rudy salas is going to the general election. valadao is trying to hold on to this lead over chris mathys. the good news for valdao, we're looking at the same day vote, doesn't seem to be a lot of it. mathys is doing well with the same day vote. there may not be enough of it for him to catch valadao, if he can get to the general election against salas this is a fascinating race. this is a very democratic district. this is a majority hispanic district that voted for joe biden by 13 points in 2020. david valadao got elected, lost his seat in 2018, won it years earlier, lost it in 2018, won it back in 2020. voted to impeach trump in 2021. he will need every vote he can have if he advances to the general election against rudy salas. this is one of the races democrats think what could be a tough year for them, this is a seat they badly like to pick up. show you a couple other primaries we're waiting on here. we have been mentioning young kim, republican freshman congresswoman, national republicans really trying to get her through to t

against rudy salas this. is one of those bases that democrats think what could be a tough year for them, this is a seat that they badly like to pick up. show you a couple of the other primaries that we are waiting on here. we've been mentioning, young kim, republican freshman congresswoman, national republicans, really try to get her through to the general election. she is running in second place right now. she if she stays in second place, she will face off the move. democrat and general election. the good thing if you are can, if you do hold on second place here. yes you are ten points behind mahmoud, but again is a split republican, three republicans on this ballot. only one democrat. if kim can consolidate she could be in a good position in november, potentially, a couple of this to dry attention to. we haven't mentioned this one tonight. one of the only congressional discuss in the country, california's 45th floor audi asian american district and again this is a freshman republican congresswoman, michell

now obviously, rudy salas, that's the name of the democrat. he's a state legislator, he is going to advance into the general election here. valadao's lead into his nearest republican challenger sits at seven points right now. you, see there is another republican there at 10%, right here. can valadao hold on to second place? what's left to be counted here. a lot of the votes are left to be counted. they're going to be the same day votes. the same day votes. the election day votes. have tended in these republican primaries to the trump friendly candidate. so, we're keeping a close eye on this valadao race in particular. there are several others in california, we'll get to over the next few hours. they're a critical both tonight and potentially in november. and, one final thing i want to flag for folks as we mentioned, this one earlier. a different part of the country, this is in mississippi. the third congressional district, and you have a republican incumbent here, congressman michael guest, he's in trouble, right now as you can, see he's chill

the democrats have rallied around a state legislator named rudy salas the difficulty valadao faces could be with his own party. why? because he voted for the impeachment of donald trump after january 6th. so valadao voted for impeachment. chris mathys has gotten into the race democrats have put a little money in here trying to prop up mathys in the primary tonight hoping he makes it to the general election instead of valadao. overall this is a democratic district valadao has barely won in the past will he be in trouble tonight. another district, southern california, orange county. young kim, she was one of the first ever korean american women elected to congress when she won the seat two years ago the district has been changed a bit by redistricting she's drawn a primary challenger from the right, greg raths trying to rally pro trump sentiment. they're trying to make sure young kim survives and gets to the general election. >> kornacki, thank you. >>> david was serman, i know you have your eye on new jersey 7th. what are you looking at? >> this is one of the topicup opportunities in the

there is one democrat in the race, rudy salas, he finishes first, on to the november general election. you see this republican vote is really divided here. valadao is leading among the republicans. it is only by about 1200 votes. valadao voted to impeach donald trump last year after january 6th. his top republican opponent chris mathys said i'm in the race because of that. i don't think he should have voted to impeach donald trump. the way this happens in california, there is still going to be some mail-in votes counted in the next few days, still theoretically room for mathys to catch valadao. but it looks like a decent pad. that's not a great performance for a republican incumbent. if he holds on to second place here and gets the general election matchup, here's what he's looking at in terms of political terrain for the fall. this is a democratic district, valadao barely won it in 2020, he has to unite the republican party, it is going to be a tough fight for him in the general election and quickly, chris, one other surprise here, i think worth noting, in mississippi, this is the th

the democrats all get behind rudy salas who is running here. does he consolidate the democratic vote and potentially deny valadao some of the democratic votes he's gotten in the past and open a path for the pro trump mathys to clean up among republicans, pro trump republicans. if there's low turnout here, and salas can consolidate the democratic vote, maybe, we'll see tonight, there is a scenario where valadao gets in trouble. >> let's talk about the mayoral race in los angeles. why is it being watched so closely? >> you know, for all the reasons kornacki listed this is one of those battles for the soul of the democratic party and the referendum on the party's ability to rule. the race started out with full throated support behind karen bass, six-term congresswoman seen as the do-gooder in the city with a political insider connections from sacramento to d.c. to the oval office, that sees government as the foot of effective rulership, versus now rick caruso, who just stormed into this race, who was -- spent his life essentially as a republican,

now obviously, rudy salas, that's the name of the democrat. he's a state legislator, he is going to advance into the general election here. valadao's lead into his nearest republican challenger sits at seven points right now. you, see there is another republican there at 10%, right here. can valadao hold on to second place? what's left to be counted here. a lot of the votes are left to be counted. they're going to be the same day votes. the same day votes. the election day votes. the republican primary -- to the trump friendly candidate. so, we're keeping a close eye on this valadao race in particular. there are several others in california, we'll get to over the next few hours. they're a critical both tonight and potentially in november. and, one final thing i want to flag for folks as we mentioned, this one earlier. a different part of the country, this is in mississippi. the third congressional district, and you have a republican incumbent here, congressman michael guest, he's in trouble, right now as you can, see he's chilling that more th

rudy salas what they are hoping, tonight is that they can keep their own voters in line voting for salas, and then the other thing that they tried to do, some of the democratic money in this race has gone to try to boost ballad valadao's opponent, specifically this guy right here. chris mattis, who explicitly made valadao vote on impeachment. the basis of his campaign. , so the hope for democrats tonight is so that they can rally their own party behind salas and divide republicans enough that they can knock valadao out of that second spot. knock him out completely. keep him out of the general election. getting much more, in their view, beatable candidate in the general election. so, let's see what happens as the result started coming here. again, valadao, a republican incumbent who voted to impeach trump. and the other incumbent we're keeping an eye on. he's in the 40th district of california. young kim, also is a similar dynamic here. young kim, a freshman congresswoman, one of the first korean woman elected to congress. democrats have spent trying to boost a pro trump challenger and kn
