a democratic at 10%, a democrat at 9%, 2.2 wrers, a democr.c. a 1.1%. question to watch is jeff danham going to make the november election. will the democrats come in second and get a canned dd here? these are the seven republican districts carried by hillary clinton in 2016 that are on the ballot now. ed royce is not running for re-election. these otherublican incumbents are. the democrats think if we're going to pick up five or six seats in california these are the best targets. let me just pop out and see where else the results are coming in. right now they're either coming in democrat or republican districts we think are pretty solid on each side. don't bet on anything, but diane feinstein is running well ahead. right now there's a republican in second. everyone expects kevin de leonto be second. not much from san francisco. the other point, just take a quick look at the governor's race. republicans will be encouraged at these early numbers. gabben newsom a democratic running first, john cox running second. again, don't invest anything in the early

he's the democrat running in a state that president trump carried in 2016. it's going to be a tough race for him, and now we know he'll be facing state auditora rosendale. he has support from club for gr, omenator ted cruz. but he was in a pretty competitive primary. we didn't know the results until late last night, early this morning, against a district judge inmontana. and that's going to be one of the key races starting in november that we'll all be paying attention to. there are ten states where democratic incumbents are seeking re-election that trump carried in 2016. that's one of those. and all of those states are going to be seeing democrats with pretty populist messages, saying that they will protect the state interests from the federal government and from kind of outside forces. and so, we're going to start seeing those messages, and a pretty conservative one from matt rosendale, prettyn. >> so, about senator tester, why is he not doing so well? >> so, i wouldn't say he's necessarily not doing very well, but the national environment is not on his si

, versus establishment democrats. dianne feinstein won a good victory. and she's one of the targets of the left of the democratic party. this is a testing ground for that. just like alabama is a testing ground for pro-trump republicans and establishment republicans. >> harry, for you, what's the biggest takeaway in the last couple hours? >> the biggest takeaway is how good women candidates are doing. women have come out on top, especially in the democratic side. in new mexico, the first district, the woman is going to be the first native american woman if she wins because she is favored. iowa and new jersey, as well. and the governorships, iowa, alabama. south dakota. women favored won their nominations tonight. mostly on the republican side. >> just back to california, is there a concern there hasn't been the voter turnout? the increase in voter turnout that the democrats had been looking for. if you look at the 39th district. you see the republican. spent about $700,000 on that race and the democrats spent millions.

they have three democrats in there. that divided and diluted the democratic vote.esson for the -- for the democrats here. if you have too many candidates, it's too confusing a ballot. then you have a split vote. >> they've had so many good candidates and so much energy. and then you have so many candidates. >> yeah. >> the downside. >> backfired. >> come back to us in a f minutes.thank you very much. >>> in other results, cnn projects deb holland has won the primary for new mexico's first congressional district putting her on track to become the first native american woman in congress. in south dakota, kristi nome, well ahead in the republican primary for governor. making her the favorite to become the state's first female governor. >> in new jersey, mikey sheryl, navy vet and former prosecutor, leading the pri in district. she has more than twice the total of the leading republican, jay weber. let's bring about politics senior writer and analyst -- good to see you, sir. >> good morning. >> we've talked about the jungle primary and the fear for democrats that they'

he has been replace bade democrat, doug jones. so the democrats have 49 seats. with senator john mccain out and home in arizona for health reasons, what that means is if democrats hold together in one big we're not doormats caucus, the only thing they need to block president trump from installing his chosen nominee on the supreme court is precisely one republican vote. that's one thing to know here, the number one. here's the other one. this last election, presidential election of 2016 defied lots of expectations, broke lots of political norms, threw out a lot of what we thought were political rules. and although it didn't necessarily get a lot of attention at the time, one of the rules that was abandon and broken and left behind in the 2016 election was the no litmus test rule. for decades, presidential candidates and presidents have insisted they have no litmus test for supreme court nominees. there is no one single issue on which a nominee's position is a definite deal breaker as to whether or not they're going to get appoint to the court. for decades there h

for democrats.here was so much enthusiasm, anti-trump fervor, and you had a lot getting into to races and a lot of concerns that democrats would splinter the vote as we've seen across the state. tonight, democrats are breathing a little easier in some of the districts where they were afraid of getting boxed out. but it's still, we don't know what will happen, obviously, in dana rohrabacher's seat, that race is tightening as we see results come in. that can complicate democrats' path in november to taking back the house. >> let's talk about the 49th. we had kyung lah in the 49th talking about the dana rohrabacher seat. and the spite for the second-highest vote-getter there. this is congressman darrell issa. look at the gems jumbled underneath there. >> really jumbled. you had a bunch of strong candidates in this district. what happed in issa's district, a lot of democrats wanted to take on issa. you saw them get behind diane harkey who is in a strong first position. mike levin, jacobs and apple janua

dana was saying, between two democrats. >> they're going to do what democrats have not been able to do or two and or one candidate in these key districts. the an embarrassment o riches because they have so many good candidates, so much enthusiasm. op the frun side, it could have gone a different way. but the fact of the matter is they organized themselves starting at the top with the president of the united states to say this is our guy. the house majority leader kevin mccarthy whose district is in california did the same thing. and it's very -- you can't underscore enough how important this is for the republicans. >> gavin newsom is the favorite, right? >> gavin newsom wanted to face john cox in the fall. you had a different set of believes. democrats wanted villalrigosa, but newsom is very, very happy. >> why didn't he want that? >> there's a shot he could lose that. he will get the democratic vote large in california. >> i want to ask you about this. former president bill clip ton has been out and about and stirring some controversy. he was on stephen colbert last night, still clean

the democrats came back.hink they were down 6 nothing, 6-1 and came back to take the lead. >> yeah, richmond struggled. we couldn't believe what we were watching. >> he didn't finish that game. he didn't take the loss. he wasn't on the mound at the end. >> 2-0 down the line, third base side, but foul. 2 and 1. >> you do what you can. >> you can do it, trying to get past ryan down there at third. >> richmond steps off the mound. he's got the baseball now. pitch out of the stretch here. bottom of the first, no score. 2-1 to flake. swing and a miss, strike two. >> flake grew up on a farm. he's from a large family. he said he got time off to practice baseball in school. that practice has paid off in a few of these games. left side of the batter's box, swing and a miss on some heat, losing his batting helmet and swings and misses, strike three, two outs. little late on that one. >> i know he said he was going to try to pitch to contact. >> cedric richmond, two strikeouts and a walk. >> that will bring up john to t

what will the face of the democratic party look like. if folks can't galvanize and understand that regardless of how progressive you are, you can't be conservative enough for whom ever he's going to apoint, this should at least be a galvanizing and unifying point. >> everyone stick around. i'll come to you first next time. who is on the list of the top picks to replace justice kennedy and who might have a chance at getting confirmed. stay with us. when you're particular, you want things done right. that's why we test all of our paints and stains for months. or even years. we dedicate 175,000 square feet to getting it wrong... ...because you deserve paint that's done right. that's proudly particular. benjamin moore. the standard for paint professionals. only at local paint and hardware stores. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just

split,a near even 141,000 democrats and 138,000 so democrats, national democrats view this as a primetunity to flip a seat. that is why you have seen so many candidates get in the race, but you also seen this push and pull between some more moderate candidates and some more progressive candidates as they try to corner democratic primary voters. it is a seven way race. , a lawyer who is now living in kingston. some other candidates, jeff beales is trying to build himself as a more progressive candidates, the bernie sanders of the party. he was featured on "this american life" so he got a boost on that. and the traveling press secretary who got the new york times endorsement. there are seven candidates total and that is one that national democrats are watching closely. of thosether one districts that national democrats will be watching , thely, the 21st district young its woman elected to the house with a target in that next election, she is expected to be a target this time around. who is she likely going to be challenged by? guest: another very crowded race. aree are five democrats wh

this is who the democrat party is, the democratic socialist party, should we call them democratic socialists? >> no, no. shannon: are they trending that way? we have seen some races, someone far to the left to didn't win the primary which sets them up better for the fall or is that split still there? on the floor of the dnc the bernie bros were not having a coming up kissing and making up with hillary clinton wing. >> is a democrat that is my concern is a split. got to look at the district. this is the majority minority district, and a woman of youth where some women when they say vote them out they don't just mean republicans, they mean democrats as well. she had a message and worked harder than her opponent. he didn't show up for a debate. shannon: they way outspend her, 18:1. >> not always the money, sometimes just hard labor and the message that is in exit polls, voters care more about healthcare than democrats who didn't think they would be talking about healthcare again and they care about immigration so some of these social issues really matter in districts like this and it reminded m

we became known as independent democrats but previously in a group called the democrats of texas, the do torch. people confuse a coalition with a coalesce sense or two groups merging together and basically lose their identity. but a coalition is the opposite. it's the great civil rights activist, bernice johnson reagan pointed out, one has to have separate homes and houses before you can forge a coalition. so when these groups came together, didn't usually go well. this was not a smooth alliance. for all of the ways that jim crow and -- african-americans and mexican-americans were distinct. they lived in separate neighborhoods, they followed different leaders, they embraced different priorities, they practiced separate religions or religious denominations, spoke separate languages. all these things separated them so nothing natural but a coming together of mexic-americans and african-americans. each group learned they'd needed each other just like organized labor learned it needed allies and white liberalled learn over time if they were going to keep electing their people they were go

i think that despite that, you ns ll will see republi nationally try to tie the democrats to democraticdership in the house, especially democratic leader nancy pelosi. on the flip side you will see democrats try to tie the candidates to president trump. it is easier with a incumbent like dany rohrabacher who has votes on the board with the affordable care act. ing someone like ling l cheng who is a fresh face. s in s, i think in some w the districts where there were resignations, they're in stronger position because they're not tied to trump. in the end, the midterm are a referendum on the white house, especially now because one party controlall branches of bovernment. how do you feel the president and the country. >> you have been talking about voter turnout, but what aboutth message do democratics have? do they need to move to the middle goingk bto the earlier question? >> as marisa said, these are localis sues. there isn't one national message i don't think the democrats have. it does depend on the local issue. in the central valley it is things like water, immigration of course, but

you can be quite confident of that. >> are you a democrat? are you a democrat? >> no, i am not. >> mr. rosenstein, are you a democrat? >> i'm not a democrat, and i'm not angry. >> a little while later, congressman eric swalwell of california asked about another presidential tweet from this morning about mueller's conflicts of interest. the deputy attorney general said he was not aware of any conflicts of interest by director mueller, i should say. this has been a back-and-forth since this morning. again in a hearing that, at least on paper, was about the clinton e-mail investigation back in 2016. >> we played jim jordan there again. we say house free democrat caucus there. is that what you're hearing from all of the republicans on the committee? are they singing from sort of the -- singing the same tune? or is there a split on the republican side you are picking up on at all? >> jordan was, by far, the most personal in how he went after rosenstein specifically and on this issue of document production specifically. by and large though, they are speaking from the

bad democrats, maybe there are.nk that primaries are healthy for our democracy. i think there's plenty of incumbents doing an amazing job. just because you're in a seat, doesn't mean you're entitled to keep it. this is a democracy. we do have elections every two years. there's healthy and amazing directions that i think we can go. >> joe crowley was thought to be next democratic leader this year and maybe the next speaker of the house. he's out of picture. nancy pelosi says she wants to run again. do you want to support her? >> let me win the election in november before i make commitments. i think that she's one of -- i think she's a candidate to consider. i think that when it comes to the leadership of the party, that's a conversation i have once i'm an lelected member of congress. >> have you heard from her today in. >> i have. she was incredibly kind. >> what did she say? >> she said that she loved working with joe but that she's always wanted younger women in congress. men tend to run at younger ages and women r

this is exactly what democrats wanted to see in this race you have a democrat here, a democrat here, a lot of blue under that first place, so democrats does not like like that lockout thing is going to happen in the 49th. here's one, though, this was not on the ray ddar coming into the night. the republican congressman, calling him the winner, in first, but question is, who comes in second? this is a sleeper who snuck up. this is ted howze. this is a grassroots conservative candidate. he's smeneaking up there. harder is the front running democrat now, but 700 votes separate them. there's a lot of democrats, showing you the next screen, a lot of democrats behind them, spread out democratic vote, h d harder ahead now, can he hold on to that? if howze gets up there, that's one democrats did not see coming. this is a clinton district. that's what we are looking at. more votes in the next few hours, and california, they have a lot to come in and get counted tomorrow and in the days to come. i'm not sure how much we'll call. by the way, governor's race, one other thing to note quickly, i w

most national democrats thought a democrat/democrat race was better.. obviously he said it's in his interest to be facing cox in the general because he has so much of a greater likelihood, certainly to win in the general. but newsom argued that the democrat/democrat race would lead to money being spent on an inextra party fight. that -- intraparty fight. that it would be better between him and a republican. he spent a lot of money promoting trying to tear down villaraigosa which succeeded. we'll see the road test of his argument that the party is better off if he's facing cox instead of villaraigosa. >> speakingraparty feuds, what is the message that democrats are taking to the voters? are they split on what type of candidate they want to see, progressive or conservative connor lamm type of democrat? >> look, you are never going to get skins oh that all across the -- consistency on that all across the country. districts are different. >> sure. >> i think -- andre -- there are definitely different shadings. you look even, you look even last night at the

his allies just in general i think maxine waters is is the biggest enemy to the democratic party is look like an idiot saying the things that she says and does and i i find it repugnant i've been attacked because. i'll speak and i'll say well as a democrat and then i get blasted on twitter from people saying you can't say that you're not a real democrat you're a phony you're you're you're a plant you're a bob and so it's like oh i can't have any kind of dissenting opinion i have to just have an automaton response and you know all the drama will be i mean rob that is what gets me angry with all due respect what do you expect from identity politics ok if that's exactly where it goes you're not getting the old you know then you're an enemy that's what identity politics does let me go to ron ron what does the left hope to achieve by this strategy i mean you know you don't have the leadership speaking out against that schumer said something and then he got attacked for it again identity politics comes into play it's a losing proposition i don't know what the democrats hope to achieve by

that means it could be democrat versus republican or democrat versus democrat or republican versus republican in some cases. which is exactly what the democrats are worried about. so many democratic candidates that they split the vote meaning n the races they need move to the genel. severely hampering their party's chances of retaking the house. we've kbgot that covered. >> first to the nation's capitol, special counsel accusing paul manafort of witness tampering, saying he reached out to former colleagues and lobbyists using encrypted messages apps to try to tell them what to say to investigators. now mueller's team is asking the judge to send manafort to jail whwaits trial. manafort isn't the only one whose rash actions are front and center. the president was tweeting early this morning about the russian witch hunt his 54th such tweet since taking office. said nothing about the lie from his legal team and white house that he had nothing to do with the initial misleading don jr. statement about his meeting with the russian lawyer at trump tower. the president did have something to do with it

in orange county, the left democratic did win.gressives did win a lot o races yesterday. >> i have go to ask about the most odd runoff we are going to have. it happens to be a republican runoff. it is a rematch from a. toer democrat turned republican. it's not in alabama. roby gets forunf by bright. she has to claim bright one time voted for pelosi for speaker. igs going to say roby unendorsed donald trump. what do republican voters in alabama hate more, those that went against trump or those that went for pelosi? >> i think it's clear someone who went against donald trump. >> suspect that amazing. >> that's where we are this year. that's why the trump endorsement and the bran has been so powerful. because of the 87% number we talked about. >> listen, i think to be fully transparent. the trump light touch. if he endorses you from far away. >> every operative wants him to tweet but they don't want him necessarily to come to an even. >> let's not forget where robie was in trouble. because she refused to support donald trump after th

i mean democrats kind of dodged a bullet, they will have, you know, in most congres races a democratthe top two, but what do they nee to do between now and november to win the races? >> in a word, turnout. o in ninef the ten congressional districts target by the democrats, if you counted u all of the votes for republican candidates and all of the votes cr democratic ndidates, only one of the ten districts was there a majority of votes for the democrat. but the turnout will be muc bigger, and it has to be. you know, it has to be because it is going to be younger, itwi be less white, it will be more democratic, more liberal. i think that's the key thing, and that's what typically happens in general elections. >> i think too, look, it's been sort of a free-for-all. we had so many candidates in these racesnrunning, iome cases on both sides, right? multiple republicans, multipl democrats. if democrats can coalesce behind these candidates, get the vote out, i think newsom s s this an opportunity to have a republican opponent that he can focus on some o those down-ticket races. you know, th

my parents were democrats, grandparents were democrats, i'm married to a democrat. i worked for democrats for 32 years. she started her career as a cook in the sheriff's office in jefferson-- in ohio which is sort of located along lake erie into the east east of cleveland. she wanted something more from her life and being the cook in a sheriff's office, the same job her mom had. she had three kids and working full-time and decides to go back to school and better herself. she-- as a she gets her degree in ivy league criminal law she works herself up through the years into to becoming the deputy sheriff and she works therefore 32 years and then she retires and does her lifelong dream and that's to own a bakery. she opens a bakery across the street from the courthouse and she calls it legally sweet. her path into supporting donald trump was not an evolution because between march and november that's not an evolution took it's a revelation. she looked around her account and said, my party has not done this town and this county well. the town is falling apart. crime is ri

the democrats have to change their law. quiet. quiet. that is the democrats law. we could change this tonight. do -- democrats have to >> you control that. need 60 votes. we need 10 votes and we can't get them from the democrats. you can't do that with executive order. one question at a time. can be taking care of quickly and beautifully and immediately but the democrats force that law upon our nation. i hate it. i hate seeing separation of parents and children. the democrats could come to us as they actually are -- in all fairness, we are talking to them -- and they could change the border security. we need border security. of catch andt rid release. we have to change our laws. democrats have controlled because we don't have the votes. republicans need more republicans. which is why the we will do so well in the midterms. guest: -- rosie gray now from the atlantic -- the president saying he might not signed either of the house bills. that said people scrambling. the white house walks that back late last week. where is the white house now on the bills? there has b

and 260 democrats, 38 democrats voted against that. 59 democrats in the senate that didn't take it up. it is important to recognize, it will take a bipartisan bill that security. border reporter: that's the key, by the way. whether it's to have border security or whether it's to solve the issue of the dreamers, it's going to require a bipartisan fix. >> and something that people may not notice just from looking at the vote tally, every member of republican leadership supported. the a majority of the majority supported broad that are included. that is not insignificant and that is very useful in the future as we look to what the next coalition that could pass an immigration bill looks like. reporter: you said you want to continue working on immigration reform. what's the path forward? >> the texas courts are making a decision. we expect this the supreme court weighs in on. there is going to be a lot of pressure and leverage to force a bipartisan solution. >> failed and in the same vote. where does that put you in their relationship with them? the president tweeted this morning and the

>> i do not consider myself an angry democrat. >> are you a democrat? >> i'm not a democrat. >> reporter: democrat deadline is the july 26th, lawmakers return the following week from holiday recess. the fbi and justice department cite the need to protect sources in the ongoing russia investigation. when we return mitch mcconnell's first interview since the retirement announcement of anthony kennedy. they will do whatever it takes on the nominee, you get mcconnell's reaction next. without starting from scratch. it brings your business up to speed, doing more with systems you have in place. it can bring all your apps to life and run them within your data center. it is... the ibm cloud private. the cloud that's built for all your apps. ai ready. secure to the core. the ibm cloud is the cloud for smarter business. secure to the core. means they won't hike your rateseness over one mistake. see, liberty mutual doesn't hold grudges. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty stands wit

i think the democratic turnout is and what democrats thought it would.ocrats didn't just break the glass, they threw back a flaming catcher out thedow. they spent $7 million just to get a single democrat through to the general election, and tonight, there is no guarantee that will happen. >> shannon: oy. let's talk for the governor's race in california, we spent a lot of time on that, and how critical it is in fall to getting g.o.p. voters to show up in the polls for some of these of the races, i read the analysis from the "l.imes,," any paper you pick, says is a fl baron for cox. if he winds up in the primary, the general election, with the lieutenant governor, he has no chance of winning. >> john cox can be competitive. not an expert on governors races. we are monitoring the gas tax repeal, which will be on the ballot. that is going to be a huge motivator down in orange county. i was just out there. gas is approaching $5 a gallon. i don't see democrats marching in theeets tot. so actually, there is a recall election in a state senate district but overl

huge problem with the democratic base. we saw joe crowley get beaten up in new york, up in queens yesterday. you can tell that this leadership will be to the tott edge if they allow this to proceed. there is no way politically the democratic base will stand for any kind of hearings or vote on a trump nominee for the supreme court before the election. we've got an election in 4 1/2 months. there's no reason to consider a replacement on the supreme court in that time. no reason given the history of what happened. let's watch mcconnell now -- i'm telling you, they have no right to bring this up after what they did in '16. >> i guess the practical question is, if that's the approach democrats want to take, how do they do it? they tried to filibuster the garland -- excuse me, they tried to filibuster the gorsuch nomination. republicans just did away with the filibuster. republicans have 51 votes right now, 50 if mccain is sidelined. still enough with pence sitting there. if republicans stay together, is there anything democrats

that's what the democrats say.urprisingly, the republicans say the situation is completely different. joining us now is senator mike brown. always a pleasure to talk to you. i want to talk about that argument over process in a second. first, i do want to get a sense of what it was like to be up at the senate when word came down that anthony kennedy was retiring and president trump would get to pick a new supreme court nominee. were there cheers? >> actually, we were all together having lunch, and it was jubilation. it was applause. it was an opportunity to actually make history once again. we all feel strongly we are moving the country with the circuit court judges we put in place. and this is one more opportunity to change for generations to come the way that the supreme court interprets rather than makes laws. >> jubilation, applause. a general racial isstional issu. we have been having this discussion all morning. one of the things that is like hi to happen in your state, would be a big part of this going forwar

there be for democrats? 70% of members of congress in agreement, 80% of members of congress an agreement in terms of what a policy would look like. the gang of 8 made it out of the senate once before and it was a broad compromise that has a broad support in the electorate but for democrats in an election year what advantages there in their narrow cylindrical political interests for helping republicans out of this jam and help him solve this problem because they know it hurts them in the long run. >> years with the senate's.democrat had to say about how this is playing out. >> yesterday the president signed an executive order which made it 100% clear what democrats have been saying, that the president can fix this problem on his own and that is correct. the president indicated everything we have been saying intended everything he has been saying many settlement congress can fix this problem. >> is that factual? are there things that have to be fixed through legislative channels in the senate's.democrat is say

is a problem and this is the reason why democrat democrats have a hard time. >> laura: dan bongino. the party of linda sarsour and maxine waters. >> that same commentator accused chuck schumer and nancy pelosi of being racist. i am certainly no fan of chuck schumer and nancy pelosi's politics but she insinuated they were acting out of some malice based on race by calling maxine waters comments nonamerican. it's utterly absurd but it points out the cliff you are walking off with identity politics. sooner or later when you start pitting white versus black, immigrant versus nonimmigrant, union versus nonunion, you start this tendency. if i can comment on one thing chris said, he's not wrong. all politics is local. in the house of representatives race. the problem with the democrat party is local politics aren't national. this is yet democratic party because of ocasio-cortez, keith ellison, this is why the democrats win the governorship in california and new york and can't and probably won't win a national election in 2020. >> laura: there is a poll that came out today about the way ame

democrats trying those ten states where democrats are re-elected for senate. tester so far you look at those ten democrats in trump states, he has looked a little safer than the other ones. it's going to get more serious after tonight. this is a very close race. you have the state auditor, matt rosendale. he trailed earlier. russell fagg was in the lead earlier. there still is some to come. biggest county of state, billings. this is fagg's base. his statewide fortunes and ability to win the primary tied to how many votes he can see out of this area. the winner of this gets a shot at tester. montana is one of the states we say trump state, red state. certainly is. this is a state donald trump won by 21. it's a funky state politically if you look back over the last 20 years. this is a state bill clinton managed to carry once and barack obama was within a couple point of carrying as recently as 2008. they have elected democrats. max baucus was the u.s. senator from here, democrat, up until a couple of years ago. tester, there is a little different political tradi

the senior member of the democratic leadership is shocked by losing in a primary to an unknown democratic socialist. we begin with president trump getting another opportunity to put his stamp on the u.s. supreme court. for years and years to come. to establish a judicial legacy that will live on long after his presidency. justice kennedy has been a swing vote on major supreme court ruling. this sets off a political power struggle. conservatives will have an effort to have their voices heard and by democrats who will try to force the president to go with a moderate or wait until after the mid-term elections. the current roster of justices issued a decision today that shows how much power they wield. they ruled 54 that public sector unions can't force workers to pay fees to support collective bargaining want not only a big hit to unions but a big financial hit for the democrat party. we have fox team coverage of the kennedy requirement. john roberts. we begin with shannon bream with details from the u.s. supreme court where she's been all day. >> shannon: it was a quiet end to the term we t

democrats hoping to harness -- the number democrat in the house.licans looking to energize conservatives over a volvo to replace justice kennedy on the supreme court. conservatives like rush limbaugh think this tilt is in the president's favor. >> let's review. supreme court has been climb back freedom for the american people at breakneck speed." but it doesn't matter. a win is a win and the guard. trump endorsed candidates winning on the republican side. bernie sanders socialist communist winning in key places on the democrat side. >> shannon: let's talk about it with the panel. fox news contributor leslie marshall and radio host larry o'connor. you are both in the same studio. we have bouncers standing by. let's talk about this win last night, this very young upstart challenger in new york taking down the number four democrat in the house. she's a former bernie sanders organizer. she's a socialist at least in part, describes yourself that way. larry, the democrats going to embrace? is this the wing of the party? >> i think they have to. i think i

steak of the democratic party's increasingly younger, more female, should the democratic house leadership -- >> i am female and progressive. >> republicans say one of the things this shows is that democratic socialism -- your party. >> laura: other democratic stalwarts like ben jealous were also press today about a possible sea change in the part party. >> what is your thought on nancy pelosi sitting at the helm of your party? >> again -- >> you're not answering the question. >> laura: i love that moment. unlike democrats, republicans were not at a loss for words but cheered. >> it was a stunning development. the energy in the democratic party is self-avowed socialists. open borders. we even had a credible potential candidate for president in 2020 suggest we get rid of i.c.e., the border enforcement agency. i think they democrats are going hard left. >> laura: when i said cheering, that is mitch mcconnell style cheering. before republicans start popping the cork's, there's a lesson here for them as well. think about it this way. if republicans start walking back from the trump agenda, wal

democrats were almost giddy.e was so extreme, they figured, he'd be easy to beat if he got that nomination. republicans were terrified. they were stunned to learn that so many of their own voters didn't mind pitchfork pat's rhetoric. were they losing control of their own party? it turned out they weren't, at least not yet. i '96 dole went on to win the nomination, did go on to lose in november and buchanan was getting tired of the gop. in 1999 he accused primary leaders of rigging the primary race on behalf of george w. bush. buchanan decided to bolt the party. he would run for the nomination of the reform party started a few years before by ross perot and that is when pat buchanan got competition for the reform party nomination, surprise competition from a celebrity billionaire named donald trump. trump joined the reform party in 1999. he said he was looking at running for president and a lot of it was like today. he disparaged enemies with schoolyard taunts, he talked about making oprah his running mate, he cla

so in key races there would be so many democrats on the ballot, they would split the democratic vote. and even in districts where republicans had tons of enthusiasm to throw out the incumbent republican member of congress, in those districts you'd end up with two republicans on the ballot in the general election in november. big worry for democrats, that with all these democratic candidates they'd split the vote and republicans would box them out for november. it was big worry for the democrats. in the end, it worked out fine for them. better than fine, actually. the democratic party pretty much got exactly what they wanted. a democrat made the top two, made the general election in almost every single california congressional district, cluting a bunch of very red looking republican-held districts. there were 53 congressional races up for grabs, and a few of them are still close to call. but it's looking like democrats will be on the ballots in november in 52 out of 53 seats. the only place it likes democrats might have gotten shut out is district 8, which is very, very republican lean

it's time we acknowledge that not all democrats are the same, that a democrat who takes corporate money, profits off foreclosure, doesn't live her, doesn't send his kids to our schools, doesn't drink our water or breathe our air cannot possibly represent us. >> winning the democratic primary in a new york city congressional race basically means winning the congressional election. that is tonight's last word. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. >>> the breaking news tonight, voters in seven states went to the polls today. there has been a major upset tonight in a big democratic primary. steve kornacki with us at the big board with results. >>> also donald trump scores a victory at the supreme court while critics insist his travel ban remains everything from bigoted to designer racism. >>> plus the president appears hurt by a business decision by harley-davidson, and he goes furt predicting it will hurt the harley brand among its american fan base. all of it as "the 11th hour" gets under way on a busy tuesday night. >>> and good evening once again from our nbc news headquarter

it wasot democrats. what we are going to do i that's going to be how we are going to separate they families. i think what the intent is to disincentivize people from coming to the u.s. illegally. whether that is successful is up for grabs. >> they can't say whether it is ufl or not because it's too early to tell. thank you for coming out and trying to help us understand this. it's such an important story. >> thank you for having me. thank you. >> of course. >>> if the president has his way, the debate over kneeling and patriotism will not go away any time soon. more on that when our live coverage from huntington beach, california continues after another break. it's pretty amazing out there. the world is full of more possibilities than ever before. and american express has your back every step of the way- whether it's the comfort of knowing help is just a call away with global assist. or getting financing to fund your business. no one has your back like american express. so where ever you go. we're right

democrats and i married to democrat and i was worked with democrats for 22 years. she started her career as a cook in the shares office in jefferson in ohio which is located along lake erie and to the east of cleveland. she wanted something more to life than being a cook in the sheriff's office reducing job her mom had picked what is raising the kids and working full-time she decides to back to school and better herself. she gets her degree and she works herself up for the years into to become the deputy sheriff and she worked there for 32 years. then she retires and does her lifelong dream and that is to own a bakery. she opens a bakery across the street from the courthouse and cause it legally sweet. her path to supporting donald trump was not an evolution because between march and november that's not an evolution but a revelation. she looked around the town and said my party has not done this town in this county well. the town is falling apart and the crime is rising and the unemployment is astronomical. opioids are in the streets and our kids not being mobile.

what can you do, what can democrats do from here? >> we have to elect more democrats. what we have seen -- >> is this a mobilizing issue? >> absolutely. this is a blow to the middle class. and it is part of an unmistakable pattern from this administration to make it harder for working people to organize. and this decision you look at this decision, you look at the jerry thman dering decision, th voter purge case, you looked at the case on women's repro productive health. what we know is is that the stolen fifth seat has reeked havoc on basic values. we saw yesterday with the muslim bhan as w ban as well. we do not have a check and balance in the supreme court right now, in the republican leadership in the house or senate. the party of lincoln is dead replaced by the party of trump. and so what we have do the most important thing we can do is elect democrats this november and that's what we're doing. we need a check and balance. this is the most dangerous president in american history. it is harder to make ends meet, harder to get health care, harder for women to get ac

democrats know what happenedthe. democrats know what happened to them. democrats know what happened to president observe, having lost a democratic supported nominee, presumably, democrats realized they should not ratify it by going back to regular orderer and let the republicans have this next one too. if the justification from blocking president observe ama that -- it is june of an election year why not make republicans hue to the same standard. democrats are either doormats or insist on consistency. insist that the kennedy vacancy will be treated the same, right? i know it sounds blunt but the democrats are already there. >> our republican colleagues in the senate should follow the rule they set in 2016. not to consider a supreme court justice in an election year. senator mcconnell will tell anyone who listened that the senate had the right to advise and consent and that was every bit as important as the president's right to nominate. millions of people are just months away from determining the senators who should vote or confirm or reject the nominee

and the divide in the democratic party becoming more clear.uard not comfortable with embracing this style of socialism bernie sanders. should they be? >> voters are not comfortable with the label. and the democrat platform and socialism, and the platform is the same, she's not afraid to call herself a socialist. and it will hurt them at the ballot box. >> free healthcare, ending ice, and the majority of americans, what do you think? >> resonated with the democrats, millennials responding to and it was a grassroots campaign and seemed to work for her. and my sources think she got money from republicans secretly that wanted her in the midterms because crowley could not be beaten. this is a huge upset for democrats because many believed crowley was too strong and republicans helped her win. rob: very low turnout in that district as well. that's talk about the president and the trump moment and when he backed somebody. dan donovan in staten island meet michael grin, despite being a convicted felon, very popular in that area, mcmaster in south caro

democrat maxine waters over the weekend called on democrats to confront the president and people who work for him on different issues, including the immigration issue. that playing into the president's hands and in the immortal words of admiral akbar, it is a trap. >> throughout all of this, there's the question of the children. today reports that customs and border protection agents will stop referring migrant families for prosecution until there is a policy in place to keep parents and children together. so the decision effectively revives the obama administration's so-called catch and release policy which president trump has repeatedly slammed. we begin our coverage with cnn's abby philip live now at the white house. abby, good morning. >> good morning, erica. president trump is attempting to capitalize on some of the vitriol that's been directed at his own administration officials in the last several days, but he's doing it while also not holding back on his own insults. meanwhile, democrats are trying to figure out how exactly to respond to president trump as we head into these

a new voice rising in the democratic party. it's a powerful moment for the party as it moves toward the midterms. >> it is a very powerful two minutes of video. you're absolutely right. our thanks on this breaking news night to robert costa, to jill colvin, to jeremy bash. >>> coming up for us afterur first break, from heaping praise to twitter threats, president trump now says it's the beginning of the end for a quintessential american company that was until recently a big friend of his. >>> and later, more of tonight's big primary results. "the 11th hour" on a tuesday night continues after this. >>> there are some people who are saying that your tariff threats threaten to plunge the economy into a recession. harley-davidson announced that it's moving the plant to thailand. >> -- was going to do that. they announced it earlier this year. so harley-davidson is using that as an excuse, and i don't like that because i've been very good to harley-davidson, and they used it as an excuse. and i think the people that ride harleys are

by blaming it on democrats.tration critics accusing the president of separating migrant children from families for political leverage. here is why. the president tweeting over the weekend, democrats can fix their forced family break up at the border by working with republicans on new legislation for a change. this is why we need more republicans elected in november. >> the president added the democrats should get together with republican con aftunterpard work something out on immigration safety. several of the democrat he can law -- democratic lawmakers chose father's day as a tour of the detention centers along the border. we have more from nick valencia in texas. >> reporter: dave and christine, this is the stop on the father's day tour of the facilities. they wanted to highlight the immigration policy implemented by donald trump. after they saw the facility, they said this is zero humanity. >> there is zero logic to this policy. the administration is arguing by inflicting this harm on children and parents, th

democrats trying those ten states where democrats are re-elected for senate. tester so far you look at those ten democrats in trump states, he has looked little safer than the other ones. it's going to get more serious after tonigh this a very close race. you have the state rosendale. he trailed earlier. russell fagg was in the lead earlier. there still is some to come. biggest county of state, billings. this is fagg's base. his statewide fortunes and ability to win the primary tied to how many votes he can see out of this area. theinner of this g a shot at tester. montana is one of the states we say trump state, red state. certainly is. this is a state donald trump won by 21. it's a funky state politically you loo back over the last 20 years. this is a state bill clinton managed to carry once and barack obama was within a couple point of carrying as recently as2008 av elected democrats. max baucus was the u.s. senator from here, democrat, up until a coup oyearago. tester, there is a little different political tradition in i think he's relying on that. let's s
