all right, this is the big news tonight. cnn projects that vocal trump critic liz cheney has lost wyoming s gop primary. we ll go straight to cnn s jeff zeleny he s, in wyoming for us. also king at the magic wall. let s go to john first. john, liz cheney losing her primary tonight. what are the numbers? showing their showing, don, look at the numbers right here, not quite 2 to 1. but harriet hageman, the trump backed challenger to liz cheney is winning, and winning convincingly. many votes ahead, about 57% of polls reporting. you see 62 to 33, or 62 to 34 if you want to round that up for liz cheney. and you can see on the map here, mostly filling in with harriet hageman s color, the salmon color, which is what we give to trump endorsed candidates. i want to make one key point, don, education is increasingly the big dividing point in american politics. and the two counties where liz cheney is leading, albany county, it is the highest percentage of college graduates in the st
so-called red flag laws. enhanced review process for gun buyers under the age of 21. closing the boyfriend loophole. penalties for straw purchases. and clarifying the definition of firearms dealer. eva joins me now. there s a lot to unpack here but the issue is moving forward. it has the potential to become law. jim, it is. it could be consequential. we have not seen any real gun safety measures passed in decades in congress. take the boyfriend loophole, for instance. anyone deemed to have been in a serious dating relationship and convicted of a domestic violence charge would no longer be eligible to buy a gun. previous atempts to pass this have failed under the weight of pressure from the nra. there s also a red flag law provision that allows law enforcement to keep guns away from people who pose a threat to themselves or others, found by a judge. but it sounds like the states would be given the choice to opt in to be given federal dollars for this effort, doesn t seem to
