of the republican governors association but when donald trump said he'd be coming to town tonight, governor martinez said she would not attend, for one very simple reason. >> everybody, of course, wants to know if you will be attending donald trump's rally tomorrow. >> no, i will not. >> what's your reason, tell us why? >> you know, i'm really busy. >> the chair of the republican governors association is really busy. she previously said that she would also be too busy to attend the republican convention in the summer until someone reminded her she has to go because she's chair of the republican governors' association so she'll have to go to cleveland but she does not have to come out of hiding while donald trump is in her town. not yet, at least. ♪ >>> good evening, i'm chris matthews, up in new york and donald trump is inching closer to clinching the republican nomination. and right now voting has just ended in the state of washington where trump is expected to add yet another victory. and more delegates getting him closer

we saw that breakout with donald trump's verbal battle with susanna martinez.tar in the republican party. how does that help unify the party? >> i think you all like to focus on the things where there may be a difference but the differences are showing up in the democrat party more than they are the republican party. i think you're going to see a very unified party and a terrific convention as we head into the summer. >> donald trump's campaign chairman met with senate republicans and said it was totally fine if candidates believe they need to distance themselves from trump to win re-election in the fall. have you considered this at all or will you embrace trump through november in the election? >> i've endorsed him. i'll do everything i can to be certain that he wins and that we get everybody on the same page to get some things done. national security, a huge issue. jobs and economic security, a huge issue. retirement security, which is a primary issue with female voters and they want to make certain that we have a team that is going to deliver. i think it's g

. >> do you believe what people say, that it has to be somebody like susanna martinez, a woman, a latina? >> he says he wants someone with washington experience and someone to help him with the problems in foreign policy and defense policy. that's more important in my judgment. that's what he thinks which is even more important. >> i have to go. i have to ask you, he has promised a better convention than the republicans had four years ago. they don't go zainl craft very well. it's fru that obama's convention was so much better than romney's. sorry, mitt. it was. what are we going to get a new band? >> donald trump understands television. i think you'll find our convention will be gripping and you'll want to watch every minute of it. >> and i certainly will be there. paul, great to see you. >> thank you. >> thanks so much. >> you'll want to watch every minute of you. you can do that here on fox. >>> what is the frump campaign going to do about some of the angry republicans now literally quitting the republican party? herman cain is here next with some answers on that. >>> plus, hillary cl

>>> 54 days before donald trump has -- as of tonight, he has a way to go, with paul ryan and susanna martinez >> not much. >>> hillary clinton again dogged by her e-mail controversy. >> a harsh rebuke from the state department's inspector general's office. >> she's as crooked as they come. >> i've not seen the bitterness in our politics like we have >> he's resisting jumping on the trump bandwagon, which is good. >> america can do better. run fopo

governor susanna martinez who is a republican, she is not going to be at the event tonight.s that a snub of your father. >> honestly, i don't know. i think it's something that's gone on over the last couple of months he has united a lot of people. if i look at the last few weeks, people are getting together. they are backing him. they understand he is the right guy. he is the person who can bring in other states. i don't know what her agenda and her schedule is. i have think he is more focused about the people of new mexico about bringing jobs back to this country and putting americans back to work rather than pandering. ynk it's a big issue. i think it's something that he is going to deal with and do what he needs to do in new next do and a state that will become critical later on in the race. >> i don't think the fact whether she shows up or not is not the big issue. one thing to your la dean know vote is 25% vote. to the effect that she is leading the latino, you know, making her part of the team is important. >> well, listen, i think americans and many hard-working latin

susanna martinez, governor of new mexico in her angry back and forth with donald trump. trump saying maybe i should be governor of the state, i could do things she hasn't been able to accomplish you and got back up from places across the country in the mid west. >> reporter: he did. >> and scott walker joining. >> reporter: ryan went out of his way yesterday peter to single out governor martinez and say she's dot a wonderful thing and didn't criticize trump for the slight. for those in the room it was apparent that he had her back, similar to what scott walker, ryan's friend in wisconsin does as well. i also think that we can't downplay the relationship, ryan still communicates with mitt romney frequently, was his vp running mate in 2012 as you know very well. romney near on board with trump as are the last two president bushes and bush family and a lot of people who paul ryan reads in conservative publications and articles are not there either. he is on this congressional island i would say. however, within the republican party, there certainly are more people receptive

susanna martinez, the governor of new mexico is enormously talented. scott walker who has been through the kind of fight. remember, if trump wins and trump actually tries to change washington, it's going to be just like madison, wisconsin. you are going to have left wingers in the streets. you're going to have daily demonstrations. so, walker has some back growngsd that could be very, very exciting. ' rick snyder in michigan. a very attractive governor, got right-to-work passed in michigan. has been a very good reformer. so i can look around and see six to eight, nine different people they can look at who would be very good part of a trump ticket. remember, you have no idea what trump's range is. he could decide to pick a retired four star general. he could pick a lot of different people you and i wouldn't think of. because he is so unique that he is not bound by the normal conventions. >> mr. speaker, thanks for being with us. peter johnson jr. geraldo, thanks to you guys. we will get back also to tucker carl son. and coming up, senator cruz did drop

african-americans and hispanics as well and yet to get the endorsement of new mexico's public governor susanna martinezg star within the gop. she did not attend trump's rally saying she was busy. trump made a point of criticizing her last night as well. >> since 2000, the number of people on food stamps in new mexico has tripled. we have to get your governor to get going. she has to do a better job, okay? your governor has got to do a better job. she's not doing the job. >> hey, maybe i'll run for governor of new mexico. i'll get this place going. >> trump also took a moment to take on senator elizabeth warren who called him a small insecure money grubber in part for his comments about the housing market back in 2006. trump last night referred to warren as poke hon tas, a reference to trump's claim that she faked her native american heritage, a claim she denies. lots of name calling going on. the general election months away. another point, this coming to us this morning, this from the anaheim police chief who sent out the following statement. it says while we recognize and respect the first amendment
