learning after determining there are no visitor logs for the home in delaware. out west, the california weather may finally get a break sometime soon. but not before one last batch of storms moves out this afternoon. we ve got a live report from the state now, under a major disaster declaration. plus, an nbc news exclusive, new reporting on one of next year s cril senate races and trying to unseat sherrod brown in ohio. i m hallie jackson in aurkz. with me is monica alba, capitol hill correspondent ali vitali and former federal prosecutor and political legal affairs columnist rendo mariotti with us as well. the question is not taking questions from reporters on the documents. not all together surprising. but the white house is trying, to it feels, as you have new reporting on the president s mind set on all of this, flex the muscles and point the finger at house republicans to say why didn t you care when donald trump did this and you care what is happening in a different s
making the case, that if voters stick with him, that he will try to at least give voice to and push for these other things that he wasn t able to accomplish in the first two years in office and very unlikely to be able to accomplish in the next two years. carol lee, outside of the washington, live for us there, thanks. and an nbc news exclusive out of ohio where a really important 2024 senate race is getting interesting, even now, even this early, and long time democratic senator sherrod brown, with the first republican challenger, and matt dolen who plans to launch another run for u.s. senate sometime this week, according to a voice mail obtained by nbc news and when dolan appears to make things officially official is still tbd. let s bring in reporter john allen. in the voice mail that dolan was left on the phone of a ohio gop official, expecting another crowded primary in 2024. what does that mean? what does that look like? and why does that matter? a great question, hallie.
a loss. and i think there are two main takeaways here. one is, as you said, john, there are a lot of questions. does this actually diminish trump s status as kingmaker? it s way too early to tell. one thing i want to point out, last week in ohio and this week here in west virginia and nebraska, three names. matt dolen in ohio, david mckinley, and brett lindstrom. these are three republicans who are not in any way anti-trump, they just don t agree with him oempk. they are not even moderate republicans, but it shows you they came in third. mckinley losing by that huge margin and lindstrom coming in third. this shows you the direction that the republican party is going in. and likely what we re going to see more of is that trump-backed support, that trumpian agenda and agreeing with him on all fronts. these are not anti-trumpers, they just didn t agree with him on everything, and they lost by wide margins. kristen holmes in west virginia, thank you so much for setting the table for us t

donald trump. no, new no, no, i love him more. i have trump tattooed on my rear end. it s okay, we get it. what s your record? the only gop rival who didn t seek the endorsement said it s time for republicans to move on. i hope this election when i win is about that people begin to understand that you can run on ideas. many republicans are keeping a close eye on matt dolen. the establishment candidate who didn t seek the former president s endorsement. of course every other candidate did and they are dividing some of the support amongst themselves. for trump, it s the biggest bet he s made in the 2022 midterm elections. but every tuesday in the month of may he ll be tested a new. with his endorsement facing primary challenges here in ohio, pennsylvania, georgia and beyond. the former president weighing in deeply. we ll see if the republican base responds. cnn, columbus, ohio. thanks for spending part of
