i can tell you, sean, if youw were to look at the state of pennsylvania, i'll show you in a moment here you can draw a t and find out where the republican voters vote and where the democrat vote. and just a moment, however, this is pittsburgh. this is alleghenys county. this is the hometown of david mccormick. well, we're okay. there it is. it's the second largest of sixty seven counties that gives you an ideaco of how many votes there are in allegheny county in the city of pittsburgh. y inp and you're about well, it's still early in that part of the state down here in thehi southeast as little green county right here. that's the county here, and thel of philadelphia. there are a ton ofph votes here that have to be counted. no one populated county in the entire state out of w sixty seven i was mentioning where you find votes in the state of pennsylvania. pennsyla this is what pennsylvania did less than two yearsnirs ago.n, joe biden, the official winner over donald win trump by about eighty thousand but eighty two thousand votes2,00 d in twenty twenty . if you were to draw this , you know a lot of times when you study the state of pennsylvania, you draw the tea, takeaw with the middle county here and you can see the red counties across the top and the other red counties that fill in on the sides. seen and we have seen election after election on the red counties get redder in pennsylvania and the blue counties get bluer . over that includes pittsburgh over here, erie in the northwest and also the area of philadelphia down here in the southeast. come sst back to real action now in the senate race. okay, we're at a 10%t of the voe stick and pretty much mccormick at thirty two and a half and oze a twenty six percent. and kathy barnett, who really made a charge in the last wad 14 days or so of that election trailing right now at aboutwh 21%. what's happeningapde on the democratic side for the senate? john fetterman is in the hospital. john fetterman cast a vote t today from his hospital room. john fetterman had a heart procedure today. he has been declared the winner based on the tally so far and the associate press. so he is well on to taking on whoever comes out the winnerl ,the republican senate primary. and will we get a winner tonight ? will we find out tonight ? remember the state of pennsylvania starts counting ballots after the polls closedos and that was just about an houra four minutes ago. soso we got a ways here. just check in on in on the repun race for the gubernatorial primary in pennsylvania. doug mastriano is endorsed by donald trump and he is now a leader with about twenty four twenty five percent of the vote in . so that's a bit of a changes as we watch the tallies come in throughout the state. n to n on northor carolinath c and showow what we've seen so fr tonight popping out here down to the tar heellhe state. this is hang on here. okay, this is ted budd in magento. we'll call it john. maglhe was picked within minutw by the associated pressit on early winner endorsed by donald trump a year ago. ted budd was an easy winnerrt in north carolina tonight what's happening on the houses side to draw a little something here for you if you were to go to the far western reaches of northli carolina, this is county right here. that's where asheville's located and draw a line. thi this would make ups congressional district numbera eleven. this has been hotly watched now especially by republicans observers of this campaign because madison cawthorn, a first time freshmanma republican in the house is in for quite a challenge right now. and i can show you a little bitt of what's happening there in qd 11 . chuck edwards, the state senator , is hanging on here right now r over cawthorn, a number of republicansbl in washington and throughout north carolinaic that had not one cawthorn to win. win they openly campaigned against him and it's look at this . 77% of the vote now is in and chuck edwards is hanging r on right now with a little less than 35% of the tally there. and again, the 11 congressionald district in north carolina, another one here we justlina lok at this . this is congressional district number fourr in north carolina. that'sth the raleigh area, sean. and this is this is a raceec we're watching because neither you orau excuse me, she was endorsed by bernie sanders. she's a progressivese and she will go on to lose tonight in her bid to take congressional district four and represent the democrats in november. 4 so looks like with ninety nine o percent of the vote in there, she will be a loser there in north carolina. so the state of the race right now if i were to go back two years ago at the presidential level, you know, you think about pennsylvania i just showed you there. well,uylva i mean, just remembes where we were and we go, boom, with donald trump beating joe biden, right? so closehe tally was in north carolina just like it was in pennsylvania. so something to track there. whi now i want to show you while i can hear we started what the first of march were in the first week of the war in ukraine. there was not a lot of ton ofti attention that was given the texas primaryonth. si but it was significant too. as we watch and we try and track each primary here in the season and what we try to do here, sean was trying to detect turnout and so we choseta the two biggest states that have voted so far in the primaries. one of them. it was two weeks ago tonight , right? 2020 two more than a million republicans voted democrats about five hundred and 000.thousand. now this is not an apples to apples comparison. ev every state isel different, but they have different levels of interest depending on whether i the senate is up or whether r the governor's race really got some goodacd c congressional rac but watch this . okay, and twenty twenty two when you compare it to four years ago and twenty eight republicans are up 22%. democrats are down 29% in ohio. all right then we went t back to march 1st in the state of texas. 2020 two justex shy of two million republicans and one point one democrats. right. there's some prettyansts it ract in texas too on both sides. well, this is what we found out when we compared. ns 2018 republicans are up 27%. democrats are up for again, it's not apples to apples in every state, but clearly the energygy and he has come so far in these primary races on behalf of the republicanpu party . so w we'll see again how that y works out tonight . how are you, doing? st areil you still with me? i'm still here. a i'm i'm watching in great fascination. all right. so the real race tonight , the real drama is going to s be in the senate raceen in pennsylvania. be checkingania in all throughout the night with you and updating it looks i like it's slightly tightening g a little bit. a little bit. well, it'set getting interesting . all right. stayay with us. bill hemmer. we'll get back to him manyhr times throughout the hour tonight . we might get my monologueht..wew and if we havee time, we're going to try. but first we check in with our very own brian yannis. he is at us campaign headquarters tonight . brian, what's the feeling there ar ? sean, good evening. i just spoke to the campaign here for dr. oz and they arer. feeling confident. they feel like they have the momentum coming in . they are not concerned so far with those early numbers pointing to the fact that dave mccormickto is from the alleghey county area as well as the fact that these votes, they believe are mostly thosese early votes in the mail in ballots that have come in and they're going to wait to seema what the turnout is today on primary dayay when thosecu precincts are coming out. they're particularly interested in looking atlaed in lookin then part of the state.rt that's where a lot of the blue collar workers are. we're talking about wayne and pike and monroe counties, luzerne, one of those areas. that's where former president trump did well and that's wheree they believe that dr. oz can dod well tonight .e so that's what we'll be looking for there. speaking of the formerth president, it is hard to understate the importance of the former president to the dr. oz campaign. as a matter of fact, they said that is extreme, namely important to the dr. oz campaign. in fact, you look. at all of the signs in and around pennsylvania a and they've been many have been replaced with signs that say dr. oz and bold endorsed by trump. the polls wereth not looking great for four hours leading into about april. but then the president chose and endorsed the, the t doctor and that is when things started to take a turn, at least poll wise.ok and we went out today and we spoke to voters. e we found that most people we spoke to who wereo, in between, they were really in between dr. oz and as well as cathy barnettr and those that we spoke to that voted for dr. oz said they thought about two things.o one , president trump's's endorsement and the second electability. purpose was tot come out for us because trump supports him and i'm a trump fan. i think that america first candidate all the commercial that i had seen, i think were not right. i don'te believe he's a rino. it is it was a tough choice between dr. oz and kathy barnett. i the one thing i want somebody who's going to g be electable. mehmet oz certainly has the name recognition and a former president. he took part in a telo rally last night. he called in we're toldal itle s voluntary. he decided he wanted to do everything he can to help dr. oz win. so he called in and he told everybody that he is that theis doctor is a loyal maga person as well as somebody who is a strong and a friend of his . and he obviously went against o dave mccormack and kathy barnettga. one last thing you were talking, sean, about a irregularities. we do have an update. so burk'ses county heresy in pennsylvania, they have reported that there's been widespreaded problems. we just got off the phone g with them with their new electronicot poll books and now the polls will remain open for. another or that means that there were longer lines at the check in so they had problems with these new electronic poll books sos, people had to wait h longer to get in. he there's nothing to do with the actual vote tally. butut as a res as a result, thew were open until 9:00 p.m. instead of eight p.m. so that's berks county, allegheny county. there was a report there that there were issues looking into whether or not they had enough ballots, that there was a report out there that they had ran out of ballots. know tt allegheny county, we now knowth that is noe longer the case. they say that they were looking at the situation upon further review those ballots werere actually delivered. a so that's good news there. and oneiv lastered, issue we're getting out of lancaster county, lancaster county, campaign tells me here that about 8000 votes were affected0 there with an incorrect ballots that were cast was an incorrect election identification number which made it veryti difficult to scan those ballots. but they're working on itlots over time. paign the doctorow's campaign tells us they are not concerned about that county as of now. but we'll keep you updated, john, throughout the eveningho. all m right. thanks very much, brian. yiannis, we'll be back to you throughout the night. thank you . go now to alexandra, alexandria hoft. she's at kathyf, barnetts ade campaign headquarters. alexandria, what's going on there tonight ? oh , hi, sonia. a lot of energy here in elizabethtown. the candidate kathy barnett was behindow me just minutes ago dancing with supporters. so it iso a lively affairr. you have to look around and think how much last minute planning went into putting on an event likein iswa considering. just a month agos it was largee considered to be a two man m race. but earlier this month kathy barnett had a sudden surge in popularity and really showing it coincided with thef leaking of the supreme court draft opinion regardinga roe v. wade. right after that barnett camear out revealing that she was actually conceived as a product of when her mother was 11 years old and at r that poine said sher was really poisedhe and should be considered the most pro-life of all candidates. so that gained a lot of momentum there. but with the increasedre gains, she's got a lotw of criticism still and that includes over the past week that her critics seem homophobic and anti muslim and that peoplei within the republicanr party such as former president from maine and this hasen madear her her history makes her largely unappealing to moderates and independents that a general election would really rely on . so that's something we know that voters have considered.w i did speak to a voter earlier today. she was wearing a trump t t shirt and i asked him if he hadh made up his mind.id he said he just did before going, you know, intoen the polling location and he said that he ended casting his vote for kathy barnett.he he felt that he was a true conservative here. and sean, i doo alson, want to talk about because we've been in lancaster county today that issue that brian was just referring toissu with the ballo, the mail in ballots that had the standing idea on themnn that apparently did not properly ingest into the system. yshe be scanned. we did speak with barnetts campaign about that . they were concernedut t abouto that initially. they wanted to makee sure it was being conducted properly and they did tell us that the campaign has been welcomed inside the countyy headquarters to oversee the process of those ballots being transcribed ontone you documents sow that they can properly be john. all right. thanks for that report..e we appreciate. we'll be checkingg back in t throughout the evening. alexandria, thank you .ha g we go to richardson.ich edson a he ist dave mccormicksca headquarters campaign headquarters tonight . what's the feeling thereswh? they came out of the night with a with a significant lead. it seems to be getting closer as the night goes on . how aree they feeling? are the feeling pretty good here, sean. and this is the view here from pittsburgh, from western pennsylvaniasb, only the only the top tier parties out w here in the western part of the state. dave mccormick, he talked and awful lot about president drop about president trump's policies, but he didn't get thep nomination. he didn't get theid backing from the former president of the united states. but he still said, look, this is an issue set that i have been focused on since my time at west point, since my time in the u.s. army and hei that.nued to pushnu that . now there was a real r multimillion fight here between dave mccormick and dr. mehmet oz for the last few months in this nomination fight trying to get on board, trying to make some headway between the two. ht kathy barnett slides rightat in over the past week and it created really issue here in the campaign. butnd the message really was frm the mccormick folks over the last week or so and even from dave mccormick himself is more of a positive one . he really didn't specifically comment on the number of issues that we had seen from kathy t barnett, some of the previous tweets that she had come out with some of the questions about her military service even as an army veteran myself, dave mcwhirter just really refused to go. there was more of a positiveam messages that came on some of the areas that we've seen some of the early returns. good for davese mccormick there. more ofic the major cities withn pennsylvania, the pittsburgh area wa, and the suburbs around pittsburgh and the cities in eastern pennsylvania. so they're feeling pretty good about that as well. also feeling pretty goodal that if they go up against john fetterman here, remember there's another party goingre on here not too far from where we are in pittsburgh. that's the kindgoar of governor john fetterman now he's not there. he had that stroke. he's inre the hospital rightnd w ,but g he's the one who's going to be running according to the associated press on the democratic side, they're feeling pretty good about it here. he's more of a bernie sanders type b democrat. but again, there's a long way to go. also hear from the mccormick. they were hopingg that the undecideds would break a lot ofa undecideds in the pollingey really up until the last minute they were hoping that folks would go their way. ay they're, hoping a lot of folks go their way still earlyl on watching and waiting sean. all right. great report. we appreciate it. bac we'll check back inin throughout the night. thank you . it was reaction now former senior counsel to president trumpen, kellyanne conway, formr white house chief of staff reince priebus here. before we get into this particular race or any of the specifics of this race, here's an amazing statistic. donald trump came into this night what was it, 50 something and one as of right now. tonight he's seventy five and one in terms ofof people that hd endorsed kellyanne, that is a pretty that ist pretty incredible, an impressive record. and i know groups likeiv the clb for growth, youou know, they threw millions into cathy barnett's campaign. the final hours of this campaign did not the organization steve moore once founded and is not a part of anymore. you know, sean, this is really a reflection of what's going on with the two political parties and their heads right now. so everybody wants donald trump's endorsement. the top three vote getterse in the pennsylvania senate race right now in the p primary, mccormick and barnett all madent a pilgrimage. they want donald trump'sor endorsement of scott it the other twowo still were touting their connections to president trump to america first agenda, to their time n with him, photos with him. that does notot happen in the democratic side. john fetterman, the new
