ROLLED OUT A $50 MILLION MEDIA BY IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. PART OF IT INCLUDES A AD TARGETING TRUMP AS A CONVICT IT CRIMINAL. VOTERS ARE HEADED TO THE POLLS IN VIRGINIA AND OKLAHOMA FOR CRITICAL PRIMARIES. IN GEORGIA, PRIMATE RUN ELECTIONS ARE UNDERWAY. ALL THREE STATES HAVE HELD A PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST. LET'S BRING IN OUR CAMPAIGN REPORTERS TO TALK MORE ABOUT THESE BRACES. LET'S BEGIN IN VIRGINIA. BOB GOOD WHO CHAIRS THE HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS IS FACING A RUNOFF ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. HOW DO WE SEE THIS FACTOR PLAYING INTO THE RACE AND IS IT A GOOD INDICATOR OF SUPPORT IN VIRGINIA ? >> Reporter: THE TRUMP FACTOR WILL BE EVERYTHING HERE IN VIRGINIA TODAY. YOU HAVE BOB GOOD, THE INCUMBENT SENATOR. HE ENDORSED RON DESANTIS DURING THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY AND THAT HAS DRAWN THE EYE OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. TRUMP PARTICIPATED IN A RALLY LAST NIGHT FOR BOB GOOD'S OPPONENT. HE'S A NAVY SEAL AND IN THAT RALLY TRUMP SAID BOB GOOD HAS NOT BEEN GOOD FOR VIRGINIA. HE SENT OUT A WARNING IF ELECTED HE SAID BOB GOOD WOULD STAB VIRGINIANS IN THE BACK LIKE HE DID ME. >> HUNTER, DOES THIS MEAN THE HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS IS NOT TRUMP ENOUGH FOR TRUMP ? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ? >> Reporter: THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT THING. BOB GOOD IS ONE OF THE MORE COMPELLING PRIMARY CYCLES. HE VOTED TO REMOVE KEVIN McCARTHY AS SPEAKER LAST FALL. HE DID ENDORSE RON DESANTIS IN THE RACE. BOB GOOD AS MUCH AS HE IS THAT'S BEING OVERSHADOWED BY REMOVING McCARTHY AND ENDORSED DESANTIS BEFORE GOOD HAS ENDORSED DONALD TRUMP. THE BIG FACTOR IS HOW MUCH DOES TRUMP'S INFLUENCE MATTER. THIS IS A REGISTERED AND TRUMP IS INVESTED A LOT OF HIS ATTENTION AS WE SAW IN THIS RALLY TO GET GOOD REMOVED. >> REPUBLICANS ARE PICKING THEIR CANDIDATE TO FACE OFF AGAINST TIM KAINE. HE'S HELD ONTO THE SEAT FOR OVER A DECADE. DO THEY HAVE A VIABLE CHANCE TO FLIP IT AND WHAT MESSAGING WE HEARING FROM GOP CANDIDATES ? BEAK >> Reporter: THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF REPUBLICANS HAVE A VIABLE CHAIN FOR FLIPPING THIS SEAT. THE WIRE WOULD BE HIGH. KAINE HAS HELD THE SEAT FOR A DECADE AND HAS NAME RECOGNITION. NOT ONLY IN VIRGINIA BUT ALSO NATIONWIDE. HE PARTNERED WITH THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA. THEY OPENED UP AN OFFICE TOGETHER SO TYING KAINE TO BIDEN IS THE MESSAGING YOU HEAR FROM REPUBLICANS THAT ARE HOPING TO UNSEAT THEM. >> TURNING TO GEORGIA, A MAN CHARGED WITH A MISDEMEANOR FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE CAPITAL INSURRECTION IS ON THE BALLOT. HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE ON THE BALLOT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HIM. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS RUNOFF RACE AND DOES IT GIVE GREATER INDICATION OF HOW REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN THE STATE FEEL ABOUT THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITAL ? >> Reporter: I DON'T WANT TO UNDERSCORE THIS. IN GEORGIA SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, THERE'S CHUCK HAND COMMITTED TO THE PRIMARY RUNOFF. HE WAS SOMEONE WHO COURT RECORDS SHOW HE WAS INCARCERATED FOR HIS PART OF THE CAPITOL RIOT. HE ENTERED A GUILTY PLEA. HE'S NOT THE FIRST ONE WHO'S BEEN CONVICTED FOR THEIR PART IN WHAT HAPPENED TO CONGRESS. THE FACT THAT HE'S MADE IT THIS FAR AND MADE IT TO THE RUNOFF UNDERSCORES HOW INTERTWINED THE JANUARY 6 CAPITOL ATTACK IS WITH TODAY'S REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT OKLAHOMA CONGRESSMAN TOM COLE WHO CHAIRS THE APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE. HE'S FACING A CHALLENGER. >> Reporter: THIS IS A PRIMARY WHERE TOM COLE IS ONE OF THE LEADING REPUBLICANS IN WASHINGTON. HE'S WELL ESTEEM FOR HIS TIME. HE'S A CHAIR OF THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE. HE'S HELPED REPUBLICANS ADVANCED LEGISLATION HOUSE MAJORITY. HE'S FACING THE CHALLENGE FROM THE PRIMARY CHALLENGER. CHALLENGER CAMPAIGN $5 MILLION. IT'S THE LATEST AS WE ARE SEEING LONGTIME REPUBLICAN INCUMBENTS FACE CHALLENGES FROM PEOPLE WHO DON'T SEE THEM AS CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH. HIS RECORD SHOWS HE'S CONSERVATIVE. HE DID VOTE AGAINST CERTIFYING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN TWO BATTLEGROUND STATES AFTER THE JANUARY 6 CAPITOL ATTACK THIS IS A CHALLENGE FOR INCUMBENT REPUBLICANS. PEOPLE ARE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY TO OUST THEM BUT NO INCUMBENT IN CONGRESS HAVE LOST A PRIM
