in indiana, you have luke messer and todd, two pretty prominent republicans in the house. they were expected to be the next budget chairman. but then they went home, they ran for the senate seat and tried to argue about who loved trump more. one of the lessons from last night, you can't just say you love trump and trump loves you. both of them lost. the other guy, rob pittinger of north carolina, this is someone that gop leaders knew he was going to go down at some point. they thought he would lose in the general election opposed to the primary. again, this is just the beginning for republicans. >> that seat in north carolina, democrats think they have a chance at that because of the nominee there. the happiest man in washington, i think even more happy than the president, is mitch mcconnell. don blankenship, that coal executive, ran against the "china" people, that would be mitch mcconnell's asian-american wife. he called him cocaine mitch. last night, mitch mcconnell tweeted out this. thanks for playing, don. you see the senate majority leader, what is he doing, making f

messer: thank you, madam speaker. i rise today in support of this historic bipartisan compromise that rolls back some of the most harmful policies from the dodd-frank act. and will help grow our economy mented -- economy. the act includes bipartisan legislation that i authored to help communities in indiana and across the united states save money on roads, bridges and schools. it reverses a backward banking rule that gave foreign countries an advantage over american cities and towns. this will drive down the cost of borrowing and make it cheaper for cities and towns to finance local infrastructure projects. ultimately, this bill saves taxpayer dollars. that's why it has passed the house twice, is supported by numerous advocacy groups, and my good friend, the state treasurer of indiana, kelly mitchell. i applaud this bill's inclusion in this banking reform package, and urge my colleagues to support the rule and the underlying bill. thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas reserves. the

luke messer against todd rokita and mike braun.itical outsider but spent time as a state legislator. whoever wins will go against senator joe donnelly. senator donnelly is one of those labeled as obstructionist. president trump will throw the weight of the white house into this race to defeat donley. >> political wing of the white house is looking at this as the most important race in the country and we started and still have five blue seats that were in play. >> this primary has been particularly nasty and should shake out to be the most expensive in the nation. airwaves are full of jabs. democrats have suggested the republicans are doing their opposition research for them. in fact, race watchers have said the candidates have done so much damage to each other they've turned a right leaning state into a toss-up. each candidate defends his position. >> i am not waiting until october so that donley can stick a fork in one of my two opponents. we have to get this information out now and that's what a primary is about. >> we'll win thi

he won the senate primary defeating with luke messer. november. we hope to have them back on the show later this week. >> let's sit in on these primaries. they reject the french candidates in ohio, congressman jim defeats his rival and will face brown in november and presently trump is tweeting about the new york governor's race. congratulations on his big win in the great state of ohio. he will be a great governor with a heavy focus on health care and jobs. the socialist opponent should not do well, a big failure. [inaudible] >> it was a great night for the ohio gop. we had great record turnout, democrats always talk about the blue wave, a crash last night in ohio. we had 150,000 more votes in the senate race and we are ready to win in november. >> what you account for that because typically the party out of power is normally the most energized and of course with the media hyping a so-called blue wave, this has been one of the supposedly characteristics of that and yet your point, republicans came out big-time last night. >> they did, a

messer went to wabash college together.fighting each other. for a long time we thought it would be one of them. mike brawn come in and spent 6 million of his own money. probably favored. any one of the three will give joe done lay good race as long as the republicans can get their act together and put the primary bitterness behind them. ainsley: go to the carolinas talking to a south carolina girl about north carolina is a little tough. no big statewide primaries here. there is an awful lot of state legislative races in play. republicans currently hold 10 house seats in the carolinas out of 13. there is some redistricting going on. so the primary also see just how well they are going to be able to play defense. how many of these seats can they protect? one race of real interest to me because i spent some time in charlotte. robert pit jerry is seeking re-election. is he doing a rematch of his primary fight from a couple years ago hoping he can hang on in that that one. mark harris came within a couple votes. 25 more of these

congressmen you just saw there who are now praising trump just about a year or two ago i think it was messerwas rokida who accused him of racism. >> and this is a pretty good symbol of the transition of the republican party. the folks who were never trump in the campaign in 2016 are now putting the hacks on in the ads. aren't you hoping that democrats hope that's exactly who they get to run against? you get somebody that will lurch as far -- not even right but lurch as far into the goo of trumpism. >> the interesting thing about indiana is it shifted big from '08 when it barely went from obama. the incumbent here, joe donnelly, the democrat, he is only the democratic incumbent because his opponent imploded in 2012. this was richard murdock who talked about abortion in the case of rape on the campaign trail and donnelly won an accidental victory. so republicans have circled this race and said when we get a different dom knee in indiana in 2018 we'll get to take out donnelly. >> i was there with donnelly and i remember this was considered a long shot, and then murdock imploded. he was i think

greg pence, winning a republican house nomination there in the district that messer vacating.f there's more action on one side, that's always a factor. donley, the democratic senator in indiana didn't have to worry about any kind of a primary. a lot of action on the republican side. >> what about a state like ohio, though, where obviously a key swing state. what about the turnout there? >> ohio interesting. this is one that may be -- we'll find out a lot more about ohio this fall. the question is ohio in the trump era becoming less of a swing state? is ohio more of a trump republican state? they have dewine for governor, the republican establishment wanted that. that governor's race when you look ahead to the fall there with dewine as the nominee, you might look at that and say that's a ten-point trump state, that might be advantage to the republicans there. >> steve kornacki, thank you very much. great to have you on. >>> still ahead this morning, senators jeff flake and tim kaine react to president trump pulling out of the iran nuclear deal. >>> plus, nick confessorry sums t
