>> so, i don't know how much yesterday really changed the dynamic for november. i think we know the house is still in play. california could have changed things if democrats had been blocked off the ballot in those top two primaries, but they weren't. in new jersey, one of the picks for the republican opseat, e lonegan, a republican who's run for office before, who has carried the district he's running in before, did not win his primary nomination, so i'll definitely be re-evaluating that and seeing what the kind of unexpected republican who won, john mccann, how he could fair in that election but his funding didn't indicate he could run as strong of an election as steve lo>>n. couploeraces, a lot of them in california by virtue of the size of the state. ed royce is retiring in california 39. it's an open seat. what happened? >> so, yung kim used to work with ed royce, former assemblywoman, and she will be the republican nominee there, and it looks like she'll be facing gill cisneros, a democrat who the cc in washington, d.c., is really excited about. he's hispan

that may keep congress from going democratic come november., yes, trump will come out and stump for cox. and a lot of people are not going to like trump, but a number of people will, especially now that he's had some success. >> if we read between the lines does gavinidentrumpoming in tow more. >> short term answer. he emerges as governor in california is automatically on the short list for presidential nominations. >> in the race for lieutenant governor, the winner who replaces gavin newsom, you can see it here with 42% of the precincts reporting, the top two will advance. eleni kounakis wh 23%. you can see cole harris there at 19%, the republican. so tse touldh 42% reporting right now to the november general. >> in the race for attorney general, xavier becerra trying to keep that job. he was appointed last yr by governor jerry brown. he filled that seat vacated when kamala harris was elected to the u.s. senate. you can see becerra continues to hold the lead. >> for us parents here in the bay area, with all this money at stake, a tight race f

they will get back to work towards november. when they will be taking on whoever comes in as the number 2 spot in right now that is looking like john cox. he made a very big point of saying that he represents the courage to fight for change. the courage he said is fighting for what california values are. he said against someone like john cox who was endorsed by the president, california has been at odds with the white house with the trump administration for the past year under governor jerry brown and that is something that we heard tonight. he set up he becomes the governor he will take up the mantle in the fight and fight for what he calls california values. there is a huge crowd here, erupted in cheers after they heard him speak but certainly, this is one of those moments where we are seeing him move forward, charging forward to try to get there to sacramento and take up the path that jerry brown has set us on. >>> now to cristina rendon with more on the primary and more on the race to challenge newsom in november. we are liv

i'm encouraged as we had to november.everybody to do their part if we are going to get this done. david: for the democrats to take back the house, does a selection need to be about donald trump as president? if so, does that mean it might be slipping away from you? his poll numbers, while modest, are up from where they were. rep. lujan: politicos to the democrats have consistently had advantages along the way. the individual polling we have come a district to district, shows the strength of our candidates. there is nothing jim it -- generic about our candidates. there are so many incredible candidates who have served our country's -- country. local leaders are connecting with voters across america. when you look at the strength of what we can get done going into this election cycle, i think we are in a strong place. our candidates, they are not going to talk about president trump so much. i think the american people are tired about talking about him. let's be honest, no one is going to talk about president trump more than

we can't do anything until after november anyway. politically on capitol hill, what were the odds of some action taking place on immigration between now and the election, and what are the odds now after that tweet from donald trump? >> i mean the odds were pretty low before. it was a heavy lift from the start. that's why the moderate proposal was punted supposedly to the next week in the first place. but then when trump issued that tweet, it really let the air out of any more energy. i thought of all the members that spoke in that clip that you shared, mark sanford, i thought, of south carolina was the most honest in saying, look, it's going to be really hard to do it now. let's remember that paul ryan and other leaders at the beginning of this debate said they need trump's support. they need his backing. we don't want to bring anything to the floor unless we know for sure that this is something that he's going to support. obviously he's not going to support. i think we're just hearing a lot of talk and trying to say this is supporti

garrett, to chris's point moments ago, mitch mcconnell said never mind this election in november as far as i can tell there isn't a presentation this year. if his world if there is not a presidential election he is not interested in hoeding up a nomination for a supreme court justice. >> no, mcconnell would love to get this done quickly. supreme court nominations is an issue republican voters care a great deal about. democratic voters haven't been as dialed in on that issue. i talked to several democratic elected officials and staff members about this this week it's just not something that the democratic base has cared as much about traditionally but over the last week, having seen three major supreme court rulings against them i think you might be starting to see that change. i think you will see two fights in the senate this summer and fall assuming that the president is able to make that appointment judiciously and do so in a quick way. you will see first a fight amongst democrats to decide whether they are willing to use the "hardball" tactics that chris was just talking about. whet

, that both c and g would be invalidated gg forward on this november ballot. lastly, the proposed budget in front of you assumes the passage of a dedication of hotel taxes that supervisors peskin and tang have introduced and is pending at the board of supervisors for voters' consideration in november . it would restore historical linkage between the city's tax. this is an alternative to proposition f that failed to get the two thirds vote a couple of years ago. that's pending at the board. so those are a couple of the highlights. as you know, the budget has grown to over $11 million in front of you, 11.1 billion in the first year of the budget, 11.2 in the second year. when we take a look at some of the key drivers sitting under tax revenues that are assumed in the budget before you, and there's much more discussion of these in the report itself, so i'm happy to answer additional questions, but this shows you kind of the shape of some of the major taxes that we've seen in recent years, and the projections in the future. so business tax, we are anticipating con
