Forget about one of, probably the most stunning primary up sets in recent history. House majority leader eric cantor taken down by Tea Party Challenger david brat in virginia. A political newcomer. A nobody, i mean, nobody saw this coming. Brat now to be fair, he had predicted an upset for himself, but even he was shocked watching the results come in making it more head rattling, this race was a blowout. We have complete coverage and analysis of how this happened, why it happened, why what its going to mean for the gop Going Forward with chief Congressional Correspondent dana bash. Dana . Brook and chris, this is a town numb from shock. Nobody saw this coming. Not even the conservative who beat eric cantor. The reason we won this calm parn reason, dollars not vote, you do. Reporter an upset shaking washington and rattling Congress Republicans to their core. Eric cantor losing his primary to a little known conservative challenger, economics professor david brat. Its disappointing, sure. But i believe in this country. I believe theres opportunity around the next corner for all of us. Reporter the number two republican in the house was widely considered and preparing to be the next speaker of the house following john boehner. Hi, im david brat. Im running for the United States congress. Reporter even brat himself told cnn he didnt think he would pull off a win with a war chest of only 300,000 compared to cantors 5 million. Cantor learned firsthand that money doesnt buy enthusiasm and the grass roots in his virginia district were determined to take the establishment republican down. Eric cantor is trying to buy this election with Corporate Cash from los angeles to new york. Hes acting as a conservative in public while working behind the scenes to deliver open borders for large corporations. Reporter brats main case against cantor was support for legal status for illegal immigrant children, the socalled dreamers. And his public pledge to help the president in doing so. It is time to provide an opportunity for legal residents and citizenship for those who are brought to this country as children and who know no other home. Reporter cantor is considered one of the most conservative members of the house gop leadership but he had been thinking like a party leader trying to broaden the gops appeal. After the Government Shutdown that divided House Republicans cnn learned he admonished rank and file to unite. You addressed your caucus and basically said, come on, guys, we have to stop eating our own. Well, i think the message that i was about was saying, look, the differences that may exist between us pale in comparison to the differences that we have with the president and his policies. Reporter now, cantor can deckically still try to run for a seat as a writein candidate but im told its highly unlikely hes going to take that route. He will likely serve out his term this year and jockeying is already begin for his number two slot in the house. Wow right . This is going to have some serious ramifications and repercussions. To help break it down, the stunning primary dedpefeet or w depending on how you look at it, kevin madden, democratic strategist paul begala. What does this mean for you party . How did this happen in a way that no one saw coming. Yeah, this was a shock. I mean, if you can imagine that the media shocked, imagine how many republicans are shocked this morning. The reason this is such a big deal is no sit mag jority leader has ever lost an election before. Never mind a primary election. But i think i think we do have to remember that this is a Congressional District down in virginia. It doesnt say a whole lot more about a broader national electorate. What this says is that a candidate down in virginia 7 who was part of the Party Leadership may have lost touch with his district. And as we all know and i think all paul can also attest to this, elections are like jobber viewses for candidates. If you show up late youre not going to get the job. That was one of the problems here with this campaign, i think, is that eric cantor saw this coming too late and wasnt able to go out and get ahead of it the way other leaders in the party who face primaries this year like Mitch Mcconnell and john boehner did and ended up winning their primaries. As were all waking up and shock faced seeing all of this, my question really this could go to either of you, reading multiple articles, New York Times talks about the dollar figure, 5. 4 million by the cantor campaign, 200,000 from the brat but they compare the state house visits from eric cantors camp. Thats almost as much as what brat spent. Who is dave brat . Go ahead, paul. Yeah, hes a professor of economics. Thats not important. What he is is a messenger. He has been sent by tea party republicans, sent a message. Eric cantor was the most tea Party Friendly of the major leaders in the house of representatives. And yet now he has been consumed by the revolution that he helped. This is not an earthquake. Let me change our seismic metaphor here. Its a sinkhole. It opened up and swallowed one of the most conservative members of the Republican Party because hes not conservative enough. What does this mean though looking ahead not just as far as the legislative agenda on the republican side for the next couple of months, because when you look at eric cantor, seventh district of virginia, he is a conservatives conservative. Where does this shift the party here on out . He is a part of leadership, not the only member of leadership. There are john boehner and others in the party are playing a role with reading the republicans. A lot of people are looking at this lieu tthrough the lens of immigration. Immigration was going to face an up hill challenge regardless of who was the majority leader in the house of representatives. There are big differences between the house and senate approach Going Forward an immigration just as t. Way on how democrats and republicans face this. So i dont think it will have a tremendous impact on the agenda but it will have a tremendous impact on the Leadership Structure on the republican conference. Youve got big inside outside game ramifications here. The insiders, 63,000 votes basically casted here and you couldnt control it, you had your own polling you paid a gazillion dollars for, 34 points. Even the economics professor didnt see this coming, really, though, mr. Brat. Thats the insider speculation. We didnt get this rig. Youve got Lindsey Graham right, you didnt get this right. This is be taking the smile off your boy begalas face, madden, because if this is the message that you took a half step leading with your heart, eric cantor, on immigration, and we wound up slapping your wrist and kicking you out, what does this mean for your administrations ability to do any kind of business with republicans between now and the midterms . Almost none. Youre right. Youre right. In terms kevins right, the republicans werent exactly helping president obama as it is. But i think this is a really dangerous thing for republicans and for america. I fear the lesson that republicans will take from this is never ever compromise. The eric cantor was fuzzy on immigration but he was hammered on that issue by professor brat. I think republicans in congress are going to take the less san that they must never ever, ever compromise. Thats a terrible thing for our party and for our country. This was an upset landslide which almost never happens in campaigns. Sometimes you have an upset, sometimes you have a landslide. Rarely by 12 points by a guy how thought who had no chance. The worst ramification for the country is republicans are never ever,er, ever compromise with this president which means hes going to have to use his executive authority to do something to try to solve the immigration problem. Sinkhole, earthquake, seismic shift. Three evers with never ever, ever, ever, ever. We will stay on this for the rest of the morning for sure. Gentlemen, thank you so much for weighing in at this early hour. Big, big doings in virginia and washington, d. C. And elsewhere. Lets move along because anger and rage starting to boil over after yet another Deadly School shooting in this country. This time it was at Reynolds High School near portland, oregon. 14yearold student is dead, teacher was injured but is expected to survive. The shooter believed to be another student took his own life and now advocates for gun control are asking when enough will actually be enough. Lets begin our coverage the morning with sarah in troutdale, oregon. Sarah, good morning. Good morning, brooke. Yeah, the school has now opened up to let us see what it looks like the morning after we do have to say this gunman went on the rampage in the gymnasium killing a wellliked freshman. Reynolds high school, heard shots fired in the locker room. At least one person down. Reporter tragedy struck this Oregon School just days before the start of summer vacation. Shots ringing out at Reynolds High School just before first period classes began. We heard mr. Dickson come over the intercom and say this is not a drill. We need to go into lock down. Reporter nearly 3,000 students attend this high sch l school. Outside police say a lone gunman harmed with a rifle entered the schools gymnasium building and killed freshman Emilio Hoffman. He was carrying a gun running after one of our teacher, pe teacher. A bloodshot on his back. Reporter s. W. A. T. Teams swarmed the campus locating the shooters body in a bathroom. Moments of the chaos inside captured on police radio. We need the robot inside. Weve got suspect down on the toilet but we cannot see him. Reporter sources tell cnn the unidentified gunman likely died from a selfinflicted wound. Parents anxiously waited for hours to be reunite with their children. Were sure hes okay but, you know, until you hear that until you hear the final word, you know, its a thought. Reporter last night students and parents came together to mourn the young life lost. I think f. You got to know him he was just sweet and always there for you if you needed someone to talk to. Reporter a community struggling to cope with the aftermath of another school shooting. Now, that vigil was a heart wrenching scene. The parents of Emilio Hoffman showed up. They were sobbing throughout as community surrounded them trying to give them as much support as they could. Chris . Everybody is in shock trying to figure out what happens next, what do they do to heal and well be watching it as it continues here. This is the latest shooting. President obama vented about the lack of action after other episodes. Were the only developed country on earth where this happens. And it happens now once a week. Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. Theres no advance developed country on eartha would put up with this. Ive been in washington for a while now. And most things dont surprise me. The fact that 26yearolds were gunned down in the most violent fashion possible and this town couldnt do anything about it was stunning to me. Equally stunning is that we cant figure out what to do about it. Theres Huge Division between people who think its all about guns and then everything else, mental health, culture, what messages our kids get sent. So remedies seem to elude us. Lets bring in Cnns Jim Acosta at the white house with more of the president s response. Specifically, jim, weve had the conversation so much that you dont need to hear the words coming out of my mouth right now to know the question, what comes next . What do you do if youre so sick of it . We all say were sick of it and then nothing really changes that makes a difference. So where do we do . Whats the word from there . Well, i think you heard what the president said in that town hall with tumblr, chris, that the president sees this as one of the biggest frustrations of his presidency so far. After the newtown strategy where they were in favor of universal background checks the congress could note get that passed, the president could not persuade the congress to pass that so were back at square one. This white house, i talked to aides privately about this, they dont know what to do. Unless some sort of big galvanizing event like another newtown, they dont see the prospects on capitol hill to pass Something Like this. You heard the president weigh in on this debate about whether its gun control, whether its guns, whether its mental health, the president saying at one point during this town hall with tumblr, the United States does not have a monopoly on crazy people. He wants to see unions value background checks. Some sort of bun control on capitol hill. The president has been talking about his pen and his phone using his executive actions. Theyve initiated some 20 executive actions over here at the white house to sort of chip away at this problem of mentally ill people getting access to guns. But the president says very honestly and candidly during that town hall, chris, that its just not possible to really put a dent in this issue according to the president , according to this white house, without some sort of legislation passed. And keep in mind as you know, chris, as you just mentioned, weve had mass shooting after mass shooting. We had one at the navy yard, the Washington Navy yard here in washington a couple miles from the white house. So these things continue to happen and its going to be a continuing problem for this president because theyre really powerless at this point to do anything about it ledgislativel. And what you saw last night with eric cantors district, that stunned defeat, theres a price for compromise in washington and this white house knows it. Thanks for that. Theyre going to be hearing from Community Members and parents who Say Something more has got to be done. Lets give a look at the other headlines. We know the identifys now of four that were killed in the tragic case of friendly fire in afghanistan when a Coalition Jet accidentally bombed five Service Members fighting a taliban ambush. Well show you their faces. These men were from washington state, illinois, ohio, and california. They were young men between ages of 19 and 25. Officials in iraq are calling for more help as militants seemingly move closer to baghdad. They have control of mosul and have been engaged in fierce clashes and oil refinery north of the capital. Government forces have started to move into that region to secure baghdads border. A major ruling in california that really could completely change the face of education. A judge struck down the states teacher tenure laws. The court found that the laws violate the states promise of equaled indication for all since they drive the most ineffective teachers to the states poorest School Districts. Similar suits against tenure are expected to appear nationwide after the ruling. You know well dive right into this debate. Its a fierce one and its an important one on new day coming up on the next few hours. A lot of Big Questions facing us right now. So many. A lot about good teachers. Michaela, thank you so much.
