british prime minister Boris johnson held on to his office
. He survived a vote of no confidence, johnson's
fellow conservatives voted to 11 to 1 48 to keep
them as both the head of their party and prime
minister. Now 180 votes would have been required to
kick him out. A group of discontented lawmakers in
johnson's party started the failed movement to remove him.
He's come under fire for parties thrown at the Prime
Minister's residence while Britain was under Lockdown due to COVID-19
. But the party's rules forbid another challenge to his
leadership for at least another year. Meanwhile, the
world of politics waking up this morning, Ariel Hickson
is live in Washington. Given us the biggest stories
unfolding in our nation's capital and aerial another big day
primary day at the polls. That is so right
baker, Another Tuesday, another primary election day.
So let's break down what you should watch out for
voters in seven states. Head to the polls for
primary elections today, California Iowa Mississippi Montana, New
Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota. So let's
start with the democrats. Several of the big races
are pretty set in stone with candidates destined to claim
their party's nomination, but one race where that's not
the case is the L A mayor's race. Congresswoman
. Karen Bass, a long serving democrat who was
on president biden's shortlist to become vice president, is
taking on businessman rick. Caruso. Caruso's passes under
scrutiny because He was a registered Republican from 2016 to
2019 and didn't register as a Democrat until January of
this year. Despite that, this race has drawn
attention from across that city celebrities have taken sides with
the likes of Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and Elon
Musk backing Caruso and magic johnson, jennifer, Aniston
and Donald glover supporting Bass. We've definitely got our
eyes peeled for this one. And Ariel, what
about the republican side of things? Any big races
to watch their well, it's less about watching specific
races and more about the continuing influence of former president
. Donald trump being the most like trump or the
closest candidate to trump is one of the biggest factors
on voters minds in Republican primaries and that's drawing candidates
far to the right. Even allies of the former
president are facing challenges from candidates further to the right
for instance, South Dakota. Governor Kristi Noem is
fending off a challenge from another individual claiming that she
has done more for her own future political ambitions than
for South Dakota. This goes back to what we
have said. All primary season president trump may not
be on the ballot and his candidates may not always
win, but he is still at the center of
the Republican party. Hannah baker. Yeah, definitely
a lot to watch tonight on primary night aerial Hinkston
live from the White House, Thank you so much
. Ariel elsewhere, new york governor Kathy huckle signing
a sweeping package of gun control bills into law.
It makes new york one of the first states to
take action following a wave of mass shootings. The
package includes bills that revised new york's red flag laws
and raise the age to buy a semiautomatic rifle from
18 to 21. The argument for red flag laws
is that most mass shootings are preventable if citizens,
health professionals and courts act on signs of troubling behavior
in time. For instance, seizing one's weapons.
Now, however, many gun rights advocates, including
the N. R. A, opposed red flag
laws saying they do not protect a person's due process
rights. Meanwhile, Senator joe Manchin is voicing his
support for preventative measures. The west Virginia senator says
he also wants to raise the age for purchasing semiautomatic
weapons to 21. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has
rejected a petition from the couple who had pointed guns
at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their ST louis home
. The court declined to hear Mark and Patricia Mccloskey's
appeal that as they attempted to end a probationary period
that was tied to the suspension of their law licenses
back in february. Now, the state Supreme Court
instituted a one year probation at the Mccloskey's last year
. The probation now allows them to practice law,
however, they are required to provide 100 hours of
free legal services and report any other criminal charges or
job changes. If they fail to do so,
their law licenses will be suspended and five players on
the Tampa Bay rays roster opted not to wear a
