so in that sense, you still won't see brian kemp. you will not hear brian kemp say a bad word publicly about about donald trump when he's asked about the endorsement and about, you know, his his opponents trump back campaign. he'll focus on david purdue or focus on his own agenda and he'll just say hey, i can't control what other people are doing. i can only control what i'm doing and that's become as sort of standard line again. you're not going to hear him bash the president the former president. you won't hear him trying to engage in a in a fight with him because he's not gonna win that fight right now. he's not gonna he doesn't have more twitter follow well, he does now, but he doesn't have more email followers or all this. it doesn't have the same megaphone that the former president has or the same appeal nationally, but what he does have that he's running on is a record that he thinks the conservative voters will end up supporting. speaking of stacey abrams winning instead of bryan camp if that were a possibility. what is the d

brian kemp has already beaten stacey abrams in a statewide race for his own election.a big concern i hear from republicans. they are terrified that stacey abrams might become the governor. she's playing a huge role in this gop primary and then in november, of course, up until then she's had the entire field to herself. the first thing voters saw after that debate was an ad from stacey abrams, big smile on her face, very positive message. she has the room to do that because she's unopposed right now. >> there's only one candidate up here that's defeated her in the past, he said, and that's me. thank you as always. >>> still ahead, ukrainians worried the city of kharkiv is in a strategic position near russian supply lines and under constant shelling in the east and could now be the next mariupol. we'll take you there, up next. if your moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks... choose stelara® from the start... and move toward relief after the firsdose... with injtions every two months. stelara® may increase your r

it was a lot that was signed into effect by governor brian kemp to benefit governor brian kemp. >> iteems familiar, doesn't it? >> doesn't it? >> he has a very long track record of using his position of power to abuse it. so we took him to federal court. and we did not win the first time, so we took him back. this week we had a big win. and he got a 5 million-dollar head start on our campaign. he gave himself an unlimited ability to raise money. the rest of us had limits. so many viewers, you should go to stacey abrams.com, we have it mid light deadline tomorrow, we are trying to catch up. here is the thing, i know it is a terrifying time in our country as really reflecting on your last panel. here in georgia, just this week the governor was signing legislation that allows parents to ban books in our schools. that allows bullies to basically prevent trans kids from playing sports with their friends, and on, and on. i would deposit that the republican party is the grand old party of home wrecking. this is a dangerous party that is anti our kids, allowing hospitals to close in the pande

those are the clashes between brian purdue and brian kemp where they were almost nose to nose, this wast of and from the get go it was david perdue's mission and it was his intent to get rnd brian kemp's skin which i think he did and appeal to the trump voters because he's behind the polls and he doesn't have the media attention that brian kemp has because he can't command the powers of incumbency and he is trying to rev up every single conservative voter he possibly can to come out to the may 24th primary, because as he said he's running out of time and way behind in the polls. >> it shows him trailing kemp by 24 points and i wonder how that plays to the posture from david perdue because he and kemp were collegial before this, weren't they? >> this is the first time they've shared the same stage since david perdue entered the race for governor in december and kemp sees that as the ultimate betrayal and he sees that as just a real shot in the dark, sort of a really a betrayal, and look, david perdue is backed in the corner right now. he's behind in the poeshlgs as you said. he's behind

donald trump's hatred of brian kemp is based on governor kemp's refusal to commit state and federal crimesd try to overthrow the election results for the president in georgia. and before i tell you which of these candidates is way ahead of the other, take a look at the republican disarray in georgia caused by donald trump and senator john ossoff, who will be joining us on this program tonight. >> first off, folks, let me be very clear tonight. the election in 2020 was rigged and stolen. all the madness we see from the biden administration, all that must be in georgia when they allowed radical democrats to seal our election. >> i don't need to be lectured by some on the lost their last election about what our voting laws are. >> you're the top cop in the states. is your job to make sure that we prosecute voter fraud. >> the fact is, if you haven't lost your rates to john all saw. we would've lost control of the senate. and we do not have the disaster that we have in washington right now. >> this governor kemp, once again, authorizing that john ossoff won his senate race against cuba purdue

what he told leaders in this call according to the book is brian kemp was key, that brian kemp had toe and then as a result of what happened in michigan and pennsylvania they would follow suit and he tells the republican leaders, mitch mcconnell and others, that he had spoken in two other states and had some assurances they would also follow suit. mcconnell didn't respond and said we have to focus on georgia, the senate race happening on january 5th. it was clear he wanted the candidates to listen to him but they didn't. >> this is from the book, setting this up to blame the governor and the secretary of state, he's always setting up somebody to blame it on. the effort to flip brian kemp, of how mitch mcconnell was part, trying to flip everybody, help me, help me, help me. didn't work. >> mitch mcconnell since then, since mid-december, december 15th when he declared joe biden had won the race, acknowledged reality, at that point in the aftermath he has not spoken with donald trump since. but trump and mcconnell were speaking a lot in the aftermath of the november elections. trump was

you have brian kemp in georgia who certified to donald trump's chagrin the 2020 lx.ff by the debate last night by saying this was a stolen election here. and what you are coming to in these next 30 days is not only the georgia race with its primary on may 24th, but you have the ohio primary on may 3rd in which donald trump endorsed jd vance. you have the primary in pennsylvania where donald trump endorsed dr. oz.. what we're going to get to over the next 30 days is really an answer to the question of does donald trump still have that dynamic influence to sway voters to vote for his candidate. >> the thing that unites vance and dr. oz. is they are both the most famous people running in those races. -- it does suggest about his vetting and his process that he found himself backing just at that very surface level just other guys who are famous. does that tell us anything about how seriously he's diving into these races? >> this is the cast of characters that he wants around him. it's so much like any other television show. how you operate on washington, d.c. up on capit

i interviewed really bright guy was the one who made these ads for brian kemp and brian kemp ran as a full trump republican in the primary ad with a pickup truck. he said standing in front of his pickup truck. i'm gonna drive this baby around the state and around me up some illegals and he won he won the primary on the the of his trump impersonation. well this the strategist was telling me that the that episode. was it really illustrated how republicans have turned to what he called stylistic conservatism. it's about attitude. um more than it is about any policy or or ideology. and so there's the famous republican proverbial stool that had three legs. they always used to say fiscal conservatives social conservatives and military hawks, and that was the republican party of ronald reagan that he built. well this strategist. identified a fourth leg. he said that he called the stylistic leg and that's really the one i think that is holding up the republican party today. yeah, the other ones have actually gotten somewhat rickety to some degree depending on who we're talking about. but but

>> brian kemp sold us out. >> david perdue is going after brian kemp for certifying the election in 2020rimary. putting up election deniers in november could prove risky for the gop. >> the risk is losing. >> republican strategist jason cable row said even with the challenging environment for democrats, republicans still need to strike a broader appeal. >> relitigating the 2020 election is popular with republican voters. it's not popular with non-republican voters. the idea we can win without independents and some conservative swing democrats coming our way is ignoring the reality of michigan politics. >> over at the gop endorsement conventions, appearances from election deniers like mike lindell and rudy giuliani. as republicans convene for more than ten hours. after two rounds of voting, two hand recounts, and a ballot snafu that paused voting for an hour. >> do not resume voting. all voting is paused. >> and left republicans grumbling over election integrity, the trump backed candidates cleaned up. >> support the america first ticket. support the president donald trump. >> with matt d

brian kemp is well ahead in the polls of david purdue. president trump endorsed the lieutenant governor against the very popular governor of idaho brad little i think brad little is going to win were going to see races like this around the country just like we saw last year in texas special election and congressional districts six in which the former president endorsed somebody and somebody else won the nomination. in that case now congressman jake elzie. the president is diminishing himself as to why he is doing this i don't know except to make certain he is copyable in office that he feels are personally obligated to him. but is not going to win as many contest particular the general election i think is going to have problems. last weekend there was a convention in michigan which two of his people were nominated for attorney general and secretary of state's. both of whom are election deniers. they are going to make the center of their campaign the election was stolen in a state in donald trump lost by i think 150,000 votes. that is not

gubernatorial candidates david perdue and brian kemp.began the debate by saying that the election was rigged, that president trump actually won reelection, and then it became a theme through much of the rest of the debate. >> he said it was a clean election. >> i didn't ever say that. i have never said that. ever. >> do not deny saying it was a clean election? >> i never said it was a clean election. you are putting words in my mouth. >> the difference between you and me is the fact that you think that jon ossoff and biden won fair and square. you are telling the people of georgia that that is what the truth is and you want us to swallow that and move on. >> let me remind you i can speak for myself and that is not what i said. i have always said there is fraud in every election. judy: you now have both of these candidates talking about fraud. what does it say about where republicans are right now? >> only one of them has been a borst -- endorsed by donald trump, david perdue, who lost his bid in the runoff election in january this year.

[ cheers ] >> seth: trump's crowds will chant "lock them up" about anyone now [ light laughter ] you could be hillary clinton or the ultraconservative governor of georgia -- doesn't matter if you cross trump, they want you in jail. next they're going to turn their ire on wind and umbrellas and the sun. [ laughter ] and there are times when, i have to say, even trump doesn't seem to have his heart in it. trump's whole bit is trolling. he trolls the media and liberals, and his disciples have picked up the mantle, like florida congressman matt gaetz, the only person on earth, this is interesting, whose funko pop would have a smaller head. [ laughter ] gaetz appeared at the rally and once again floated an idea he's pitched before, to make trump speaker of the house if republicans win the midterms in november but trump did not have much of a reaction >> give u

there is nobody donald trump hated more than brian kemp. he repeatedly bashed brian kemp.e of the trumpiest people, one of the trumpiest republicans in elected office until he was asked to lie about a presidential election by donald trump. then he refused to do it. he is getting absolutely crushed in georgia which, you know, georgia is kind of the new florida. it is georgia, georgia, georgia. it's a critical state in 2024. >> yeah. i mean, i think democrats would have to do so differently. i think republicans can sort of speak as fellow team members here. they can say, look, you know, you keep -- republicans have basically underperformed in every election since 2016, you know, compared to their earlier ones. i think trump, when he is on the ballot, he actually brings a lot of base out to vote, which was helpful to a lot of congressional candidates, especially in 2020. but the fact is, i mean, trump has been bad for republicans getting elected down ballot. >> yeah. >> yes, he has juiced turnout in some cases, but they've been pretty consistent in looking at numbers that rep

trump endorsed former senator david perdue who's running against incumbent republican governor brian kempoff, folks, let me be very clear tonight. the election in 2020 was rigged and stolen. we are going to see tonight, unfortunately, is an embattled governor. a career politician. 20 years. who's got handlers to distract away from the fact that he sold us out and qassem in of the united states senate. >> that's rich. career politician purdue was just in the senate for multiple terms before he got turf doubt because people thought they shouldn't vote because eagle chavez's ghost was counting the tally anyway. those big lie talking points to over the first 20 minutes of the entire hour-long primary debate. >> the only reason i'm not in the united states senate is because you gave then we gave the elections to stacey -- to liberal democrats in 2020. and we had a court case right, now a civil court case where the judge ruled that the evidence was compelling. and he actually ruled to unseal the balance. i know you telling the people of georgia, not one person violated the law in voter fraud in

amy: georgia republican governor brian kemp has signed a raft of bills overhauling public education in the state, including one banning books deemed offensive disk libraries. and that bars classroom discussion of so-called divisive concepts pertaining to race. the protect students first act also empowers an athletic oversight committee to exclude transgender children from playing high school sports. in a statement, human rights campaign wrote -- "self-serving politicians, catering to an extreme portion of their party's base, are showing that they're willing to harm vulnerable kids who just want to play with their friends." meanwhile, governor kemp signed a bill instituting a flat rate for state income taxes that will disproportionately benefit wealthy georgians. a new analysis of fortune 100 investor filings shows that 19 of the most profitable corporations in the united states are paying little or no federal income tax. the center for american progress found at&t and dow inc. paid zero federal income taxes last year. in fact, despite nearly in $30 billion earnings, at&t reported a tax

the likes of brian kemp for arizona governor doug doocy, when they've been tasked to prove this conspiracyhat last rally in january, who was not at the rally? it was mark burovic, they were at the rally there and meanwhile it was president trump, you can see him up there on that stage there in january in arizona. he was calling on burnovic to find the evidence of fraud that would have overturned the election but clearly this is an attorney general that finds himself in a very difficult position, trying to get the respect of the former president but unable to do so. >> thanks so much, vaughn hillyard. and good luck to your diamondbacks tonight. and the u.n. general assembly has now voted. they have voted to expel russia or suspend russia from the human rights council for three years and the vote was 93, i so, 93 votes in favor. we'll talk the u.n. ambassador coming up in the noon hour. >>> and the families in mourning. up next. what one devastated mother told us about surviving the russian attack that killed her son. you're watching a special edition of "andrea mitchell reports." . we're in

and challenge against brian kemp when.oesn't seem like it's going that well, what does that race look like? >> it's not as close as many thought would be right now governor kemp is ahead by double digits over david perdue in the most recent polls. and he's got more money, he's got more outside support, he's got more endorsements, i think vividly for him, he has the next few weeks, he's going on the states and signing a bunch of bills, many of them geared toward the conservative audience. just a few hours ago, he signed a guns expansion which allows them to carry concealed guns without premise. that's something that the conservatives in georgia wanted for a long time. the something he will use again and they were purdue on the campaign trail. >> i think, a strange as it sounds, michelle, the seem to me that it is very important for the cause of american democracy. and also, for the possibility of trump's political power, and what it would mean if you are reelected, that he loses a lot of these high-profile endorsement races

brian kemp signed a series of education bills into law this week that will restrict discussions of race to be excluded from sports. joining me is randi, president of the federation of teachers. and msnbc political analyst susan. why is my question? why has the gop picked a schools as the battleground to fight these cultural war issues? >> because, right now, it is easy. here's the thing, zerlina. it is bad politics. it is bad policy. let's start off with the politics. you cannot grow a party and continue as a political organization if you keep telling people they are not welcome here, that they passed laws that are meant to hurt, meant to turn away. it may help them in a short term primaries but this is very bad political operations. it is frankly, dumb. on a policy issue, it is beyond harmful and hurtful to any school, to any child. i'm sure randy can get into this more. what is worse, it is bad government. there is a school teacher, they let me re-say that. there is a teacher shortage in georgia schools. with that, with a bill that sets out to a punish teachers, potentially, you will

governor brian kemp is expected to sign a new bill into law, that will allow people to carry concealeduns in public without a permit. now there will be some really elation's, if you are convicted felon, and you can't bring that concealed gun into a government building or into the airport. but the governor signing this bill into law that many people believe will loosen gun restrictions here. while the biden ministration is trying to tighten gun regulations across the country. nadia romero, cnn, atlanta. >> and coming up, the top ranked golfer in the world, is now a masters champion. how scotty scheffler dominated the competition at augusta when we come back. ry near vision. wait, what? it sounded like you u just said an eye drop that may help you see up close. i did. it's an innovative way to... so, wait. i don't always have to wear reading glasses? yeah! vuity™ helps you see up close. so, i can see up close with just my eyes? uh-huh. with one drop in each eye, once daily. in focus? yep. [laughs] like, really? really. vuity™ is a prescription eye drop to help you see up close. ow! wait,

the governor, brian kemp, will almost certainly sign this into law.he georgia department of education has already started making new instructional videos to help history teachers comply. >> the georgia department of education presents -- "american history: white people edition." america was founded in 1776 when jesus washington landed on mount rushmore to declare, "i have a dream." these are the founding fathers. as you can see, they are all white. not "hamilton" at all. later, there was a civil war between two good sides. 1862, president lincoln signs the emancipation proclamation, making america officially not racist. and lincoln was a republican. which means -- republicans love black people the most. go ahead and sit up front, rosa. you're welcome. 1964. lyndon johnson signs the civil rights act, making america officially totally not racist for real. 1980, the gipper makes america great. 2008, barack obama [ bleep ]s it up. 2016, trump makes it great again. but then brandon [ bleep ] the bed and everything sucks forever. >> the american dream is de

then there are cases like georgia, where republican governor brian kemp is generally pro-maga in worldiew. except for, he failed to support the attempted coup by trump and for that sin he is hated by trump. and trump is running a scorched earth campaign to destroy kemp, which does not seem to be working. incumbent governor is trumping for senator david perdue, handpicked alternative, who is campaigning on the big lie. there's less than a month until voters decide which man will be the republican nominee for governor. so, the central question in this year's primaries is just how much a trump endorsement is worth, really. natalie allison is a reporter for politico. he has been covering senate races across the country, including the vance race in ohio. she joins me now. let's start with that open question. i do think it is a sort of complicated question. there are many factors at play. it does seem that everyone wants to kiss the ring. everyone wants trump's endorsement. people do not speak poorly of him. what it also seems like is that the actual endorsement itself sometimes really helps

brian kemp, the governor, defended the election as safe and secure even though biden won his state bybelieved, and neither should perdue and loeffler." trump's strategy in the georgia runoff was to continue to say the election was rigged but we know how that worked out for him in georgia. right now, though, right ahead of the primaries and the midterms, you've got plenty of republican candidates fully embracing election lies. do you think that's going to backfire for them? >> i don't, actually. what we see time and time again is donald floats a trial balloon and see what happens. in georgia it didn't work but that's because at the time, it seemed so outrageous. now, however, republicans are seeing their opportunity. this may be one of their last chances to grab power, because that's all they're interested in, maintaining power no matter what cost and no matter how illegitimately. we're in a situation a year later, where in order to be a viable republican candidate, you have to pretend that you believe the 2020 election was stolen from president biden. >> how does that work, though, ma

governor brian kemp who served to fide the 2020 election, despite much opposition from trump. and trump has been author ever since. so that's where he's gonna dip in a little bit into the money. but again, mostly, this money is going to fund his future political and diverse, and for trump, having the money is power. one of the powers he has is not just popular among republican voters, it's that the party is raising money when he's doubling the money of the party cell phone is set the front raising emails. they sent it with his name. his name is the one raising so much money for republicans. >> so, shane, how is the tension between trump and republican party leaders in d. c., in particular playing out? you report that is enduring put polarity with the base fry and some of them, like house leader kevin mccarthy who was, quote, trying to keep mr. trump on the sidelines and some primaries. mccarthy made a pilgrimage to mar-a-lago to take a picture as well. >> the relationship to mccarthy and trump is fairly different than mcconnell and trump. the senate republican leader. mcconnel

you've got stacey abrams, who is expected to challenge maybe brian kemp, maybe not.t's what folks have been able to get done. and if you look at, for instance, infrastructure bill. that is a bipartisan, legislative accomplishment from this white house, that in my opinion, democrats should be going out and talking about. not what we will do, this is what we did. governor whitmer, she ran in her race, her first race, when she was running for governor. her slogan was, fix the damn roads. she got more than $10 billion from the federal government to help fix the damn roads, put $3.5 billion in her own budget to fix the damn roads and just brokered a bipartisan agreement in her state legislature for $4.7 billion to fix the damn roads. that's what democrats need to run on if they would like to be successful. >> point to the wins. >> exactly. if i was advising republicans back in the day, which i wasn't, but if i was, okay, i think republican strategists are sitting around saying, look, let's point to all the things they say that they were going to do and that they didn't ge

the subject of georgia, there was a debate for governor last night between the current governor brian kempnator who lost and has the support of donald trump. i want to play for you how david perdue the very first words out of his mouth at this debate. listen. >> folks, let me be very clear tonight. the election in 2020 was rigged and stolen. >> so there you have it. >> what a sad state of affairs, something that should be disqualifying now seems like it's the litmus test. this is donald trump's guy, the cardinal sin apparently from governor kemp was refusing to not -- not not certify the election which is what he wanted and that seems to be the real crux of this. that's why he doesn't have the support of trump, the de facto leader of the party and why this is now being used as sort of a -- being trumpeted as a good thing. >> and it's so pathetic to see david perdue trot out this line as his front line of defense because he likely knows it's a lie. these people are lying to protect a liar but it's his best argument for winning the primary and so it should be disqualifying. the guy lost his

example, former senator david perdue was tasked by trump to go ahead and beat georgia governor brian kempreally gave trump a bad time with vote counting. idaho lieutenant governor taking on governor brad little, well behind him. trump has rescinded the endorsement of mo brooks, who was on the january 6th insurrection meeting, because he can't make enough money for candidacy. and candidates are doing badly from arizona to nebraska to massachusetts. the list goes on and on. and the fact is, they're just not carrying the load, despite that wonderful, at least historically, trump name. >> yeah, with his endorsement typically you would think comes success. so are these isolated examples or are we seeing a larger trend, perhaps? >> well, there may be a trend. and here, once again, we look at data. and if you go back to last november of 2000, just around the time of the election, you see 54% of republicans say they value trump over the party. now you jump forward to last january and you see the data almost reversed. 52% saying the party is more important than trump. trump does not necessarily re

but later today, on the flip side of our gun politics, georgia's governor brian kemp is signing a lawndgun without a permit in this state. now, there are some folks who believe an armed society is a polite society. and there are others who believe that people with guns are more likely to kill other people. but this debate is all happening at a time when a new gallup poll shows concern about crime in america is at the highest level since 20 16, with 53% saying they worry about it a great deal. there is a partisan divide even here with 61% of republicans saying they are very worried compared to just 43% of democrats. so what is the real deal? well, here are the facts from the fbi. 2020 saw a 30% increase in homicides, and a 5% increase in bound crimes, the most recent year to date. those numbers are still far below the battle days of the early 1990s. let's make it concrete. last year police recorded 488 murders in new york city. every one a tragedy. that is still far below the more than 2,000 people killed each year in the early 1990s. on march of this year, major crime was up in new yo
