of a single party state. you know, the state had used to have a long tradition of democrats having a presence there, but really it boiled down to joe manchin and i think that result seems to indicate that the sort of joe manchin wing is very small and it certainly is not large enough to overcome trump s dominance in that state. but when you look at nebraska, you have the added factor here of an actual scandal, credible sexual assault allegations against herbster in the last several weeks of this campaign, and it seems that even trump can t overcome that. trump may be able to get away with a lot when it comes to those kinds of allegations, but he can t transfer that over to other candidates in a lot of cases. it is not the first time that trump has endorsed candidates who have been accused of misconduct, he did it in alabama, with roy moore, he did it in pennsylvania, prior to that his candidate chosen candidate dropping out of the race, and in this case, in nebraska, he
all happened. that s ahead. thank you for being here. let s begin with the news on the economy. good news, bad news, something in between possibly. inflation in the u.s. easing slightly in april. consumer prices rose 8.3%. lower than theri we saw in march but still very clearly painfully close to the 40 year high. today s report marks the first time the inflation rate fell in 8 months but still not good out there. sky high prices in major sectors and every aspect of life. president biden this morning called inflation unacceptably high in a statement he issued and also says inflation is now his top domestic priority as the economy faces unprecedented challenges from the supply chain to the war in ukraine. let s begin at the white house this hour. cnn s john harwood is there. john, walk us through this. reporter: well, look. inflation is president biden s top domestic priority, his top domestic problem as well. as you indicated, kate, there s good news and bad news in this re
mckinfully west virginia s congressional primary. that s no surprise for me. endorsements from former president trump is always a good thing. shocking new video shows homeless people in sceettle using public transportation as shelter. our citizens are not able to ride on public railways and enough is enough. the goat is coming to fox. tom brady agreeing to join the channel. the network, the experience. once he retires from the nfl. steve: it s a brand new day. good morning, charlotte, north carolina. this is your 6:00 a.m. eastern wake-up call. right now you have got temperatures in the 50 s. buff you are going up to 81 and live it up today because there is a chance of rain. brian: no one promises you tomorrow. ainsley: seized moment, brian. brian: any more catchphrases, ainsley? steve: there you go. charlotte, north carolina. welcome to studio m we are up here on this wednesday, may 11th, 2022, mezzanine level. good to have you aboard. once again thre
highest level in more than 40 years, but there are some signs in the report things could be turning around, at least a little. senate democrats will move to protect access to abortion, and this preliminary vote expected to fail. more from capitol hill ahead. the house also just approved $40 billion in aid to ukraine. right now ukraine says it s making progress in the northern city of kharkiv and we will go there live. but we will begin with our team covering today s inflation report, and joining us is our panelist, and stephanie, let me start with you. people are getting excited saying it s slowing and not going up as quick as it could, and it s a positive, and it is positive and just because it s not going up it s not going down. as we head into the summer and the conflict with ukraine continues we could see gas prices go back up and that s going to hurt again. people need to be ready for that. carol, the president is on his way to illinois to talk high prices. what
elections. good day. i am chuck todd in philadelphia. it is a city rich in american history and a fitting place to talk about the future of our country less than a week before some of the most important primaries on the 2022 midterm calendar. pennsylvania will be key in the midterms and key in 2024. it may have replaced ohio as the state. we spoke to voters, officials and one of the top republican senate candidates at the center of a very muddled and messy primary. today the focus is on the future of the democratic party and the message pennsylvania democrats appear to be sending is clear as an unorthodox politician appears to be pulling away in the primary. this wasn t expected to be a blowout if you will. according to one poll the lieutenant governor john fetterman is up nearly 30 points over the more moderate congressman conor lamb and malconkenyata. we have an exclusive look at the fettermans, he and his wife in a moment. the question on the minds of democrats around the
