is president trump taking a risk when he supports corey stuart? >> i don't think he does. i think he plays to the base of trump's main constituents. i am native virginian. i understand his principle to hold fast arles: the star of the hbo series, he owned several brothels in nevada. he's leading to win that in november. you have a guy like that who says president trump is his christopher columbus. i think there is something else going on now with respect to these states reshaped and pushg back. nevada is talking about closing down brothels. this is a wild wild west state that once prided itself on it. emily: so much stuff can happen in these local races that's in washington. are able to see he cam bind roger stone. he positioned himself as very, very trumpian and managed to turn out the base. that is so key. i cannotrste how key that is. one state i cover closely is when i looked at trump's approval ratings among republicans, it was 89% in a state he lost in the primary. that's huge. and that's why you see so many republican candidate being as trumpian as they can. ford: t

th biggest stateace this fall is republican corey stuart challenging senator tim kaine. >>> metro locked in a standoff with the feds over safetypa s. authorities ordered the transit agency to quickly install new barriers, b we'll tell you why metro said it can't do it. >>> many ofed you enjhis hot, but gorgeous day outside, including the folks in old town >> announcer: you're watching news 4 at 6:00.> our commute on metro could be a lot longer if the agency can't install barriers between rail cars. this is all in an effort to help visually impaired riders. federal authorities say some of the cars don't have the chain barriers. they're not safe for vision-impaired peoee. two peo with those impairments have fallen onto the tracks where the barriers were not italled. metr says there's a shortage in the materials they need to install the barriers. officials say if metro can't meet a deadline by the end of the year, hundreds of new cars will have to be removed. metro says that would reduce service by 26%. >>>ationwide protest to keep families together today. john lewis spoke and marched with

corey stuart.s of an ideology there, a lot of surprises i think for people especially outside of virginia. >> right. not that surprising if you looked last year when he was running in the republican primary for governor. he came real close to defeating ed gillespie in that race but, yes, corey stuart who's been a champion for the confederate monuments. you saw him getting the praise from president trump for his victory. he's running against tim kaine, the vice presidential running mate for hillary clinton who is -- has the clear advantage in that race but once again, the definition of what is the republican party right now? it is being made clear by the nominees, the party is putting forth. i'll just add this. you and i have had conversations on this show. i can't count how many times i've been asked is this the thing that is going to break the back of republicans and cause them to distance themselves from president trump, is this the tweet, is this the behavior or the statement and here in sanford

because i want to draw parallels between him and corey stuart who won the primary in virginia.ade an issue when he was elected to the board of supervisors, chair of the board, he made a huge issue about illegal immigration. and he used all kinds of, i wouldn't even say dog whistle, all kinds of dog bullhorn language, rhetoric, and he got elected using that language, using that ret tohetorirhetoric. he also was very much a neo confederate back then. i think what trump does and does well is reads the tea leaves. sees where trends are going and jumps on top of those trends. trump does not invent anything on his hoown. he's very masterful reading people, especially angry people. when he was attacking peop people -- yonged by the system. when he started that, that was at a time when there was a lot of fear and anger in new york city and he tapped into thand the anger and he's doing the exact same thing right now, and he is tapping into the anger of people in the party directing it towards people of color, minorities et cetera, and its eworking. >> just to follow up on corey stuart i

in virginia, trump supporter and conservative fire brand corey stuart edged out his primary pointe insome trump supporters are facing set back. henry mcmaster was forced into a runoff and democrats reportedly flipped their 25th republican held district since the president's inauguration. let's bring back the power panel. zac, i'm going to start with you. success on that part with democrats why? >> look, democrats are very enthusiastic and republicans are generally very deflated. what we found out last night from the nucleares is that republicans showed up lower numbers than previously. more republicans showed up were supportive of donald trump. somehow high support amongst republicansho s up in lower nbe that doesn't spell good news for republicans that spells very good news for democrats. >> harris: why is that, kevin? or do you agree? >> i don't agree, and i think that you can't look at any of the primary nights, this o from last night or the fifth last week or any of the others so far and say there is a definitive wave coming one way or the other. the president has the strongest su

stuart: pretty good night for pro-trump candidates. in the virginia senate race, coreyght there, beat his republican rivals and he will now face the incumbent senator tim kaine. senator cain was the running mate of hillary clinton. there he is. corey is on with us now. sir, you are getting criticism for past support of confederate symbols and monuments, your response to that? >> i still support them. i don't think it's right to take down any historical monuments because once those are down, they're coming after madison and washington and jefferson. it's the wrong thing to do. and the only reason the left is taking down monuments is because they're not interested and the fact is that the president of the united states is doing such a great job of reviving the economy, of making the country a better place, and so what the democrats do is drop the race card and try to tear down monuments. it's insanity. stuart: what's your main line of attack against senator tim kaine? >> the fact is that tim kaine has done nothing for virginia over six years does. not support the presiden

heather: donald trump to get into a race where corey stewart, and in the fall, here is what the ap described the wind tonight. stuart campaigned preserving virginia's confederate monument and an immigrant hardliner, who has been deported from his county. a lot of folks loved him for that. that is why they voted for him lining up with where the president is very supportive of the pres. got immortal when cochairing the campaign because he decided to have a demonstration. he is very trumpy. a lot of folks saying they wonder how this will play more broadly. taken in virginia as well. >> the republican turnout in virginia was substantially below where it was last year when corey stewart took on ed gillespie. corey stewart is a big part of helping turn virginia blue. about making it that way. if you look at where his support came from, heople turned out to vote, if you look at his message and his performance in northern counties in virginia he is out of step and what democrats will try to do they are not worried about tim kane but to make corey stewart the base of the republican party in nevada and other places and there
