[ cheers and applause ] this morning, the most expensive house race ever is coming down to the wire. how have the last 24 hours been? >> exciting. there's huge energy here. >> reporter: democrat john ossoff pulling neck and neck with karen handel in georgia sixth direct. >> about the integrity and the competence of this administration. >> reporter: this suburban mom says one reason she supports ossoff is hillary clinton's defeat. >> our way of apologizing for not paying attention. and just assuming that everything would be okay. and now, we're awake. >> reporter: the president tweeting his support for handel, who is slamming ossoff for living just outside the sixth district and for his out-of-state donors. >> a squirrel is going to get a decent percentage of the vote if he has $30 million behind him. >> reporter: this volunteer says handel's experience makes her the obvious choice. >> i know she stands for family values. >> reporter: the last-minute push after a fringe political action committee released this stunni stunning ad, tying ossoff supporters to the shooting at the congressional baseball practice. >> when will it stop? it won't, if john ossoff wins on tuesday. >> reporter: both candidates have denounced the ad. but this gop official says rejecting extremism is one reason that handel might win. >> i think ossoff is tied to extreme liberal folk ts. >> reporter: he's glad both candidates denounced that ad. but this race has turned bizarre and heated at times. handel has said she received a white powder and a threatening letter at her home last week. the fbi is investigating. this has been a bizarre race. and today's the big day. >> gabe, thank you very much. nicolle, let's bring you back in. the expression, follow the money. you look at the amount of money being spent on both sides of this race by democrats and republicans. it tells you what they think's at stake. what is at stake? >> what is at stake, is bragging rights. and special elections, we project on to them more than necessary. when scott brown won in 2010, he won a special election. republicans told a national story of anti-obama momentum as a result of that health care bill. expect the side to tell a national story about the president or acceptance of his penchant for disrupting business as usual in washington. >> republicans need to hold this seat. this is a republican district, though president trump barely won in particular district. on the other hand, democrats can't keep saying, we came closer than anyone expected. they need to get some real victories if they're going to try to have a threat of taking the house back. >> they do. but you have to look at the places where they've come up short. so far, they've closed, i think, with 20 points in kansas. came closer than they've ever come this is a very red state. even though it's a swing district, it would be a symbolic victory for democrats if they can pick off a congressional district in georgia. >> nicolle wallace. thank you very much. also this morning, new controversy over the republicans' push to overhaul health care. it's one of the most important pieces of legislation of the trump presidency. with gop lawmakers crafting it in secret, democrats staged an overnight protest on capitol hill. nbc's white house correspondent kristen welker has that story. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, matt. good morning to you. senate republicans say they could have an outline of their health care proposal as early as wednesday, aiming for a vote by the july fourth recess. but republicans have been working behind closed doors, exactly what they accused democrats of doing when they crafted obamacare. now, democrats are ready to declare war. >> you're fighting back. we're fighting back. >> reporter: overnight, democrats staging a dramatic talk-a-thon on the senate floor, threatening to hold up all business unless the republicans open up their health care talks to the public. senate minority leader chuck schumer accusing republicans of concealing a bill that hurts the middle class. >> the republicans are writing their health care bill under the cover of darkness because they're ashamed of it. >> reporter: the republican majority leader firing back. >> obamacare is collapsing around us. americans are searching for relief. >> reporter: democrats taking turns, tearing into the gop. >> i say to the republican leadership, what are you afraid of? bring that bill out. >> there's no markup. there's no committee hearings. just 13 dudes. >> if this bill were as wonderful as its proponents would like us to believe, it would be out in the open. >> reporter: republicans under fire, after promising to repeal and replace obamacare for eight years. the biggest sticking point, medicaid. conservatives want to spend less while moderates want more coverage for low-income families. adding pressure, the president telling senate republicans, the bill passed by the house is mean because of its limited coverage, after he praised the legislation in the rose garden. >> this is a real plan. this is a great plan. >> reporter: still, the white house trying to keep the focus on health care and the rest of the president's agenda, with the russian probe looming large. meanwhile, there could be some changes coming here at the white house. an official says press secretary and communications director sean spicer could leave the podium and take on a more strategic role. there's no timeline or decision. spicer made headlines on a matter, though, saying the president could release details by the end of this week, as to whether there's tapes with his conversations with james comey. >> a lot of interest in that one. a lot of reaction to something else that happened at the white house on monday. jared kushner, president trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, made his first public remarks since joining the administration. today he begins an important trip to the middle east. chief correspondent hallie jackson has more on that story. >> reporter: good morning to you. it wasn't so much what jared kushner said but that he said it at all, after five months in the administration, making his most high-profile public comments in the white house. in one of the projects he's most involved in, overhauling the government bureaucracy. and today, he leaves for the middle east. another piece of the portfolio for somebody who's almost always in the room but rarely center stage. often seen but rarely heard until now. >> very exciting. >> reporter: jared kushner, one of the most important voices in the president's ear, using that voice at the white house. and that made plenty of noise, even trending on twitter. >> from the private sector. >> reporter: as kushner made his most high-profile public appearance yet. >> seriously, what does his voice sound like? >> reporter: the president's soft-spoken but high-powered son-in-law talking tech with some of the biggest names in the industry. >> many of our federal systems are decades' old. >> reporter: one of kushner's roles, to reinvent government. >> the department of defense uses eight-inch floppy discs. >> reporter: may be nothing compared to his next challenge. >> in f you can't produce peace in the middle east, nobody can. >> reporter: this week we may begin to find out. kushner, a family friend of the prime minister -- >> can we ask how long we've known you? >> reporter: leaves today for a trip to middle east to jump-start high-stake talks, on peace that has evaded both parties since before the 36-year-old was born. >> i think we're going to make a deal. >> reporter: a white house official acknowledges any peace agreement would take time. cautioning, this is the first of what will probably be many trips to the region by kushner and others, working closely with secretary of state rex tillerson and national security adviser h.r. mcmaster. still, skepticism by some. >> i don't think it can be solved by sending someone who knows little of the region. >> reporter: kushner and advisers are set to hold talks separately with benjamin netanyahu and abbas this week. a sign his portfolio is not diminishing. kushner has come under scrutiny in the special counsel's russia investigation. >> hallie jackson, thank you. a lot of stories we want to tell you about. tensions running high in europe after a string of terrorist attacks. in paris, a man was killed when he rammed a car loaded with weapons into a police convoy. and in london, a suspect has been charged in that van attack on pedestrians outside of a mosque. nbc chief global correspondent has the latest on that. bill, good morning. >> reporter: police are still questioning the man who admits carrying out this attack. and people in this diverse and tolerant city are questioning, too, when this wave of terror attacks will end. but the fear isn't just here because this is a tale of two cities. two capitals, two vehicles used as weapons. but two very different attackers. in paris, a man known to police as an extremist used his car to ram a police van on the city's famed champs-elysees. he died in the vehicle they found gas canisters. in london, a man unknown to police used his van to plow down worshipers. police prepared to charge him with terrorism. he was darren osbourne from wales, a father of four that didn't appear on any extremist watch list. he had, it seems, one motive. >> he said i wanted to kill muslims. >> reporter: and he drove from his home in wales to do it. renting the van and driving 175 miles to north london. his family said he wasn't racist. it was a muslim imam who protected him from being beaten. >> by god's grace, we managed to surround him and to protect him from any harm. >> reporter: united against all terror, once again, in london there are messages of defiance and resilience. but many muslims here have told me they now feel very unsafe. >> it makes you think like, if that's happening something where we're supposed to be safe, where is safe? >> london is a resilient city. we are the greatest city in the world. >> reporter: the flowers grow and london carries on. but so, too, do the terror attacks. four attacks in britain in three months now. and even though the family of this attacker say he was a troubled man, police are questioning him about terrorism, not about a hate crime. matt? savannah? >> bill neely, thank you so much. now, to the extreme weather that faces tens of millions of people today. al, the storm last night in this area. i think i saw dorothy and toto fly by my window. >> it was crazy. that's calmed down. now, we have two big stories to talk about. a possible tropical storm affecting the gulf. and we have the brutal heat out west. we're going to look at the tropical storm system that would become cindy. it's 345 miles south-southeast of morgan city, louisiana. 40 mile-per-hour winds. it's moving northwest at eight. it's not so much the landfall we're worried about. the heaviest rain is to the east of the system. and so, we do have tropical storm warnings stretching from cameron, louisiana, all the way to the mississippi/alabama border. cameron, texas. we're looking in -- i meant louisiana. i'm sorry. what we are looking at is this system bringing heavy rain over an area that already has gotten anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of rain in the last couple of weeks. and so, the rainfall amounts here, locally, 8 to 10 inches to 12 inches of rain could cause massive flooding. and the heat. phoenix's all-time record, 122. we should see 120 in phoenix. 114 in tucson. yuma, 121. palm springs, 121. las vegas will get to 116. and in phoenix, they canceled flights for american airlines. once that heat gets going, the pilots don't have what they need in their manuals to tell them how to fly above 122 degrees. so, it will be very interesting there. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.
