in missouri the battle of the two trump endorsed candidates called eric has been decided. and we seem to projects that missouri eric schmidt has won the republican nomination for senate, defeating the former governor eric greitens. and in washington state, the votes is still too early to call for tua publicans running for election who both voted to impeach donald trump. congresswoman jerry her rather butler s leading right now against trump endorsed candidate joe can t. and congressman dan newhouse is leading a tremendous candidate, lauren colp. steve kornacki with us all night, let s go over to the big board and see what s going on right now. i say you ve chosen to talk about arizona first. tell us what you are looking at. a bit of a potential surprise here in arizona, kerry lake, the republican backed by donald trump, former newscaster up there in arizona, had let in the polling in this race, and i think came in today as the favorite. you can see we got a lot of the vot
