it's going to be a tough race for him, and now we know he'll be facing state auditora rosendale. he has support from club for gr, omenator ted cruz. but he was in a pretty competitive primary. we didn't know the results until late last night, early this morning, against a district judge inmontana. and that's going to be one of the key races starting in november that we'll all be paying attention to. there are ten states where democratic incumbents are seeking re-election that trump carried in 2016. that's one of those. and all of those states are going to be seeing democrats with pretty populist messages, saying that they will protect the state interests from the federal government and from kind of outside forces. and so, we're going to start seeing those messages, and a pretty conservative one from matt rosendale, prettyn. >> so, about senator tester, why is he not doing so well? >> so, i wouldn't say he's necessarily not doing very well, but the national environment is not on his side, the same way it's not on heidi heitkamp's side in north dakota or on manchin's side in west v

rosendale's low-key style showed at a victory speech with only a few dozen supporters. >> rosendale has find a way to connect with voters in montana. in the 2016 election when he ran statewide for state auditor, trump won the state by 20 points. rosendale won by 7. >> the great equalizer could be president trump. he has targeted tester in the election and would likely boost rosendale's chances with a campaign visit or two. without a single poll conducted, real clear politics has this race leaning democrat. there is a long five months to go. shannon. >> shannon: dan springer, thank you. next, to the obama administration purposely mislead congress and you to get the iran nuclear deal done? here's what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. fox 35 in richmond. police arrest a soldier who they say stolen armored personnel carrier from a national guard base. chase for more than 60 miles by police. officers couldn't stop the vehicle. it drives on tracks like a tank. they ended up escorting it, sirens blazing ahead and behind before the suspect finally stopped near

whether it is fagg a rosendale, i don't know. i will say this, what tester would like to do, this guy is a carpetbagger who was sent here by his republican overlords to come to montana -- >> shannon: overlords? >> how about puppet master. >> shannon: strong language. >> we have plenty of weeks of attack ads that are going to run out there. if you are tester, i don't know whether you are pulling for rosendale or fagg? >> shannon: let's get back to california. this is critical because democrats are hoping for a blue wave to flip the house in the ll. would make a difference to them on any number of things, some of them want to talk about impeachment, some of them say don't talk about it. what really, some of the southern california races, based on the jungle primary, two top republicans, democrats have no chance a to flip those seats. >> a simpler metric here, as peter was pointing out, this is going to be -- it's going to take a long time to get the horses back to the barn. ok, but how about this? what does democratic turnout inten

that her mother, 19-year-old dana rosendale, had died in a car accident. dana was a stranger to her. >> do you have so much as a memory of your mother's smile, or her touch? >> none. i have no memories. no voice, no nothing. i was only eight months old when it happened, so -- >> reporter: brittany was greedy for memories of this mother she'd never known. she badgered dana's older sister, aunt deb. >> so when the curious little girl asks you, the aunt, "tell me about my mother," what do you say? >> i just -- she was a -- she was a beautiful woman, you know? she loved life. >> reporter: and adored her baby girl. >> she loved that little girl to death. she was just a great, great mother. >> reporter: dana had been so young. just eighteen when she got pregnant. >> did dana ever feel sorry for herself in any way? "i'm having a baby too young, my friends are out having a life, and i'm gonna miss some of that stuff?" >> never. >> it would be natural to feel that way? >> yeah, she never felt sorry for herself. she was -- she took life head on. >> reporter: and jus

matt rosendale, as i said, the big favorite going io this, a blot of outside money from some of the big.o.p. pacs, like some of the big ones, the conservative ones, spent over $3 billion in his support. he has been endorsed by senator ted cruz, rand paul, a former state legislator. plus, has been accused of being a carpetbagger. he came here 16 years ago from maryland. he had a good career there in real estate, but he came here to run a ranch, and he's been accused of coming here just for political purposes. he ran for state legislator, he ran for state auditor, and he won that race. the only one to end a statewide race ennis g.o.p. primary. russ f is amer district court judge in a former state legislator. he bills himself as being a center right candidate who is the only person he says in the race who can beat jon tester. he is a strong on the order, he has been mailing rosendale for his opposition to the death penalty, and so right now, he is in the lead. again, probably less than half the votes have been counted. this of course is getting a lot of attention nationally because this is

rosendale will not face democratic senator in november. the vulnerable in the nation, democrats. considered the most vulnerable senators in the nation, they aim to their aggress rosendale seizing on his backgroundn maryions about his experience as a ranger. once again, if you're just joining us, at rosendale, winning a very tight primary. he will not face income it now back to our regular programming already in progress. >> blessed, because she is already in the presidency. she is all over the world hoping to represeation. tell t critters to look no further. she thinks thew solution should go in this nation. she talks about kindness and respect and in social, emotiona emotional, treatment of animals and children. she's trying to help children who feel that they need assistance, they feel that they are being bullied at school, perhaps. i traveled with the first land e babies. taking their first breath in this world. 100 babies born every day, she is committed -- >> sean: the way they have treated her is so over the top, awful. words can't e

rosendale faces an uphill climb in the general election. if only because tester's well liked.er state, if you look across the senateraces, where it's a very red state. i would not count rosendale out yet. >> that is going to be a massively expensive race in the general. republicans have a lot of attention on there. what's the most interesting races in s come the general -- is that the number-one circled for republicans? >> i would say that it is one of them. i would say west virginia, missouri, indiana, north dakota, those are all going to be heavily invested races from republicans. interestingly, one red state where democrats actually have a shot to pick up a seat would be in tennessee where the former governor is doing fairly well so far. >> democrats certainly circling nevada where they are looking to take -- >> nevada, arizona, and tennessee. the three pickup opportunities democrats need to win two and then not lose any or pick up three and lose one to take control. >> thank you very much. nice to see you this morning. >> good stuff. >> bright and early. >>> to bs quick. f

rosendale is next. the digital divide is splitting this country.ds off of too much social media and computers, and then we have parents who would only hope their children have access. middle school is a really key transition point, right. the stakes start changing. students begin to really start thinking about their futures. what i like about verizon's approach is that it's not limited to just giving kids new tools, it's really about empowering educators to teach in different ways, and exposing kids to more active forms of learning. giving technology is not a total solution. teaching technology, now that is. i'm a small business, but i have... big dreams... and big plans. so how do i make the efforts of 8 employees... feel like 50? how can i share new plans virtually? how can i download an e-file? virtual tours? zip-file? really big files? in seconds, not minutes... just like that. like everything... the answer is simple. i'll do what i've always done... dream more, dream faster, and above all... now, i'll dream gig. now more businesses, in more pl

rosendale has a lot of natial support.e appeals the tea party side of the republican party and russ fagg has a lot of state support. out: when it comes to turn for these types of events, what are we expecting in montana? guest: we saw a drop in turn out in the year 2000. they were in the 30% range. they really dropped even more during the midterm elections. saw 45% turnout but that was a presidential year. georgiou reports on policy things for nbc. thank you for your time today. guest: thank you. a few more minutes to talk about primary day in the united states. your thoughts on primaries overall, we met several talking about the democratic party. for republicans, (202) 748-8000 for democrats, for(202) 748-8002 independents. and on the line for democrats. primaries are interesting things because in georgia, the primary is an opportunity for the party to elect its candidate based on its fo georgia iss in sometimes, we get people who seem to be -- claimed to be independent, but they get to the primary, they find out they can

republicans running to take on tester, trump's number one target, montana, my pac endorsed mark rosendalef the conservatives have. it's a conservative race. and in california where the democrats have had seven or eight targets but they're kind of handicapped because of so many democrats running, they have a jungle primary, whi means the top two go. there's three or four seats they may have had a shot at but may not get anybody in the final, may get two republicans in the finals. t the end of the day, if there's two republicans run in the orange county seats, we'll do all right and we'll be on their way. lou: how about dane that rohrabacher. >> he's goa got a republican opponent. i would argue it's better to have the two republicans again in the race and i think that could very well happen. lou: there's quite a turn of fate, that the republicans by focusing one or two folks may trump those mini candidates put forward by the- they're too greedsy. >> they're too greedy. obviously they're going to split the vote up. this was an idiotic process in which the top two get to run created by arnold

. >> and every single senate candidate, including rosendale run in the key senate races are pledging support to the president. i think we're going to pick up a couple of seats in the senate. we can certainly lose the house, we don't have strong leadership. lou: what do you think the odds are, motion to vacate. will we hear that in the next week? i can't ubs why any republican wouldn't insist on removing. >> the idea that you have to spend three hours discussing anything other than goodlatte's bill -- lou: he's setting up amnesty. >> and he's lose control of it and we'll be stuck with something that the president will have to veto and he will and it won't be good for the country. lou: he says he'll veto. this is a direct challenge. these idiots on k street are playing with the country's future. they don't give a damn about the american worker, the american people, american family, our middle class and ryan is owned by them. >> most affluent part of the country right now. lou: all right. ed rollins. >> thank you. lou: great idea. thanks for being here. >> it's been there since thomas j

matt rosendale in montana.in cramer running for senate in north dakota, adam laxult in nevada for governor, really solid republican candidates. a lot of mainstrea media focus on fringe candidates like cory stewart in virginia, don't have a chance to win in those states whereas republican recruitment i believe what is turning up the volume on the turnout. braun in indiana, morrissey in west virginia, causing republican to turn out create a level of excitement doesn't typically exist when one party has all three branches of government. trish: how much does the better connie play into it? >> i think a big issue getting to the general election. if you look at extrapolations where the economy is and cross that against traditional house elections, republicans would be projected to pick up 55 seats. if you only look at president's approval rating republicans would be projected to lose 68 seats. so you have a pretty ride wang between 68 and 55. think economy becomes dominant issue in the fall. what republicans run on.
