Three dozen governors offices around the country. That means all eyes are on the u. S. Senate. Republicans need to net six seats. Red states are already in the bag, that means republicans need to flip just three more states out of at least ten currently up for grabs. Last night candidates on both sides made their final pitches. With your help and gods will, were not going to give harry reid one more vote in the senate from the state of georgia. Were here to fight for the middle class, make sure it has an opportunity to get a great education for its children. Dont sit on the sidelines on this. The president himself said this is a referendum on his policies, his programs, his legacy. My answer to that is no, not on my watch. We can choose the iowa way and get on that path and send a new senator to washington, d. C. Whether its south georgia or north georgia, across race and geography, we know people want a clab ra tiff spirit in washington. Im not going there to represent the Democrat Pa
Good afternoon. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Well, president obama has made his choice, judge Merrick Garland nominated today for the Supreme Court. And now the pressure is on senate republicans, many of them still saying they wont even consider a nomination or a confirmation, with less than a year left in the obama presidency. I have fulfilled my constitutional duty. Now its time for the senate to do theirs. Its the senates constitutional right to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent. Action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the Election Campaign is over. Well, joining me now is nbc news justice correspondent, pete williams. Pete, thank you. Let me just ask you this, can you answer the political question, maybe its procedural, why are they not going ahead, at least with meeting all the majority members, and especially judiciary members, meeting with the nominee, perhaps holding some hearings and perhaps even holding a vote. The chances of

His rival or not his rival or interfered with american citizens email, take a listen to what he said. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Lets see if that happens. Do you have any qualms about asking a Foreign Government, russia, anybody, to interfere, to hack into a system of anybodys in this country . Let the president talk about it. Heres the problem. Katy, heres the problem. Very simple. He has no respect you said i welcome them to find those 30,000. They probably have them. Id like to have them released. Does that not give you pause . No pause. You know what gives me more pause . That a person in our government, crooked Hillary Clinton, heres what be qu
Who is the most electable president in beating donald trump. That does it for me this afternoon. Ill see you back here tomorrow. A reminder of msnbcs special coverage of todays primaries starts at 5 00 eastern with chuck todd. Full Team Coverage at 6 00 p. M. Eastern and 3 00 p. M. Pacific. My colleague chris hayes up next from santa monica. Live here in santa monica, california. Donald trump isnt backing away from his allegations of a federal judge overseeing cases involving Donald Trump University as a conflict of interest because of his mexican heritage. Mark kirk pulled his support from trump after previously supporting him. House Speaker Paul Ryan addressed trumps comments. I disavow these comments. I regret the comments he made. I dont think claiming a person cant do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. Do i believe that Hillary Clinton is going to be the answer to solving the problems . I do not. I believe we have more like

The doors opened about half an hour ago. But they are still trickling in, stephanie. For this event, 9,000 tickets were made available and they all completely sould sold out. We spoke to a cop a little while ago. I mean there are dozens of thousands of people at the donald trump even. Many have come from other st
