features dan donovan. and michael grimm, the previous help the seat before resigning and serving time in prison for federal tax evasion. this debate is courtesy of new york one news. we bring it to you as your primary source for campaign 2018. >> good evening and welcome to staten island where we are holding a republican primary debate for the 11th congressional district. i will be joined in the questioning by two of my colleagues, courtney gross, and anthony pascale. the 11th congressional district encompasses all of staten island and parts of southern brooklyn. it is currently the only congressional district to be represented by republican. let's introduce the candidates. we have the incumbent dan donovan. also with us is his challenger michael grimm. here are the rules of the debate, which have been shared with by both campaigns. they will have a maximum of 90 seconds to respond to individual questions it will be given the opportunity to respond if directly addressed by the other candidate. we will have

dan donovan is the republican incumbent. that is the race that we were all watching for the potential next upset on the republican side. republicans so far lose their incumbency in the primaries, and it seems like dan donovan could lose to the former congressman who had actually left and served time in jail. it ended up being not that close. donald trump tweeted in favor of dan donovan and it was not at all the most shocking primary result of last night. pictures of the candidates involved, and in colorado, there was a member of congress running for governor there. how did that go over? jared polis is the democratic nominee for the governor's race in colorado. and he has a lot of money on his campaign to help you get through the general election. he was facing a couple other competitive candidates, but one of the other trends we saw is a lot of wealthy candidates ended up winning the nomination.

i think dan donovan will do very well. host: if former congressman imm wins the primary, will the rnc support him? -- the and support him? guest: that is up to the chairman. we need to make it very clear that we are committed to holding our majority in the u.s. house werepresentatives so that can continue to advance the economic policies, the national security initiatives, everything the trump administration is doing right now to make america great again. host: based on your answer, will it be a discussion? that is morek appropriately addressed to the chair. host: back to your calls. maxine in michigan, good morning. good morning, gentlemen. thank you for taking my call. i am nauseous this morning, and i am not pregnant, i am 78 years old. [laughter] host: thank you, maxine. caller: it is because of the ig report. speaks clearly to me. who are you going to believe? me or your lying eyes? the fbi is so corrupt, ever since j edgar hoover pranced around his office in lace , it has never, ever gotten itself straight. new direc

grimm, but i know danny donovan. and danny donovan is a man of extreme integrity and character. and the fact that a guy's sleeping in his office, it might tell the people back at home that he cares a lot more about them than he does about the position that he holds in congress. so this guy, he is exactly what you want in congress representing you. so i've got high confidence that dan donovan will do pretty well next week. >> host: michael grimm though, according to the latest poll from "the new york times," is up ten points. >> guest: we've seen a lot of different polls that go many different ways. we'll see -- at the end of the day, polls are important, steve, but the most important thing are the people who show up at the polls and vote for their candidate. think dan donovan will do very well. >> host: if former congressman grimm wins the primary, will the nrcc support him? >> guest: i think that's a bigger question that has to be discussed with steve stivers who's the chairman of the nrcc. as one of his two deputy chairs, i don't think it's appropriate for me to tell you what

donovan. challengers is his michael grimm. the are the rules of debate, which have been shared with by both campaigns. they will have a maximum of 90 seconds to respond to individual questions it will be given the opportunity to respond if directly addressed by the other candidate. will have a cross-examination round during which each candidate will be asked to ask his opponent a question. will be a lightning round it was the answers must be yes, no, or a short response. please follow along tonight on social media. we begin now with short opening statements. the order was drawn randomly. selected first so he will begin with the first opening statement. dan: good evening. i think the audience and the people at home where watching tonight. i have serve this community for over 20 years with honesty and integrity. i was the deputy president of staten island during one of the most vital times of our city's history, after the september 11 tragedy. i was chief of staff when we closed the garbage dump

the other winner was dan donovan. all polls showed donovan losing and he won by double digits. i think all of the people, geniuses who got 2016 wrong are getting 2018 wrong because they don't see the growing left ward poll of the democratic party. this is, i think, also people should recognize that joe crowely, the number 4 leading democrat in the house who lost last night to a socialist, he -- he doesn't do what trump did to win the presidency, take the case directly to the people. the style, the way you connect with voters now is to go actually to the voters, skipped debate, outraced opponent 10 to 1 but didn't show up. lost touched. the president is the opposite, goes and connects directly to voters and then does so on social media form as well. brian: by the way, 28,000 people, he spent 3 million bucks an had much more in the bank an flat-out lost. >> to a socialist, did i mention that? brian: she was probably the most surprising person on the planet today. >> people should look at the other victors for the last couple of weeks for democratic primaries. in another district

former congressman and tax fraud felon michael graham is challenging incumbent dan donovan.e claims he is the only one who can keep the seats from the democrats who are having their own primary. >> if i don't win this primary, we will lose this seat, of that, i'm sure. my opponent can't win a general election in november. >> and clement donovan has represented new york's congressional district since 2015, when for me fbi agent michael graham resigned from congress after pleading guilty to tax evasion. he spent seven months in prison announces the charges were politically motivated. many remember grandma for a noncramped camera confrontation with a reporter whom he threatened to throw off of a balcony. president trump president trump endorsed donovan, reminding supporters of losing a republican senate seat, tweeting "remember alabama? we can't take chances to losing him on a nancy pelosi control democratic." >> it might have even fired up my base because a lot of them who are fully supportive of our president think he got it wrong. >> donovan won the presidents endorsement de

it's grimm and donovan. president is lined up with donovan in this base and said don't nominate michael grimm because if you do this is the kind of democraistrict the demo could pick up. grimm has tried to position himself as the most pro trump candidate. >> you cannot make this stuff up. we'll see you through the evening. he's on the ground in staten island with more on the republican primary race between grimm and donovan. what are you hearing from voters on the ground? >> to bring you back, people across the country were introduced to him right. he pled guilty to tax evasion and perjury charges and then won his election, re-election to congress. he was the former congressman and then re-signed after the guilty plea and served 7 months in prison. walking around here the last couple of days around staten island and is saying are you going to elect a guy convicted for a felon and said when super storm sandy hit this area it was michael grim that stood up and got legislation passed that really pulled back the

>> the interesting part about this, steve, is that the president did endorse dan donov donovan, dan donovan was only one of two republican congressional members who voted against congressional legislation in the house, and tax reform, but the president said in a tweet, he said remember alabama, he doesn't want another similar situation on what happened to roy moore and it cost him a seat. democrats see this as a potential opportunity, essentially they believe if michael grimm can pull it off here today. >> from staten island, we head west to utah. casey hunt is there, and casey, not a lot of suspension when we think about the outcome tonight, but the implications of mitt romney going to the u.s. senate on national politics could be significant? >> reporter: that's right, steve, i think you can see the governor is right here behind me, he's campaigning in a barbecue joint. this is a little bit of dÉjÀ vu, i covered romney's presidential campaign, so this is of course as you point out, his return to the national stage after he lost in 2012, which is a fact that, you know, he's pretty quick to

that is a concern in new york 11th district with grim and donovan.van is a better general election candidate but grim when he was a congressman was very good at couldnnstituen services and well liked in the community. >> until he went to prison. >> and it is interesting. president trump has endorsed dan donovan but michael grimm has the support of trump officials or supporters. you have cory lewandowski and steve bannon and i think scaramucci. here is michael grimm running as the hare to trumpism in many ways. take a listen. >> they have flat screen tv and toys and things they never had. they have comfortable living conditions. so the idea that it is somehow cruel compared to the journey those parents just took the kids on, how do you say that? i think the pashs that took them on the journey is cruel and i think they are unfit. >> that is him talking about the conditions under which the kids separated from the parents, they have flat screen tvs and toys and things they never had in their life. >> that is a despicable things to say. how would he like

, last night the race wasn't even close, donovan won by 30 points. by trump last night put to rest the mainstream media, wanting to say -- the most important thing moving forward he has to motivate the base moving forward in the general election because his political future does depend on that. heather: another win for donald trump the supreme court striking down the challenge to his travel ban, does this further validate the argument the lower courts are politically motivated? >> 100% and the thing that is sad is every president since carter has invoked this privilege under immigration and nationality act but the president has the right to decide of people coming from certain countries are detrimental to the interests of the american people. all donald trump was doing was acting within the scope laid out by previous pres.s and the ironic thing with all the hysteria and pushback, barack obama in the last 40 years was the president to invoke this privilege the most, he did in 19 times, bill clinton was the second most active, he did a 12 times but it

you have grimm going after d donovan in this race. donovan has trump's endorsement.said careful republicans because if you go with grimm, this district that barack obama carried in 2012 this district will be at risk of flipping to democrats if republicans choose grimm. we'll find out what republicans choose a few hours from now. we're keeping an eye on some other long tentured democratic members ofcongress. all of them receiving well funded challenges. folks who attracted more support than you would expect opponents to entrenched members like this to receive. we don't expect any of them to luds. -- lose. the polls close here in new york at 9:00. they close a lot earlier in south carolina. we have a lot going on. i'm going to be tracking all of it. looking forward to another big pri pa primary night. >>> president trump threatening an iconic american company. i have type 2 diabetes. i'm trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked

paul donovan at ubs wealth management, your thoughts.hink it is largely expected, the forward guidance on interest rates is in line with what the market six active. we were expecting a summer rate hike in 2019 anyway. isward guidance itself perhaps a little unusual. i do not think that matters a great deal. most people do not know what central banks do, far less whether interest rates are, so you cannot forget that reaction. the bond taper i think is largely to be expected. we will for them to carry on until the end of the year. we were expecting 30 billion. they have got to scale it back. what they should've done some time ago, this is what the markets was expecting them to do, so it is just locking them in a bit. today, we are getting the announcement that the bond buying is done by december. today, we are getting the announcement implying that rates may go up in september. they have not actually set the. in playing we will get a summer rate hike without coming out and saying that. david: in a broader sense, is this mario draghi announ

donovan has won. donovan hangs on. he will face a democratic challenger.ut again, rachel, i mean, i'm finding i probably said it enough here. but i'm trying to find the right words to put in perspective. this is one of the all-time modern primary night shocks that we've seen. there is huge implications to this. >> steve kornacki, i w have one question to ask you about this. small numbers. 12,000 something, 9,000 something, that's not very many people turning out to vote? is that part of the story? >> i think it probably. you're going to look at the strength of organizing here. why is it so low in new york. look at the time of the year, the calendar. also look at this. new york has two separate primary dates. so a lot of people have been paying attention to the gubernatorial race, andrew cuomo challenged by cynthia nixon. that's not tonight. that's later on. this is just the congressional primary so you got a ballot today in a district like this, this is probably the only thing you saw on your ballot. you probably saw just this race, just these two names. n

the latest poll shows grimm with a ten-point lead over donovan. for threatening to push a reporter off a balcony. let's watch that act of mischief. >> since we have you here, we haven't had a chance to talk about. >> i'm not speaking about anything off topic. >> what about. >> thank you. >> all right, so congressman michael grimm does not want to talk about some of the allegations concerning his campaign finances. we wanted to get him on camera on that but he refused to talk about that. back to you. why. >> let me be clear to you, [ bleep ] you're not a man. like a boy. >> michael, what do you think of that? i think that's maxine in action there. you don't like the guy, bring it on. >> look, i mean, but voters now say that they like that. they want to see more are of th. even though trump is supporting his opponent, whether or not that sort of mean, that thrust of energy he's with us going to fight for us guy, if that plays out, if he gets elected and gets this nomination, that could open up a whole pandora's box. >> jamal, this is a training time

the debate between the two the republican candidates in new york's 11th congressional district, dan donovanbout how he asked donald trump on behalf of a friend to pardon michael grimm was running against him. his answer implicates the president in a totally corrupt decision making process for who gets a pardon and who doesn't. >> the president invited me to accompany him to fight ms-13. i was on air force one with him and told him a fellow marine guy molinari was looking to seek a pardon for michael. the president asked did guy molinari support me. i said he was a never trumper. the president did not care to hear this at all. his staff said tell him to call the pardon office. i gave him the flub. >> did everyone just hear that said out loud sflt president decided who will pardon based on who inspired him because, of courdoes. now the rest of that exchange just because. >> and you didn't tell me, you didn't invite me to your house. >> no, you came to my house. >> i just showed up unvited. >> you asked me all day to come. >> why did you bring it to the president about guy mo narey. >> at that

donald trump had endorsed donovan. he warned republicans. he said, you my like micha grimm. don't vote for him because he'll endanger this seat. this is a potential swing seat. with donovan, republicans think they can win it. also where did the president go last night? remember this. south carolina, 24 hours ago at this time we were talking about his speech down there. the president was there trying to put this guy over the top, henry mcmaster. he's the incumbent governor. he never had been elected. he got into the seat because nikki haleft. he clears 58% in this runoff. mcmaster a night after trump campaigns for him, he wins. nationally we're talking so much about that democratic race in new york, but here's something we're going to start talking about a lot starting in january if not sooner. it is out in utah. mitt romney officially winning that primary tonight easily. this is utah. this is romney. this is a state he won by 50 in 2012. this is tantamount to winning election to the senate practically for mitt romney the way utah goes. it sets up that dynamic of mitt romney.

it's going to be -- i think dan donovan is probably going to win this race but we will see.ge it's hard to count anybody out as a primary, hard to pull, anything can happen. but certainly this is the only republican district in the city. it's a district -- staten island, all of staten island, parts of brooklyn and voted by for trump by ten points in 2016. so republicans will definitely have the upper hand regardless of who the democrats nominate heading into november. >> martha: one republican district in new york. pretty amazing. mitt romney is also in the race tonight and he has a primary race that he's hoping to win this evening. let's look into this interview that he did earlier today. >> i think it's very likely that the president will face a competitor in 2,020. don't know who that will be, may be multiple people, but i think given the support he has in the party it's very likely that he would be selected as the republican nominee again. >> martha: what you make of that? >> something -- i don't think he was talking about himself. but it's interesting. this is the retur

dan donovan. he was behind and we endorsed him and he won by 24 points last night in new york generally. congressman donovan. last night. we had a great evening. because we watched that television and we were winning left and right. they didn't know what the hell happened. one of my biggest critics, a man named joe crowley got his ass ass kicked. >> [cheers and applause]. >> by a young woman who had a lot of energy. she had a lot of energy! i guess he didn't see it. he spent a lot of money. he had a lot of money left over. everyone is pouring a fortune. he was going to take nancy pelosi's place. i was so disappointed because i want to keep nancy pelosi right where she is with maxine waters. i want to keep nancy pelosi. please, i make a plea to it my democrat friends: please, please, please, don't remove nancy pelosi. she should be where she is. and please keep maxine waters on the air as your face and your mouthpiece for the democratic party. please. >> [cheers and applause]. >> maxine waters and

, the incumbent won big against michael grim, and he convinced donovan, and he thought grim who justot out of prison would be a not so great candidate for the fall and if you look at south carolina, the governor of south carolina emerges and he got 54% of the vote in south carolina from the runoff. president trump was just down there the other day campaigning for him and vice president pence over the weekend and mcmaster was one of trump's earliest supporters in 2016. in utah, mitt romney emerges big in this win here and he's headed to the united states senate and everyone wonders will he be a conscience inside the republican party to taktrump. >> he will. >> where he agrees with trump's policies and he's going to support it, and the progressive win got a win in maryland last night and ben jealous. he supported bernie sanders and supported him in 2016 and sanders came in and was campaigning for him and this is another big win for a big job potentially if he wins in november from the sanders' progressive win. >> that's a fascinating night and what this means for democrats and progress
