Donald Trump will lie again. If Dave McCormick wins here, he'll start his lying again, and Oz will start the lying again. Oh, it's rigged. Oh, we're having to wait two weeks. Who in the world waits two weeks? As you say, it doesn't have to be this way, but it's designed to be this way because in the space from election night, till two, three, four, five, six days a week out that gives all the oxygen in the space for Donald

Trump and others, conspiracy theorists to say they're trying to steal this from Dr. Oz.

Wait, wait, that was yesterday morning. I guess it didn't take that long for that prediction to come

to pass. Donald Trump's pick for the Republican Senate primary in Pennsylvania,

Dr. Oz is locked in a tight race with Dave McCormick that is still too close to call,

but Trump is urging Oz to declare victory anyway. Sound familiar? The former president,

once again, attacking the process and casting doubt on the results.

Steve Kornacki is standing by at the big board with the latest on where that race stands right now.

Plus, President Biden takes new steps to address the baby formula crisis, including invoking the same law that used to increase the production of medical

supplies at the height of COVID and another market meltdown as the Dow suffers its worst day

since 2020. And retailers grappled with the pain of inflation. And the latest on the war in Ukraine as a Russian soldier pleads guilty

in the first war crimes trial of the conflict so far. And the president turns his attention

to Asia as he departs today for a visit to South Korea and Japan. But there's no question. This trip is all about China. Good morning

and welcome to morning, Joe. It's Thursday, May 19th. Joe is off. With us. We have former aide to the George

W. Bush White House and State Department's Eliege Jordan. She's an MSNBC political analyst and host

of way too early Jonathan

Lemire. He's a White House bureau chief at Politico, of course. Willie.

Well, in a case of history repeating itself, he just showed it, Mika, a race in Pennsylvania,

again coming down to mail-in ballots and claims of a stolen election. The Republican Senate primary race between the Trump

endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz and hedge fund CEO Dave McCormick is still too close to call this

morning, with the candidates only separated now just over a thousand votes between them. But while

the McCormick camp is telling supporters to wait until all the votes are counted.
