it's all about chantelle brown. >> tuesday's election is a key test for the party's direction and the biden agenda. with candidates and other groups flooding the airwaves, spending

how important is chantelle brown to president biden's agenda? lping the president's agenda. so much so that turner has seized upon it. >> being a puppet is another. >> i would consider a puppet someone who has been on the national stage delivering catch phrases like, hello somebody. i am a partner who knows what it takes to sit at the negotiating table to get things done. >> that was a not so subtle crack at one of turner's signature phrases. >> hello somebody. hello somebody. >> the acrimony has intensified, but the rivals found themselves side by side sunday at church. >> one of you will be a congresswoman. >> where brown extended her hand to turner as this battle is left to ohio voters to settle. >> now, what's being debated right now in congress, those biden infrastructure bills, are exactly why the party establishment is so focused on races like this. now, party leaders are quite frankly worried about the squad gaining a new member. of course, that being nina turner. they say the president needs more allies, not more antagonists. of course,

moderate chantel brown defeating the progressive candidate nina turner in a special primary electionknow you've been tracking this race there in ohio. how big of a deal is this for the democratic ic establishmen? >> it's a big deal. they were all in on this race. it was a sleepy special election happening this summer. very low turnout. but in the last several weeks the establishment, the full weight of the party has been behind chantel brown, the local democratic chair. she was campaigning on helping president biden's agenda. the white house stayed out of this race but the president was front and center in this. who is going to be sent to help and be an ally not an antagonist. that's where nina turner comes in. she was a member of the squad. look, i'll help the president when needed but i need to push him in a progressive way. she had a ton of help from the outside, too. bernie sanders as well. this is one of the latest examples of how the moderate wing of the party, the establishment wing of the party, the president's wing of the party, really is being victorious in these elections.

. >> chantelle brown. >> yes. chantelle brown stuck to president biden in her campaign commercials.resting, like, king maker and there was a conversation about this on msnbc last night. congressman james clyburn came out for her early, somebody who was helpful to biden, and the endorsement by the congressional black caucus. you can be way down in polls and money, but you can win by being positive, and moderate democrats are hoping that this is a sign that the twitter verse is wrong, the left part of the party gets the attention and seems to have the momentum, a big part of america still more moderate in the biden mold and that's why it matters. >> brown, i should know, coming up in "morning joe" shortly. there's a trend here of some of the more moderate democrats winning the races. first of all, james clyburn, this is an endorsement to have. we saw eric adams in new york city, terry mccullough in the democratic primary field in virginia. there are several others. that's who's winning votes, and it's interesting that primaries tend to draw the most passionate voters, which are usuall

but one heavily watched democratic primary concluded this week, and shortly i'll ask chantel brown, the winner of that high-profile ohio congressional race about her state's political future ahead of next year's midterms. >>> but first, joining me now, senator michael bennett of colorado, a democrat. senator bennet, thank you, vice president harris was on capitol hill today to discuss the plan. the senate was in a special saturday session. much of today to consider the bill, a procedural vote coming back 67-27. with these signs, are you confident that the bill will ultimately pass, senator? [ no audio ] >> okay. we've got technical difficulties with the senator. let me see if we can straighten that out. let me move on to this. as the delta variant of covid-19 ravages several states and gop governors refuse, if not punish compliance with medical guidance, mayors find themselves in a tough position. and this week, one made a tough decision. joining me now, one of those mayors, frank scott, the mayor of little rock, arkansas. mayor scott, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you so m

chantel brown wins. cuyahoga county councilwoman brown won the democratic primary.ed former state senator nina turner by five percentage points with all precincts reporting. that is from the cleveland plain dealer. some news on the vaccine front from the new york times about the pfizer vaccine and approval. fda aims to fully approve pfizer vaccine by next month. the surge of covid-19 infections ripping through much of the u.s. , the fda is accelerating its timetable to fully approve pfizer's coronavirus vaccine. president biden said last week that he expected a fully approved vaccine in early fall. the fda's unofficial deadline is labor day or sooner. the agency said that the leaders recognized and approval might inspire more public confidence and has taken a all hands on deck approach. giving final approval to the pfizer vaccine rather than relying on the emergency authorization granted late last year by the fda could help increase inoculation rates at a moment when the highly transmissible delta variant is sharply driving up the number of new cases. let's get to y

voters in the 11th congressional district handed a victory to the establishment candidate chantel brown was backed by hillary clinton, jim clyburn, and the congressional black caucus. she beat progressive candidate nina turner, a longtime bernie sanders ally who now famously compared voting to eating a bowl of excrement. [ laughter ] it really is interesting seeing how this played out in ohio. we were all watching this because we hear republicans often talk about how democrats are these liberal socialists, right? but then you see brown's win in ohio as well as eric adams in new york city. president biden, sure doesn't seem like progressives have control of the democratic party. >> well, as an ohioan, i think ohio voters are very far from socialism. if you look at the district in which brown and turner were running, that was former secretary fudge's district. before that congressman stephanie tubbs jones. very democratic, black women, northeast working-class folks. nina turner has had success in the state, but her progressive agenda just didn't seem to resonate with voters. so it's not t

former president trump will win the republican primary in ohio's 15th congressional district and chantel brownngressman james clyburn and by hillary clinton and defeated progressive hopeful nina turner who had been endorsed by senator bernie sanders and congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. joining us now to discuss this is cnn political director david chalian and this was fascinating to watch. the first thing i want to do is actually play what nina turner said in her concession speech to give people a sense of how nonkumbaya this moment is. let's listen. >> see, we didn't lose this race. evil money manipulated and maligned in this election. it took evil money to come in here and do this. but i swear to you that as sure as there is a god in heaven, sister turner going to continue working with every fiber of her being until true justice reigns. >> what does this race say to you about the state of affairs in the party? >> well, it says to me that this now is fitting a pattern that we've seen over the last year. let's start with joe biden's democratic primary victory in the presidential race. o

how would you make my community safer through that lens, the wind by chantel brown should not be as surprisingpeople. judy: the other ohio primary race, the trump-endorsed candidate, david, emerged, guess, not a huge surprise. donald trump has influence. david: especially when it is a 12-person race. the trump guy will have a huge advantage. it is hard to win a republican primary if donald trump is not on your side. it is impossible if you are against donald trump. 17 republican senators endorsed infrastructure build the donald trump proposed, so on donald trump, you can't cross him, but on policy, you can cross trump, and the party is more flexible or confused abo those policy matters in five years ago. jonathan: a slight spin on that is the trump candidate won in this race. the trump candidate didn't win in texas, but in that texas race, the thing to watch is trumpism one in that race. instead of looking at who donald trump has endorsed, look at how closely the candidates are to what donald trump says he believes in. judy: of course they are aligned. the last thing i want to raise with both

those come on heels of chantel brown beating lisa turner in a election in ohio.ew york mayor's race. joining me now to discuss, political anchor of spectrum news, errol, good to have you on. >> >> good to be with you, jim. >> he's taking sharp aim at woke-ism, does he have a point. >> of course he has a point. he is rumored on his way to becoming speaker if democrats could hold the house. he was also in 2016, in that congress he was the co-chair of the democrat policy and communications committee. the group that puts together the talking points, that angles of attack, the heart and soul of the democratic congressional campaign and they won 41 seats and control of the house in 2018. so he knows what he is talking about. and i think to the extent that some of the more progressive wing of the party have in fact been sort of talking trash on twitter and beating their chests anz claiming their the future of the party, there is another side to that and hakeem jeffreys is saying not so fast. we flipped seats and con control of the congress and passed law and you guys ha

you were supporting chantel brown but progressives are backing nina turner.. what do you think this outcome will mean for the direction of the party? >> well, it all depends upon what the results will be. you know, i -- i'm a great believer that we must do everything we can to elevate the political discourse in this country. we just had a president, who lowered the discord -- discourse to a level unimaginable. we cannot have legislating by sound bytes. and i am a big believer that we should be working on trying to make headway for the american people. but there seem to be people who are more interested in what the headline is. more interested in got-ya politics. and so, i've been supporting chantel because chantel asked me to support her. chantel is the kind of person that i think will help elevate the political discourse in this country. she is a big supporter of joe biden, and i worked with her for about ten years on marcia fudge's various events. and i think she would make an outstanding congressperson. and i do believe that, as my dad used to tell me all

kerry will represent russo this november and anita turner losing the democratic nomination to chantel brownssional district. well, third day in a row spirit airlines canceling over half of its flights after airline faces operational challenges, 373 flights were canceled. the airline blaming cold weather and lack of staff for problem. american airlines dealing with similar issues for several days but only canceled 9% of their flights yesterday. spirit unchanged in free market and american fractionally lower. breaking her own world record in 400-meter as beating delila, i love watching them run, maria. those are your headlines, back over to you. maria: all right, cheryl, thank you so much. j.p. morgan chase jamie dimon weighing on impacts of biden administration. what kind of policy changes do you expect? >> i don't expect any. i think we have to deal with doubt and if some of the things change over time, sobeit. maria: what about broadly speaking policy. president biden wants to try to get through the new spending plan in taxes and that's going to possibly include a capital gains tax of 43.4

when chantel brown with the support of king maker or queen maker jim clyburn defeated nina turner, backed. and david makes an interesting point, which is if -- either you're the base or you're not, right. so if you are the base, the progressives do represent the base of the party then they have to make that so. they need to bring out those voters. and then they become the base of the party that becomes the party's platform. they can argue that their issues and their policy positions poll well and they do. medicare for all and things like that. poll well. and you can make very logical and consistent arguments for them, but you have to bring the voters out. and so, until progressives can organize and mobilize and register and bring out more voters. i think the party's base is much closer to joe biden than it is to the democratic left. and that's who's going to continue winning these contests. and that's where the main stream of the democratic party is right now. >> doris, it's so interesting we never really know where political parties are going to go. i remember after the first democratic

. >>> yesterday we told you about chantel brown and her win in the ohio congressional primary.t biden, turner a progressive backed by bernie sanders, in the latest in a string of elections this year that have served as a reality check for the left flank of the party. moderate democrats won in new york, virginia, louisiana and now ohio. hakeem jeffries said in an interview with "the new york times" yesterday democratic voters are clearly rejecting candidates from the most strident and ideological flank. the extreme left is obsessed with talking trash on twitter when the majority constitutes main stream at the polls. when president biden and democratic legislatures are delivering millions of good paying jobs the fastest growing economy in 40 years and a massive child tax cut. jeffries went on to tell the times, the majority of democratic voters recognize that trumpism and the radical right is the real enemy, not us. apparently the extreme left has not figured that out. pretty extraordinary comments from congress hakeem jeffries of new york, a progressive himself but frustrated wi
