>> Black and white of God such a righteous nation of people who call our God
their God have come together to create such an amazing country. But our
country is in trouble, our country is wounded, our country is divided, and I
believe our country is divided intentionally. So we got to do our part. We
have the best story to tell what the lab is telling that's not our story. We
got to be bold. We got to lean into you all saw the long lines coming at me
and you saw me leaning into it. You didn't see me back off. You didn't see me
go on my heels. Because I know what it is that I'm fighting for. I know who I
am so no one can define me, I know who I am. Learn who you are. This nation is
about [inaudible 00:01:05]. >> We're going to monitor all the headquarters for
the news tonight as these votes still come in. But joining me now is Tom
Bevan, co-founder, and president of Real Clear Politics, Stephen Miller,
former senior advisor to President Trump, founder of America First Legal, and
Monica Crowley, former Trump Treasury Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs
and host of the Monica Crowley podcast. Monica, this really has been one of
the most fascinating primaries that we've seen in some time in Pennsylvania.
You have a lot of people who are impressive in their own right. Obviously,
Mehmet Oz has his unbelievable force on television for so long. Is that
household name? Kathy Barnette, a lot of people hit her there she speaks in
the heart. A lot of people don't like her, but many people found her very
authentic. And Dave McCormick, the Army Ranger, obviously big career in
finance, comes across as a nice guy. What's your thought right now? >> The top
three candidates, well, you're exactly right all brought something different
to this race and different to the table. What made this race particularly
fascinating was the fact that there was a real split in MAGA World. President
Trump obviously endorsements that Oz, but you have deep McCormick who swiped
in apparel served as the Deputy National Security Adviser in the Trump
administration for a while. So you only have a series of advisors split and
series of endorsements split among these candidates. I actually think this is
incredibly helpful and I think it's healthy for the Republican Party for the
America first movement to how this competition between a couple of
extraordinary candidates, all bringing different things to the table. We've
got a real nail-biter on her hands here. We'll see how it shakes out. But I
think the voters of Pennsylvania here we're also very split, obviously between
these two top candidates. And Kathy Barnette, who professed to be America
first and the authentic candidate. I thought for a while that she might have a
lane, she created a lane, but it's not enough tonight. >> Tom, here's how
MSNBC's favorite former Republican , frame the midterms. >> So today's GOP are
not where apartment are. Jeb Bush or any of those others, Mitch McConnell,
frankly, in many ways they would represent that traditional almost Chamber of
Commerce Main Street, Republican line. If you take Barnett and Oz's numbers,
well over 50% of Republican voters who still believe that Trump is the future.
If these are their nominees, they're going to go down in Pennsylvania and
North Carolina, Georgia, and elsewhere come November. >> Tom and Mr. Jolly is
not so Jolly about the populace turn of the Republican Party, but isn't that
where the party has moved some time ago and continues to move? >> Absolutely.
Listen in the populism of the stream is in the Democratic Party as well, you
see Fetterman who is a candidate, who tries to be the working class populace
as well. And that's what Bernie Sanders' campaign was on. In this Senate race,
it looks like the last-minute attacks on Kathy Barnette really did hurt her if
you believe her surge and the polls was real and that some of those folks may
have pulled back and ended up shifting back to McCormick. But this is a very
tight race, can come down to just a couple of thousand votes. And it has been
a fascinating race to watch. It's going to be a fascinating general election
to watch as well but at the senate level and the gubernatorial. >> Steve, we
were talking a few moments ago to senator Josh Hawley about this populist
America First agenda. Now, back when you worked at the Senate and you and I
were on the radio together all those years ago. We were pushing these issues
at the border and China and trade, and there are only a few out there who did.
President Trump then and obviously not in politics was pushing these as well.
But there are some in Republican leadership would just haven't caught up. And
they're throwing their isolation that's labeled around and I just don't think
that's working anymore. >> The smallest share of the American electorate is
the Jeb Bush electorate. People that want corporate Chamber of Commerce
republicanism are the tiniest sliver of American voters. Candidates are
running across the country tonight and winning on the populist, Trump America
first platform, strong borders, safe communities, no woke politics, no
indoctrination in our schools. Men are men, women are women. Law enforcement
is wonderful and we want low inflation and a strong dollar. These issues are
going to carry us to victory in November if we unite, as you say and I will
also add to this, there are no more democratic populists. They are all
phonies, every single one of them backs big tech corruption, every single one
of them backs big business, open borders, every single one of them, backs big
business woke corporatism. Populism is dead in the Democratic Party if you
want a populist candidate, Republicans are the only game in town. >> Well,
that's what we said in the angle. And Monica, again, this idea of open
borders, open trade with China, and endless war. Young people don't want it. I
don't think that people of Pennsylvania want it, people of North Carolina,
don't seem to be cheering it, but the top four guys in the Republican Party
are still like it's 2004 all over again. >> They're acting like this is 20
years ago. You're exactly right, but they don't recognize or refuse to
recognize, is that Donald Trump so smashed the paradigm of what republican
base voters want and expect. >> He listened to the Republican base, he
respected them. >> That's right. And he spoke to their economic insecurities
above all, and all of these issues are linked, whether it's the border or
natural sovereignty, the CCP, so all linked to economic insecurity. Donald
Trump looked at the forgotten men and women of this country, Laura, and he
said, I see you, I hear you, and I will be your champion. Successful
Republican candidates need to adopt that mold and those that do are the ones
that are successful on primary nights. >> Now Tom, when you see this
nail-biter in Pennsylvania tonight we're going to go back to the board in a
moment. It's 1% dividing the candidates, the top two now McCormick and Oz, 1%.
Now, after this race is called, whether it's Oz or McCormick, the Republican
Party has a choice to make. Does it not to unite and fight to November or to
keep picking at each other and it's like death by a thousand cuts. >> That's
exactly right. And look, to win elections, you need to have a united party and
you need to be able to have a message that will be sent to win over swing
voters. So those are the two things that you absolutely have to do. And this
has been a contentious primary. There's no question about it. He has shown
that this isn't within the Republican Party. And so we'll see whether they're
able to patch things up and move forward as united party. They're going to
need every single vote in November again, at the senate level and the
gubernatorial level. >> And Steve, it looks like congressman Cawthorn, one of
the youngest or the youngest Republican to win in ever, I believe in the House
of Representatives, has conceded his seat. Any lessons learned there? >> Well,
he suffered a great personal tragedy and we should just all wish him well. He
has a bright future if he wants to have it and he's been through a great
ordeal. But I just wanted to say again, Laura, you are 100% right about where
the heart of the party is and where the heart of the American people are. We
want our jobs here in the United States, we want our manufacturing here, we
want our jobs here, we want our wealth here. We don't want globalism, we want
America first. >> And Monica, in the end, after this night is done and
everyone puts their piece of humble pie away, whatever the results are, are
you confident in November this could be a real change election as a midterm?
Not just a regular midterm, but a real route of the Democrats coast to coast.
>> Yeah, 1,000%. And I think that the Republican voters understand the stakes,
Laura, and they understand that this needs to be an extinction level event for
the Democrats. >> I like that. Now, back to the billboard where America's
Newsroom co-anchor, Bill Hemmer standing by with all the latest. It gets
closer and closer, Bill. >> Yes, it does. Automatic recount, Laura, statewide
if it's less than 0.5%. Okay, you got that? >> Got it. >> That's where we
begin this year, okay? Because look where we are, we're at 0.9% between David
McCormick and Dr. Oz. And Kathy Barnette, you heard her speech a moment ago,
dropped off into third place a short time ago. So you ask yourself now, Laura,
where are the remaining votes? Where do you find them throughout the Keystone
State and the 67 counties on the board here? Just a reminder, this is
Pittsburgh over here in the West, Philadelphia down here in the Southeast,
Harrisburg in the center part of the state. If you look at the outstanding
vote that remains now, you go Southeast of Pittsburgh, Westmoreland County.
That is, by the way, the place where Donald Trump went, had the rally with Dr.
Oz about a week-and-a-half ago. Pittsburgh here, this is Westmoreland County.
Right now Lehigh County, you know how there are 67 counties statewide, Laura?
It ranks number 10 in terms of population. They have about 60% of the vote
reporting, which means 40% of the vote is still outstanding. Pretty simple
math. Even this laid out we can do that. That's in Westmoreland. Now I want to
take you across the state and show you what we're getting here in the
Southeast. It's Philadelphia down here, the green area. I showed this a short
time ago. Bucks County, strong population, four out of 67. A moment ago, it
was reporting that only 18% of the vote was in. If that's the case then,
they've got a ways to go. Let me pop around here a moment here. Montgomery
County, three of 67, they were reporting less than half of the vote in at 40%,
so still a ways to go there as well. Down here in Delaware County, five of 67,
a lot of folks live down here in Southeastern PA. They were 27% of the vote,
so a lot there in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Still outstanding that may make
up the difference again between McCormick and Oz and determined really the the
outcome, the ultimate outcome here. Pop up here this is in Northampton County.
You see Oz leading McCormick in this specific county. But there too you have
just about half of the boat is in so there's more ballots to be counted out
there. Come down here to Lancaster, Pennsylvania here. Yes. Got it. So they're
around the same area as Northampton along Susquehanna River here. Lancaster,
you've got the farmland here. Amish Country as well in Southern Pennsylvania
right along the Southern border there. Lancaster is reporting about 54% of the
votes in so there is still. So I guess in summary, Laura, what I would tell
you as of 10:41 PM East Coast time, in Pennsylvania you're really waiting on
this part of the state here to clock in and we'll see how much this changes.
And since we've been talking here, we've reduced the count to 0.8%. This
number says 95% of the vote in, that is the estimated vote in the beginning
and I based on what we believe through the Associated Press and others could
be the projected vote. That number can change, go higher or can go lower
depending on when the votes are tallied when they come in. If you get a good
turnout, as we saw in Virginia last fall, that number went higher and higher
then it started to drop down a little bit , that's because of turnout. And
that could be the case in Pennsylvania tonight, but we'll just have to wait
and see here. But as we stand right now, Laura, you're at 0.8%. Remember I
said 0.5, I think I did, I think I told you 0.5%. >> You did. Bill, I'm just
seeing that right now McCormick is up eight in Allegheny County, that's a
significant difference in Allegheny for him right now. Is it eight? So yeah,
about 8%. >> 8%. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Good math. Yeah, that's right. >>
Well, that's also key. But we're still missing key areas of Philadelphia. And
Bill, you've been around this game so many times. Why is it that Philadelphia
seems to always come in late? >> I mean, it depends what you're talking about
here. >> Or is it just me? >> If you're talking about the collar counties
around Philadelphia, we're pretty well. The city of Philadelphia, which is
also the county of Philadelphia, right here. >> Yes. >> The reason we haven't
talked about that a lot is because if you go and read this a little bit here,
Laura, you're not talking about a ton of votes. If this were a Democratic
primary between, let's say Fetterman. You see the difference? Fetterman today
picked up almost 35,000 votes on his own. Conor Lamb came in third in
Philadelphia, he got 25,000. On the Republican tally, Oz is at 7,500,
McCormick is at 5,000. So you see, Philadelphia, the city of Philadelphia,
it's about 85:15 Democrats to Republicans, so there's just a slight
distinction there. But your point is well taken about the collar counties
here, Bucks and Montgomery and Delaware. >> And it looks like in Bucks County
the numbers coming in for McCormick are also, I guess, decent, correct? >> In
Bucks County? >> Yes. >> McCormick, of the vote that's tallied he has 3,000
raw votes, Dr. Oz has 2,300, and the difference is 7% points. Got that?
Officially Laura, factor 0.9%. >> Wow. Bill, it's so great to be on the air
with you at the Billboard. It's awesome. Thank you so much Bill, we'll check
back with you. Tom Bevan, again, this is so razor tight. We love nights like
this because it's really exciting. Final thought on where this stands and how
this might then go on and affect other primaries as the time goes on before
November. >> Yeah. I mean, you look at the raw vote total, I mean, McCormick
has been holding steady at about 7,700 vote lead. And Oz, although he's been
ticking up in terms of the percentage, he might end up running out of runway
here because there just aren't that many votes left out and this is going to
be very, very close. I suspected it may get into a recant territory, and that
would mean we wouldn't know who the winner is for potentially a few more days.
>> Stephen Miller. >> My final comment tonight is, Republicans in November run
against uncontrolled crime, uncontrolled migration, uncontrolled inflation,
and strong families, and you will win historic victories. >> Monica. >> So
many core Democratic constituencies are just falling away from the Democratic
Party. They're hemorrhaging African-American voters, Latino voters, women
voters, younger voters. They're all coming to the Republican Party because
what we're seeing under unified Democratic control and the Biden
administration, Laura, is a historic catastrophe. So well, Republican voters
know what they want to do in November. I think more and more core Democratic
constituencies are also coming on board and you are going to get an extinction
level event, as I've said, for the Democrats come November. >> Are we going
back to the Mesozoic age? Which age are we going back to? Panel, great to see
you all. And we're going to take out live to McCormick and Oz headquarters on
the other side of the break. Plus, we have reactions of Biden's divisive and
predictable Buffalo speech. Stay with us.  MUSIC   BACKGROUND  That's a 0.5%,
the difference between McCormick and Oz. It goes to an automatic recount. And
indeed, 0.3% lead for Dave McCormick. Looks like this is headed to an
automatic recount in Pennsylvania or something drastic changes. Shannon Bream
is going to take over. Razor-thin margins, Pennsylvania. See you tomorrow. >>
Hello and welcome to a special coverage, tonight's election coverage on Fox
News at night. I'm Shannon Bream in New York. Breaking tonight we are watching
as race results continue to pour in from primaries in five states, including
Pennsylvania in North Carolina, which could reveal a lot about how much
support there is still there in the Republican Party for the former President,
Donald Trump, and the picks that he makes. The winner has already been
declared on the Democratic side of the battle for Senator in the Keystone
State, which could prove to be bellwether for the 2022 midterms and a chance
for that party to flip a previously republican held Senate seat. Lieutenant
Governor, John Feldman, a progressive who by the way suffered a stroke just
days ago, has won tonight, will be on the ticket in November. Now that race is
still too close to call on the Republican side, where a result can actually
end up being days away. That's according to the secretary of State, a printing
error making thousands of mail-in ballots unreadable by voting machines,
forcing election workers to do the laborious task of counting those votes. And
in North Carolina a bit of of a surprise upset, Trump-endorsed candidate,
Madison Cawthorn, current member of Congress, will reportedly not be
returning. Check Edwards telling supporters that Catherine called this evening
already to concede. We will have the latest on all the races we're following.
But first, let's begin with what is unfolding in the keystone state with the
one and only, Bill Hemmer. What you got for us on the billboard? >> I'm doing
some math over here. Shannon, that's what I'm doing. >> I was promised there
would be no math so we're going to leave that to you. >> Take 325,952 and
subtract 323617, and you get 2335 votes that right now separate Dave McCormick
from Dr. Mehmet Oz. So that's where we are. We're at 0.2% in the keystone
state. I'll put this away and I'll let our viewers know what we think right
now based on some of these estimates right now throughout the state of
Pennsylvania where we think the vote is still outstanding. I take it to the
east side here down here around Philadelphia. Remember, Pittsburgh is over
this way. Here's Philadelphia in the Southeast. This is Bucks County. Bucks
County has about half the votes still outshining. It's reporting about 53% of
the vote here. Lot of folks living down here heavily populated part of the
state here in the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania. Montgomery County ranks
3rd out of 67. We just got a vote dump there. About 85 percent of the vote is
now in in Montgomery County, which bumps us up a lot compared to where we were
just about 30 minutes ago. Montgomery, a lot of folks who are just on the edge
of the city of Philadelphia. Down here Delaware County as well. Just watch
this five of 67 here. Delaware is at 27 percent in, so there's 3/4 of votes
still outstanding in Delaware County. So that's still has to be taken into
account here. Pop on up too. Sorry. My apologies, Shannon. Northampton County,
you see Dr. Oz leading McCormick there in the county. But Northampton again,
they just have about half of the vote that is still out here. Lancaster down
here along the board of the Maryland, you have 25% of the votes still to be
turned in. So there's still some votes out there in Lancaster as well. So
Shannon, what I want to tell you is that this number that you see in the upper
right-hand corner, you see that in numbers as 99 percent, that is the
estimated vote in on this particular election. Now, based on turnout, if you
get more votes in, that number can drop down in 98. It can come down to 97
depending on how many votes might be out there. If you remember, if you were
with us in November, that was the case in the State of Virginia. Then we moved
to New Jersey as well. There was heavy turnout in both states. And it looks
like Pennsylvania is doing something very similar tonight on the Republican
side. One more thing I'll show you here, Shannon, you're wondering why is
there gray. This little block. This is Potter County. Potter County doesn't
have a ton of people. It ranks 63 out of 67. Total population as of the last
census was 17,457. So Potter County as of tonight at 11:05 PM is still
outstanding and so too is this race between McCormick and Oz at 0.2%. >> Every
time. You know I married into the Bryn family and they're all over
Pennsylvania. And as recently as today, I'm still getting text from them
asking me questions about the various candidates. They felt like this race had
gotten so confusing with the late search from Kathy Barnette and, they just
were asking me questions still, these people have been campaigning for a year
or more. >> You right about that. >> And they down to having to go to the
ballot box today and still unsure what to do. >> Where your family members,
did they like the race, did they like the commercials or were they sick of it.
>> We were in Pennsylvania for the weekend and I expected that I would see a
lot more signs and, ads everywhere and I really didn't but I don't know. How
it gets to the end of a race where you've seen everything, you've heard these
people, they've been in your diner, they'd been in your church, they've been
everywhere and your Elks Lodge. They felt a little bit overwhelmed almost too
much information. In the end they were having a rally and I don't know what
they decided today. I don't know who. >> Is like go home already. I feel that.
>> Yeah. So okay. Next update from you, what can we expect? >> Well, I just as
you said you've been telling me about your family. We bumped up to 0.3%. Why
is this significant? Because the rule in Pennsylvania is that if your 0.5% or
less there is an automatic recount. So we are right now within that range at
0.3%. And Potter is still outstanding Shannon. >> All right. We're waiting on
you and counting on you. >> Sixty percent of the vote. So Fetterman advances
he will be the Democratic nominee likens himself to be a progressive. We'll
see how that cells in places outside of Philadelphia and the city of,
Pittsburgh. And Fetterman is going to take on either McCormick or Oz depending
on how this thing turns out here. On the governor's race on the Republican
side remember Donald Trump and Doug Mastriano. He was projected to win, he did
that today. Mastriano really in the end was an easy win over Lou Barletta
earlier tonight it was just about 23 points there. If I have time Shannon I do
want to show you down here in North Carolina. >> Yes. >> Because this is
something that we put on our radar really months ago when you started to hear
the rumblings among Republicans on Capitol Hill. They put Madison Cawthorn in
their sights. And he's a freshman Republican from Congressional District 11
which really is, if you were to take let me try this. If you were to take a
line and cut off this part of the state this is Congressional District 11. And
Madison Cawthorn has conceded to chuck out where's the state senator Edwards
had just more than 33% of the vote there. In North Carolina you have to get a
minimum of 30%, otherwise you go to a runoff. Well, neither man really faced
that because they were both over 30% but Edwards, just about a two-point
winner over Cawthorn and, his run in Washington will now end. Let me just show
you this here if I could here. So this is the Republican senate primary. This
was called a long time ago. Ted Budd was endorsed by Donald Trump, he won
tonight. Madison Cawthorn was endorsed by Donald Trump, he lost tonight.
Mastriano was endorsed by Donald Trump, he won tonight. And in the state of
Pennsylvania, as it stands right now, just check it one more time for you
here. Dr. Mehmet Oz was endorsed by Donald Trump and he trails David McCormick
by 0.3% at this moment in the night. Will she act? >> it is a tricky one and
listen we have to know that the North Carolina race, like every race it
depends on the candidates, the issues. Congressman Cawthorn has been caught up
in a storm of controversy, making accusations about fellow Republicans and
what was happening in Washington. And when confronted on them he couldn't,
explain what had happened. He's had all things go on in his personal life.
President Trump had said just days ago, let's give them a second chance , he
can hang on. It didn't sound like a full-throated endorsement but he's
certainly kept his name on that spec on Congressman Cawthorn. It looks like
tonight some of that other stuff that was beyond doing him a favour. >> I
would just add to. There are big heavy hitters in the state of North Carolina
who endorsed Edwards and one of them is Thom Tillis the Republican senator. >>
Right. >> They got behind his campaign and that must have made a difference
tonight when you consider how close that race was in the end. >> It was but
again you said it sounds like the concession is done and that primary is
decided. Bill don't go home. >> Okay are sure?. >> Stick by the board. Now we
going to go, check in with Brian Llenas who is tracking our hot primary, many
races tonight. Brian, how is it? >> Or less is an automatic statewide recount
in the state of Pennsylvania. It looks like we're heading that well, still
votes out there that could separate these two candidates. Kathy Barnette going
in, it was looked at as the polls that she was going to be a strong either 1,
2, or 3. Throughout the night as we got that raw vote total, we saw that vote
for Barnett diminish. If we put up the board right now of where the vote
stands, you're going to see over the next few minutes, some of these counties
finish some of the vote counting and you're going to see some of those numbers
just a drip. I don't think you're going to see at one moment a big dump
because we're in the process now of different counties going through the rest
of their vote. And depend we have about five different counties that were up
at about 60% of their counting, now they're in the process of going through
that. What does this mean? Potentially means a runoff on the Republican side
for the nomination for this the senate race. On the Democratic side, it was a
walk-away and the person who won is actually the person that Republicans
wanted to win. The Lieutenant Governor Fetterman determine who is much more
progressive than the line of Bernie Sanders. The moderate Democrats you talked
to said, "This race on the Democratic side should be given to Conor Lamb if we
want Democrats to win Pennsylvania Senate seat." The voters of Pennsylvania on
the Democratic side chose differently, they chose Lieutenant Governor
Fetterman who's in the hospital, currently had a pacemaker procedure today.
He's doing well, we're told fortunately, but had a stroke on the campaign
trail. He is now the Democratic candidate and it is coming down to David
McCormick and Mehmet Oz. And it looks like this our Shannon it's going to head
to a recount in the keystone state. >> Yeah. Just keeps getting tighter , the
more information, the more numbers we get, the tighter the races is. Then here
is the procedure as you said, if it's in such that half percentage point, this
could take a long time to get answers there. And it's interesting because
those two, Oz and McCormick had been neck and neck and really this late surge
by Kathy Barnette. Tonight she has not conceded her folks say that she's
wrapping it up for the night, no one is conceded. What do you make up for her
late rally because you and I both have interviewed her with just in the last
three or four days, there was real hope and momentum within her campaign that
she could pull off something rather stunning. >> Yeah. And I think she was
coming here, and the other two candidates were caught off guard by her
success. I said earlier tonight, going in, judging by the polls and the
average of recent polls, it was anybody's ball game, David McCormick could
come in third as at the beginning of this night as heading into election day.
But as we know, the only poll that matters is the election poll and the people
voting. Kathy Barnette had a interesting run, she had some controversy in the
final days. Both campaigns realized that the threat that she was, I think, and
spend some time going after her or even the former president having a robocall
and specifically mentioning her in his endorsement of amendment eyes and a
phone in event. I think that it is going to come down too that she was a major
factor in this race and without her in the position that she is, getting
whatever it is now, 24, 25% of the vote, there would be a different result by
four. >> So let's talk about North Carolina because that has been an
interesting one as well. In a sitting congressman who had the president's
endorsement, it wasn't full-throated but it was the president's take on
sticking with congressmen coupon, he has lost his primary tonight after lots
of hubbub in Washington about his personal and professional life as it is
played out in his first term. >> Yeah. And I think a lot of people looking at
that said he was destined because of multiple scandals to have problems. But
when the former president came in and said, "Let's give him a second chance ,
people make mistakes." The thought was maybe he can pull this out. You know
Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina endorsed the state senator to their
chuck Edwards in this race. And he put out a statement tonight saying that,
"Edward is the one that is positioned to move forward." I think the other big
story in North Carolina is the senate race and ten bug their winnings walking
away in that Republican race and that shouldn't be a position where
Republicans are in a pretty good space. Listen, if you think about the overall
environment, Republicans heading into November looking at inflation, at crime,
at immigration, at big picture issues, are well-positioned, but in these
individual stage, it really does matter who they choose to be their standard
bearer. And the state of Pennsylvania on the Governor's side, there's a
candidate there that gives heartburn to traditional Republicans here in
Washington and in Pennsylvania. And McCormick, he wins in that governor's
race, the nomination and the Republican side, and there's a real agitor about
the possibility that they're going to have a real tough battle in that
governor's race in Pennsylvania, we'll see. I think that now, either one of
these candidates, David McCormick or Mehmet Oz, are well-positioned in a
general election but who is the actual final candidate? I think it may take a
few days to find out. >> And so the president endorsements, there is a lot of
focus on that as well where he has named candidates, where he has stumped for
them, where he had done things for them, there was a lot of focus on the fact
that he decided to pick Dr. Oz in that Senate primary in Pennsylvania. And as
you said, he keep raised concerns about Barnett and the fact that he had a lot
of praise for her and he said," I think she's got a great future but there's a
lot we don't know about her". She hasn't been bedded in the same way, of
course, she'd been flying under the radar for 13 months so yes, there's been a
lot more questioning of her over the last few weeks if she's began to surge.
But there were some who felt like listen, he's covering his bets there by
picking Mariano who again easily won the nomination for the gubernatorial race
there, the primary in Pennsylvania. But he knows that people are watching
where he puts his name, where he puts his time, where it was [inaudible
00:50:36], and really trying to look and see if this is a litmus test for how
much control he still has over the GOP and the voters. >> That's right. The
mastery on a late endorsement may have been an AWS hedge. I'm not sure if you
know you have to take in the real estate realm of the former president and how
he thinks about things but he has a tremendous record as far as the
endorsement of tonight and I think it's more than 70 to now two, and we'll see
how it goes going forward. There's a lot of focus and analysis about how he
does with those endorsements and what that portends for 2024 but I think that
we should put our horse blinders on and focus on each individual state because
those states have different issues and those candidates provide different
answers to those issues. >> Yeah. And there are a lot of democratic primaries
tonight as well and what we're watching in many of those is the progressive
versus the moderate. Does the primary crowd go with the more progressive
left-leaning out their candidate or do they stick with someone viewed as a
little bit more moderate? Will be tracking those as well. Breton and I will
stay on it, Brett, thank you very much. Really react with much more election
coverage including lab reports on the ground in Pennsylvania, stick around. >>
The northern part of the state. Here's where we are at 0.2% between McCormick
and OZ, where the votes just going through the counties there. Again, it's
Bucks County and it's Delaware County. Where are they? Southeastern corner,
near the city of Philadelphia. This is bucks right here, 53% of the vote is
in. So you got what, about 47% outstanding. I mean, that's quick math for you,
right? Down here in Delaware County Montgomery, this is Delaware County here.
Delaware is reporting 27% of the vote, that's it. So they've got
three-quarters of the vote in that county alone, that's still outstanding. And
maybe you don't know Shannon, whether or not the difference between those two
counties can make a difference, now it's 0.3% between McCormick and OZ. And we
did the math a moment ago, right? It was roughly 2,500 votes or so. So can
make up 2,500 votes between those two counties. It's tough to say. It really
looks at the moment like this is definitely going to automatic recount
statewide and that's the rules in Pennsylvania that appears to be the case
between these two here tonight. Now, I do want to show you this Shannon,
because we're coming up on 1130 and East Coast time and this is let me get to
the right one here. The governor's race in Idaho is fascinating, right? You've
got Brad little being challenged by Lieutenant Governor same party, right? >>
Right. >> Janice McKee. Can you follow this right? Anytime the governor Little
left the state of Idaho during the pandemic, Lieutenant Governor McGeachin
took over. And she would change the COVID rules for Idaho. So when he came
back, he'd have to change it back again. This is Boise, this is Ada County
down here. It just gives you a little taste right now the most populated
county in entire state of Idaho, beautiful place by the way, population about
450,000 in Boise. And Littles got a decent run here on McGeachin, almost two
to one there in that race, so we'll watch it. There's also a congressional
district here. Congressional District 2, that's up for grabs tonight also. In
Oregon, there's three different congressional races that are very interesting.
I'll show you one of them right now. And that's because in this particular
race, let me find it here. This is Oregon Number 5. This is Kurt Schrader who
was endorsed by Joe Biden. Even though Democrats accused Schrader of tearing
apart, build back better and not advancing it in Washington. Joe Biden backed
Schrader over Jamie McLeod Skinner. Jamie McLeod Skinner has a two-to-one edge
right now in the early returns, she is a progressive and right now she is
turning the trick. And congressional district Number 5 down there in Oregon,
do I have you for one more second? Because I'd like to share this with you. >>
The more time the better. >> I don't know about that. We have had several
primary so far, right? But two of the biggest states were Ohio and Texas. And
voter turnouts is critical, tells you about energy and enthusiasm on behalf of
the parties. We just, looked at two, one is Ohio. And in 2022, we had a
million Republicans vote in the primary, two weeks ago tonight, in fact,
Shannon, you had about half of that number Of Democrats. If you compare that
number to four years ago in 2018, you see the difference. Republicans up 22%,
Democrats down 29. Look, you cannot take each state and go apples-to-apples on
this because primaries matter. They get different levels of attention, whether
they're Senate races or other governor races. So you can't do it for every
state. But we want to look at Ohio because the population-based then we want
to look at Texas because the population base is out there as well. And this
was the first to match. When America was looking at the war in Ukraine, didn't
look a lot of the results in Texas, but they're pretty interesting, right? In
2022 now you've got republican turnout, almost 2 million. Democrats are 1.1
million, compare that to 2018. And look at difference. Now Republicans were up
27% in state of Texas compared to Democrats that got just about a 4% bump. So
what that tells you is the energy and a lot of these primary races is on the
Republican side. And we have seen that consistency in a lot of these different
states and their racism. One last check here, is Shannon, I got two things for
you then I'm going to say, good night, okay? And this is important to your
0.3% as you can see on the board behind me. Remember I told you about this
estimated vote in about a half an hour ago was at 99%. It's dropped down a
little bit. Now that suggests that there are votes out there. We said this
number could change throughout the night because it was an estimated vote and
it was a projected vote. And it's gone from 99 down to 95. And the margin
there, well, I mean, you could do the math at home is roughly 3,000 raw votes
between McCormick and OZ at 11:30 at night here on the calendar, I will show
you that this is where we are. We're May 17th, we've been looking at Idaho,
Kentucky, Rand Paul, and he's winner earlier tonight, North Carolina, Oregon,
and Pennsylvania there. So what comes next a week from tonight you've got five
more primaries on the board, Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota, Texas, but Georgia
right here in the middle. It's going to get the bulk of the media attention
for the next seven days and we'll see which way it goes on Tuesday a week from
now. >> It is time for you to go home for your nap no matter where you come
back. What are you going to have for breakfast because you're going to need
some Wheaties or something, but Dana is going to have to carry that. >> Dana
is going to have to bring breakfast. >> That's going to bring breakfast and
carry the show or get out of here, go get some sleep. Thank you, Bill. >> Got
it. >> We're going to go and check in with Chief National Correspondent, Rich
Edson, who is at McCormick camp. Well, I got a few seconds. We'll come back to
you after the break. But what is the mood there right now, Rich? >> They're
gathered here. David McCormick going to be speaking to this crowd here.
They're rocking up the starship here. They've been holding on, they've been
watching that lead diminish Shannon. They're hoping, that they could do this.
They've been seeing some of the returns come in suburban Pittsburgh, Suburban
Philadelphia, North of that in the Lehigh Valley, they think they can hold on
in that regard. You're already starting to hear some of the cheers right now
and here he is right now. David McCormick. >> David McCormick. >> All right,
Dena, Thank you. Well, thank you all so much. I'm not sure if you have been
paying attention, we had a pretty good day today. I want to thank you all so
much for your support for what's happened across Pennsylvania today. There has
been a huge outpouring of support, we knew it, we felt it on the ground, we
knew it was working, we knew our message to take back this country, we knew
our message was resonating with the voters of Pennsylvania and they showed it
today and we're so incredibly grateful. Thank you all so much. And thank you
for the supporters in this room, it has been an unbelievable outpouring of
support, we feel such friendship, we feel such love for the people in this
room so thank you for everything you've done, we feel incredibly blessed to
have you with us, so thank you so much. >> In Pennsylvania, I want to check
back in with Chief Political Anchor and host of Special Reports, Bret Baier.
All right, Bret he is not conceding, he's not declaring victory, but he says
he does see a path to victory, he feels very good about it, talked about all
of those mail-in ballots that have to still be counted, but leaving the stage
on a positive note tonight. >> Yeah, listen, David McCormick is in a great
spot. In fact, he's outperformed where some people thought he was going to be
going in. He's the strongest candidate from the conservative traditional
Republicans who are up on Capitol Hill saying we want this person, but when
President Trump put his endorsement on Mehmet Oz it changed the dynamic and it
seemed like Oz, heading in, had more momentum. What McCormick is talking about
there is that some counties, several of them in Pennsylvania choose to hold
back and not open or count their mail-in ballots until they have to. And
within 0.5%, which is, again, the statewide rule that triggers a recount, then
those counties will count those ballots. So that starts tomorrow morning. But
it does not look like whatever is out there is going to take either candidate
beyond the 0.5%, at least we don't see that right now as we're looking county
by county, at what is left out there. So what does that mean? It doesn't mean
that it's another vote, it means that it is a legitimate recount of the votes
that were cast and at the end of that, the winner of that is declared based on
that recount. So I think you have a number of days still ahead. But Dave
McCormick is someone who really on the Western side of Pennsylvania outperform
those numbers, and in the wake of not getting an endorsement from the former
president, has performed very very well and could be in position to be the
nominee. >> Of course, Bret this sparks a lot of questions about how much
Kathy Barnette in her late surge pulled away from these two top contenders
because she's been a force in the last month or so that has really shaken up
this race in a way that those two top contenders hadn't had to deal with
before, and like I was talking to Bill about earlier got a lot of breams in
the family that I married into all over Pennsylvania who were still scrambling
today asking me all kinds of questions about the various candidates saying
they couldn't make up their mind. So it seems like our polling showing such a
tight race with these three in the last week or so, you got to wonder how much
Kathy Barnette, who looks like she will not be a player in this final
decision, really impacted those two different campaigns. >> 100% and talking
to some of the McCormick people as they saw the Barnett surge, they were
licking their chops, saying this is a possibility to split, perhaps a very
Trumping crowd, a MAGA crowd that maybe was not embracing David McCormick.
McCormick campaign is saying I'm all in on Trump policies, even though I
didn't get the nomination, all three of these candidates, they gave a lot of
praise to Donald Trump. But there seemed to be, at least in our anecdotal
talking to voters, Bryan Llenas and others, be a split between the Oz-Barnett
voter, and many of them, it seemed, chose going to Oz because of the former
president's endorsement. I'm just getting some of this coming in, 92% and
2,500 vote lead for McCormick. Outcome depends on the final vote in Bucks
County. This is according to someone following this very, very closely at the
margins here. You're looking at hundreds of votes. If it keeps going this way,
you could have a split where McCormick picks up some, maybe Oz picks up a
thousand, and the significant part of this is the early vote, which David
McCormick really did very, very well. You saw early in the night those numbers
really high for David McCormick. That's shocked some of the Oz folks, they
knew that the day of the vote was going to be very, very strong, the Trump
people felt really good about it. But as the night went on, that margin shrunk
and we're looking at probably something in the 0.2% range by the time we get
through with this night. >> Now, we have questions about how long that recount
takes, how long the state has to do that. The Secretary of State's office,
we're trying to get answers from them. Our reporter Salena Zito, who has deep
roots in Pennsylvania and has been covering this race boundary to boundary,
county to county, all over for months and months and months, she talked about
in recent days in some of her reporting how people who are huge Trump fans,
again, because you said these top 3 candidates all said they're MAGA all the
way, they are down with the policies all the way, they see the world and
governance the same way that President Trump did and does. She said that there
were those who were confused though because they felt like Dr. Oz was an
outsider, that he didn't have those same roots in Pennsylvania. And even
saying to her in many of these interviews that she did on the ground there
with people, even President Trump can get things wrong once in a while. So
even his most loyal supporters were very confused about where to go with their
votes with these three candidates. >> Exactly. And that is something that you
heard from even the most staunch Trump supporters, that they were concerned
about when this nomination, this nod came, that it was the right one. And
there were a lot of those folks who said to Dave McCormick, I don't even think
they had Kathy Barnette on the radar in the early days. But then they looked
at her as the possible vessel for Trumpsim going forward. But I do think that
you're looking now at 0.2% as you look at these numbers, in Pennsylvania being
at the center of the firestorm from 2020. Now, in a recount situation,
potentially in the Republican side is quite something. Now, we will say that
there were not that many anomalies tonight that were reported. A couple that
had to stay open a little bit longer. But we're going to see how well they
have bounced back from 2020 and dealing with vote tabulation in the next
couple of days. >> When I think to one of the interesting things that showed
up in our pulling last week, our Fox News polling specifically on
Pennsylvania, people were asked about what the most important factors would be
for them in choosing someone in the primary and the ability to win in the fall
was huge, that was a big number. And I think for a lot of folks who were
scared away by some options they didn't feel that Kathy Barnette had to answer
to their satisfaction. It seems like that may have been one of the things that
pushed them away from her today because it showed up in our polling as such a
primary focus for folks in deciding their votes in this very big field, they
want somebody they think will have the best chance against Fetterman in the
fall. >> Yeah. And I think you're right. And this is a real fizzle as far as
numbers. If you look at the polls going in and what transpired today, and that
may have transpired just in the past few days in the coverage of her campaign,
some of the answers to the questions that she was being asked. Both campaigns
obviously targeted her as they saw her rise. I will say that Republicans are
well-positioned no matter what in their mind. If McCormick or Oz win, they
feel like they are well-positioned in the general election against, again,
Lieutenant Governor Fetterman, who is a popular figure. But he is super
progressive and does not want Joe Biden in Pennsylvania. He is not a big Biden
person, he's a Bernie Sanders person. And that lines up as far as the election
that we're looking at right now, pretty well for the Republicans. I think
there are a lot of average folks on the ground in Pennsylvania. These are salt
of the earth, hardworking, dedicated patriotic people. I'm not sure how well
Bernie Sanders will play there. But he and the combination of Lieutenant
Governor are very interesting characters. And Democrats will have to decide
how far they want to go on the progressive train, and tonight they've said,
he's our guy. >> Yeah. And listen, you cover abortion, that's a figure, that's
a factor in Pennsylvania, and it's a factor on the progressive side, you cover
inflation and how they answer the question about inflation. If the answer from
Democrats and specifically progressive Democrats in Pennsylvania is we should
have spent more, that is going to be a tough thing for them to defend as the
administration is trying to do things to come out of the dark cloud that
they're under on inflation. This race is going to be fascinating for political
junkies. I think Pennsylvania is ground 0, even the governor's race now with
Mastriano, who is the Trump-backed candidate, the Democrats feel like they're
in a better position against that candidate on the Republican side, so it's
almost flipped on the governor's race and the senate race. >> All right, Bret,
you're like me. We love election years. We know our viewers do too. So thank
you for the time. Stick around, we're going to be right back with more special
election coverage on a big primary night. >> Before Nexium 24-hour, Anna could
only imagine a comfortable night's sleep without frequent heartburn waking her
up. Now, that dream is her reality. Nexium 24 hours stops acid before it
starts for all-day all-night protection. Can you imagine 24 hours without
heartburn? >> Ready to turn your dreams into plans and your actions into
achievements, explore over 75 programs in four-week classes at National
University. Your future starts today at nu.edu. >> When you have auto glass
damage, trust Safelite. This dad and daughter were driving when they got a
crack in their windshield. >> It's okay. We need to pull over. >> He wouldn't
take his car just anywhere. So he brought it to Safelite. We replaced the
windshield and re-calibrated their car's advanced safety system. So features
like automatic emergency braking will work properly. >> All finished. Wow.
It's great. Thanks. >> Stay safe with Safelite. Schedule now. >> Safelite
repair, Safelite replace. >> Right now someone could be listed as the owner of
your home and stealing thousands of dollars of your hard-earned equity. >>
Anybody who owns property should worry about home title theft. There is no
other crime that is so easy, so quick and so lucrative. >> Your home, your
equity, and your peace of mind can boldly stolen in one fell swoop by home
title of thieves like Matthew Cox. >> Nobody thinks that I can take their
house. Nobody thinks that. >> Believe it or not, a single page document is all
it takes to transfer. >> Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome conservative
outsider and US Senate candidate for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Dr.
Mehmet Oz. >> Thank you. I brought the whole plan out. I thought you'd enjoy
them. So I thought we'd start off thanking the people who have been so dear to
me throughout this process. This has been the Rock of Gibraltar for me. If any
of you, I think in running for anything, make sure you've got a Rock of
Gibraltar for you. My kids are all lined up behind me. God bless you-all.
Showed up at every point, filled in the gaps, made things happen, they were
otherwise seemingly impossible. So we're not going to have a result tonight.
When all the votes are tallied, I am confident we will win. We are making a
ferocious charge. But what is this close? What else would you expect?
Everything about this campaign has been tight. I want to thank my campaign
team. They're over here scattered about, work tirelessly to make sure that we
put our best foot forward. They taught me this area because I'm a heart
surgeon. I did not know politics, but I've learned under the tutorages of
wonderful people. And I want to thank some other individuals who are actually
unbelievably close friends, made a big difference in my life, were always
there at every moment. Let's start with 45, President Trump. President Trump
after he endorsed me, continued to lead into this race in Pennsylvania, he
knows all the subtleties of it. He was willing to participate with Tele-Town
Halls, which he advised that I do, was a brilliant idea. He participated in a
massive rally at Westmoreland County and God Bless you, sir, for putting so
much effort into this race. I will make you proud. I want to thank Sean
Hannity. Sean is like a brother to me. When Sean punches through something, he
really punches through it. He understands exactly how to make a difference,
and he's been doing that this entire campaign. Much of it behind the scenes,
giving me advice, the late-night conversations. Again, the kinds of things
that true friends do for each other. There is so many others I can thank. I'm
just going to toss out a couple of names. You know who you are. Mark, Perry,
Carson, Rosenthal, Ross. I can go on and on. But you-all know who you are and
you know how I charge for each and every one of you. My parents were
immigrants to this country recruited to come here because we needed doctors
back, and they saw the shining city on the hill that Ronald Reagan spoke up.
They were incredibly patriotic about our nation. I know many think that that's
city is little dim these days. That's not what I saw when I was campaigning. I
looked in the eyes of Pennsylvanians as I traveled across this beautiful
Commonwealth and I saw that light as bright as ever, raging forth. All that
wanted to be was unleashed. And that's why I'm running for the Senate, to do
just that. I'm running to allow us all to witness that brilliance. It's out
there, we just have to be able to believe in it. We are a land of plenty.
Let's remember that and remind ourselves because we're land of plenty, nothing
can hold us back. Even bonds that you think are unbreakable, they can be torn
away, barriers broken and pushed to the side. We have the ability in
Pennsylvania to fight for the soul of this country. We are such a critical
part a bellwether for the country that when we win the battles here in
Pennsylvania, it reflects on the entire country. So if the soul of
Pennsylvania's thriving and healthy, so when the soul of the nation. And
that's important because when you go around the world, people ask you, "Can
you save America? Can you make America strong as ever?" And I see, "Of course,
but why do you care?" And they say, "Because when we have issues here, we look
to America and we wonder, my goodness, if they figured it out, we can figure
it out." My friends, we are a role model to the world. When our city on the
hill is shining bright, others see it and they make their cities bright as
well. That's why I'm running for the Senate. That's why I'll be the next
senator from Pennsylvania ad that's what I promised we will bring to United
States of America. God bless you-all. I'll talk to you later. God bless you.
Get some rest. We've got a lot of work to do. I will come down to you guys
