breaking news overnight. is the tea party over? established gop candidates

beating over tea party challengers. it could mean problems for democrats in november. we are breaking down the breaking results live here on "early start." good morning, everyone. welcome to "early start." i'm poppy harlow in for christine romans. >> i'm john berman. election results 5:00 a.m. in the east. we do begin with big political news breaking overnight. voters in six states said no to tea party challengers making their choice for who they want to run in fall we are talking from congress to their state capitols. >> by far the biggest race of the night was kentucky where mitch mcconnell was facing off against matt bevin. he was expected to map a strong challenge. mcconnell ran hard. in the end, he held him off easily. now the five-term senator faces

a tougher fight in november against alison lungergan grimes. >> my opponent is in this race because barack obama and harry reid want her to be in this race. there's a reason, my friends, a reason every hollywood liberal is sending her a check. >> together, we will take this fight to mitch mcconnell and hold him accountable for his 30 years of failed leadership. >> in idaho, cnn projects republican congressman mike simpson has won his primary, one of many candidates to turn aside tea party backed candidates there. the house appropriations committee chairman faced a tough battle against bryan smith.

the internal fight between conservative groups. governor bush otter running against fulcher who tried to run as the more conservative candidate. >> the election in oregon pitting jeff merkley against monica wehby. she is a pediatric neurosurgeon rocked by revelations of harassment complaints of an ex-husband and former boyfriend. she topped a more conservative opponent. two establishment candidates holding off the somewhat tea party backed secretary of state. cnn projects david purdue and jack kingston were the top finishers. neither broke the 50% threshold. there were two conservative

congressmen who won the run off. whoever wins will face michelle nunn. she's the best chance for retaking the senate seat sam nunn once held. >> i would change is possible and we can do it. as i have been traveling across the state of georgia, i have been highlighting what washington can learn from georgia. you know what? i think washington is going to learn a thing or two from our campaign. >> the governor's race in georgia, jimmy carter's grandson will run. he is currently a state senator. two congressmen are set to face-off for the race in arkansas for the gubernatorial race there. democrat mike ross and hutchens won their primaries as the incumbent mark pryor will face

tom cotton. >> let's go to pennsylvania where chelsea clinton's mother-in-law lost. she picked up a quarter of the voters in the philadelphia district, a democratic district despite last minute campaigning for her by the clinton's. a businessman, tom wolf won the primary after pumping millions of his own dollars in that race. he will face tom corbett in the fall. corbett is one of the most vulnerable republicans in the country. let's get straight to paul steinhauser to break down the results. as we were talking earlier in the show, ads coming out this morning about november, right? >> no doubt about it. the race is on. remember the "star wars" movie, "the empire strikes back," well, it was the republicans who

struck back. the establishment candidates, the incumbents won out over the tea party backed candidates. that was not the case in 2010 and 2012 when they had big high profile wins in the primary. come november, they lost to democrats. republicans arguably lost five senate seats because of that. the establishment definitely striking back this time. how did they do it? well, they run smart campaigns and had a lot of outside help. the u.s. chamber of commerce put in $4 million into the kentucky, idaho and georgia contest backing their candidates there. what does this matter? come november, it improves the odds for the republicans when it comes to trying to take back the senate. they need six senate seats to win back the chamber. it's 55-45. we have two independents who caucus with the democrats. the democrats are defending 21

of the 36 senate seats up for grabs in november. what happened last night improves the republicans chances. >> mitch mcconnell, the minority leader from kentucky ran a smart campaign, a very expensive campaign. he took nothing for granted. it sets up what already seems like a heavyweight battle for november. >> we got an appetizer last night. if you listen to mcconnell and grimes, it was a taste of things to come. >> my opponent is in this race because barack obama and harry reid want her to be in this race. a vote for my opponent is a vote for obamacare. and the president who sold it to us on a mountain of lies. >> mitch mcconnell would have you believe that president obama is on kentucky's 2014 election ballot. well, let me set the record straight tonight for our senior senator who is out of touch with

the commonwealth of kentucky. president obama is not on kentucky's 2014 election ballot. >> poppy, as you mentioned, the ads are already going to start flying this morning. a pro-mcconnell superpac is going to spend $500,000 tieing grimes to president obama who is very unpopular in kentucky. you know what? $82 million was the record for the most expensive race two years ago in massachusetts. this contest shattered that record. stay tuned, the action is just starting. >> it is starting, not skipping beat. berman is excited about it. >> if i was a political consultant, i could retire. eight minutes after the hour. we have a warning about possible new terror threats against the united states. u.s. intelligence officials are seeing an up tick in the threat of al qaeda targets inside the united states.

barbara starr has the latest on this. >> reporter: poppy, john, a senior u.s. official tells me over the last six months they have seen an increasing series of al qaeda based threats suggesting the possibility of attacks against u.s. and person targets overseas and u.s. targets here at home. none of the threats have been valida validated. they don't think there are operational al qaeda cells here in the united states but they are very concerned about what this may mean about the growing strength of al qaeda. one place they are looking is right back in pakistan where al qaeda began. they believe there are operatives there, potentially planning attacks against u.s. and western interests. they also believe in syria. this is now a place where there are a growing number of americans, perhaps 70 to 100 who have gone there to fight.

al qaeda operatives in syria are aiming to get those people back into the united states or into europe. there is also the situation in yemen. the u.s. embassy has been closed there for several weeks. it looks like it's going to remain closed for several more days due to an active threat string. poppy? john? >> thanks for that. the obama administration release add secret memo outlining killing u.s. citizens for terrorism overseas. they acknowledged killing four americans in drone strikes since 2009. critics called for the release ever since. a senate vote is expected today concerning one of the memo's authors, a man nominated to a federal appeals court seat by president obama. a top white house aid assigned to the veteran affair

scandal. phoenix is where dozens of veterans may have died waiting for care at a facility there. they concealed deadly long waiting periods. the house will vote on legislation that republicans say should do something about the problem. >> we are bringing up a bill this week having to do with the mess at the veteran's administration and to try to provide the tools to the administration to hold senior managers accountable. the american people are frustrated, especially when those who served our country in uniform have been treated the way they have and have perished because of the mess at the v.a. >> 26 medical facilities are now under investigation. european stocks slightly lower. one stock to watch today is target.

the company recovering from the major data hack that affected up to 110 million customers. profill declined 46% last quarter. same store sales down 2.5%. so far this year, target fired the ceo greg steinhafel. he got a $16 million package. it's been a huge challenge for them to go international. it's cost them $900 million. i spoke with the man in charge now. here is what he said. >> we have seen our guests indicate they want to move on and get back to the relationship they had with target prior to the breach. 12 minutes after the hour. new revelations of how far donald sterling may have gone to cover up the racist remarks that got him banned from the nba.

$1 billion stadium that should be ready in 2016. now, of course, they beat out indianapolis and new orleans for the right to host the most watched event on television. new orleans, by the way, was 10 for 10 going into this in terms of getting super bowls. they didn't pay their light bill last time, so they didn't get it. indianapolis, rated the highest ever for super bowl experience. they hosted a super bowl a couple years ago. minnesota built a new stadium. >> see this smile? it's been on since last night. i reacted the same way they did in the video. i saw that news and i jumped up screaming. no one was there to celebrate with me. >> it made me uncomfortable. the squealing was odd, i have to say. >> it's the closest the minnesota vikings are ever going to get to a super bowl. >> so not true. i think it's not going to be a blizzard. it's not going to be that cold. >> they have a roof, so it doesn't matter. >> doesn't matter.

and putting themselves in position, perhaps to take the senate from the democrats this november. we are breaking down the big primary races, live. welcome back to "early start." a lot to talk about. i'm john berman. >> i'm poppy harlow. it is 5:32 here on the east coast. some republicans breathing a sigh of relief this morning. others wondering what's happening. voters said no to tea party challengers almost across the board in six primary elections choosing to go with tried and tested picking incumbents over newcomers. it could be huge this fall. >> let's start with the biggest surprise. not that he won, but how easily mitch mcconnell won over bevin. now, a big, big fight begins. mcconnell will face the democratic secretary of state,

alison lungergan grimes. she's backed by many prominent democrats. mcconnell and grimes are trading serious bars. >> my opponent is in this race because barack obama and harry reid want her to be in this race. there's a reason, my friends, a reason every hollywood liberal is sending her a check. >> together, we will take this fight to mitch mcconnell and hold him accountable for his 30 years of failed leadership. >> a defeat for the tea party also in idaho. considered by many to be the centerpiece of this year's fight for control of the gop. cnn projects republican congressman mike simpson won his primary there turning aside the tea party backed lawyer, bryan smith. also governor butch otter appeared to be victorious in his

fight to run for another term. results show him leading by a significant margin against russ fulcher who campaigned as a more conservative candidate. a run off will determine who will run for saxby chambliss' seat. david purdue and kingston topped the list. the eventual victor will face michelle nunn in the fall. she's the daughter of sam nunn. democrats believe she may be the best chance for retaking the senate seat her father once held. democrat jeff merkley will face monica wehby in the fall. she claimed to be more conservative despite the

revelations of harassment complaints of an ex-boyfriend and husband. >> the governor's race in arkansas pits two former congressmen against each other. mike ross and hutchinson won their primaries as did mark pryor. he will face tom cotton in the fall as he tries to retain his street. >> chelsea clinton's mother-in-law will not be returning to congress in pennsylvania. marjorie margolies is lost despite last minute campaigning and robo calls by the clinton's. democratic voters chose tom wolf to go against corbett. wolf is a businessman and put millions of dollars of his own money in the race. he's one of the most vulnerable governors up for re-election this fall. >> what does this all mean? paul steinhauser joins us live

from washington. paul, we said the word dozens of times this morning, establishment. >> reporter: no doubt about it. it was a clean sweep for the establishment. you mentioned the marquee battles in kentucky, georgia, oregon and idaho. the establishment coming out on top. we saw a similar story line in texas and north carolina. what's going on here? why are they doing this? they are running smart campaigns, the establishment candidates, the incumbents. they are getting lot of help from outside groups. the u.s. chamber of commerce is spending $4 million to back candidates who won last night. it was a very different story in 2010 and 2012 elections when the tea party candidates won a lot of high profile contests. november, they lost to the democrats. republicans argue they lost five senate seats because of weak candidates come november. it could be a different story line this time around in november. here is the lay of the land. the democrats have a 55-45

majority. guess what guys? 21 of the 36 senate seats up for grabs, the democrats are defending with better, i guess you could say more establishment friendly republican candidates. the gops odds of winning back the senate, they have improved. in the primaries to come, the polls indicate the republicans have the upperhand over the tea party types. >> the fighting has already begun. the ads have started rolling out this morning. you were telling us earlier in the show, this could be the most expensive race we have seen? >> you are right. you are absolutely right. one pro-mcconnell group is going to spend $500,000 to run ads attacking alison grimes. the most expensive was in massachusetts, $82 million was spent. this race could top that by the time we get to november. we got a preview, an appetizer.

take a look at mcconnell, take a look at grimes. >> kentucky is not going to be deceived. alison lungergan grimes is president obama's candidate. >> mitch mcconnell, he wants to tell you who i am. i'm here to tell you tonight, my fellow people in kentucky, i am not an empty dress, i am not a rubber stamp and i am not a cheerleader. i am a strong, kentucky woman who is an independent thinker. >> within minutes of the race being called, some of the anti-establishment tea party groups came out immediately and said time to unite around mcconnell. it's interesting what's going on here. stay tuned. a lot of action to come. >> it is just beginning. appreciate the report. thanks so much, paul. other big news, cnn learned
