adam laxalt's message is democrats are responsible for all of these issues.more aggressive message. and he has been backed by donald trump. donald trump, jr. was in town with his campaigning. and his personal friend, ron desantis, who said they have been friends before they were in politics. let's hear from what they said to the voters over the weekend. >> the people of nevada are fed up and want something different. >> adam laxalt has relied on political celebrities to come in and do the heavy lifting for him. people have been burned by their twitter followership t or if they have enough views. that doesn't deliver results for an american people who are hurting. >> sam brown said laxalt is a showman. if we won this primary, he face catherine cortez, who is the most vulnerable incumbent senator. so we're looking at some of these polls here. that's why the numbers are, with adam laxalt at the lead, jose. >> guad, thank you very much. >>> while members of the january 6th committee have taken on the roles of investigators, their day job is representing millions

adam laxalt is facing former army veteran sam brown and cortes-masto. >> adam laxalt did a great job,hrowing my support behind him. masto has put our state in a huge crisis during covid versus taking florida's lead, who thrives off kregzary income and tourism and that is big in las vegas. it shut down, i lost a business during covid. poor leadership can affect everyone. that is something we need to put a stop to and not put some rhiny in office. >> carley: interesting that covid is on your mind, that is impacting how you're going to vote. chris, what are your thoughts on the special election in texas? it has long been held by a democrat, mayor flores has a good chance of flipping it red. >> yeah, i think what the situation is, when myra announced her run, the democrat quit the race and decided not to race against myra flores. i think voters see how dynamic she is and will go fight for everyday people and will change that vote and make texas, south texas start flipping red. >> sarah, i don't believe you are in nancy mace's district, do you have thoughts on that and there is a governor'

adam laxalt. it could be one of those to decide.et's move over to. two trump grudge matches on the ballot in south carolina. one of them is right here in the 7th district, russell fry is trump's candidate because the incumbent tom rice voted to impeach donald trump. tom rice says he's proud of that vote and is prepared to be retired if necessary. we're not there yet. we're still counting. but not only is russell fry way ahead, the 51 is important. you have to be above 50 to avoid a runoff in the state of south carolina. that's 7th district. now let's how do you have down to the 1st district. nancy mace, a much closer race. she is the incumbent. donald trump wants her defeated as well. he endorsed katie arrington because mace said harsh things about january 6th. she's at 45%. i'll come back to 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 alab

of the voters, more than 100,000 are non-partisan, will someone like adam laxalt, encoursed by donaldmp and ron desantis, win over those non-partisan voters something we would see when we get to the mid-term election, katie? >> just curious, it's quite obvious a guy in the trump hats are going to say democrats are terrible. are there voters saying, i don't think i want to vote democrat any longer. we will see. vaughan, same thing to you in south carolina, means mace stood outside of his former home, trump tower and sung his praises. what's going on in that race? >> i think we should take it in context. a lot of republicans that ran away from fights in 2022. adam kinzinger, richard burr, rob portman, other individuals, other republicans disagree with donald trump after january of 2021, in which they separated from the now former president. but there is a small list, including liz cheney and two members here in south carolina tom rice and nancy mace who decided to go for it, running for re-election despite gop challengers. that donald trump came here to south carolina, endorsed and camp

donald trump endorsed adam laxalt, a beg election denier.mer. the republicans hope to pick this up from a democratic incumbent. so trump's success there if you will. let's move now to house republican primaries. over here in south carolina, it was a mixed verdict for the former president. first in this race, nancy mace, a republican congresswoman, donald trump wanted her booted. he wanted republican voters to boot her because she said especially after january 6th very unflattering things about donald trump, mace may survive. but in this district up here, donald trump got the revenge he wanted. russell fry will be likely, russell fry, donald trump voted to impeach him and said he would stand by that vote. tom fry will become a former congressman. one of the special elections in the state of texas. we come down to the map. bring it out over here. you see the red, pop this out. some say this is insignificant because this is to fill the remaining term. maya torres. a republican won proves to republicans latino voters are turning more and more th

adam laxalt is backed by donald trump. 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 wins here, this is going to be a race that a lot of republicans are going to be looking at in the fall. >> finally, there's a special election in texas. >> there is a special election in texas. let's go to the large state of texas. democrats and

take a listen, here are the voices of jim marchant, nevada secretary of state candidate, adam laxalt,and doug mastriano, the republican gubernatorial candidate in pennsylvania. >> people are excited that there's somebody doing something behind the scenes to try to fix 2020 like president trump said. >> no question that they rigged the election. there's no question that they set about changing the rules of the game. >> i'm thankful that president trump's loyal to those that stand for truth and are trying to fight for voting integrity in our state, which needs to happen. i can't believe it's so hard to find what happened in 2020. >> we should also note in new mexico, the state supreme court just ordered a local county commission to certify recent primary results after the commission originally refused to do so, citing distrust of the dominion voting machines. i mean, the lunatics are taking over the asylum. >> that's something. i think that in this instance, i want to point to some of the very strong examples that we had in 2020. brad raffensperger down in georgia really illustrates the

adam laxalt with a 63% chance of winning that race.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 relatively clear and even if you can't read my writing, you can read the nice letters from the computer. thank god for the computers, otherwise i would be -- >> you're going so fast and trying to remember all this. >> i'm trying to get in all the different races, trying to inform the audience. hopefully i went slow enough but fast enough so i was able to accomplish both tasks. >> i'm looking over my shoulder, he's right there. >> right over there. but this is the magic of tv. you have no idea where i was. i could be in antarctica for all you know. >> let's do that tomorrow. >> sounds good. >> harry, thanks so much. >>> here to discuss all this is seni

a a adam laxalt. this race is not just important because of who wins the primary, this is a prime pick up opportunity for republicans in the senate. cortez masto. if the republicans are able to pick up this senate seat they will probably win the united states senate. this is not the last time that we will be visiting adam laxalt in the state of nevada. >>> liz cheney teasing the next hearing of the january 6 committee, the vice chair of the committee releasing part of an interview with eric hersh man where he talks about a consideration that he had with right wing attorney john east man who was trying to help trump block the 2020 election results. >> i said i don't want to hear any other effing words coming out of your words other than orderly transition. repeat those words to me. >> what did he say? >> eventually he said orderly transition. i said good, john, now i'm going to give you the best free legal advice you are ever getting in your life, get a great effing criminal defense lawyer, you're goin

now, adam laxalt went into election day with a strong lead, and going against retired army captain sam brown, running as an outsiders, he's been inching toward the lead but falling behind. winner takes on the incumbent senator, who some analysts have described as quite possibly the most vulnerable democrat in the senate. >> we have the number two highest gas prices in america, you had the culinary union knocking doors today and hispanic democrat voters were saying that the list was so long of things that were going wrong with america there's no way they were going to vote for democrats this cycle. so, it's going to be a tsunami here. >> again, the polls are open here in the state of nevada and if i can walk over this way, adam has just arrived to his polling location and if we pan over this way we can see him arriving with his family. his wife jamie and three kids. and we are going to see if we can maybe grab him for a quick second and get a question. hi, sir. if we could just ask you, how are you feeling today on election day. it's been a long road to this day. how is it going, how ar

so this is a very, very important race and adam laxalt has the holy trinity behind him.growth. you couldn't probably persuade these people to sit in the same room together. he has money, establishment and trump support. sam brown has been a very strong candidate but laxalt has a lot of support behind him and it is a hugely important race. i do think the primaries in south carolina will be very interesting. i'm watching them very closely. these are two republican members of congress that have defied donald trump in different ways, nancy mace and tom rice and trying to get rid of both of them. the difference between the two of them is tom rice took a really difficult vote against donald trump. he voted to impeach him and it is hard to see him overcoming that. he could be the first impeacher to lose his renomination. >> dana: you mentioned nancy mace. this is what she said on fox news yesterday. she is predicting a win. >> i will win by double digits i believe on tuesday. that's what everything is looking like. i'm feeling cautiously optimistic. >> dana: that would be a lot

adam laxalt the republican favorite won the republican primary for the senate.y mace defeated a challenger backed by the former president donald trump. >> you look at inflation, double digit inflation in the last 90 days and the cost of gas, grocery store prices that are record high and look at the border and how we exited afghanistan and it has been a disaster in joe biden's administration in just the first year and a half and you'll see a lot of voters particularly independents and moderates crossing over voting for republicans. >> dana: mark meredith is live in charleston, south carolina with the story. hi, mark. >> good morning to you. with the primaries wrapped up south carolina republicans have a new job ahead of them. unite the party behind the nominees. it is clear there are still some divisions within the state. five term republican congressman tom rice lost his seat to a state rep russell fry. rice was a critic of president trump and trump did all he could to force rice out of office. it worked. rice made the call to admit defeat to his opponent. >> ru

a good chance for the gop to slip a democratic seat, adam laxalt. laxalt is running against sam brown. >> that's jim marchant is now known for supporting conspiracy theory. he's on the campaign trail that he would not have certified biden's victory. many voters have nominated dozens of republican candidates for state or federal office who have backed trump's false claim. the question for the committee and everyone watching is will the revelation we have learned stop that track? remember when the panel accused trump campaign yesterday using election lies to swindle reporters for money? later on cnn pointed to one example of donald trump jr.'s fiance getting paid about $60,000 to speak for about 2.5 minutes at the stop and steal rally on january 6th. sources tell cnn today that it was conservative protrump, turning point action who gave the big paycheck. cnn went back to lockrin and she said this. >> did you miss characterize that payment? >> i don't think so. the question is are trump individuals benefiting from these whole enterprise of raising mone

former attorney general, adam laxalt, trump endorsed, he is for the eight candidates alachua. i -- am brown has picked up new support and the winner of that race will face democratic incumbent senator catherine cortez masto in what the washington times notes will be one of the most closely watched races over the year as republicans seek to regain the majority in that evenly divided senate. and then in south carolina, a lot of focus there tonight on a pair of house races. republican incumbent nancy mace in south carolina one of the house members their faces trump backed katie arrington in the first congressional district miss bass is the first female graduate of the citizens voted to certify the presidential election also voted to hold former trump adviser stephen in contempt of congress for refusing to testify before the general six committee. in 2018, mr. 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 can

adam laxalt is a nevada senatorial candidate and the former nevada attorney general. am i saying nevada correctly? i screw it up all the time. >> i'm sorry to report, jesse, you are not saying it correctly. it's nevada. >> jesse: nevada, i knew it. that was a test by the way. i should call you senator because we believe at "primetime" you will beat your opponent and be a member of the u.s. senate as we hope and we expect. when you see joe biden take out these border patrol agents, and put them on desk duty and potentially get them fired from their job based off of a hoax, what do you think is going on at this white house? tnchts is absolutely despicable that they would do. we all know we have an open border. i can tell you in nevada it's one of our top issues. people cannot believe this administration is doing such a terrible job. senator masto, my opponent, has one of the worst open border records in the u.s. senate, but, for them to demonize this law enforcement that is simply trying to uphold the constitution, do their federal duty and for biden to stick with this h

with his victory in nevada's republican senate primary, adam laxalt will now face democratic senator catherine cortez masto in a race that could determine which party controls the senate. laxalt co-chaired trump's 2020 campaign in nevada and led efforts to overturn joe biden's election in nevada. meanwhile, republicans in nevada picked jim marchant to be their candidate for secretary of state. marchant is an election denier who was urged to run for office by a prominent backer of the qanon conspiracy theory. marchant is a leader in an alliance known as america first which helps backers of trump's coup attempt to run for top election offices. according to "the washington post," more than 100 republicans who backed trump's election fraud claims have already won primaries this year. in another closely watched race, republican mayra flores won a special election for a house seat in south texas which had been held by a democrat for the past 10 years. flores, who was born in mexico and is married to a border patrol agent, outspent her closest democratic rival by a margin of 16 to one. the

the republican senate race pits former nevada attorney general adam laxalt against retired army captain sam brown. laxalt is a close ally of donald trump who supported trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. a number of other republicans who supported trump scuba attempt are also on the ballot today. -- tru'suwait th to us the llot tod. the ves of 3,000 peoe who ed of cod could ve been saved ifhe unitestates h a universahealthcareystem. th's e finding of aew study published in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences usa. the study also estimates a universal healthcare system would have saved the united states $459 billion in health care costs in 2020. the study's lead author of alison galvani of the yale school of public health told scientific american -- "medicare for all would be both an economic stimulus and life-saving transformation of our health care system. it will cost people far less than the status quo." in other health news new study , a funded by the national institutes of health has concluded ivermectin is not effective at treating covid-19. the study was

frontrunner adam laxalt feeling confident on primary day as nevada republicans choose which republicany will send to the november ballot for u.s. senate. >> my name is sam brown. i'm running for u.s. senate. >> laxalt's primary sam brown running an outsider. >> folks are looking for someone who is going to look them in the eye, tell them the truth, establish a relationship and be trustworthy. >> but the former attorney general walked in to election day with a strong lead in the latest polls and an endorsement from former president trump. >> get this man elected, okay? >> the winner is expected to go head to head with incumbent senator masto who some analyst call the most vulnerable democrat in the senate. as nevadaens pay the second highest gas prices in the country, that's according to triple a and feel the pinch of rising inflation. >> my wage is like i got to definitely pinch pennies and whatnot. >> republicans have been hitting cortez masto hard for not addressing inflation in recent weeks. we reached out to her campaign but never heard back. laxalt says voters want change. >> they

. >> that's the problem, jeff, look, i think adam laxalt, who is an election liar, the republican nominee u.s. senate in nevada, i think he's been endorsed by mitch mcconnell. now, to give mitch mcconnell the senate minot leader his due, he was very clear about the election lies and came out in december about it was time to put aside the silliness and joe biden was the president elect, and then obviously, he criticized president trump after the insurrection, but if you are still part of a system that is supporting people like this nutso nevada county commissioner, then you can't pretend you're not supporting it. >> it's not a red line. clearly, senator mcconnell wants to win the nevada seat. that is the point here. that is one of the most competitive seats coming up over the next few months. so it's not a red line for senator mcconnell or sadly other republicans. i wish this was just an isolated incident, but as judge luttig said, president trump and his allies are fomenting the continuation of this lie. even more, if you look at county election officials across georgia, across michigan,

adam laxalt won the republican primary, he is a big lie believer, he's also got a name that is gold inhe state of nevada and he had lost an election for governor, been previous ag. you're right to point out the critical importance of these secretary of state races because that's where the -- that's where the constitutional crisis will come on a state by state label. >> in texas the special election there very interesting because what you have is a state where republicans are hoping to make gains among latino voters and you have a candidate winning a seat that has been in democrats hands for some time. >> this is a seat that is 85% hispanic, has been written -- drawn to be democrat. now, this special election because the democrat incumbent decided to take off was very low turnout, 29,000 voters compared to 200,000 voters who turn out in a typical general but the fact that a republican won it even for a few months is a huge brush back pitch to democrats, especially on the back of what you referred to which is hispanics moving more republican in 2020 particularly in laredo county down on

senate here in nevada, trump favorite adam laxalt isaging out sam brown for the g.o.p. nod.that primary will likely go head to head with democrat incumbent senator catherine cortez mass astro. masto.one issue that she reallyt been tackling here in recent days is inflation. of course, that now has campaign ammo for republicans bret? >> bret: a state to watch. aishah hasnie in las vegas. thanks. harrowing stories for ukrainians returning to their homes in a city devastated by the russian invasion. first, beyond our borders tonight, a looming deadline for the special legal status of israeli settlers in the occupied west bank is putting israel's government on the brink of collapse. if israel's parliament does not act, the measure will expire at the end of the month. and this is a live look at tokyo. one of the big stories there tonight, japan is easing its borders for foreign tourists and is accepting visa applications for those on guided packaged tours who are willing to follow mask-wearing and other antivirus measures. the japan tourism agency says applications are being accep

nevada, adam laxalt, who ran trumps campaign in that state won the primary to take on incumbent democratlican target. and a man who says he would not have certified the 2020 election results, marchant is the nominee for secretary of state, the job that oversees elections n. south carolina, the gop incumbent, nancy mace won her primary against a trump-backed challenger, although later in the campaign mace did try heal her split from trump. and tom rice who voted to impeach trump lost. it tells us state by state how important trump's stamp of approval remains. look at this survey from actionio. from the house, 12 hins, three losses, and for statewide offices, eight wins, six losses we are just halfway through a competitive primary season. there are more endorsed candidates out there. john hillyard is live from south carolina. and tim miller from the bull work is back with us. von, what are republicans taking away from the playbook in south carolina? >> yeah, chris, look, tom rice was the first republican who voted to impeach donald trump, who willingly stood up and put his name back on a p

republicans had to pick an opponent they havehosen adam laxalt, a former attorney general in nevada.t, that's a name, if you go back a couple decades in nevada politics, his grandfather was a lum nary in the republican politics. laxalt filing suit after the 2020 election trying to contest the results. laxalt gets the nomination for the u.s. senate. again, this is a state joe biden won in 2020 by two points. the popular vote nationally in 2020 was biden by 4.5. while biden did win nevada, nevada is a bit to the right of the country. in a year like 2022, that makes any democrat on the ballot vulnerable. that's the senate race. on the governor's side democrat steve sisolak is running for re-election. a trump-backed candidate, joe lombardo the sheriff of clarke county, the biggest county in the state, he wins the republican nomination there. and then this is the one, the secretary of state primary, we didn't used to cover secretary of state primaries too much on but in the wake of 2020, we've seen the importance of the office of secretary of state, chief election officer in a lot of thes

adam laxalt, running for the senate, eagerly endorsed by -- lashed himself to president trump, and theny interesting -- talk about that, but also a really interesting secretary of state candidate. annie: oh, yes. i mean, i hate to do this, but ming out of nevada, donald trump really did have a royal flush. i mean, every person he endorsed ended up advancing. and the laxalt seat is particularly interesting. that's the senate primary. and he was backed not only by trump, but also by trump's son donald trump jr., who in the last sort of moments of the campaign, the last days of the campaign, went out there and campaigned with him. and so what you'reeeing in nevada is donald trump jr. also sort of establishing a power base of his own. he did the same thing in ohio, where he went out and really went in big for j.d. vance, and there was a success there too. and then the secretary of state race, and that's really the one to watch, i think. i meanwe're not used to paying close attention to secretary of state races. judy: for su. annie: i mean, i think most of -- most people probably didn't know

adam laxalt has won the republican nomination for a pivotal nevada senate seat. his victory sets up a fierce november contest to topple incumbent democrat catherine cortez masto in a race that could swing power in the u.s. senate. laxalt is a former nevada attorney general who had the backing of former president trump and the gop establishment . he's considered one of his party's best candidates to flip a seat in the 15% senate this fall. cortez masto, successor of the late senator harry reid, is making her first real reelection campaign in the swing states and as we reported earlier, a major development in south carolina where voters have chosen to oust congressman tom price from office. this is a significant outcome because rice voted to impeach trump over the january six capital riot. rice is the first of the 10 house republicans who voted to impeach trump to lose a reelection. the five term congressman was defeated by state representative russell frye. frye was endorsed by trump. rice was a strong supporter of trump's policies in washington but said he was le

democrats are now playing dirty and how to explain a republican candidate for senate in nevada, adam laxalt is with us. so a couple of things are happening in these primaries. your primary takes place tomorrow is one you've got rino republicans that are pouring tons of money against trump endorse candidates. is that happening there? and what are the dirty tricks are happening out there? well, look, my opponent is closing the race with msnbc and cnn. so, you know, i don't know that i need to really comment more on that . but you know, george soros has put a couple of million dollars in this race in the last few weeks to close it out. certainly the same things happen on the gov primary. but john , the bottom line is that they are very, very scared about us beating senator catherine cortez masto, chuck schumer spend his first political dollar in this state to try to rescue her because she's sitting at 40%. she's been deemed the most vulnerable democrat senator in america. and so we're going to expect unfortunately a lot more of this to you know, because you've you've been polling head to head

i think thatnas almost i think almost certainly out of adam laxalt is going to winva in nevada.hink that you're going too see us pick up state afterbe state because what happens you saw last yearpe in new jersey yu had a guy win beat the senate president had done just won the race. no, he only spent t twenty three hundred dollars, most of it at dunkin donuts on his volunteer. but what ha but people well, what happened was people walkedpped i in and d not him about the state senate president. t and when they said not him, f they voted foror joe . by the way, the state senatego president four years ago won the most expensive legislative race in the country. seventeen million dollars. he got beat this last year for twenty three hundred bucks and now you're going to see that happen allll tross across the country. ave -- and you could have i i just saw a report today from one of the analysts that you could have and all republicans ro congressional delegation from iowa when this year is t over every place you look, the guys who really study this and the men and women who study this ar
