in new york, representative joe crowley. what happened and why? guest: i think joe crowley's ouster is the most surprising thing in the primaries so far. joe crowley, for thinking house democrat was not really seen going into last night as in a vulnerable position. , alexandriar-old cortez, managed to win that race. she was a bernie sanders supporter and organizer identifies as a democratic socialist, and she was vastly outraised and managed to get a message across based on working folkses and working class in new york. and that we have seen with republican incumbents, we have seen some pretty hope -- high-profile candidates there and candidates who have already held office before who had some kind of in-state presence who had support from the president's twitter account. this time, you had a much lower profile candidate oust a sitting incumbent, which is pretty surprising. what is the likelihood that she will go on and win against the republican challenger? it is very likely. the district is carried by hillary clinton in 2016 by more than 17%. th

the intercept got behind joe crowleys. in the ninth district of new york in that kor cucaucus, and in that race is doing particularly well. there does seem there was some argue before tonight there was a lot of energy on the progressive side, there certainly was this evening. >> let's talk about her a little more. she's running to crowley's left. it says even with universal healthcare, federal jobs guarantees, crowley is a formidable liberal record to lean on. so, she is young, but -- >> she is young, she's also a minority candidate in a district that is majority minority, she's a woman in the year of a woman. to me it's amazing joe crowley didn't have a fire in the fe he wasn't liberal enough. >> what discuss this say to you about this? you say this is paying attention to what has hash we beame question i asked chris -- should we be paying for attention to democratic primaries instead of so much focus on the republicans? >> absolutely. more than just for this year, i think it's a preview of the 2020 primaryeason the presi

she was asked about joe crowley. [ inaudible question ] >> joe crowley is a very valued member of congress gentleman, as you saw in dignity of his concession last night. he is, again, a valued member. we'll miss him, but he has extraordinary talent, and we may see him in the public sector again. it's interesting to me as involved in plit arena for a long time. everyone has their analysis within hours of the election taking place. i'm very proud of the fact that in my very diverse district, i got 140,000 votes. the highest vote in california in this election even though as i said, my district is ever-changing, becomin more beautiful, i always say the beauty is in the mix. so, again, we have to analyze how this -- people say it's because of this or that. it's because of the because of a number of things. within 24 hours, we don't have that analysis. members will choose o leaders as they do people are elected in the caucus. it's not about me setting somebody up just as i was chosen just breaking ranks and running. others will. and that's the beauty of it all. >> reporter: republicans say one

joe crowley had two political realities in this life. one is you've got to win this seat every two years back in your district. the other is he was trying to be the top democrat in d.c. for years his biggest obstacle he thought in politics, nothing in his home district, but was nancy pelosi. he tried in 2006. he tried in 2008. he tried in 2010 to move into the democratic leadership in d.c. he was blocked for years by nancy pelosi. why? because he had aligned himself in democratic politics in d.c. with pelosi's big rival, steny hoyer from maryland. crowley in the last few years, he made the relationship right with pelosi. she started trusting him. they became allies. he moved up. he was in position potentially to succeed her. he thought he finally lined everything up, and in d.c. he had. then he turns around and after 20 years of basically uncontested reelections in a district where he is the party chair, where he inherited the seat from his mentor literally 20 years ago, his mentor timed his retirement to avoid a competitive primary and

and joe crowley didn't, frankly, connect with voters the way she did.hink that's a healthy thing for democratic party. it's a kind of renewal. >> it feels inevitable, if you've been watching new york city politics for a while. mile maya wiley, gene robinson, thanks for joining us in this conversation. >>> when we come back, the supreme court decision that has allowed the president to continue his travel ban. is gonna raise your rate after the other car got a scratch so small you coulda fixed it with a pen. maybe you should take that pen and use it to sign up with a different insurance company. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance. this one's below market price and has bluetooth. same here, but this one has leather seats! use the cars.com app to compare price, features and value. booking a flight doesn't have to be expensive. just go to priceline. it's the best place to book a flight a few days before my trip and still save up to 40

joe crowley was the youngest one among them. democratic party has changed since those people came into power. it's not just about ideology buts representation, who the democratic base is. and it's becoming a much more diverse democratic base. >> and i think the lesson from that is learning from bernie sanders said, with young peopl bernie sanders isn't young, but he had a very young coalition. who was that trying to get in? was that ryan? >> it was me, don. >> oh, alice, sorry. >> one thing i was going to say this is classic case of these incumbent members, elected fo e officials, you cannot phone it in. you can't skip the base and treat your constituents like they have said, what are we chopped liver? you have to go out there and continue to press the flesh, push the message and connect with these people. and cortez did that, and crowley took it for granted. >> i agree with what you're saying, but i also think it's a very diverse district, and i just think people want people who represent them, who look like them. and i guess t

and joe crowley didn't, frankly, connect with voters the way she did.nk that's a healthy thing for democratic party. it's a kind of renewal. >> it feels inevitable, if you've been watching new york city politics for a while. mile maya wiley, gene robinson, thanks for joining us in this conversation. >>> when we come back, the supreme court decision that has allowed the president to continue his travel ban. d we gos of our friends. and we found others just like us. and just like that we felt a little less alone. but then something happened. we had to deal with spam, fake news, and data misuse. that's going to change. from now on, facebook will do more to keep you safe and protect your privacy. because when this place does what it was built for, then we all get a little closer. i mwell, what are youe to take care odoing tomorrow -10am? staff meeting. noon? eating. 3:45? uh, compliance training. 6:30? sam's baseball practice. 8:30? tai chi. yeah, so sounds relaxing. alright, 9:53? i usually make their lunches then, and i have a little vegan so wow, you are

the two most prominent reactions to joe crowley's stunning loss. i will say this.ocasio-cortez spent $100,000 compared to joe crowley's the cagn.ollars in the close of stunning. the queen's county party boss was not able to turn out voters in the amount he clearly needed to win the race. so i mean, it's really stunning on many levels and, again -- >> it also goes back to, if you're going to skip debates and you're not going to do the kind of door-to-door retail politics that she did, there may b a price to pay. >> i think that's true, but a lot of people, a lot of incumbents skip debates when they don't think their candidate is worthy or has a chance to win. there is peril in that for sure. top of the party, joe crowley was widely -- not by a small pocket of people, but widely seen as the next democratic leader and now -- >> and liked. >> still liked and clearly not liked that much in hi district, but liked. this is a massive power vacuum at the top of the party when democrats are beginning to talk about for the first time a change in power at the top of the house

in the year of the woman, joe crowley was obviously a man.

when she saw her lead over the incumbent representative joe crowley. more than 57% to the voters chose her over the opponent two picked up a little over 42% of the vote. crowley has been in congress since 1999. though a democrat had in the past been associated with the groups aligned with president trump and republicans, the 28-year-old has been taking a victory lap today making appearances vowing to bring in urgency to the fight for working families and also talking about the immigration issue. calling for the end of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement or i.c.e. listen. >> we are committing human rights abuses on this border and separating children from their families. that, you know, is part of the structure of the agency. we can replace it. we can replace it with a humane agency directed to safe passage. >> today, democratic house leader nancy pelosi had this reaction to her win. >> are we excited about another generation of people coming in the congress? i am particularly excited so many women are running across the country. >> alexandria ocasi

joe crowley was an establishment figure. now, we talk about women. when she talked with poppy harlow, she talked about how this emboldens women. this comes from david wasserman. i love this statistic. of all democratic primaries that did not include a democratic incumbent. so she's not included. 49% of those primaries, all democratic primaries that did not include a democratic incumb a woman was nominated. i want to put something else out there. she's 28 years old. 28. 50 years younger than nancy pelosi. 49 than jim clyburn, and 51 from steny hoyer. these are the top three democratic leaders in the house. that is an issue. i want to show a few more fresh faces like her. these are a couple other people to pay attention to. this is ben jealous. he won a contested maryland gubernatorial on friday, as well, and ran as a liberal. jared polis, he is now the gubernatorial member in colorado and one of the first openly gay nominees, ran as a liberal. and stacey abrams, this is another unapologetic liberal. alexandria is a feature of a fight to come within th

those are popular ideas. >> joe crowley was establishment but not a blue dog democrat. before bernie sanders became an avatar, there was a third rail. the key point is if the american people, the swing voters, folks in the center are given a choice between the party of trump and sanders, that will leave even more folks feeling politically homeless. and it sends a difficult signal about consensus government going forward. >> interesting you point out the policies. i want to throw this to you. she is very much in favor of abolishing i.c.e. and we have seen more democrats fully start to come over to that way of thinking. >> this has been a big movement. although bernie sanders, who she worked for, wouldn't go that far and wouldn't completely support that policy. so it's not one that is completely taken over that wing of the party yet but clearly yet another -- i wouldn't say it is a full-on litmus test yet, but it is a calling card for which wing of the party you're representing if you say i.c.e. should be shut down. >> talking about immigration, counselor, if i could go t

what about from joe crowley? we should mention, there was 27,000 votes. not huge turnout. crowley largely, some say, did not pay attention to his voters, sent a stand-in to a recent debate, what can be learned from how he campaigned or did not? >> i learned the lesson from my old congressman eliot engel who ran every primary like it was g to be his last. i think that's an example that should be followed by other politicians -- never take anything for granted. look, i don't know if the turnout was large or whether it would have made a difference. the fact that the turnout was what it was and frank crowley didn't seem to take the primary challenge too seriously certainly contributed. >> let's talk about the other primaries, a good night for the president. the candidates he back ed won. a good day for the president. the third version of the travel ban upheld by the supreme court, maybe validating his political instincts. >> sure. and i think he -- he will crow, too, as dave was pointing out, about the democratic result, as well. you know, the michael grim race was kind of the

but more to the left than joe crowley. it's about that district. >> do you also have to reflect the changing demograph of the >> nancy pelosi in 2018, one of the things she did was kind of piss the cbc by going after maxine water and kind of criticizing her for some of her comments and the cbc had been a loyal voting bloc for pelosi. we'll see if that she w now,his is in a new york district, left of centerjoe ley center.she co not win in omaha, nebraska, or in most parts of michigan. but the republicans are going to say, mitch mcconnell already saying it today, look where the democrats are going, universal health oft borders. will she become a -- sort of a national weapon for republicans? >> i think what we're seeing with this race and also with what's been going o this week, is both parties continuing to push to their partest extremes. so with this race, we're seeing like a very left candidate, and really talking about these very left of policies. and you're seeing president trump, especially after the supreme court rulin

here's the thi joe crowley.seat because the democrats always win from that particular district. he was one of the most powerful men in congress. he was closely aligned with nancy pelosi. there was some suggestion that if she steps aside or decides not to be the speaker, if they ever get the majority again, he might be the speaker. but now this says some crazy things about what is going on in the democratic party. nancy pelosi has been a punching bag for a while not just about her age. he was so closely aligned with her, what does it say about the democrats aligned with nancy pelosi going forward aopposed to this woman the self-described socialist democrat. ainsley: bernie sanders, happening with feinstein, too. this is her platform, medicare for everyone. universal jobs guaranteed. she wants to abolish ice and fully fund public universities and schools. where she is going to get the money for all of, this we are not sure. brian: right. , the queens district they wanted to make a change but they did lose at love

my district in new york city is left joe crowley behind.hinking he might be the next house speaker. i guess not. this is 40% hispanic 15% asian, eight or 9% african-american with only 23% white. it's not a district demographically that should -- good for joe crowley and democrats are lucky. radicals like the candidate that won lost in districts where a democrat could upset a republican. it's just regular democrats for the most part but want a competitive distance. liz: i don't get it. don't these democrats remember what bernie sanders said about food lines in venezuela that they are quote good things? it's stunning the lack of economic knowledge on the party of up-and-comers and you talk about it nancy pelosi sat on the heads everybody else want to be up-and-coming heddell left-wing coming in and looking at pelosi dressing down a reporter after she was asked about younger politicians. let's listen in to pelosi. >> the democratic party is increasingly younger more progressive and the democratic house leadership -- . >> i am progressive so wh

with joe crowley, that is an enormous upset.term incumbent outspent his opponent 10 to one loss to a 28-year-old novice candidate and that sends shockwaves throughout washington and across the country. that shows the democratic ledges motivated and i think i will carry through to november. gerri: just in his favor, i would say he hasn't been challenged in about 14 years. baby is out of with campaigning. let's talk briefly about mitt romney winning has raised at what does this portend for the senate in trump's ability to get policies to the senate going forward. >> mitt romney is what we all know him to be. he is kind of the face of the establishment republican. am i a big fan? no. but he will get a- most people do when they get here to d.c that's one of the big problems. we need outsiders. many people who want to push back antigovernment orhe jury is out, but i'm not too excited about it. we will see how we does when he gets here. >> the way to change election in some ways. really amazing what happened in new york. we'll have to

when it comes to joe crowley. they're left of center when it comes to where the dccc would want her to be. at the same time we usually find in wave elections people with positions too far right or too far left win. newt gingrich told everybody that would listen that i was far too conservative to get elected in my district. i ended up with 62% of the vote. i only say that to say that happens time and time again. so people want change. they don't look at the fine print a lot of times. they see what's happening at the border. they see what's happening in puerto rico. and they see this young woman and say, i want her to go there and shake things up. and sometimes shocking things like this happen. >> she's going to be on our show late they are morning. it would be great to meet her and talk through some of her positions. but she worked hard for this. she's 28 years old. when she was in college at boston university, she worked in ted kennedy's office. she worked on the bernie sanders campaign. she wants medicare for all

joe crowley's mentor, a man named tom maten took the seat in 1984. cided to retire, he short circuited the process. that's how crowley got the seat. he didn't have a an open primary. his or sort of wired the process to get him the nomination. this is 20 years ago. he held the seat ever since, became the party boss. and now this has happened on the democratic side. a lot of people look at this and say, you're seeing the future ve maybe the past in the democratic primary and democratic party a bit. this is a shocking result. and there are other surprises brewing. i want to quickly show you this has not been called, but you have a second democratic incumbent, yvette clarke. she is barely hanging on against a challenger, adbut the race hasn't been called. we thought this would be the biggest story all day. it turned out to be a snoozer. dan donovan easily has held off michael grimm, the ex-congressman trying to get his seat back. donovan has won. donovan hangs on. he will face a democratic challenger. but again, rachel, i mean, i'm finding, i probably sai

joe crowley would have been the new generation of leadership at 56. now defeated by a 28-year-old. again indicates there is a lot of turmoil going on in th rty. >> bill: keep an eye on that story. for the republicans, the president was a big winner. you had mcmaster winning the governor's race in south carolina. dan donovan winning in new york in staten island. that's significant. >> it is. what it shows is the enormous level of approval of the president inside the republican party. we've seen some polls lately showing that republican approval for the president's job performance is around 90%. higher than previous icans at this time their terms. so if you look at south carolina where you have the governor henry mcmaster very early supporter of donald trump in south carolina. then contrastthat to representative mark sanford who lost his primary to a pro-trump candidate. you see the power of the president in republican politics. >> bill: i have one more for you 30 seconds. mitt romney is almost a shoe-in to be a u.s. senar,wow. how willthat go? >> that is definitelygoing to happen. 3

in new york, congressman joe crowley has been unseated by alexandria ocasio-cortez, a 28-year-old democraticocialist who has never held elected office. crowley, a ten term incumbent for the district that covered queens and the bronx, considered a candidate to replace nancy pelosi as leader. he becomes the first democratic incumbent to fall this primary season. ocasio-cortez ran a low budget campaign, was outspent 18 to 1 margin. born in the bronx. she said he lost touch with this district. she worked on bernie sanders' 2016 campaign but was waiting tables, tending bar just seven months ago. if she wins in november, she would be the youngest bomb ever elected to the house. take a listen -- youngest woman ever elected to the house. >> how are you feeling? >> so crowley quickly conceded, writing on twitter i want to congratulate alexandria ocasio-cortez. i look forward to supporting her and democrats this november. at his campaign party after the race was called, he did a rendition of "born to run" to her. >>> a tough night for other democratic figures. event clarke -- yvette clarke had a thous
