Votes that separate liberal community organizer summer lee and lawyer steve irwin. we made a promise and we intend to deliver on it. right now you know it s election night in america when you have our friend and colleague steve kornacki at the big board. he s been following all of these races and will give us the latest now. yeah. let s start with the closest one. it s been the closest all night, the pennsylvania republican senate primary. you see david mccormick with the lead over oz. let me take you through where the outstanding votes are because there s a couple of pieces to this right now. just moments ago mccormick got a very good piece of news for his campaign. we have been talking about these counties right outside of the philadelphia, these suburban collar counties outside of philadelphia, voter rich, about a quarter of all votes will come out of them. they ve been slow to report, some of them have. one of the big outstanding ones is delaware county. we finally got a big batc ....
Populous suburban counties around philadelphia. same for dave mccormick. he did well around allegheny county. he hasn t lived there in many years. so that s a factor in this. when you look at barnette slipping, she was sort of complicated because of the comments she made including attacking minorities. do you have a sense at this hour how that is playing? is she underperforming what some called surge for the self described super maga candidate? yeah. it was always really difficult to tell what that surge was going to be because it was so last minute and it was happening when she hadn t been scrutinized very much and she was constantly being buffetted by negative ads. the oz campaign had a pac that supported oz that funded an ad that said that barnette accused ....

Codry of other attempts at social division rather than say inflation and areas where you can argue that the biden administration either didn t inherit the economic environment that it wanted or isn t doing enough on it that republicans would argue? well, listen, ari, you know, you have to win the conference finals to get to the championship. and so, for these republicans who are running in states and districts where they have to win a tough primary, you know, they can t look out the windshield towards the general election. there won t be a general election if they don t win the primary. madison cawthorn, good for the republican he lost, he still got 31% of the vote. so there s a lot of vote in crazyland. you know, you look if you add oz, that will be north of 60%. so, that s why i think they still have to appeal. ....
