now, there's bipartisan negotiations underway in the senate. goph the democrats. they're holding a zoom meeting this afternoon to come up with an agreement on a basic frame work with talks that are centered more on mental health and the red flag laws. mcconnell though was asked about the negotiations today. he remains tight lipped whether he has heard of any progress yet. >> we have a group led by senator cornyn and senator murphy on the democrat side discussing how we might be able to come together to target the problem. mental illness and school safety. we'll get back at it next week and hope to have results. >> the key words there, charles, next week, which is likely when we're -- we might see a meeting with the president as well here with congress. charles? >> charles: before i let you go, where does speaker pelosi stand right now? >> she was at an event taking questions. of course, gun legislation came up. of course democrats would love to see more expanded background checks. that would be a huge win for democrats. something that the house is

mail-in ballots could determine within the republican party, the senate gop primary there. what do we know happens next and over what period of time will we know the winner? >> reporter: hi, jim. we know that there are outstanding ballots and counties all across the state, but one of the key issues is right here in lancaster county where there were about 22,000 misprinted ballots with the wrong code on the side, so they couldn't be read by the scanning machines. this was a problem that was discovered tuesday morning, yesterday morning at 7:00 a.m. because under state law, that's when they could begin opening these ballots so they begin correcting this issue yesterday. yesterday, they were able to rescan or remark and rescan about 7,000 votes. so still about 15,000 to go. they're just getting under way here at the voting behind me. i just spoke with the election sheep here and the board of commissioners who say it could take until friday to clear the rest of the ballots, could be shorter. this problem somewhat happened a year ago, longer days and a longer ballot. these are r

but the big obstacle linking this money to covid relief is gone senate gop leader mitch mcconnell told reporters he called president biden directly and said help for ukraine must move on its own if he wants republicans to support it. >> call back about 15 minutes and agreed that we need do this ukraine only, and quick. i think we're on a path to getting that done. >> reporter: so congress can move fast when there is agreement on what they need to do. >> and we're expecting a short time, a vote on abortion rights. >> well, that's right, shep. what we're going to find out is that the bipartisanship that we've seen around ukraine breaks down when it comes to abortion there is no way the democrats are going to get the 60 votes they need in order to pass this codification of roe v. wade. and in fact they may not even get the 50 votes of all single democrats. we know senator bob casey who described himself as pro life has said he will support the bill because he says he wants to prevent a total ban on abortions. but shep, joe manchin remains the lone holdout among democratic senators. he's s

it's unclear at this point whether that ruling is going to apply to tuesday's senate gop primary race. also unclear how many undated ballots there were from tuesday. we know allegheny county reported over 200 ballots were submitted without a date on them. the secretary of state is still working to determine that figure for overall how many ballots there were. david mccormick's campaign is hoping to use this to his advantage. his lawyer sent an email to all 67 counties and said they are going to request a hearing if undated ballots are not counted. oz's team is hitting back. they're making clear they're going to oppose this legal effort. let me read you a part of the statement from oz's campaign manager. he said, unfortunately the mccormick legal team is following the democrats' playbook, a tactic that could have long-term hormful consequences for elections in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. our campaign will oppose mccormick legal team's request that election boards ignore both pennsylvania's supreme court and state election laws and accept legally rejected ballots. oz is only leadi

but senate gop leader mitch mcconnell signaled to cnn that he is open to a bipartisan solution on gunve on capitol hill to break it down for us. just how far is mcconnell willing to go? >> mitch mcconnell yesterday signaled and gave his blessing to senator john cornyn, that senior senator from texas where the horrific shooting took place, to start engaging with democratic colleagues, familily senator chris murphy of connecticut and a senator from arizona on possible gun safety legislation that they could all agree on. this is what he told to lauren fox. i have encouraged him to talk with senator murphy and cisinem and others who are interested in trying to get an out come directly related to the problem. i'm hopeful that we can come up with a booich ipartisan solutio. this could be the signal for very important talks. in the past republicans have not met democratic colleagues at the table on these issues of gun safety legislation. and now whether the scope of these discussions remains to be seen, that is a huge question mark, but still it is very important that they are now engaging a

senate primary. she's in pennsylvania. the article exclusive kathy barnett refuses to support gop nominee for senate if it is not her. kathy barnett in an interview monday morning refused to support the gop nominee for u.s. senate in pennsylvania if she does not win the nomination tuesday. breitbart -- she said she will not. she writes if you do not win tomorrow, do you intend to support the republican nominee whoever it is? in reply she said she will not support the republican nominee against the likely democrat nominee lieutenant governor john federman. it is worth noting federman is an about socialist. barnett refusing to support either dr. mama dawes or david mccormick if one of them wins instead of her essentially meaning she would be helping a socialist democrat when in the general election. minnesota, carol on the republican line, good morning. caller: good morning. i do not understand where they say inflation is only up 10%. when you go to the grocery store, it went from $.98 to three dollars. in mean has gone way up more than 10%, so why do they say 10%? host: ok. to florida, it is greg on the independent lin

stay with us. >> laura: the pennsylvania senate gop primary is inside 1%. mccormick leading dr. oz who came in with a decent lead. let's go to pittsburgh where rich edson is standing by at mccormick headquarters. a contributing analyst says that the two biggest question marks at this moment are bucks and montgomery county. odds needs solid leads there to pull pull ahead. he says that mccormick is the slight favorite. is that the feeling that you're getting? do we have edson? looks like right now it's about -- it's about .6% now. again, i guess 99% reporting. so we're going to go to bryan llenas standing by at oz's headquarters. bryan? >> yeah, laura. look, when bill was at the billboard, it was a hush silence in the room watching bill give the latest numbers. he mentioned the automatic recount in pennsylvania does kick in the difference is a half a percentage point or less. perhaps looking at that here. people are looking at the situation right now, a couple of things that we're wondering with this campaign. dave mccormick spent a lot of money attacking dr. oz. the big question

now, the senate gop primaries have not been called. ember, the entire control of the senate could hinge on pennsylvania. we currently have the 50/50 senate, the seat that is up for grabs in pennsylvania is currently represented by a republican, but it is a swing state and it went for joe biden in 2020. so the stakes here are incredibly high. and that explains why there is so much anxiety in the gop about mastriano's rise and about his potential impact on the senate race, erica. >> it is going to be a busy few months. melanie zanona, thank you. >>> we heard from whitney wild about a new warning from the department of homeland security about potential threats to the public and members of the supreme court following the leak of a draft opinion that looks to overturn roe v. wade. u.s. marshals will provide around the clock security at the homes of all nine supreme court justices. joining me now is independent senator angus king of maine, he serves on the senate intelligence and armed services committee. senator king, this homeland security

. >> reporter: the senate gop primary in pennsylvania is coming down to the wire.ehmet oz only leads david mccormack by about 1,000 votes. the consensus on the ground is this is headed towards a recount, which would be automatically triggered if the race is within .05 percentage points. both campaigns have added lawyers and experts who have experiences in recounts and david mccormack's campaign is making clear they plan to fight to have all undated ballots included in the final count. this comes after a court ruling ruled in a local pennsylvania race that all undated ballots should count from a last november election. it's unclear whether that ruling will apply to tuesday's gop primary. but dr. oz's campaign is already hitting back, saying they plan to oppose mccormack's legal effort, saying they're pulling from a democratic playbook. we have an early preview of the fight to come as both sides are gearing up for a potentially long and drawn-out battle in pennsylvania. >>> georgia holds its primaries on tuesday. the republican contest for governor is getting the mos

senate voting begins gop senate in the keystone state in just over eight hours or so, but it's still kind of anybody's race. and emmerson poll released today shows that despite having the highest unfavorable among republican voters, dr. mehmetrs oz is leading with twenty eight percent very likely voters. kat kathy barnett is second with twenty four percent. dave mccormack is close behind at 21% now most importantly. fifteen percent of likely voters still say they're undecided who now isan republican . pennsylvania's senate candidate david mccormick. dave, you have the highest favorable in this race. wait a second. can be that nice guys really finish last or if you're goingre to makent that a different stor, what are you going to close that gap if indeed that poll is correct? atlaura. >> well, listen, it's been a great day. laura , thanks for having me . ura , thanks for having me i had three big rallies today. i started in harrisburgn and thenento went on in my homen of bloomsburg where i valueoo my and my high school where i grew up. and then i had a final rally t

oz was endorsed by donald trump in the pennsylvania senate gop race. he's 1020 votes ahead.ome remaining mail-in ballots and provisional ballots. c kathy barnette in a distant third. let's look at the latest dynamics. this is the pennsylvania gop primary. the statewide absentee ballots counted so far in the far. this is why the mccormick campaign thinks it can catch up. if you look at the absentee ballots, if you're in the mccormick campaign, you're 1100 votes behind. we might be able to catch up, you think. in pittsburgh, allegheny county, again, this is where overall, mccormick leads in the vote count 39% to 32%. on the election day ballots counted, they had a problem with memory cards in the machine. they're still being counted today. mccormick 39, oz 33. you look at the numbers and think mccormick has a chance to catch up. but today oz has had a 30-vote gain in the count. let's get to the field. jeff zeleny, melanie in lan castic. the mccormick campaign says we can still catch up. the oz campaign says the clock is ticking. >> reporter: that's right. mccormick has been ch

tensions, but at the same time, you're hearing mitch mcconnell say right there that, actually, if the senate gopey could go for a federal ban at perhaps six weeks. how do you square those two things? >> i think mcconnell's comments are interesting. it signals how em boldened and you haven't had a sustained level of outcry from the democrats and you couple with the leaked draft, and emboldened i think is the best word for it because mcconnell is saying things out loud that used to be part of the federalist wish list, and now they can say that, and say, yeah, we can make that a reality. to come from him, to come from his perch i think is pretty telling. >> if you look at what's going on in the state houses, our friend peggy noonan is too optimistic about what might happen there. you have two generations of people who rose to power by becoming as extremist as they could knowing there was the backstop of roe v. wade, and so they would say, no exceptions for any reason, not for incest, not for the life of the mother, not for any reason. they have started to even outright criminalize any act of women

any indication we'll know who won the senate gop primary in pennsylvania? >> reporter: it could take several more days. pennsylvania's acting secretary of state said earlier today that by next tuesday, they'll know if the margin is small enough to trigger that automatic recount. also according to the secretary of state, only about half of pennsylvania's 67 counties were able to finish counting all of their ballots last night. that's probably having to do with mail-in ballots that by law can't be opened until 7:00 a.m. on election day. but here in lancaster, the problem was different. more than 20,000 misprinted ballots that couldn't be scanned. >> we can see the path ahead. we can see victory ahead. and it's all because of you. so thank you, pennsylvania. >> a fight to the finish the republican senate primary in pennsylvania, with thousands of votes still left to be counted. >> when it's this close, what else would you expect? everything about this campaign has been tight. >> reporter: the deadlock between david mccormick and celebrity dr. mehmet oz could t

as you said, all eyes are on that senate gop race. set to test the power of donald trump and his ability as a -- he did endorse j.d. vance. he's a political novice and surprisingly he's a former never trumper. and while this endorsement did propel vance to the top of the pack, it is by no means a done deal. you have to remember this, when vance was speaking out against trump in 2016, he was speaking out aggressively against the people who voted for him. and so when you talk to voters on the ground yesterday, they were still questioning vance's loyalty. so interesting to see what happened there. the other two candidates, josh mandel, campaigning with senator ted cruz over the weekend, he had tried to get trump's endorsement, unsuccessfully, and the other is former state senator matt dolan. dolan is interesting. he's trump friendly but did not try to get trump's endorsement and he has said it is time for the republican party to move forward from trump's lies about the election in 2020. there is some indication that dolan is gaining mome
