take a look. >> joe o'day is not who he said he is.reign in government spending but supports biden senate bill and before running as a republican, he supported democrats and even gave money to michael bennet, o'day also donated to john hickenlooper even after he signed new gun safety measures in law. no way, o'day. colorado deserves a straight shooter. >> now to that election denier, hanks, he's raised over $30,000 but now millions of dollars have lifted him up and tried to take down john o'day. take a look at what i asked john o'day what he thought about the democrats into the race. >> it seems ridiculous that they're in the middle of our primary trying to make sure i'm not on the ballot. i'm humbled by it but it is fantastic to figure out that i'm threatening michael bennet right now. i'm going to run against the democrats twice. here in the primary, they financed a campaign for a person that can't get elected here in colorado, thinking they would knock me off the ticket. ain't going to happen. >> but you're also seeing that democrat

observers consider construction company owner joe o'day to be the more electable republican in novemberbent senator michael bennet is vulnerable even though joe biden won colorado by more than 13 points. a national senatorial historic weakness at this point no amount of money will save them. these tactics don't always work. for example, lacy year in virginia, these mailers were sent out tying glenn youngkin with former president trump. in the fine print it said paid for by the democratic party of virginia. if it turns out to be a big year for the g.o.p. as some polling predicts, this could backfire on democrats by electing more conservatives. shannon? >> shannon: here you are, mike, good to see you in person. >> good to see you. >> shannon: up next the panel on the federal reserve interest rate hike new fox news poll and the results of yesterday's elections. first, here is what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. fox 29 in buffalo as the white man accused of killing 10 black people at a supermarket is charged with federal hate crimes. he could face the de

moderate joe o'day easily winning there despite democrats pouring millions of dollars at least $4 million into his conservative opponents race. o'day said he's ready to take on democrat incumbent michael bennet. >> people are getting crushed here appear to be forgot to do better. we have better policies. i will bring some common sense to the united states senate and that is what we need. >> dagen: the primaries continue to show trump's influence on the party and competitive contest 1:30 races and lost 11. a big test of the power playing out in illinois newly 15th district. tromped back the g.o.p. rep rody davis to move on to the general election. ronna mcdaniel republican national committee chairwoman is here, make sense of it all. it is kind of astonishing the democrats would throw so much money into races with further right republican elected and that signals their own weakness in their candidates. >> sounds desperate to me, dagen. the voters won't like that when they hear the democrats spending money in the middle of a democratic primary. independent voters especially won't like that a

o'day, somebody who says he accepts the 2020 election results, the legitimacy of joe biden's victory ld trump's speech in january 6th. democrats had been hoping hanks to win this nomination, o'day is going to be running against senator michael bennet, a democrat running for reelection in colorado. democrats spent considerable money trying to boost hanks so he would win that primary. that effort failed, o'day wins the nomination here, and he'll face michael bennet a democrat in november. colorado has been trending democratic, but if this is a red wave year like republicans are hoping for, maybe this ends up being a competitive race. also worth noting in colorado, the secretary of state race as we have been paying more attention to than we have in the past given what happened in 2020, here's the republican primary, and a very interesting dynamic here. tina peters, you can see, finishing third. who is she? she's the county clerk of mesa county. it's where grand junction. she was running for secretary of state. she's currently under indictment for allegedly tampering with voting equipment

big win by joe o'day. it was a great night for republicans incumbent in key races. congresswoman lauren boebert beating coran by a landslide and will go against adam fresh and utah senator mike lee defeating becky edwards and will face evan mcmullin endorsed by democrats and setting up what could be one of the most competitive races in decades. >> carley: battle for senate control looks like it is coming down to six key states. republicans hope to reclaim majority come november. jim mcglocklin joins me to break down the current state of the six races. the six states are arizona, georgia, nevada, new hampshire, pennsylvania and wisconsin and republicans need to gain one seat come november to reclaim the majority. tell happen? let's dive into arizona, senator mark kelly versus somebody to be determined come august second and mark kel seraking in a ton of campaign cash. could he possibly keep a seat? >> democrats can raise money, they are raising a ton of money. if i'm mark kelly, i am scared. he is in the mid-40s. virtually all the incumbents for democrat are not just

s expected candidate candidate to go forward, but the construction company owner, joe o'day wins, youim in that piece out there, and this went the other way from illinois, with democrats spending to try to face hanks, they did not. o'dea will face incumbent michael bennet in that race. if we go out to oklahoma, you have senator lankford easily winning this primary challenge there, but there is another race in oklahoma because senator inhofe is retiring, and that race, the candidates did not get to 50 plus one, you can see here, representative mullen and former oklahoma house speaker shannon. they will go to a runoff august 23rd. the winner will face democrat kendra horn in the general election. obviously oklahoma leans republican, so this would be well positioned to take that race. >> shannon: bret working 24 hours a day. we appreciate that one of those hours is with us tonight. you and the board get along famously. >> we did. we have come a long way. be one you look tight. thanks, bret. former trump chief of staff mark meadows, in front of the january 6th committee tuesday but she fo

. >> reporter: joe o'day, a businessman and supporter of abortion rights is not just fighting democratss competitor, but also millions to tear him down. he can't even get through a campaign event at a restaurant. >> there is my commercial. >> reporter: without a negative ad running in the background. >> why are they targeting you with so much cash? >> they noic win and they are going to have to spend hundreds of millionsful dollars to beat me. they are looking for somebody who can't win here in november. focused on an election that was stolen an focused on things that don't matter to working americans right now. >> reporter: we reached out to the democratic super pac that is behind this big spend and they say so what? the spokeswoman for democratic colorado says, quote, we are an organization committed to ensuring that colorado doesn't elect a republican to the u.s. senate. both gop candidates are totally out of step with our values and voters deserve to know the truth will about who is running to represent them. but, of course, if you talk to the republicans who are running in the prim

illinois a super pact has spent about a million dollars on ron hanks, a construction company owner joe o'dayer. democrats are trying to protect michael bennett, a national republican senatorial committee spokesman says democrat panic underscores their historic weakness and at no point -- at this point no amount of money will save them. some republicans suggest desperate times for democrats call for desperate measures. martha? >> martha: thanks, mike. with that, we bring in juan williams, fox news contributor and corbin trent, a former communications director for alexandria ocasio-cortez. founder of the no excuses pact. gentleman, good to have you with us. this is three-level checkers here that they're playing. supporting republican candidates with millions of dollars, juan. what do you make of it? >> well, i think it's good politics. define your opponent early. the saying goes, before the begun is fight, it's won. you're picking the terms of the fight, setting the time and the place. president biden has spoken about maga extremists, the most radical republican. that's the message from the to

what you're looking at is the republican senate primary in colorado, the winner is joe o'day who willelection and face the democratic incumbent. the distinction was pretty stark on a couple of issues, notably the 2020 presidential election. he said the 2020 election was on the level and his opponent actually attended donald trump's speech in dc on january 6 and was part of the crowd that marks marched to the capital. there is also distinction on the issue of abortion with o'day calling him so pro-choice and hank sponsoring legislation that would ban abortion in all cases. o'day was the candidate that national republicans were hoping would win and democrats meanwhile spent millions of dollars trying to elevate ron hanks and his primary believing that they could get hanks nominated it would make it a much safer seat for michael bennet but o'day wins the primary and advances. colorado is one of the states that has been getting blue over the last decade or so but in a climate like 2022 it will be interesting to see if o'day can give bennett a real run and put the race on the map. when oth

the whole goal was to keep the more moderate joe oh dave from going up against democratic and competent senator michael bennet. on the campaign trail o'dayhe was in the senate at the time of the 2020 election he would have voted to certify partisan joe biden selection and well he is pro-life his position position abortion allots for the procedure in the case of or. last night's of that he would be more like a republican joe manchin reference shows democrat senator that just always follow the party line o.j. also took a swing that the dems who help as his opponent. >> good night to be a democratic super pac, right. >> no senator bennet tells the super pac that put up attack ads against o'day is not affiliated with his campaign. he also acknowledges parties and for a rough go this november but feels his seat is safe. >> i think that we are going to have you no incredibly vigorous uncontested general election here in colorado which is the way it should be, and they are going to be very, very, different choices to be made on the ballot. >> okay, so it took a look at the g.o.p. primary for the governor near where the more candidate lost despi
