because they thought, this is the area where we can work in a bipartisan way. but that was a political death sentence for mckinley, one of the main reasons, but certainly there were others. i have to tell you, given all the commentary about partisan stalemate, the irritation in the electorate about things not getting done, if bipartisanship becomes a political liability, i don t know what that bodes for the future of democracy, frankly. there must be other ways to counteract it. dana bash, john king, stay close. coming up, new details emerging from the alabama fugitive manhunt that ended yesterday dramatically in indiana. everyone is talking about this case across the country. back in a moment with the sheriff who knows this case best. your turn. (driver 2) nope, i think it s your turn. (driver 1) i appreciate you so much, thank you so much. go. (d(driver 2) i appreciate your appreciation. it fills me.

while he was in prison. his whole confession was probably a ploy so this escape could take place. the fact that she sold her house, got $96,000 in cash, which only $29,000 was left when they were caught, bought the cars under an alias, got wigs, bought him a change of clothes, this was a long term plan. i think the big question we have at this point, laura, is what was the end game. how does this end? was it always going to end in a shootout? or did they think they were going to get to canada, did they have a safe house? i think these interviews will reveal a lot once we find out what casey white has to say. something she said, and i want to turn to you, greg, on this, the prosecutor in me, when i hear a statement that perhaps the confession to the crime to which he will have a trial involving the murder of another woman, that maybe that was not a true confession or one that was
project representative alex mooney has defeated representative david mckinley in the gop primary in west virginia s 2nd congressional district. representative mooney had the endorsement of former president trump. dana, what does this tell about you the fact that a trump-endorsed candidate, yet another one, has now become a primary victor? that is the trump endorsement matters a lot in places like west virginia, where the trump brand, the trump persona, is one of the most if not the most important aspect of the gop. you ve got to remember that west virginia is the place where donald trump did the best except for wyoming. so he had an enormous, enormous lead at the end, after election day 2020, over joe biden.
seriously considered endorsing candidates with allegations of misconduct against them. that s just how he operates. he doesn t view those things as particularly important. and this will be a test on whether or not voters in nebraska agree. i think trump himself has been able to blow past a lot of things like this, controversies of all kinds, because republican voters give him the benefit of the doubt. it s just not as clear whether that will be extended to someone whose name is not actually trump. and that s part of what we are going to be testing tonight with this election in nebraska, how much does it really matter to rank and file voters in some of these races. let s say ohio, for example, the most recent one, trump s candidate won, but, you know, a race in which you had multiple other candidates who got plenty
one of the people that donald trump is endorsing in nebraska has allegations of misconduct against him. this is kind of a little bit more familiar in recent modern american political times about the idea of testing the morality, for example, of a particular party. the republicans, i know, used to be the party of moral values. then you ve got this person, charles herbster, who is backed by trump, trump explaining away the behavior or dismissive of it. what does this tell you about the impact between this, particularly, we re talking about we re not really out of the me too era, the allegations of previous incumbents and the like. is this indicative of something bigger? i think first of all, trump is not one to rule out an endorsement based on allegations of misconduct really of any kind but certainly not sexual misconduct. on multiple occasions he s either endorsed a candidate with allegations against him or has
