city. >> new york's special election is a test case of wish issues will break through to a divided electric. 19 really is a swing district. it went for obama, then tromp, then swung back for biden. the latest polls show that democrat pat ryan and republican mark molinaro are running neck and neck within the margin of error . there is still a lot of last-minute money that has been trying to tip the scale. the gop let congressional leadership fund devoted $650,000 to supporting molinaro , but the house democrat campaign also spent six figures to boosting ryan with ads focused on abortion. shep, despite all of this attention, no matter who wins tonight, the they will only have a job for a couple of months because the districts have been redrawn. it could change hands again in november. >> either jerry nadler or karen maloney could be out of a job.

one of them will be. >> that primary battle in new york's 12 congressional district is pitting two titans of democratic party against each other. jerry nadler has been campaigning across town all day long. he is filing himself as the principal progresses in this race and he does have a commanding lead in the poll. >> i was out campaigning this morning. i will be out campaigning this afternoon. you do everything you can. you don't want to lose an election and think to yourself, if only i had done that. you do everything you can. >> nadler says, it is unfortunate he has been forced to run because of redistricting against his former friend and fellow health committee chair, carolyn maloney. she did not have any public events today, but she did post a couple of pictures of herself on twitter, outside, on the street this morning, even with her grandson. she has made to gender a big part of her campaign. >> it is a horrible time for women.

i never thought i would ever see a long roll back and my daughters would have less protection than i have. i would say that there is no democracy if women cannot determine their healthcare for their own bodies. >> both candidates are also trying to fend off a young political newcomer who says he is seeking generational change. shepard smith, the bigger issue here could be turnout. lots of folks in new york on vacation right now. they might be thinking more about actual parties and not political ones. in florida, two democrat are competing for the chance to take on the republican governor, ron desantis. congressman charlie crist , was once the republican governor of florida before he switched to independent, then democrat. he is facing off against the state's agricultural commissioner and former medical marijuana lobbyist, nikki

fried . she's 'the onl statewide elected democrat in florida and has focused largely on women's rights since the overturning of roe v wade. desantis barely won , but since then, yet come one of the most popular figures of all of the republican party. he is seen as a leading gop contender for the white house in 2024, if he decides to run. former president trump brought more than 700 pages of classified documents to his mansion in florida when he left the white house. some of them pertaining to the nation's most secret intelligence operations, according to a newly released letter from the national archives. the nation's acting archivist said to mr. trump's lawyer way back in may. is revealed that the justice department was alarmed and seeking immediate access to the trove of documents, some at the highest level of classification possible. according to the letter, the fbi and intelligence committee needed urgent access to the documents to do damage assessment based on the way

they were stored and transported . the doj also needed them for an ongoing criminal investigation. here is justice and intelligence correspondent, ken delaney. >> the letter says, the documents turned over in january included special access program materials, some of the most classified great in the u.s. government. that revelation sheds new light on how methodically the justice department acted before it took the dramatic step of executing a search warrant on the former president's house a few weeks ago. special access programs are a category of top-secret information, so sensitive that only a small number of people inside the u.s. government can see it. it is the kind of information that is disclosed could compromise america's national security and even get people killed. mar-a-lago is not exactly a security facility. it is a private beachfront club. the "new york times" is reporting altogether the fbi counted 300 classified

documents taken from mar-a lago, suggesting this was not simply a few mistakes in packing. the archived letter also tells us, trumps lawyer is seeking to block the fbi from taking the documents turned over in january. claimant, some of them might be protected by executive privilege. the national archives rejected the claim. the question in this case is not a close one, the executive branch is seeking access to records logging in and the custody of the federal government itself. bottom line, whether highly classified or not, these documents were the property of the u.s. government. after months of back-and-forth, the government finally sent law enforcement agent to take them back. storm watch and more than3 million americans under flood alert tonight. a deadly storm moving east after the devastating flash flood in arizona and north texas. today, the texas governor, greg abbott, signed a state of disaster declaration, freeing up state resources to help hard- hit counties. >> it is our understanding that what happened yesterday is the second worst rainstorm and

the u.s. embassy in kyiv sent that today. the state department has information russia stepping up efforts to launch strikes against ukraine's civilian infrastructure and government facilities in the coming days tomorrow is ukraine's independence day, 31 years of independence from the soviet union . tomorrow also marks six months since russia invaded ukraine . today, the ukrainian president spoke at a news conference in kyiv. reporters ask, what ukraine would do if russia attacked the capitol for the holiday . his response, if they attack us, they will see received a response, a strong response. nato supreme allied commander, now an nbc news chief international analyst. admiral, six months of fresh warnings of russian attacks , but zelinski seems ready to attack. is this a bit of a stalemate? >> it is a stalemate . that is a good way to put it.

by the way, i am wearing my ukrainian colors tie in honor of their independence tomorrow. they have inspired us all. they have this russian war machine to a standstill sort of effect we will announce over the next couple of days, shep, another significant crunch of very capable weapons going their way. the reason, putin wants to launch these strikes is, he is simply frustrated. this war is not going well for him. he is trying to regain at least part of his strategic narrative . i don't think he will succeed. ukrainians are on the march. >> the pentagon says, the latest round of weapons it is sending are going to help ukraine with counter attack . is it enough? is it adequate? >> i think it is, shep. it is very carefully tailored based on the recommendations of the ukrainians and our own counterintelligence. what it will do is allow ukrainians to reach behind the russian logistic front line,

this is, in my view, probably something that has come out of internal russian politics. putin is never want to let an assassination go to waste. he will use this as a pretext for launch to these attacks tomorrow. six months in, the damage estimate now, more than $1 billion. i should say, $100 billion. that is according to the kyiv school of economics here now, a different kind of army is reporting for duty, one drafted by social media with a mission to rebuild . in eastern ukraine, here is josh letterman. >> it is early on a sunday morning. a group of young ukrainians is already awake, ready to work. in a village devastated by russian artillery, 69-year-old ola is waiting for them. she is waiting in what is left of the home she and her husband built 45 years ago. she says, i cried all day yesterday because everything is
