in michigan's republican primary for governor tudor dixon won, the trump-endorsed former actor who has repeated false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from trump and is repeatedly criticized my next guest jocelyn benson's oversight of the michigan election. another candidate in that race who was indicted for his role in the january 6th riot is refusing to concede after finishing in fourth place. in arizona, republican primary for governor, another trump endorsed candidate is in the lead, this race remains too close to call, about 80% of the votes in. but the former tv news anchor kari lake is currently winning with 46% of the vote. lake has said she would have a, refuse to certify biden's 2020 victory in arizona should h-she been the governor and claimed last month she was quote already detecting some fraud. detecting some fraud, there is no proof of voter fraud in yesterday's primary. those are the kinds of people who triumphed yesterday. at the same time, we saw two republicans who actually did something to stand up for election integrity, after the 2020 presidential election

we know that tudor dixon, trump-endorsed governor's candidate, she won that primary. that was an incredibly chaotic primary from the start. it started with some of the front-runners being kicked off the ballot because of invalid signatures. it included a $2 million ad buy from a democratic group to influence the result of the republican race and then it included that last-minute endorsement for tudor dixon, and dixon last night turning her attention from her republican opponents, and putting it squarely on the democratic governor here, gretchen whitmer. listen to a little bit of how she framed the debate that we're going to be seeing. >> the battle lines in this race couldn't be any clearer. this is going to be an epic battle between a conservative businesswoman and mother and a far-left birthing parent and career politician. >> reporter: and here in michigan's third congressional district, democrats got the general election matchup that they wanted, that they invested in. when you saw trump-backed john meyer -- excuse me, john gibbs defeat representative pete meyer.

remember, tudor dixon was former president trumps endorsement there, she is leading big time and if youte it looks like this is her night. she will likely win this primary. it hasn't been called yet but you look at someplace like ottawa county, almost 70% of the vote there, she is leading by ten points and there are counties like this we are getting a lot of votes. this could be something that gets called pretty quickly. another race where we are seeing kind of a standout right now is in missouri, that primary. two erics were endorsed by president trump, this looks like an eric schmidt run away right now, look at all that yellow on the board. you look at someplace like buchanan county out west in missouri, there's 27-point lead about 85% of the vote in that county it looks like eric schmidt could be the winner there. let's take a look at couple other things, there are interesting house races around the five states where there are primaries tonight. one of the interesting dynamics is there are three incumbent republicans who voted for president trumps impeachments who are facing stiff pr

tudor dixon is the first up i'm speaking of in michigan for the republican party, that's a problem forocracy. if you have a two-party system and one party doesn't work, that makes it very hard to get the business done, and when you look at the landscape of some of these people, the qualifications that they are promoting should be disqualifications. kari lake, the woman that you're talking about in arizona. that is woman who for 22 years is a broadcaster at the local fox news affiliate. i will say that again, the fox news affiliate. she's seen as kind of a middle of the road broadcaster. sometimes she donates to campaigns like obama and in 2018 and 2019 and 2020 it all turns and she becomes a qanon xeer sift. last year she disavows the fourth estate and walks away from the newsroom and turns what could have been a liability among republican voters which is to say her work as a journalist into an asset by virtue of the condemnation. it's a testament to the anti-democratic norms of the gop that you captain get to the top of the ticket if you're a journalist unless you disavow the fourth e

tudor dixon backs the big lie. michigan a battleground state, governor's races even more important that the supreme court kicked the abortion issue back to the states. will the cancer of the big lie continue to spread among major republican candidates for office. will republican voters after the january 6th hearings, as we get closer to the midterm elections, will there be a snap back? michigan will be one of the places we learn that. >> arizona, a lot going on in arizona. the governor's race underscored the trump versus pence proxy battle among gop voters. what are you looking there tonight for? >> so again if you bring up the two candidates. kari lake has channelled the big lake. channelling trump literally, saying if she doesn't win this primary tonight because there's cheating. if she wins, apparently anderson, there's no cheating. if she loses, there's cheating. this is trump versus pence. karrin taylor robson is endorsed by pence. so you have the trump establishment, but arizona could, by the end of the night
