he had out-raised ocasio-cortez by at least 10 to one. yet ocasio-cortez defeated crowley in a stunning upset, after running a progressive grassroots campaign advocating for medicare for all and the abolition of ice, the immigration and customs enforcement agency. we will hear from alexandria ocasio-cortez after the headlines. meanwhile, in maryland, former naacp president ben jealous won the democratic primary for governor on a progressive platform that includes free college, the legalization of marijuana, and a $15-an-hour statewide minimum wage. jealous will now face maryland republican governor larry hogan in november's general election. and in other primary results, republican mitt romney won his senate primary in utah. and accused nsa whistleblower reality winner has plead guilty to retaining and transmitting a document to a news organization after reaching a deal with the u.s. government to serve a five-year prison sentence. reality winner had faced up to 10 years in prison on charges she violated the espionage act by leaking a top

alexandria ocasio-cortez. da: after the shocking result, otpresentative crowley tried to go out on a highwith his performance of bruce springsteen's "born to run." this defeat will roc democratic party for some time. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. jane: for more on this, a short time ago i spoke to a.b. stoddard of realclearpolitics, and asked her if she saw this upset coming. a.b.: i think we have seen examples of this before when a member is so focused on the leadership aspirations in washington in the democratic or the republan conference that they don't spend enough time at home. it is absolutely pitiful that she won this by fewer than 16,000 votes. he lost -- he amassed fewer tha. 12,000 vot fewer than 28,000 votes in a y strict of 700,000 people. congressman crowows 20,000 people. you could have won this -- he could have one does. he obviously spent much more time on his national ambitions, leadership ambitions, becoming top democrat if pelosi leaves. what his colleagues are saying today is they don't

but this cortez situation, big, big news. >> reporter: that's right. the defining upset really so far of 2018. and what is going to happen in the midterm elections. she is so many of the things that we have been talking about. she is a woman. she is a person of color. she is somebody who rejected as you her heard talk about the idea of big money in politics. i spent a lot of time on the road with bernie sanders and that was something that we heard over and over and over again and somebody that people really kind of grabbed on to. and of course this is a situation where crowley hadn't had a primary since cortez was 14. she was not eligible to vote the last time he faced a primary challenge. and so he and some of his colleagues in the house, jim clyburn, saying that look, he didn't pay enough attention to his constituents. and there is definitely some of that going on as well. but it really i think sends a signal to democrats across the board that the fissures that we saw in the party in 2016 between bernie sanders, hillary clinton, are very real. and th

ocasio-cortez about 300,000. by now you may have heard some of the bullet points. she's a member of the democratic socialists of america. who isn't? she supports publicly funded trade schools and universities. she worked for ted kennedy and bernie sanders. she has called for the abolishment of immigrations customs enforcement, otherwise known as i.c.e. she went to the border a few days ago to protest the trump immigration policy. >> [chanting] >> laura: in interviews today, the i word came up. >> i would support impeachment. i think we have the grounds to do it. >> what grounds should the president be impeached? >> i think there are serious grounds and violations of the emoluments clause. from day one. >> laura: the emoluments clause. do we go to wikipedia for that? that is the typical left-wing blather. here's what you need to know. ocasio-cortez is a disruptor from the far left wing of the democratic party. she's attractive. she went all in. you have to give her credit for what she did. this is what happens when a political establishment fails to deliver results

i congratulate alexandria ocasio-cortez. i look forward to working with her as we get democratic majority this fall. >> harris: you know it's interesting because this just -- wow, your answer was short. i thought you might have might have mentioned other victories for democrats. today president is face for the millennials and the generation z and the generational shift going on in democratic party. talk to me on the other side. >> there is a big shift on the democratic side. we are enthusiastic. we have stefanik on our side. youngest person in congress to this point. see what happens with ocasio-cortez. we are proud of the diversity in party. we doubled the number of the women running this time around compared to last time. there is a lot of good things to tout in the republican party. oaf at the democratic party the ideological shift toward socialism is frightening. gone is the party of j.f.k. and here very the party so socialism. that is out of step by the american people by a longshot. >> harris: one of the popular people

he was gracious and said he will keep his word and back ocasio-cortez in the general election. >> we have a great opportunity this fall in november win back the house -- >> and we will. >> i made the sacrifice -- i may have sacrificed a little early in that cause, i'm committed to that end. >> president trump clearly paying attention to the race tweeting, wow, big trump hater. congressman joe crowley who many expected was going to take nancy pelosi's place, just lost his primary election. in other words, he's out. that is a big one that no one -- nobody saw happening. perhaps he should have been nicer and more respectful to his president. might have more to do with the politics of his opponent than the politics of the commander in chief. >> that is the mother of all misreads on a wednesday. >>> it is all but certainly mitt romney will be the next u.s. senator from utah. the former presidential candidate easily beating mike kennedy to capture the nomination with over 70% of the vote. he had the backing of president trump and is calling for a more respectful tone in washington. >> we p

ocasio-cortez will be another one. some of them left congress because they didn't see a pathway forward into leadership. they left and they have assumed offices in states across the country. so you've got to figure if you are nancy police where you are waking up worried about your future, worried if you can get the real support that you need to be speaker. i think one thing too, this also highlights the fault lines along race. nancy pelosi didn't make anything better when she came out against maxine waters. nancy was on the other side of that. this is a real wakeup call for democrats. it is i think a key also kind of assessment of 2020 and the chances of people who want to run there. it is also i think an interesting critique of bernie sanders. owe casio cortez, and jealous as well. is bernie sanders the vector of bernie sandersism. >> it brings up an interesting point in all of that, david, in that these are signs that have been there. they were certainly signs in 2016. the hindsight has been 2020 plus. as we look at

ocasio-cortez reached out to those in the district who were angry afraid, marginalized. art of heard this before? the bronx and queens, are people of color. here is the moment when alexandria ocasio-cortez realized she had won the new york congressional primary. no one thought she could deef the so-called queens machine. we meet a machine with a movement. and that is what we have done today. >> like ocasio-cortez berkeley mayor jesse adahin is a product of the sanders ligcy. run oenga a socialist platform. >> she and some of the new grass roots candidates are running for office are speaking to the needs and concerns of many in the country. and are really trying to change our democratic party. >> like sanders her message was focused on creating an economy that works for all americans by having universal health care, free college tuition and judicial reform. she is also in favor of getting rid of i.c.e. republicans on the other hand say the democrats are now more divided than ever. as so-called socialist candidates come closer to taking hold off the party. >> i think it sh

( cheers and applause ) he managed to turn his defeat into a viagra commercial. ( laughter ) but one politician was not quite so gracious: donald trump. he tweeted, "wow! big trump hater congressman joe crowley, who many expected was going to take nancy pelosi's place, just lost his primary election. in other words, he is out! that is a big one that nobody saw happening. perhaps he should have been nicer, and more respectful, to his president!" yes-- no! >> stephen: boo! >> stephen: he's right. queens is big on politeness. that's why on every street corner you hear, "excuse me, sir, i am walking here. ( laughter ) but you may forget about it." and you may have gotten rid of crowley, but i doubt the democratic socialist latina from queens is a huge fan of yours.

alexandria ocasio-cortez also is such supporter of bernie sanders.did that fit into this maryland race? >> i got to tell you, we were this downtown silver spring about a week and a half ago, 1200 people turned out for a big rally that we did with bernie. and bernie for many people, he really speaks to getting bk to being the p of fdr and rfk and mok that was so focused on ending poverty and lifting all of us up. we also were endorsed by cory booker and kamala harris and the lion's share of endorsements from the unions and environmental groups. and progressive groups that are here and active in our state. and we brought that big robust group together around tent pole progressive issues that i guess were part of the bernie campaign but clearly appealed to a far broader range of voters in our state. >> what does it say about the future for the democrats, you're a democrat, what does it say about the future of democrats your win, alexandria ocasio-cortez's win, how come you see this unfolding? >> what it says that we have to run straight toward the peopl

he's blown away by a new person, ocasio-cortez, 28-year-old activist.ust be sending a message to the leadership, i'm wondering with people like schumer is of new york if i lose the fight over the supreme court nomination, the young people will say what a joke this crowd is. >> the energy is on the left of the party right now. >> not the establishment. >> that does happen when a party is out of power. it could help democrats in the general election. i don't see the potential for sort of a tea party-like break up of the house democratic caucus because we've seen a number of incumbents facing challenges from the left stave them off. this one last night in queens is the exception ratheren the rule. >> what happened to crowley is similar to what happened to eric cantor. he had his eye on his national policy. >> number two republican in the house. >> as someone who voted for ocasio-cortez said her campaign knocked on her door three times. she heard from crowley's campaign not once. ocasio-cortez ran and you pol jet tick economic progressive. >> why they split
