CAMEROTA: It is primary day in four states today, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina and West Virginia. In an extraordinary move, President Trump is pushing voters to stay away from one Republican candidate in West Virginia's Senate primary because he says he doesn't think he'll be able to beat the Democratic incumbent in November. CNN's Joe Johns is live in Charleston, West Virginia, where the polls are now open. So this is a crazy race. What are you seeing?</s>JOE JOHNS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I think you can call it a crazy race, Alisyn. This is Mount Calgary Baptist Church in Charleston, West Virginia. It's supposed to be Trump country. President Trump won the state of West Virginia by 40 percentage points. But the test now is what does Trump country mean? Many Republican establishment people in Washington, D.C. have suggested the candidate that many people think could win this race ought not to win this race. His name is Don Blankenship. He is a former coal executive here in the state. Also an individual with a very colorful past. But what's most important in this race is the fact that many people say he's used language that could even be described as racist. For example, describing Asians as China persons. A lot of concern in Washington, D.C. that won't fly very well. Many comparisons, of course, to the race in Alabama not too long ago. So the question, of course, what's going to happen with Republican voters here? Will they choose Don Blankenship? The president of the United States has told them they ought not do that. Not because of the merits, but because he can't win, the president says. Back to you.</s>CUOMO: That's an important distinction, Joe. Thank you. People can go online. They can watch Blankenship's ads if they want. And, that's right, the president said, don't vote for him because he can't win, not because of what he says is objectionable.
