Trump cant quote, turn back the clock on climate progress. Also, things are getting weird in ohio. What voters are saying about the increasingly angry and now kind of strange gop Senate Primary. Let us get to the reporters starting in arizona. Vaughn hillyard is in maricopa county. Bring us up to speed on arizona. Reporter i just talked to kari lake, who is a u. S. Senate candidate, a close ally of donald trump. She just voted at this location behind me for donald trump. Of course that is the only thing on the ballot here in arizona. The next big primary is when she is on the ballot come this august. But you know, i was able to put the question to her about why donald trump and her would be able to pull off wins in november and she said she believes the choice will be stark between her and rubin gaego. I want to let you listen to some voters we talked to today who took part in the republican primary despite donald trump having the nomination wrapped up. Well, for one thing, i dont believe he lost in 20 and i dont believe kari lost in 22. Besides that, hes just the only one, if he does win, is considered really the winner. That can really save the country. I didnt want to vote for trump so i just voted against him. Reporter so you voted in a republican primary. Who did you vote for . Nikki haley. Reporter even though shes out of the race . Why . Because i didnt want to give me vote to trump. Reporter Those Two Folk Rs a good distillation. Its those who are going to decide the election in november. How many of that first woman show up to come vote for trump in november. She told me herself she was an election denier. Or folks like tom, a registered republican. Voted for john mccain over barack obama but told me if nikki haley, who he voted for today, were to have won this republican nomination, he would have voted for nikki haley, but thats not the reality. Instead, its going to be trump and biden. Whos he going to go for in november . Joe biden. Its voters like joe who gave joe biden the win in arizona in 2020 and folks like Arizona DemocraticGovernor Katie Hobbs the win in 2022 over candidates like kari lake. Those are the voters were going to be tracking. Thank you very much. Joining me from capitol hill on the reaction of donald trump accusing jewish democrats of hating their religion is ali vitali. To be clear, anyone whos followed politics now for the last few years will know donald trump has said Something Like this in the past. Its taking on new meaning now. Why . Reporter because of the ongoing situation between israel and palestine but just listen to the comments donald trump made, which youre right, have echoes of controversial statements hes made in the past. Watch. Why do the democrats hate Bibi Netanyahu . I actually think they hate israel. Yes. I think they hate israel. When you see those palestinian marches, even i, im amazed at how many people are in those marches and guys like schumer see that. I think its votes more than anything else because he was always pro israel. Hes very anti israel now. Any jewish person that votes for democrats hates their religion. They hate everything about israel. And they should be ashamed of themselves. Reporter this of course coming against the backdrop of Senator Schumer in recent days saying he didnt think netanyahu was the right person for the job effectively as the head of the israeli state right now, but schumer now reagenting saying to make israel a partisan issue only hurts israel and u. S. Israeli relationship. Now, senators and House Republican lawmakers all get back in town later this afternoon. Were waiting to be able to ask them about this latest twist of trump controversy, but certainly you have to imagine that this might again fall along partisan lines in terms of the reaction. That being said, were going to see what the lawmakers tell us when they get back to town. Thank you very much. Now to las vegas where President Biden just got a big financial boost. A 120 million pledge from a leading progressive climate group. Aaron, walk me through this money and what President Biden will be doing there in nevada later today. Reporter President Biden landed in reno just a few minutes ago making his way from the airport there now to a new Campaign Office thats opening there in the northern part of nevada. This 120 million commitment that you just referenced is coming from the League Of Conservation Voters victory fund. It backs President Bidens efforts hes made, efforts around clean water and air and also historic Climate Legislation that the president has advanced. Their goal is really to back what they say are pro climate and pro democracy candidates from President Biden on down the ballot across the country. Really, this is a part of the coalition that the Biden Campaign has said it needs to build and is building across the country. A few weeks ago, i was in atlanta when the president got the support of black, latino and Pacific Islander organizations to a tune of 30 million to try to advance what the president is presenting across the country. So this is the coalition that President Biden has said hes trying to build and were going to see more of that as the president makes this swing through the southwest. Hes here in nevada today. Hes in reno right now. Hell be here in las vegas later this afternoon before moving on to arizona. Today here in las vegas, hes going to be talking about housing and his proposal to boost Housing Assistance programs and help Home Building by 258 billion before he moves on to arizona where hell talk more about campaign issues. He really thinks in this particular region, he can talk about abortion, immigration, Election Denialism in a way that will resonate with voters. I want you to hear one of the new Campaign Staffers in the reno office thats opening today about why nevada is an area that is right for the president s message. Across the state, especially in rural nevada, smaller on the eastern border of utah and nevada is getting 4 million thanks to President Bidens leadership. Those investments are really having impacts in communities across the state and i think thats the message hes going to deliver here. Reporter and so this afternoon, well hear the president talk about what the American Rescue plan has already done here in clark county in the Las Vegas Area and hell also talk about what he plans to do Going Forward. Hell talk about a mortgage tax credit for homeowners. Hell talk about trying to help renters with expenses theyre seeing build around the country but in this particular area, hell move on to arizona where well see a more Traditional Campaign style stop and hell talk about donald trump by name and hell talk about what he hopes to accomplish with the support of black, latino, and asian voters that the campaign has said theyre not waiting. They dont want those groups to feel theyre an afterthought. Theyre going to engage them now in as many different ways as possible. Aaron gillcrist, love seeing the spear. Does look very cool. Finally to ohio where Candidate Quality is on the ballot. Henry gomez joins us. Henry, walk me through the gop Senate Primary and why its a test of Donald Trumps power of endorsement. Were really seeing some sharply drawn battle lines. Youve got a trump endorsed business man who spent the final days of the Campaign Barn storming the state with maga figures like kari lake, j. D. Vance, the other senator from ohio and trump was here on saturday as youre seeing on Screen Rallying for mourinho, trying to close the deal. They see this as a fight between trumps movement and the old guard republican establishment in ohio. The chief rival for the Republican Senate nomination is a man named matt dolan who hasnt aligned himself tightly with the trump movement. He says he supports trump policies but acknowledges he has personality differences with the former president and dolan has an endorsement from mike dewine who has been cautious of how he approaches trump. Dolan and dewine rallied together last night and they made this case about how you need to send somebody to washington to get results, not somebody who shouts all the time. I asked if he was talking about trump and he said it was more about leaders in washington. This race seems to be a toss up. Thats why weve seen trump, kari lake, ngome. The results tonight are really going to tell us if trumps influence and clout Still Matters in a state he won twice by eight percentage points. I said Candidate Quality because it reminds me of obviously what Mitch Mcconnell said. Saying the candidates of trump, suggesting the candidates trump picks have been so good for the general electorate. I wonder if this is going to be the case here. Theres also news that nbc has confirmed around mourinho being involved in some sort of controversy around adult website. Can you explain that . Its not a story that ive independently verified, but its a story thats come out in recent days, was reported on by the associated press. The campaign denies that it was the candidate himself who set up this account on that website. Its been an intern, a former intern for one of his former Car Dealerships has released a statement saying it was him who created the account as a prank. Weve seen some of the superpac allies of dolan try to make an issue of this in an ad. They sent Cease And Desist letters to tv stations and a lot of them chose not to run the ad. It injected some nastiness into the last days of this campaign. I think what will make the most difference is an ad the National Democrats aligned with Chuck Schumer have been running that highlight his conservative credentials and the Trump Endorsement. Its being interpreted as a Meddling Effort to lift mourinho out because he would be Sherrod Browns opponent in the fall. Really interesting. Thank you so much. And in 60 seconds, former ohio governor, john kasich, joins us on whether its smart politics for democrats to boost Donald Trumps pick for the gop Senate Primary. There he is. Dont go anywhere. Senate primary. There he is. Dont go anywhere. shouting i cant im just telling everyone . Hey see your tax refund go further with buy one get one free at visionworks. See the difference. Students. Students of any age, from anywhere. Students in a new kind of classroom. Using our technology to power different ways of learning. Harnessing ai to plant new beginnings. So when minds grow, opportunities follow. Theres a gop Senate Primary in ohio today that will tell us a lot about Republican Voters want in november. Will it be the trump endorsed former car dealer or the relatively more establishment candidate, matt dolan, who donald trump by the way is attacking as a rhino. In other words, what is the power of a Trump Endorsement in 2024 . It made a big impact on me and i want to support trump. I want to make sure that he has the team in place to be able to actually change law. Probably for president trump, but your free will. I was undecided between bernie and dolan but i ultimately went for matt dolan. I think the Trump Endorsement swayed me away from him. That really doesnt appeal to me. I think that i was already leaning towards bernie before the Trump Endorsement but i think the Trump Endorsement helps to solidify that maybe thats the vein that the republican is going. Joining us now, former republican governor from ohio, of ohio, john kasich, and msnbc political analyst. Thanks for being with us. Why is ohio an interesting test case for donald trump right now . Well, because trump came in here and you know, hes got all these people in here who are big trumpers and so were going to see what happens on that. The thing thats been left out of this is frank larose, the secretary of state. Hes kind of a trumper, too. Didnt start out that way but has become a trumper pretty much. So hes taking some of those votes that would normally go to mourinho because hes a full trumper and probably splitting them a little bit. So youve got two trumpers and one non trumper and i think you know, we have to be careful when we draw conclusions here. In most cases, katy, i dont think endorsements matter that much. Although we see in the case of donald trump, endorsements do matter. Its just an interesting phenomenon and it wont last forever, but its where we live right now. I think of Candidate Quality and this may be moot. There are two trumpy candidates running and they could split the vote and hand things over to the more establishment candidate. When i think about Candidate Quality and those Mitch Mcconnell comments then i think about how democrats want mourinho to win, theyre boosting him, spending a ton of money on an ad campaign thats calling him 2. 7 million on ads highlighting him as the maga republican whos too conservative for ohio. Is he somebody thats easier for democrats to beat . If trump comes into ohio and does well, its really hard for Sherrod Brown to survive. Sherrods a canny politician. Hes going to be formidable but if the tie for trump is as big as it has been in the past then i think sherrods going to have a problem and whoever the republican nominee is, its kind of what happened with vance. Time ryan who ran against vance for the senate ran almost a perfect campaign. The democrats didnt pour a lot of money in there but the tide was such that ryan could not win. The tide is whats the National Situation . The national drift. I dont believe that ohio is like some firmly red state. It may be now, but when i was elected governor, there was only one person in statewide office who was a republican. Right now, were in this moment where it sort of looks red but you mark my words. Down the road, places like cleveland and youngstown, they will start to change and i think it will become a much more competitive state. The question is whats the time period for that to happen. I was going to ask you how far down the road. We dont though. Look, i think trump is a momentary phenomenon. Hes been around for a while. Almost a decade now, governor. Well, i understand that, but you know, he lost the election, too, right, to biden. Hes still having an enormous influence on the party. But im a patient man. You know, i dont think its all about whats going on today or whats going on tomorrow. Its the long haul. I think the Republican Party is sort of out of whack in terms of and in ohio when it normally is or when ohio normally is. Say one other they think about this. None of these candidates have excelled. This is not a race where theres a lot of excitement. Theres, these candidates, when you have trump do an endorsement, hes sort of defining something about moreno. No one knows who he is. These candidates have not caught fire. In that case, endorsements probably matter more, but in terms of where is the long lasting effect of trump . Nobodys going to beat donald trump. He is one politician. In one period of time. You cant imitate the guy. And so i think its kind of in many ways like pink floyd said. Its kind of a momentary lapse of reason. And im not trying to be overly critical. People like trump, god bless them, but to me, it is like a momentary lapse of reason. Youre familiar with that album. I definitely am. Dark side of the moon. Hope its dark side of the moon. Im throwing it out there. Ask me well, it is kind of the dark side of the moon, actually, these days, but the light will come up. The sun will shine. I think the party is in great flux. I dont think that the Republican Party is a party that is for all these and normally in modern times, for all these trade barriers. Theyre not isolationists. They have been in the past, but i dont think thats where the party is over time. When trumps not around to stoke it, you tell me who takes his place because i dont see them and i dont think theyre going to have the influence that he has. Its a unique moment in time. All right, john kasich, im going to surrender the flow. Ill allow you to go to the dark side of the moon. Former governor of ohio, john kasich, thank you very much. Thank you. If you know, you know.
