as we said, west virginia, congressman evan jenkins internal patrick morrissey hope to beat don blankenship. as a result, he is gaining some traction. joining me now attorney general mr. morrissey. good to see you this evening. >> it's good to be with you tonight. thank you. >> we're glad to have you. explain to me what you said today about what see as campaign violations from the blankenship camp and why you reached out to his parole officer in nevada? >> couple of things. very big issue, don blankenship has a history of ignoring the rule of law. everyone knows about his criminal conviction relating to the conspiracy to violate mining standards. when you file as a u.s. senate candidate, you're supposed to submit your personal financial disclosures. you're wealth, your income, your assets and liabilities and don blankenship ignoring that. that comes with potential civil and criminal penalties. he just brushing it off like it's no one's business. this is important information for voters so they can actually know a little bit more about you. your finances and your conflict of interest. >> his

seems like patrick morrissey just survived. n blankenship had a lead but morrissey just survived this thing. >> i would dispute that because i know patrick morrissey. he is an indefatigable campaigner. i never met someone who worked as hard. he came from behind. blankenship had to lead, he got in front, the pres. got involved, and his son tweeted out, let's get behind, jenkins, an interesting strategy with the democrats, they tried to beat jenkins, they were successful in driving jenkins's numbers down but he is the one candidate who can beat manchin who is in real trouble. his opponent in the democratic primary 14-1, got a little more than 65% of the vote. a huge harbinger that he has real challenges not only with as you mentioned earlier could be a republican, that doesn't get his base excited and republicans go past morrissey and in ohio, up a little from where it was in 2014 in the last midterm. republicans are energized in west virginia. rob: great insight. it will be a wild 2018 midterm. i was on its newest business trying

patrick morrissey, he's the republican nominee. and he will face off against joe manchin.tivist he had to beat in the democratic primary tonight, he did that handily, he gets the renomination. what can we expect? this is going to be one of the most closely contested senate races in the country. donald trump won this state by 42 points in 2016. 42 points. not a single democrat in the country up in 2018 has to run in a state more pro-trump than joe manchin. patrick morrissey, the west virginia attorney general, what will manchin do to go after him? a couple of things you can expect. number one, morrissey has a past as a lobbyist. number two, he has a past in new jersey. he ran for congress there 18 years ago in a republican primary in new jersey. i got a feeling the manchin folks will be mentioning that in the fall. so, you got that race to look forward to, and by the way, we had a big upset in another race tonight. we weren't talking much about this before, we will be going forward, a republican member of congress, bob pittenger lost his seat tonight. he was defeated in a r

, because they fear jenkins and perhaps patrick morrissey, but jenkins can beat manchin in the fall, now he is spending money to put himself in the lead. >> the other is a split, they can split the vote giving blankenship this win, but then it comes down to g.o.p. leadership. why are we in this position? this is what a lot of people are asking. we know what we have to accomplish. there has to be some kind of coalescing in making this not happen in this fashion, and this is why we look funny at the g.o.p. establishment that once again they should be something that should be a fighting fight by a strong republican end against manchin could win. we are not even there. that's why we have some questions about the g.o.p. >> i could not agree with you more, that's why i personally stepped up and contributed to the jenkins campaign, because i felt that he was the best candidate, but you know, i'm not a west virginian, but i believe that west virginia is a great opportunity for us. if you look at the virginian ballot, the generic republican's 14 points ahead. if you look at the polling of bla

these are all from patrick morrissey's he's been taking on leadership, republican leadership.h mcconnell. >> and he's got a new nickname for mitch mcconnell which makes him sound less like a lawmaker and more like a drug dealer. >> one of my goals as u.s. senators will be to ditch cocaine minutes. -mitch. >> that comes from an investigation and they blasted out that's. it says his father-in-law who founded and owns a large tiny shipping company has given mitch many dollars over the years. the company was smuggling cocaine recently hidden in a upon a ship carrying foreign coal, with $7 million in cocaine. mcconnell linked groups have spent more than $1.3 billion on that, but neither his official office or political office wanted to comment about the new nickname, cocaine mitch. >> the debate tonight will be sort of at halftime of the bret baier show. it will be brett and martha tonight, six eastern, 5:30 central. the stakes are very high. hundreds of homes in danger dominic endangered with wildfires. but firefighters are looking to catch a break thanks to the weather. that's co

but patrick morrissey would be a rebranding of the west virginia values so i would not support him. >rying to win this race and we'll keep working hard until the final bell rings. we are trying to get the turnout. support morrissey because otherwise blankenship might get the nomination and that would mean sure-fire loss. if you are thinking about voting for another candidate, know that the race is down to two people. please goat out to the polls and help out. reporter: president trump said the same sort of stuff. afraid of a repeat of the situation in alabama. this fella blankenship might make roy moore look like abe lincoln. charles: obviously blankenship comes with a lot of baggage. but he is certainly the bona fide outsider. and the republican national committee is not choosing sides, but we are seeing money from top-level republicans going town the race to support the other candidates. the democrats would pick this up and say this is the national poster child for the party. >> none of these races is a national indicator. every race is local. west virginia presence a unique dynamic

this is not bode well for patrick morrissey?e wind wasn't decisive. >> it's important to look at what issue will be in the upcoming election. for the democrats the message has not been a strong one. fun fact, the tax reform bill is very popular, especially a state like west virginia. only 12% of supporters view it as a positive thing he voted against the tax reform package. that'll be an important issue for morrissey to bring up and say though for me. not standing with trump all the issues i will. train to their wallets, paychecks, it investments. the gop senate results there for the senate seat in indiana. mike brought, tom okada, luke metzger. kind of a close race here. does this mean they gop themselves as republican voters were split in indiana? >> i think it's going to come down to voters and enthusiasm. it's much harder to get people to the polls when your party is artery in power. they look at the white house and say we've done our part. why do we have to keep saying enthusiastic on the midterm. it's easier to get people

the amount of anger, the amount of real hostility you saw between evan jenkins and patrick morrissey tonight, it was really intense, wash your mouth out with soap, nasty, calling each other i lie are giving don blankenship and gave him the opportunity, reminded me of trump and the presidential primary debates. i will let politicians rip each other to shreds and i will throw in a couple 1-liners here but it worked very well tonight. >> we lot of potential candidates not wanting to be too tightly aligned with donald trump. i heard a lot tonight of trying to out maggot each other. is that a winning formula? >> maggot times 3000. in this republican primary the electorate has 87% favorable rating for donald trump. that tells you there is no problem for associating yourself and in the general election a lot of democrats in west virginia voted for donald trump. he was a democrat, embraced a lot of policy democrats traditionally did and that is what blankenship is saying, i'm an outsider, not a typical politician and that is what i want to do, that makes it hard for jenkins but if there is a

patrick morrissey was on the stage. the fireworks and the issues and where the race stands right now. >> most of patrick morrissey's endorsements are the same as joe manchin had. conservatives don't go out and take campaign contributions from planned parenthood or don't accept money from drug companies flooding west virginia with opiates. i promise to have and to hold from this day forward, 'til death do us part. selectquote can help you keep your promise. with life insurance starting under $1 a day. but you promised dad. come on. selectquote helped jim, 41, keep his promise by finding him a $500,000 policy for under $26 per month. and found kathy, 37, a $750,000 policy for just $22 per month. since 1985, we've helped millions of families by finding them affordable coverage by impartially shopping highly rated insurers offering over 70 policies. dad, you're coming right? you promise? you promise? you promise? i promise. you promise? mr. elliot, what's your wiwifi?ssword? wifi's ordinary. basic. do i look basic? nope! wh

look at the vote right now in patrick morrissey's home county. a big county we're talking about. 71% of the vote. you see state wide morrissey is leading by about 3,000 votes. the biggest piece of real estate on this map is right here. no votes from berkeley county. the second biggest county in the state. we have seen morrissey running up the score in that part of the state. morrissey is due to get a big boost out that was county. what is left for jenkins? you gotta go to the southern part of the state. huntington, that's marshal university, a couple thousand votes, jenkins could shave off there. that's a very close race there. that's changed since the last time i looked. it's not a -- that's the state wide. that's much more like it. jenkins is running ahead. not going to net as much out there was if this holds. morrissey you see with that edge of 3,000, with the vote to come in. you don't see a path for blankenship. where was the upper big branch mine catastrophe? down here in coal country. running very far back there, 22%. that's where the mine

state attorney general patrick morrissey will beat congressman evan jenkins and former coal executiveon blankenship who comes in a distant third. we have 71% of the vote and he's barely below 20%. obviously this is a victory for president trump, and he called to block voting for don blankenship. he said do not vote for him, he can't be the other candidates. patrick morris was known as the most conservative race, but patrick morrissey is the one who emerges a winner in this west virginia race this evening. >> we are out of time for sarah and victoria, and i apologize. when we come back, we have our video of the day. nancy pelosi and a scary preview of what it would be like if she one in the midterm. -- one won in the midterm. and the safey for "most parallel parallel parking job" goes to... [ drum roll ] ...emily lapier from ames, iowa. this is emily's third nomination and first win. um...so, just...wow! um, first of all, to my fellow nominees, it is an honor sharing the road with you. and of course, to the progressive snapshot app for giving good drivers the discounts -- no, i have to

despite republicans' concerns that don blankenship could win, attorney general patrick morrissey is thee republican primary with 35% of the vote. morrissey beat out jenkins and blankenship who came in distant third. last night, he conceded and told nbc news he doubts he will run again. simone, good to talk to you again. we saw both republicans and democratic voters in four states vote in primaries yesterday. did you see any sort of surprises, things that stood out to you in yesterday's results? >> probably the biggest surprise is the first incumbent of the cycle to lose as north carolina in the ninth district, not a shock he had a competitive primary. narrowly defeated his challenger mark harris in 2016 only in a recount by 130 votes. lot of people thought he was doing better, taking the race more seriously. this is a wake up call for other republicans who are not as used to facing close elections that they need to be ready, whether for primary or possible blue wave for november. >> considering some surprises you mentioned, incumbent losing as well, what kind of clues could this give us

reporter: i have patrick morrissey, who just cast your ballot.e him seriously enough, don blankenship? >> no. i always thought voters knew about his record. he serve ad year in federal prison. a lot of his career he put himself above the law. it takes extra punch that voters know about convicted criminal, and my record as conservative fighter to get things done. reporter: calling people, china people, do you have any problem with that? >> i think the tone of don blankenship would be all wrong. i think he would be a terrible match-up with senator joe manchin. i don't think he is qualified to be in the u.s. senate. i'm confident the voters will put a proven, conservative feeter in place. reporter: another picture, evan jenkins don't leave him out, third person in this race, congressman from the southern part of the state. point out before we get away, john thune, senator from south dakota saying today, let's pray it doesn't happen a blankenship victory. thom tillis, senator from north carolina, saying woe spontoon blankenship should he win. we'll b

patrick morrissey. 34% there. in indiana, mike braun coming in there with 41% of the vote. about where we are heading into the midterms? >> well, you know, kind of the thing with blankenship, he was -- he was the undisputed, you know, trump clone of the bunch. he -- he had this race-baiting campaign, he was a former businessman, he had an axe to grind. it was really trumpism would have been really bad for donald trump in this case because it would have threatened the senate majority. republicans really need to knock off joe mnuchin if they want to protect that senate majority. they don't have a lot of momentum but have a friendly map. you see him needing to play this washington chess in order to carry his message. but this is a huge deal for republicans. and i'm sure they're breathing a big sigh of relief because it really makes this west virginia state, extremely important, there aren't that many in play. makes this one, you know, gettable for republicans. >> that is a fascinating number on the screen right now. we can't get into it, but democratic turnout in west virginia

blankenship is a businessman, jenkins a congressman from the lower part of the state and patrick morrissey probably the first republican to be the attorney general in west virginia in 70 or 80 years. polling so far this is what we see. jenkins with a slight lead over morrissey. blankenship in third place. interesting undecided at 24%. the national journal is with me now. good morning to you. how do you score the race right now as you look at it from your perspective? >> this is as close a race as we've seen in any primary. this debate tonight will be high stakes as it gets in politics. what you just mentioned undecided is in second place. there are a lot of voters in west virginia that are just starting to tune into this primary, just beginning to make up their minds. so it's really between jenkins the congressman who has a slight advantage and the attorney general patrick morrissey. but the key event tonight will swing a lot of votes. the states couldn't be higher for these candidates. >> bill: examine this. we see now go ahead and flip it one more time. on the issues right now that we se

they are very much hoping evan jenkins or patrick morrissey will win that race because they believe oneo would be a strong candidate to take on joe manchin in the fall. in indiana, you have a three-way primary, very competitive and bitter between two republican congressman and a former state representative running as an outsider, businessman. they are running under who is the trumpiest. david: what is the nature of the primaries? is there a danger that you could wind up with a vulnerable candidate in the general? >> very much so in west virginia. that is what republicans are trying to avoid. republican operatives believe it becomes less competitive for them with don blankenship wins. joe manchin is one of the more vulnerable democratic candidates on the ballot because west virginia has been tending more conservative recently. joe donnelly also faces a primary, likely to coast to nomination. he is a top target for republicans. democrats have the windows or their back, but geography does not favor them. the president seems to have learned his lesson from past elections. this is a tweet fr
