A few hours ago he was in spokane. Many republicans continue to question whether or not they will fully unite behind mr. Trump ahead of a big washington meeting on capitol hill next week between the presumptive nominee and the Party Leaders. Dan springer is live in lyndon, washington, with the rally about to be held with more on Todays Campaign development. Hi, dan. Reporter hi. We have seen no attempt at unity yet from donald trump as he makes his way through the Pacific Northwest. He had a rally last night in eugene. Another in spokane this morning. Now hes got one here coming up. If anything, hes looking more like hes taking a victory lap as hes become the presumptive nominee with the big victory in indiana. He is going after his rivals and also the Party Leaders who have not yet gotten behind him after he got the presumptive nominee status. In fact, in particular hes going after jeb bush and lindsey graham, who along with him signed a pledge remember this back when they were 17 candidates, say they would eventually all get behind the nominee. Listen. He signed a pledge and the pledge says we will guarantee well endorse everything else. I signed it. So jeb bush is not an honorable person. Lindsey graham is not an honorable person. Reporter trump picked up another endorsement from a coach today. Washington State University football coach, mike leach. He started his most pointed attack on Hillary Clinton and her husband, former president bill clinton, calling him the worst president ever in how he treated women. Even got impeached over the issue and he called hillary a mean, nasty, enabler. Trump continues to draw huge crowds he has a big one here in lyndon and drawing a loft protesters outside here at this event. There are hundreds of people outside Holding Signs and shouting at the supporters as they file into this event. But they are being separated by a street. So there is no violence. Last night in eugene, there was some violence. There were a couple of assaults. But no arrests made in eugene. Mainly pretty peaceful protest for the most part. Again, were expecting donald trump to take the stand momentarily and give another victory lap speech as he winds his way through the primary season. May 24 is the primary here in Washington State. 44 delegates up for grabs. He figures to get the lions share. Arthel. Back to you. Ill take it. In 20 minutes well have the interview with peter king with the interview with speaker ryan. Yeah. There is a big some republicans are less than thrilled about donald trump as the partys presumptive nominee. But democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton doesnt seem to be bothered by it. In fact, shes hoping to work it to her advantage. Rich edson is live with that part of the story. Reporter hello. Republicans for hillary. Its an initiative Hillary Clintons campaign is launching. Clinton wants to persuade republicans opposed to donald trump to vote for her. Clinton is also shifting more of her focus to attacking trump, speaking in oakland, california last evening, clinton spent much of her speech criticizing her likely general election opponent. Donald trump has doubled down on his intention to deport 11 or 12 million americans and even now talk being what he calls a deportation force. Can you imagine the police and military action inside our borders . Reporter despite her shift to the general election, senator Bernie Sanders is reminding voters he is still in the race. He says he plans to continue campaigning through the final democratic primary. There are nine states left. We think we have a good shot to win West Virginia on tuesday, kentucky and oregon the next week and we think we can win in california. So were gonna fight for every remaining vote in the next nine states. Reporter though clinton captured nearly 95 of the delegates she needs to clinch the democratic president ial nomination. After winning todays caucus in guam, she has 2229 delegates. Sanders has just 1453. To win the nomination, a candidate needs 2383 delegates. Neither is campaigning publicly today. Sanders speaks tomorrow at rutgers university. Democrats in West Virginia vote tuesday. Sanders leads in polling there. Democrats vote later this month in kentucky, oregon. Thats ahead of june 7 delegate heavy primaries in california and new jersey. Arthel and eric, back to you. Rich, thanks. Learned that crooked hillary, along with her friend you know, shes got this goofy friend named Elizabeth Warren. Shes on her twitter rant. Shes a goofus. Shes a goofus. So you ever see her . I mean, this woman, shes a basket case. By the way, shes done nothing in the United States senate. Donald trump not mincing words about what he calls that goofus, massachusetts democratic senator Elizabeth Warren. The probable republican president ial nominee lashing out against the left leaning senator yesterday as you saw. It all started with a few twitter posts. Doug mckelway looks at the clash of words and ideologies between mr. Trump and who some consider a possible democratic Vice President ial pick. Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren tore loose on twitter, accusing him of racism, sexism. Enaphobia and far civil. Two weeks earlier after he was asked about another war on tweet shot, he fired this shot. Also Elizabeth Warren today on social media went after you calling you a loser. How who . The indian . Reporter for trump, who thrives off of detecting weakness and pouncing, senator warren is a target rich environment. From 1986 to 1995, she listed herself as a minority in the association of american law schools directory. Harvard law school cited her Indian Heritage against criticism it lacked a diverse faculty. Her recipe in a cookbook became the subject of definition after saying it was plagiarized from a New York Times cookbook. I think shes a fraud. I think her entire success and academia and in politics is based on a lie that she is a native american. Shes not a native american. There is no proof whatsoever that she is. Reporter Warrens Office did not respond to our request for an interview. Her allies says she relishes the fight. The more donald trump takes the bait and attacks Elizabeth Warren and thrusts Elizabeth Warren to the center of the national dialogue, the better for Hillary Clinton, because the issues Elizabeth Warren are fighting for are overwhelming popular with general election voters. Shes been certainly getting on twitter more and more and more and criticizing trump almost like shes the pit bull for the democratic party. Yeah. I think that Hillary Clinton has given her instructions. Shes gonna put on her war won get and go out and attack donald trump. Reporter one of the ironies of this fight is that the two are vying, at least in part, for the same voters. Blue collar workers and swing state independents. Trump pulling right with promises of more coal, less regulation. Warren pulling left with a call for more government safety nets, more regulation. In washington, doug mckelway, fox news. More u. S. Marines are now in place to help secure the u. S. Embassy in baghdad. The move comes after major protests in the past month led by shiite cleric alsadr. Last week hundreds of his supporters stormed the green zone, breaking into the parliament building. They have demanded changes to the government thats deadlocked by the ongoing political crisis. A u. S. Defense official telling fox news more than two dozen u. S. Marines have now arrived. It comes after a request from the u. S. Ambassador for more Rapid Response protection at the facility. In germany, thousands of protesters challenging chancellor Angela Merkel and her refugee policies. This was the scene in berlin as police in riot gear tried to keep the peace between the protesters and the counter demonstrators who are chanting slogans. Some even throwing beer bolts. No more than a million migrants crossed into germany as a result of the continuing humanitarian crisis in syria. Of course, the rampaging of isis all prompting security concerns about that influx. Those worries heightened after the reports of widespread sexual assaults on new years eve in cologne, more than 1,000 allegedly, by young migrant men, who arrived recently.

Though they are now experiencing some success fighting it near Fort Mcmurray, the city hardest hit. They expect to have a very good handle within the Community Within the next month or two. That time frame gives awe sense of the shear enormity of this blaze. Before today, this fire was about 17 times the size of manhattan, new york, at 390 square miles.

Reevacuation effort continues for 25,000 residents who initially fled north only to be air lifted and convoyed back south through the charred city because of the unpredictable direction of this fire. In Fort Mcmurray where some 1600 structures, mostly homes, have been burned to the ground, just look at this video captured by home surveillance camera. James oreilly and his wife watched this happen on their iphone app. Their home in Fort Mcmurray and belongings completely destroyed. No one who is not a trained First Responder with a specific job to do should be in Fort Mcmurray. A mandatory Evacuation Order still applies every in the city. It will be for some time to come.

Bryan llenas, thank you very much for that report. This comes as a fire chief in maine is now under arrest. Hes accused of intentionally setting grass and coastal marshes on fire. Hes charged with a fire on april 15 that burned 42 acres in old orchard beach. It brought 40 firefighters and the flames were 30 feet high.

Police say this man here was able to get his hands on not one, but two guns despite a court order to prevent that. The new charges hes facing today. Lot of speculation about who will the frontrunners pick as their Vice President ial nominee.

Police say he was able to get his hands on two guns despite having a protective order issued against him for alleged domestic abuse. New charges stem from two other fatal shootings that happened yesterday in the washington area. One at a mall and another at a Shopping Center about five miles away. Getting back to politics, donald trump and Hillary Clinton both fielding questions about their Vice President ial picks. With trump as the presumptive gop nominee and Hillary Clinton ahead in the democratic race, both sides speculating about possible running mates. Bernie sanders not ruling out the possibility that hed consider the vp slot, saying if he does not win the nomination, hell sit down with clinton to talk about the future. Political reporter for the daily beast is here, betsy. Well talk about senator sanders in a moment. But i want to kind of get an overall take from you. In terms of appealing to a certain voting block or signaling the direction and tone of their administration, what factors will weigh heavily when making the selection. Lets start with trump. In trumps case, i think the biggest thing is going to be that he brings on someone with significant dc experience. Of course, trump won the support of the Republican Party by emphasizing how far away he was from d. C how he was so much more connected with the Business World and with normal americans than he was with the swampland. That said, of course, many supporters, many donors and Party Leaders are going to want to have someone on board with him who can appeal to moderates and knows how dc works. Thats important. What about Hillary Clinton . In hillarys case, i think well see somebody who is younger. Perhaps a better orator, a little more energetic who might seem to be having more fun on the campaign trail. Clinton and her team acknowledge shes had an extremely hard time reaching out to millenials. I think shell pick somebody who is better at courting that demographic and courting progressives. Thats not going to be Bernie Sanders as her vp pick, right . You know, i think bernie could be an interesting exception to the conventional wisdom that young folks like young candidates because hes done so ridiculously well with millenial voters. Its almost overwhelming how much they like him. We mentioned Bernie Sanders. Lets talk about who else might be on the list and which ones would make a better choice. And also might there be anyone on their wish list that might not not want the job . The first person on a wish list who is already ruled out is governor rick scott. Hes a billionaire. They have some of the same acquaintances. It was possible that trump would have wanted him, but he came out earlier this week and said absolutely not. No way, no how. Im not doing it. Governor fallin of oklahoma has said she would kind of like to be trumps Vice President. But we dont really see any evidence in trump world that theyre courting her. On hillarys side, someone who we know theyre looking at is kim kane a senator from virginia. I talked with some virginia politicos this past week about what the upsides of courting cain is and what i heard is people like his personality. Hes easy going, hes friendly. Hes fun to be around. And when youre going through whats likely to be an incredibly stressful and many times unpleasant president ial campaigns, having someone on board with you who you like as a human being is kind of a big deal. I wouldnt be floored if we see more evidence that the clinton camp is reaching out to him. Okay. Well keep an eye on all of those folks you mentioned. Do you think that the veep choice will be more scrutinized for possibly one candidate more than the other . I think trumps veep pick is likely to get more attention partly because were 90 confident hell pick someone from the dc world. A politician. That means the reporters who cover this stuff there weather have more about the veep, theyll know how to dig and who to talk to. And trump sucked up all the media oxygen this cycle and there will be pressure on him to bring someone who has more attention. That said f hillary speaks someone who is a real outsider or real dark horse, a big surprise, its possible that it will be kind of a game change situation and she can shift the spotlight back to her in awith a that
