Abortion rights won out in several key races in Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky on Election Day, signaling support for abortion access in the 2024 election and a need for the anti-abortion movement to regroup for next year.
been a very loud member of the squad -- >> do you think it would've gone differently this thing about the evictions if the election had been the day before and they had already learned that shantel brown was going to defeat nina turn? >> i think the eviction moratorium resolve was kind of inside washington and kind of the pressure that congressman bush and others built on the biden administration. i'm not quite sure what the ohio results would've done with that. but you have these two very interesting sometimes complementary, sometimes conflicting dynamics within the democratic party. >> but it does weaken the squad and the progressives what happened with shantel brown. >> so, i don't -- i think what you saw tuesday was relatively representative. unlike the republican party where there isn't a fight. i actually do think there's a legitimate disagreement between younger more liberal activist democrats and older more establishment democrats. and as we saw, by the way, with
for the 15th district in the columbus, ohio area. for the north and cleveland chantal brown won the democratic primary in district 11. her fight against the squad-backed candidate became a proxy for tensions between old guard democrats and progressive liberals. tonight we look at what the ohio results and other developments mean for the progressives who want to have more influence here in washington. here's congressional correspondent chad pergram. >> a split decision for progressives. their favorite candidate bernie sanders co-campaign manager nina turner vanquished at the polls but progressives also scoring a big win. >> a huge victory for the power of direct action and not taking no for an answer. >> the left prodding the restore the eviction moratorium. >> it marks i hope a turning point in the way that this white house views progressives. >> the left spurred action through guerrilla tactics camping out on the house steps for days in protests.
she's from north carolina. she said in our interview a few minutes ago that john kerry back in 2004 disputed the ohio results and she said he called those results rigged. we've been looking all over the place. we can't find any evidence that kerry ever called the ohio results rigged. there is an article that's been floating around on line that quotes some of his supporters but not john kerry himself. but this goes to the whole question, david, of what the trump campaign is pushing out there right now. they're pushing this notion that things can be rigged and donald trump saying he's not sure he's going to accept the results of this presidential election. your take on what you heard last night. >> think for a moment -- leave out what you think of donald trump as a president. think of this as pure political mechanics. when you want to get people to vo vote, you get them a message of hope. when you look at president obama's last rally in 2012, that's his message.
he's been talking to the santorum campaign specifically about ohio. we don't know who has won. how does the santorum campaign feel about what they're seeing so far in terms of results? >> well, rachel, i just got off the phone with rick santorum's campaign manage r who's in stubenville in the gymnasium and the candidate just got done speaking. they're upstairs looking at their computer screens. what he told me is that they are waiting for some of their strong votes to come in, especially from counties in the northwestern part of the state. i'm looking at a map of ohio, including williams county and fulton county in the northwest where they think they will do very well and are doing very well. they're also waiting for votes from southeastern ohio, including jefferson county and some those counties near stubenville along the ohio river. they know they're not getting delegates from there, rachel as
he doesn't have to win it by more than a vote. whoever wins this is going to have a big leg going forward in the next ten days. >> that's excellent information for both of you. thanks for sharing that with us. it's an important point that mark is making about the calendar going-forward. alabama, mississippi and kansas and missouri. wait, didn't missouri just vote? yes, missouri had a fake vote. they had a vote they couldn't get off the state statutes that they were required to hold a primary, the republicans in the state said, don't hold any attention to what the results are here, when rick santorum won it anyway. he said pay a lot of attention to what the votes are. they're going to have to hold their caucus. you have to think rick santorum has some wind in his sales heading into missouri, if only because he won the fake vote there not long ago. martin bashir from msnbc is with us. he's been watching the results come in through the night. if rick santorum wins in ohio or doesn't, what's the bottom line for the mitt romney candidacy.
to beat barack obama in the fall. >> thank you for being with us. >> good to be with you. >> let me tell you what's going on right now in ohio. we're 67% in, between rick santorum and mitt romney, look at the margin here. 14,000 votes. just under two thirds of the vote in, this is an incredibly close race in ohio. mitt romney has won vermont and massachusetts and virginia, where it was just him and ron paul on the ballot tonight. rick santorum has won oklahoma and tennessee. but all eyes on ohio tonight as we try to figure this out. we will also be having some results later on from north dakota, from the great state of alaska, it is super tuesday, and msnbc's coverage of super tuesday continues in a moment.
very specific about ohio results right now. but we have to talk about this for eight more months with the help of people like you. i want to go now to chuck todd, who's nbc's political director. he's back with us and has more on the vote out ohio. what is outstanding and what should we expect? >> quite the segue, that may take eight months before we know who won ohio. let me tell you the biggest counties that are out. i have hamilton and clairemont. that's a lot votes sitting out. we have montgomery, dayton, cincinnati, dayton markets still out. we have two areas in the cleveland market, cuyahoga and medinah county. let me tell you about cuyahoga. it takes them forever. we have franklin county over here, columbus, the capital. that's where the most vote is out, and some here in stark. as you can see, in the way these counties go. that's a lot of green counties, there's a lot of romney vote
ohio is so important. when someone wins some place that was thought to be a hard place for them to win, it matters more. a win is a win, but expectations and momentum are very closely linked. we're joined now by mike dewine, he supports santorum. thanks for being with us, it's good to have you back. >> thank you very much. >> what are you hearing in your home state, in terms of the way the overall results are coming in? >> we can't tell yet frankly. it's very, very close. this is, i think close to a miracle because of the money that was spent by romney, you know, $12 million to rick's $1 million in the last couple weeks. i don't know how anyone survives that. the phone calls and the radio and the tv. and once again, governor romney has underperformed as far as what expectations were.
