look at montgomery county, which is also her home county. right now from the results that have come in, she is leading oz by about 7 percentage points in montgomery county. you look here in bucks county, oz sleeding here, but she has about 24% of the share here. i was talking just earlier to an adviser of barnette acknowledged to me they felt they were able to take quite a dent of oz's support here, sort of that light, soft support that oz was facing among a lot of people who were skeptical of him despite that trump endorsement. and she really ran her candidacy around this idea that she was the most maga candidate and that maga expanded beyond donald trump. that's where we're talking about the reshaping of this republican party in 2022. ultimately, trump is going to walk away with a lot of wins, adding a lot of these loyalists to his stable here. at the same time, he may find other individuals. i don't think a david mccormick a couple years ago is the same we'll see in the campaign trails in the months ahead. it's montgomery county, bucks co

from montgomery county. a fair amount to come from bucks county as well.the philadelphia suburbs, i think there's going to be a single source of outstanding votes to come in tonight. and again, let's see if that shakes us up at all. here. the other issue, as i mentioned, is mail in ballots. ballots that either arrived later today, were dropped off today, were postmarked. many different combinations. different counties are handling them differently. there are some counties that made the decision, we are not going to look at mail-in ballots until the morning after the election. so, we are not sure on the exact number, but i would say there was at least 33,000 mail-in ballots that have not been counted. and they are not included in this. and many of those 33 thousands are not going to be processed and reported out until tomorrow at the earliest. so that is the other key variable here. we're looking at the same day vote. particularly in the philadelphia suburbs. there are other counties with same-day votes to come. that is going to have a lot to say about how

if that's the case, they have a ways to go. >> montgomery county 3 of 67. they were reporting less than half the vote in at 40%. still a ways to go there. in delaware county, 5 of 67. these are -- a lot of folks live here in southeastern p.a. they were at 27% of the vote. a lot there in southeastern pennsylvania. still outstanding. that may make up the difference with mccormick and oz and determine the outcome, the ultimate outcome here. pop up here. this is nor hamilton county. you can see oz leading mccormick. there too, you have about half of the vote is in. so there's more ballots to be counted out there. come here to lancaster, pennsylvania here. got it. they're around the same area as northampton. the susquehanna river here. amish country. southern pennsylvania. right along the southern border there. lancaster is reporting about 54% of the votes in. so there is still -- i get in summary, laura, what i would tell you as of 10:41 east coast time in pennsylvania, you are really waiting on this part of the state here to clock in and we'll see how much this

let's look at montgomery county, one of the biggest right outside philadelphia. ucks county. similar story, let's go into what we got from philadelphia so far. philadelphia actually, this is kenya's home area here. he is actually leading in a boat here, followed very closely by fetterman, and then laminate this in here. primarily looking at mailing ballots here and this democratic primary. we talked about the disparity. mail-in ballots pick up a county of half of all the votes cast it in democratic primary in pennsylvania. for pets that are meant to be running up these kind of numbers from west to east, and in between in the middle of the state to. that's a substantial lead that betterment has built their over lamb. you can just look at that map and immediately see, here's the place where lamp can turn around. like i said, this is mail voting, we still have the votes from today that will be counted up. we will see if there's been some dramatic shift in the same day vote. that's what it would take four lamb to get into this. otherwise, fetterman is in great positio

let me pop around here a momentc here.ou 3 montgomery county, three of. sixty seven . they were reporting less than half of the vote in at 40%. w so still a ways to go there as well down here in delaware county, five of sixty seven . these are a lot of folks live down here in southeastern p.a. they were at 27% of the vote. so a lot there in southeastern pennsylvania still outstanding . that may make up the difference again between mccormick wi determine really the outcome, the ultimate outcome here. pop up here. this is north hampton county and you see leading mccormick in this specific county. havemccorm justuou about half of the half of the vote is in . so there's more ballots to be counted out there. come down here too lancaster, pennsylvania here. yes, got it. so they're around the same areas, north hampton on the susquehanna river here, lancaster. you got the farmland hereto. amish territory is amish country as well in southern pennsylvaniasout right along i the southern border there, lancaster is reporting aboutsti 54% of the votes in . so there is still so i gues

montgomery county rank third ou of 57 we just got dunked there about 85% of the vote is now in in montgomery county, which boosted up a lot from where we were about 30 minutes ago. that's a lot better over the edge over the city of philadelphia and delaware county . 5-67 here delaware is that 27% then so there's 3-quart of the boat and that still has to be taken into account here appeare we will pop on up here. i apologize dr. oz leading mc cormick but northampton again, there about half the votes so, shannon, what i want to tell you is that this number that you see in the upper right-hand corner, 99%, that is the estimated vote in on this particular election. and based on turnout, if you ge more votes income in, that number can drop down, depending on how many votes might be out there. if you are with us in november, if that was the case the state of virginia and we moved to virginia come, it was heavy turnout in most states and it looked like pennsylvania's doin something very similar tonight on the republican side one more thing i'm showing you, you wonder why is there read. potter county

there's the other part of america, though, where when i was a news reporter for the montgomery countyomicides of young black trans women not far from here, right over in montgomery county in maryland, and one of them was in october of 2015. she was a young woman named zella ziona. she was dragged out into an alleyway and she was shot once in the head and shot once in the groin and left to die in front her screaming mother by someone who would later say in court, or basically that the court files would later show, you know, he didn't want to be seen, or he deemed her to be too flamboyant, right? and then there was another case where i had to go and cover another horrific homicide of a young woman named keyonna blakeney, and her dad crying to me on the phone months later, "i miss my baby girl, "i miss my baby girl", and knowing fully well that there are still too many people who would have gone up to someone like him and say, "you mean your son". it's heartbreaking. and that's the reality that a lot of trans people still face. we can'tjust overlook that. so that's part of the reality. i

oz lists montgomery county as his home county.nette and oz running one/two in montgomery county. so, i do think it's a geographic element based on the home counties candidates using on the ballots. you see mccormick in rural western pennsylvania. and in central pennsylvania put up good numbers. the other thing, if you go to northeast pennsylvania, you know who's doing real well right there. mehmet oz. take a look at lackawanna county where scranton, mehmet oz, wilkes-barre, hazleton, oz putting up good numbers here. i was looking at the spreadsheet. we were trying to track, based on donald trump's performance in 2016 republican primaries. trump swept pennsylvania in the 2016 republican primaries. it's the only republican primary trump ever ran in pennsylvania. if you index this vote to donald trump's performance in the '16 republican primary, the place where is trump got the highest share of the vote in the 2016 primary, oz is doing the best in those places. so, i think there was a boost for oz. but, again, that doesn't mean it's

it is really extraordinary the rise of kathy barnett, a republican from montgomery county, conservative commentator, who just three days ago no one was really talking about as a serious candidate in this race. she has two front runners, they are beating the heck out of each other on the air for weeks now, so the nastiness ads we have seen in an awfully long time. of course, what happens there is that when you highlight one guys negatives your own negatives arise as well. and that created a path for somebody to run up the middle. the fault was, that might have been jeff vargas republican candidate from 2018, also for montgomery county, but as it turned out it was kathy burnett, who has been running alongside doug mastriano. so much so in fact that some other campaign signs read mastriano barnett. she has really hitched her fortunes to him. it has led to some money all of a sudden, and republicans are now so worried that they are shopping opposition research, it is raising questions about her background and qualifications. >> wanita, this election in pennsylvania is causing some problems

montgomery county. pennsylvania, they list the candidates home counties on the ballot with them. barnett lists montgomery as your home county. of all was listed as well. so maybe there's a benefit therefore barnett. just by being a montgomery resident. but these philadelphia suburbs are going to be huge as the same day vote comes in there. also the sort of south central pennsylvania region. there is a lot of just mail vote that's been counted so far. only the beginning of the same day vote. so we want to see how that will one breaks as well. still you dismiss at the big picture right here. more than 70% of the voters are still to come. it's going to be same day both that's going to decide this thing. and i can just quickly check in, in madison cawthorn. >> yeah let's do cawthorn. >> sure, the quick story here on madison cawthorn is, here it is. he is within 1500 votes. cawthorn's, here's the problem from madison cawthorn. the counties within this district, the county that has the most outstanding votes

one, kathy barnette, in montgomery county in the suburbs out here. , 30%, 25, 18. so that's what we'll be watching. bucks county, 31, 24, 19. so they're splitting the vote in the early vote as we come through it and you're looking for anything regional at the moment. obviously philadelphia is county number one. allegheny county in terms of population is county number two. here you do see mccormick with an edge in this three-way race. you see how the vote is splitting. in the population centers you want a gap like that if it holds up. it's only 12% of the vote but you'd like a 20-point gap like that in a major population center because that gives you math. but from the trump experience we know pennsylvania is a very competitive state or commonwealth and you see all these counties that are gray, that's trump country. so does the trump endorsement matter? does kathy barnette say she was trump before trump and pushing those conservative positions or maga positions, does that work? and if you're asking at home why is that county white, that's a tie. 87-87.

and she previously ran for congress in montgomery county.experience as a candidate, which gives her a little bit more name recognition. but she has been sort of building this. >> talking to the group of voters we did in southwest pennsylvania, i got the cause oz and mccormick, are they for real, are they really trump guys, american firsters. one voter wanted to know what dr. oz's real abortion position was. it seems like kathy barnett is benefiting from that in that i know where she stands. >> she's benefiting from people looking for a change. i think jeff bartos might have thought he benefited from that. we don't know whether it will ultimately benefit oz because you now have two strong candidates splitting an anti-oz vote. >> tell me about the philadelphia democratic machine. is it not going to deliver for connor lamm? >> connor lamm has gotten quite a few endorsements in the philadelphia area. you have talked to john federman, the lieutenant governor has a lot of support here but connor lamm has gotten a lot of the official endorsements.

after the trump endorsement, take a look at places where kathy barnette's in first place, like montgomery county. now this is her home county. it's the third largest county in pennsylvania. oz is in second place. so you see there's evidence that they're eating into each other's bases. and if you add those two numbers up of course mccormick's in a distant third. but mccormick may have been able to come through the middle. take a look where he's rising which is surprising. rural counties. traditionally rural counties are the heart of trump country, especially in a state like pennsylvania. mccormick outperforming in a lot of these rural counties. also something interesting to take a look at. this is coal country. now, dr. oz is performing particularly well in coal country. however, mccormick is doing pretty well in suburban counties and also this base of pittsburgh where he grew up. so you see mccormick has a lot of room to grow in some of the bigger counties in the state but it's pretty clear that barnette ate into oz and that's got to be driving the trump folks crazy tonight. >> listen, that was

so check out montgomery county. this is one of the big ones outside philadelphia. joe biden beating donald trump by 26 points here. go back in time four years earlier, hillary clinton won, but her margin was significantly less. clinton over trump was less than 100,000 votes. biden over trump was nearly 140,000 votes. so biden drove up much bigger margins in the densely populated philadelphia suburbs. this was the area of the state that had the most negative reaction to trump from 2016 to 2020. so what democrats are hoping in 2022 in the midterm environment is with doug being the republican nominee for governor in particular who has played such a role in january 6th, they believe that doug is going to turn off the exact type of voters who really were turned off to donald trump and made the suburbs outside of philadelphia even bluer than they had been. because by making these suburbs more blue in 2020 than in 2016, biden succeeded in flipping the state. democrats are hoping that doug on the gubernatorial side turned enough voters in places off to the republicans that

so, the montgomery county prosecutor at the time, bruce castor, who, by the way, good trivia, laura,nt donald trump in the impeachment trial in front of the united states senate. he said to bill cosby that he would not be prosecuting him criminally. castor's story was that he didn't think he could meet his burden, and that he, castor, wanted to help andrea come stat in civil litigation and remove the opportunity for cosby to plead the fifth. by the way her team disputes all of this. i need to make that clear. whatever ended up happening is castor didn't prosecute. a subsequent d.a. did. she was successful in her civil suit, and years later the supreme court of pennsylvania said, hey cosby should never have been prosecuted in the first place because the d.a. committed he wouldn't bring the case. >> and of course the other prosecutor should have been bound by that notion. the next question for people is, okay, if that's the case for bill cosby as to why he's out of prison now and able to be prosecuted at least civilly at this point in time, how is it that we're able to hear about a cas

montgomery county and beyond, can dr.f course, if he does, can he unify the republican party? but barnette and mccormick also running strong in the race. any predictions a at this point are fool hardy. democrats hope to pick up a seat here, the seat of retiring senator pat toomey. >> and that is going to be one to watch, the gop side. on the other side of the aisle, in pennsylvania, an uphill battle for connor lamb trying to upset lieutenant governor john fetterman. so we know fetterman wasn't able to be on the trail in the final days after suffering a stroke. we just learn he cast his own ballot in the race from the hospital. has this development changed the dynamic of this race at all? >> i mean, it's certainly injected some uncertainty into what was a certain race. john fetterman had a significant lead headed into primary over his two opponents, conor lamb and malcolm kenyatta. i've called around a number of fetterman supporters who said they're not going to change their plans for primary day because of the stroke that

election cycle, right, bucks county, mccormick has an edge of their peers will come down to montgomery countyof people, 3 out of 67 here. cathy barnette, slight edge, or part of the state, likewise dr. oz. let's check it is early, 759, watch that. while i have you, let's see what is happening with the republican governor's race. but either way, remember trump endorsed dr. oz and they went down here, if i can do it for you, this is -- let me see if i can reset that. this is west moreland county where they had that rally a week and a half ago and trump got behind dr. oz and right now you see he is trailing just a bit therapeutic on the governor side, trump got behind doug mastriano early on. it was about a week ago when lou barletta, the congressman who is now in second place here, came out very forcefully over the weekend and said to the former president, i gave you your loyalty, where is your loyalty in return to me? he was not happy because he did not get trump's endorsement. mastriano however he did and he has pulled into first place, denoted in orange, and you can see how many counties he

"today." dasha, you have been following the republican primary. what should we know? oh, let me interrupt you. sorry. let's go right to president biden at the memorial there in new york right outside the grocery store. >> governor hochul and chuck schumer right there. we're seeing the president and first lady. there is that makeshift memorial that has been growing right outside the grocery store that you see is behind the president and those trees is the actually grocery store, you still see the yellow crime tape that is still up there in this makeshift memorial that has been growing just across the street, where the president and first lady and some other representatives have been placing flowers. this meeting just outside the grocery store. it looks like that they are asking the folks to move, so just wanted to bring that to you live as it happens. i want to go back -- and of course we'll keep a close watch on what is going on there in new yo

it's been almost three years since montgomery county officer t.j.bamba passed away from suicide. he was 38 years old and left behind a wife and two sons. in the aftermath immediately, we brought together officer bam about a's colleagues -- bamba's colleagues and the head of n.i.h. mental health, dr. joshua gordon, and others to chart a course of action. we discussed access to care and the stigma surrounding mental health and how we could be advocates for change. the round table produced two calls to action. increasing peer counseling support opportunities for mental health, and provide parity and benefits for mental health conditions. i made a promise that day to do everything i could to turn these ideas into law. six months ago we accomplished one of our goals, when i stood alongside officer bamba's wife and two sons as president biden signed the first of our two bills into law. the cops counseling act increased access to peer support that will help fight stigma and improve access to mental health services. today i stand here and applaud the passage of our second bill, the publi

nuclear power plants like the ones you see behind me, that's the lime rick generating station in montgomery countya look at the numbers on coal plants, across the u.s.. in the next six years we will shutter 14 states will shutter 80 total coal fired plants. the hope is that renewables will makeup the difference. well, are they? in pennsylvania alone, this coal state, we're the third largest coal producing state in the union. used to get 50% of its electricity from coal. that was just 10 years ago, now just 10%, and some folks say, we're in for blackouts, we're in for energy shortages, because we're shutting down coal and nuclear too fast to have the renewables like solar keep up. take a listen. >> the biggest problem with solar, besides the fact that it's made primarily in china, besides the fact that the rare earth's that power them are min ed in unsustainable locations around the world, the biggest problem with solar is that you can't use it 15 hours a day but we do use electricity 24 hours a day. reporter: yeah, the problem is we don't have enough storage for what we do produce in terms of wind

went through the evening moving back and forth from justice roberts and kavanaugh's homes, and montgomery countyhe home addresses were published online from the leak of justice alito's draft opinion on roe v. wade. chris scalia, son of the late justice antonin scalia, he weighed in on this. >> when justices try to intervene and settle cultural and social debates that are really outside of their jurisdiction, they fail. and that obviously was the case with roe. overturning roe does not mean banning abortion across, across america as many people seem to believe. it means that people actually get to vote on the issue, which is how it should be. >> reporter: so given that 6 of the 9 justices were raised catholic, the faith itself is being targeted on this mother's day with calls for advocateses to rally both outside and many catholic churches. the group tweeted this: stuff your rosaries and your weaponized -- we will remain outraged after this weekend, so keep praying. we'll be burning our eucharist for -- in disgust. justice the clarence thomas said the supreme court justices should not be bullied

creativity and looking at things like mixing some cross subsidy revenue models along the lines of montgomery county, which is -- which has far fewer resources than san francisco and is doing so much more with those limited resources. and lastly, and this is something that i've been trying to get an understanding of for years, what percentage of section 8 vouchers remain unused in this town because housing prices are so high and landlords don't want to rent to section 8 tenants. we need to look at all of these resources and everything else mentioned and really break out of the cramped approach that we are taking. thank you very much. >> thank you for your comments. please put the next caller forward. hello, caller. >> hello, my name is seymour, i live and work in district 8. i'm calling to comment that this hearing has made it very clear the city does not currently have the capacity to meaningfully reach the goals for affordable housing and that's why we passed props i and k in november 2020. prop i, to fund social housing and prop k, 10,000 units of public housing for all. that's what those are for

county who had been missing for 21 years from honduras. so it gives me hope that we can identify these individuals here. >> reporter: at the air force base in tucson, michael montgomery'sm is hard at work trying to find people before the situation turns dire. >> there's an active 911 call. >> reporter: joining us in the sky, tucson division chief steve krystinzio from u.s. border control. >> if you look at these rock outcroppings, they'll climb into there for cover and can't detect them, then they'll find themselves in trouble. >> what does that tell you about the desperation? >> the misinformation, sending these individuals through this area, no idea what they're getting into. >> reporter: the last year alone, customs and border protection rescuing more than 13,000 nationwide. up 150% from a year before. they've got a unique challenge. enforcing border security while also acting as first responders in a life-saving rescue is needed. >> it sounds like a contradiction. you're doing law enforcement, but you're also doing h humanitarian? >> they do hand in hand, especially in the summer months. the search and rescue turns into humanitarian mission. >> reporter: on the gro

look at three key counties in the is there part of the state where oz is doing very well and those were the areas around philadelphia where he needed to do well, lancaster and montgomeryhat is where kathy barnett is ahead in those three counties that ultimately could make up the difference. i think that she took more votes away from oz. it shows you tha and we saw this in ohio as well. when you have two campaigns, we are spending a lot of money. $60 million was spent on the race in pennsylvania so far. two campaigns that are in and in and nobody really breaks out. usually voters start looking for an alternative because there is a level of they are not quite comfortable with the two front runners. we saw that in ohio. we saw that with kathy barnett. and that is really what has upended this race and the reason why i think we are in this situation that we are in where we still do not have a winner. doug mastriano, a lot of folks are nervous about this. a lot of money came into lou bar letta's race late in the game. i talked to folks in the game. shapiro is the attorney general of the state. he is daily popular. -- fairly popular. pennsylvania is a swing state. it is a ve

in montgomery county, maryland, crashes involving people walking or biking near schools decreased by 25% to 42% after safe routes to school efforts provided engineering improvements like better crosswalks and signs. and provide -- by providing the opportunity to walk and bike to school, we can improve safety, promote health, and physical activity. through initiatives like safe routes to schools, the transportation alternatives program is poised to make a major contribution to delivering on local demands to become more walkable, more bike friendly, and safer for all road users. the third program i want to highlight from the infrastructure law is reconnecting communities which will deliver $1 billion to addressing an outstanding equity challenge related to our transportation infrastructure. we held a hearing about the need for this program last year in the transportation and infrastructure subcommittee. the building of our national highway system from the 1950's was in many ways a great national achievement, a major public investment in our infrastructure that transformed our country a
