it's a big running start for jamaal bowman. the other county, westchester county, we're waiting to get those numbers right now. engel would need to draw close there, get a big advantage in westchester to cancel out what bowman ran up on him. then we will also have the mail-in ballots. those are probably going to be counted in eight days. but this is an ominous start for eliot engel. 32-year incumbent in grave danger right now. by the way, one other incumbent to note here. carolyn maloney. she was elected in '92. right now she leads by 2%. same deal here. mail-in ballots still have to come in. a lot still to come. but flagging these two. over the next couple days, i think a lot of talk about eliot engel, maybe carolyn maloney. two incumbents may be in jeopardy here. >> voters have a funny way of ending careers on their own terms and at their own time. steve kornacki at the big board. steve, thank you for that. >>> "the washington post" reports a shortage of poll workers in kentucky was one reason for having fewer than 200 pollin

you know, i spent some time with congressman engel and jamaal bowman last week as they were doing theirgning and spending time with bowman, he often said it's time for a change. congressman engel has been in congress for 31 years. he is in his 16th term right now. he is the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee so obvious he has a lot of seniority and experience. however, what he's gotten heat for recently is the fact that he wasn't in his home district particularly when covid-19 was really ravaging his district. remember, his district includes new rochelle. this is where we is saw the first hot spot in new york and when i asked him last week why did you spend that time in your maryland home instead of being home in new york, he said you know, this is a phony issue. why does it matter where i am? i was quarantining in my maryland home because it's bigger and because this is where my wife and i could quarantine together. voters don't care about this. well, actually, it turns out some voters do care about where their congressman is and just feeling like they don't take their sea

jamaal bowman is declaring victory over representative elliot engel.n ballots are still being counted. here is what he told joy reid about what he wants to see in congress. >> we need more working class people in congress. 50% of congress are millionaires. big money in politics is a huge problem now. that's why congress has been comprised by the wealthy elite and large corporations. >> and with me now abigail tracy. good to see you, as always. so the topic of the votes of your piece this week headlined that is an aoc level upset. are we seeing a way? will we see more of this? more progressive -- how much influence do you think it could have? >> absolutely. when i speak with progressives, they see the moment as a sea change for them. before a lot of people would write off the victories of an aoc against incumbent democrats but what we're seeing is more and more progressives winning the races and there's a number of factors when you speak with folks who are pointing with great messagers, a deeper bench, a stronger infrastructure but the underlying thing

the results aren't final yet, but it looks like political newcomer and school principal jamaal bowmanousted democrat eliot engel, who has served in congress for 30 years. here's what he told our joy reid this morning about his platform and hopes for congress. all right. we don't have that, nicholas, but what do you think this says, all these primaries that we're seeing in new york that are going to progressives? what does this say about elections come november? >> well, i think what this shows is first of all, you have some shifts within the democratic party coalition. what brought jamaal bowman into office appears to be a broader-based group of racial minorities as democrats shift towards that and towards a younger base. additionally i think it goes to show how much voters in congressional districts care about how much you're there and how many constituent services you can do. the person bowman defeated, congressman eliot engel, wasn't even in his district for a good duration of the coronavirus pandemic. when he did come back, he had a hot mic moment where he said that he would not e

joining me now is jamaal bowman. thank you so much for being here. >> of course. o much for having me. >> i feel like if this all goes your way, you should still make everyone call you principal bowman and just walk around congress, and you're principal bowman and you can start to wreck shop around there, get those people in order. i want to read a tweet and an nbc news article. the nypd has a long history. you wrote this on election night. i'm a black man raised by a single mother in a housing project. that story doesn't usually end in congress. today that 11-year-old boy, beaten by police, is about to be your representative. i can't wait to get to d.c. and cause problems for those maintaining the status quo. and nbc wrote a piece in march of 2020 about stop and frisk, saying new york police under michael bloomberg scarred me and my family. if you get to congress, and it looks like it's very likely going to be your new job, what do you think that you can change about the way that people are policed, people like you, people like me, people like our families? >> you

"is jamaal bowman the next aoc?e he has hillary on his side so how could he possibly lose? i think there was a real danger here for these as marie calls them entrenched incumbents and what kind of blows my mind a little bit is these are people who had a front row seat to what happened to joe crowley who was rumored to be possibly a leading contender for speaker of the house. i know marie was on that bandwagon a little bit and he was caught napping, didn't take an opponent seriously in a primary, and you would think that would be a wake-up call saying it is time for us to really focus and get serious because the party seems to be changing from underneath our feet and if he is unable to do that and is only showing up in a pro forma way and confiding to people he doesn't really care about those issues, that is exactly the type of thing that can make them absolutely lose and we are seeing this also in senate races, real concerns with democrats in colorado that the handpicked chuck schumer candidate could be in trouble a

with 95% of the vote, i think it is 92% of the vote counted, jamaal bowman leads eliot engel 60% to 32%n ball lots have not been calculated. that will be june 30th, next week. democrats will have to wait until a further insurgent infiltrates their party. what happens in november? with widespread mail-in balloting we're not likely to find out who won the election on election day. it could be days or weeks of results. that will indicate chaos. liz peek, good to see you again. look like a bowman win, looks likely he is going to win is a further split for the democrats. it is chaos within that party. >> it is chaos. it is just not in new york. remember kentucky also had a primary pat he will going on between a far left insurgent and a establishment choice. it is unclear how that is going to turn out, stuart. look, you asked earlier in your monologue how this was impacting joe biden. we know how it has impacted joe biden. he has moved farther left on issues like the environment and on taxes to appease elizabeth warren crowd and the bernie sanders crowd. he will have to do more of that. not j

democratic primary, longtime congressman eliot engel, who chairs the foreign affairs committee, trails jamaal bowman there. kasie, what are the surprises you see in these races and democratic races across the country last night? >> so, i think it's tempting to read this as, you know, progressives have -- you know, voters are looking for somebody that's more progressive, that's not part of the establishment. i think it's a little bit of a mistake to look at it that way. i think it's a rejection of the calcification of our politics, the people that have been in office for decades in many cases. the kentucky race is fascinating, and we still have a lot of counting to do in that race. it really could right now go either way, but the turnout in that primary election shattered previous records. and charles booker was someone who caught on to this last-minute energy, really was a part of the protests that were swelling in louisville around black lives matter, and i think really showed how you can you don't have to operate inside the systems that have been built again. and that's kind of the trend that i se
