steve bannon s fall from grace with the trump administration is sending shock waves through the 2018 election. republican candidates clamoring for his support are now actively distancing themselves. msnbc national political correspondent steve kornacki is at the big board for a break down of the fall out. so, steve, has steve bannon actually managed to unite the republican party? it s fascinating. remember just before this week what was supposed to be one of the big stories of the early part of 2018, it s going to be primary races. this is the senate battle ground map next year. the red are the republican held seats, blue the democratic held seats. what we thought was going to be one of the big stories in 2018 there would be a lot of primaries. a couple of these red states here, in nevada, arizona, maybe mississippi where bannon was going to back insurgents backing republican incumbents, backing the establishment. what are we seeing happen in some of these places as a result of this?

we were talking about a potential wave that could flip control of the senate and putting the house in play. is it possible the path is narrowing? let s look at the map before comey. this is whether it stood. the stuff in gray is where the toss ups were. in main and nebraska. we had her well over 270 with a pad. trump at 157. well, let s go ahead and look at a new battle ground map. thanks to early voting, nevada appears to be getting out of reach for trump. the early vote is going in sump a way that is good news there for clinton. today she is making new ad buys in colorado and polling 179s the idea that colorado has gotten close. the senate race has gotten close. she has gone up in mitch dpan
probably mcmullen. if you are free for going for mcmullen as donald trump for the winner in utah? hillary clinton? sure. even though i don t want my vote to be driven as an anti-this is one case where i feel like it s important. steve, donald trump if he loses this, this is not on the battle ground map. he is assuming he is going to win utah according to the campaign. if he loses this state, getting to 270 electoral votes, i don t know if it s impossible, but it will be very, very difficult. the cruel irony if he were to win every other must win state and fall short in of all places, utah. it is the most fascinating individual state story in this campaign. out there in salt lake city, thank you for that. appreciate it. it s not just the race for president that got a lot of drama in the home stretch. the battle for control of the u.s. senate. republicans trying to hold on to
