high court may in fact be poised to soon overturn roe v. wade. normally known as settled law of the land wrote for nearly half a century at this point, a law that grants women the right to have an abortion. can and there's no question at this point about the authenticity. chief justice roberts confirmed today that leaked draft is in fact is real. but he emphasized it was quite careful to say the opinion written back in february does not represent any final decision by the court. and as for that unprecedented leak roberts is ordering an investigation to find the source of that leak. in fact he's calling the leak a, quote, betrayal, end quote. and quote, a preach of trust, unquote. now, the leak aside emotions are high. there's been great shock and anger for some and praise and joy for others. undeniably there has been much disagreement. but everyone everywhere is asking the key questions that we're going to focus on here tonight. questions like what happens now. what will it mean for women, for the constitution? what about other fundamental rights that might be impacted if any? and how has your state legislature planned for the possibility of this. and what role can congress play? on an election night like this what might the political impact be? we've got a powerful dynamite team here to help answer all of those questions tonight. politically speaking perhaps no one should be blind-sided. this has been a hotly debated issue since at least 1973 one democrats and republicans have campaigned on. donald trump told us point-blank back in 2016 if he were elected president he would try to appoint justices who would overturn roe v. wade. but still this bombshell does have many people stunned that the high court would possibly take away a right rather than provide and enforce one as is normally done. well, this draft's key words, quote, we hold that roe and casey must be overruled. it is time to heed the constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives. now, this is feeding into some of the public's concerns about the court's political independence. what some of the justices of majority now are saying about roe also isn't exactly what they told senators back at their own confirmation hearings. >> it is a precedent that has now been on the books for several decades. it has been challenged. it has been reaffirmed. >> part of being a good judge is coming in and taking precedent as it stands, and your personal views about the precedent have absolutely nothing to do with the good job of a judge. >> as a judge it is an important pres dependent of the supreme court. by it i mean roe v. wade. >> a fetus is not a person. that's the law of the land. i accept the law of the land, senator, yes. >> well, this draft opinion isn't exactly following that notion of the acceptance of the law of the land. and i want to unpack this further with a team we had to take apart and answer the question -- what now? we're joined by our supreme court supporter, chief political correspondent dana bash, and political commentator jonah goldberg. i'm glad to have all of you here especially on a night like this. you know the court so well and you've been following for so long. i want to know about the impact of this leak. we can talk about the substance of the draft opinion, of course. but this is truly unprecedented to have a draft opinion to be out in the public. how is this to the court's reputation? >> it's shattering particularly for the justices themselves because as the court confirmed today it wasn't a final draft. what usually happens is that it's circulated through different chambers. one justice can say add this, subtract this, you can have my vote. this really is a breach of public trust and will have big implications. when you think of the draft opinion itself, it's really the worst-case scenario for supporters of abortion rights because remember in oral arguments they knew things were bad, but they really thought chief justice jon roberts had floated a middle ground. he was saying something like let's keep this law but also keep this on the book. and they came out of it feeling he might attract someone else, but that is not what just alito did at all. he said roe had short circuited that process and took on that notion which means justices usually allow precedent to stand even if they don't completely agree with it because case law are the building blocks of law. and if you pull one out then the whole thing comes down. and alito today rejected that. really this leak and opinion itself is really such that we haven't seen something like this and it's going to impact the future of the court and impact confirmation hearings from now o on. and it's a seismic shift. >> the idea of confirmation hearings under the microscope. and, dana, to that point we realize there have been many members of the senate who have talked to those who have stood to be confirmed, and they've asked the very questions about what they thought about precedent, about what ought to be. and in fact today murkowski spoke about her confidence in the court had been rocked. should she have known? >> you know, given what we have seen with this draft opinion perhaps. but so much of this is unprecedented and never mind the leak. but also it wasn't that long ago that it was enathema for a president to demand what they call a litmus test on abortion for supreme court nominees. it wasn't until recent years especially on the republican side in the trump years he went all in. you have to remember on the notion of elections having consequences, in order for donald trump to secure the backing of the -- the base of the republican party as someone who was a former democrat who was very much for abortion rights until just shortly after he ran on the republican ticket, he said explicitly not only will i pick somebody who will overturn roe v. wade, he was given a list of potential nominees to pick from from groups who knew what they were talking about and worked for decades to do that. >> on that point, though, the idea of having to understand the dynamics politically of who could actually get confirmed, you spoke to senator susan collins just a few years ago about this very notion, this idea of thinking about what it would take to be confirmed. i want to play what you asked her about the confidence level she had about that candid nature, about that litmus test. >> are you 100% certain without a doubt that brett kavanaugh will not overturn roe v. wade? >> i do not believe that brett kavanaugh will overturn -- >> presidents overturn them all the time. >> they aren't overturned all the time. he noted roe had been reaffirmed 19 years later and it was unprecedented. he said it should be extremely rare it would be overturned. >> you have obviously full confidence. >> i do. >> well, on that notion the full confidence that dana spoke to her about jonah, i mean does the public have the same kchds in the court knowing that there is certainly a disconnect what was said and now what might be joined if it's a final opinion? >> i think the public is sophisticated on this kind of thing. and the story begins here with bourke where bourke treat his confirmation hearings as if they were a graduate level seminar and spoke honestly and torpedoed his nomination. since then with nominees and republican candidates alike ruth bader ginsburg was the first to say -- this haebs capsified by the sort of opaque language that prevents having frank and full conversations about what peoples positions are. about litmus tests insofar as democrats only appointed pro-candidates and then trump joined into that process. i think at the end of the day the american people are very ambivalent about abortion. they generally don't like it. but at the same time they want some protections for it and some circumstances, and we're going to actually see that in most of the country is that you're going to find these kinds of compromises which is something that ruth bader ginsburg herself said would have been better -- >> just real quick, i agree with jonah. what i meant was on the republican side, republican presidents. i mean, that was maybe going back to the suitor example where republicans were very upset with george h.w. bush, but more recently look at the clip you played from justice alito, then nominee alito as a george w. bush nominee. he was saying all the right things, something to get confirmed rather, very much differs -- >> i want to talk about these issues. i want to hear more from you on all this. we're not going to resolve is in this instant but i want to talk about the notion of the importance of elections and campaigning on it and what the litmus tests are. we'll come back on this issue in just a moment. thank you so much. i want to turn now to ohio where we've got cnn projecting that congressman tim ryan will win the democratic primary for the u.s. senate, but many are watching their republican senate primary, a far more contentious race, and the outcome could reveal what we're talking about here, the influence of former president donald trump and whether he'd still have that influence on the party and a close look who is leading this field. and we've got john king at the magic wall. john, tell me what are you seeing? >> laura, right now we're seeing jd vance, has the trump endorsement. we still have a little more than half. we're at 43% of the estimated vote in, so more than half to count. but in the last hour or so we've seen jd vance continue to grow and expand his lead. now, the second place candidate a fellow conservative, a very pro-trump candidate john mandel and matt doland he's running third right now. there are a couple other leading candidates in the race. but they're getting votes in the crowded field. this makes a difference. the former state party chair at 7. why does that matter? well, when you're in a crowded primary and 26,000 votes and change ahead you see jd vance on the map winning many. the dark red is josh mandel. this lighter red here is jd vance. he's winning a lot, most of the rural counties. that was trump's strength. we know the trump endorsement shot jd vance up in the polls. pulling ahead. if matt doland has a chance here it's only because of this. this is franklin county, columbus, the seat of government, the capital. he's running well ahead here and only 25% of the vote is in. but he'd have to make a ton of votes here. the doland family owns the cleveland guardians, the baseball team. you have the suburbs here with 20% of the vote in. it's possible because you have large voting centers in cleveland and columbus, but interesting the third largest county is hamilton here. this is sicincinnati. and you see much more of a split here. is it possible, yes. but at the moment stretching it out. again you mention tim ryan as the democrat. whichever republican wins this race will be favored in the fall, but it's may. we'll see how it goes. >> we'll check back in later in the hour. and we're going to return to the supreme bombshell opinion overhead and what it might mean nationwide if that draft opinion is made final. we'll talk to two key figures in the civil rights muflt. the ceo for the center of reproductive rights and the owner of the abortion clinic at the center of this storm out of mimississippi. that's next. t heinz knows therey of magic in all that chaos. ♪ so different and d so new ♪ ♪ was like any other... ♪ the unknown is not empty. it's a storm that crashes, and consumes, replacing thought withorry. but one thing can calm uncertainty. an answer. uncovered through exploration, teamwork, and innovation. an answer that leads to even more answers. mayo clinic. you know where to go. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. this dad and daughter were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

( ♪ ) ( ♪ ) ( ♪ ) ( ♪ ) so what now is the big question. what now for women who might be seeking abortions. what now for abortion clinics. i mean if the supreme court majority draft opinion is actually adopted some of the effects will be immediate. you've got 13 states that have passed what are known as trigger laws which are abortion restrictions that would be triggered automatically if or when roe v. wade is overturned. and one of those states is mississippi. and that's where diane owns the only abortion clinic in the state. in fact it's her clinic jackson women's health organization, is the one at the very center of that draft opinion. and she joins me now along with the president and ceo of the center for reproductive rights, nancy northrop. ladies, i'm glad to have you both here with me tonight. i want to begin with you, diane, because as many people talked about during the course of the year what happened in texas and the end round around the pres dependent of roe v. wade really the case of the supreme court involved what was happening in mississippi. and you owned the only clinic left standing there for the this particular issue. what has it been like in your clinic today with the news of this draft opinion circulating? >> it has been business as usual except for the press that is there to talk to the administrator. but the patients don't pay any attention to that because they're there to get a medical service. that's all they're interested in, and that's what we saw today. >> are you seeing a lot of people outside the clinic in terms of protest, or are we talking about a media presence mostly? are you seeing your patients have to go through something before they can enter and get that treatment? >> that's the norm. we're actually seeing less protests because they know our future is limited, so they have chosen to go to other states at the time. today was press waiting to hear what was going on in the clinic and to see what they could see in the front. >> and speaking of the idea of being able to go other places or needing to go other places, if this actually is adopted as a final opinion, you know, your clinic would likely have to close. and that would mean that women who are in mississippi who are otherwise able to access your clinic are going to have to travel to other states like illinois and north carolina because abortion would not be banned in those areas. so what are you doing in terms of preparation in the event that that might happen? is there a movement happening to help those women be able to get to those other areas? i know you're opening a clinic as well. >> absolutely. new mexico, that will be the pink house west. we have long thought that our time was limited and that roe would be overturned, so we have made plans. we've presently been seeing women from texas, so they drive great distances. and the waiting period is about five weeks before a patient from texas can be seen in one of the clinics in an adjoining state. and that's because the numbers from texas. now, multiply that times the numbers from the states who have yet to ban it and that's going to give you some idea of the nightmare this is going to become. hundreds of thousands of women trying to get medical care. >> nancy, as she speaks about this issue and the waiting period, you can't help but think about every week being a moment where obviously you're talking about in a trimester framework it being quite impactful. and i want to tell you about the big picture here. she's articulated the idea having to go to neighboring states assuming those states aren't banning abortion. what impact would this decision if it's final and if it overturns roe v. wade, what impact is that going to have on the ability to travel to different areas, to be able to go to a place within a time frame to actually receive the service they requested? >> it's going to be difficult clearly. >> let me ask nancely quickly about the question as well. i'll come back to you. >> yes, so what we do know is that if the supreme court were to reverse roe v. wade, about half the states would move quickly to ban abortion. and that would mean that large swaths of the south and midwest, people would have to cross multiple state lines to be able to get care if they have the means to do so. and we've already seen this happening with abortion being banned at six weeks in texas. and as diane just said people going to mississippi, oklahoma, louisiana, colorado during the time that's happened since september. and that is going to multiply, and that is going to be an incredibly difficult situation. what's so important is for people to recognize that this is going to be an access crisis and that that is why you're seeing today so many people coming out not just here in washington but across the country to say it's unacceptable to have the supreme court reverse 50 years of a guaranteed personal liberty. people are coming out today and standing up and saying enough. >> well, thinking about that and we see on the screen here the protests happening at the supreme court. again, this is only the draft opinion that's not final and might not be the one you see later on or maybe the next month or so. i want to ask you, nancy. you talk about those turning out. what about congress? do you have any hope congress will be able to codify roe v. wade? do you have confidence of the potential to codify roe v. wade if in fact it is overturned? >> you know, the women's health protection act is the bill that responds to the bans and the medically unnecessary restrictions on abortion that have been happening for years. and the women's health protection act has been passed by the house. the senate has been voted on it and didn't get enough in the first vote in the senate, but we're going to continue to push the enactment of the women's health protection act because we cannot have the situation that diane has talked about where you don't even have access in mississippi. you know, she has been holding on in mississippi for all these years with the pink house in jackson providing the care that people need in that state. it should not have to leave that state. care should still be provided in mississippi and every state across the country. so the women's health protection act, congress can act. many people don't know that. they're just waking up to the fact that it's not just the supreme court that can protect abortion rights. so can the u.s. congress. >> thank you for the information especially, diane, thinking about the waiting lists, about who is actually coming to get the services performed in different states and thinking about projecting that out, what it would look like ultimately. thank you for your time. i appreciate both of you for taking the time to talk to us about this, and we're going to keep looking at the supreme court draft opinion and by the way the leak fallout ahead. but up next our other big story because we're watching the returns in a major test of donald trump's influence tonight in the state of ohio. our political team is here with the early take-aways 24 hours after the battle for the control of congress nationwide may have just shifted. we're coming right back. one of my favorite supplements is qunol turmeric. turmeric helps with healthy joints and inflammation support. unlike regular turmeric supplements qunol's superior absorption helps me get the full benefits of turmeric. the brand i trust is qunol. ♪ ♪ ♪i'm so defensive,♪ ♪i got bongos thumping in my chest♪ ♪and something tells me they don't beat me♪ ♪ ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ring from me.♪ xfinity mobile runs on america's most reliable 5g network, but for up to half the price of verizon, so you have more money for more stuff. this phone?

>> well, i mean that's the intention of a trump endorsement is for his candidate to go from being kind of in the middle or near the back of the pack to being in the front. and i think it goes to show really there's not much that has happened that has waned trump's influence on the republican party. vance was one of many of these candidates who were vying for trump's endorsement, trying to be as close to trump as possible. he happened to win the endorsement, and it worked for him. i also think it's notable that trump's endorsement came as early voting was already under way in that state. so i think it just emphasizes that even a relatively late endorsement seemed to have given vance just enough juice to kind of beat out the competitor. and also when you have the race split between so many candidates vance might end up with 30% of the republican vote. that kind of says how split, you know, republican voters are picking among candidates who frankly are not that much different from each other when it comes down to it. >> well, the difference is one's got the rubber stamp of donald trump. and of course as you mentioned before this is mbd who trump had to warm up to after early criticism by jd vance and you had hat late in the game. david, at this point we were talking a lot in the day obviously about the impact of this draft opinion that's not final. we've been told that. it was leaked, but if it's any indication of what's to come we know that abortion issues and abortion rights can be a very big game changer in terms of the turn out. what impact do you see about the fight surrounding the abortion rights in this country? is it going to have an impact on the primaries? obviously this came out last night. >> i think we're going to see less of an impact on the primaries because republicans tend to agree on the issue of abortion rights as democrats agree in their position on abortion rights. it's much more an issue where the parties for the general election context in november differ greatly and where both parties will attempt to mobilize their bases around the issue. i do think it's worth noting as we're talking about trump's endorsed candidate here in the lead. in ohio, laura, you know who's probably not surprised to see the trump endorsed candidate in the lead? people like mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy who we just recently are learning about their initial response to january 6th and trying to get trump out of the party and how quickly they moved off of that because they sort of looked at where the base of the party was and understood that even a year ago in the immediate aftermath of january 6th this was still very much donald trump's party, and i think we're seeing that play out today. if vance holds onto this, that is only going to embolden trump's presence and prowess inside the republican party. >> i want to put up on the screen for people to see this is the beginning of this eight-week process and eight-week blitz. we're talking about upcoming primary battles are happening in may, also happening in june as well. we know that's going to be a factor. and we know that nearly a dozen other states were going to have primary battles this month, and there are some pretty key matchup ups here. if we were to go beyond the primary, dana, as chalian was speaking about, what do you see here as the political fallout possibly being in terms of the impact of in an election going forward? to whom's benefit will this enure? will it be democrats? will it be republicans? is it hard to judge? >> you know, this is so new the real answer is it's hard to judge. what i can tell you based on talking to sources all day in both parties is that on the democratic side you have them already facing incredible headwinds on a whole host of issues. and the idea that they have a real -- not just a base motivator but they hope potentially a suburban motivator in this issue of abortion, which had been a very -- a pretty sleepily issue on the democratic side. i mean, the reason it has been a huge political issue is because the republicans made it this way. the republicans methodically for decades focused on this issue of abortion and focused on packing the court and focused on getting people elected in the senate and to the white house in order to do that. and so you are likely to see a shift there. but even more broadly beyond abortion what is going to be fascinating if, in fact, jd vance, for example, does win the republican nomination in ohio you are going to see the mitch mcconnells of the world start to get potentially a bit nervous because the question is about the general election. the question is whether or not these trump endorsed candidates can win even though ohio in the last presidential election was clearly rigged. is it going to be a different case because you have a democrat who's going to run against potentially a jd vance? and it could be more of a toss up than a solidly republican state which is what republicans were hoping it would be. >> on that point i was going to say all these different primary elections, they really are sort of case studies for people like mitch mcconnell and others to look at and also senator chuck schumer as well to figure out how the balance of power may shift or may be maintained. so looking at all these races that sound of approval on what impact will it have, particularly knowing what we're seeing in the abortion related issues of last night and going forward, abbey, david, dana, thank you so much. nice seeing all of you. >> you, too. now back to the hunt for a supreme court leaker. an investigation ordered up by the chief justice of the supreme court john roberts on this truly unprecedented breach of the high court. so who leaked a major draft opinion and why and was it illegal?

(music throughout) we have breaking news now in the ohio republican senate primary race. cnn can now project that jd vance will win the gop nomination. let's go right to john king at the magic wall. john, what are you telling us? >> this is victory for jd vance and also a victory -- you cannot sugar coat this -- for trump as well. we have about 70% of the vote counted now. this lead has sfretretched overe last hour. jd vance with 31% of the vote, josh man del a very pro-trump candidate but did not get trump's endorsement. mat doland was in the hunt early on but he simply faded. see all these rural colors here, just like trump built it up in ohio and ran away with the state against joe biden. rural ohio not exclusively but very much powering the map behind what will be a jd vance victory. again, relatively close in some of them, but you pick up several hundred votes in a small rural county like that, you move over here you're picking up several hundred more votes here. this is how donald trump does it in small town america with jd vance doing it in ohio tonight. in a place where if matt doland was to have an upset he needed to do it down here, the third largest county in the state, hamilton county that is cincinnati. running nar low ahead right now, but if there was to be an establishment strike moment for donald trump this would be at the moment 26% with jd vance leading there. just look this is how if you go back to the presidential race in 2020 see all that red, that's donald trump. that's how he does it. joe biden won in cleveland, won in cincinnati, columbus. joe biden won the three largest counties in ohio but won only seven because donald trump runs it up, jd vance he's at 31% because of the crowded field, but we project in the winner because of that, and there's no doubt -- no doubt on this one night if this plays out in the primary season a victory for vance is a victory for trump. >> let's bring in our top political binds, abbey philip, david chalian and dana bash. i'm wondering who's relieved and who's anxious now. abbey, predicted or not sph. >> yeah, i think expected given the trump endorsement for sure. you know, of all the candidates in the trumpy wing of the party i think vance is one that the establishment thinks they can live with. you know, he made a sharp turn towards trump in order to run this race, but i think by and large many republican establishment-types from what i have heard, they feel like he can run a general election effectively in that state and perform -- perform you know decently. and especially if you look at some of these primary, you know, returns as they're coming in, he's doing well in the kind of more rural areas, but he's also doing okay in suburban areas. and i think those are two kind of factors that republicans are going to look at to see how he might perform in a general election and not to mention the fact ohio has just become a much more conservative state, and so this is going to be an uphill battle for democrats. it almost doesn't matter who the republican nominee ends up being. >> dana, i hear you acknowledging as well and echoing that sentiment of how this may be able to be extrapolated beyond ohio. what does this tell you about the ability of donald trump to endorse a candidate to a successful primary victory but also what it might speak to other state primaries that are coming up? is it a litmus test? >> i think we have to be careful because although the republican party nationally clearly is at the base of it, the primary voters clearly do still support donald trump and trumpism. each state is different. you just showed that ohio in particular or john did, ohio in particular has become much more red in every way. pennsylvania is a state that is coming up when this other primary test will be out there, whether or not a trump endorsed candidate, dr. oz, will beat somebody -- or there's a few candidates but somebody who's more republican establishment in dave mccormick. it's unclear given that electorate you'll see the same kind of dynamic you saw tonight in ohio. what is also unclear, again, what we were talking about earlier is how a trump endorsed candidate is going to do up against whomever the democrat is going to be. it's also all and especially now starting in ohio it is about the general elections. all the questions you were asking before, how the supreme court potential decision on abortion comes into play, other factors comes into play, that will all decide whether or not this ohio seat which rob portman, the republican is leaving, stays in gop hands. >> i want to bring you in on that very notion because i'm curious especially what abbey was speaking about in particular the idea of and what john was explaining where these votes were coming from, how to look at this in terms of what the composition of these voters who were galvanized to come out and vote actually means. >> yeah, this is certainly as john pointed out a trump country kind of turn out for jd vance. remember we're saying that in the context of the republican primary, right? when you look at the general election map you see how democrats have lost any foothold even in places like ohio where they used to have it in terms of rural areas, and donald trump sort of wiped that away in his last two presidential elections. but what's interesting to see is now that we know it's going to be jd vance versus tim ryan, it's like how does that shape up and minutes of vance being projected the winner here trying to frame him as a california elitist who made a lot of money from a netflix movie on it and not of ohio. i don't know if you're a trump endorsed candidate who just pulled a lot of votes from rural ohio that that kind of frame will stick. >> i want to go to jeff zeleny. live at vance headquarters in cincinnati. what are you seeing over there, jeff? >> reporter: we're seeing a lot of excited supporters. you can see the crowd behind me listening to the song "gloria." and there's no doubt that endorsement from president trump about 2 1/2 weeks ago led to this victory tonight. the question going forward is can he consolidate other republicans? and just talking to a variety of republicans who supported his challenger, they say, yes. they say jd vance can speak to the base of the party, which he proved tonight, and he can also speak to the intelligent of the party. so this is quite extraordinary. just about three weeks ago he was near the bottom of the pack, and it was that endorsement at a rally in delaware county from former president trump they did indeed give him the credibility to overcome all the doubters. but what we're going to hear tonight until is jd vance trying to unify this republican party? and immediately going after tim ryan he will be trying to portray him as simply part of the democratic party, part of the biden party -- he may say tonight. so clearly this is a large win for jd vance in his first bid for his office, and this is going to be a test. but we do know ohio is increasingly becoming a red state. so will this be competitive in the fall? it will be in the sense tim they know that, laura. >> jeff zeleny, thank you. i want to go back to the panel. i'm sorry, everybody will have that song stuck in their head for the remainder of the night and probably try to find flash dance at some point in time. it's a great one. to that point about what it reveals. i mean, obviously, you're talking about a primary victory very sustained a general election victory. it's one thing to best your repub lican opponent but bring n a greater part of the electret to have the win in ohio. can they bridge the gap across a spectrum of republicans? >> first of all, i have to say if you get the trump endorse 7897 ment, the first thing you have to do is adopt the play list. >> phantom of the opera coming up next. >> that's a good song. >> it is. i will say to your question, look, this -- looks like j.d. vance is taking the stage now. so stop me if you need to, laura. it will be a question of whether he can convince general election voters of his own transformation. i mean, this is someone who really did go from being in the never trump wing to being kind of a protrumper and i think you're going to see democrats trying to sort of poke holes in that narrative. tim ryan as a candidate is someone who, you know, he had his open presidential run, tried to run like a working class pop populace. this will be two candidates from different parts of the ideological spectrum both trying to run as populous and j.d. vance, you know, we're looking at less than 30% of the republican electret right now in his camp. can he consolidate those people by november? that will be a big question. all of those matt dolan voters will come to vote for a republican nominee or stay home. those are some of the big questions we ought to be looking at. >> it's worth noting, he's now secured this primary projected victory, and just last week, trump didn't actually know his name, the appropriate name. he blended two different ones. there's a lot there. what do you think? >> there are a lot of candidates. so yes, that was a very interesting moment especially because all of the candidates except for one as we've noted, matt dolan are vying for donald trump's endorsement in a way that was really remarkable to see. but listen, j.d. vance what he has in common with dr. oz in pennsylvania is that he's a celebrity, maybe he doesn't have the -- didn't have the oprah endorsement once upon a time but he has some name i.d. that's not and the fact and a closely watched election in ohio is up for grabs. it's a republican electret. yes, this has gone gop but brown is a democrat, a well-known guy in ohio who is a democrat as he would call it who represents ohio as well. >> david, you got reporting speaking about the conversation about donald trump and the shadow he obviously has in this particular race. you have reporting about a conversation between the two. >> well, i'm sharing our colleague. she spoke to sources familiar with former president trump reached out to make a congratulatoriry phone call to j.d. vance a few minutes ago before he took the stage and no doubt wanted to be part of this victory moment, extended those congratulations to vance perhaps vance will share that in his remarks here. clearly, our colleague gabby was saying that he was watching these returns very closely and he was gathering at mar-a-lago and keenly interested in seeing how this endorsement would play out as the vote returns were coming in tonight and he is described as relieved according to gabby's reporting that it turned out this way, his horse in this race did indeed get across the finish line. >> we're talking of course what is going on in ohio in a congressional primary and really big races at the state and local levels as i point to georgia for example. the gubernatorial race there about who has the stamp of approval from donald trump versus others and what impact that will have down the line. a lot of people watching ohio and many other places as well. we have more on all of this in a few moments here. we'll bring you the latest on what is going on in just a moment here. we'll be right back in a few. stand by. - [narrator] it's a mixed up world. and the way we work looks a little different. but whether you embrace the new normal or just wanto get back to the routines that feel right, x-chair continues to be at the forefront of change, which is why we've launched the all new x-chair with elemax. elemax combines gentle body temperature regulation with stress melting massage to increase your comfort working from home or at the office. feel more refreshed in seconds with dual fans that actively deliver a clean air flow or you can wrap your back in the soothing warmth of heat therapy and access four combinations of massage for deep relief from tension. our patented dynamic variable lumbar support and scifloat infinite recline technology remain unchanged. order an x-chair with elemax today. use code tv and get $50 off plus a free foot rest. hey, change happened and we've made it a good thing with all new elemax from x-chair. now the future feels better than ever before. order x-chair with elemax today. use code tv and get $50 off plus a free foot rest. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. we're carvana the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100 percent online now we've created a brand new way for you to sell your car whether it's a year old, or a few years old we want to buy your car so go to carvana enter your license plate answer a few questions and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds when you're ready we'll come to you pay you on the spot and pick up your car that's it so ditch the old way of selling your car and say hello to the new way at carvana trunk thanks for watching. a big night ahead.
