Candidates at the top of the ticket to cross the state, and they wouldnt have many voters come november. Republican forgovernor. Ace a that isery good n republicans out here in california. They may also have a republican in the senate race, feinstein, sheily went through as the democrat, but its unclear whether she will face Kevin De Leon on her left or jim bradley on the right, but those votes are still being democrats also had great ctation abouts picking up seats in california. The National Democrats targeting ten seats. Seven of those seats are districts that Hillary Clinton won while republicans now serve. Those were very intense where you had tons of democrats go into those race Senate Intelligence committee they split up the vote so much that it wasnt clear that democrats were going to get through in all those races. They might have one perhaps as much as three races that would only advance republicans. It looks like democrats will ge in californi ten, there re two that are close still. Theres a republican in thnumbe counting votes on that and in california, 48, Dana Rohrabachers seat hell advance to the general but theresthrew democrats and alican in that one and well see where that one goes. All of this against the backdrop of how long its going to take to get those votes counted. California, nothing is easy in california. You can mailin your mailin ballot on election day. It has to get there in three days. A lot of people drop their mailin ballots off. 118,000 people in l. A. County who were not on the rolls at all so they had to fill out paper ballots. All of that means its going to take time to count all those final votes and figure out whos who. Whos number two in california. Back to you guys. Who is number two, indeed. Thank you so much. I think miguel was up all night covering this. Lets bring in harry emton and mark preston. Let me begin with you, not a blow out for dems. Of relief this morning. Not a blue wave either. I think there are two major perhaps 50,000 foot looks at ths can the Democratic Party now come together . The great untold story because donald trump seems to suck up every bit of oxygen in the room is that the Democratic Party is very much in disarray. You have progressivesy much pushing against the middle, the more centrist part of the party and the establishment. As were heading into november, can we see the Democratic Party come together. Donald trumps still has a great influence in these elections down in alabama, for instance, last night we s that martha roark who is a republican who was very critical of donald trump after the release of the hollywood access tape, republican who should easily fail to in fact, is now going to go into a runoff against a , bobby bright, a former determine congressman. Donald trump certainly has a role and an influence in these elections in the case of bronze medal it was negative for the incumbent. The californias governor race, harry, john cox, whats your take away there . My take away is that john cox was basically an unknown candidate and antonio vil vil looked like he was going into second place. Cox sort of spiked up was because of Donald Trumps endorsement. In fact, the cox campaign apparently didnt even know it was coming and as soon as it did come, cox jumped right up into second place and is there in november. Whats the take away as other republicans are looking at that . I think the take away there and you connect it had to alabama too, is that if youre a republican, you do not want bad trump. Republican voters really love donald trump. He right now has an Approval Rating in the high 80s. Even if hes not too popular in the middle, they need to be careful. They want to reach out to independents but at the sa time they dont want to get too far away from h you lose your base. Mark, if democrats flip the seven california districts one by Hillary Clinton b currently in republican hands, theyre going to be almost a third of the way to that magic number for them which is 23 seats if they want to retake the house. Doable . Oh, no question. Im probably more bullish on this than i think most analysts are. I know that theer is shifting back towards the republican side but its absolutely doable because what wee seeing in california with the enthusiasm of the trump voters, were see that on the democratic side which ties back to the fact can the Democratic Party and the progressives types can they come together and meet at the table to try to win in november. Perhaps they may not need to based on historic analysis that democrats are likely to take back the house, but certainly i know Party Leaders are hoping they would come together. You as bullish, harry . I dont know if im quite as bullish but democrats are favored in the house in november just historically speaking, you see usually waves or mini waves in midterm elections and with the president still having an Approval Rating, its still in the low 40s that translates into a big gain for the outparty. Yes, he has low approval and its better than a three for any president in the front of that number in polling, but, you know, its still its high i guess on the trump curve if you will, harry. Yeah, its high on the trump curve but historically speaking the president s who i most associate with this Approval Rating at this point are president s like jimmy carter, president s, you know, Ronald Reagan going up into the midterm elections, even bark obama in his second term and most of those president saw their parties do quite poorly. So for me, looking at a low 40s, that may be good for trump but not good for the republican party. Mark, if youre one of these democrats in the senate trying to hold on to your seat going into the midterm elections andy last night desperately trying to read tea leaves here, what are you thinking . Couple things. Lets just look at a couple of them. John tester or joe manchin, you walk a very fine line. Joeanchin in west virginia, you know, its a republicastate dont think the voter rolls necessarily show that. It is a republican state and a reliably republican stat is service to the state running while not trying to upset the trump voters. When you go out and see whats happening with john tester, hes walking a very fine line but hes being more careful not to alienate his progressive voters. Each race is differently. I know thats cliche to say. Each race is different, though. The story of women, we talked about this going in to the primary and it played out last night. It absolutely played out. Look at the governors races. Alabama, south dakota, new mexico, iowa, women candidates for the major parties that are favored in the poll won in all four of those states. Look at the congressional races. New mexico on the democratic side. She looks like shes going to be the first native American Woman ever elected to the congress. Iowas third district, sydney was down in the polls by a point. She ends up winning by 30 percentage points, that to me is an illustration that women candidates are doing very, very well especially on the derm side this year. Thank you, both. We aciateit. A leading republican is now saying that scott pruitt is, quote, as swampy as you get. The controversies mounting against the epa chief and the l plus a white house contractor wanted for attempted murder gets arrested by the secret service just stepsway from the white house.

Keep coming from show that pruitt had won of his aids reach out to chickfila about a possibl businenity for wife. Its just the latest in a list of his actions in first travel, costly securityexpenses lobbyists that are raising just a few eyebrows. Kaitlan collins is live us at the white house andli to this. Tell usbout this, senator joni ernst, this is a republican that says this is as swampy as it gets. Reporter thats right. The problems are growing for a scandal on his plate. Scott pruitt repordly t enlist an aidt theepa to help him with a personal task, the task of securing a potential businepportuni his wied to become chickfila franchisee owner, the aide reached out to chickfila to the ceo of chickfila to set up a call between pruitt and she said it was a persol request on behalf of mr. Pruitt. This is becoming just Something Else added to the list. At opportunity never actually materialized, but its one more thing were seeing scott pruitt do here as hes und 12 federal investigations right now for a including his travel expenses, flying first class on taxpayer dollars living situation, his coziness with lobbyist, his blatant disregard for the taxpayer dollar and we seeing this pblem continue to add up where its become a running joke that he has another ethics scandal added to his list. Sarah said she hadnted it with t but they were concerns. Lawmakers are now piling on the president to do something abo scott pruitt. Joni ernst a republican issue a blistering statement about scot going after him for all of these issues saying that hes abouts swampy as you can get and it just goes t show, that this is oneesidents most powerful cabinet member. If the president wants to amp, he needs to take a look at own cabinet. That is a promise the president made when he came to washington and there does seem to be a deal of irony now. And were also learning about the white house aide, kelly sadler, who joked about senator john mccainshealth. Shes no longer working at the white house, but is it possible that she could still be working in the Trump Administration . Reporter it is and the administration has me that quite clear. As Kellyanne Conway just confirmed what cnn reported yesterday that two weeks or so the white house has been strategizing a way for her that would be right here at the white house and the executive Office Building next door where other s where sadler worked but she could still stay on in another administration and Kellyanne Conway made that quite clear with her intview with john berman. Listen to what she had to say. To be clear youre not oore r to an Administration Job because of what she said abo jn mcc pure and simple, correct . Kelly sadler has been told that there are Administration Jobs that fit with her skill set and her experience and that the rest is really her choice, what sh would like to do next. Reporter so what we are seeing here is the white house not pushing kelly sadler out because she made that crassremae was dying any way. She outed one of the Communications Director telling ercedes was leaking information about the administration. That is what led us to this point here what we are witnessi is the white house letting sadler leave the administration quily without ever having to condemn the remarks she made about john mccain. She promised megan mccain that she would do so publicly as well. Thank you so much. So joining us now is democratic con jer connelly of virginia. He sits on the oversight and fo nice to have you here, sir and good morning. Youve been incredibly outspokenou outspoken on this. You sit on house oversight. Youll hear from two key members of pruitts team as they come forth from testy, both his chiefofstaff and his former policy adviser. Were hearing republicans now more vocal on this, like senator joni ernst of iowa, who said this is as swampy as it gets and she went as far as to say its time for the president to let him go and get rid of squat. Do you see the tide turning here among republicans saying its enough . I sure hope so. I think theres pressure building on the republican side because pruitt, who may have been seen an asset because of his policy views, now clearly is going to be an albatross going into the midterm elections for republicans all across the counnd it doesnt help President Trump but do you think you think pruitt is going to hurt republicans running in the midterms i he becomes the image of the swamp creature. Its exactly the opposite of what trump promised in the campaign. This guys an original. He puts to shame many of the swamp creatures that were here when trump was elected. You know that there have been those who said its going to be too hard for us to get someone else confirmed through congress if you do choose to replace him. Let me move on to the primaries can i just say about that, though . That doesnt exc his ethical im putting it out there as one of the facts and why the president may be keeping him. Right. Right. The primaries, overnight, california in particular, yes, democrats can breathe a sigh of relief this morning and republicans certainly can in the governorace there. This was not a blue wave. Do you think that your party is still trying to really get its footing heading into the midterms . I think it was a pretty good night last night. We did what we had to do in new jersey and i and california to set ourselves up for some serious electoral is that enough to retake the house just doing what we had to do, right . I believe it sets the stage for being more than enough. I believe a wave is building. We see that all across the country. We won a special election last night that didnt get a lot of attention in a red district in kansas city. So i think it was a good night for us last night. Is there an absolute guarantee well win in november, of course not. There is no guarantee as weve learned. You have been very critical of this president. You tweeted recently that hes quote spiraling of control in regards to the russia investigation and his attacks on it. Its congress that has the check on that, right, and thats the power of impeachment. However you warn against that and say impeachment should be a last resort remedy. Do you think that your fellow democrats should be wary heading into the midterms of running too much on impeachment . Absolutely. I believe that voting for a democrat should not be seen as vote forimpeachment. If it is well lose elections we otherwise might win. Even trump voters agree in many cases that this president needs adult supervision and that means democrats and theyre willing to vote for democrats or at least entertain voting for democrats so long as we separate ourselves from the i word. In terms of jobs, overnight we learned that u. S. Steel will reopen one of their plants in illinois. Theyre going to hire 300 more workers and they specifically cite the president s tariffs, se 232 for these jobs. Does the president get credit . He may get credit in that one instance but the retaliatory measures taken by allies andtra that theyre going to put out of work a lot of americans and theyre going to hurt huge sections of the economy like agriculture. There are winners, like that one plant, but there are also going to be an awful lot of losers especially throughout the midwest. We do know about 80 times as many jobs in this country are because of imported steel and supplies that use steel than jobs creating steel in this country which is to your point. On trade, republican senator bob corker is going to propose a bill today that would tie the president s hands somewhat on trade, that it would have to go through congressional author l says noting a freestanding bill like that to the floor. Do you support that legislation . I have to take a look at the des, b i am in general supportive of that kind of legislation. I dont think any president ought to be able to unilaterally disrupt the trading patterns all across the globe because of his private personal view. There should be a Legal Process that involves both branches of government. Yesterday finally on immigration, aeraljeff sessions hewitts radio show and he was asked about the administrations policy that separates children from their parents c across the border illegally. If their parents are, you know, to be put in the justice system, prosecuted that separates the children, most of the time, heres his defense. The law requires us to keep children in a different facility than we do for adults and every time somebody, hugh, gets prosecuted in america for a cri they go to jail, theyre separated from their children. We dont want to do this at all. If people dont want to be separated from their children, they should not b them with them. You say this practice is cruel. Youre proposing legislation to prevent it. Do you have any republican support on that . Not yet. Its very hard to get republican support on anything with respect to immigration as you know thats not trueok at the dis on daca, theyre trying to force a vote. Before you said that, i was just going to say with the exception of 21 brave republicans who signedhe discharge petition, so trying to get other aspects of immigration addressed legislatily with republican support is difficult. This is an inhuman policy. This. Rican can be proud of youre breaking up families, youre scaring children, youre doing terrible pain to parents and grandparents. Theres a better way of doing this andinly separatingkids and separately i dont think is at all reflective of american values.

Fashion designer kate spades autopsy report could be released today this after police say she hung herself in an apparent suicide in her manhatta apartment. Auicide note was found in her apartment and according to authorities she addressed her daughter and her husband in that note of the cnn correspondent Brynn Gingras is in new york. She has more deta what you tell us, brynn . Reporter yeah, brianna, we mayet that autopsy report later today and that will give us the manner and cause of death. Its very likely that investigators will also send out for toxicology reports which will take much longer to get. As far as the investigation goes, theres not too much more that detectives can do. Certainly they will be talking to family members, trying to understand the circumstances that surrounded this tragic death. There was a suicide note that was left behind and in it her words were address today her daughter, whos 13 years old and her husband of 24 years and investigators will really try to get an idea of why this happened, however, we may never actually know that answer. What we know, though, is that she was a fashion icon and everyone has been talking about the impact she has made on their lives. This is an empire she started in 1993 in her new york city apartment with six d bags and then it just grew and grew. She recently sold her latest shares in 2006 of the company, were told to spend more time with her daughter who she leaves behind dieing at 55 years old. I want to point out some of the responses that weve seen through twitter, other social media. Chelsea clinton is a notable one because it says this, my grandmother gave me my fir kate spade bag when i was in college. I still have it. Im holding kates family, friends and loved ones in my heart. Thats something weve heard reiterated over and over again.

She spoke to Glamour Magazine back in 2002 and said this, quote, i hope people remember me but not as a good businesswoman and great friend but a heck of a lot of fun. Shes just a kind person.

They had to, you know, distill it and it looked like i was saying i didnt apologize and i had no intention to and i was mad at me, nonetheless, i realized, there are a lot of people that dont have any memory of that and all they saw was me mad and you seemed to be tone deaf to put it mildly. People need to know. I mean it now and then. I think we need to keep trying to do better. Bill clinton continuing his apology tour. Joining us now errol louis and caitlin hueyburns. Thank you guys for being here. A lot has been written about and debated whether or not the president is a liability for democrats running in the midterms. I just want to know where you think bill clinton stands now in u. S. Politics given how much everything around him and society has changed and being in the midst of the me too movement. Reporter absolutely. I was thinking back to just late last year when democrats pushed outl franken from the senate because they didnt want to have that liability of Sexual Harassment and assault in their midst. They wanted to claim the moral high ground issue. Bill clinton reemerging plays to the heart of what me too is, which is that all of this behavior that had gone on for so long has the country has now faced a reckoning on how we face this issue. If the president if the former president was aiming to be in cleanup mode in that interview he did really the opposite of that. He had a long runway, really, to come up with something that was at least a little bit more thoughtful, especially against the backdrop of Monica Lewinsky herself, having her own reflections about this whole entire saga that really changed the course of her life, even admitting, acknowledging that she suffered from ptsd because of this. So when youre looking at the bigger picture, i cant imagine many Democratic Candidates are going want the support of bill clinton because it is going to bring that up when theyre trying to change the course of the conversation. Its hard t see errol, where he is a benefit at this point in time. Yeah, thats exactly right. Look, he can be deployed strategically in specific places in which case he could do a great deal of good depending on the district youre talking about. Lets keep in mind, this is bill clinton helping bill clinton. The reason he was on television was not to advance the me too movement but to help sell his next book, so if he wants to be part of a National Conversation and put himself out there in a hollywood context, then all of bill clinton era come back as opposed toto, you know, for example, a tour of some of the forgotten places in the economy that were helped during the clinton years, maybe go there and help some determine candidates, not sit on National Television talking with comedians about why what you did was okay 20 years ago. Hes doing this to sell the book that he wrote with james paterson. Let me get you both on something that is striking and that is how the education secre betsy devos chose to answer a question her congressional testimony yesterday when asked about, errol, the role of guns in schools. Will your Commission Look at the role of violence. That is not part of the commissions charge, per se. I see. So you so youre studying gun violence but not concerning the of guns. Were studying School Safety and how we can assure our students are safe at school. Guns, errol, are not part of the charge of the federal School Safety commission. Except when they are because we heard secretary devos on the record talk about the possibility of teachers being armed in the clas good shes right of a very convoluted position that this administration this line this administration is trying to walk in which they are in obedience to the nr aline and at the same time shes clearly dealing with a public that is fedup with the prospect of our children beinge today this kind of violence. What you get is the kind of incoher rensi you just heard. We know watching the 60 minutes interview, shes not very good sometimes at answering questions. Its really bad, right, and thats what we saw there, the concern, of course, is that that that sort of being very bad at answering that question, how does that how does that effect how the commission is actually going to look at what a very pressing issue for people, democrats and republicans . Right. The headline coming out from that answer just that answer that exchange that you played really startling to say that guns will not be considered in a topic about School Shootings that involve guns. This administration, remember, the president tried to paint himself as someone willing to talk about gun control measures only to walk it very soon after and he gave a speech to the nra not too long ago just a few weeks ago really touting the Second Amendment, talking about his administration being the top proponent of the Second Amendment and denigrating democrats for that. So the administration this is reflective of the administrations position on this issue. So guys,elly sadler, the white house aide that made that crude joke she says it was a joke about john mccain dieing and why does his opinion matter in any of this, didnt get fired because she it. Its been a month since then. Didnt issue a public apology that was promised to his daughter now shes out of the white house, errol, but shes not according to kellyanne nway, john berman pressed her on that just this morning and it seems likeng to the g, apparently she of the white house because she got into a fight with Mercedes Schlapp and pointed to her in the oval office and said shes a leaker. What does this tell us about what matters most in the administration . There seems to be some real chaos as far as the management of the staff and these stories have continued really from day one of this administration. You compare it to the prior administration, you never heard about these antics and animosity leaking out all of the time. It seems to be a daily occurrence. The other thing it tells you, though, is that they may be trying to find their way to some rational compromise whe, you know, clearly this person doesnt belong in the white house, clearly this person shouldnt be in high level discussions where the kind of cruelty that she displayed would be deployed in decision making. People have to make a living and if she wants to be a public servant, theres got to be some where where she might be able to the publ perhaps they will find their way to some rational place, get her out of that building and into a place where she can serve the public. Errol louis, caitlin hueyburns, thank you very much. A contractor at the white house who is accused of attempted murder was arrested when he showed up for work. Joe johns here now with this. Tell us about who this is guy . What does he do at the white house and how did theret rvice get involved here . Low level administrative worker at the old executive Office Building which is the building adjacent to the white house. As you know, this is an ongoing problem for secret service and others who vet the staffers who work at secure facilities especially the white house. It does raise some questions about awareness of people who have had serious run ins with the law and when the secret service became aware of the prm, thers name is mar tis edwards, a low level. His arrest stems from shooting on may 3rd in maryland. Detectives said the shooting was domestic in nature, there was a male victim were told from Prince Georges County police in maryland. That victim transported with lifethreatening injuries. Edward faces attempted fir degree murder and assault charges. Now its the time line that is concerning. This individual certainly had the event that occurred on mayor 3rd, arrest warrant in the middle of the month and then the individual finally is taking into custody on tuesday. Some questions there for the secret service that we are reaching out now. The event may 3rd but the arrest warrant its over two weeks since this guy should have been on the radar. Recisely right. When you have contact with authorities and the case is an allegation of attempted murder thats serious. Right across the street from the west wing. Joe johns, thank you so much for that.

Intelligence officials have called that Chinese Company, huawei a Security Threat to the u. S. Marco rubio tweeted this overnight. This could be a very big problem. If it had access to social data of americans it might as well have given it directly to the government of china. Joining me now we have cnn money tech correspondent sam burke, and sam, facebook is saying theres no issue here. Theres no problem, but theyre ending the program which speaks volumes. What do you this . Absolutely. People waking up saying where is my facebook data and what facebook is saying is quite intesting and this is from a bygone era, so thephonemakers like apple and huawei, but take a look at this, brian a the details they were handing over to some of these companies about us, starting with your education and work status and political leanings and it begs the question.
