up early on way too early. morning joe starts right now. relief. excitement. joy. i m very proud of our fellow kansans. we were telling people in neighboring states that their rights were no longer intact. they had to flee their states to get care. the cards were set against us from the start. as a husband i do not look forward to trusting the legislature to protect the rights of my wife. we re avoiding a huge horror that would have come to kansas. one of the things i heard, you may be against abortion for yourself, but you can t be against it and make it for someone else. this is my life on the line, too, is this my right. tonight, we get to say to kansans, you can still get care here, you re still recognized and make your own medical decisions. reaction from kansas last night, as voters turned out in high numbers to protect abortion rights in that conservative state. it was the country s first best of the issue since the supreme court overturned roe v.
A bunch of democrats to rush out and vote on this, but they did. but it was not close as we saw a minute ago. the voters in texas rejected the effort to remote right to abortion. that was the question on the ballot. 59 to 41, that s when the vote was put to a vote in june. as mika said the kansas vote signals abortion will be an energizing issue. look at those numbers, willie. look at those. look at those numbers. beforehand, the predictions were that the yes vote would win by a couple of point. right. every poll showed that. this is one of those and there were people that were afraid to tell pollsters how they were going to vote. this is sort of the reverse trump effect, the reverse bradley effect. this is a tsunami. it is. just not close and again, in kansas, this is the state of kansas. associated press had an estimate, turnout for
Usually, there is this panic among the establishment in france. there was this panic during the last election. macron won decisively. he won decisively this time, as well. not quite as decisively, but still. i m wondering, it seems to be a reverse trump effect in france. in the united states, you always have to expect going into an election, donald trump is going to get more support than the pollsters suggest he is. a lot of people are embarrassed to admit to pollsters they re supporting trump. in france, it seems just the opposite. it always seems that it s le pen, and before that her father, who always got this big bump in the polls. those bumps never seem to materialize. can you help explain that to us? reporter: yeah. look, the french voter is a nuance and, frankly, complex voter. in the first round, french
Critical right to vote. donald trump has turned that upside down. and to watch people that i know i may have political disagreements, i may have policy disagreements, but people who don t come to congress to just defend one person. they come here i hope for something bigger. and to watch the defense of this president continue to change and shift because the facts don t support it is hard to watch. congresswoman katherine clark, i m glad you are making these statements on high broadcamy broadcast. i ll look forward to seeing you good. the democrats, is there a reverse trump effect? a reverse trump effect ve seen a . even a- (ernie) lost rubber duckie? (burke) you mean this one? (ernie) rubber duckie! (cookie) what about a broken cookie jar? (burke) again, cookie? (cookie) yeah. me bad. (grover) yoooooow!
The lead. you have phil bredesen. lar two-term governor of the state. how is this one shaping up from where you re sitting? well, it s going to be interesting. it s almost a reverse trump effect, to some extent. if governor bredesen pulls this out. and what s on the ballot here, tennessee which is an upper south state has always prided itself that when alabama sent george wallace to the national stage, we sent howard baker he. that s kind of the dynamic here. it s a complicated state. the eastern part of the state did not want us to see it from the u.s. the middle and western parts did. you had to be able to really be almost a pro toe national figure to win in tennessee going forward. and if congresswoman blackburn wins, it will be the first time we ve had a kind of fox news
