with 98% of the vote in. and about 5,000 votes ahead. cnn projects thad cochran will win this election. he will face the democratic challenger travis childress coming up in november. but thad cochran, the establishment republican candidate narrowly defeats chris mcdaniel in mississippi. dana bash, you're over there at thad cochran headquarters, right? i assume they're pretty excited. they're hearing the news as we're reporting it. >> they are hearing the news as we're reporting it. and they are very excited, chanting "thad." three weeks ago tonight, there was dead silence in the room. there were actually few people in the room. thad cochran himself didn't even come to address the supporters of people who went out for him on election night. now tonight it is a very, very different feel because thad cochran did what many people thought was pretty much impossible. he got not only republicans out to vote for him in this republican runoff, but clearly, based on what we have seen, based on where the votes have come from with our own eyes, but m

to stop that, the leaders needed 67 votes. caucusld's democratic had 67 members in 1964, but fewer than 40 supported cloture. in addition to the 22 southern senators leading the filibuster, several democratic senators opposed cloture on principle. and best, mansfield humphrey hoped to get 42 democrats. this meant derksen had to deliver at least 25 of his 33 republican votes to end to filibuster. theoth sides counted heads, majority leader announced cloture would be attempted in early june. you have to hit bedrock some time, he warned, you have to have a showdown. was eager to move forward but also recognize the political reality of the moment. let me pause to provide a little political context because no senate action ever takes place in a vacuum. as mansfield announced his plans for a cloture vote, memorial day weekend was quickly approaching. members reader for a break. in the days before a mandated recess, the senate had been in session continuously since generally seven with no break longer than a weekend. even more importa

you can see with about what, 80% of the vote now in, 80%, the republican establishment, the long-termenator, thad cochran with 51%. chris mcdaniel with 49%. only about 6,269 votes you see right there separating these two, these two candidates. the tea party favorite chris mcdaniel. thad cochran, the long-term six-term republican senator from mississippi. let's bring in dana bash. she is in jackson, mississippi. this is very, very close, dana. everyone who is expecting a close race. it looks a bit closer than a lot of folks anticipate. >> that's right. the truth is nobody really knew what to expect, wolf, because this whole runoff, this primary in general has been so unusual. but particularly the runoff. but what we have been able to determine from some of the results that have been coming in are very interesting. some of the reports that i gave to you earlier today on the situation room and elsewhere, anecdotally about african-americans, democrats, traditional democrats coming out and voting for thad cochran appear to be bearing out in what we're seeing with these results. for example

supreme court gutted the voting rights act. e, justice scalia said using a lot of rights in places that had a history of denying those -- said it had become racial entitlement in this country. in a 5-4 vote, the court voted to gut the voting rights act. immediately, immediately, that same day, states that had been stymied by the voting rights act in the past, those states announced they would put into place the restrictions they had been waiting for. texas, north carolina, mississippi, they all moved to put in place restrictions on voting rights they had always wanted but had always been blocked. policies like requiring i.d. that black and hispanic voters were less likely to have, or cutting the days for early voting that were favored by black churches. something else happened after that supreme court decision that was really interesting to watch. no main stream republicans wanted to be seen as cheering too hard for what the court had done, even though it was the five republican appointed justices who made up the majority in tha

the winner will have less than 20,000 votes or so. so for that few people coming out to support you, you can become a congressman. and now he's done it 23 times, perhaps, which is an amazing record. of course, the last few years have been diminished. but he's still a formidable figure. all politics is local. another cliche people have around election time. when i went out there a couple days ago, he said the difference was going to be because this time around he was healthier. back two years ago, he had back issues that kept him sidelined. he was out there pounding the pavement, doing his thing. i went to a campaign stop, and there he was. the big smile, the big wave. it was all that stuff that seems to work and seems to put him over the top again. >> i'm wondering about that point you made of disinterest, the low turnout in these kinds of elections. and the attempts by the main competitor and rangel to sort of gin up a new base and get younger people interested. i have to play a little bit of this rap song. i just have to do it. i mus

he has 55 percent of the wrote vote. main republican rival are the these people brown spoke few minutes ago. >> i campaigned hard. i take nothing for granted. and i just have to say that california has come a long way in the last few years. >> if so governor brown expected to win reelection. let's move to the lieutenant governor race incumbent former san francisco mayor newsom running for reelection as wechlt he appears to be on his way to the november run off. he has 50% of the vote. ron has 23 percent and david fenn has anyone percent of the vote. incumbent newsom with half the vote tonight as we expected from the polling. one of the biggest bay area race san jose mayor. there are 8 names on the ballot. the top 2 will advance to likely november run off to replace term out mayor reid. at this moment cortez has 34 percent of the vote. riccardo has 25% of the vote. only 2% of the precinct are reporting so still very early on. but again the top 2 vote getters will advance to the run off election in november. madison has 23

the right to vote in the constitution nearly 100 years to vote. had to pass nearly impossible literacy tests. they had to pay annual poll taxes out of reach for many. and the state disenfranchised those convicted of certain crimes, crimes chosen because they were considered to be those most likely to be committed by aft african-americans. civil rights workers had been trying to chip away at this disenfranchisement through the early 1960s. they were led by a civil rights legend. and they met with great resi resistance. activists were murdered for their efforts. but slowly activists were drawing the national spotlight towards mississippi. cue freedom summer. 50 years ago when 1,000 volunteers, many of them white northern college students, converged on mississippi to help black voters overcome those obstacles and register to vote, they were largely unsuccessful. although 17,000 people attempted to register to vote only 1,600 were actually added to voter roles. from freedom summer did was prove a crucial point that literacy tests and l poll taxes were

some reporters say we may hear the vote by 2:45. we will take you to the news conference earlier today. she talked a little bit about the gop elections and about the comments the president would make later, and did make at about 1:15 on iraq. >> good morning. everyone rested up after the ballgame last night? congratulations to sportsmanship. yesterday we appointed conferees to vote on the veterans bill, the various veterans bills, the senate bill and the two house bills. chairman jeff miller's bill. as we go to conference, it would probably have been cleaner if we could have just taken up the senate bill, sent it to the president, and gone down that path. the conference does afford us the opportunity, though, to make clear as we would on the debate in any event, that while we need some emergency assistance for health care, for our veterans, access to health care, we have to be very careful when we go down this path that is not one that leads to outsourcing in the long term of health care for our veterans or even more ominously to pri

every other time since then, the state has voted republican. but now republican senator thad cochran has trotted out basically the democratic playbook from 1976 as he faces this challenge from tea party republican chris mcdaniel. mr. mcdaniel has built himself as the guy who will turn off the federal spigot to mississippi. in february, he told a mississippi college crowd "i'm not going to do anything for you. i'm going to get the government off your back then i'm going to let you do it for yourself." mississippi has had some fairly recent experience with calling for and getting government help. in 2005, hurricane katrina erased whole swaths, whole towns off the state's gulf coast. and state republicans did everything they could to get federal disaster relief in motion. they have campaigned on how much help they got for the state ever since. but this year, when politico.com asked chris mcdaniel whether he would have voted for that funding after katrina to help mississippi, he said he could not say for certain. he said "i would have to see the det

end of the day, it's going to be a base republican vote, about 12% of the people are going to vote. all number of people, probably 150,000 folks. that's going to name the next senator of mississippi. >> all right. well, hold on a second. i want to keep the whole panel here. when we come back, hip-hop, you don't stop. charlie rangel's bid for a 23rd time in congress. that's coming up. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart

but enhancing the vote. >> enhancing the vote says the man who desperatelyants to be the face of the republican party come 2016. joining me now is emily bass lon and jamel bu we. my question to you, can rand paul get away with pushing more sort of equitiable voting policy at the same time that the rest of his party is literally trying to disenfranchise hundreds and thousands if not millions of voters in this country? >> i think he can definitely do it. there's nothing stopping him from making this appeal and hope he continues to make this appeal. i've written before about the really terrible effect that laws have on communities and individuals. i'm glad to see paul sort of take up this cause because it really is a disgrace that we have close to 6 million americans who can't vote because of prior convictions and felonies. with that said, for this to really be something that helps the republican party and not just makes rand paul look like a good dude, he has to have other republicans on a side joining with him. and while here and there there have been. in my

there is no right more fundamental than the existence than the right to vote. >> the current voting rights protecting the right of all americans to vote upon. >> the provisions that remain in effect, today are simply not enough. >> every eligible american is entitled. no voter should have their vote denied, infringed. >> nina turner, candidate for ohio secretary of state. senator, good to have you with us tonight. well, it's been one year after the fact, the supreme court make the decision. what is the state of voting rights in your state. it seems to me that a lot of these states that are run by conservatives now have taken the license to just go after -- go after the voting rights across the board any way they possibly can. it's a year after the decision is ohio better because of it? >> no, actually and voters in ohio have less access than they did before. and although the entire state of ohio, certainly ohio was not under that portion of the voting rights act is very, very clear that the voting rights act was one of the greatest pieces of legislative policy in the 20th century in americ

the top two vote getters. in the south bay representative mike honda is facing a serious and well funded challenge from the fellow democrat. you have probably seen the ads on television. honda is well in the lead, but likely will face kana head to head in november because of the results there today as the returns come in in that race. now to the east bay one of the most expensive political races in california. the o ri nda vice mayor is running for state assembly in district 16. he is facing off against the mayor. we are looking at direct 16. katherine baker has 26% of the vote. glacier with 24% of the vote. our coverage continues on our website, abc7news.com and you can find results for every county. >> six people in san jose have been forced from their homes because of a fire. video from the fire department shows smoke pouring out of the duplex near wilshire boulevard. it took firefighters 19 minutes to put out the flames. they made quick work. however it appears four cats did not make it out alive, but no pe

nobody really wants to be on the record voting to authorize force or voting not to authorize force. it's a sticky place to be. nobody knows how this thing is going to work out. which side of it do you want to be on? as the president came out today and said what he wants to do, said what he thinks the stakes are, said what his principles are in approaching something like this, the president did his part and then rightfully and specifically and repeatedly said he will consult with congress when it comes to using force. congress, meanwhile, is running in the other direction saying, no, no thanks, you just do your thing. article 1 section 8 be damned. that part of the constitution, eh. profiles in courage this isn't so far. joining us now, john stanton, washington, d.c., bureau chief at buzzfeed. mr. stanton, thank you for being with us. >> good to be here. >> the hawks in d.c. and think tank ville have been screaming for a new war in iraq and boots on the ground and all the rest of it. president obama is pledging today no boots on the ground other than these small numbers of advisers. i

the cloture vote was the most critical vote. if they could get that, the bill was going to pass. andy, you were in the galleries for the vote. roger, you are outside reporting on it. can you describe the atmosphere and some of the events that took place during the vote? >> i recall the night before the cloture vote, i had dinner at the monaco which had just opened with hubert humphrey. he was still worried. he knew he had 65 or something but needed 67. haydent a deal with carl who was by then in his 90's that he would vote for cloture if it vote.e 67 vote -- 67th at the end, he did not. roger and i were talking about this before the session. july ofgle, who died in was year of brain cancer, actually wheeled into the chamber when his name was called , senator engel. it was so dramatic because he had this navy corpsman pushing the wheelchair. the clerk repeated his name again, senator engel. we were watching. he could not talk. ,ery slowly raised his hand moved it to his right eye. i think it was senator mansfield who said to the presiding officer, the senator has indicated his sup

the right to vote for negroes, talk about the right to vote for everybody. >> he had another marvelous thing the weekend the bill was signed. he called john connally and said don't talk about enforcing it, that makes people's hack he wills go up, talk about obeying it. >> and the meat of the coconut. that was one of his great metaphors. lbj had these incredible metaphors, the meat in the coconut. that's what the voting rights act would be. >> and i would like you to contrast president kennedy's relationship with dr. king. it was said they had a prickly relationship that kennedy thought he was preachy and starchy and they didn't relate at the point of human discourse. it seems that it might have served them well in a way. >> it's just being southern. [laughter] >> is that earth thinkness? [laughter] >> president kennedy as you say really did not understand the south or our race. and president johnson understood it all too well. and dr. king would say when i talk to president kennedy he asked questions for an hour, but when i go to see president johnson he talks for an hour. [laughter] h

the true the vote group, the one that makes you want to feel like there's a cop in your rearview mirror while they're voting said, quote, they decided to take a closer look in mississippi because of the acknowledged effort of cochran operatives to mobilize a crossover vote among traditionally democrat voters. traditionally democrat voters in mississippi would mean black voters. the head of the senate conservatives fund is now ken cuccinelli. you remember him. the cucc. you remember him from virginia politics and losing the governor's race there. ken cuccinelli tells "the new york times" his group is funding this poll watching effort in black districts in mississippi because, quote, we're going to lay eyes on cochran's effort to bring democrats in. and the conservative media is doing everything they can to help. the headline at the breitbart right wing website. look. it's illegal for democrats to vote in the mississippi primary tomorrow. it's illegal. no, it is not. it's definitely not illegal for anybody to vote in the mississippi primary tomorrow unless they cast a democratic vote in t

a year later, the voting rights act. >> history reflexive lot of ambiguity -- history reflexive lot of ambiguity. the nation has made substantial progress in numerous ways. that has come about from many reasons. the civil rights act, first and foremost, but the government did play a role in that. on the other hand, there are instances where the federal government stood on the side -- the federal government condoned it and turned a blind eye to it and the struggles continue. we continue today to debate and struggle over the proper role of government on questions of race and employment opportunities, education, issues of law enforcement and other areas. it would be a mistake to believe that somehow the 1964 civil rights act solve these problems. the civil rights struggle continues. >> johnson's legacy is tensed by the vietnam -- tinged by the vietnam war. are you and others revisiting the johnson presidency? >> yes. that is an emerging trend. for so long, scholars did not seem to want to remember lyndon johnson because of the painful memories evoked by the vietnam war. as society continu

the top two vote getters. south bay representative mike honda is facing a serious and well funded challenge from the fellow democrat. you have probably seen the ads on television. honda is well in the lead, but likely will face kana head to head in november because of the results there today as the returns come in in that race. now to the east bay one of the most expensive political races in california. the o ri nda vice mayor is running for state assembly in district 16. he is facing off against the mayor. we are looking at direct 16. katherine baker has 26% of the vote. glacier with 24% of the vote. our coverage continues on our website, abc7news.com and you can find results for every county. >> six people in san jose have been forced from their homes because of a fire. video from the fire department shows smoke pouring out of the duplex near wilshire boulevard. it took firefighters 19 minutes to put out the flames. they made quick work. however it appears four cats did not make it out alive, but no people w

coattails that will reach all the way to mississippi. today's vote will be a true test of what's more powerful, anti-establishment anger or senator thad cochran's muscular get out the vote machine. >> on these turn out days, turn out is important especially on these special elections is there a sense of how things, how people are fired up about this race? >> reporter: we got a sense at least looking at one particular precinct in ridgeland north of jackson the turn out was more brisk today than it was back on june 3rd. as well the secretary of state reports more absentee ballots were requested prior to the runoff than prior to the primary but we won't know the exact numbers until the votes are counted late tonight. >> we'll check in later. in oklahoma, senator tom coburn's decision to retire early set off a scrambled to find a replacement and a backlash against a tried and true tactic. chief political correspondent carl cameron is in oklahoma city tonight watching a special election for a coveted job.

>> and we talked about the south, a region where if you are from it, you vote, we come back to the topicvote suppression. here we are again, 100 years after the jim crow. is if we stop there, we have known how to deal with massive vote suppression, registration. the purpose of the report is to show people that state-by-state we can actually unleash democracy, and get to a place where that dormant moral majority of working-class whites and voters of color, who really come at the end of the day, when you listen, are concerned about the same basic kitchen table issues, making sure the kids can get a good education, making sure that people, their neighbors have access to good jobs. we actually now can unleash that majority throughout the south by bringing together voters of color and working-class right -- working-class whites if we choose, and all we have to do is do a we did 50 years ago in freedom summer and years after in the black community, but do it, in today's south, which is not just black-and-white, but brown, yellow, red, and sign up folks with the intention of empowering them so

the total reb vote in this primary was over 50%. democrats might have to spend a lot more money in california saving seats rather than targeting seats. >> turning back to the big story of the morning, the expected runoff in the mississippi senate race. how much effort will the republican party establishment in the magnolia state put towards making sure chris mcdaniel does not become the nominee. joe, we expect to have three more weeks of this. am i wrong to consider chris mcdaniel the favorite at this point? >> you know, to be honest, i think that this runoff is going to energize people on both sides. i mean, yesterday, as you can imagine, hi people coming up to me skmeeg what i thought about the race and a lot of people that were pro-cochran, you know, said stuff to me like, well, what do you at this it will be 70/40. 60 on the mcdanielside, they're obviously already energized. i don't know if in end it will be a wash but i think it will be a gift for both republicans and democrats. >> people are excited about what we can all agree

he passed the civil rights act in the voting rights act. t are you going to bite the hand that is fed us? you can't anger, you can't get on the wrong side of the president who is our friend. so these black leaders came after him even in a way that the white establishment did not. everybody piled on dr. king. we all know 50 years later he was right about the war in vietnam. robert mcnamara, defense secretary at the time told a book before he died telling how wrong he was. it's amazing to me 50 years after the voting rights act and the civil rights act, how courageous lyndon johnson was. he doesn't get the credit he deserves for the good that he did do. on the vietnam front he was going wrong. we recognize that now all these years later. johnson doesn't have a whole day. king does. johnson doesn't have a monument. king does. we see was right 50 years later by king paid a serious price for that. last year of his life he was drinking a little heavier. smoking a little heavier. he couldn't stop the habit, kind of like barack obama. but his life i

party you want and you can do this by simply changing the law at the state level vote for the party you want and if the green party gets ten percent of the vote we're going to send ten percent of the people from the green party to go to washington d.c. and if the libertarian party gets five percent of the vote we're going to send five percent libertarian so that can be done another way to do is with something call instead of voting instant voting or some is call rank preference voting which is what they call in australia how it works in australia and it actually works in australia new zealand really really well is you vote for yourself first choice second choice third choice and to give you an actual example in two thousand i voted for i voted for ralph nader my second choice would have been al gore i thought al gore was fine but i lived in vermont and so i knew it was going to take vermont i want to green party have the votes i could if we had rank voting i could have voted for ralph nader and listed al gore as my second choice and when ralph nader didn't hit a particular threshold

in mississippi's special election runoff primary here, except the 86,000 democrats who voted in the june 3rd democratic primary. and basically cochran is trying to tap into all of those folks to say, hey, listen, i can take care of bringing federal spending back to mississippi. and it is so interesting to see this battle, because on the other side, state senator chris mcdaniel is saying, we don't need more federal spending, we need less. he's obviously the tea party favorite. >> explain to us why this is the republican primary runoff. i mean, normally not the lead story on the fox news channel at 9:00 p.m., even on an election primary night. why is it tonight? >> because i'm a big nerd and you want to indulge me. that's probably not why. >> that's the secret undercurrent of everything. >> no, the reality is. this is a big deal, because it never happens, and you never get to this point. you seldom get to this point. over the last 30 years, there have only been six senate incumbents period who lost. and only one, that was in 2012 that really lost outright. >> what you're saying

the first time they voted against the overwhelmingly and the second time after the crash they voted against it still, not by as much. after that night -- asked to night,ght -- as to that in 2008, about every other weekend after the markets close on a friday, i would get a call from paulson. we have this problem and that problem. iny had credibility particular because they were not telling us of this until lehman brothers went bankrupt. i think they try to save lh ehman. i do believe they were honestly surprised by the depths of the reaction. we all said, this can be as bad as the great depression. it could've been worse in this meltdown. during the great depression, you still had granularity in the world. it wasn't affected. by two dozen eight, we were on one financial grid and the whole thing -- by 2008, we were on one financial grid and the whole thing was grinding to a halt. it didn't occur to us to say no. theulati--hing about initiative and a time like that is inevitably with the exception. we had two choices. either say no or say yes with modifications. there was no option of that. >>
