with 140 of the 243 precincts reporting, house majority leader eric cantor is trailing challenger david bratttea party candidate. he's ahead, bratt is ahead of kantor by a margin of 58 to 4 %. kantor has been widely expected to win the republican primary, and fox news is making no call that would change that outlook, but at the same time, this contest is very much, well, out of reach for cantor or bratt. and we will be keeping you up to date. congressman, i want to turn now to congressman james lankford, member of the house budget and oversight committees. congressman, let me start this, you've got to be surprised your colleague looks like he's in trouble in virginia tonight. >> yeah, well watch the polls on that. this is one of the races that no one is watching because there's a lot of assumptions going on on on. i'm sure eric has paid attention to that. that's breaking news to me as well. lou: let me turn to what's happening in your state, 1200 illegal immigrant children are being moved to fort sill, the third military base being used to house and care for these young children who have been

. >> and this is the man who defeated him, david bratt, a little-known member of the republican party'sight-wing tea party movement. >> i owe it to all of you in this room, number one. give yourselves a round of applause. [applause] >> observers say many conservatives sought cancer too soft on immigration -- saw cancer as too soft on immigration issues and too close to washington establishment. >> according to a new government report that came out on wednesday, last year's arms .2es were valued at eight billion euros. the german government has signaled a more restrictive approach to arms deals in the future, and the concerns that weapons could be getting into the wrong hands. >> the soccer world cup opened in brazil on thursday. plenty tohad celebrate. they won the opening match against croatia 3-1. damper onwas also a the party. the brazilian game showed a number of weaknesses, and not all brazilians are happy about the world cup being staged in their country. before the opening match in sÃo paulo, protesters took to the streets. many brazilians feel the billions that were spent on hos

he was soundly defeated by a tea party backed economics professor named david bratt. who accused eric cantor of being soft on immigration. the most stunning primary election upset in congressional history, it is a major jolt for the republican party, especially ahead of midterm elections later this year. the daily beast goes even further and says that cantor was creamed by the tea party candidate. this is a political earthquake for the republican party, one of the most shocking losses in u.s. is -- in the united states electoral history, and bad for america. immigrationuse reform is dead and there is no chance that the house or senate will touch immigration reform according to the daily beast. it is also bad for america because it means the tea party certainly isn't dead. >> let's turn our attention to france, where it was a headache to get to work. maybe not for you because you came in a few hours earlier. good for you, but this strike that is hitting travel today -- >> the taxi strike for the national rail service -- put yourself in the commuters shoes, this is a me

has been cited is exaggerated. >> well, there certainly was a fight and one of the ways in which david bratteat eric cantor was arguing that he was too much of a member of the establishment and brt represented the grassroots and the tee party. given that congressman walden, are house republicans making a mistake ignoring the tea party when they choose a replacement for cantor? >> kevin mccarthy has done a great job as whip, he has a lot of friends throughout the conference and i think he'll end up winning this in a pretty solid way. he and raul have to fight it out. what i take out of this election in virginia is this, there's enormous base in the republican party, they're upset about barack obama and his policies and the last thing they want is nancy pelosi back as speaker. i think democrats and others who try to reach too much that isn't there are making a big mistake will be fatal for them in fall. i've talked to david brat, he's more reagan republican than anything else. we need them together to beat democrats so we don't give barack obama a rubber stamp in the next cycle. >> i understan

the question is whether house leadership will side with the steven kings or david bratts of the world or will they side with the opinions of the vast majority of republican voters and even the vast majority of voters in the 7th congressional district in virginia? time is running out. the window is now open for passing immigration reform legislation and the clock is furiously ticking. we have less than seven weeks to go to get something passed and the time is now for republicans to give us their proposal on fixing the broken system. i say seven weeks because it is highly unlikely that immigration reform could pass during a republican presidential primary season where the party leaders will have to move to the extreme right to try and capture the presidential nomination. therefore, it is time for the house leadership to declare unequivocally that immigration reform will be placed on the floor for a vote before the august recess. without this declaration and the pressure to act, we won't be able to get immigration reform drafted and passed during this window. make no mistake about it, if

college professor david bratt, ousting eric cantor. >> john magoffin was so far off the mark. the board of elections in virginia reported an increase in voter turnout over 2012 and as you can see on the map on your screen, he beat him in the precincts of richmond and in the suburbs. including both money and endorsements according to federal election campaign finance data. his campaign spent nearly $5 million to his 122,000. eric cantor's team spent $40,000 on dinners. his big-money donors include, the blackstone group, goldman sachs, oracle, and horizon communications. and eric cantor is most closely aligned with the tea party, or at least he was. everyone wants to see the polls and how much money you raise. they don't know what's going on on the ground. and was he ever proved right. here he is telling fox news how his honesty delivered victory. >> i think those are right or left issues, free-market constitutional issues. right now this political dialogue is based on the entire campaign. and the people resonated with that. lou: the congressman has responded by claiming to be a

last night he conceded the republican primary election to a little known tea party challenger david bratt his immigration reform support actually lost the election. >> the park service will consult with scholars and community leaders to great a list of sites that will improve the movement. they are considering places like city hall where the first same sex marriages took place. it is 5:20 she is known for her quick moves. the on again off again performance by jennifer lopez is on again. >> what will she wear? >> isn't that a gorgeous way to start your morning? a live look at the bay bridge still illuminated as the sun arrives. >>> welcome back and a good wednesday morning to you. let's all head to the ball park. the giants play the nationals again. anybody ever leave jennifer lopez alone her world cup appearance aback on. the announcement comes days after fifa announced it. lopez said they were working out logistics. lopez+eyjd will perform next to bull and another singer. >> one soccer fan knew about the performance.9xñ >> he drove his car to brazil. he drove 13,000 miles to watch his te

the man who beat him david bratt who challenged cantor on the issue of immigration.elosi said this, a major victory for the tea party as the yet again pulled the republican party to the right. it is a whole new ballgame. so sam, lots of questions now about how much pull the tea party has after this major defe defeat. eric cantor was accused of being sympathetic. >> it is unlikely that it is going to go anywhere. as our ianalysts are seeing no one is going to touch it. he was open to the dream act. but he led the fight against amnesty and still he was not able to use that as an effective defense. let's take a peak outside this morning. over looking the city by the bay. look at that. a nice start to our day. time to check the forecast. a nice mid weekday. >> yeah, you know. at this point you are probably thinking about the weekend. good morning to you. it is okay. you made it to wednesday. thinking about the weekend might help you pull through the rest of the week. the upper 50s to low 60s. we are waking up to just comfortable conditions there. you probably had a bette

no doubt david bratt, in running for virginia's seven district against. cantor, made that a significant part of his pitch, and that cantor's close ties to the business community were one in his loss.rs i also think you could draw a between what ie think are conservatives and radicals. conservatives believe in a smaller government but there are parts of government that have to and onto run well. we have got a lot of people in congress who want to blow the whole thing up. one of the main points of distinction was whether you would shut down the government or keep it shut down. when ken for in the end as stated in getting the government -- when cantor in the end participated in getting the government shutdown, that hurt. the economic cost, that it would end up damaging homeland security, border security, national security, that we see parks closed, for the -- for example. they were ready to let that go so they could accomplish the goal of basically returning to the 18th century or something like it. that is a real distinction here as well. those are all fact

he was defeated by tea party candidate david bratt, and economics professor. cantor will resign from his position at the end of next month. he had been viewed as the successor to john boehner. joining me for a look at the ramifications, mark halperin and john heilemann. they are managing editors of bloomberg politics. i am pleased to have them here. let me begin with you. what happened to eric cantor? is it he didn't play attention to his district? or, is it some profound split within the republican party? >> yes, and yes. there are a lot of different factors. this is not a case where there is one factor. there is no doubt eric cantor lost touch with his district. he spent a lot of time traveling around the country. spending time in the hamptons. playing the role of a national republican leader and not tending to business at home. there is no doubt about that. he got attacked on populist grounds by the challenger as being a corporatist. it is a very interesting line of attack. and the attack people have focused on is the immigration attack. that is a split in

all because a tea party challenger, a little-known college professor named david bratt unseated ericn the virginia primary. cantor, the conservative house minority leader was the second most powerful congressman in the country. senator rand paul, a tea party favorite, says it's time to expabd the party's tent. >> if you want a republican to be the next president of the united states, we are going to have to be a bigger, better, bolder party. there's a big debate going on, though. some say for us to be bigger we have to dilute our message. more moderate to get more electoral votes. i couldn't disagree more. in fact, i think the core of our message, we could be even more bold, more honest, more forthright. >> all right. so let's talk about it. joining me is jenny beth martin, coordinator of the tea party patriots and lenny mcallister. jenny beth to you first, does this defeat for cantor indicate that there is a, i guess, a newer kind of movement by the tea party? what happened? >> well, the message to the tea spaert talking about for the last five years, one of personal and economic fr

waum street journal says we're back to a pre david bratt world.ne of these races was the outlier do you think? >> neither. building aa party like the tea party, there's no immediate success, no string of successes and no string of defeats. remember what they did enforcing a very popular 42-year senator into a runoff to begin with, that was a fairly significant achievement. did they lose? they lost because all the political forces in mississippi including the barbours, and haley barbour is still almost like god in mississippi, number one. number two, the cochran forces were very clever to appeal to democratic voters. it is an open primary. there's nothing illegal about it. i think it was democrat irk voters that probably made the difference. >> let's look at that question. david, it seems like cochran eked out this victory in part due to these democratic voters and actually specifically african-american voters seemed to turn out. this is one example i found interesting. hinds county, mississippi, 70% black, didn't play any role in the june 3rd prim

stuart: i know you are bursting to talk about david bratt. go.viewers, e beat incumbent, majority leader eric cantor. >> this would be unremarkable if he was not the number two person a house of representatives, the second most powerful individual in the house, eric cantor. but this is symbolic and substantive of the migration toward the democrats of republican establishment leadership. this is the conservative small government base saying enough is enough, you voted for all of the bailout, all of the borrowing, all of the increase in debt and you are supposedly the leader of the republicans in the house? we are kicking you out, that is what happened. stuart: eric counter will not mount a write-in campaign to retrieve his feet. >> the primary is timed such as he would have to serve notice for the write-in campaign before the vote was templated yesterday. i am hearing this morning from my libertarian friends, republican friends who are members of the house of representatives that a serious effort to be mounted to house one of their own replace eri

have a candidate that they nominated over the weekend, interestingly enough is a professor where david bratt teaches economics. certainly, they will be fortified, but it was the tea party and libertarians that exercised or flexed considerable muscle and so these early organizational battles, even removing eric cantor's hand-picked district chairman. this is definitely the icing on the cake. but this is part of a larger trend in virginia. the tea party presence, the pressure is keeping legislative republicans in line in this continuing fight with democratic governor over spending on health care. can you tell us a little bit more about that? just an economics professor, he is a theologian. announced he was running on the republican creed and wasn't really a tea party guy and did not feel that eric cantor's views were consistent with the republican creed and that included diligence on the economy, immigration, and national defense. tohas been an advisor mainstream republican legislators and served on a gubernatorial economic advisory a democraticg governor as well as a republican governor. >> w
