ohio. we did. and right now we are coming out of the pandemic, or coming out of the great economic collapse. there is a war. the issues of freedom are all across the globe. here at home, just today, we saw an issue of freedom. average people working their rear ends off, trying to make ends meet, fighting, biting, scratching, clawing. it is about economic freedom for them. climbing to the top, enough money to have a vacation, enough money to pay the bills. that is economic freedom. that's what this campaign is about. i told people i'm not here to get enough fight. i'm not going to win on election day and tried to punish 50% of the people living in this state or in this country. we are here to heal. we are here to become americans. we are here to, gather -- to come together. and i want ohio to be the economic powerhouse of not just the united states, but of the world. [cheers and applause] rep. ryan: i want us to be builders again. i want us to dominate the electric car industry, to dominate the batt

that is what i love about the state of ohio. that is what i love about our shared nation the united states of america. but that country, the opportunities in this state depend on us fighting and winning against tim ryan in november because as much as he will try to claim that he is one thing, his voting record and the evidence suggests he is the very worst of modern american politics. a guy who has spent 20 years failing the people of youngstown and now wants the people of ohio to give him a promotion, and we are not going to do it, are we? >> no! >> exactly. [applause] but i worry that our people feel caught between so much of the political corruption in this country. just inc. about it. -- just think about it. there is a establishment rebuttal can party -- establishment republican party that has for too long offended shipping jobs to china, and an establishment, pratt -- establishment democrat party that things if you even suggest that we don't ship our jobs to china, that that is somehow xenophobia. an establishment republica

a big rally a week later in central ohio. jane timken used to run the republican party in ohio. she was endorsed by rob portman who is leaving this seat which means all these folks here are vying for his senate seat. josh mandel well known in the state former state treasurer had been doing well. fox polling suggested he was running second or third. we will see whether that holds up tonight. mike gibbons a businessman from cleveland, ohio and matt dolan here is also from cleveland, ohio. dolan is a state senator who has partial ownership in the cleveland guardians. not the indians. the geestled guardians baseball team. playing field who is going to win or turn the trick tonight. not a certain number. whoever gets the most votes in ohio. also in neighboring indiana there is an interesting congressional race going on there tonight. here we are in ohio it is now 7:32, brian. i know the anticipation is killing you. i had hoped that some of these counties would start shade in but they have not yet filled in. but we will see this is cleveland, ohio, simply up here in cuyahoga. franklin

that's how extreme it's getting in ohio. ohio is a pro-choice state. we had a poll about four years ago that showed that 61% of ohioains believe in women's choice. these kind of extreme ideas where mike dewine is in the hospital room is a big problem for ohio women across the state. >> can you sketch out your position on this? where do you draw limits on the issue of abortion? >> well, look, i think that we need to make sure we have access. i've fought with pro choice ohio and planned parenthood to keep our clinics open. i think it's a personal decision for women. i don't think government should be involved in it. i think it should be between the doctor and the family and the woman that is going through this. i thought that my entire career. we don't see that. we see that, you know, if roe likely to fall, that, you know, rich people in ohio will get to be able to fly to illinois or new york and poor women won't have that opportunity to make these type of decisions. there's been a lot of coverage lately about what kind of women get an abortion. it's usu

you just showed that ohio in particular or john did, ohio in particular has become much more red in every way. pennsylvania is a state that is coming up when this other primary test will be out there, whether or not a trump endorsed candidate, dr. oz, will beat somebody -- or there's a few candidates but somebody who's more republican establishment in dave mccormick. it's unclear given that electorate you'll see the same kind of dynamic you saw tonight in ohio. what is also unclear, again, what we were talking about earlier is how a trump endorsed candidate is going to do up against whomever the democrat is going to be. it's also all and especially now starting in ohio it is about the general elections. all the questions you were asking before, how the supreme court potential decision on abortion comes into play, other factors comes into play, that will all decide whether or not this ohio seat which rob portman, the republican is leaving, stays in gop hands. >> i want to bring you in on that very notion because i'm curious especially what abbey was speaking about in particular the idea of

ohio. we'll have them throughout the hour as well at the bottom of the scream. the far left mob is at it again in what is a blatant attempt to intimidate the u.s. supreme court, obstruct justice and someone leaked justice alito's majority opinion overturning roe v. wade. it was only a draft. that doesn't necessarily mean that's the final decision. tonight we're going to on this program, we will separate fact from fiction and the reaction of the left has gone insane. let me be clear again, an official decision has not been made in this case. the court has not ruled one way or the other. i actually suspect that professor dershowitz theory that he offered last night will be correct. time will tell. this leak is likely a result of a self-serving far left court employee that is attempting to coerce the court's decision or maybe make the case for court packing, whatever the case may be. chief justice roberts called the leak a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the c

this is what ohio ans want, bilt build a group of people that care about ohio and the country and put this behind us. the age of stupidity behind zblus he talks about middle class issues. i have been doing this 20 years in ohio. an uphill fight. he says j.d. vance is new to politics, that he will make mistakes. >> somehow not good at this. i don't know that that has presented itself as the viable path for tim ryan. it is interesting to hear. so much you hear about the carpet bagger stuff and the democratic apparatus, as soon as the vance victory came in, john, was trying to frame vance as actually an elitist. this inauthentic, he was never trump and pro somehow he can't be believed. he's not the guy who identifies with what he wrote in the hillbilly-elegy. time ryan, he may have tried the carpet bagger thing. he talked about the economy every day, he understands the climate you are talking about. but this is a red state now. this is not the ohio of a couple of election cycles ago even. it was the mother of all battleground states. donald trump won it by 8 or 9 points and trended from

with law ago that's barack obama won ohio in 2012. the map of that state and is probably more typical of a place like iowa it has become such a red voting state we -- white working class post industrial part of the midwest used to be a pretty good democratic region and those voters have all gone to donald trump. >> tim, you know politics is a dynamic undertaking. people try different, things they find out what works, if someone finds something that, works other people a bit. it's a sort of evolutionary process. one thing that struck me and just watching dolan, i don't think he represents the republican base at all, but it does strike me that if you go back to 2015 -- and you are there working that race, whatever you said about donald trump he didn't sound like everyone else in the race. right? and it is now the case that everyone just sounds the same. they all some of the same, all of them sound like trump, trump even sounds like he's doing a trump impression. i do wonder like what that does, what opportunities that creates in republi

. >> the ohio primary is a test of trumpism. former president trump decided to endorse j.d. vance but he almost didn't have to choose from a wide variety of folks this we competing for his attention. the fact that former president trump chose one put him and his judgment and his movement on the line. >> reporter: trump choosing to back author and venture capitalist j.d. vance, known for writing "hillbilly elgy" later picked up by netflix. the adaptation focusing on vance's modest beginnings growing up in middletown ohio, reflecting his family's appalachian roots. the highly coveted and late endorsement from the former president upending one of the most heated and expensive republican primaries in the nation. >> we're going to send j.d. vance to the united states senate. >> reporter: despite vance once calling trump reprehensible and an idiot, he still received the former president's stamp of approval. >> he's a guy that said some bad [ bleep ] about me. in fact, if i went by that standard, i don't think i would have ever endorse

and i would ask your guest to speak about the redistricting issue many ohio in regard -- in ohio in regard to the decision by the ohio supreme court calling the redistricting unfair and yet it still stands. and then as a very concerned voter, i really dig deep into the candidates. i'm a dem, and so in the primary i'll be voting for john cannily. i went to hear debate at central state when him and nan whaley, and he just stands far above nan whaley in regard toan his work many cincinnati with the big solar farm, the innocence project which, you know, i think his group has gotten 345 people out of -- 34 people out of prison. he is really steadfast. and then what i know about knapp whaley is -- nan whaley is not helping ael 75% black district n dayton where a 93-year-old hospital was being torn down called good samaritan. she did not do anything about thatat as well as the fbi has described the dayton, dayton officials as a culture of corruption. and so my research, i just -- i'm so going with john cranl everything y, and i end encourage ohio voters to do the same, because he has an incredibl

now you look at ohio, man. it is a sea of red. >> this is trump/biden 2020 in ohio. take a look here. here's an example of exactly what you're talking about. in 2020 donald trump wins this county by 42 points over joe biden. play this back against hillary clinton, the margin was almost 40. i don't know why it's showing us the 2012 republican primary. i was hoping this would show you the obama/romney race, because it was two points in this county in 2012. obama was competitive. ma honing county, donald trump wins this by two. hillary clinton wins by three. we're still getting the primary results. obama won it by 28 in 2012. >> geez. >> good for rick sanatorium, he kept it competitive in the primary. sorry. this should say 28 points for barack obama back in 2012. that's the kind of movement you saw. >> for democrats trying to figure out exactly what's happened to them nationally, they can look no further than ohio. you're right. i mean, there are counties in ohio, steve, that republicans are running away with. just eight years ago, democrats were winning. >> the flip s

those folks no longer exist in ohio. judy: we will see what happens in ohio. people are saying, will this happen in every republican primary? no way to know that right now, but donald trump is still a factor. annie: jd vance was lagging behind in this campaign until donald trumpent in and endorsed him. you saw a fox news pollhat came out shortly after the endorsement. it was practically doubled, and incredible jump. none of us have a crystal ball, we don't know what will happen. the polling has been difficult to follo but you saw that trump had an impact and really pushed jd vance, at least into a poll position where he could win. judy: we are also watching pennsylvania and others, georgia. i want to quickly turn both of you to a story in politico today, inside reporting that the ite house is looking at structuring their midterm strategy around going against, who else, donald trump, and his wing of the republican party what does that say to you? amy: they do not want this to be what midterms traditionally are, a referendum on the party in charge. not when the

he wants to be a player in ohio. he sees ohio as trump country, and it is a state where as john said, even though he did lose, he won by eight point, and i'm old enough to know that it was a swing state on the presidential level, and it is not anymore, and the fact that everybody except for matt dolan and john talked about him who is a businessman and running as more of a traditional pre-trump conservative, and everybody else has been tripping over one another to be the trump candidate even those, even after those who are not jd vance did not get his endorsement, they are some of them kind of ignoring that and still making the argument that they are the most trump-like. josh mandel, and he has the the culture wars, you know, tied up for sure. i was watching an ad that he has out this morning where he says black lives matter is racist. i mean, that is the kind of attempt that people like him that candidates like him are trying to put out there in order to pull that sector of the gop electorate towards him, but it is h

senate in ohio but suzanne ended up winning. but so i guess you could say it didn't necessarily hurt them all that much in that primary although it was a splintered field. the late trump endorsement was important in fans winning. interestingly enough there is i think of ohio as being a particularly diverse place but there's a lot of different eastern european enclaves in northeast ohio and one of them is people with ukrainian dissent in northeast ohio so if you're up there you see a lot of ukrainian flags and that kind of thing and some of those places are places where trump did well or better than republicans did pass tim ryan is going to win he needs to claw back some ancestral democrats and maybe he sees the ukraine issue as being one piece of that. >> host: if he's going to win how you read that race? >> we call the ohio senate race likely republican. it's safe likely, lead or cost of self tossup is obviously the mostcompetitive . we see that as a considerable favorite but we sort of leave open the possibility ryan could swi

the tables in ohio because the tables in ohio because immigration, border security, what's going on in ukraine, gas concoursesum, everything that is vexing and perplexing them. pexing and perplexing them. they fearrp is at the feet of at the hands of people like tim ryan, the democratic nominee up against j.d. that's a total phony really a mini joe biden next generation. in anygt loch ness monster up in washington 20 years completely unremarkable has alreadymaal lost one race for president. sound familiar? joe biden against energy ace biden against energy independence and all of that and voted for bill back better . eo so i think now republicans need to make sure that people like tim ryan ret get defeated in the fall to keep that portman seatnt in republican has huge night for america, forig a huge night for america. first leader donald trump. he all right. here's democrat senate candidate tim ryan. candidate tim ryan. distance himself from his own party , defunding the police is way off the mark. we need more cops, not less. my party also got it wrong on the trade deals to send your j

let me end where i started back to that ohio race. how big a deal is a screw up in the final hours to say i'm really happy that j.d. mandel is our endorsement and it's really j.d. manns. mandel treated out thank you, mr. president we appreciate the nod. >> brit: it's a kerfluffle i don't know if it will swing any votes. it does suggest trump's endorsement of vance was something less than full throated since he couldn't remember his name the very next day. hard to completely overlook that isn't it? >> bret: that's right. brit, as always, thank you. >> brit: thank you, bret. >> bret: stocks recovered late to finish the dow was up 84. the s&p 500 gained 23. the nasdaq rose 201 today. up next, new indications of just how concerned americans are becoming about inflation and the political ramifications of that concern. first here is what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. keep wyld wildfires from growing. big blaze is burning near the community of las vegas has charred more than 188 square miles. fox 5 in at

he talked about what he was doing in ohio. you would think that given the direction of the ohio republican party, he would be punished. but mike dewine has remained the mainstreet republican in many aspects that usually gets punished in the age of trump or in the post-trump age. how is he sitting at 46% today? >> one thing to keep in mind joe, this is a large lead that dewine has in the polling, 46. but add 29 and 17 together and you get 46. one of this thing thats that benefited him, is when this race was taking shape, was that renacci was going to have a one-on-one with dewine. he had run for the senate with trump's endorsement. he believed getting into this race, that he would take what you're describing, channel that into an endorsement from donald trump, and get a one-on-one contest with dewine and maybe be able to sort of condense that anti-dewine/pro-trump vote. i think renacci has struggled as a candidate. we saw this with him in 2018. and what's happened, is this guy, joe blystone, has surprised everybody. a business

i have known that ohio republicans have been responding to my message it's about ohio. it's about ending biden's inflation, getting energy independence and ohio workers back to work and being america strong. that has been resonating for months over the campaign trail. i think people as they begin to pay attention to this race and there are seven of us to choose from they realize there is one candidate, me, talking all about ohio, going to washington to fight for ohioans and momentum is great. we saw it in pouring rain. the response was great. >> dana: a question then. president trump went ahead and endorsed j.d. vance, a hard fought competition between josh mandel and j.d. vance to get the enforcement. since the endorsement vance's polling numbers have gone way up. do you think it has a possibility of putting him over the top tonight? >> well, it's always a possibility. what i think has happened is the other three candidates no longer have a campaign to run on because they were running for that endorsement. look, i have been running on trump policies. i've been running

states senate in ohio. thank you very much for joining us tonight, congratulations on the big win last night. how does it feel to be ignored by the national media? because the word trump is associated with the other guy? >> [laughs] we got them right where we want them lawrence. we are excited about the race, it has a lot of momentum. and i think you're right, you made the point that jd vance got one third of the vote. and [inaudible] got a third of the vote. and he was anti trump. and he was saying that the election was legit and those voters are going to come and vote for me. we are excited about the prospects. >> so what does the -- what does it mean for ohio? if ohio puts another republican senator in the senate. voting to confirm these justices who want to remove constitutional rights, are we as we are seeing happening now. >> if you take this particular issue of abortion, and repealing, and getting rid of roe v. wade. ohio has some of the most extreme abortion laws in the entire country. so all of tho

vance in ohio. cnn is projecting that vans will win the senate primary in the race to replace retiring ohio senator rob portman. it's possible that j.d. vance does not win this primary without the trump endorsement from the former president was one of the very first people he thanked. >> i have absolutely got to thank the 45th president of the united states donald j. trump. ladies and gentlemen, they wanted to write a story that this campaign would be the death of donald trump's america first agenda. ladies and gentlemen, it ain't the death of the america first agenda. >> on the democratic side ten-term ohio congressman tim ryan easily won his senate primary, he will now face off against vance in november. i should note tim ryan will join "new day" in just a few minutes. >>> in the race for governor in ohio the incumbent governor republican mike dewine secured the nomination in a bit for a second term, this was seen as a referendum on dewine's handling of covid. he depended off four challengers. he

we're monitoring primary results from ohio. we'll have them throughout the hour as well at the bottom of the scream. the far left mob is at it again in what is a blatant attempt to intimidate the u.s. supreme court, obstruct justice and someone leaked justice alito's majority opinion overturning roe v. wade. it was only a draft. that doesn't necessarily mean that's the final decision. tonight we're goi

and in ohio it's a plus eight trump state. so he's got his work cut out for him, but i think it's a wonderful race partly because i've got to believe that eventually, you know, i like ohio. i spent a lot of time in ohio when i was running for president and when i was dnc chair. fundamentally the people from ohio are decent, thoughtful people. at some point decent, thoughtful people can't vote for shisters and people like jd vance or josh holly or this other collection of god knows what's the matter with them. >> everyone knows what aiatang fan you are. and that really seems to be what's happening with billionaires taking more control of everything in america from the economy, which makes sense. that's where they are. to the democracy, to social media that's so powerful when you look at the acquisition of twitter. peter teal is someone who might not be as famous as elon musk, but he was a trump guy from the beginning. he poured money into race. i want to look at one headline here because we only learned this kind of after the f

vance in ohio. you see the numbers there. vance is projected to be the winner in the hotly contested republican senate primary. cnn projects he has won that race and the race to replace retiring ohio senator rob portman. vance probably does not win this contest without the trump endorsement. and the former president was one of the first people that vance thanked. >> i have absolutely got to thank the 45th, the president of the united states, donald j. trump, ladies and gentlemen. they wanted to write a story that this campaign would be the death of donald trump's america first agenda. ladies and gentlemen, it ain't the death of the america first agenda. >> so on the democratic side, tim ryan easily won his senate primary. he'll vase vface vance in novem. and mike dewine secured the nomination in his bid for a second term. he defeated four challengers. this was seen as a referendum on dewine's handling of covid, something that governors around the country will face. he will face tnan whaly, she bet john cranley there. brianna?

this will be an open seed for the ohio _ latest? this will be an open seed for the ohio senate i latest? this will be an open seed for the ohio senate orj latest? this will be an open - seed for the ohio senate or the united states senate representing 0hio, united states senate representing ohio, with a 50—50 senate control of the seat could decide who controls the senate in washington, dc. there is one democrat who is prominent running, who has already been declared the winner of his primary, tim ryan, was the congressman representing eastern 0hio, by the republican field is very crowded and the person who is campaign headquarters i am here at now, jd vance, received a donald trump's endorsement. there are four other candidates running, three other were also vying for donald trump's endorsement. butjd vance saw a boost in his standings and with early results coming in, he has a narrow lead. the people here at the election party behind me are cautiously optimistic that the candidate could prevail, even with only 20% of the vote. h

on the other hand he only gained nine points that means one out of every 11 republicans in ohio cito kate mr. present you tell me what to do and i'm going to do it. 68% of the republican voters in ohio, over 68% voted for someone else. the presidents endorsement is really powerful particular effect causes things to happen like a bringing of money into the campaign at the last minute. there also limitations to it. think about a one out of every 11 republicans in the states another presence told me what to numb going to do it and over two thirds of the republican said doesn't make a difference to me at all. but my reaction to this is okay, i take your point about the caveat they are part i remember 2016 the president of the united states who is then a candidate former president donald trump he was only getting a plurality of the vote in a very divided field because he controlled a significant faction he was able to win. if you control that kind of a faction within a party in a multi- candidate field, can't you pusher candidates over the top and have outsize influence? >> if you've got

his pick in ohio is jd vance, josh mandel. he addressed the flood dismissing it saying the president is very much on board with his campaign. the slip up couldn't have come at a more crucial moment thoi because this is a wide open senate primary contest. a fox news poll last month had four candidates in double digits and a whopping 25% saying they don't know who they are dwoing to vote for. it wouldn't be a stretch to see vance, mandel, dolan or gibbons come out on top and it's unlikely the winner will take the majority of the ballots. election day is tomorrow, which means we'll see how former president trump's first endorsement in a 2022 senate republican primary will hold up. msnbc is on the ground there following this race. jesse, great to see you. you have talked to both jd vance and josh mandel recently. what are they telling you how they are approaching this home stretch of the campaign? >> reporter: we have also talked to more voters than i can keep track of at this point. as you said, it appears to be yone's race. thos
