vance won yesterday s republican primary. and the democratic nominee for senate in that race congressman tim ryan joins us at the top of the hour. also ahead, a manhattan judge refuses to lift a $10,000 fine against donald trump. plus is the premium court opinion eroding trust in the judicial system already. one of our next guests says the supreme court legitimacy already is lost. morning joe is coming right back. back from prom dresses
who don t care are trump voters. and trump knows that. i give him credit in one sense. he put his he put his info macho on the line here and said, you know, i m going to show everybody there were skeptics, including me, i m like, i don t know, it seems like j.d. vance is getting a rise out of this. it turns out that last tailwind, without the polls in the race as amy pointed out the race was fluid. there were a bunch of republicans in the race. in the end, three or four who conceivably could have won last night it wasn t close last night. he s got almost a ten-point victory over josh mandel who was easily the winner in the field until donald trump endorsed. and i feel the bitter bile rise in my note when i say donald trump will brag about this today. sure. in the limited sense, you
women need better health care. yeah. it takes us back decades. still ahead on morning joe, the latest from hard-hit mariupol. russian forces are stepping up their attacks and attempting to storm that steel plant where hundreds of civilians are still holed up. plus, when it comes to ukraine, cities have been destroyed, thousands have been killed, but some experts say putin is actually showing restraint. admiral james stavridis joins us next to weigh in on that. also ahead, donald trump s pick, j.d. vance won last night s gop primary. ohio s open senate seat. wait, wasn t j.d. vance the guy who said if you re a christian, done vote for donald trump? yes. what that means for the midterms and trump s hold over the republican party. we ll have tim ryan who will face vance on the ballot this
