it's been heading this way for a while that mike pence's top aide, mark short, was with bryan kemp.ing for ways to separate out from trump and highlight that he does not support trump's false claims about the 2020 election. remember, it was thoese claims that lead to hang mike pence chants. i don't think trump is happy about this. how he chooses to vent that or make it public remains to be seen. look, mike pence is coming in at a time when it's clear that bryan kemp is in a pretty good position. it's not as if pence is going to put him over the top. pence is making a statement. >> president trump used to be a big fan of the governor kemp. during the early days of covid i remember him at press conferences talking about how great the governor was and how he have handling it so well. was it only that kemp wasn't touting the big lie that turned him against lhim? >> he's been unhappy with kemp for a while going back to the choice of kelly leffler to take the open senate seat in georgia a couple of years ago. that was the source of the rift between the two of them. trump credited himself

bush who signed off on the entire results in georgia, that's bryan kemp fending off challenge by david the two could not be further apart when it comes to the 2020 election. >> the election in 2020 was stolen, bryan kemp will allow democrats to steal the election. >> what i have done is followed the law and constitution, what david is doing is trying to go back and litigate an election that he lost. >> like i said, cannot be more stark. so if you view how a republican sees the 2020 election as the litmus test, georgia is, and we're just hours, days away from that primary. jones, former special adviser to president obama, and commentator here and kasic former governor of ohio, as we show the latest polls, kemp now running away with this, the margin here is 32 points in favor of points over purdue, that's the latest poll from fox news. is, what do you make of that? and obviously, as goes georgia doesn't necessarily go the overall country but what does this say about that litmus test? >> i think that's very significant and a real blow to donald trump if in fact the margins hold up for the

>> well it makes a lot of sense for pence to show up here and try to take a victory lap with bryan kempe position on the 2020 election which displeased donald trump so it makes sense for trump to be in for kemp and by the way, not like it's a close race like we have in pennsylvania, running circles around purdue and a run-off all together, when this race started out it wasn't sure how it would go to smart move by pence to get in and take a victory lap there with bryan kemp and this will be a primary where trump certainly has an egg on his face. not many but this will be one of them and if you're mike pence looking at running against possibly donald trump for president in 2024, you need to be able to show people there's a way to run as a republican in this country, not go down trump's road on the 2020 election and still maintain your conservative credentials, still maintain your ability to influence republican voters. this is a good way to do it in georgia. >> and you know mike pence knows that, of course, he knows the moves he's making and very clearly okay with making that statement an

bryan kemp is a turn-coat, a coward, he's a disaster. i'm ashamed i endorsed him. brian kemp let us down, we can't let it happen again. >> that kind of open hospitilit was expected, what was not is a former president and vice-president split into a chasm. maggie haggerman, i mean, this rift is growing. does this statement is -- assume it takes it to another level. >> it's very intense, very personal. it's the kind of thing, i mean i was thinking about, a, there's no precedent for this in modern history with a former president and vice-president i can think of but i was trying to think of the last time you heard trump really criticize pence and of course, it was around january 6th, in 2021 in really stark terms. i think part of what trump is reacting to is not just what pence is doing in georgia but the fact that pence told my colleague jonathan martin he was not ruling out running in 2024 and i think that's the big thing trump is reacting to. >> i also want to bring in two political cnn commentators, former obama senior adviser and david urban, former trump campaig

david purdue is his candidate for georgia governor against bryan kemp. the governor who refused to help trump cheat. we'll see the big lie again factor in next week. >> yeah. i think next week a lot of poem are watching these races for multiple reasons. it seems like the candidates that did stick up, the trump factor will be a big test. they're seeing people were proud of kemp and what he did in 2020. we're in the early chapters. >>> up next, new and chilling details. right before shoppers were killed in a local grocery store. live to buffalo, next. re in some sort of lover's quarrel. no, no, no. they're both invested... in green energrgy. and also each other. digital tools so impressive, you just can't stop.. what would you like the power to do? san francisco is getting back on its feet. people are heading back to the office and out with friends across the city. prop a ensures that muni delivers you there quickly and safely. with less wait time and fewer delays. and a focus on health and safety in every neighborhood through zero emissions fleets. best o

georgia where it looks like his favor candidate, pretty will go down by a wide margin to governor bryan kemp one of his first targets when it came to this. the attitude i think trump ought to have in this moment is one of saying, being able to claim victory, claim a lot of his candidates were vindicated in their approach but it's keep in mind, there is complexity. jd fans was one of the biggest critics of donald trump when he was initially rising through the political scene so i think that is a circumstance that's going to be interesting when he gets to the senate to see how he approaches this assuming he can beat tim ryan in the fall. this will be collocated series of elections and a lot of people like me will try to see how powerful is donald trump? at the end of the day i think a lot of outcomes will determine not whether he runs or not because i believe he will but how big of a challenge he gets from a potential challenger. how does montesano's read the room? kennedy: how should he? should he run even if trump runs? >> that's the question on my mind, you can see to florida man going afte

bryan kemp has done a good job of leading the state through the election. the middle. he's going to continue to be our governor. david purdue ran a synthetic campaign because he believed what donald trump said. if he endorsed him, he'd win and he didn't. he didn't get money, the support and he's not going to win. >> the same poll found that 37% of georgia republican primary voters said trump's endorsement make them more supportive of more perdue almost the same as it had no effect. 24% saying it made them less supportive. is his support becoming less potent in georgia? >> absolutely. i think it's all over the country. a year ago, who would have thought that the two most poisonous endorsement would be joe biden on the democrat side and donald trump on the republican side going into these primaries and going into the generals. it's wild to think but that's really what's playing out right here. in georgia continues to be on the tip of the spear. i think the rest of the country will learn the lesson we're learning that it's about leadership, quality of the kapd

bryan kemp is getting support from the former vice president, pence.is mean for the landscape, particularly for democrat, stacy abrams, who you are helping ing support across state? how might that will influential? >> while they are in middle of their family feud and tryingouc talking to every voter. >> all right. good luck as you led out to the rally here in atlanta. there's some 200 across the country coast to coast. >> big day. >> thanks so much. glad to see you in person. we are saflly at a distance here and now in the same studio. >> and tested negative. mpblt a gop senate delegation makes an announced visit to ukraine. we're live in kyiv, next. prevents crabgrass, and feeds your lawn. all three, in just one bag. i like that. scotts turf buililder triple action. it's lawn season. let's get to the yard. as a main street bank, pnc has helped over 7 million kids develop their passion for learning through our grow up great initiative. and now, we're proving billions of dollars for affordable home lending programs... as pt of 88 billion to support unde

a fox news poll out this past week and we see, get this, a 32 point advantage for bryan kemp.not have a run off. it's more than that. perdue has been going after everyone for last few months. what's been the result? the result is the lead has risen. it's gone from 11 points to 32 points and there's a reason why the local paper said that perdue is hiding and why donald trump really is not going all out for david perdue because he knows he will get embarrassed on that primary on tuesday. >> if that is the case, that's also with lying to people saying the election was stolen as part of his campaign which is just not true. there's verifiable evidence that it's not true. tell us how trump's endorsement played a factor at all for perdue. did it help him in what is your take on that? >> i mean, if you look at the numbers, it means kind of, sort of. look, the question was did trump's endorsement of perdue make your more supportive of perdue. 37% of voters said yes. that was the plurality opinion. if you add that 24% with that 36% who said no effect, what we see is the clear majority o
