our second hour of chris jansing reports, let s get right to it. at this hour, former president trump is taking a victory lap after his pick in kentucky s republican gubernatorial primary rolled to an easy win last night, crushing the ron desantis-backed kelly kraft by 30 points, so what s next for daniel cameron and his bid to defeat the popular democrat, andy beshear. the family of a u.s. special forces soldier now confirming he was killed trying to help ukrainian fighters. but before he entered the war zone, he spoke to our own raf sanchez. nicholas maymer explaining in his own words why he went to ukraine. that s coming up. the first black woman to serve as u.s. attorney in massachusetts is stepping down amid allegations of ethical misconduct. the move is extremely rare and comes before the results of the
13-count criminal indictment. that vote was set to happen roughly the next 24 hours, but nbc s julie tsirkin is on capitol hill. tell us what republicans are planning, and whether it could push off this vote and force members of congress to go on the record about whether or not to expel. that s a great point. speaker mccarthy and republicans are the ones who really control the floor here. even though that resolution, introduced by freshman democrat, robert garcia had procedural mechanics, the minority which democrats could force a vote on that resolution to expel george santos from congress. republicans are actually bringing up another vote before this one, which will nullify the second vote, the one that democrats want republicans to take here, and that is to push in matter to refer it to the house ethics committee. now, republicans, freshmen members of george santos s own
school, basil michael, former chair of the new york state party is here with me, let me ask you about this stuff with george santos. from a political standpoint, does that make sense because even if and we know the republicans are going to primary him. they re going to put their money and attention behind somebody else. if he s still in office, in a swing district, doesn t that help the democrats? well, first of all, if you center the voter and the constituent, you get them out of office because they re not being represented by anyone that is effective for him in the halls of congress. 78% of the district wants him gone. the democrats are right to get him out. a democrat will win that seat regardless in my view, the question is do democrats just sit back and not react to what their constituents want, number
in primaries, what does that mean, though, for the general election. will those trump ties be helpful or harmful when it comes to going up against governor beshear who has a lot of support in kentucky, who s seen the state through really tough times, seen the state through a pandemic, through natural disaster, through that tragic shooting recently where he has suffered a personal loss. he s become sort of a consoler in chief here in kentucky as well. so this is going to be a tough race for both the democrat and the republican, likely going to be an expensive one. it is going to be one to watch because it is going to be kind of a sign of things to come in 2023 for 2024, chris. dasha burns, thank you for that. president biden balancing an important foreign trip with a massive potential debt crisis back home. we re live in hiroshima at the site of the g7 summit in 60 seconds. site of the g7 summit in 60 seconds. pods handles the driving.
