arrington: wow. that -- i have to really hold back here because i have other colleagues that have important things to say but when i listen to my friend michael cloud i'm inspired. because he's a man driven by conviction. i've watched him and i admire his his drivefish truth. his seeking out what's best for the country. that's his measuring stick. and i just, in a institution full of so much baloney, so many pardon me, partisan hacks, it's nice to have somebody that just says, i want to do right by the constitution, my constituents, and my kids. [laughter] and that's what drives michael cloud. proud to serve with you, representative cloud and thank you for joining us for this discussion and we have another kansan, i think we've had three texans and two kansans and so we're still winning. we're still up one. tracy mann is a new member of congress but not new to 34reubg service. -- not new to public service. he's led as lieutenant governor his great state. he might boast more wheat and sorghum there in

katie arrington's base is down here. only 50% of the vote counted here so if you are in the mace campaign you're looking to see can she make up the ground. if you look over all again we're getting close to 80%. nancy mace has a nearly 5,000-vote lead. we'll count to the end. >> let me ask you. texas tonight there is a special election. >> it is an interesting one as well. this is a democratic seat. the democratic incumbent resigned so they're having a special election. because it is a special election it is a little funky to get to the programming. let's pop down to the end and bring up the state of texas and move it over. the house general election. you see this strangely drawn district. we could have a week long conversation about texas gerrymandering. it is the 34th district. it was represented by a democrat. 97%, still counting but the republican candidate mira flores at 51%. the wall is acting up. if she can hold that and stay above 51% she will be the congresswoman only through january. this will be re-run in novem

. >> so, one of those was adam running for nevada senate, other is katie arrington running for house seat in carolina, where polls closed a the the hour. counting now. trying to unseat incumbent nancy mace who was critical of trump and allies after the deadly insurrection. >> his entire legacy was wiped out yesterday. they should be taking 100% responsibility for this, i was shocked as anybody that the words turned to action yesterday. >> also hoping to hold on to a seat in south carolina is republican tom rice, now, shocked his party, he was one of those gop votes to impeach trump for the role in the january 6th riot, a vote that rice knew could cost him his seat. >> if you lose, is it going to be worth it? >> sure, it will be worth it. absolutely. >> your obituary, the first sentence is going to be tom rice, who was a republican member of congress and voted to impeach donald trump. >> that will be it. i'll wear it like a badge. so be it. >> jeff zelaney "outfront" live in mint. pleasant, south dcarol, polls closed two or three minutes ago, counting now commenced, what is the latest

trump backed challenger katie arrington.ed trump, he decided to get involved to try to out stir by criticizing, she criticized trump for being racist and also voted to certify president joe biden's win in the 202020 election. totally not distance herself from trump. pointed out she's been one of his earliest backers despite their differences. also has the backing of former south carolina governor nikki haley who's been hitting the trail on her behalf while arrington has been buoyed by ads from former president trump. >> i just looked, the casinos are still open. >> she picks the best place, right? it's clearly obvious where they are. >> i got about 40 minutes to hit the slot machine. >> thank you. so let's bring in el fox news correspondent -- you are having breakfast with friends in south carolina. lawrence, what's the temperature like there? >> 94 degrees? >> people are just starting to pile into the bistro. she said it up perfectly. of course arrington is backed by former president donald trump but the big issue for voter

arrington has run for congress before but lost in 2018.p support and a fed up washington mentally will make the difference. >> he's still polls in the 80s in this congressional district. he's the heart of the republican party right now. he represents hope. there's going be a better tomorrow. >> arrington's opponent, nancy mace, that was once endorsed by trump is now considered to be by him a horrible person. she's criticized trump's behavior since the 2020 election while she's staunchedly conservative, she's trying to focus on other things like the economy and proud to tout the support of the biggest names including nikki haley. >> nancy mace is a conservative fightner this race. she's the person that i want representing me. she's the one that i know south carolinians want representing them. >> trump is dominating in other races. tom rice is trying to hold on to his congressional seat. he's been in congress several years but now fighting off against six other republicans in a primary challenge. rice has been getting a lot of criticism when

you are holding a campaign rally in arrington in south carolina.tute political move. >> it is really important we unify our party going forward to win in november and i welcome president trump's comments and his congratulations. and also katie arrington my opponent. it is about working together. the voters have spoken. it's time for us to work together to get the majority to reverse what joe biden has created and started and reverse every crisis of his own creation to immigration and gas prices and grocery stores. we have to reverse that and it starts tonight with our unity event. >> harris: people in your state will get to see people coming together rather than being torn apart. how refreshing.

mace is facing a challenge from katie arrington.s backing arrington but supported mace but changed after the 2020 election. trump supporters are questioning her credentials. she says she is focusing on issues, not presidential endorsements. overnight a statement from trump who says don't forget that katie arrington is running against a terrible nancy mace who really let us down. trump is trying to get another south carolina republican out of office. congressman tomorrow wright representing the myrtle beach area. he voted to impeach trump after 2020 and criticized trump since then campaigning with house speaker paul ryan former house speaker in june. rice is facing a challenge from trump candidate russell frye. trump held a rally in south carolina in march. frye now campaigns heavily on claims the 2020 election was unfair. early voting in the state has wrapped up and down from the previous mid-terms in 2018. we don't know what tomorrow will bring except for one thing. it will be hot. >> dana: mark meredith, thank you. >> bill: let's

arrington got a big batch of goats there to put her in the league. one place that looms large -- we have no votes yet from beaufort county, and this could be determinative in this thing. again, overall, macy's leading by ten points right now. there is that key county yet to come. and the suspension in the seventh district, there is checking to see if there is more -- votes are in. this expansion in the seventh district is, how is fry going to do, as we get more votes in the myrtle beach area? could he get closer to 50% in an outright win or will tom rice live to fight this out in a runoff two weeks from now? either way, there's a very, very bad numbers for the income a republican in a primary like this. >> all right, steve kornacki, thanks very much for that. the senate reaches a bipartisan deal on gun reform, the first one in decades. we have senator chris murphy who negotiated tonight. he will tell us what's in the deal and how he got, done that just ahead. global economies are under enormous strain, and it has to do with several historic factors,

this'll be a chance for this to be seen as a defeat for trump because he had wanted to see arringtonthis seat. he was a vocal critic of nancy mace ever since she criticized him following the january 6th riots. this is what she had to say to the left. >> i promised when i ran in 2020 that i would be an independent voice. i promised that i would not toe the party line. >> reporter: we also have a statement just out from the former president who said arrington i was long shot but ran a great race and way overperformed. gone gratz to nancy mace who should be able to easily defeat her democratic opponent. while mace did win her race, she may be able to thank the former governor of south carolina,nically haley who -- nikki haley, she campaigned hand-in-hand with mace trying to get out the vote. we were on the road with her yesterday. this could be a big win for nikki haley. she has endorsement clout. while politics in this state -- it's midnight here. we just checked. the heat index is 93 degrees! it's got to be the lead story. >> shannon: it's no joke across the south right now. mark, tha

because nikki haley was behind nancy mace whereas donald trump was behind arrington. had angered donald trump by saying at one point trump's quote, entire legacy was wiped out by january 6th and that is whereby the bad blood happened. and last night though, for him to post that he is behind her going forward to beat the democrats progress. >> ainsley: how about south texas? 85% of this district where mya flores won is latino. and they carried in 2020, the democrats carried that district by 13 points. she is a republican. she was born in mexico. she came here as a child. her parents were migrant workers down in texas. and she is the first mexican born congresswoman, first republican to represent the rgv, rio grande valley area in four decades. so what does that say? does that signal trouble for the democrats in november? >> brian: yeah, i have never seen as far as -- i thought george bush was probably the best with the hispanic vote for republicans in the last 30 years, 43 that was. but, right now, the precipitous drop of the appeal of joe biden by the hispanic communi

when you say joe biden did that, arrington helped them. >> todd: you will want to stick around. congresswoman mace will join us and so will reporter lawrence jones who is having breakfast with south carolinans. >> carley: sam brown for the gop senate nomination, the winner of the race will determine who runs against incumbent catherine cortes-maesto. >> we will beat the senator in november. >> we're not relying on surrogates from dc to rescue you in the primary. i put in sweat equity and that is what we need to flip the state. >> todd: in north dakota, john hogan expecteds to win his third term. democrat governor janet nelwell,s looks to lockup today, will face former governor paul, who came out of retirement for this race. >> carley: and in texas mara flores trying to flip the seat after his resignation in march. she is facing sam sanchez in that race. >> todd: with the economy top issue for voters, this wasn't a good day yesterday, wall street spiralling. >> carley: all three indexeshg s had major sell offs, griff jenkins is live in washington with more. griff jenkins the s&p

, arrington concede endorsing mace and apologizing to former president donald trump. >> and to donald sorry i couldn't give you the birthday present that i wanted to give to you. but u will always be my number 45, my number 46. >> trevor: you know what, i-- i don't know why anyone would think trump supporters are a cult. ha ha it is just a normal woman apologizing to trump for losing her election on his birthday. it's not a cult. this is a very normal thing. please forgive plea dear leader, so normal, so normal. by the way, what was all that about you will always be my number 45 and my number 46. cuz i-- i get why she said t i know trump was the 45th president but is she saying he is still the president? because then he wouldn't be the 46th president. he would still be the 45th president. that's confusing. and if i am confused, you best believe donald trump is really confused. best believe. (applause) he probably watching that speech like wait, so i am joe biden? what a twist. i should call m. night shyamalan. but let's move on to some international news coming out of the united kingd

the other high-profile target of the former president nancy mace held on defeating katie arrington. trump predicted her victory in november. in nevada, trump-backed candidate and former attorney general defeated sam brown. he had this to say after. >> the failed policies are not just a product of joe biden, though he's served as a useful puppet, they look at the feet of cortes-masto. >> griff: this match up in november, republicans believe this race could be one of the best chances to win back the senate majority. >> todd: focus on the border race, you spent a lot of time at the border, practically lived there for a time. what is the democratic party not knowing what latinos at the border want. >> griff: great question. they are not listening to their citizens and community. myra flores is married to a border patrol agent. there are drugs and criminals, gang members coming across. in the 10 days i was there last week, todd, 15,114 apprehensions, equivalent of a caravan we've been watching coming in just essentially one week that i was there. the hispanic voters there, who have been

this is mace up against arrington as mark just pointed out trump has gotten behind arrington and notace. a good race. 50% to win it. meanwhile just north of there in a place called the pd valley, myrtle beach, it has been one of the reddest parts of the country in favor of donald trump. they're on the trump train in an early stage of his candidacy. tom rice voted for impeachment. one of 10 house republicans who did that. he is being challenged by five different republicans and donald trump got behind russell frye. here is where we are as we track the primaries. so much attention given to them because so much of the undercurrents on the left and progressive side among the trump movement and republican party as well. just very intriguing to watch between south carolina. see what happens in north dakota. nevada has a very interesting race. governor side and senate side getting a lot of attention. show you why here. come back to the map here and i'll show you why democrat catherine cortez masto is considered to be one of the most vulnerable. why would that be? she won election in nevada

arrington won the gop primary for the first district, but you lost the general election to democrat joe cunningham, who nancy mace and then defeated in 2020. and then in the state's seventh district primary, trump backed candidate russell fry, a state representative. well who will try to unseat congressman tom rice, who four voted in favor of impeachment following the january 6th capitol riot. five national republicans tetanus is on the ballot there is well, but those are two key races in the portmanteaus state that are being watched tonight. with that, the phone lines areas. what you want to talk about? this is barbara, out of newport news, virginia. democrat. good morning. >> good morning, john. how are you doing? >> good. >> yes! i just want to say i watch the hearings every inch of them and it is really unbelievable about how these people see something and still don't believe it. -- trump's campaign manager all the people we are listening to and these people are still in denial. trump was not a decent person when he went into office. he was a thug when he went in. before he went in

katie arrington lost this district before. still counting votes. >> david chalian, john just laid out in south carolina representative tom rice and representative nancy mace, they chose different paths on how to navigate this whole trump issue as they are running. is it clear yet what republican voters think of those choices? >> well, it's clear that tom rice is in a heap of trouble. you saw his opponent was at 49.9%. if he gets over the 50% mark there, he's going to avoid a runoff and just win it outright potentially tonight. so that would be a big deal. that clearly shows that for the republican electorate, the vote to impeach donald trump for his behavior in the lead-up to, on the day of and the aftermath of january 6th, well, that is anathema to what they're looking for. that seems pretty clear from the results coming in there. you noted there was a different path for nancy mace. i mean, she went up to trump tower in manhattan and filmed herself in front of it. she is still very much aligning herself with donald trump desp

off arrington. make the not go as far as tom rice did, when speaking out donald trump, she did not vote for impeachment, she did not for the formation of the bipartisan january six commission. she did know, in the initial wake of the january six attacks, make critical comments about trump, about his role in that, she spent the rest of her first term here in congress though, in many ways, trying to make peace with trump voters. politically that maybe just enough to help or survive. she is going to win tonight. nbc news now projecting that, one other notable house was all to tell you about. in texas, and a special election in texas. in a district that has only going to have this for a few more months, but it's significant because of this conversation we've been having, about hispanic voters, potentially shifting towards the republican party. in the last couple years. look at, this the 44th district in texas this is as current as it's currently constituted one of the most hispanic districts in the coun

votes come in here is the initial batch of votes we're getting shows mace more than 2-1 ahead of arringtone other republican incumbent being targeted by donald trump. early votes, a very different story. here's tom rice. he's running behind and running significantly behind. it's only 4% of the total, but he's already, you can see, double digits behind the trump backed challenger. this is a state legislator, russell fry. take a look here and see where the votes are coming in in this district. >> we're getting the mother lode in the seventh district. this is where myrtle beach is where conway is. half of the district. we want to get a real sense of this county. there's nothing from there yet, but three other counties right now looks like they are reporting at early vote and a quick start here for russell fry. the trumpbacked challenger. again, one thing to keep in mind is the more votes that come in, 509% rule is in effect, you know, rice draw a number of challengers. most of these republicans who are running in this race cited his vote to impeach donald trump as basis for his candidacy. if

she is on the outs with maga world, she campaigned with mace while trump is backing katie arrington.o do you think has more pull there, nikki haley or the former president? >> i think the former president, but, again, i think that the die is cast on that race. as we beoth know, endorsements are done not to help the other, but to build fund-raising and contact base. we'll see. every bit helps. people don't refuse or turn back endorsements. so i think the president has more sway, but, you know, every vote matters and i think haley is of help to mace. >> today's primaries are the latest in a string of primary votes in other states. what you've seen so far from the outcomes across the country, what does it tell you about the path that the republican party is on, not just for these midterms, but looking ahead to 2024? >> it is on a path to political extinction if we stay on the road that we're on. the problem with the cult of personality is eventually that personality dies off. we age. we die off. and so this has to be a party of late, about ideas, it hasn't been about anything other than

here, challenger katie arrington is going to lose. we are predicting that freshman congresswoman nancy mace will hold on, she will survive on this republican primary and you see the margin there with some votes to come. a little bit under ten points, misses cleaning up particularly in charleston but doing well enough elsewhere in the district. she has held off this challenge from katie arrington. so, don't, trump in texas -- in texas? getting south carolina, going one for two tonight. but speaking of texas, that is the other, at this hour, major development. it's a special election in texas. it's for a seat that will only exist of the next few months. and yet i think it's a significant result because we've talked so much about the south texas and the hispanic vote in particular. let's take into the if we can see and get this called up here. the 15th district -- i'm trying to get it called up here. here it is, mira flores, a republican, we've projected, will win outright the special election in the 34th district. this is one of the mos

so trump is backing katie airiai arri arrington. h she's been endorsed by nikki haley.ngton is hoping that trump can take her over the top. >> you talked about the important senate race for nevada. not just that but implications for the senate. >> right. adam laxalt is backed by donald trump. the nevada caucus had a convention, they're endorsing brown there. laxalt getting a strong challenge. here's a thing to keep in mind. this is a democratic-held seat but joe biden won the state by two points. whoever emerges from this gop primary, we're expecting a very, very expectative race in the fall. >> and the democratic primary for the congressional seat there also. >> i don't want to leave the democrats out. here we go, the nevada democratic primary, titus there and bernie sand serious backing the challenger. titus was a early backer of joe biden. here's the thing that keep in mind, this is a race interested in not just the primary, but the general as well. it went from a district that joe biden won 26 points to one he won by just nine points. especially in the challenger wi

. >> mayes' primary challenger is katie arrington who former president trump supports.mp, once a mayes fan, now wants her out of office after she criticized him following the 2021 capitol riot. >> you have another horrendous rhino known as crazy nancy mace. >> arrington lost her congressional race in 2018 and now campaigns heavily on trump's endorsement. >> we in this district want someone that is going to represent the three core values we believe in faith, family, and freedom. that's why donald trump endorsed me. >> mayes is counting on the supreme court of trump's former u.n. ambassador and potential 2024 candidate nikki haley to win over maga voters. >> nancy mace is a conservative fighter in this race and she is a person that i want representing me. >> two hours north in myrtle beach republican congressman tom rice is also fighting to save his job. rice, one of 10 house republicans who voted for impeachment after the january 6th riot is being primaried by six republicans. >> we take an oath to protect constitution not a man. >> what i did conservative vote. >> vote

but, make no mistake about it, the support that the former president trump gave to katie arrington who was her challenger made for a decent showing on her part. so he is still influential. but he is not quite as dominant as he was. and my own sense is that his influence, likely remain strong for some time is simply not what it used to be. >> shannon: i want to put up the places where the democrats have an advantage where polling had showed they are viewed as better on the particular issues. climate change, abortion, voting right, election integrity, coronavirus, the fact is when you cross-reference that against the most important issues to vote, they are way down the list for voters, so while democrats can claim that they are better trusted on those particular topics, those topics don't seem to be top of mind for most voters heading into the midterms. >> brit: inflation, crime, land war in europe, while the president is trying his best to support ukraine, trying at least to some extent to do so, his ratings aren't particularly good on those things. and that, obviously, reflects his par

there's a third candidate who has dropped out of the race and has endorsed arrington. in south carolina of, can donald trump put his endorsement behind a candidate and take out a republican incumbent? the juicier test may be in the seventh district of south carolina. myrtle beach, this part of the state. here the incumbent, tom rice, around january 6 didn't just say that he condemned the president's behavior, he voted to impeach donald trump. one of the few house republicans who took that step. this is actually the first time -- we have seen a bunch of primaries play out. this is the first time that this has come up, a republican incumbent who voted to impeach trump and is facing a challenger, russell fry, who is endorsed by trump. this is the most direct between trump and a republican member of congress who voted to impeach him. russell fry, a state legislator who has trump's endorsement. there are a number of other republicans running in this primary. there's a run-off rule in south carolina. if nobody gets 50% tonight, the top two will go to a run-off two week from

another candidate who dropped out who endorsed arrington.f donald trump going after an incumbent republican member of congress. the more interesting test and the second one in north carolina is this one, in the seventh district, you go to myrtle beach, conway, up to florence, that part of south carolina. here is tom rice, republican incumbent, he didn't condemn trump's behavior after january 6th, he voted to impeach him. we have for the first time this primary season a republican who voted to impeach trump, tom rice, being opposed to russell fry. the first time we've seen trump endorse a challenger to a republican who voted to impeach him. there's a run-off rule in place if nobody can get to 50%. the top two will advance to a runoff two weeks from now. tom rice, the republican who voted to impeach trump. one other primary, we'll start getting numbers later in the night that we'll be keeping a close eye on. it's in nevada. it's the republican senate primary. you have a democratic, katherine cortes running. are republicans going to nominate ad

. >> reporter: justina arrington is a mother of two. her third is due any moment.me back to your first birth, your son. he's 8 years old, right? >> he just turned 9 this year, yes, ma'am. it was just -- it was real tiresome. it was very traumatic. especially when i found out my doctor that i had been working with the entire time, he was not going to be there. >> reporter: justina's prenatal records show her baby started showing signs of fetal distress, and she says the doctor told her, for her safety and her baby's that she would need an emergency c-section. when they first told you that you needed a c-section, what went through your mind? >> oh, i immediately started crying. >> reporter: justina says though she was terrified of the surgery, she opted to undergo another c-section for her second pregnancy after her doctor warned she could be in labor for days. >> once she told me, hey, it's probably going to be another 48 to 72 hours before this baby actually comes, it was like, okay -- well, i don't want to do that, let's just do the c-section. >> reporter: the cdc

trump is backing katie arrington. she has run for the district before. she lost in 2018.pport will make all the difference to primary voters. >> he is still polling in the 80s in this congressional district. he is the heart of the republican right now. he represents hope. that there is going to be a better tomorrow. reporter: arrington's opponent, congresswoman nancy mace was once endorsed by trump, he calls her a horrible person. she criticized his behavior following the 2020 election. she is considered staunchly conservative and has support of some of the state's biggest names, former south carolina governor, trump u.n. ambassador, nikki haley. >> nancy mace is a conservative fighter in this race. she is the person i want to represent me. one i know south carolinaians in the first congressional district want representing them. reporter: we're watching another race a few hours away in the grand section of the state. tom rice is fight to keep his seat. he is facing multiple primary challenges from trump backed state representative russell frye. this is getting attention,

trump-backed state representative katie arrington and catherine courtez-masto facing off against trump-backed candidates in november, in maine, janet mills looks to lockup the nomination today and will face a tough battle against the former republican governor paula page and in north dakota senator john hoven expected to win his primary and shift focus on locking up a third term in november. >> todd: did you hear this, calling for bret baier, moderate debate between senators bernie sanders and lindsey graham. the senators will tackle the biggest issues at the polls. stream the debate live on fox nation, the debate will be available after it wraps up on demand. tackpayers forced to pay $250 everyday to a homeless man accused of pushing a 62-year-old woman down a flight of stairs, yet it makes no sense to us either, we'll try to explain the outrageous reason why. >> carley: this is not the headline want to read if you live and work in new york city, police officers are set to retire, where is mayor eric adams? partying with celebrities, we'll be talking to mike lawless about it. when it comes t

high-profile target of the former president held on in the country defeating the challenger katy arringtonevada, trump-backed candidate and former nevada attorney general adam waxall defeating sam brown for the gop nod in the senate rate in the silver state. afterwards, he had this to say. >> these failed policies are not just the product of joe biden, though he has served as a useful pubet, but they lie at the feet of the senator and senators like her who make the crazy woke agenda possible in america today. this election will be a referendum on senator masto and all these elites who look down on us. >> laxalt faces masto in november. >> carley: griff, you know, it will make democrats a whole lot more nervous for the midterm elections. i know you spent a lot of time covering the border. what do you make of the gop making gains in that region? is it a surprise to you? >> it's not a surprise but it's a clear indication of the growing republican influence in hispanic politics in deep south texas. you have to go back -- remember, just last week, carley, i interviewed republican mayor javier v

ka katie arrington did. nancy mace actually svoted to certify the 2020 election. what did she do?ilmed a video there. trump gets his revenge getting someone out, or he makes someone he's not supporting grovel for his support. it's win/win in south carolina. >> let's go to nevada now. >> i'm going to go to the secretary of state primary in nevada. take a look. this is the republican primary. jim marchant, 38% of the vote, he's the winner. this is the republican nominee in nevada to have oversight of the elections there and he is an election denier from 2020. this is the real world still modern day, not looking back to january 6th, but today and going forward potential threat to sort of our democracy, to the foundations of free and fair elections. he's the republican nominee in nevada. i want to show you in nevada in the senate race there, one of the key contests of the cycle, if i can get to it, you'll see here adam laxhalt, he's the big winner in the republican nomination. he'll go up against katherine gomez, one of the vulnerable candidates. >> crucial race there. take us to texa

nancy mace took the primary defeating trump's preferred candidate, katie arrington. and in texas republican mayra flores flipped a democratic house district where 85% of residents are latino. senator marco rubio says it is a sign the gop is making big gains among that voting block. >> it is severe losses by democrats. so-called hispanic activitys or people who claim to speak for hispanics but everyday voters and people aren't the same thing. hispanics don't want to pay $5 for gas or criminals running the streets or schools trying to convince their son that he is their daughter. it is voting against the party responsible for those policies. >> dana: alicia has more for us. >> this is interesting and exactly what the national republican party was banking on here because it dumped more than $1 million on tv ads alone on this special election in a traditionally democratic district and the candidate is now congresswoman mayra flores filling the remaining months in office, a seat vacated by retired democratic representative. flores is the first mexican-born woman elected t

he endorsed katie arrington because mace said harsh things about january 6th. she's at 45%. it here. 53%/54%. nancy mace above 50. that would mean she's the candidate if she holds the lead. >>> a gunman in texas shooting at a summer camp filled with 250 children and staff. a man trying to forcibly get into an elementary school in alabama. both stopped by quick action from law enforcement. those stories are next. ty. i'm empty. shaq: do you suffer from cartrtridge conniptions? woman: ucccccch! shaq: be conniption-free. shaq: thanks to the cartridge-free epson ecotank prprinter. shaq: a ridiculous amount of ink! shaq: up to 2 years of ink comes in the box. shaq: the ecotank is the perfect cure for - woman: i'm sorry, i didn't mean any of that. woman: i meant it! you're mocking me! shaq: the epson ecotank. just fill & chill. woman: does anybody have more cartridges?! i didn't realize my dna could tell me if i had a higher chance for type two diabetes. so when my son gave me a 23andme kit, it was a wake-up call. this father's day, start a new health journey together with dad wit

she has held off this challenge from katie arrington. donald trump in texas going -- in texas, in south carolina going one for two tonight but speaking of texas, that is the other at this hour major development. it's a special election in texas. it's for a seat that will really only exist for the next few months and yet i think it's a significant result because we talked so much about south texas and the hispanic vote in particular and take a look at -- let's see if we can get this called up here. take a look at the result in this special election in the 15th district. i'm trying to get it called up here. here it is. flores, a republican, we have projected will win outright the special election in the 34th district of texas. this is one of the most hispanic congressional districts in america. again, this is a special election for a seat. it's being redrawn because of redistricting. but we have been talking since the 2020 election about south texas, the rio grande valley, the border region, we saw county after county in this region of tex

. >> in south carolina's first district, cnn projects that nancy mace was able to win over katie arrington. >> i also want to thank mick mulvaney who endorsed my campaign early on. he helped us raise some money. he is a great fiscal conservative. i also want to thank former south carolina governor and u.n. base nikki haley. >> and cnn projects another trump backed candidate will compete for u.s. senate seat from nevada, adam laxalt is grandson of the former governor and as well as senator. >> i'd like to thank president donald trump for not only believing in me, but for believing in nevada and leading an america first movement, a movement that is alive and well today here in nevada. >> laxalt will face the incumbent democrat in november. a win for him could help tip the balance of course in the republican's favor. >>> given economic and as well as security priorities, the white house says that joe biden will visit saudi arabia, israel and the west bank in july. sawudi stop is revising some ol controversies. joe biden had vowed to make saudi arabia the pariah. >> khashoggi was murdered and

hold on to their seats first there's congresswoman nancy mace facing off against trump backed katie arringtonanuary 6th mace said it wiped out all gains but she later voted against forming the january 6th committee and for kicking republican congresswoman liz cheney out of her leadership position also in south carolina congressman tom rice challenged by trump backed russell fry. a recent poll showed rice trailing fry by double digits. >>> in nevada, more tests for the former governor's challenge. trump and his allies supporting state's former attorney general adam laxalt. he's a fierce trump supporter. laxalt faces retired army captain sam brown. whoever wins the primary will likely take on the sitting democratic senator, katheryn cortez masto it's going to be the most competitive in november. dave wasserman is with us. dave, thanks so much polls just closed in south carolina what are you watching there? >> yeah. these south carolina primaries are real mud fights. we have nancy mace in the first district who is being challenged by a trump endorsed candidate katie aring ton who lost in 2018 na

. >> you voted for arrington, did trump have something to do with it?a little bit. >> reporter: why did you vote for trump? >> because she's not like nancy mace. i felt she betrayed both the people, her constituents and president trump. >> reporter: what did president trump's endorsement affect your decision in this rice? >> none. >> >> reporter: you voted for? >> i voted for nancy. >> reporter: how many of these republican voters leak you just heard that gentleman will stand up an ultimately vote for tom rice and nancy mace against donald trump's wishes and ultimately will it be a signal to other republican voters and republican incumbents? including the likes of potentially liz cheney in her august primary, if they're willing to stake a stand against donald trump, they still got a shot in their primaries. >> vaughan, thank you. coming up next, everybody is on social media, that does include drug dealers. what parents should look out for. how easy it is to purchase potentially deadly drugs with nothing more than a smartphone and social media apps. deal

that is why nancy mace beat katie arrington.lican nominee and lost that seat to a democrat. so, yes, nancy mace, she crossed donald trump but was not anti-trump. she embraced his policies. she embraced his sort of spirit if you will. so candidates absolutely matter in the race. you cannot be sort of at odds with republican voters. that's what tom weiss was. >> the question is does that carry over? there were ten house republicans that voted to impeach donald trump last time it was on the primary challenge. four of them here decided not to seek re-election. then you see the four in the middle there. they are all republicans who voted to impeach donald trump. they all faced trump-backed republican challengers in august. so in the middle of june now, we got a ways to go to get there. >> this is trump's priority in so many ways to exact his revenge on people who openly defied him and crossed him. if you are any of these folks, liz cheney might be number one on his list of people he wants to see ousted. you have got to worry. you loo

areas to the north of charleston, more rural, a lot more conservative, those are going for katie arrington. she's someone who was a particularly trumpy candidate all the way along to the point that she lost to a democrat in this district. i think that's what republicans writ large are concerned about. they're concerned that trump will select candidates that are frankly like not okay for some of these other areas. that's what mitch mcconnell was worried about in georgia. >> one of the concerns i have and maybe that's why you were unable to find another word for trumpy. you hear the committee, before the committee hearings, there were thoughts of will they focus on trump? withal try to make this a singier focus, or to make it more broad? and in doing so, i have often wondered, is this feeding into the hands of being able to say, hey, there same former president who would say they're after me, tare after you, trying to go after you, though, does this actually legitimize some of the claims that people who might not be watching are saying, see, it's all about trump for you all. why not make it

strongest defenders in congress faces the former president's handpicked challenger, katie arrington. both candidates running on drilling for american oil and border security. the border and security crisis that we have humanitarian crisis at our border that the biden administration refuses to acknowledge in nevada, democrat dina titus faces a primary challenge from her left progressive. amy vilela former bernie sanders state campaign chair. now's the time to elect pulled leaders who will fight to change our current system that favors the rich and over in maine and interesting race shaping up as former republican congressman bruce pollack win seeking to win back his old seat. a win tonight would put him on a path to challenge the moderate democrat jared golden in what should be one of the tightest and closely watched races come november. that was joe khalil reporting for us this afternoon. all of the midterm elections will be held on november. 8th. >> international news this afternoon. the state department met yesterday with the phoenix mercury giving the basketball team an update on

watching as congress woman nancy mace is trying to safe her job as she facing a challenge from katie arringtonement. she lost in 2018 and turned the district over to democrats briefly. mace is still running on the america first policies trying to it focused on the economy. she has the endorsement of nikki haley who said she and trump are close but are on separate sides in today's race. >> we don't agree on 100% of things. i saw him last week. he's a fresh. but when it comes to this district, nancy mace is a conservative fighter in this race. she's the person i want representing me. >> we'll be watching to see if any of the candidates make it over the 50% threshold, which means there will be a run-offer. stay tuned. hopefully we'll find some shade. >> martha: it can be hot in charleston. good to see you. now to aishah hasnie live in reno, nevada where the winner of the gop senate primary will take on vulnerable democrat katherine cortez masto. she's considered the most vulnerable democrat senator in these races. hi, aishah. >> hi, martha. good afternoon to you. this is a state that is voting on

interesting because we had one incumbent, nancy mace, who survived a challenge from a trump-backed katie arringtony critical of trump, but did not vote to impeach him. however, if you impeach trump, as tom rice did, look at this, he only got 25% of the vote. the trump-backed russell fry got 51% of the vote, my goodness gracious, an incumbent getting just 25% of the vote. talking about inging about trum candidates, adam laxalt, he was endorsed by trump. here's the thing about nevada, i think is so important, this is going to be a huge state in the fall, the general election senate, currently controlled by the democrats, the betting odds of who is going to win, it is fairly close, but look at that. adam laxalt with a 63% chance of winning that race. this say key race, not just last night, but going into the fall. if republicans can win and flip nevada, they probably will flip the senate chamber. >> no one better to explain things, right, alex? no one better drawing arrows -- >> i have horrible handwriting. my handwriting is atrocious. fortunately this technology is decent enough i can make things re

katie arrington is trump-backed. this has gotten a little closer, but a 12-point lead for nancy maye mace. if you look at it a different way, nancy mace is leading in every county that has reported votes so far. more math to do. at this point it looks like a split decision. >> all right, john king, we'll stay on it. thank you very much. i want to bring in gloria borger and former senior adviser to president obama, david axelrod. what do you make of the different approaches former republicans trying to survive the former president's ven vengeance? >> i can't help but think about tom rice, who is completely unapologetic about voting for impeachment. i remember when he did it, and i want was a big surprise because he is a staunch conservative who represents a conservative district. and he has told everybody, look, my constituency was elected in 2012, he has said look, my constituents know how conservative i am. and they understand that i'm voting my conscience, and they're going to remember how conservative i am. i was

cnn projects that mace has defeated katie arrington.trump but she voted to certify president biden's election victory earning trump's wrath in that process. though the former president actually congratulated mace on her win. >>> coming up for you, how oil and human rights have joe biden caught between a rock and a hard place. >>> and first ukrainian using western weapons. >> there is a problem though. we're told that there is not enough western ammunition. how am i i looking? looking good! the most cautious driver we got am i there? no keep p going how's that? i'llll say when now? is that good? lots of cars have babackup cameras now you know those are for amateurs there we go like a glove, girl (phone chimes) safe driving and drivewise can save you 40% with allstate click or call for a quote today when you stay on the road and on the go. find your rewards so you can reconnect, disconnect, hold on tight and let go! stay two nights and get a free night. book now at bestwestern.com. ♪ on the road again ♪ ♪ just can't wait ♪ ♪ to get on the
