for more on all, this we turn to nbc news reporter julia jester. who is live in las vegas. katy this weekend was a who's who of potential 2024 republican contenders. and that context was not lost on several of the attendees, like mike pompeo who joked that the next time he could be seeing former vice president pence would be on the debate stage. former boston nikki haley who addressed 2024 speculation head on, saying that now that the midterms are over she will seriously look into a ron. in, will, quote have more on that soon. but of, course only one republican is officially in that 2024 race and that is former president donald trump. he was a prime target for attacks as you mentioned from several of the speakers. whether sitting governors or as you mentioned some of his former cabinet members. take a listen to some of the comments that were made both referencing trump by name and featuring a little more subtlety. >> trump was saying that we will be winning so much that we get tired of winning. well i'm kind of. losing we keep losing and losing and losing. and the fact of th

. >> julia jester for us, thank you, julia. good to talk to you.d former -- donna edwards and msnbc political analyst. welcome to you both. charlie, let me start with you on this one. anything to take away here from the fact that the former president did not show up? he was there sort of virtually. we had governor ron desantis there are obviously in person. former new jersey governor, chris christie, in person. pompeo in person, nikki haley in person. the former president trump kind of coming through virtually. >> i think the real significance of this event was that donald trump did not clear the field. he announced he is running for president on monday and in a party he has absolutely dominated, you would have assumed other candidates would have backed away by now. not one of them did. and they were all standing there saying, here i am as a possible alternative. that's what is most striking about it. i still think donald trump has to consider the odds on favorite but he's not the prohibited favorite. this was on display this weekend. >> here's wha

raf sanchez is in london for us and a very loud pub, i believe, and nbc's julia jester is at a watchn washington, d.c. raf, as i can see, because i've been sneaking peeks during commercial breaks, possession has been pretty equal during these two teams. it is 0-0. what is it like over there? >> it is pretty electric. with a couple of minutes to go until half time. the official estimate for the british pub association is 30 million pints of beer dropping across the u.k. and i can tell you, it may be a little conservative. i think with these folks here, might get to that number on their own. i want to show you something. tilt the camera over here, you can see there are a lot of people here who are wearing rain coats. that is not because of the london drizzle. that is because of the expectation that when england scores a goal in this game against the u.s., every single pint of beer will go up in the air, just like oath faithful and these people are ready for it. in westbly, northwest england, a couple hundred yards from the english national stadium, that is sacred ground and that is the

joining us now live from chesapeake nbc's julia jester. julia, what more do we know? >> reporter: good morning, willie. chesapeake police confirm that six people have been killed, and the suspect is also deceased here at this walmart in chesapeake. we are awaiting an 8:00 a.m. news conference from authorities to hopefully get more details as to what happened. whether this is a targeted attack. whether suspects were employees or customers? hopefully we can get those details soon, but the mayor of chesapeake is coming out this morning with a heartfelt statement about his heart-broken community saying he's devastated by these senseless acts of violence and "chesapeake is a tight-knit community and we are all shaken by this news." as mentioned, this is not the first shooting seen this week. we have no idea how many victims have been injured. you mentioned those five, there could likely be more. even just last week, a few hours away in charlottesville, university of virginia, still reeling from a shooting there. so this state, this community, will have a little bit of a mo
