fraud. he is backing several republican candidates who are outright 2020 election deniers. who fully enjoys the big lie,, that donald trump should somehow still be presidents. again, that is a lie. let s get right to, it you know who i m talking about. steve kornacki, back at the big board. steve, where do things stand right now? yeah we ll stephanie, you said the biggest toy so far of the night clearly, this one kansas, this referendum, constitutional amendments. that would stay the constitution and the state of kansas. does not provide for the right to abortion. goes down to defeat, goes down to defeat as you say, overwhelmingly. this is a tremendous surprise whatsapp and here. a lot of people did not see the fact of no winning, nor the magnitude of it. i think it s gonna be a political significant repercussions from this result. also the potential here, in terms of you see where the no votes, a lot of energy in the suburbs of kansas city. democrats have been saying hey,
in missouri the battle of the two trump endorsed candidates called eric has been decided. and we seem to projects that missouri eric schmidt has won the republican nomination for senate, defeating the former governor eric greitens. and in washington state, the votes is still too early to call for tua publicans running for election who both voted to impeach donald trump. congresswoman jerry her rather butler s leading right now against trump endorsed candidate joe can t. and congressman dan newhouse is leading a tremendous candidate, lauren colp. steve kornacki with us all night, let s go over to the big board and see what s going on right now. i say you ve chosen to talk about arizona first. tell us what you are looking at. a bit of a potential surprise here in arizona, kerry lake, the republican backed by donald trump, former newscaster up there in arizona, had let in the polling in this race, and i think came in today as the favorite. you can see we got a lot of the vot
look, you are seeing gibbs as a threat to democracy. you are saying that people that back trump s claims by the 2020 election our threat to democracy. why are you spending hundreds of thousand dollars trying to get them nominated? he can go away in an office. you had a role in that. so it s a tricky one. if gibbs wins this thing by 1500 votes after the democrats. there may be democrats who were involved in his victory. it s a very interesting story. it s a ploy unless he becomes the member of congress. yeah. you look at the nature of this district. potential the nature of 2022. he might be less electable then meijer, but i wouldn t say in a year like 2022 in a district in michigan, he is unelectable. it s very possible he could. when. we are gonna watch it closely, we are still watching the fallout from what s happening in kansas. also even though we don t have poll results out of arizona, we re gonna get more information over the course of the next hour. you and i spent a lo
the way for all the efforts and all the grift involved, still couldn t find donald trump a victory in arizona. but there are birds of a feather. if you are concerned about democracy, it s worth watching. thank you. tim marie teresa, what is your view on what is happening tonight? i will, say kansas which we are gonna talk a little bit more later, as soon as we are just a couple of levels. the turnout, the number of people who turned out to vote and a primary election in kansas, kornacki was telling the numbers that sounded like they were almost double what you normally expect. so you hit the nail on the head, ali. what s interesting about kansas is that if you look at the results, it looks like roughly about 300,000 republicans that cast ballots, for the gubernatorial side, you saw an additional roughly 80,000 of them who actually voted for the, to support the abortion issue in kansas. and that s huge. because it s saying that republicans are willing to go
more extreme trump backed republican to win the primary so that he loses the election. but they really think that they said the twice, rather happier myers. what are you making of what you have seen so far? yeah, they see having. we i was on the last hour. maybe a little bit bullish on the democracy candidates in some of these races. we ll see even in the last, hour gibbs as kornacki just talked about, has taken the lead, in that race. i m not so sure that robeson is in great shape there, obviously she is winning, there s a big gap, but we see what happens in this election day vote. michigan, same thing could happen in arizona where like could catch up. that is something to keep an eye on. which you have here and the michigan race i think is a more clear cut situation. in my or might not be on the issues that liberals cup of tea. but he voted to impeach the president. he has been very clear about that. he has not at all played footsie with the conspiracy about the election. gibbs on
