she goes on and on, never stopping in her efforts to convince the world that georgia -- georgia -- isner tamuna gvaberidze, you will understand and forgive us all, all of us on the crew for becoming completely beguiled. i like the food already. love the food. >> gela: yes, okay, food you like. i hope wine, you like, and then if you like skin, then that's the place. >> tamuna: and you have to dance also, georgian dances. >> anthony: really? i'm a really, really appalling dancer. this is a problem for me. >> tamuna: no, no, no you don't do that. you know you want to. >> anthony: now, i'm frightened. >> tamuna: two or three glasses of chacha and you're ready to dance. >> anthony: enough chacha, anything is possible. >> gela: i'm going to toast, take the break, ah, let's toast for the -- i'm spontaneously thinking right now to achieve our goals and dreams. >> anthony: to dreams. the ladies convinced us to make the 90-minute drive to this village and this restaurant and, well, i'm quite happy they did. by the time i've had some of that delicious and lethal chacha, and many glasses of delic

georgia's courts. as the daily report article outlines, by the time zell miller left the governorship in december of 1998, he had appointed 37% of georgia's 287 trial and appellate court judges . those numbers include four of the 10 judges on the state court of appeals and five of the seven state supreme court justices. zell miller appointed an african-american female as the first african-american to ever serve on the georgia supreme court. 256 governor miller's appointments were -- 25 of governor miller's appointments were african-americans. 42 of his judicial appointments were of women. 11 were african-american women. meaning he added 56 black and female judges to the bench in his eight years. it's a fact that zell miller appointed more african-americans to judgeships in georgia than all previous georgia governors combined. in addition, he appointed an african-american to serve as georgia's attorney general, making that african-american the first african-american state attorney general in the nation.

talk to me about georgia , specifically. why run in georgia? weiser georgia? why serve georgia? why is it a place you want to serve? >> my mom was a librarian and my dad was a shipyard worker. they were working for, but not poor enough because then they decided to become ministers. when i was 15 they became united methodist ministers. they were both admitted to emory university so we packed up and moved from mississippi to atlanta where i met my friend candace who was my first friend in high school when moved to the new school. mom and dad made a certain that we got to know atlanta. .. that's why lived when i got the part i graduated from high school. i went to spelman college. it was a transformative opportunity for me. went to texas. i loved austin but i was in texas the year that george bush decided he would start, when he became governor. i'm on c-span. [laughing] then i went to yale and i loved that school but i do not like being called and i grew up on the beach. yale made no sense. connecticut still befuddles me that it's that cold all the time. what i thought about where

georgia's a rural state. like so many jurisdictions represented in this chamber, sometimes you have a big city in one part of the state and the rest of the state is rural. the conversations we have in georgia are not republicans against democrats politically, it's atlanta against the rest of the state politically because folks often don't connect the dots between the food that they are buying on the shelf at kroeger being directly you, mr. related to whether or not farmers are producing that food in the field. we have made huge strides in terms of trying to bring more fresh produce. not just in to our school systems but local farmers markets. huge strides into making sure electronic benefits aren't just able to be used at the local convenience store, but are able to be used in farmers markets, higher quality produce can end up on families' tables. again, mr. speaker, we can find disagreement in every bill that comes to the floor, but we can also find progress. of progress in this i reserve the balance of my t

number one, in the rural communities of georgia, it's a very diverse community, a third of georgia -- a third of rural georgia is african-american, but thety is whether you're rural or urban or suburban, you want your kids to have a good education, u want good jobs and you want your hospitals to stay open. those are all issues that appeal to everyone. what i have said is that i don't intend to prete conservative values that demonize immigrants, that say that we have to put a gun in every counter, that say that we can have gun safety laws without sacrificing the second endment. i'm not going to pretend to be a conservative to win. i'm going to run the same way i have my entire carr,ith authenticity, honest and clear plans on how to lift up every thorgian. >> woodruff: doe mean you don't talk about those issues? >> oh, no, i talk about them veryggressively. talked about the fact i had only ds and fs from the n.r.a. i'm proud about that. t i'm pro be endorsed by naral and planned pararthood. thesissues that matter to everyone, whether rural georgia or the city of atlanta. the realty is d

i wish that i lived in georgia. [laughter] to be perfectly honest. now that i have been there, i've got to tell you, still interested. [laughter] i will come through. >> after reading this book, one of the things that was extremely evident about you is that your life has been about sort of pushing boundaries and also about making space for yourself iyour selfin places where othert necessarily made space for you, but alternately, the number one thing i would say is that you are always looking for ways to be useful and helpful to other people. so, i have to ask why politics? >> im southern so i have to say thank you to nancy and to the team for hosting me and also the people that helped make my book come to life. they agreed to represent me and publish me. i grew up in a family that was working for. my mom is one of seven kids. she's been only one of her seven siblings to finish high school, the only wanted to college or go to graduate school. my dad is one of five, the first man in his family to go to college. they did everything you are told to do ac

of georgia?> i believe my coalition absolutely represents the real georgia. the republicans are going to be duking it out trying to prove who can be meaner and more spiteful and while they're doing that we're going to be having conversations on the ground in all 159 counties. we know that there are georgians who simply want a leader who looks out for their interest, who understands their concerns and who doesn't try to turn georgia into a national stumping ground for donald trump's xenophobic policies. i'm running for real georgians who need someone to help them and i'm not running against any republican, i'm running for the people in our state. >> stacey, we hope to have you back on as this race unfolds. good luck in november. i want to remember that lucia mcbath, jordan davis' mom who is a gun reform advocate also won, she got more votes but is headed for a runoff for a georgia house seat. lots of historic election results for women of color in georgia. stacey abrams, good luck. >> thank you so

that georgia is actually a bluer state than people realize. we have an opportunity to turn outs voto haven't voted in recent years. they vote in the presiecntial on but not in the gubernatorial election, and we have more than enoughf those voters to win without compromising our values and pretending to be moderate to conservative appeal to a certain segment. there are places where we differ onoly, but, at the core of being a progressive in georgia, it's abo making surehat we're helping families have the freedom and opportunity toef th and i know from my personal experience as a thatratic leader tha message resonates across the state. >> woodruff: so the "new york times," of course, covered your race and wrote she has signaled she is not likely to spend much whiteseading with rural to return to the democratic party. is that accurate? >> that's a mischaracterization of the state. number one, in the rural communities ogeorgia, it's a very diverse community, a third of georgia -- a third of rural georgia is african-american, but the reality is whe

jessica: in georgia for "matter of fact," i am jessica g omez.orsed abrams, including hillary clinton, bernie sanders, and senator cory booker. in the general election, abrams will face either lieutenant governor casey cagle or secretary of state brian kemp. neither republican won a majority of votes in the primary, so a runoff vote in july will determine the gop nominee. announcer: coming up next, how states try to keep familiar names off the ballot. soledad: what is called a sore loser law. announcer: why it is a pain for some unlucky candidates. plus, can virtual reality help you chill out soledad: now to our weekly feature we like to call "we like to call "we're paying attention even if you're too busy." don blankenship was running in the republican primary in west virginia. he lost, but he really, really, really wants to get on the ballot this fall. blankenship was ceo of massey energy, and he served a year in prison for charges related to a deadly explosion at a coal mine that killed 29. he now plans to run as the nominee of the constitutio

yep, i just said that. >> martha: georgia secretary of state brian kemp a republican running for georgia governor. you have a debate coming up tonight. we appreciate you taking time with us. you were chuckling when we came back on camera. anything in these ads tongue in cheek or 100% where you are? >> no, it's tongue and cheek, but it's also talking about the great message we have tracking and deporting criminal illegals and making georgia number 1 for small businesslike president trump is doing. cutting government regulations. i have been running this campaign like this for 14 months. it's who i am. i support the second amendment and running a campaign to put georgia first. they want a governor that will fight for them. i will do that as the next governor of georgia. >> martha: casey is leading in the polls right now. t the ads sound similar. how are yours different? >> this is about trust. whom do you trust to fight for your conservative values? i have a great record of doing that in the private sector for over 30 years now. also as a state senator and now as secretary of state. that's

georgia is a prime opportunity for democrats. however they can't get their act together to nominate people who match the electorate, georgia, a former governor who spoke at the republican national convention, there was a way it worked for them but democrats nominated a progressive, they nominated, the fact that she is african-american is testament to something important for democrats not just in the south, they've not figured how to discuss race. we watched with hillary clinton bernie sanders was where is the party's energy, where's the party loyalty? this will continue to plague them. shannon: tell me about amy mcgrath. >> he is not a candidate national democrats wanted. the mayor of lexington is a moderate bespectacled, matches the eastern kentucky vibe in the blue grass, metro lexington, the mayor of lexington, and the bar, the republican congressman, is in trouble. when you have not many democrats, the democrats whose voices are heard the loudest are liberal activists. that is what they did here, they threw over the moderate

georgia from georgia. mr. woodall: i yield myself the balance of the time. i recognize my friend's passion. this is not going to be the end of my friend's passion and will be together talking about the farm bill and see a new agree of passion because my friend from massachusetts is incredibly committed to his point of view on the snap program. what i would tell you, mr. speaker, and i will speak on behalf of my governor from the great state of georgia and speak on behalf of my legislators in the great state of georgia. folks want to be a part of lifting people out of poverty. nobody wants to be a part of trapping people in a cycle of poverty. and there is absolutely a agree of complicitness that this chamber has been involved in saying this is the best we can do and can't do any better and resign ourselves to the fact that generational poverty will continue. i say nonsense. i share my friend's frustration that what should have been a bipartisan reform bill, what traditionally is a bipartisan farm bill went off the rails somewhere in the process and folks wal

first, he runs for state office in georgia.n the 1960's he decides to make a run for the governorship of georgia and he is essentially defeated in the democratic primary by lester maddox. maddox runs a fairly racial campaign, leaving carter on the outside as a moderate. in 1970, when carter comes back running against carl sanders, it is carter who in the campaign takes the more extreme position. in fact, carter will draw off voters who had voted for wallace, nixon, and others. it looks as if he is going to represent the more traditional segregationist element in georgia, and he wins. but notably when he becomes governor, he takes a very different position, especially on race. let me read you very quickly at his inauguration, he says the time for racial discrimination is over. our people have already made this major and difficult decision. no poor, rural, weak, or black person should have to bear the burden of being deprived of the opportunity for an education, a job, or simple justice. so he emerges as governor as a southern mo

in this figure from georgia.le, worth mentioning, considered himself a born-again christian, part of that evangelical, southern element we talked about in other contexts. notice that carter in 1976 takes the south, minus virginia of course. election. wins the at the inauguration, he walked. he gets out of the limo and walks along with his wife roslyn , which is astounding to people, a president who is walking down the street greeting the people like it is a parade in plains, georgia? on the one hand this was appealing to some, and not so much to others. so we ask ourselves how did this come to be, how does this come to be? fromoes a peanut farmer plains, georgia induct as the president of the united states? i want to talk now about a sort of transition. first of all, and economic transition, then a bit of a political transition. then to make sure you are introduced to this notion of the .un belt five years prior to 1970, five years before carter assumes the governorship of georgia, is s elma. ,hat we see and that

but if stacy's confident, georgia is changing color. >> is georgia purple? is it truly a swing state? we'll know a lot this week. >> reporter: as for those two candidates running on the republican side of there gubernatorial race, it will be later on in the election season. >> do we think at this point some of the negative campaign tactics in the race might hurt democrats come the general in november? >> reporter: certainly, the worry is when you dig up all this dirt, the republicans are going to use it against you in the general. but for now, republicans are going to be focused on each other, giving the democrats until july to capitalize on that image. >> and we will be right back. >>> it's time now for "your business of the week". >> phillip and rob don't care if anybody finds anything in their surveillance store. but in the treacherous world of data security, and the online assault on brick and mortar retail, will their concepts succeed? find out on saturday morning on msnbc. a board meeting without i. a board meeting without i. don't keep it real... keep

georgia state is the, claims to be hbcu of the state of georgia -- [laughter] because of the number oflack students there. you did mention memphis, and they always had a great basketball team. played pretty good football last year. lost to georgia state. no, they didn't play the game, is what happened. but give me answer to that as far as the educational system in memphis and who was majority or control there. and then i have a question for attorney strong. >> okay. you know, i don't live in memphis anymore, so i come and go. but what i've observed is that jobs that require higher education have opened up. so for teachers, college professors and so forth, you have the former editor of the commercial appeal is african-american. the commercial appeal used to be a horrible, right-wing conservative racist newspaper back in '68. now it's had a series of black editors, and this -- one of those people now has an endowed professorship. but that's a really high level, you know, kind of thing at the university of memphis. but there are various african-american academics throughout the city, and

georgia's a very different state than it was even ten years ago. speaking to all georgia voters, but we're also speaking to those independents who know that they want progress for their family, want good education, the expansion of medicaid, want help for their small businesses. we don't have to pivot to conservative values to win in georgia, we just have to speak about our own values and have bold and detailed plans about how we're going to make it work. >> before i let you go, you can reflkt a little bit on your -- what it means four to be the first black woman nominated to be a major party, you know, governor from a state in the united states? i'm wondering if you can reflect on it, no matter what happens win or lose where you'll be from an emotional standpoint? >> well, i plan to win and when i win, i intend to stand in the said it sted of history. georgia is a long story in being first in a lot of ways, pushing civil rights, women's rights. i look forward to helping change the face of leadership. i want young women and men think about their fu

primary for the georgia governorship.ss the 50% threshold he would have needed to avoid a runoff in july. i spoke with him about that just moments ago. >> we felt all along that we would be in a runoff. this was a very contested primary with a lot of players in the race. it's very, very difficult and it has never been done to my knowledge to get to 50 plus one. but within that context our strategy really is to continue to carry our message across georgia. >> on july 24, he will face a runoff against georgia secretary of state brian kemp who placed second as statewide officeholders both of them enjoyed the strongest name recognition among the five g.o.p. contenders. with only two candidates in the democratic primary that contest was settled tonight and it was settled decisively. former state representative stacy abrams winning by a landslide over state representative stacy evans. both stacys had similar platforms but different campaign strategies. stacy evans tried to bring suburbanites and working-class voters back into t

no democrat has won the governorship in georgia since 1928. and obviously donald trump carried that state two years ago by a 5 percentage margin. so abrams is an underdog but she certainly has a shot at winning this. >> democrats had high hopes in georgia's sixth district earlier in the trump presidency. and those hopes were dashed really. has the political landscape changed since then? >> it's certainly changed a bit over the course of 2017. it became more democratic. but wii obviously seen in the generic ballot more recently it's again shifted a bit more republican. and i should point out georgia's sixth was emblematic where -- on the state legislative level whereby democrats have not been outperforming the baseline as set in the 2016 presidential election. >> yeah, so, that larger -- the larger landscape both in georgia and nationwide in 2018, let's talk about that. because it's looking like this blue wave might not be such a wave or tsunami after all. >> yeah, if you look at the generic congressional ballot, which traditionally has been a

we have to remake georgia.p, we'll register every last person we know. [ cheering ] and we're going to search out those we don't know yet and prove they matter to us too. because our campaign will be a coalition that reaches across backgrounds, sharing our constant belief in our capacity to win. and with your hands knocking and your feet walking and your voices speaking out, every georgian we touch will understand the value and immense power of our vote. inaction can be contagious. but so can a passion for change. from our campuses to our neighborhood blocks, from our senior centers, outwards, a wave is coming. i know georgians won't stand on the sidelines. because you see, in the book of esther, in the book of esther, there is a verse that reminds us that we were born for such a time as this. [ cheers and applause ] and now is the time to defend our values and protect the vulnerable, to stand in the gap and to lead the way. a time to know that this democracy only works when we work for it. and that's what we'v

georgia is a welcoming place.ryone will know they are welcome in our georgia. >> do you think that's where the voters of georgia are? these are issues that obviously have scared people. we have seen this. president trump ran on some of this. he was elected. we hear people all the time who feel anxious about their states being, you know, encroached upon. their culture, their jobs. >> again, i think were there is a faction of the country that has that feeling. i think there are many more people, especially in georgia, that immigration has helped build our state. agriculture is our number one industry. we have relied heavily on immigrant farm wormers to bring our crops to market. they have built small businesses using their ingenuity. but it is always understood that we are more than just one thing. we are not a single issue state. and we have a diverse and rich coal winning.'s why i am so excite b i know if we knit together that coalition, if we go outside atlanta and go to the small communities, the suburbs, that w

susan: brunswick, georgia.ler: i want to know why we keep feeding these cold-blooded killers and letting them live and why we put them in there with other criminals that are not killers and then have to put up with all of that? susan: that is an argument you often hear, it costs a lot to incarcerate people for life and it is less expensive to mete out there punishment. what did those numbers really tell us about the cost of the death penalty? >> it turns out to be the opposite. i suppose there was a time in history when it was less expensive to have the death penalty than to have life in prison, but many states have studied their capital justice systems and it is clear that it is far more extensive to have capital punishment meant to have life imprisonment, even when you take into account the cost of incarcerating someone for life. much more expensive. i think that is part of why we have seen such a declining use of the death penalty. it is extraordinarily expensive. susan: is it legal challenges? carol: much o

and georgia is seeing a great economic prosperity that is occurring across georgia.usly it's all because of conservative principles that we have put in place. and by doing so, we have been able to see great benefits. >> will you invite the president down if you are nominated? would you want him to personally come down and campaign for you? >> absolutely. as a matter of fact, i also reached out to him to let him know that we are prepared and ready to assist on the border security, particularly with our national guard personnel. he asked for 4,000 and there is less than 1,000 that are on the border right now in georgia certainly has the capacity and the capability to be there to assist the president and securing the border. >> melissa: i don't know that you heard but the 2018 is supposed to be a big surge to democrats. reaction to president trump when i watch just the little clips there from your debate, i wonder is this just because it's a republican primary or are you not seeing that sentiment in your state? >> >> well, actually, melissa, we are. there was a poll tha

attorney for the middle district of georgia. michael, thank you for joining me today. >> sure. >> dana: we know that the people at the trump tower meeting on june 9, 2016, consisted of, of course, donald trump jr., there was also jared kushner, paul manafort, rob goldstone and then this natalia veselnitskaya lawyer, the one from russia and a couple of other russian folks. we know all of that. that is not new here. we do have more detail now as she was explaining about president trump and donald trump jr. trump jr. saying he didn't talk to his father about it. and especially the statement about the meeting. what is new here to you? what, if any bearing does this have on the mueller investigation? or because this is just senate judiciary committee transcript, mueller doesn't have any interest in that? >> i think he will have interest in it. anytime someone makes a subsequent statement to be compared to see if there is truthful in any one of those. there is value anytime there is a recorded statement so this will be useful informat

>> we can lead a stronger georgia, a more compassionate georgia enabled an ambitious georgia. we can show the old guard something new and we can fight together for the good of all. amy: in another big primary day for democratic women, stacey abrams made history in georgia by becoming the first african-american woman to win a major party's nomination for governor in u.s. history. we will look at tuesday's elections results with congressmember keith ellison, deputy chair of the democratic national committee. he will also talk about how congress is dismantling key parts of the dodd-frank banking rules. and we will speak to a texas man who believes he was the first activist jailed as part of the fbi's targeting of so-called black identity extremists. we will speak to rakem balogun, as well as black lives matter organizer malkia cyril. >> the bottom line here is we have a rampant situation where white nationalism is on the rise , and yet the fbi fish chosen to use its resources to construct and fabricate a threat that does not exist instead of addressing a threat that does exist. a

>> well, they represent a test of competing strategies in georgia. stacy evans is more of a conventional democratic strategy in georgia. she's going after moderate suburban independent voters who used to be democrats, who steadily fled to the republican party. she thinks by leveraging trump and appealing about the hope scholarship which is a popular lottery funded scholarship in georgia she can start winning them over. stacy abrams says that is a recipe for disaster. the last four democratic candidates for governor tried the same approach and failed. she is hoping to energize a new generation of left-leaning voters many of them minorities who rarely cast ballots in these elections by trying to appeal to them on a left leaning platform and someone who would be the first female black governor in the u.s. history. >> greg, i want to show our viewers a little part of that debase that you moderated. here's one of the questions from today. >> your opponent argued your strategy in this campaign is all wrong, that you are not working to convert the right vot

georgia that makes this a landmark case?> the court has rarely confronted the question of whether the death penalty is constitutional or not. most cases involve particular procedures and statutes. this case did squarely grappling with the fundamental question of the constitutionality of the death penalty. susan: what else do we know what about this? >> previously, the court struck down capital punishment as it was practiced in the united states. so it abolished capital punishment. ,ad the court not backtracked and reinstated the american death penalty, the united states would have abolished the death penalty roughly on the timeframe of our western democratic peers. so today, the united states is the only country in the world that still has the death penalty. the only western democracy. we would not be in that situation had the decision not been overturned by gregg. susan: we are learning about the constitution. there are three amendments that have something to do with this case. first of all, the fifth amendment. no person s

the lawyer for georgia said it was. the lawyer arguing on behalf of gregg was arguing that it wasn't and he was pointing out something crucial, that the statute only dealt with the discretion that juries had. it did not deal with the discretion that prosecutors had. if there was a problem with discretion the statute only addressed one piece of it. >> anything to add? >> it's kind of strange and i think we will hear in the next soundbite, to hear lawyers arguing that a statute is unconstitutional because the actors of the system have too much ability to spare someone from the death penalty. in all of the years since we've been dealing with the reverse argument, that there is not enough discretion to spare someone. it is like you are in bizarro world because it is really quite opposite and what the fights have been about ever since. >> let's move on to our second bit. in the louisiana case the court had considered, the lawyers are anthony amsterdam and on behalf of the louisiana parish assistant district attorney. i'm goi

>> so here's the thing, i've got to win georgia.o turn out more democrats everywhere. we're in trump country. but here's the thing. they're driving around, we're doing something. >> reporter: abrams determined to pull off something no black woman as ever managed to do in georgia or the entire country. >> a she has never been governor in this state. >> no. no she has ever been governor, but i intend to change that this year. >> reporter: trying to crack the ceiling in a place that once shut her out. in 1991 as her high school's valedictorian, abrams was invited to the governor's mansion. >> what happened on that trip? >> the security guard refused to allow us inside. he said that it was a private event. this man who had this power in front of the most powerful place in georgia, telling me i don't belong there, and that's resonated for me for the last 20 years. >> help me become the next governor of the great state of georgia. >> reporter: abrams plans to do that by taking the blue wave on overdrive, doubling down on the democratic ba

walter: the georgia delegation has two delegations that were ordered to split the total votes in georgiatheir voting separately now. the loyalist group. >> madam chairman, because of the atrocities in downtown chicago -- [booing] georgia's loyal national democrats cast their votes only with reluctance. that vote is, senator eugene mccarthy, 13.5 votes. [applause] senator george mcgovern, one vote. reverend channing phillips, three votes. senator ted kennedy, one half vote. [applause] vice president hubert humphrey, 2.5 votes. walter: hubert humphrey lost seven votes out of the georgia delegation from our earlier said -- cbs news delegate cast. >> i want to be sure. the loyal democrats of georgia, voting 2.5 votes for vice president humphrey. 13.5 votes for senator mccarthy. one vote for senator mcgovern. three votes for reverend channing phillips, and one half votes for senator ted kennedy. >> that is right. guam, 5. ofguam casts its total votes five for vice president hubert humphrey. [applause] , five for vicee president hubert humphrey. hawaii? votes forcasts 26 hubert humphrey. [appl

so her formula is finally, and this is go for all of georgia.stacey will win it but even if she doesn't. if she can get those voters out to vote -- >> stacey abrams. >> yes. if she geds e gets shows voters out to vote, that goes a long way in the process. not just for those who traditionally vote, but for those locked out in the black belt. >> but 'those voters go out and vote today, does the general election, democrats, run the risk of losing centrist swing voters? >> not in georgia. >> let's go on a bigger stage. >> there's that risk. but, from what we can see, democratic voters are still disaffected from 2016, still upset about that. if you get as many democrats and everybody democratic family, including far left progressives, and some independents who lean democratic, we can sweep, we can still have this blue wave. quite frankly when it comes to 2020, the next national election, we can see to it that a democrat is elected president again. if you put all those numbers together, democrats, independents who lean left, progressives who are democ

they lost to georgia state. anyway, gave me the answer to that as part of the education system in memphis and who is the majority control and then i have a question for the attorney. >> i don't't live in memphis anymore, but what i have observed is that jobs that require higher education have opened up so for teachers, college professors and so forth, you have the editor of the appeals that used to be a horrible right-wing conservative newspaper and now it's a series of editors that one of those people now has an endowed professorship at that' that a hl thing at the university of memphis but there are various academics throughout the city and certainly the teachers and schools and also supervisors on jobs an in fedex and places like that. so this economist thinks there's a third of the people having better jobs and doing better. >> before you ask a question of me i want to chime in because i'm still very engaged in memphis and i'm in and out a lot and i pay a lot of attention to it and i will say the conditions

>> no democrats has won the governorship in georgia since 1928.p carried that state two years ago by a 5 percentage margin. so abrams is an underdog but she certainly has a shot at winning this. >> democrats had high hopes early in the trump presidency, and those hopes were dashed really. has the political landscape changed since then? >> it's certainly changed a bit over the course of 2017. we've obviously seen in the generic ballot more recently it's shifted a bit more republican. and i should point out georgia's sixth was emblematic where democrats have not been out performing in the 2016 presidential election. >>o the larger landscape both in georgia and nationwide in 2018 let's talk about that. because it's looking like this blue wave might not be such a wave or tsunami after all. >> if you look that generic ballot what you see is the republican party has made a bit of a come back. now, the democratic party is still ahead but instead of doub double digits it's single. >> hello, all of you. what do you think of her chances, simone? black woman

david, just about georgia and stacey abrams, she won huge i think by 50. what does the race tell you, what does the margin tell you? >> well, the race tells me that here's a democrat -- i would just say this all about last night, guys. the information we got last night told us more about where the democratic party is right now where that democratic electorate is more than it tells us about what's going to happen in november. stacey abrams place aid huge bet about the way to run an election is to expand and actually change the makeup of the electorate, bring more democrats into the electorate rather than concentrate even in a red state like georgia to appeal to

that's been on the republican side in georgia.mocratic side, the race for governor has been build nationally as a strategy fight over how to win in a red state that's been looking less red year after year. state lawmaker stacey evans argued democrats can turn georgia blue by courting moderate republicans. but stacey evans on the left, and stacey abrams, that's the stacey on the right, she has said that democratic hopes instead should be in turning out disengaged democratic voters who stayed home in 2016. well tonight, stacey abrams has now won that primary, meaning she will be the democrats' gubernatorial candidate in georgia in november. and it looks like she has won that race by a ton. for more, we are joined by the great steve kornacki, who is the man you want the talk to on nights like this. steve, what can you tell us? >> well, yeah, look, not much of a contest. we know what democrats in georgia are in the mood for now. put this in some perspective, we talk about how georgia is changing demographically. in 2016, the margin he

georgia, gilmore, georgia gilmore was a cook, what she did, she and friends, she particularly startedfrom nowhere, what they did was raise money to support the boycott. this was a threat to livelihood and life. they called it the club from nowhere. most people knew who they were. she and her, she and the people she worked with persisted and they raised money to support the movement. so i'm always saying that when you're movement oriented not just personally oriented, you find ways to move social justice forward. georgia gilmore did that. rosa parks, rosa parks you may not know. you see the sign on highlander, i showed that. that's the rosa parks, the young rosa parks that people think of. i should mention as secretary of naacp, she didn't take dictation, she might have done that, i don't know that. what she always did was she investigated lynchings and rapes, mrs. rosa parks just before she died. daisy beats. head of naacp, integration of central high school, the students are called the little rock 9. but remember these are individual students, these are young people, these are people
