So the top two finishers yet to go forward get to go forward. It wasnt clear for republicans that they would have anyone at the top of the ticket so they could drive out support for their candidates in november. Now it looks like certainly for governor, there a t the top of the ticket. A businessman, john cox will be there. Then on the senate side, he will face gavin newsom. On the senate side, diane fine seen would face Kevin De LeonDianne Feinstein would face Kevin De Leon or jim bradley, not well known from laguna miguel. That will come to play. The bigger question for the house of representatives, there were ten seats that democrats nationwide were targeting. Seven of those districts that Hillary Clinton won where republicans were serving. It wasnt clear because of the mad rush of democrats into all of those races and you had the top ten top two primary system that the vote was so split among so many races that it wasnt clear that a democrat would advance in a now attacks pierce that democrats would now it appears that democrats would advance in all of strict, 39th district, and the 48th district. There are democrats vying for the numbertwo spot or very close numbers betwe democrats and republicans. You see Dana Rohrbacher will advance. Harley rouda and Hans Keirstead fighting it out. Scott baugh, wellknown republican orange county, coming up on the back side. He may end up getting enough votes. Because we dont know what the final vote is i california. What happens here, two things happened yesterday. In l. A. County, there were 118,000 people left off the roles here. They had to fill outer ballots at the polling station. It will take time to count those. The other thing, early voting and mailin ballots. A lot of people walk to their polling station on ele day,drop. All those have to be counted. It will take days if not weeks to get through it. California, simple,traight rwar. Nothings ever complicated in california. Never. Thank you very much.

In new jersey, mikey sherri sherrill, navy vet and former prosecutor, leading in the 11th district has more than twice the total of the leading republican jay weber. Joining us to talk about this, in portland, oregon, senior political analyst ron brownstein, Senior Editor at the. Good morning, good evening. Were not sure if you stayed up. Were on the boundary. Good morning. Okay, lets talk about this blue wave that was souch anticipated. Again, to go through the numbers that miguel mentioned, 23 needed to flip the house. Ten were competitive in california. Seven districts won by Hillary Clinton. How essential is California Democrats hopes to retake the house . It is central. Overall it was a good night for democrats in the house. They got all of the candidates they wanted in new jersey which could have as many as four turnover opportunities for them. They had a record turnout in iowa. Potentially the highest primary rnout they eve had. In california, as miguel said, although it could go the other two of the districts the one or likelihood now is that they will not get locked out of any of the targeted seats which and you therebo one, two, or three in orange county. You know, of the night, if y look at it, the preference for democratic female candidates continues in most cases. Both of their iowa nominees, both of their new mexico nominees, you mentioned new jersey. The former the former pr. And in california, against steve knight and mimi walters, two of the other republicans in districts that Hillary Clinton carried, they also chose female nominees over male opponents. So banking i think very heavily on the gender gap come is real at this point about donald trump and showing the gop. Overall, democrats i think got almost everything they wanted out of tuesday night with the possible exception of not getting the onetwo. And the 48th and 10th, well watch that for a while, keep an eye on it. You talk about the role exciting women candidates who did well last night. And so that is in part, you know, that is against donald trump. That is a movement against donald yes. Right. When you look within the republicans, though, for example, john cox, came up and did wellause of support from donald trump. It depends on what party youre in. Trump plays both ways. Absolutely. First of all, the weve talked about this before. I think the gender gap is overrated. Historically there are other factors that matter more. Married versus single, College Verse s noncollege. It is real under donald trump. I was looking and the weekly gallup average, they poll every night, donaltrumps Approval Rating among all women is 12 points lower than his Approval Rating among men. Democrats have been polling better than at any point in the past 25 years in the generic ballot for congress. They are key to hopes for november. One thing i wonder about a lot is whether the female candidates are going to help democrats do better than the first female major pty nominee did among bluecollar white women. The big reason donald trum isresident is because he won so many working class white women, particularly in the midwest. Can democrats do better. On the flip side, youre right, look, the republican opposition, the resistance in the Republican Party to donald trump has collapsed as an electoral phenomenon. He is a powerful figure in the party. Remains a deeply polarizing figure in the country. You have republican candidates who are being pulled almost magnetically toward her, particularly on immigration. The hard line on immigration has become common among republican candidates. Well see that in california in a race that is generally most analysts consider over as of today for the governorship. Its a number ive mentioned Donald Trumps at 87 with his own party. The second highest number gallup has tracked since 9 11. Were on the verge of a major breakthrough on the korean peninsula. Has the resistance collapsed, or is donald trump turning the tide, and people are waking up to say things are pretty good in this country now . Republicans agree with his policies overall. He is getting the benefit of the good economy to some extent among the generalelectorate. He himself, the way he conducts himself, the way he approaches the presidency, there are no set of policy accomplishments that can completely erase those concerns. And the polarization around that. You know, again, as we saw yesterday, there is still a lot of energy in the democratic opposition to donald trump. There were a lot of people voting yesterday. You know, we saw that record turnout in iowa. He is still somewhere in the low id 40s. Because of his success among republicans, as ive written, i think this is becoming a more conventional midterm. It appears that the hopes of democrats early on, t ks of the republican coalitld shear off away from donald trump almost like, you know, an iceberg going into the ocean. Thats not going to happen it doesnt look like. If they are going take back the house, they have to solve their usual midterm problem, turning out more latino voters, more africanamerican voters, more young voters whose participation tends to fall off in the midterm. Some mixed signals from california on that, by the way. Look, what is what is is the Democratic Party for . What are the democrats for in 2018, not just what are they resisting against. I think that some of the excitement among some of the Democratic Women who did well last night is that despite what seems to be a party that doesnt have a mission at the moment except for antitrump, theres some excitement among the individual women who are running, ron. Absolutely. The closest thing to a mission i think that theyve articulated and probably their best asset in terms of the kind of voters i was talking about fore, bluecollar women, is hea care, is protecting health care. Both both that was in iowa. I think if you return the republican majority with the possibility of expanding in the senate because of where the contests are that they will come back and try again to r aca, t mention go after medicare down the road to pay for their tax cut. I think that is probably the singlemost effective policy argument that democrats will have. I still think that the overriding energy here is the idea that trump is just barreling through, so many norms of the way the president conducts himself in terms of his attitude toward federal law enforcement, the way he talks about race, the way he talks about opponents in society. And that republicans in congress are not providing any real oversight or check or constraint. That is the engine on the democratic side in terms of their turnout. They have to find the policy argument for the voters. So far health care is by far their best arrow in the quiver. You really see two totally different types of democrats when youre seeing progressives and conservative deats. Its hard to find one overarching narrative. Well check back in about 30 minutes.

Im christine romans. 31 minutes past the hour. Overnight, the biggest test so far in democrats efforts to retake the house, the california primary. Democrats have been worried about the states top two jungle primary system, concerned that too many Democratic Candidates could split the vote, shutting them out of districts they hope to flip this fall. There is already some evidence that may be the case. One big contest has been settled. The race for california governor. A republican has made it on to the ballot which could certainly help with down ballot races come november. Miguel marquezn los anles. How significant is the gubernatorial number for republicans . Reporter for republicans, it is very significant. They werent sure they were going to have anybody at the top of the ticket here across california. For the watch word, the watch phrase for california is who is number two. John cox, a businessman, will face former San Francisco mayor gavin newsom for the governors race. They may also have a candidate facing feinstein, senator feinstein for the senate, the race for number two there is sclo close between Kevin De Leon and jim bradley, a chief Financial Officer of the company. Democrats had targeted ten seats across california, remember theres 53 house seats in california. 14 held by republicans. Democrats are targeting ten. Seven of those are districts that Hillary Clinton won. Hoping to flip them. There were so Many Democrats that came into the races because of the toptwo system, they spread out the vote, split the vote so much, there was concern that they werento make it. Itooks like in all those races a democrat will advance. There are still some questions out there. Certainly the 10th, jeff denham. A close race for number two in that race. In the 48th. The Dana Rohrbacher race. He will advance. Theres a tight race between number two, three, and four. Two democrats and a republican who are duking it out for second place in the 48th. All of this could take days or weeks to figure out. In l. A. County, there were 118,000 people left off the ballot. They had to fill out provisional ballots which will take time to count. The other thing that happens in california is people walk in with their mailin ballots, slip them in a box. Th to be opened, separated, ensure theyre the correct ballots, and counted. That takes days and weeks. Clear as mud in california. Back to you. Love that. Thank you very much for that. In other results, cnn projects deb holland has won the primary for new mexicos first congressional district. Putting her on track to become the first native American Woman in congress.

In alabamas second district, republican martha roby forced into a runoff next month with former democratic congressman bobby bright who ran as a congressman. Roby dropped her support of President Trump in 2016 in the wake of the access hollywood tape. In new jersey,mikie sherrill, navy vet and former federal prosecutor, leading the democratic primary in the 11th district. She has more than twice the total of the leading republican, jay weber. She raised significant money. 2. 9 million, i think, there. Well bring senior political analyst ron brownstein. What do you see here . You mentioned how you saw women. M mikie sherle a good example, doinging it well. Overall mikie sherrill, a good example, doing it all. They got the candidates they wanted in all of the contested races in new jersey. New jersey may ultimately flip as many seats as california. Although we focus more on california for obvious reasons. They had record tu iowa. And in california, as miguel said, while there are still votes to be counted it appears as of now they may have avoided what seemed almost certain come is getting locked out of one or two or even potentially three of the seats that they were targeting for this fall under the toptwo primary system in california, which isnt accurately described as a primary at all. Something of a hybriden th chaos of a primary and the consequences of a general election. I wonder if voters will look at it again. They basically got what they wanted out of the ection. Particularly california, you we dont often bargain give credit to the Party Campaign committees. The Campaign Committee takes from Party Activists when they do or dont intervene in races. They threw the kitchen sink at trying to avoid s in california. And ifact, this holds and they did avoid some, nthey have to take some of the credit. They are hoping to flip some or all of the seven districts that Hillary Clinton carried. Yeah. If they can get seven or five, thats of the those needed to take control of the house, how significant are their efforts in california, and are youy of blue wave weve discussed . Yeah. Mixed signals on that. First of all, i think one thing thats striking to me is how many of the 23 seats, how big share of them, they can win back in states that are essen blue. At the republican holdo in states that have become more democratic at the president ial level. And if you look at new york, new jersey, illinois, minnesota, california, and the suburban seats around philadelphia which have been reliably democratic since clinton in 1992, that would take you almost all the way, potentially all of the way, toward the 23. Part of this, a big part, is finding ways to purge out a beat. Republicans in the red pockets of otherwise blue places. Theyre not going to win all secretary seven in the places Hillary Clinton won. In many cases, democrats have not won any other statewide contest in congressional districts in the last several years. Several are challenging. They got through in some ways the biggest roiskisk on a numbe them. Which as you point out, the possibility that the large democratic fields could splinter the vote. Now when you at places like in california, inrange county, the seats being vacated by retiring republicans ed royce and darrell issa, the Dana Rohrbacher seat where hes an incumbent, got 30 of the votes, those are opportunities. Steve knight in the 25th. As we talked about, in a number of cases and in iowa, new jersey, and new mexico, the trend of democrats banking on female candidates continues big time. The gender gap can be overrated historically in different ways. In year it looks like a phenomenon. Thats where democrats are putting chips on the hopes of taking back the house. Lets talk about the Gubernatorial Race in cafornia. You know, it shows you how valuable a couple of tweets from the president can be in a party where like 87 approval of the president among republicans. Look at antonio villaraigosa, a surprise there. John cox, beneficiary of a couple of tweets from the president of the united states. And just leapfrogged above villaraigosa. And also, interestingly, had it was the beneficiary of a lo of spending by gavin newsom. This was the big debate among democrats. Onne had most National Democrats arguing that the party would have been better off with newsom and villaraigosa in the final two. That would have kept out any republican. There would have been no republican here to drop out. He other hand, you would have had a first latino, you know, with potential to governor, and that could have increased latino turnout in california. Most National Democrats thought a democrat democrat race was better. Newsom very strenuously argued the opposite. Obviously he said its in his interest to be facing cox in the general because he has so much of a greater likelihood, certainly to win in the general. But newsom argued that the democrat democrat race would lead to money being spent on an inextra party fight. That intraparty fight. That it would be better between him and a republican. He spent a lot of money promoting trying to tear down villaraigosa which succeeded. Well see the road test of his argument that the party is better off if hes facing cox instead of villaraigosa. Speakingraparty feuds, what is the message that democrats are taking to the voters . Are they split on what type of candidate they want to see, progressive or conservative connor lamm type of democrat . Look, you are never going to get skins oh that all across the consistency on that all across the country. Districts are different. Sure. I think andre there are definitely different shadings. You look even, you look even last night at the seat against mimi walters, the more progressive sanders warrenesque candidate won in irvine. Those differences will be there. I think in practice, you may not see as much differentiation in what they are trying to sell to voters. The closest thing democrats have gotten to a message for the midterm is around health care. The idea that if you return republicans to congress, they will take another run at repealing the Affordable Care act. The actions the president is taking is resulting in premium increases that weve seen in a number of states. And that the tax cut will eventually require them for any kind o sanity to go after medicare and medicare again. What drives the election from the point of view of democrats is the notion that republicans in congress after initially when donald trump was elected trying to take on a more independent posture toward him, have really abandoned any notion of oversight or check or constraint. And i think the core question before voters, although Democratic Candidates are probably not going to articulate this and emphasize it in advertising, is do you want to give an unfettered hand to the president , or do you wanto reimpose someind of check on a president on whose policies people may agree. Some people may like. But whose temperament still leaves many voters uncertain. Interesting. I think the iowa turnout is interesting. Some of the counties, ron, say the turnout was bigger among democrats in 2006. Remember they minted a guy nobody heard of, barack obama, essentially elevating h to what would become the presidency. I dont know what to make of it yet. Theres a lot of energy happening in places like iowa right now. More stateflips, as well, last the turnout amongrats is you have two mixed signals on the macro level. Thank you very much.
