it's a blow to progressives with turner endorsed by bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio-cortez falling short of the moderate brown backed by hillary clinton and several members of the congressional black caucus including jim clyburn. meanwhile in the republican primary in ohio's 15th district the disgraced former president's candidate mike carey came out on top in a 11-candidate field. and that's tonight's reid out. and joy comes back tomorrow night so be sure to tune in. among her guests donald trump's niece, mary trump. and i'll see you again right here at 10:00 a.m. this sunday. "all in" with chris hayes starts right now. >>> tonight on "all in," donald trump's coup came closer to succeeding than we ever knew. tonight the smoking gun document that could have up ended democracy as we know it and the doj official who tried to help trump steal the election.

bernie sanders' acolyte nina turner for ohio's 11th district. joining me now, former adviser to the hillary clinton campaign, adrian elrod. and everybody knows who this man is, eugene daniels, political playbook, coauthor. thank you both for coming to "the sunday show." so i want to put up on the screen this quote from hakeem jeffries, member of the house leadership, democrat from the great state of new york, where he says the extreme left is obsessed with talking trash about mainstream democrats on twitter when the majority of the electorate constitute mainstream democrats at the polls. adrian, you are -- you work with democrats. you're with the democratic party. does he have a point? >> well, i think the point that he was making, jonathan, is that elections are not fought and won on twitter. that is just not where the majority of voters spend their time. people like you and me spend a lot of time on twitter, but that's not where the majority of

sanders. the results, a big loss for the progressive wing of the democratic party. >>> coming up, new york state teachers union says it's against a vaccine mandate. how do they plan to open up schools and keep kids and teachers safe? we'll be asking the president of one of the nation's largest teachers unions next. lower interest rate. my principal is going down. sofi is a place where you can start to tackle those money goals today. ♪♪ ♪all by yourself.♪ you look a little lost. i can't find my hotel. oh. oh! ♪♪ this is not normal. no. ♪♪ so? ♪♪ right? go with us and find millions of flexible options,

sanders during the presidential campaign. she is advocating for universal health care and a $50 minimum wage in an effort to advance more progressive policies. on the establishment side is a local county council member who chairs the county's democratic party. she has aligned herself as a loyalist to president joe biden. joining me now, our nbc news senior political editor. so the race for the 11th district in the cleveland area, it has drawn a lot of national attention from democrats and it's taking a bit of a nasty turn. certainly when you're talking about interparty fighting. take us how -- take us through this. how contentious is this race getting? >> yeah. . watching the tv advertisements airing in this cleveland-akron district are the nastiest democrat on democrat ads i've seen probably since going back

sanders. we saw it in the virginia gubernatorial primary and we saw it in the new york city democratic mayoral primary where eric adams beat back a slew of progressive candidates. the bottom line is, at the ballot box we have an idea of what the base of the democratic party looks like. it looks a lot more like the democratic coalition joe biden put together. in congress right now, the base of the party is perceived of the progressives. the question is, where are democrats going to govern? govern towards that base in the electorate or the supposed base on social media and that they've seen elected to some parts of congress? >>> when we come back, more evidence that in politics, twitter is just not american.

while nina turner campaigned with bernie sanders and other progressives. what does your win tell us about where the future of the democratic party lies and what voters want in ohio? there's been a lot said about your win, eric adams' win in the democratic candidacy for mayor of new york. in your opinion, is that being overblown? is it something else? what does your win mean? >> so, first of all, reverend al, thank you for having me on your show. i'm a big fan. but i think this win says a lot of different things. first and foremost, i've never really ascribed to labels. when i'm helping people get their needs met, when someone calls me and says, shontel, how can i get my hands on a ppe loan, or when is the next food bank or how can i get rental

something that we heard from bernie sanders' campaign and in the 2020 and 2016 democratic races. on the flip side, you end up having nina turner going after shan tell brown on ethics matters, on some local politics. but make no mistake this is the latest it rags in the bernie sanders versus democratic establishment wars that we've seen in 2016, 2020 and seeing once again, ayman. >> so what exactly would this tell us about, you know, the debate within democrats and their chances in next year's mid terms? what do you suspect the dccc might be paying attention to tomorrow night? >> yeah. not much when it comes to the general election and general election contest at the dccc will be focused on. this is a fight in the heart and soul of the democratic party. this is going to be a district that no matter who ends up winning between brown and turner, the democrat will end up carrying this democratic heavy seat. but for progressives, there is a lot at stake. recently just a year ago we saw joe biden win the democratic primary for president. we saw terry mcauliffe win overwhelmingly a demo

bernie sanders has won the ideological argument in the party. the party has gone to the left on capitol hill. i completely agree with that, and i think probably -- the electorate is probably in the middle, but the members of congress are not. >> well -- go ahead. >> a bunch of those individuals are going to vote for republicans in the next congressional election because they don't recognize their democratic party right now. >> a lot of it -- that's why we may see a lot of donald trump in ads perhaps coming. >> 100%. >> from the left perhaps, some of those moderate democrats. i've got to leave it there. that's all we have for today. thank you for watching. we won the gold and the medal standings. how about that, team usa? let's make sure to note that. we'll be back next week because if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." ♪♪ >>> a new milestone in the coronavirus pandemic. half of the u.s. population is now fully vaccinated. but with covid cases still on the rise, especially in unvaccinated areas, the question is when will things turn around.

we have bernie sanders, we have joe manchin and everybody in between and we show respect. we don't belittle or denigrate or anything, but second and most important every member of our caucus realizes realizes that unity is our strength and with 50 votes at a time when republicans on too many issues refuse to cooperate at all as you saw last night, we all need to be unified and everyone knows that, so that doesn't mean people don't fight for their beliefs, but at the end of the day, we have to come together. thus far we have. is it going to be easy on reconciliation? absolutely not, but if past is prolog, we've got a chance at a good, decent chance. i told you i want to get the bill done on september 15th. >> and there you have it. senate majority leader chuck schumer there, a victory lap, part preview. back with me, nbc's leigh ann caldwell and covers capitol hill for us. it would seem voting rights would be senator schumer's next priority. what's the game plan there? >> yeah, craig. that is senator schumer's next, immediate priority when the senate returns in september. h

>> yeah, the democratic race has given me ptsd of the bernie sanders and the democratic establishment wars we saw play out in 2016 and 2020. as you said over the weekend, we saw bernie sanders and lot of the allies stump for nina turner who is co-chair of the presidential campaign and on the other side, we had jim clyburn who is campaigning for chantal brown, and really, the 2016, and the 2020 races, because a lot of the fault lines have centered the on the same battles that we saw for and a year ago, and this is over the $15 minimum wage, and medicare for all as well as who would be the better democrat and the better ally for joe biden in congress. so, the strategists on both sides tell me that it is a close race, and nina turner had the early lead, but we have the wait and see what ends up happening tomorrow, and what is going to be a really close and very closely watched race. >> yeah, you called it one of the nastiest democrats on democrat primaries since obama and clinton. i wanted to ask you about the race across the state in the special primary of a trump-backed candidate and s

a moderate member of the party just beat a progressive race backed by bernie sanders in ohio. but how did donald trump's candidate do? >>> all that as coronavirus poses new threats to public health, the american economy, and all of those elected leaders who should have the power and prerogative to do something about it. >>> also, police officers who responded to the capitol riot are being awarded with the congressional gold medal. if legislators can't agree on that unanimously, why is it so elusive on capitol hill. good morning, good morning and welcome to "morning joe." we will begin with the 165-page report issued by new york attorney general letitia james. which alleges that new york governor andrew cuomo sexually harassed almost a dozen women, including employees in his office, and violated state and federal laws. cuomo is denying the accusations and has vowed that he will not be distracted from his job. but calls for his resignation are adding up. nbc news correspondent rehaima ellis has the latest. >> reporter: new york attorney general letitia james calling the blisteri

you talk about how they moved the salary, that there was basically bernie sanders with a stop bezos bill and that bezos convenes a meeting to reconsider worker pay under this external pressure and raised the hourly rate across the board to $15. what's the implication there? are you saying that senator sanders' outside pressure worked even if the bill didn't pass? and are there things that make jeff bezos or amazon act more in the interest of the public in your view? >> oh, ari, absolutely. they're very receptive to criticism and very attuned to criticism from the progressive wing of the democratic party, even when they're out on twitter insulting bernie sanders and his colleagues. the $15 an hour campaign now is almost a decade old. amazon ignored it for many years. it was only when the pressure really ratcheted up and also, frankly, the labor situation became very competitive. it was suddenly in amazon's interest to raise its wages because it's out there competing every single day with workers for the likes of walmart, so we see how valuable that is now. amazon employing a million peopl

sanders backed nina turner. brown joins "morning joe" in the next hour. >>> house democrats are growing concerned about the party's chances in the 2022 midterms in a closed-door meeting last week and confirmed by nbc news, new york councilman warned that unless democrats change their message on the accounting they will likely lose. and pulling a voting that indicated that democrats are not doing enough. according to politico, a battleground of incumbents are privately alarmed that shows the party struggling on bellwether issues such as the economy despite the trillion efforts this year and biden's general approval rate. and they warned that maloney's stark warning could decrease funding. and six months out, donald trump is profiting in a big way, trump has raked in millions of dollars, but not a single penny going to the upcoming elections. trump writing in a monday statement, in part, quote, i am pleased to see the entire party benefit from trump. instead, a review of the former president's committee shows $4 m

while nina turner campaigned with bernie sanders and other progressives. what does your win tell us about where the future of the democratic party lies and what voters want in ohio? there's been a lot said about your win, eric adams' win in the democratic candidacy for mayor of new york. in your opinion, is that being overblown? is it something else? what does your win mean? >> so, first of all, reverend al, thank you for having me on your show. i'm a big fan. but i think this win says a lot of different things. first and foremost, i've never really ascribed to labels. when i'm helping people get their needs met, when someone calls me and says, shontel, how can i get my hands on a ppe loan, or when is the next food bank or how can i get rental assistance, they never end the call with, by the way, are you a moderate or progress? people want results delivered to them. that's what i focused on this campaign. the national narrative certainly took a life of its own, but this was a local race. the people that live in the 11th congressional district got to decide

sanders and representative alexandra ocasio-cortez. sanders campaigned for turner while clyburn campaigned for brown. meanwhile, trump's endorsement power is being put to the test while his candidate lost last week in texas. he endorsed kerry in the sixth district of texas. joined now by "new york times" reporter robinsons -- there's two of you! you've been covering these races in ohio. i want to specifically ask you about the turner/brown race. folks are waiting for the first results to come in because this really is a battle between the two wings of the democratic party. >> that's exactly right, jonathan. the people i've spoken to on the ground really can't overstate how acrimonious and bitter it's gotten where you have a flood of politician money, luminaies in the democratic party and the movement, coming in and making their case against the other candidate. they haven't really seen anything this contentious in recent times, and i think a lot of folks there are quite unsettled by it and will be glad to have it over. that said, when

. >> looks like bernie sanders controls the party. it sits systematic socialism. it is what he proposed. >> the democrats are radical. >> we are playing with fire here. it is like we are growing a fraud business here at the federal government. >> there you have it. the talk of socialism is how republicans try to ban big spending. democrats have grapple for a long time of what they perceive as political risk can go anywhere near the socialist labels. socialism which is different which is soviet style socialism. all of this is playing out. i want to be clear here, look at the issues. the truth is, related issues are also a tension among democrats. >> i don't want to blow up the affordable care act. >> look at the numbers. how much is it going to cost? who's going to pay for it? >> south carolinians. >> we are back with donny. i think that's a demo one. i love that. well, we are glad you are listening. it sounds like a joke but partially true. this is interesting for someone like you because you know all about marketing and branding to a degree where politicians year

bernie sanders backed that as well as every democrat. it's good enough for the senate, i'm sure it is good enough for us in the house, that's the path we should follow. >> that seems like a hard yes or no. >> we said clearly it has to be infrastructure bill first. >> congressman fitzpatrick you had 19 senators back the infrastructure bill. many in the problem solvers caucus will probably back it as well. how do you see the potential support for that bill on the republican side changing if reconciliation goes first, or how many republican votes are in play at all. >> the problems in the problem solvers caucus are in play. whether or not they vote yes or no be will be dependent on the issues they touched on. we are very concerned about overheating the economy. as we have said many, many times before. but we support the bill. and it is responsible. there is about $550 billion in new spending. half of it is paid for and the other half is legitimate. it is a hard infrastructure bill to benefit the economy, the grid, and our economy. it has to

and i want to make a comparison to what bernie sanders did after the shooting of steve ska scalise. he said while this is not publicly known, and generally speaking i understand the anger. this is not the way to fight back. >> he would say hey, i'm telling people to do this at the ballot box, but he put his arm around this person essentially. >> an extremist in this country still votes. international terrorists don't. when you look at how they're playing this line, also saying oh, you know, we don't want anyone to get hurt, commending the police. and the police in danger, and trying to play it both ways. the problem is when they do this eventually someone will show up at the capital and get who might be there that day? mo brooks is relying on the police out there. as they try to play it both directs the devil will ultimately come and it will play out in a way that is out of mo brooks control. >> he will be an interesting witness when he gets called to testify before the january 6th committee. let me ask you what you're seeing digitally right now. this was a month that qanon and qano

the huge ideological range from joe manchin to bernie sanders. yet here we are. they got both of them done. and there was no way they would do both of these at once, right? so for democrats in a congenital way, i think they're trying to think the sky is falling. the sky is always falling. i think they should entertain the idea maybe the sky isn't falling. maybe joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, are good at this. and as we look ahead to all the obstacles that this legislation and everything else will have to cross to actually become fact, maybe they can get a lot of stuff done. that's what they seem to be doing. they're getting it done. >> mr. murphy, this following quote from mitch mcconnell of the "wall street journal" caught our eye. though the first of these two sentences is on the indecipherable side. it reads, quote, there is nothing to back you up like the promise of a presidential signatory. a word people use every day. if you're in the same party as the president. here's the money bite. so i think the president deserves a lot of credit for getting t

. >> it looks like bernie sanders controls the party and it is systematic socialism and it is exactly what he always proposed. >> we are playing with fire here. it is like we are growing a fraud business here at the federal government. >> cornell? >> it is interesting, ari, i am looking now at the 19 and the 19 republicans who voted for this. most republicans who think i have to win a primary against where if donald trump does not run, i have to win a primary where donald trump is not against me and the republican base can't say working with joe biden. on the piece about the progressives, look, you know i hear the debate about this does not go far enough. this bill as it is is a once in a general investment win in our future. i don't think you can look at it in any other way and it creates millions of jobs. you know what kind of jobs it creates? it creates a lot of blue collar jobs and a lot of those voters who look like trump voters than they do, joe biden's voters and it transforms what's happening in rural community. this is a bill for all americans. the question is those republica

. >>> the establishment back, shontel brown on top, and another data point this is not bernie sanders' party. >> calling out progressives for targeting moderates, could so-called woke culture threaten democrats' chances in the midterms? >> the squad has grown in numbers in small part, but still not a huge amount of people in the democratic caucus. >> so as you see, these days framing policy differences within the democratic party as a civil war of progressives versus moderates is all too common in media coverage of their politics. it's the same re-deductive framing we saw in ohio's election, where shontel brown defeated aoc endorsed nina turner. is this race really a proxy war for democratic divides, and does it really tell us anything about how democrats will do next november? let's get into it. joining me now, my friend and nemesis, dr. jason johnson, msnbc political contributor and professor at morgan state university and returning champ, eric bowler, author and editor. love your morning newsletter. >> jason, i want to start with you because i loved your piece where you talk about

sanders, even yet here we are they got both of those things done and it was absolutely no way that they were going to do both of these things at once, right? and so for democrats who they are inclined to think that the sky is falling, the skies always falling, i think they're gonna entertain the possibility that maybe the sky isn't falling, maybe joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer are good at this, and so as we look ahead to all of the obstacles that this legislation, everything else will have to cross to actually become fact, maybe they can get a lot of stuff done, because that's what they seem to be doing, they're getting it done. >> mr. murphy this following quote from mitch mcconnell in the wall street journal caught our eye joe the first of these two sentences is on the indecipherable side, it reads quote, there is nothing to back you up like the promise of a presidential signatory, if you're in the same party as the president here is the money bite, and so i think the president deserves a lot of credit for getting the democrats open to reaching a bipartisan agreement on this b

the democratic backed shontel brown had a data point to show that this is not bernie sanders' area, and across the board to start with joe biden and eric adams and now shontel brown. and now, trump's candidate mike carey won over a scattered field, and donald trump will almost always come out on top if the field is crowded. so joining me is my partner in crime, the senior political editor here, mark murray. so mark, it is -- there's no doubt on the democratic side, it is looking like we have the rule of threes for 2021 is here, mccullough, terry and biden. >> yes, and at least the candidate that is trump-backed going to lose again, and the answer to that question is that the trump-backed candidate was going to win, but you can also look at the percentage of 37% isn't an overwhelming one, and some of the other candidates were running on the local issues is backed by local candidates including steve stivers who was backing a candidate jeff lare who was 13% and his closest opponent in the contest. >> we were wondering about how we noted for now that all politics is national, but there has

i think we see bernie sanders just walking by as well. we can also tell you that the senior senator from south carolina, lindsay graham spotted there in the upper chamber for the vote. of course, for those of you who have been following over the past week or so senator graham was diagnosed with covid and we can tell you that he was there in the senate wearing a mask a short time ago as we see senator tom cotton of arkansas there in the distance maskless, and so is lisa murkowski of alaska. let me turn to garrett haake, and he spends a lot of time covering both houses of congress. we can let our viewers and listeners know mitch mcconnell was a yes vote on the infrastructure bill. is that a separate at all? >> no, mitch mcconnell has said from the word go that infrastructure was something on which he thought there could be bipartisan progress, and i think it's interesting to note his three lieutenants all republican senators with the first name of john all voted against this, so the jockeying to eventually be the next republican party in th

he believes that trump's people love america and bernie sanders people don't love america. he believes that at his core. now he's just trying to backfill that belief with any conspiracy, any fact that might support it. and i -- you know, without putting him on the couch, i think that's my best explanation for what's happening, he's just getting crazier and crazier down the rabbit hole to do it. >>> let's talk about what congressman adam kinzinger said yesterday where he said he expects a significant number of subpoenas from the house select committee, including possibly house minority leader kevin mccarthy and jim jordan. how likely is that, do you think, juanita? >> look, i think it is likely subpoenas are going to be issued. and i think it's also going to continue to grow the rage within the gop that kinzinger and cheney are serving on the select committee and that kinzinger is out here saying that we're coming for you if you had anything to do with this. we're coming for you to get the answers that we know americans want. we're coming for you to get to the truth. so i th

take a listen, for example, to one of the key architects of this part of the process, senator bernie sanders speaking about it earlier today. >> i wish i could tell that you my republican colleagues understand the crisis facing working families. and they understand the moral imperative that we're addressing climate change and working together to do what the american people want. create millions of good paying jobs, addressing the needs of working families and climate change. >> ayman, we've been in a rare zone of bipartisanship over the last few days. we're going to snap back into the normal partisan or the of things. this is the part where democrats are really going to go it alone. they can do it by a simple majority. so what we expect, the choreography over the course of the next few days, is a vote on the bipartisan bill tomorrow in the morning and then right after that senator schumer bringing up the reckon sul yags bill and really kicking off this process, committees using the next few weeks to draft it and then we'll have a busy september here as this process does become more p

well smaller than, say, what bernie sanders wants but it seems unlikely. the question is, is it too big for moderates like manchin and sinema to go along with. it comes at a time when the economy, the jobs report yesterday was very strong. there are concerns, of course, about inflation. there are concerns about businesses not being able to find workers to fill empty slots, but also we know that the delta variant is surging across the country. we heard from the president yesterday say, look, this is a good jobs report but it doesn't factor in what could be coming. it is a backward looking record as opposed to what we will see from the surge where we may see things slow down. that's part of the argument as to why the government still needs to have this influx of spending in the months ahead to create the sort of social net for people that struggled during the pandemic. >> let's talk about strategy when it comes to the reconciliation bill, because obviously jonathan bringing up the sinemas and manchins of the world and we don't know where they're going to sta

schumer trying to balance feelings on part of the moderates, bernie sanders, the aoc wing of the party, one chance to get this done. let's not be anything than the most ambitious we can be. something you don't know how it's going to fall it will take weeks if not months to play this out. >> and leigh ann, story the next couple of months that price tag. the scope of moving on this senate bill with reconciliation just passed. wheren they starting? must be exhausted. they were up all night. >> reporter: senate was up all night and our capitol hill team covering all of this. as far as moving forward, the price tag at this moment, this $3.5 trillion. now, that is the ceiling, not the floor. speaker speaker schumer said they want to dot more. how big are democrats willing to go. he said as peter pointed out some members wan wanted more thanes 3ds.5 million and heard joe manchin say $3.5 million is too much. another thing schumer said in a press conference, did knoll rule out coming below that if he has to, if that's what it takes to get all of his members together pap very complicated dance

this is not the bernie sanders agenda, the elizabeth warren agenda. this is what joe biden wants. the progressives are on board with the president's plan. the question is will moderates be on board and they will? we had a caucus call this morning. everyone is on board with the speaker's strategy. i didn't hear a single dissenting voice so i don't know who is reporting the dissent, but the democratic caucus is actually unified behind the speaker and she's going to prevail. i wouldn't bet against the speaker. she has delivered time and again and will deliver this time. >> are you prepared or is your caucus prepared to hold up the bipartisan bill if the reconciliation bill does not move with the items that you want? >> i think it's a moot question. they are both going to move together and we're prepared to vote for both of them and we will vote for both of them. the speaker has been very clear. we will move both of them together because they are interlinked. they are part of the agenda. you can't do infrastructure without tackling climate. you can't have an infrastructure plan and no

sanders. and i have been completely surprised and feeling that we are all blessed to have joe biden in the white house in these last months. his first year in office, all of the things that he's done. not just in standing bravely and never walking it back like a politician and especially a democratic politician would. they would get afraid of the republicans and the right-wing telling them that they were -- he was a coward and withdrawing from afghanistan and democrats have such a history of walking things back like this. he wouldn't walk it back. he just said, no, this is wrong. i promised you when i ran for office, i'm pulling the troops out. this war is going on way to long and that is what he did. a politician kept his word. you could have the discussion of how crazy it went at the end. but all evacuations from dunkirk before and after caused -- i mean churchill is considered a hero with dunkirk. there were 15,000 allied lives lost in trying to evacuate those soldiers off that beach in fra

this, and the budget resolution which is going to be quarterbacked by bernie sanders, and they want to get that done before the august recess. so they will lose all if not much of the first week and they were hoping to be done by today, but we know they will be back by saturday and if not for most of the week to pass this, and while it allows to pass by 50 vote, it takes time. there is 50 hours of debate, and the voteorama, and a basically holy opened amendment period as long as the republicans want to make it last, and they want to make it painful for the democrats to go forward. >> i hope you get some semblance of a weekend. we thank you for the reporting as always. >>> one of the most consequential days of reporting happened this day when lyndon johnson signed one of the most monumental laws in the era of freedom. one of the most important tools has been whittled away by the supreme court and an action of congress. today, merrick garland asked to restore the teeth. and he wrote in the washington post that we must say again that it is not right to erect barriers that make it eligi

bernie sanders visited the crew. describe the scene. we had congressman bush on morning joe yesterday. tell us what that's like and how longer this are they going to be out there? >> it seems like a day to day idea. i've been talking to cori bush's folks and she hasn't said how longer this she's going to stay out there. what she wants to do -- they say her, aoc is out there, gomez, dean phillips came out on sunday. there's a lot of people coming out to have a visit. that's what cori bush and these people want. you see people really, really concerned about, this people being evicted from the homes which could start any day is what they're telling us. i will say something that's changed over time is the capitol police has told them different things. at first they were allowed to sleep in chairs. now they can have chairs, tarps, tents, but they can't sleep. that's what i've been told. it's turning in a stranger way to do this. they're determined to stay as longer this as possible. >> there are a lot of folks that will need to stay in line

and it shows the limbs oaf bernie sanders in this political movement in these districts and states with large african-american populations. >> thank you so much. thank you for being with us to die sect all of that. we appreciate all of you for joining us here. you can find us on twitter. we have more coverage throughout the day starting with jose diaz balart right now. >> good wednesday morning, i'm jose diazbalart. we're following a number of high take stories for you this morning. first the pressure is growing on andrew cuomo to resign but he says he is not going anywhere after he was accused of sexually harassing 11 women. >> plus, blocked. a federal judge just stopped governor greg abbott from enforcing an order on how they document immigrants. and hospitals face the covid squeeze and burnout. hospitalizations in florida have

sanders and elizabeth warren. vote for a resolution along with senators like kirsten sinema and joe manchin. that's the least that we can do in the house of representatives. to get the process started, in over the next few weeks, we can have a substantive discussion, and negotiation about what the build back better budget framework, should look like, before it gets enacted into law. >> congressman jeffries before you go, andrew cuomo has less than two hours left in the job, as governor, he has followed your advice and everybody else in the new york congressional delegation who asked him to resign, based on the accusations brought forward by the state attorney general on sexual harassment. what should governor cuomo do now? with the $18 million in campaign funds, that he has in his campaign funds. should he turn that money over to the state democratic party? >> he will have to make some decisions about how to use those resources, hopefully to elect other democrats moving forward, help us keep our majorities in both

sanders out with that plan for reconciliation, and how is that received? >> well, the reconciliation bill is an outline, and we have the budget numbers or the topline of how much they want to spend in each category, and so they are going to vote on that later in the week, and it is called a budget resolution, and this is the first step in that process. and then it goes back to the committees for them to actually write the legislation for the $3.5 trillion human infrastructure bill, and how it is received? the republicans are adamantly opposed to it, and so it is a fight among the democrats, and there are some moderates in the house of representatives who have said they are out with the circulating a letter as we speak saying that they have some concerns with the $3.5 trillion bill. they are citing inflation. meanwhile, the progressives would like something more than 3.5 trillion, and so what this is underscores is a difficult path moving forward that speaker pelosi has with the democratic caucus to stay in line, because while they are at a very, you know,

we know that progressives like bernie sanders, they will be behind this. but what about the joe manchin and kyrsten sinemas of the world, are they on board? >> angus king is my partner in this. angus has been notable as one of the moderates in the senate. as you know, he is not a democrat, he is an independent who caucuses with the democrats. and has just come off helping negotiate this big bipartisan deal. i also want to remind you that back when we were presidential candidates, there were many things on which joe biden and i did not agree on tax policy, but one that we agreed strongly on was the need to tax book profits of giant corporations. so i think that this will have a lot of support throughout the democratic caucus but i think a lot of support across the country. >> there is certainly a lot of support from the american people. the tax you are proposing would hit about 1300 companies. what would your plan be to make sure these companies don't flee to tax havens overseas? how do you avoid that? >> let me start by reminding you, this is not about rai

senator bernie sanders and congressman ocasio-cortez. turner is facing off against cuyahoga county counselor shontel brown who received endorsements from democratic power brokers like hillary clinton and south carolina congressman jim clyburn. brown is winning that race by 6.5 points with more of half precincts reporting there. in the conservative 15th district republicans facing a test of donald trump's influence. a few minutes ago "the associated press" declared the trump-backed coal lobbyist mike carey the winner in ohio's 15th congressional district. msnbc will continue to follow tonight's election results as they unfold. >>> that's it for us tonight. see you again tomorrow. i will see you tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 p.m. eastern.

on one side it's bernie sanders, and alexandria ocasio-cortez, and i know you have been covering had on the ground. what is your sense of how this goes? >> it's so hard to tolerate now because of the turnout model. nobody knows what it's going to be for a special election a. primary in august. both campaigns are fighting this as if it's really tight. this has been nina's race to lose, and we have seen her go negative to back brown, and then you have seen both candidates bring in national surrogates to campaign in a district that includes cleveland and parts of akron, and there are problems like gun violence and poverty, and so they are pulling out all the stops. people i talked to in both campaigns are nervous and not sure what to make of it, and it's blind polling and i will give you the cliche, if -- >> we have not heard that on this show, right? >> right. >> does it all come down to it? i don't know. >> it all comes down to it, especially in the inner cities in cleveland where turnout in the last presidential election was so low, and if either can mobilize that they can win. >> i

even then congressman bernie sanders did not vote with you. what is your memory of that week and that vote? i'm sure you have been thinking about it these past few days. >> thank you, mehdi. i have been thinking about it, and then i knew we had to do something. i mean we had lost so many people, a terrorist attack against our country. actually, my chief of staff, his cousin, wanda green, was a flight attendant on flight 93 and i was sitting in the capitol when they took down that plane. so reflecting on that and now 20 years later is really very sobering in a lot of respects, but also i knew then that it could spiral out of control and that if we didn't think through the impact and the implications -- and i have been thinking about this this week because now i'm terrified and i'm really so worried and, like everyone, concerned and working every how to try to figure out how we make sure that no more lives are taken, that afghans are transported out and evacuated. those who supported are, americans, our diplomats, ngos, women and children. how i

biden won the presidential nomination not bernie sanders. progressive excesses like defund the police cost democrats dearly downballot. there have been races in primaries recently, the party regs have won all of them. the problem with the progressive base mobilization strategy is that progressives think they're the base but a faction that keeps losing primaries can't be the base. joe biden is the base and they want to make the system work, american politics is in god awful shape but we're seeing an attempt to build it back better. eugene robinson, your reaction to the column that the biden approach is working and progressives in some ways are being marginalized? >> look, the establishment of the democratic party is certainly on a winning streak. they've been winning these primaries. they won in cleveland the other day. convincingly. when chantel brown with the support of king maker or queen maker jim clyburn defeated nina turner, backed by bernie sanders and the squad. and this has been a pattern. and david makes an interesting point, which

whether you're talking about the speedy withdrawal from afghanistan or bernie sanders $3.5 trillion budget bill that's going to be a reconciliation bill. that's on one side but on the other side for me it's not political niceties, it's actually on the other side you have a party that's against western democracy, if you're talking about donald trump's party that elevates people like orbon, people that praise the end of liberal democracy and brags about being illiberal. that's not a choice at all, is it? we're left with no choice but to be against the party that continues to elevate people like donald trump. >> yeah, absolutely. i agree with that. you know, if the choice is between what i think is excessive deficit spending or a supreme court justice nominee that i don't like and the survival of american democracy, there's no question which side you have to come out on. and what we're seeing today is a continuing threat of -- to democracy. the way a democracy survives is that people vote and they accept the results and then they work hard, like the devil, to persuade the citizens that they m

brown is a moderate who aligned with president biden, turner a progressive backed by bernie sanders, in the latest in a string of elections this year that have served as a reality check for the left flank of the party. moderate democrats won in new york, virginia, louisiana and now ohio. hakeem jeffries said in an interview with "the new york times" yesterday democratic voters are clearly rejecting candidates from the most strident and ideological flank. the extreme left is obsessed with talking trash on twitter when the majority constitutes main stream at the polls. when president biden and democratic legislatures are delivering millions of good paying jobs the fastest growing economy in 40 years and a massive child tax cut. jeffries went on to tell the times, the majority of democratic voters recognize that trumpism and the radical right is the real enemy, not us. apparently the extreme left has not figured that out. pretty extraordinary comments from congress hakeem jeffries of new york, a progressive himself but frustrated with the farthest left corners of his party. >> it's a ba
