[applause] and finally, josh mandel.ng] no, ladies engine on, please -- ladies and gentlemen, please. a long time public servant, not just josh mandel, but has some of the best supporters i think in the state of ohio. people who are dedicated, values voters who are dedicated to protecting life, to ensuring that children grow up in stable homes. some of the best people in state of ohio voted for josh mandel tonight. i hope to earn your support. i don't expect to be given it. i hope to earn the support of josh mandel and all of the other candidates who ran. thank you to the candidates, and think you did the people who ran those campaigns. [cheers and applause] now the party that we need to unify to fight tim ryan is our republican party, ladies and gentlemen. it is the party of working people all across the state of ohio, and it needs to fight and it needs to win. because let's be honest, tim ryan, look at his tv ads. the guy is running as a trump democrat, right? [laughter] he really is. tim ryan says he is tough on china

vance, and josh mandel, he matched on together. it brought us right back to this truly awesome trump gaffe in the 2018 state of the union. >> here tonight is one leader, in the effort to defend our country. homeland security, investigations special agent, soliciting no martinez. he goes by didier, and c. j.. he said call me either one. so we will call you c. j.. >> call me either one, special agent solace dino martinez, with a sea, never won by dj, i would make no sense whatsoever. but the way things are going in ohio, j. d. vance will probably getting j. d. mandela tattooed on his face, if that is what trump wants to column, maybe that's who will be. now, there is one candidate in ohio has decided whether out of conviction or opportunities, to run in a non maga lane. state senator madeleine has refused to bow down to the ex president, he's accused him about perpetuating raw lies about the outcome of the election. he's the only candidate in recent debate, to agree that trump should move on. >> do you think, at some of high-level re

vance was, in fact, leading the field at 23%, josh mandel, not j.d. ma mandel 18%, mike gibb gallons 13 public school, matt dolan 11%, jane timken 6%. this undecided column, look at that, 25%. that actually leads the field at this point so we're not exactly sure what exactly will happen tomorrow. >> what does history tell us? >> this is, again, something i just want to note in terms of when we see this polling data, look, it's instructive as to who is probably ahead here, but this is primary polling errors in the final poll, the margin between the top two candidates which was five points, it was five points in that fox news poll. the average error since 2000 plus or mines 8 points. that is 5% of the time we may get a polling miss of plus or minus 22 points. there could be a big blowout tomorrow, we are not exactly sure. and when you look and you say, okay, you know, matt dolan back here at 11%, he could still win. that's a possibility given the past polling errors that we've seen with this 95% confidence in a poll. >> even at 8 points anyone could real

and some for josh mandel and 22% for matt dolan who is very anti-trumpian, an josh mandel is saying itto concentrate on, this is what to look forward to this is columbussh franklin county, and the largest and the most populous county, and the political establishment, and dol dolan is running ahead, and the suburban republican, and if they are coming to dolan, that is significant, because it is the number one population center, and his family owns the cleveland indians, and that is one of trump's weakest, and the republicans up in kcuyahoga county did go for trump. so we will see what happens here. and down through the calendar, mike dewine has been on your program who is the incumbent governor, and he has been on your program through covid, and he is running well ahead of the two republican challengers including the fellow congressman who is a pro trump candidate, and so we will watch that to see how much of a split there is in the republican party, and one more, erin, i want to bring up the house primaries and one that we are watching but it is the 11th district here, and chantal brow

mess up jd vance which say tongue twister, he also combined his name with another candidate he josh mandelo shity i feel bad for jd vance because now he has to change his name too jpjd mandel. yeah does if you were a republican trump is never wrong. at the gop starbucks, whatever name trump calls, that is you. jd-- jp mandel, yeah, that's me, i'll take it. so that is the republican snalt race in ohio right now and honestly anything can happen, anything. in fact there is even a chance that all of these maga campers could split the vote and matt dolan, the one candidate in the race who doesn't think joe biden stole the election with the help of aliens and glomby obama bin laden could actually squeeze out a win. so for all the voters out there ho don't really like any of these candidates and you in ohio remember that you can still write in the name of the true underdog in this race. jpjd-jc-jg-mandelk i'm rooting for you, don't go away, after the break. ziwe is on the show, we'll be right back. i am a business hotel. i eat, sleep, and breath efficiency. i'm looking for someone who appreciates

josh mandel.out with a primary and having bill hemmer at the board you couldn't ask for a better state to start with than ohio. he knows that state very well. so you tried very hard to get the trump endorsement and did not get that. do you think that has hurt your ability to try to surge here in the final few days? >> i'm confident we'll win tomorrow's primary. we've done something that no senate candidate or governor candidate in ohio has ever done before. rather than running than campaign through traditional rub can party groups it's through churches. we had senator ted cruz who endorsed me in the buckeye state and senator cruz, we visited victory christian in dayton, northwest bap activity in toledo, high street bap activity in columbus. solid rock church in cincinnati and last week i had general michael flynn with me crisscrossing the state and an army of christian warriors who will come out in droves and propel us to victory. >> dana: i want to play for you some ohio voters that we're talking

josh mandel, the former state treasurer who's run for senate before, is a well known figure in the state, continues to be one of the temperature polling candidates in that -- top polling candidates. and then perhaps the most interesting developmentek is mat dolan who's part owner of the cleveland guardians' baseball team who is the only candidate running as a perhaps post-trump candidate rather than a pro-trump candidate who has spent many millions on campaign ads. he has started to see a bump in the polls as well. >> host: "the wall street journal" told talking aboutl l e month of primaries. may primaries test trump's sway mt. gop -- in the gop, is the headline. and therehe you see. >> -- there you see j.d. vance in that list of pictures. an interesting development as well when with it comes to donald trump was a club for growth ad that came outta seem -- out that seemed to ding donnell trump for his support -- donald trump. i want to play that. >> i'm a never trump guy. >> has trump seen this? >> president trump tweeting -- >> a surprise endorsement of mitt romney. >> how'd that turn o

was critical of the president where josh mandel has the ted cruz endorse meant.e between these two conservatives. the reality is there's one common factor. they don't want a mitch mcconnell endorsement. that is bad in states like ohio. the problem is that if republicans are going to win in these states in a primary, they have to make sure that trump is behind him and not a rino like mitch mcconnell. >> martha: what do you say to that, byron? >> that's good evidence of the president's war with mitch mcconnell now. what mitch mcconnell wants is 51 at least senators, republican senators. he believes he can get them to vote for him for majority leader. obviously this is one race president trump's endorsement of dr. oz in pennsylvania got a lot of startled looks from some republicans. not sure how that will actually work out. the president messed up in alabama. it's a longer season than ohio. but in poll, most of the candidates are really trumpy. their platforms on based on the president's platforms. so if they do do well in these races, you will see a plan-out of wha

vance next to josh mandel. what did voters tell you? did they know who he was talking about?voters before a j.d. vance event and they hadn't heard of it. and i asked another person and they said it's something that happens. obviously it brings back this idea that there is some level of disconnect between j.d. vance and donald trump, which has been an underlying issue for the author throughout this campaign because of his past couldn't that took swipes at the former president. there are some people who it still think about those comments that he has since taken back but it's still an undercurrent. >> what did he say about trum p? >> at this point he is on team trump and his policy positions are lining up with that. we asked opponents how they feel about those endorsements. the endorsement can help but hasn't got him people to the finish line and others appear to be voting for candidates in spite of endorsements, including one gentleman who we talked to earlier. >> donald trump endorsed j.d. vance a way back. what else do you need to hear from him? >> actually, i don't think tr

his pick in ohio is jd vance, josh mandel.nt is very much on board with his campaign. the slip up couldn't have come at a more crucial moment thoi because this is a wide open senate primary contest. a fox news poll last month had four candidates in double digits and a whopping 25% saying they don't know who they are dwoing to vote for. it wouldn't be a stretch to see vance, mandel, dolan or gibbons come out on top and it's unlikely the winner will take the majority of the ballots. election day is tomorrow, which means we'll see how former president trump's first endorsement in a 2022 senate republican primary will hold up. msnbc is on the ground there following this race. jesse, great to see you. you have talked to both jd vance and josh mandel recently. what are they telling you how they are approaching this home stretch of the campaign? >> reporter: we have also talked to more voters than i can keep track of at this point. as you said, it appears to be yone's race. those two are on top within the margin of error. both of the

josh mandel at 28. matt dolan at 12. mike gibbons at 14 and jane timken at 8.the real clear politics average which is only two polls that were conducted in the last couple of days. vance gone up 2 points to 26. dolan spending a lot of his own money has gone up 10 and gibbons and timken are essentially flat. you would think that vance is going to win. it's most likely the outcome. dolan has had some momentum. we will see if the polls are accurate but it's going to be an interesting night to watch. >> omb director when you were in the white house is he moderate. does that mean people in ohio want a mod accurate in that seat or has ohio changed. >> i will tell you he has a moderate conservative. everybody in this race has tried to be a conservative. the difference is in the tone. most of them are making it all about, you know, i am maga, i want the trump endorsement, i'm like trump. and then you have got dolan who said i support the trump policies, but i'm dolan. i'm not trying to be trump. it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. we also have a guber

trump endorsed him over josh mandel.erday, former president trump said he likes all of the candidates. he also called the primary a mess. this is the beginning of a primary race, with key races on the 17th. and the georgia governor race on the 24th. from the big board, political correspondent, steve kornacki. great to have you with us today. lay out the stakes and the field for us in ohio, where president trump seems to be hedging in case his guy doesn't win. >> a jumbled picture. but there is a clear test of donald trump's pull with republican primary voters. this is an open race here. no incumbent. rob portman not running. and trump has weighed in after just about -- just at all of the candidates, you see on the screen here, really strongly quartered his endorsement. he went with j.d. vance. we have three polls that have come out in the last week. you're looking at the average of all of the polls. it is jumbled. there's a couple things we can say. number one, j.d. vance in the average, has a slight lead coming into ele

a lot _ he was actually the guy, josh mandel, that a lot of - he was actually the guy, josh mandel, ke donald trump was about to endorse _ seemed like donald trump was about to endorse vance, _ seemed like donald trump was about to endorse vance, obviously - to endorse vance, obviously unsuccessful, _ to endorse vance, obviously unsuccessful, so _ to endorse vance, obviously unsuccessful, so that - to endorse vance, obviouslyi unsuccessful, so that may be to endorse vance, obviously - unsuccessful, so that may be sitting in the _ unsuccessful, so that may be sitting in the back— unsuccessful, so that may be sitting in the back of— unsuccessful, so that may be sitting in the back of donald trump's - unsuccessful, so that may be sitting in the back of donald trump's had . in the back of donald trump's had and it— in the back of donald trump's had and itjust — in the back of donald trump's had and itjust popped _ in the back of donald trump's had and itjust popped out _ in the back of donald trump's had and itjust popped out when - in the back of donald trump's had and itjust popped out

his opponent, josh mandel. j.d. love. trump should have known about vance, been on tv a lot and famously claimed to be a permanent never trumper, hence the word never and then completely reversed himself. take a look. >> as somebody who doesn't like trump myself, the elites will write about donald trump. i'm a never trump guy. i never liked him. >> he's the best president of my lifetime and revealed the corruption in this country like nobody else. >> i can't stomach trump. i think that he's noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place. >> i think that he was a good president and made a lot of good decisions for people. >> i take it you're not a trump supporter from what i've read, is that right? is that a fair assessment? >>ia. are i didn't vote for trump. >> all around he's a great president. i'm 37 years old, certainly the best president of my lifetime. >> maybe trump got confused trying to talk about a candidate whose entire existence and political platform is itself a self-contradictory bal

. >> so just to be clear, president trump has endorsed jd vance over josh mandell, i personally don'ts jd mandell, but either way, now the question in ohio, and other competitive primaries is do trump's words, does his overall message still have a major impact? >> i want to pick somebody that's going to win, and this man is going to win. come on up, jd. >> donald trump is testing his role as a king maker. >> ohio, do we love this guy? >> many republicans do still love him. the question is whether they will follow his lead and support jd vance in ohio's crowded senate primary tuesday. on the campaign trail today, vance made famous by his best selling book "hillbilly elegy" was still explaining his transition from trump critic to acolyte. >> i can't turn on the tv without seeing my fat head saying something i said five years ago. >> what he said has been played again and again on tv ads from rivals and critics. >> i'm a never trump guy. i never liked him. as somebody who doesn't like trump, i might have to hold my nose and vote for hillary clinton. >> we asked vance about those words to

maybe this will help josh mandel in the primary fight.ed field. that's good in a crowded field. you've seen him have a little bit of search. we'll see what happens tomorrow. >> you see the number this. that's what happened. j.d. vance around 11% or 12 %. in a crowded five-way primary, 23% or 25% might be enough to get you in. you look at the giant question mark. that's 25 % undecided. one of the questions we do not do this on one race. by the end of the month, we might have a much better sense of the donald trump endorsement. what does it get you? does it get you to 50%? >> or is it depending on which race he actually endorses? and are the dynamics of individual states outweighing the trump dynamic? i think that we don't have the answer yet. and anyone who says that they clearly think that donald trump is still the rainmaker in this entire conference or republican party, i mean, they have to give this a little time to play out. i will say that folks on the hill who are running for reelection, they still want trump in their corner, and the

he has 10,000 votes over josh mandel, and also matt dolan who is the least trumpian.shed himself among the other candidates mike given and also jane timken, because he says to put the big lie behind them, and the party has to stop talking about it. and so, trump won by winning all of the small counties, but at the moment, you can see josh mandel winning in those small rural counties and jd vance is winning the others. we are counting the votes as we go, and here is 20% of the vote. so a long way to go in the count. if matt dolan can pull it off, it is going to be interesting, because this is what we will watch. franklin county is the largest population-wise in the county. it has the state capital columbus, and matt dolan is in the state capital, and you would see where the establishment is in and around the capital. and look at the margin in franklin county so far. we are at 12%, and if this margin holds up, he can add some margin and come back. that is columbus. and then his family owns the guardians and he is well known in the cleveland area, and this is one of dona

vance and josh mandel. we're back with the panel. all, voting started before the endorsement was announced. primary polls are notoriously not accurate. and at least from that dlap is being played a gazillion times it's unclear if trump had his heart in it or knew who he was endorsing. this is going to be seen as a big test of what a trump endorsement means. some of his candidates are not doing very well like perdue in the governor's race in georgia. but, in ohio, it seemed like it was an example of when he gives the endorsement all of a sudden vance surges. we will see if it's real. >> bret: i put this up earlier rcp average in ohio vance has a lead over the of polls but i mention dolan picking up. is this a canary in a coal mine? a lot of people will read into it whether vance wins or doesn't, ben, what it means for trump's power in the primaries. >> look, i like j.d. vance. i think he would be an interesting politician if he makes it to washington. but i think that right now alt all of those primaries serve as essentially indicatio

what did you see in josh mandel that president trump did not see?date to say the right things, but what i look for is their record when , have they stood and fought and bled. john: other candidates claim a link with the former president. attorney jane timken was handpicked by trump to lead the ohio republican party. >> a lot of the candidates in the race all of a sudden have seen the light and are fighting for those america first policies, but i am the true fighter. john: mike gibbons a millionaire , investment banker, touts a trump-like personal history. >> when i get to washington, i will not owe anybody anything. i cannot be bought, i have already achieved to american dream. john: of the leading candidates, only state senator matt dolan did not seek trump's support. >> i am the only one talking about executing, everyone else is making noise. i know who i am fighting for. these guys just want to create fights. john: this cantankerous contest is a sharp contrast to ohio's recent tradition of mainstream statewide republican officeholders. that inclu

vance was trailing josh mandel with just 11% of the vote until trump weighed in at the 11th hour.his candidate. >> we have endorsed dr. oz, we endorsed j.p., right, j.d. mandel and he's doing great. >> yeah, nonetheless, no question trump's endorsement made all the difference in this race. it was an odd pair, given that vance had called trump america's hitler, only a few years before. and that's not all. vance would compare his political benefactor to heroin and admitting to pbs news hour that racism played a role in supporting trump. but, hey, that was then. this is now. and selling your soul seems to be table steaks if you want a path to power in today's gop. none of this should distract from the fact that vance is a very smart guy. grew up in southwest ohio, amid poverty and drug addiction, joined the marines, yale law school, silicon valley and became very wealthy. he came to the public eye by writing a best-selling memoir "hillbilly elegy," signing a contract to be a contributor here at cnn. but running for senate required a very different persona, and so the conspiracy theor

and mixed it up with his opponent's name, josh mandell. >> we have endorsed dr. oz we have endorsed jp, right jd mandell and he's doing great they're all doing good they're all doing good >> before mr. trump's endorsement, jd vance trailed in the polls and was running out of cash cnbc's senior congressional correspondent ylan mui is live on the campaign trail in mason, ohio >> well, what a turnaround, shep it was standing room only here in mason, ohio, for jd vance you can sill see the sign is up. a couple balloons still floating around on the ceiling. this was his last campaign stop before voters cast their ballots tomorrow in what has been a raucous republican race for ohio's open senate seat. now, vance catapulted to the top of the polls after trump endorsed him and he spent the past couple days crisscrossing the state trying to explain why he supports trump now even though he didn't in 2016 and making sure they know that trump supports him, too. >> the good thing is that it shows you have a lot of momentum so the worst kind of people come after you. the bad t

this is josh mandel. >>> now, this is josh mandel pro-god, pro-gun, pro-trump. [ laughter ] >> and propecialook of it. [ laughter ] josh got the backing of the powerful club for growth, which ran ads attacking his opponent, j.d. vance, who supports trump for not -- for not supporting trump. >> j.d. vance, in his own words. >> i'm a never trump guy, i never liked him, i can't stomach trump, i think he's noxious. >> on twitter, vance called trump, quote, reprehensible. an idiot. >> jimmy: yeah, that's right, right? i mean, is that wrong? oh. [ laughter ] but then j.d. smelled which way the wind was blowing off the porta-potty that is today's republican party and he changed his tune. all of a sudden he decided not only isn't trump not noxious isn't trump not noxious and reprehensible, he's the greatest president of his lifetime. j.d.'s previous opinions, he says, were stupid. >> all of us say stupid things and i happen to say stupid things very publicly. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: which is really a great qualification for a future senator. vote for me, i say stupid things very publicly. it worked.

i think trump confused the names j.d vance and josh mandel. this >> you know, we've endorsed dr. oz we've endorsed j.p., right j.d. mandel. and he's doing great [ laughter ] >> jimmy: "great guy, jpmorgan is great can't say enough about jcpenney i don't think you can. we love you j. lo. we love you. [ laughter ] i'm not sure if it's a ringing endorsement when you're like, "i fully support what's his face he's the best. [ laughter ] trump said, even the best leaders make mistakes sometimes like our great president abra-george lincoln-ton. [ laughter and applause you guys see this? over the weekend, house speaker nancy pelosi made a surprise visit to ukraine and met with president zelenskyy. here they are together yeah [ laughter ] can we see that photo again? [ laughter ] looks like a mom and her new trainer. [ laughter and applause right? again, i've said this before why don't politicians ever know what to do with their arms in photos just so bizarre. well, the white house correspondent's dinner was on saturday, and congrats to trevor noah and

john: many expected josh mandel to get the trump endorsement.nate, he has been a steadfast crusader for trump plaza agenda. although in nebraska, trump seemed confused about just who he endorsed. mr. trump: we have endorsed j.d. mandel and he's doing good. john: mandel is backed by texas senator ted cruz. mandel, who often campaigns in evangelical churches, met reporters with cruz before an appearance near dayton. >> what did you see in josh mandel that president trump didn't see? >> it's easy for a candidate to say the right things. what i look for is what is the record. when have they stood and fought and bled. john: other candidates also claim a link with the former president. attorney jane timken was handpicked by trump to lead the ohio republican part >> a lot of the candidates in this race, it's all of a sudden they've seen the light and they are fighting forhose america first policies. but i'm the true fighter. john: mike gibbons, a millionaire investment banker, touts a trump-like personal history. >> when i get to washington i , wi not

. >> one of those in the ohio senate primary is josh mandell, it seems that the former president fuser and maybe his endorsement is null and void. voters in ohio, head to the polls tomorrow to cast the primary day votes and a test of the former president's power over the republican. >>> and joining us, the early 202, author and anchor of "washington post" live, a familiar face to our viewers, leigh ann caldwell, congrats on the new job, we missed you on nbc, and congrats on the new job, let's start with the former president and what sort of influence do we anticipate that he will have on the senate primary in october whether or not he can remember the candidate names. >> well, thanks, jonathan. it is good to be back on msnbc. and with you guys, too. but as far as primary races is concerned, ohio is going to be a big test for the former president. that's because jd vance, which is his correct name, he is someone who is extremely critical of the former president, even threatening to vote for hillary clinton in the 2016 election. and that has turned off a lot of ohio primary voters. and

vance said it would be an amazing victory while josh mandel said america should be banning abortion, not ar-15s. >>> it's 7:30 in washington, bottom of the hour, top of the news, and the words being used, seismic, egregious, and a disaster that's how the experts and some analysts have described not the case itself, but the leak of the supreme court draft opinion that would throw out roe versus wade. many are calling the leak unprecedented but it is not the first time supreme court documents were leaked to the news media in fact, it happened twice in the original roe versus wade case in 1972, "the washington post" got ahold of a memo, one that a justice wrote about the case "the post" used it in a story about the court's private discussions. then seven months later a law clerk tipped off a "time" magazine reporter about the ruling a court expert told nbc news then chief justice warren burger was infuriated and right now chief justice john roberts is not pleased at all himself. in a statement, he blasted the leak, writing in part to the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the co

for the longest time, vance was struggling in the polls, falling behind josh mandel.ormer president trump offered up an endorsement. that seemed to give vance the lead that he had looking for. changed the race overnight. mandel is still running as a pro donald trump candidate. he still in the race. voters have said that they questioned vance's credentials. we caught up with him today as he cast his ballot in cincinnati. he said he's confident the polls will prove accurate. >> i feel good. look, we're in a good place. we have to get the voters to turn out. look, i think we're going to win and going to win by a big margin. >> state senator matt dolan is a more traditional conservative is reportedly seeing a late surge of report. he greeted voters as the polls opened up. >> and people pay attention to this race and there's seven of us to choose from, there's one candidate, me, that has been talking about ohio, going to washington and fight for ohioans. that's why momentum is great. >> when it comes to a primary, it's about turnout. turnout in primary voting is low. they

josh mandel is in second, not backed by trump. but still tieing himself with the former president stumping with texas senator ted cruz the name trump is much more an endorsement. >> it is a governing philosophy america first is a governing philosophy when it comes to the economy, when it comes to jobs in our state. >> reporter: and some undecided voters say policy pitches matter more including independents in delaware county where trump's margin of victory plummeted 9 points from 2016 to 2020. >> i am not necessarily looking at candidates m i'looking at the issues. >> reporter: even some independents who voted for trump un-phased by his push >> just because you have these famous people in your corner doesn't mean that that's a smart thing to do. >> reporter: the sentiment shared at rallies, too. >> anyone running really needs to look at the reason why trump was successful by so many people and that was by putting american first. >> reporter: in a crowded primary, trump policy ideas echoing through multiple campaigning suggesting e
