speaker. at home we re watching a major test of former president trump s influence over the republican party. in the five states where voters are headed to the polls today to vote in primary elections, all eyes will be on the slate of candidates who the former president endorsed and have embraced the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen. will that message resonate with republican primary voters? today will also be a big test for these three house republicans who were among the ten who voted to impeach the former president. will they survive after taking a critical stand? one of today s biggest tests will happen in kansas where abortion rights are on the ballot for the first time since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. we ll have the latest into the massive implications of that vote. let s get right into it with nbc s steve kornacki at the big board. steve, what are you looking for this morning? a couple things, jose, you touched on. i think this referendum in

new details on the company that the governor hired to transport unsuspecting migrants across the country, and its links to other top republicans. plus, how pleading the fifth and his fraud case could doom the disgraced ex president. the astonishing scenes of protests in iran. all in, starting right now. good evening, from new york, i m chris hayes. republicans unveiled their agenda, if you can call it that, if they retake the house this november. before we get to that, the most revealing preview on what it comes to look like, came earlier this week. that is what the overwhelming majority of the house republican conference voted against a law, that would clarify the language of the electoral count act. that is a somewhat obscure piece of legislation for the 19th century, governing how presidents are elected, and how members of congress can object to electors. this would just fix part of it to, explicitly, state what was obvious. that a sitting president, and his supporters i

being here with us tonight. the remember when donald trump and his allies were very, very concerned about the mishandling of classified information? it was the thing they cared about almost more than anything else. much of trump s presidential campaign was premised on the idea that his opponent could not be trusted, because she mishandled classified information. in fact, trump s campaign was so concerned about the proper handling of government documents, they believed hillary clinton should go to jail. if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. it s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. because he would be in jail. should hillary clinton be in jail? yes or no, mayor giuliani? you know her. you are a prosecutor. if i did what she did, i would be in jail. if i did a tent a tenth of what she did, i would be in jail today.
