| 0:00.0 | Hello from Greater Washington. I'm Chuck Todd and this is the Chuck Todd cast last night. |
| 0:12.0 | It was another primary night in many states across America. The results, well, they're still |
| 0:16.2 | coming in because we just got the New York primary results coming in and that was not last |
| 0:20.4 | night. But it is another reminder that we are not going to have election day in November. |
| 0:24.6 | We are going to have election week if we're lucky, an election month, and then some, if |
| 0:31.3 | you particularly if you care about who controls the Senate. But here's what we do know. |
