the landslide win for melanie stansbury in new mexico provides clear evidence of a biden effect. it turns out being on the side of economic recovery, pandemic relief, vaccines and protecting democracy might be a winner with voters. she defeated the republican opponent who ran on crime and tried to paint her as soft on law and order. more than 20 points. and while the decisive victory of course cannot be extram lated, politico reports that it's enough to ease the party's fears of a closer result that could have protended a brutal midterm next year. added this, democrats hailed the comfortable win that the base enthusiasm did not wane and that the gop's doubling down on defunning the police attacks backfired. one of the central arguments on policy that the gop tested as a strategy is the attack after attack against biden and his agenda. it's fallen flat in the polls.

my colleague union, the neal discuss the issue with social commentator melanie colette and political activist, anthony val just right. i think it's a big mistake on the part of people who are really just virtual virtue signaling to make this man into a hero. there are many african americans who are much more deserving, who are doing positive things in the community that you could make into a hero and a role model. this man was a drug, basically a drug addicted criminal. i would hope that sister melanie is death is upset and more joined me and calling for the removal of the 4 white men who would have been convicted of committing war crimes who are currently on the most mount rushmore mountain on stolen indigenous territory. i would also hope that sister melanie would be upset on the fact that there were slave owners replaced of african women and genocidal maniacs, who currently are represented on us currency. i'd rather see a statue of conduct a rice, a clarence thomas, other other black people who have done positive thing in the black community. i don't, i don't the statue of george

arturo carmona habla de esta difÍcil situaciÓn que tuvo su hija melanie. respaldÁndola con las decisiones que tome. siempre pendiente de lo que ella quiera hacer. la vamos a estar apoyando. en mi caso sabemos que estamos para lo que necesite. fue una experiencia muy complicada. pasaron mucho tiempo, pasÓ mucho tiempo. yo lo supe hasta despuÉs. me dio mucha rabia, mucha impotencia, pero habÍa que actuar en ese momento. sintiÓ el respaldo de su familia, de su padre, de su madre, del esposo de su madre.

. >> melanie stansbury's plan, advocating taking guns away from local police. >> we need to pass thegress. >> melanie stansbury, stop the madness before it is too late. >>> out front now, a veteran election watcher and analyst and the founder and the director of the university of virginia center for politics. larry, i always appreciate your perspective here. so, the democratic nominee melanie stansbury says this is a convenient political narrative her opponent is using and basically tried to avoid talking about this. there is a reason for it. recent polling shows only about 20% of the united states support reducing support for law enforcement. the district went overwhelmingly for biden. what are you looking for overall and on this issue of defunding the police and democrats? >> well, it is always a rough equivalence, but we will look at the actual percentages. now, everything that we have seen so far suggests that the democratic candidate will in fact win and probably will win comfortably. if we are surprised, i don't think they will be a complete upset. but let's say the margin is s

melanie townsend talking with the chp pilot about laser strikes and why they're so dangerous. >> imagine flying hundreds of miles per hour late at night with nothing to guide you but your instruments in a plexiglas window to guide you when you are suddenly hit by a high beam up blue or green light virtually out of nowhere but turns out the source of that light is a laser pointer in this instant has already happened 6800 times last year according to the federal aviation administration. and chp says they have made 9 arrests this year so far. >> they can seem like it wasn't tool resigning at your craft is extremely dangerous can cause piles of as chp airplane flying in for outside assistance call over roseville was suddenly struck by not one. >> but to high intensity laser pointers from hundreds of yards away something 6. you're quite officer paramedic jarrett booth says is a heroic moment for both the pilot in the fight. officer has the laser comes through the cockpit. >> it kind of star burst sunshine over the place. it could be really disorienting. and you can't even see your interpretat

business owners are holding their breath. >> team, melanie woodrow, abc7 news. >>> the california dream blowing in the wind. i was going to sing it but ama daetz said please don't. delicia: this is where all our recycling is sorted -- 1.2 million pounds every day, helping to make san francisco the greenest big city in america. but that's not all you'll find here. there are hundreds of good-paying jobs, with most new workers hired from bayview-hunter's point. we don't just work at recology, we own it, creating opportunity and a better planet. now, that's making a difference. your heart is at the heart of everything you do. and if you have heart failure, there's entresto. entresto was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant, it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto. if there were a bu

melanie baker is still with us.not surprising that we are seeing a different emphasis coming from countries that do not see quite as much tourism or as not as reliant on tourism for their economic performance versus countries that are reliant on tourism wanting things opened up quicker. >> it is a natural source of tension. there is a point where it works. restricting tourism is bad news for the countries who do rely on it or. but if loose restrictions to help the virus and the delta variant gain a foothold, that could be the pathway for lockdowns later and tighter social distancing restrictions. there is tension on that front as well. anna: in terms of the fiscal stimulus that we see across the euro zone, mario draghi called for the stability mechanism, for the joint debt raising and wanted to see fiscal stimulus come through and that was delivered last summer. now we see an approval of plans and it should be rolling out. but mary of drug talking about how -- but mario draghi talking about how this will not be enou

melanie, and then wade, real fast, would that be a compromise you could get behind? >> i think compromise is what's nighted. filibuster needs to be reformed. i'll leave it to my expert wade whether 55 is good. as far as i'm concerned, i think any change that will allow for there to be work done in the senate. at the end of the day, this didn't just start with the biden administration. this has been going on ever since obama was elected. and so the whole notion that all of this about all of a sudden they're going to do the right thing, i just don't believe it. the proof is in the pudding. history has shown especially senator mcconnell is not willing to be a leader. he's willing to just focus on partisan game and partisan power at all cost. he doesn't care about -- >> we are over time. let's get wade in here, then we have to go. go ahead, wade. >> let's give joe manchin some credit, jonathan. after all, his willingness to consider reducing the number needed to overturn a filibuster is a very important step. and it's important we recognize his willingness to engage in c

melanie is in the newsroom with what we will see tonight on the two-hour abc 2020 special. melanie?> reporter: for the first time, we will get a look at matt mustard interrogating matthew quinn while his girlfriends life was at risk. instead of looking for her kidnapper, the police department believed aaron murdered denise. when she turned up, they accused the couple of making the whole thing up. >> every moment, i kept picturing him. i kept just visualizing what that feeling must be like to finally feel safe in his arms again. >> reporter: denise hoskins is describing being kidnapped and assaulted by matthew mueller with an interview with our reporter. he broke into her home and tied up the couple before kidnapping hoskins. in a new video, she describes to the detective the distractions -- instructions. >> stay around my house. there will be a video recording to monitor that i don't contact anyone. >> i acknowledge this sounds like a movie. i know it sounds bizarre. >> reporter: it was too bizarre for detective mustard. >> i'm telling you, it did not happen the way you are describi

melanie? >> reporter: for the first time, we are getting a look at matt mustard interrogating aaron quinn for hours on end while his girlfriend was at risk. instead of looking for her, the kidnappers had taken denise. they were accused of making the whole thing up. >> every moment, i kept picturing him. i just keke the feeling would feel like to be safe in his arms again. >> reporter: she describes being kidnapped and assaulted by matthew in a new interview. he broke into aaron quinn's home where he drugged, blindfolded, and tied up the couple for kidnapping hoskins. quinn describes the instructions mueller gave him. >> they told me i need to stay at my house. they said they'd send me a video recording on a monitor to make sure i don't contact anyone. >> i know it sounds like it's a movie. i know it sounds bizarre. >> reporter: it was too bizarre for detective mustard. >> i'm telling you it did not happen the way you are describing it. it did not, period. i didn't hurt her. i didn't do any of

congresswoman elect, melanie stansbury, _ item for us.obably still a little too far away to tell. democrats fighting to keep control of the house in the senate. of course, and those elections never really go away. i feel weird we just finished the november one, but then we have to talk about the midterm. yes. former president trump is watching the account that's still going on in arizona. the biden administration has clarified its plans to share millions of unused covid vaccines with the rest of the world. to start, they'll distribute 25 million doses immediately, with a goal of handing out 80 million by the end of the month. of that initial batch, 19 million will go to the who's covax initiative, to be spread throughout asia, africa and latin america. the remaining 6 million will go to what the us is calling 'regional priorities and partner recipients.�* they include mexico, canada, south korea, haiti, and ukraine, among others. news of the plan comes as health ministers from the g7 group of wealthy nations have been meeting in oxford to

margin here, melanie stansbury wins by 20 points.umbers, first one is what was the margin na joe biden carry this had same district by? last year's presidential election? joe biden won it by 23 points. so, stansbury wins by a bigger margin than biden won but also the congressional election in this district last november, deb haaland was the democrat. she won that. then became biden's interior secretary. deb haaland won by 16 points. it's higher than biden's number. it's higher than hasm aland's number last november. that's what democrats were certainly hoping for. it's not what republicans wanted. what republicans saw here in this special election was an opportunity maybe not to win the seat. that was always going to be a reach for republicans, but republicans wanted a sign of momentum, a sign that joe biden in the white house with democrats in control of can congress that there was a backlash building. and what that would look like for a republican standpoint would be for a margin to be less than biden's, less than haaland's, to sho

melanie stanzbury defeated mark morris for the seat. democrats will hold 220 seats in the house, republicans 211. important number, margin now is 62-33 in this race. that's a 29-point lead. joe biden won this district by 23 points, deb haaland won it only by 16 points. i say only, compared to the 29-point lead that the democratic candidate has in that district at this point tonight. that's a big win for the democrats tonight. that's the last word. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. >>> good evening once again, 133 day of the biden administration, comes as many across our country from the president on down are sounding the alarm about the future of our democracy. nothing less. this is happening just as we mark 100 years since the darkest moment in the history of an entire region that was covered up successfully for decades. a massacre in tulsa, oklahoma, that decimated a thriving black community. biden became first president to speak at site of that attack. linked it to what he says is a frontal assault on our right to vote.
