mike pence was set to lose the governor s race in 2016 before he was plucked up and his political career salvaged. now despite desperate to chase his lost relevance, pence is parachuting into races hoping someone is paying attention. it is a remarkable public split and spat between a president, former president and former vice president, who served together for four years. we should note that. our correspondents and analysts standing by to break down all the headlines. let s begin with kristen holmes in atlanta. kristen, it is a lot of races in georgia that are key, the outcome is key and you might call them bellwethers to some degree. break it all down for us. reporter: good morning, jim and erica. that s right. the big one we re watching is the one you just mentioned, this is the gubernatorial republican primary, which has become a proxy war. on one side, the maga trump election denying faction of the republican party and on the other you have that republican establishm
to overturn the election results in 2020. trump s pick, purdue, the man who is peddling trump s election fraud claims. we have a lot to unpack in this race. jeff zeleny and e vo mccann are in atlanta and also steven fouler. thank you all for joining us. jeff, trump lashed out at pence and pence took what seemed to be a vailed swipe at trump and his 2020 obsession. are georgia republicans worried about how ugly this is getting? i think georgia republicans are doing what they do on election day. that s voting for the current republican governor if you happen to be a republican and happy with the direction that the state is going. governor brian kemp is trying to do one thing here. remind georgians that because of him they have a gas tax holiday. they re not currently paying sales tax on gasoline. it makes gas one of the cheapest places in the country that he s brought economic development here to the state of georgia. he is just trying to focus on his policy and his role. the
lies. trump endorsed kemp rival, david perdue and headlined a telerally for him yesterday on the same day that former vice president mike pence stumped with kemp in georgia. when you say yes to governor brian kemp tomorrow, you will send a deafening message all across america that the republican party is the party of the future. david is the only candidate who can beat stacey abrams because i don t believe kemp can do it. he s got too many people in the republican party that will refuse to vote. they re not going to go out after what they did to two senators and to a presidential election. let s go to atlanta now. eva mckend is there. former senator david perdue is facing controversy over comments he made, not about brian kemp but the democrat to beat in this race, stacey abrams. reporter: that s right, victor, the race has been much quieter on the democratic side because stacey abrams is running unopposed but on the minds of republicans, including david perdue taking
driver s seat in the peach state against his trump backed challenger former senator david perdue and a showdown to come this fall with stacey abrams. we re in a fight for the soul of our state. we win this primary and dana: following a runoff in texas. henry cuellar is fending off a challenge with the backing of the party s progressive wing including aoc and bernie sanders. gillian: another big race is in alabama. three candidates vying for the seat vacated by richard shelby. a late surge by mo brooks is making this a close race now with three strong candidates there again a runoff could be in the cards. dana: that race is interesting to watch. team fox coverage. we re in alabama. and also texas. let s begin in atlanta yeah, georgia with mark meredith is standing by. good morning. there are a lot of notable races to watch in georgia today. perhaps the one getting the most attention the race underway right now to be georgia s republican governor nominee. incumben
prices, we re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that god willing, when it s over, we ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over. emily: john james, the president has finally said the quiet part outloud, right, that the skyrocketing prices of gas and oil is all because of his agenda. it s exactly what the democrats wanted when they killed the keystone pipeline and when they killed all the oil leases. john: this is the modern day equivalent to let them eat cake. as long as his legacy is preserved he doesn t care about your future. i m all about all the above energy strategy that is sustainable and protects american energy independence and protects american jobs but you have this green new deal lobby and the agenda that biden is pushing forward that s crushing american jobs and crushing our wallets. they have no experience in the real world and it s showing right now with their arrogant and detac
