A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. Fair to say both sides are going to claim victory in was went down tonight in ohio 12 . Yes but your speaking facts. This is a numbers game and these should not be the numbers. The winner is the winner but we will see what happens again in november in the real election, some would say. When we look what this would do to those in my party it will encourage more to come out. When you look at numbers, how many people republicans had in this constituency, this district, so many more republicans here and not just because of the republican candidate but the number of people who voted that way in the past, you have a lot of democrats, interesting to see the exit polls, it is a victory to have such a tight margin for democrats but i didnt think this would be one of the seats that would make it 22 but i said
donald trump pulling a republican candidates fat out of the fire, the president won this race for mister balderson. There is an issue, and upholding, republicans need to take this as a wakeup call, and in the midterm elections, another issue here, democrats have trouble on their hands. I imagine miss ocasiocortez will be crying into her pillow tonight because the democrat, oconnor, when you look how he ran, he ran not as a progressive but a centrist. That is a big problem for the democrats. He did because he ran is someone much more to the center, like we have seen with connor lamb in pennsylvania. Troy balderson the gop nominee, getting ready to take to the
mike in ohio 12, the district where the president and Vice President to campaign for him, he remains ahead, what would trigger a recount, we are not in the results. I am honored for the opportunity to represent the voters of the 12th congressional district. So many to people to thank tonight, joshua chelsea. My girlfriend, melanie. I want to thank god. More importantly my mom and dad who could not be here this evening. Thousands and thousands of volunteers. Thank you very much. For all you have done. All of them, it has been phenomenal, a great honor to me. I want to thank donald trump. And i want to thank mike pence for coming. The big shoes i will be filling. I wouldnt have gotten through a lot without him through this process, congressman pat t berry. I would like to take this opportunity to also thank chairman steve stivers, a great asset to me, held through this process, thank you. And many others. It keeps going on and on. But tonight im going to promise you that im going to work relentlessly for this 12th congressional district. America is on the right path and we are going to keep it going that way. Time to get to work. Over the next three months i will do everything i can to make America Great again so that when we come back here in november, we got to come back here in november. I have earned your vote for a second time. Danny oconnor ran a hard race
and i look forward to campaigning against him again this fall. Thank you also much, all your support, God Bless You and god bless america. Enthusiasm as it appears for now a squeaker of a win for the gop contender, balderson sounding victorious, too close to call, there are provisional ballots but he is claiming victory. Ed henry is here to explain where we stand. The rnc put out a statement declaring victory. The Republican National committee saying this is proof the socalled blue wave is just a ripple but there is hesitation to make sure everything is counted, make sure they have all the provisional ballots and the actual votes today, 100 in. Troy balderson, the republican
you just saw, winning by 1754 votes. That is a wider margin we had seen an hour or so ago. At one point these two candidates were separated by 150 votes, so 1754 vote lead is massive for Troy Balderson in the context of how close this race is. One thing that has not been noted a lot, joe manchin got 1127 votes, not enough to tip the balance but without the Green Party Candidate and those votes on the left the democratic candidate would have been even closer. There might be some frustration when you talk about socialists and others pulling the party to the left, the Green Party Candidate ended up making this more interesting. Without the Green Party Candidate this would have been even tighter. May have put it within the mandatory recount margin, 0. 5. Inside the margin, publicly funded but outside that the loser would have to if they win their money is refunded. With the margin of 1700 votes by our calculation that puts balderson up by 0. 9 Percentage Points. It would be a bigger margin than the smaller advantage of points meaning of the Green Party Candidate had not been in here this likely would have been within the 0. 5 needing a recount. Barring whatever votes we have we will see what happens. It is outside the threshold. Shannon back to our panel. Work really hard. If donald trump is popular in your district, and we head toward the midterm elections. And in suburban areas, these are difficult support the president , traditional republican policies. It is a tough act to pull off. The talk about the resistance in the left and frustration and anger, and there is an enthusiasm gap. Look at the turn out numbers, a lot of people showed up, donald trump made the difference in the
last minute but he cant be everywhere. He cant be everywhere all the time. Candidates have to find a reason to sales of the Democratic Socialist Movement with enthusiastic turnout on the left. A number of democrats in Party Leadership say dont pin your hopes on her. It works like donald trump may not work in all districts. What works in the bronx, you
see candidates like this, you see that on the right as well. People who are more moderate, and the same is on the left. Im not surprised some of the far left leaning socialists factions of the Democrat Party arent working in flyover states and not as successful, they do work better in a more diverse multicultural, heavy minority district, and millennials. And other states as well. Establishment republicans, get on board, stop trying to sabotage donald trump, he is the president , time to get on board. As far as democrats go
socialists, you have ocasiocortez in kansas trying to convert them to socialism, you have a better shot of converting them to vegetarianism out there. These other states, thank you very much, stick around as we check on other things, there are other primaries tonight. The gop gubernatorial primary, the president did endorse controversial Secretary Of State chris kobach force. Dan springer is live. Reporter could be a long night in topeka. The race for the republican nomination for governor has been close all night long and the endorsement by donald trump could end up being an important factor. The latest numbers with 67 of
the precincts reporting, 40. 8 , kobach with 1000 votes separating them. Of returns had kobach trailing by 5 , they were cast for the trump endorsement. When todays vote started coming and he surged ahead for a short time and he is trailing by 1000 votes. He is extremely antiillegal immigration, facing unsubstantiated claims about the number of nonus citizens, he led the Voter Fraud Task force before it was disbanded with no conclusion was governor collier erased his profile even though he occupies the job he is running for right now. A razor thin margin. We will be here and the winner at some point. Dan springer in kansas. And Army Combat Veteran who got a president ial endorsement, with democratic senator, mike towbin is live in detroit. John james as we just mentioned, iraq war veteran. Michigan businessman, he is running away with that, he faces the biggest fight, 3 term incumbent senator debbie stab a no stabenow has a Comfortable Lead in the polls and more money. They say she failed the people of michigan but her time is up, she faces the fight of her life. Debbie stabenow has turned
her back in michigan, whether you are talking about suburbs, she failed all of it. It pits whites against back black paps, less against whites, we are all americans.

Credibility problems for Robert Muellers star witness who to the government about wrongdoing, now he is admitting he stole money from his former boss, Paul Manafort and stole something from the Trump Inaugural Committee raising questions whether muellers team can sway the jury in a case that has nothing to do with conclusion in the 2016 campaign. And bringing the Trump Campaign to the case, gates admitted he had a next her marital affair, insisted embezzling from manafort, and fake invoices for luxury clothing shops and landscapers to cover up shady transactions. Manafort was hammering gates declaring after all these lives and fraud you committed you
expect the jury to believe you . Im here to tell the truth and take responsibility for my actions. He may have submitted improper expenses to the 2017 inaugural committee to testify when working for that, manafort asked to consider nomination as secretary of the army for chicago banker who happened to have been given him a big loan but the banker never got the appointment so there was no wrongdoing by the trump camp. Anthony scaramucci said the case has no evidence the president did anything wrong. It is not a tidy case, but i dont think they did anything to implicate the president , these activities were happening well before they joined the Trump Campaign so hopefully this will get resolved. Reporter he submitted improper expenses but did not go into detail about that, facing a

There could still be provisional ballots in the mix. It is before the race is certified by the Secretary Of State but for now balderson is in the lead. Kristin fisher covering this race from columbus at gop candidate headquarters, so that optimistic. Is he claiming victory . Reporter absolutely. If you ask anybody in this room
who will won this race, it is not too close to call. They will say balderson won out right. The Associated Press technically has not called this race but you heard balderson himself claim victory and donald trump went on twitter and says Troy Balderson has won the race and he took credit for it, donald trump came on saturday to rally his supporters to remind them a vote for balderson is a vote for his agenda. This race really was as much a referendum on donald trump as it was on Troy Balderson. If he had lost this race it would have been an epic upset for republicans heading into the midterms. They held onto the seat for nearly four decades but in the end Troy Balderson it appears will squeak out a win. This is a sign that when the republican establishment and the entire Republican Party comes together they are able to hold back this wave many are predicting heading into the midterms. Donald trump, mike pence and paul ryan and republican Governor John Kasich come here and back balderson. They dont exactly see eye to eye, they dont like each other all that much. This is a sign when the Republican Party coalesces they are able to get a win when they need it. These two have to keep campaigning because they are facing off in a november election. Isnt that the most wild thing . It is a 3 month term and he even said that in his speech over the next 3 months. Maybe back out to ohio if this kicks up again for the fall. Thank you very much. Democrat darling senator Elizabeth Warren positioning herself to run for president in 2020 taking another step to the left it appears to be attacking americas criminal Justice System. Chris gallagher does in fact checking. Reporter at the time Elizabeth Ward was participating in a q a session in new orleans, the massachusetts senator talked about what she said were disproportionate arrests of africanamericans for petty drug possession. The criminal Justice System is racist. Front to back. Reporter political analysts say warren is prepping for president ial run and trying to forge ties beyond her largely white Political Base in massachusetts but the National Reviews rich lowry called warren out for what he called lies about the Justice System quoting the contention that us Law Enforcement is a product of racial hatred is a paranoid lie from top to bottom, beginning to end, front to back. Lowry cited numbers showing africanamericans are arrested for more than petty drug crime saying blacks account for 50 of homicides and police are not just making up these crimes. Beth lindstrom, the republican running for warrens seat, apologizing for her comments, words like this are polarizing and divisive and used for personal political gain for 2020 without regard for how they sound to the many good people in massachusetts and around the country who are tasked with criminals keeping us safe, administering justice.

The third action for Childhood Arrivals Program in a state of legal limbo tomorrow, the Texas Attorney general will take the case to Federal Court room and a fight to end the Obama Era Program to grant amnesty to Illegal Immigrants who entered the country as children for good. Texas attorney general ken paxton with us, youre staying up late, thanks for being with us. On a different track i want to read something from the federal judge, we reported here, ruled against the administrations attempt to get rid of daca, the court holds if dhs wishes to rescind the program it must give a rational explanation for its decision, the assertion that the prior policy is illegal, that president obama didnt have the authority accompanied by a hodgepodge of illogical policy assertions, will not do. He says the administration hasnt done a good enough job, what is the deal tomorrow . President obama had no authority to change the law, admitted he didnt have the authority, similar case like this a couple years ago we took to the Supreme Court and won. We are going to make the same argument, unconstitutional action by president obama and
should be vacated and set aside. Shannon very simply daca is constitutional, deal with it. It is unconstitutional but they need to set this aside and if something needs to be done it needs to be done by congress. Policy decisions need to be vetted with all our representatives, a decision by the entire congress, that is not the way the system was set up by our founders. Shannon three judges say it is constitutional, at least the attempt to get rid of it, why are three federal judges come down on that side. I dont agree with their reasoning, Doesnt Make Sense that donald trump cannot undo an Executive Order done by a predecessor. And not talking about the decision, but going back shannon the daca recipient who said Jeff Sessions pulling back on these rulings, the attorney general can say he is a polling rule of law when he wants but conveniently forgets, the Supreme Court will decide whether termination of daca illegal but no one can convince that doing so is just. Just or legal. How does this decision get made . If we allow the president to make law those exceptions will continue, do people want donald from making law . That is not the way the system was set up, they distrusted power in the hands of one person. And federal judges change law which is what they try to do, nor should president obama, this is about what our founders believed which was spreading power around, letting elected representatives make the decision. Not one person. Shannon are you asking for a nationwide injunction . Not initially. The whole order be set aside. And no longer exists. Shannon theres a split among federal judges, we have eight justices and a 44 decision leave no resolution. We will see, keep us updated on your argument tomorrow.

Democrats were hoping tonights election would be a precursor to a Progressive Wave in november. The race is too close to call. But we are getting Breaking News. Now you see there the spread is about 1700plus votes. They say 100 of districts are in but theyre telling us this additional information. 3,435 provisional ballots were cast. There were 5,048 outstanding absentee votes. None of those ballots can start to be counted until august 18th. Now then we understand it has to go through every potential county. Theyve got bipartisan groups to count and tally them up. Thats got to be done by august 24th and only then will there be an official certification. Were told at that point if there is less than. 5 Percentage Points separating the candidates, that would trigger an automatic recount. Weve got a long way to go on this race. Tonight balderson up by 1700 plus. But again thousands of votes still outstanding. This is going to be a long process it sounds like, at least a couple more weeks. Lets check in on foreign policy. So far iran is not backing down. Hall has the very latest. Protests against iran continued this week after months of unrest, as anger against the regimes corruption grew. Now the situation is near breaking. But the iranian leaders the situation is near breaking. Iranian leadership is defiant. Just hours before the latest sanctions hits, president rouhani rejected negotiations with the us despite Donald Trumps offer of talks with no preconditions. What americans are seeking is to make the iranian people hesitant about their country. Reporter since donald trump withdrew from the iran deal, the value of the iranian deal reached record lows and rouhani said he would rely on china and russia. He said negotiations were meaningless, the us would have to apologize. Translator if you stab someone and want to talk, first thing you have to do is remove the knife. Reporter in The Streets Of Tehran Opinion is torn. I believe america cannot do anything because iranians are backing each other. Reporter others are hoping the government will talk to the us.
