whose ex wife accused him of abuse, and schmidt is the state attorney general who joined trump s lawsuit to overturn the 2020 election. both want to be the endorsement of trump and trump taunted taunted leave decision by simply endorsing eric. it s unclear how much trumps endorsement manners matters at all. to me it s a little bit alarming because this man is no longer a former president to a lot of these people. he is like a god, he is something that they look up to and to me a lot of times maybe he isn t the best person to look up to. that doesn t mean to say that he didn t do a lot of good things, especially for the middle class community, but i think people are running a little too far with his influence. over in arizona where polls close in just two hours, trump is backing a poll of election deniers in the republican gubernatorial primary. trump went for carey lake, she has made her trump s false claims of a storm election the centerpiece of her campaign. and an extr
decision a couple of months ago, this is the first time a state is having a referendum on abortion. there s gonna be more in some other states this fall. there s gonna be more in the years to come, but this is the first one of the post-roe era. very significant, we ve seen some polling in advance of this showing this might be a tight race tonight. so there s a lot of suspense here. also the fact that it s occurring on a primary night and not during the general election, is someone i am usual for a referendum that has a little bit more of an x-factor to this in terms of who is gonna actually show up and take part in this in terms of what the ternopil look like. i ll tell you one thing we re gonna be looking for this county right here. it looks small geographically here in the map but johnson county, this is the kansas city suburbs, about a fifth of the vote or more in the entire state, about a fifth of it is gonna come out of johnson can t see. this is classic suburban bedroom community
look at the results, the no side in this referendum probably needs to be doing about ten points better that biden did in 2020. maybe a little bit less than ten. but with that would set is a benchmark and account electronic county is that when all of the votes get counted here, if the no side is let say about 60% or more, that would probably be a good side for now in terms of how it s doing statewide. more comes under 60, it s a bad sign. so it probably the best batch of votes that no is gonna get, in shawnee county, it s starting at 70%. i expect throughout the night that number is gonna come down, the question is gonna be, how far does it come down? again this is gonna be true. what i just described is gonna be true in a lot of the big counties in kansas. no it s gonna get a big boost when the first batch of votes comes and, and then it s gonna come down as the night goes on, and so the question will be, i
what fraud is their carry? this is serious. this is about you this is about arizona voters. the last person that i would tell and planets that would tell about what we discovered is you and ms nbc. so you know about a crime and you re not reporting it to authorities. i county affect elections officials as well as election officials from the secretary of state s office say that neither carry lake nor anyone in your campaign and come to her with concerns or specifics of supposed fraud here. when you look at the polling, carrie lake has been the front runner for the better part of last year. when you see the other candidate was backed by covered current governor as well as mike pence, incrementally chip away at the lead, it s gonna be up to republican voters in this first major primary after the
they wrote it for themselves. msnbc prime, i m ali velshi, thank you for joining us on this big night in american politics. five states are holding primary elections today the results from each of them will be telling in an entirely different ways. the polls have just close in michigan, and kansas. we re of course gonna have to kornacki here in just a moment,
