smattering of the votes and known it comes to the small town. some of these small towns can be a little slow in counting. that's the nature again, my home state donald trump with a healthy lead there as well, only 5% of the vote we'll see what's happening. but if you see a play out, i'm noticing earlier, i just want to check only 20 buses for hard for me to fathom. it's my home city than a city reports votes. and they only report 20. it has to be the tiniest of precincts that the city of boston has reported the votes right there. but we'll watch that one plays out. but if you look at the map, the margins in new england are a bit smaller. so that's an early one in maine is still a big one. vermont is a small i'll margin. you come down to massachusetts inside. i'm saying 20 points as a small margin. that's laughable in some ways, but i say that just because of what we're seeing when you walk through your north carolina's, you come over to tennessee you looked down in alabama you see oklahoma and then jake qc right below it in texas 76% as we

continue to count the votes. >> all right, john, we're heading into a major round of poll closings with 237 delegates at stake. all voting is about to nnp, three contests including one of the delegate jackpots of the night, texas. we have more projections to make. right now. let's take a look. donald trump is the projected winner of the republican primary. in the state of texas, 161 delegates at stake. dr. cnn is projecting donald trump will win. taxes in the state of maine $20 to stick cnn projecting donald trump will win the republican primary in the state of maine and in the state of arkansas, 40 delegates at stake cnn objecting to donald trump will be the winner of the republican primary in the state of arkansas. we have a couple of projections on the democratic side as well. cnn can project jack. the joe biden will win the texas democratic primary 244 delegates at stake. incumbent president joe biden will be the winner of the texas democratic primary in arkansas cnn can project that joe biden,

the incumbent president, will be the winner of the arkansas democratic primary with 31 delegates at stake. let's bring you a key race alert right now. >> in >> colorado and minnesota cnn is projecting it's too early to call again the colorado republican primary and the race between donald trump and nikki haley at least 37 delegates at stake in colorado too early to call in minnesota, 39 delegates at stake. cnn also saying too early to call and the republican primary in minnesota but a between donald trump and nikki haley, let's look at some of the actual votes coming in right now. if we can, in vermont 17 delegates at stake. donald trump still eking out a win there right now, 49.3% of the vote 50,382 votes. that's 776 votes more than nikki haley, who has 46.9% of the vote. that's with an estimated 45% of the essence made it vote

in, in the commonwealth of massachusetts, 40 delegates at stake. donald trump is still with a commanding lead, 57.4 that was just updated 57 0.5% of the vote, 24,592 votes. it's almost 1,000 votes more than nikki haley, who has 39% of the vote that just ticked back down 30 the 8.7% of the vote for nikki haley, donald trump, doing well in massachusetts, although it's only an estimated 7% of the vote in only 7% estimated vote in, in alabama 50 delegates at stake. >> donald trump >> with a commanding lead at 4.1% of the vote, 12,178 votes that's more than 10,000 votes, more than nikki haley, who has 12.2% of the vote, 12.2, that is within only estimated two 2% of the vote in still very early in the vote count in alabama. david chalian. where are we in delegates right now? because while all this counting is

going on we are awarding delegates. >> yeah, you're making these projections and we see the votes come in. we're able to do so. jake, take a look here in the state of texas. you said it's the second largest prize of the night. it is 161 delegates at stake. >> donald trump >> i getting 114 of those hundred and 61 well, i guess we still have 47 unallocated as we wait for more vote to come in. and quite frankly, the texas republican convention process later in the calendar, which will dictate where some of the he's delegates go. so where does that leave us for delegates tonight on super tuesday, donald trump so far getting 302 of the 800 and 65 delegates at stake tonight. nikki haley picking up three delegates in the commonwealth of virginia. so she gets above that zero mark. but look at that divide hi, this is donald trump dominating the evening. >> and where is >> he in the battle for delegates overall, you need 1,215 delegates to become the

republican nominee up there in the right-hand corner. >> donald trump is now at 578, nearing the halfway mark, 46 per haley. it's not even the same universe of competitiveness. in fact, let's look at what is the percentage that donald trump has won to date. he has won 90.9% of the delegates awarded to date. nikki haley there's only 17 91 to seven is the score of delegates so far, when you break it down by percentages, what does that mean? donald trump? needs well, he is on track. he only needs 35.5% of the remaining delegates that that number highlighted in green in, order to secure the nomination nikki haley's need number is 65.2%, so he needs a little over a third of the remaining delegates available to secure the nomination. she needs two-thirds of them. jake pretty

it's pretty stunning. numbers. david chalian and let me go to kristen holmes now who he's covering, the trump campaign for its she is at mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida. and kristen, the numbers that david chalian just broke down so far in this entire primary season. donald trump has won 91. this is a ratio, not a number, 91 delegates for every one that nikki haley, i'm sorry, 91 delegates to seven for nikki haley. 91 to seven in terms of percentages well, tonight the ratio is 99 to one. he is having. that is how much of a better night he is having tonight so far then the entire primary murray process so far, which to be frank, has been pretty dominant. they must be feeling pretty good over there >> yeah, jake, they are feeling good members of his inner circle are watching the results in a war room. they are not here mingling with the crowd at mar-a-lago, but this wasn't just about winning. it was about winning enough delegates

to secure the nominee nation as early as next week. now they acknowledged to me that it is a narrow path. the email would only have to win about 86 delegates to stop donald trump from becoming the nominee next week. now, as you said so pretty striking numbers, much wider path, however, for march 19th, so obviously we'll wait and see how this plays out. now, as the campaign has already shifted their attention to the general election tonight, i'm told by sources close to the former president that he's still privately complaining about the fact that nikki haley remains in the race. so the reason for that is twofold. one, he has told people that it is stopping republicans from coalescing behind him. but two is when you look at those high dollar donors, there are these several high-dollar donors who backed desantis that moved to nikki haley trump's campaign wants that money. now, i am told moving forward, they are going to start building out their teams and places like michigan georgia, arizona, and pennsylvania, those critical the battleground states. but jake, to do that, they need money and there's something else that is holding up money for them with the elian staying in the race and that's the money coming from the rnc once he becomes the presumptive

nominee, he can start tapping into those resources, those strategies, those operations that are on the ground. >> this is all part of >> why they have come really increasingly irritated that she hasn't dropped out of race because they want to use those funds. but again, they were expecting a good night tonight. the question is just how good of a night are they going? >> all right, kristen holmes, thanks so much, kristen holmes, with the trump campaign in palm beach, florida and boris sanchez now has another update for us in some of these other projections of other important races, not presidential or us. >> yeah, jake two senate primaries tonight, cnn ms projecting, no surprises in the republican senate primary in the state of texas senator ted cruz has one as the republican candidate for senate in texas. he's seeking reelection for a third term, a onetime presidential candidate, a onetime donald trump rival. now he boasts about being one of the most maga, aligned lawmakers in all of congress. >> let's >> get you a key race alert now on the democratic side there, congressman colin allred has a

substantial lead right now. he's leading by about 160 2000 votes. >> he's a >> former tennessee titans linebacker, actually a former obama administration official at housing and urban development. importantly in this race his 11 points, percentage points above 50%. that is the benchmark that he has to cross the threshold. he has to cross to avoid a runoff later in the spring only 34% of the vote in about a third of the vote in right now in texas but congressman colin allred isn't a pretty good spot right now. >> all right. that's an interesting stuff let's go to a key race alert. now on the presidential front, cnn is looking at these votes as they're coming in. colorado republican primary, there are 37 delegates at stake. donald trump the lead, 57% of the vote 87,799 votes. that's 27,087 votes more than nikki haley, who has 39.4% of the vote so far it's about a quarter of the estimated vote in 26% in

colorado, donald trump, with a commanding lead in vermont, where it's been neck and neck all night. donald trump i'm starting to add your head. there are 17 delegates at stake there. donald trump in the lead with 49.5% of the vote, 16,000 votes. i'm sorry, that was just update dated 49.7% of the vote, 16,997 votes. that's more than 1,000 votes, more than nikki haley, who has 46.6% of the vote. that's what but 49% of the estimated vote in about half of the votes in vermont. but let's look at colorado, which is this is just some of the new votes that were getting in here with the polls just closed. donald trump with a dominant lead right now, and it's 28% of the boat asked the question. so as we move, we have maine you will end on alaska. we're going coast to coast. the question is, does donald trump keep running it up by significant margins this very early in colorado when the first results came in, it was denver and governor haley. i had an early lead there. if you'd look, you'd notice though that's 95% of the

estimated vote in denver county blue area come november, this will be a blue area come november, but so if you're looking for where else could she get votes if you see up there now this jefferson county, the denver suburbs, these used to be purple or even republican. if you go back to when i started to as long time ago, republican areas, they'd become very reliably blue, right now, come november about uc donald trump getting 57, 58 instead, if you round that up there in a denver suburb in the denver, so i mean, she would need to do but an arapaho just came in. this is where in the mid 2010s, during the obama the presidency, i spent a lot of time out here. the tea party. this was one of the hotbeds of the tea party movement, arapahoe county, colorado back in the day. the tea party has given way to to the trump party. i mean, if you've watched just watch over the last ten for ten years, the evolution, especially the last eight years with trump around. >> but his party cared about government spending and donald trump, it sure doesn't care about governments, but it, it was you remember, even president obama use asked this question. now all campaign saying we're going to vote no, and then they all voted no. and he would say why they voted no

while they campaigned on it, right? they campaign on voting no. every spending bills. some of them are still around. that is kind of morphed into the freedom caucus and other things in the house of representatives. but this used to be a hotbed of yes get washington out of our lives, cut spending the very western know, they had a point, the deficit in the debt or not. but so now you see you just see that wrap again when we get to november you're likely to see something very different here, but not out here in grand junction. i'll come back to the second, but this denver in the suburbs have become very, very blue back when this was a republican state and then a competitive state, they fought it out in the suburbs. but now it is, they have become more and more blue. but again, so you watch this, right? that you watched this come november and then you come out here as you move more west here mesa county, again, donald trump's that 70%. now you're moving into a much more rural western republican party. and again, the question is, so you're looking just to colorado there, you're just looking again from coast to coast and then you start thinking about the margins, right? so we'll see what holds up. this is very early 57% there. will, we'll

see again a lot the suburbs here. so there's room for nikki haley to make a statement. there's not room doesn't look like we'll see it doesn't look like there's room for me when i make point on denver. can you punch in on denver for one second of the lulea? >> she's winning, but >> she needs to be winning like 80 to 20 in denver. she can't she can't be winning 53 to 42. >> there's there's not. you make a key point. i always say that the close ones i want on the margins you got to run it up in the places where you can win, especially if you're running against donald trump and you know, in these rural places, they're all going to come in. they're going to come and 70%, 75%, 80%. some of them at 5%, you got to run it up. so if she's looking to make come back to this is i don't want people had hoped to think i'm trying to play this up. if you're looking to make a statement, we need some yellow at the moment. you have none. if you're looking to make a lesser statement, you at least want to start winning some counties, right? winning some suburban areas where you can say, hey, look republicans, donald trump has a problem. yeah, he's on a march. the nomination but you should think

twice. the problem is and you were talking about this with david earlier when he is running up the delegates the district of columbia, she has one. you're looking at this this is your delegate count at the moment, right? number one, if you're if you're governor haley who was run a race, had financial backing you have no wins to show for it, except the district of columbia. you're getting swamped in the delegate race and you're asking people now, he's getting 91% of the delegates so far, you're getting 7.2%. you need as david just noted, around 35% you can start winning. you need to start winning 65% of the delegates i made to catch up two-thirds of delegates you're winning 7%. you need to win 67, 68% the map says you're not doing that. it's pretty hard to convince a donor, even to convince your staff that this is a fight to continue worth fighting because the math jake is just mind-blowing. it's overwhelming. >> all right. john king, thanks so much and cnn has another projection to make. cnn can project in the state of alabama known for many things including our own kaitlan collins donald

trump will be the winner of the republican primary. 50 delegates at stake. donald trump is projected to be the winner of the alabama republican front hi mary. this evening on the democratic side, we can also make a projection cnn can project that incumbent president joe biden will be the winner of the democratic primary in alabama. 52 delegates at stake for tending perhaps of the showdown that we knew was coming. joe biden versus does donald trump they are the victors in the alabama republican and democratic primaries, respectively. let me bring you a key race alert now let's take a? look at the vote as it's coming in and vermont, donald trump maintaining his lead 17 delegates at stake, 49.8% of the votes that is 18,620 we seven votes, 1274 votes more than nikki haley, who has 46.4% of the vote. that is with more than half of the vote in from vermont, 53% of the estimated voting in the

commonwealth of massachusetts. 40 delegates at stake. >> donald >> trump, again, maintaining a healthy lead, 59.9% of the vote, 36,008 107 votes. that is 14,350 to more than nikki haley, who has 36.5% of the vote. that still with only an estimated 10% of the vote oh, it in. but at this early hour, donald trump where the dominant lead in massachusetts in colorado, where the polls just closed, 37 delegates at stake. donald trump in the lead there too. the 9.8% of the votes, 163,982 votes. that is almost 64,000 votes more than nikki haley, who is 6.6% of the vote. that with almost half of the vote in 46% of the estimated vote in colorado. now i'm going to go to dana bash who is going to interview a key trump supporter, dana. >> i tried, jake. thank you. here with me now is republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina. at very much a key

donald trump supporter. now, you've been watching senator yeah, very, very big night tonight. yeah. for donald, does he would say as he would say, that nikki haley though, is still winning about a third of the vote if you sort of average it all together. one of the things that was really striking is the exit poll from north carolina found that 78% of haley supporters so they would not commit to voting for the republican nominee in november. so what is the trump campaign plan to bring haley voters into the fold for the general election. >> i think draw a contrast between what president trump would do on the border on energy independent, some keeping us safe making sure that people who are unsure about who to vote for will be well-informed about how bad things are, and what trump would do to fix things. so i think a contrast on policy is the key to getting these people back on board. >> you think policy will sway people who just don't think donald trump is the right kind

of person to be president >> if you don't think he's the right kind of person, then you'll have to vote for biden. i don't know what all i can say is i think a policy contest is the best way to secure people who are on the fence because >> the border is a nightmare there's a way to fix it. trump can find that way we got to become energy independent again. so the issues of inflation, personal security, i think cut toward trump, one of the things that we have seen historically is when people battle it out in primaries the winner in the primary, and maybe the next behind them. yeah. >> they have a >> combined moment and that helps bring that helps to bring the loser's supporters along however we have seen and heard nikki haley in the past couple

of days suggesting that she might not honor her pledge that you signed before the debates, to back trump if he's the nominee, you know, these things are tough. i mean, number one, nikki has done better than anybody in the history of south carolina she's a talented person. i hope she can support president trump. she can make the case of why she would vote for trump versus biden on policy. i think would resonate with people. i'm pretty confident i'm known or most of my political life that she'll be a team player that you know, they'll come a time and i hope sooner rather than later, was she realizes this this is not her moment. and there's a lot at stake, so i'd find it difficult to imagine it. nikki haley would not support president trump when it's all said and done >> do you think she should drop out tonight or in the next 24? >> i think pretty clear that people have spoken. i've voted for trump not against nikki and at the end of the day, there's really no pathway left. the sooner we can come together, the better. i think nikki haley can make a case while trump is

better than biden on a lot of issues better than most republicans. >> let's talk about some of the warning signs for saying for trump separate from the nikki haley supporters who say that they wouldn't back him he's struggling among college graduates, moderates independents. what is donald trump need to do differently? what will he do differently to try to lower those voters, but they make it a poly policy contest. >> i mean, >> you got byd who most people think are too old, you got trump who as a personality problem with a lot of people you got to choose between two people. you'd prefer not to vote for. so i think by policy will win the day. most republicans feel very comfortable with president trump being the right guy, right time. i do. >> but people are unsure about who to vote for because of biden being too old and trump being too disruptive. >> i >> think the policy debate will gravitate toward trump because we're going in the wrong. the one number i'll look at more than anything else. dana is

right direction, wrong direction. >> if you >> believe we're on the wrong track voting for biden, just reinforce staying on the wrong track. >> there's a lot of talk about who donald trump is considering for his running mate when you and i spoke to the night of the south carolina primary, you said that you're all in on your fellow south carolinian yeah. tim scott, you golf with donald trump the next day. did you press your case personally with him? >> you know, was pretty funny know, where we played golf and we talked about a lot of things, but he's just really impressed with tim's enthusiasm the way that tim really sells donald trump makes a joke that tim is better for me than he was for dam. there are a lot of good choices. i just feel like tim scott is ready to be present on day one. >> it's donald trump thinks so too. >> we all think so. i mean, i'm not, you know, he's the one picking not me but i think one of the characteristics of who you want to be on your team is can they be president on day one? and i certainly think tim can be, but he'll have a lot of

good choices, really in many ways, this is our election to lose and policy matters senator. thank you so much for being here. appreciate it and this super tuesday is shaping up to be unlike any we've seen in modern presidential politics with former president donald trump scoring eight wins tonight and counting, we are tracking the uncalled races and any potential bright spots for nikki haley at this very critical moment in the fight for the gop nomination, stay with the best much more ahead >> special live coverage of the state of the union address thursday at eight on cnn >> jorge is always put the ones he loves first when it comes to caring for his teeth, when he's led his own maintenance, take a backseat. well, maybe it's time to shift gears on that because aspen dental has the latest technology and equipment the staff that goes out of their way to provide exceptional care plus free exams and x-rays for new patients without insurance in 20% off treatment plants making

it easier to get it started with quality care. >> it's one more way. aspen dental is in your corner. >> my name is brian how fire and because of tiktok, i have the power to educate people and hopefully it saved lives. >> when my >> son brian died and drunk driving accident, i put out a video about it and try to stop that young people from drinking and driving. >> no other family has let's to go through what we did. >> tiktok has the power to change society. i think that's where the power of tiktok lies to save one person. that's one more person that continues the world too, right? >> then. you will >> hi

projecting that joe biden will be the winner of the colorado photo democratic primary. let's bring you a key race alert and get you up-to-date on some of the votes still coming in in some of the states that we have not called in minnesota, these are new votes with one for of the estimated vote in 39 delegates at stake. donald trump taken an early lead, 78.6% of the vote. very few votes, and that's 1730 seven votes, that's 1,300 more than nikki haley, who has 18.8% of the vote. again, that's only an estimated 1% of the vote in from minnesota. the polls just closed at 09:00 p.m. eastern in vermont, which we've been watching, seesaw all night. donald trump still has a lead, 49.6% of the vote. that's 90,311 votes, 1,100 or so votes more than nikki haley, who has 46.7% of the vote, her strongest showing so far this evening with 56% of the estimated vote, but she is still not in the lead in the commonwealth of massachusetts

with 40 delegates at stake. donald trump, 59.4% of the vote, 44,285 votes at 16,657 more than nikki haley, who has just 30 7.1% of the vote. that's worth an estimated 13% of the estimated vote, 13%. let's go to kylie atwood, who covers the haley campaign for us in charleston, south carolina kylie, what is the haley campaign saying about where they're hoping to pick up delegates this evening. she's only picked up a few yeah jake, i want to be frank with you. we haven't heard much from the haley campaign at all in recent hours. but what i can tell you from my conversations with campaign officials before the night began is that they were looking at two things specifically typically, first of all, they were looking at some congressional districts where they felt like they could do well, like you look at texas, right? there's congressional districts 2.12

where fort worth is located, where houston is located, those are places that nikki haley just had campaign rallies yesterday. they feel like they could potentially pick up those districts. it would give them a few delegates in texas, of course, are not expecting to win the state, but it could give them some delegates. there's also other congressional districts and other states that she has visited where they're looking to right now. the other thing that they've been looking at, our two states specifically, were they feel like nikki haley could have a solid showing those states are utah and vermont. of course, we've been tracking vermont really closely. it's neck and neck between in trump and haley right now. and this all comes as haley and her campaign has publicly been very wary to talk about what their specific goals heading into tonight actually were nikki haley just told you yesterday, jake, that she was hoping for a competitive night. she said that they had goals, numbers, that they were looking to, but she didn't reveal what any of those numbers actually

are. so we'll just have to watch and see particularly when those congressional districts that they're watching the results there come in, jake >> all right. kylie atwood in charleston, south carolina, width the nikki haley campaign. let's go now to mj lee, who is at the white house. mj. what is the word from the biden campaign? what is the word from the biden white house this evening as they watch the results come in well, jake, as the biden campaign has been watching donald trump's sweep the evening, they have really been zeroing in on areas >> of weaknesses for donald trump, particularly with moderate voters, suburban voters. and of course, with nikki haley supporters campaign officials, i have been speaking to have been particularly interested in exit polls, an anecdotal evidence that shows nikki haley, supporters who have said either that they are unwilling to support donald trump come november, or they're not willing to commit to supporting whoever the eventual gop nominee ends up being. now, these votes voters in the view

of biden campaign officials, are the so-called gettable or turned off by donald trump voters. and that's second description, jake, it's so important because biden campaign officials don't think that donald trump has done him any favors by continuing to use a divisive and corrosive rhetoric. and as you know from our recent reporting, the president and himself has very much directed his campaign aides to be even more aggressive and highlighting some of the more unhinged and erotic comments from donald trump. now, i should also note, it goes without saying that this is really the beginning of the official start of the general election for the biden campaign as one senior campaign pain official, put it to me earlier this evening tonight really, really is important for starting to crystallize that choice between donald trump and joe biden going into november jail, right? >> mj lee at the white house, kylie atwood with the haley campaign in charleston, south carolina. and it was a week ago tonight, it seems like seven years, but it was one week ago

tonight that we were looking at joe biden's weaknesses in the michigan democratic primary were more than 100,000 democrats voted uncommitted rather than voting for the democratic incumbent president. and let this take a look at denmark, at the democratic votes coming in. >> and so maybe we don't spend enough time on the us, but over your shoulder there is donald trump, who's on a march to the republican nomination. the delegates and then over here on this wall is the incumbent democratic president in states. so it's also on a march to read nomination and liked donald trump. considerable strengths and as you noted, one glaring weakness last week and there's some others as you look at divide as you go through, if you look at the battleground state poll you like would, you mentioned last week, this is not tonight. this is michigan last night, uncommitted, got 100,100.1 thousand votes, 13% of the vote, largely, not exclusively, but largely because of progressives, arab americans, mad mad at the israel, gaza conflict and president biden in their view, citing too much with israel and netanyahu. so the question was,

are two places tonight where we can watch, does that does that continue? right? one of them is colorado, which is voting right now. and look, the present united states is getting 85% of the vote uncommitted is getting 7%. so, yes, that's you want and you want bag. and let's not, let's not shy away from that. so that's the thing. okay. you've got to pay attention to that. there's no question. there's a bubbling of anger, frustration in the progressive democratic base about israel, gaza. now the president has shifted in recent days. it hasn't been able to get israel to go along but has said he wants to cease fire, has i've had their airdropping humanitarian aid and so we'll see, we'll see if that, but the president, just like we say, donald trump has problems to do in the suburbs. so to president biden has problems to deal with as well. you see in minnesota, uncommitted, getting 18%. this is wow, it's the home state of dean phillips, by the way, the democratic congressman who gave up his seat to run against it, dean phillips, see this to the west of minneapolis plus here, you see joe biden's winning everywhere so far. but again, in a progress in a state that has a deep progressive activist

base, like minnesota 18%. so is it a five-alarm fire? yeah. i'll leave that up to the strategies and the people, the campaign. but joe biden minnesota go back to 2020. it's a battleground state. go back to 20. let me come out here to the presidential race. let me get out of the primaries here and come up. he wanted to stay pretty healthy, 52, 45, but it is a place where democrats are always worried because of donald trump's support among blue-collar voters. so as you come forward now, let's come back to the democratic race. you're looking at every one of these states, right? and so you're trying to figure out, okay that's healing, that has to be done now are progressives going to vote for donald trump? i would say 99 of the cases probably not. but we talked about this a bit earlier. if you stay home or you vote third party especially in a close battleground state and i don't know that minnesota will be one, but michigan will be wisconsin will be pennsylvania will be georgia will be, arizona, will be, nevada will be, and potentially throw a north carolina, virginia, or

minnesota in there if that's where we end up come october, november in a battleground state, you worried. you worry colorado used to be a battleground state is trending blue. you might say 085 to seven. what do you do? this is the primary those are your vote voters unique him in november? >> yeah. >> no, it's interesting and it's important what you point out, this is really about netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, more than it is about the country of israel itself. and the reason i say that is because this is not an aid for israeli politics. it's on american politics, but prime minister netanyahu, according to polls, is incredibly unpopular. israel forget among democrats in minnesota, and israelis incredibly unpopular. but that's, a conversation for another time. different map, a different, a different mapping us and fewer battleground states. erin burnett. >> all right, jake, thank you. >> so where they're talking about this issue of healing and in the context of israel gaza. yeah, you love look at where they're looking right now. 3% of vote in minnesota, okay, but 18% uncommitted. as john said,

that's healing. what does that say to you? >> well, i think there's an important point here which is that donald trump has been largely absent from the narrative on gaza. understandably, joe biden's the president, people who are upset about the united states politics well let's see, relative to israel, are frustrated with joe biden. understood. however, this election is going to be a choice between donald trump and joe biden. donald trump went on fox news yesterday morning and was asked what whether he supported what the idf is doing in gaza and said they need to go in and finish the job. they need to finish the problem. excuse me. they need to go in and finish the problem. >> so >> again, if you are somebody who is concerned about the united does not hold the civilian death toll in gaza. are you going to turn out for donald trump? >> you're not. now this point about, are you going to stay home is valid, but i think this is actually a perfect example of how the urgency we'll turn up as trump as we move into the general election, as trump is front and center, as he is held accountable for the things he's saying. most people who

weren't watching fox news yesterday don't know that he said that. but, you know, it once he is the nominee there's more friends center. so, you know, i think that that is a piece of this that hasn't been hasn't been discussed also, i would say to the point about 7% uncommitted, 18% and committed i mean, look at the numbers for donald trump coming out of these primaries mean 35% of republican voters are not supporting him. 40%. so if we're talking about who's pulling their coalition together more effectively, donald trump is the one who has the bigger numerical problem >> well yeah, we were talking about this before because what is true is that when you look at haley's vote >> about two thirds of her voters and all these states are independents and democrats. there's no democratic race for president right now, so they're playing in the republican party. my research the scott pointing out that in the new

york times poll on sunday in the race for the republican nomination, only 9% of the people who say they were for haley voted for trump in 2020. so now, having said all that, this is going to be a marginal race, okay? so all of these things matter, including these third party candidates. and one of the concerns that i think that the biden campaign should have is some of these young voters not voting at all? or migrating to one of the third party candidates. and i think that generally the third party candidates, more or more advantageous to trump than to biden. i think trump has a high floor and a low ceiling and the lower the threshold is the better the chances as we're sitting here, rfk junior gets on the ballot. he says in nevada, which now gives him arizona, georgia, and nevada three, obviously battleground must-win states. >> i mean, are there 101520000 people in each of those three states that could easily pick a third door. you bet. i mean because both candidacies have glaring weaknesses, any

remotely viable third option, i mean, we've had a few elections in the last 20 years where a a third party getting just enough votes tip to state and he's doing well better than that. and a lot of the polling. so depending on their ballot access here i mean, it could be an issue. this is >> one you're watching very closely. >> the rfk junior factors, something i think people are underestimate. yeah. i think most of us in stablished press kinda see him as a kind of a fallen star used to be a good environmental guy, became an anti-vax nut and we just ignore him. he is growing he is building, and he's doing it online. with all this stuff that most of us aren't really following. and i think that's going to be an increasingly big factor. my problem with them right now is he's only cherry picking these swing states. we can hurt biden, but he can't possibly bragg. now, put together enough votes to become president so what does he doing? >> and i think that's important to emphasize a third-party candidate is not going to be

elected president of the united states in 2024. but a third-party candidate, or the aggregation of them can choose who the next president is through the votes that they deprive a candidate >> syed zain, just the overall theme here then is who would you rather be right now, this point tonight, and this race is donald trump, momentum 90 supreme court decision cutting through the states like a hot knife through butter, right? despite the fact that he's got, despite the fact that he's got these cases looming out, that these legal cases, right but he's still ahead in every poll all america against ahead to have donald trump to were just talking about third-party candidate weaken joe biden. i'm just telling we haven't we haven't picked tim scott yet for the vice president when that happens is numbers will go up lots of good news yet on the horizon for the trump campaign. and i just say, at this point in time tonight on super tuesday, it rather be in that you'd rather be at marlin fargo than in

wilmington. >> i want to party rather than on this >> what did she say? i agree with race now? she's got a couple of you got to come home >> genuine fear that the biden campaign is just not awaken to the strength of trump. and i mean, look no further. this more speaks to biden's weakness. 91 felony counts, four indictments. this is a man who it should be very easy to defeat donald trump. there are many americans like myself who believe he is fundamentally unfit and the most dangerous president in my lifetime. yet he is. if you were, if the election were today, he would beat him. that shows the democrats have a problem. i hear this sort of defiant tone from biden of i alone can beat him. a, it sounds trumpian, but it also, he's not, he's not listening to what voters are saying, which is they want virtually any other option. and he's not also trying to to reach republicans who could be swayed to come to aside. i mean, waiting to put off to deal with the border until three years, then that's a major failure or our coalition is harder to hold together the

trump coalition is more demographically and geographically concentrated. we've got, we've got to hold together coalition that's eric goes from the never trumpers. did folks who might have marched with antifa, that's a hard collision. >> you agree with me that's what i've done to say. i think that's how broad our coalition >> i do admit that i love my loving this video, but people chase an aoc around blood and might >> fraud pies at nine wins so far for donald trump tonight and super tuesday is far from over a bonanza of delegates still up for grabs. california, the polls close at 11:00 p.m. he am eastern time stick around. we're taking it very briefly president biden's last >> state of the union before the 2024 election, with challenges at home and abroad, can he make the case for four more years, years in the white house? join cnn for special live coverage of the state of the union address thursday at

added our logo, and place my order, bring your own team together with custom gear, gets started today and custom-make dot com >> the lead with jake tapper tomorrow it for cnn >> and let's bring you a key race alert as votes are coming in in vermont, which is it's been a seesaw all evening. 17 delegates at stake, donald trump still maintaining his lead, 48 points at 6% of the vote, 23,134 votes. that's four hundred 24 votes more than nikki haley, who has 47 of the vote. that's with an estimated

68% of the vote in, in vermont in the commonwealth of massachusetts, 40 delegates at stake. donald trump has 60 of the vote. that 63,325 votes it's more than 26,000 votes, more than nikki haley, who has third 6.3% of the vote. that's about a fifth of the vote, 18% of the estimated vote in in the state of minnesota, where the vote were the polls just closed at 09:00 p.m. eastern, 39 delegates at stake, donald trump in the lead there dominantly 69 thanks for sending the vote 39,883 votes. that's more than 23,000 votes, more than nikki haley, who has 29 of the that's 18% of the estimated vote in, in minnesota. lets go to kristen holmes at mar-a-lago, where donald trump is hosting a watch party no doubt celebrating given the domination he has demonstrated this evening kristin, a huge night for the former president. what are we

expecting to hear from? and when >> yeah absolutely. and we are expecting your from him shortly after 10:00 p.m. he's going to come out and take the stage. look. this is a crowd full of his quarters, but not here are members of his inner circle because they are watching the results in a war room off stage. and this is better than they even anticipated. remember, it wasn't just about winning. they knew they were going to do well tonight. they even dismayed they might win every single state, but it was winning by enough delegates. so that next week he could become the presumptive nominee. now, obviously, we'll have to wait until every vote is cast. every vote is counted and that those numbers are finalized. but they are feeling very good about his pathway to the republican nomination. as soon as next week they are telling me that they have pivoted to the general election, but there are some things that they need to actually be the presumptive nominee to get. now some of that is just donors and fundraising, but another part of that is the access to the republican national committee, the arctic and see and their fundraising. they're donors, their infrastructure. remember,

they have kept a very lean team up until now. they want to tap into those resources. and the hopefully they we believe to them, the hopefully they will happen next week at at the earliest. so that is what they're contemplating right now. expect him to be very victoria's to take a victory lap and i do want to note one other thing, jake here not just politically speaking, that they are feeling very optimistic. this combined with the winds that they feel like they have gotten in the legal space as well. really is giving them an optimistic look going into the next several months as they head into this general election rematch with president joe biden. >> all right. kristie no, it was important point there. one, the legal victories as well as the political ones. kristen holmes in palm beach, florida at mar-a-lago, the super tuesday contests are moving west the republican caucuses in utah are going to be winding down soon. brian todd is at a caucus site in sandy, utah that's around salt lake city. brian, give us an update on what's happening there. >> okay. jake, so what you're

seeing is a caucus room in action right now, the caucusing, the actual caucusing has begun in earnest with a few glitches along the way. these are people in one precinct that you're looking at here. i'm not allowed to step in the room and talk to voter id, talked to viewers live. but my cameras allowed to be in there and show this live. this caucus chair who's running this precinct. his name is nick roberts. he is now explaining the party platform to these people. he's going to make sure that everyone is registered in this precinct, and then he's going to give them their paper ballots to fill out. their choice for president in this primary. but i got to tell you this man who's running this particular room in this particular precinct, nic robertson is also running this entire location with thousands of voters here, and he's had a very stressful night. the computer system backed up and people were slow to get registered. so he stood on a chair and started yelling at the top of his lungs for people to go to this room, that room corresponding to your precinct number. and that's how he got this thing going. but this process started about a half power late in some cases, in these caucus rooms, like this

one that you're seeing live. so this is kind of the process. it's a cool process. it's inclusive of course, but it's messy and it was messy here tonight. and you're seeing the caucusing in effect right now. they're going to fill out their ballots in just a minute and then they're going to start counting and we'll be able to show you the counting. >> all right. brian thanks so much. appreciate it. we're also watching the all-important state of california, texas is number two california's the biggest delegate prize in the night voting ends there at the top of the hour, cnn's nick watt is at a polling location in santa ana california. nick, what are you hearing from voters there? >> well, it is beginning to pick up the word that many voters remember jake californians love to mail-in their ballots. but here the excitement is beginning to build as we get closer to the end of the polling hours. this is the talley room that people have just started moving in they're getting ready to tally up this vote. and where we are jake in orange county is actually a fascinating little

county between 1930, 6.2012, orange county voted republican in every single presidential election. then in 2016, they went hillary clinton in 2020, they went joe biden you know, ron reagan, one set of orange county back in 1988, he said, this is where good republicans go to go before they die. a few of those people have died that reagan was talking about and the demographic has really changed in this country, that in this county the diversity is, it's far more diverse, so it's really it's not a red county anymore. it's a purple county. it is just after los angeles suburban, affluent, educated, so it's gonna be interesting to see how how donald trump does here 2016 primary, he got 76% of the vote and orange county john kasich came in at very distant second, one, about 11%. it's gonna be interesting to see what votes

haley picks up here and might give us an indication of that sort of suburban educated issue that donald trump might have. now the other issue right here, this is one of the key districts for the house that the democrats want to take it as currently held by republican serving her first term. but joe biden took this district last time around. so this is one of the districts that the democrats are really focusing on. the house race to try to win back control. so we're going to wait polls close about an hour or so. we'll see what happens. >> all right, nic quiet in orange county amidst those santa ana winds and we can bring you a projection right now. from minnesota cnn can project that donald trump will be the winner of the minnesota republican primary. 39 delegates at stake, and donald trump is going to pick up the minnesota what a republican primary vote this evening on the democratic side, on the minnesota democratic primary, cnn can project that incumbent

president joe biden will be the winner of that state's 75 delegates. the minnesota democratic primary. let's bring you a key, key, key race alert. now let's look at the actual votes as they put them on them bored in vermont, which has been neck and neck all night. donald trump still in the lead for that states 17 delegates, 48.3% of the vote. that's 23,000 721 votes. 147 votes more than nikki haley. this is her strongest state, yet in this super tuesday contest, but she's still pulling up the rear 48% of them that's what an estimated 70% of the vote in, in the commonwealth of massachusetts with 40 delegates at stake. donald trump has 61.4% of the vote very dominant at 6,387 votes. that's 36,807 more than nikki haley, who is 35.2 percent of the vote. that's about a quarter of the vote is

in there, about 23% of the estimated vote in massachusetts. what do you got for me, john, we're looking at the haley vote, looking at the trump vote >> but if you look at the trump vote, let's start there. he's the headline. he's won. you just added minnesota to it. if you look across the map, states that we have projected and some that are still to come tonight. at the moment, they're all trump brett. so if you're at the trump headquarters, you're happy. you're dominating europe, approaching 700 delegates. you could cross the thousand by the end of the night and clinch this a week from now. so you could say trump is dominant. he doesn't have to worry about nikki haley. i just want to show you some of this gets a little complicated, so follow along with me first we're, gonna go to the full county level of the map, right? this is now the map by county and by townships. when you get up into new england. but this is the republican race so far. so you see a lot of trump that's the red and the yellow. so i'm going to isolate for you here, counties won by nikki haley, right. let me bring this out. >> i'm with me. bring this up these are the counties just wanted by nikki haley, 214 counties and townships and

vermont and new hampshire. that's what they call them instead, as that slides across, you see most of them are up here in the new england area, but you see these other ones across the state. those are the areas nikki haley is one of the republican primary. again, if you're watching this to trump headquarters, it's not that much. you're not that worried about it, right? so now, let me overlay this. let me bring in these haley counties jumping on me there and let's overlay it with counties that joe biden won in 2020 right? so about 95%, it's fluctuating because we're still counting votes and somebody says, but more than 90% of the county, she is one of the republican primaries are counties. joe biden won in the 2020 general election. so one way to look at that is if you're republican, so what she's wondering whether democrats win, but that's the wrong way to look at it. that's the wrong way to look at it because we're waiting. let me just get her voters are mostly republican voters, right? >> for >> example, you will come in here if you want to win virginia, or if you want to win pennsylvania, you've gotta win places like this. the suburbs here, the suburbs here, the suburbs here, right? so she is winning in places that matter come november trump is

dominating the race. i'm not trying to say he's not dominate the race, but that's just one there. and then you come up in new hampshire again, a state that could be in play in november? >> absolutely. it was very joe biden won by more than hillary clinton did in 2016. but again, if you want to win new hampshire you've got to do business here, here and here and allow these other places too. but these are the places that nikki haley is winning. so when you look at her vote, it's easy to say. okay, that's nikki haley that's donald trump. it's dominant and it is, right? it is. he is dominating, but the places that she is winning are places that in the key battleground states even in these states, here are places like them that matter come november. so there's a fascinating case study, even as she is losing and being overwhelmed in losing there are some very important lessons in there. >> yeah, it seems >> as though this is also just looking at the fact, look, donald, she has put just sorry to interrupt you, but she has pulled ahead narrowly ahead. 97

votes ahead with 74%. this could end up in the w column for nikki haley, we don't know it's so close. but in any case, the point you were making joe biden won the 2020 election. and despite what some people out there, my thing that is a fact. joe biden won the 2020 election and one of the ways he won, but it was a lot of people who would like to vote for nikki haley for president voted for him, like right here, that's what i just circled, right? yeah. she's running she's running there tonight. joe biden won virginia by ten points. i mean, it was considered a close battleground state again, since 2008. it's been democrats. i'm going to say it is at least leans blue until somebody convinces a couple. but yes, that's so you have to put the point is more who those women and men in the suburbs are, right? and >> so joe biden won new hampshire, where it was i just a minute ago, right here. and right here and right here. right. and so if you're republicans, you say, well, she's just it's getting democrats, so she's just getting you democratic-leaning independence, though. she's also getting independents who

lean republican. and some republicans who might vote for democrat in the fall if they can't stomach voting for donald trump. >> but let's talk about biden's weakness for one second. and if you'll indulge me punch-up, if you would, minnesota, it's come back to 2024. the democratic primary. okay. there you go. so that's 16%, right? 16% 9,729, it's still early that number is going to grow, but the bottom line is again democrats dissatisfied with joe biden. again, as we said with trump, he's dominant. he's winning. give, give the man is do, give the devil is do whatever like he is doing what he needs to do. but look at all these people dissatisfied with him. now, if you could indulge me for one more second, show me the hillary clinton versus donald trump, minnesota. >> i see up there >> right now she won. but you only be she only beat trump by 44,000, 1,000 votes and you look, i mean, she won in the

urban areas and this close in suburbs that he wants just about everything else. it's blue collar areas up here. we don't know what >> the uncommitted vote is going to be. in minnesota by the end of the night, but it could be more than 44,000. right. so she was 44,000 points there. joe biden stretches it out much more. so again, this is because of the suburbs. as the suburbs and younger voters and younger voters as well. and so then, now you come forward to where we are now, and you want it to the democratic primary? yes. in a state that you don't think it's going to be in play, but just might be in play or voters like that here, who might live somewhere else who were just mad and they're looking for something to do. so you watch that number. it's 16%. if you round that up in minnesota right now, just want to check on the total thing, colorado. it's just 7% of smaller number, but still, still, those are your there were voters, those are your voters who are saying on this night, even as you run away with things, that they're mad at you. and this was the high point we expect this to be the high point because of the arab american and muslim american and the college-age population in michigan, 13% more than 100,000 votes a week ago. but

yes, just as donald trump is marching to renomination or to nominee my nation, excuse me, he's not an incumbent. joe biden is marching to renomination. jake and donald trump has some serious things to deal with to try to heal if he wants to be a stronger candidate in november. so too does the president all right. as donald trump >> scores win after win the super tuesday, the biggest prize on the super tuesday is still ahead. it's now 10:00 p.m. eastern. >> we are >> an hour away from the end of voting in delegate-rich, california, where a whopping 169 delegates are at stake in the republican primary, more than any other state. donald trump is angling for all of those delegates as he hopes to deliver a knockout blow to nikki haley and fully pivot two of his long anticipated second face off with president joe biden. both biden and trump are counting on california's wins tonight to catapult them toward the expected rematch but we can now make morning projection follow along, folks, because you're not expecting this one.

cnn is projecting that entrepreneur jason palmer we'll win the democratic caucuses in the american territory of american samoa jason palmer defeats president joe biden in the territory of american samoa. now palmer is an entrepreneur. he's an investor. these previously worked with the bill and melinda gates foundation. let's take a look at what we see here. it is with 99% of the estimated vote in 56% of the vote went to jason palmer. that's 51 votes that's just 11 ahead, but enough to win against joe biden, the incumbent president who has 44% of the vote. so that's 91 when people turned out to vote. and a majority of them went to jason palmer, who now wins american samoa dana, i know you've been preparing for this announcement for weeks, if not months. tell me more. >> it was totally on my bingo

card. i know jeff zeleny. you went to americans note. we can take >> opec dateline is certainly one, but i was just a quickly reading this samoa news and was reminded i'd forgotten that michael bloomberg 10 yeah, 2020 was the only one line. >> and joe biden did not win. so look, this is something that i think if you show up you have perhaps when or at least helps you in doing that. but it is a reminder that the territory's vote in primaries, yes, but not in general elections here. so no word from the biden campaign on the reaction to that devastating 11 vote loss in american spy it's been does make him the first president to incumbent president to lose a contested primary though, since jimmy carter, is that true? >> i >> mean, i need to double-check that because this i believe anybody has complied it i didn't read the challenge. i think that's right. >> its products problem. >> that is probably true. >> body. are you doing a deep dive in the case in palmer

right now? >> apparently, i need to get on it so everyone get on the wikis because we've got some research to do. although i think it's worth noting that biden has been in the '80s, '90s, percent of throughout the night which trump hasn't been. and for all of the hand-wringing about how like, what does this mean? what does this mean? it's not like he's coming in at 60% everywhere. that's not what's happening. even though he had people actively in the race, you're dean phillips, your cornell west et cetera, much higher. >> actually i've been looking at dean phillips says that social media accounts and he's poking a lot of pfk-1 of himself congratulating marianne williamson and all the other candidates for getting more votes than congrats to palmer because star course, that's true and palmer actually has one. i think. >> i mean, i think there's point ever reminds us. i mean, to audie's point that the biden campaign is also breathing a sigh of relief because they have gone through now 50 days of voting without there being serious primary challenges.

now, one could argue woody be stronger. now at this point, what do you have unified the democratic? a base if he had at a challenge, probably not actually think can be very divisive here. so the primary electorate, so different than the general electorate. so all these numbers, i think what instruct those are all such good points that certainly when you look at the general election the president has some work to do. but what we are seeing tonight, as we've been talking about all night on the republican side, donald trump does have some warning signs, especially with john was showing us in the suburbs. i know you've been talking to people about the haley vote and what that will mean for donald trump. yeah. and i think given that, what we'll see here the next few minutes works. i think trump to come out, i believe in the next ten minutes or so, one thing to watch in the next hour as these numbers are coming in is, how do joe biden? donald trump respond to this? what does the white house say in a statement they put out a paper statement pretty much every election night, i believe. and then he's talked about it later. trump obviously is coming in and planning on

speaking at this party that he's having at mar a-lago one way one thing to watch is how does he handle nikki haley? because of course, in iowa, we saw how he came out and he dismissed her and ron desantis in new hampshire, he was seething mad. had didn't care at all about his own victory was just mad that nikki haley was still in the race after south carolina, he did not mention her by name and we know for her part, she's also doing something different tonight, which is that she's not expected to make any public appearance as we've heard from her after every other election night. and the one thing that we have seen from be consistent from senator lindsey graham, two other trump allies online in another tv appearances is they're calling on nikki haley to drop out of the race and to unite behind donald trump is the term that they haven't had an answer for. what do you do with all the people who voted for her? what do you do with all the people who are disinterested? that's why it matters, how he handles her as much as all we've all talked about the idea of him running as an incumbent. he's really actually running as a one the term president. well, i'll tell you one thing that >> our colleagues just found is an interview that the former

president did with mark levin today talking about nikki haley. and he said, at the beginning, she was very nice, very respectful, and then she's gone crazy. i've never seen anything like it. she's become really angry. i think it's because she's not she's just getting nowhere. >> well, i mean, look, the reality is i mean, as audie was saying, he does need your support, i'm thinking back to a conversation ahead with a man named martin green from wilmington, north carolina on friday night and charlotte at a nikki haley rally. he's told me this trump can't win without her supporters calling her names, isn't going to help him win he said he was going to make his mind up voting for trump biden are third party candidate based on how trump treated nikki haley. so i think this is something that the former president has to tread carefully here. so i'm fascinated to see how he handles. >> i also think that i'm just listening to that he's basically mirroring what she's said about him. he's using almost exactly the same language, just taking her attacks on him and just throwing them right back at

her, which is a typical a trump tactic. so that's how i read that. the other thing about nikki haley's supporters, we need to know whether they were going to vote for donald trump. anyway, i don't think that we know that. yeah, i mean, i just have to get to jake. he's got a projection. thanks, dan. and we have a major projection right now. cnn can project that the commonwealth of massachusetts republican primary winner will be donald trump, 40 delegates at stake in the commonwealth of massachusetts. donald trump it will be the winner of that republican primary. cnn can project and let's bring you a key race alert right now. and let's take a look at the big board in vermont, which has been going back and forth all night, 17 delegates at stake nikki haley is in the lead right now, 49.3% of the vote. that's 27,840 43 votes. that's 14, 20 ahead, 1,420 votes more than donald trump, who has 46.8% of the vote. that's with an estimated eight he the 1% of the vote in

that's been going back and forth all night haley taken the lead, then donald trump taken the lead back-and-forth, back-and-forth right now it is nikki haley. let's go to david chalian right now to look at the all important number of delegates, how are the delegates going to? >> that's right, jake, that's how you win the republican you get nomination. you have to amass delegates 865 delegates at stake tonight on super tuesday and look at that scoreboard so far tonight, we've been able to locate 430 of those 865 delegates tonight to donald trump. so half basically, nikki haley thus far has only been allocated three delegates obviously, if she wins vermont, she may get some more there, but we'll continue to track, look at what that means for donald trump's delegate hall to date in this race 1,215 delegates are needed to win the nomination. donald trump stands at 700 delegates, combat hairdo. nikki haley's 46 delegates, different universes of support in this

contest on display. what percentage of delegates donald trump's one so far, 92.4% of the delegates awarded thus far have gone to donald trump, only 6% have gone haley and therefore, donald trump his need number to cross that 1215 threshold keeps going down 30.6 percent is what he needs of the remaining delegates available in the future contests to secure the nomination. nikki haley needs 70 point two of the remaining delegates and she's not winning anything like that, jay yeah, donald trump could lose all the rest of the, all the rest of the primaries and still get the night nomination. he only needs 30% of the rest of the delegates. let's go to kylie atwood right now, who is covering the haley campaign for us. she's in charleston, south carolina and kylie not a good night for nikki haley. they

knew they weren't going to win. most of the delegates they knew they weren't going to win most of the contest, but they were hoping for more >> of course, they were. i mean, the nikki haley campaign was hoping to rake in the highest number of delta i'll it gets that they could, they didn't publicly say what that figure would be, but it was really delicate game for them will have to see how that plays out. by the end of the night here. but those who are close with nikki, haley and her campaign have already begun having discussions about what is next for her. their campaign is getting a lot of feedback on the discussion as to whether or not she should endorse former president trump if she ends her own presidential bid. and there's one camp of folks who thinks that she should endorse him because it would be good for the party. it would show her as a team player. it would show some unity. but then there's another group who have voiced their opinion to the campaign as well, who ardently believe that do you should not endorse him because they don't

think that it would be good for her. they think that it would give her more flexibility to speak out against trump down the road, they think it could potentially actually give her the option to build something on her own after this presidential campaign. both of those sides have voiced those opinions too. the campaign in recent days and weeks, i'm told by multiple sources and the context here is that nikki haley initially made that pledge that she would stand behind fine. she would endorse the eventual nominee of the republican party that was late last summer in order to get on the debate stage. but in recent days, she has it's essentially said that she no longer believes that she has to uphold that commitment and she's given two reasons for that. she said the rnc is not the same rnc as it was when she made the initial commitment. she's also pointed out that donald trump never made that commitment, so she doesn't necessarily have to uphold her end of the bargain here. so that's an area for us

to continue watching as we watch to see what her campaign will do after the results are all in tonight. >> all right. kylie atwood with the haley campaign charleston, south carolina, erin burnett. >> all right. jake and so i think what you know, kylie, it depends on what nikki haley is going to do, depends on what she sees her future is she running to replace liz cheney as the head of the anti-trump factions of the party or does she want to have a future in 2028? i think that's that's what she's gonna have to make her mind up here and we'll find out probably tonight or tomorrow. yeah. i watched her on sunday and in the same interview, she said she couldn't be sure whether trump would uphold the constitution, but she was judgment as to whether she was going to endorse him or not. and those two things to a lot of people are going to seem inconsistent i mean, i give her a lot of credit for grit and determination and relentlessness. i don't give her a ton of credit for courage because she's not wanted to touch that third rail and call trump out for things that he clearly should be called out

for. >> well, listen, she has gone >> farther than >> 99% of republicans and calling trump out. i'd say this the best thing she could do is not port him in bank on what she is banking on which he's radioactive in a general election. and if in fact trump loses, which is absolutely an open question, she could be. there is somebody talking about rebuilding a winning coalition. maga is not the majority of the republican party and there needs to, at some point be someone who acknowledges that and can speak to both sides of it. but if she gets in and endorses listen, she made i get the romney treatment or she may very well. but brought back into the fold and boustane trump world. but i think it's a question of, are you putting your integrity first? are you putting your >> not she is not scheduled to speak tonight. yeah we don't have that could change. but as i'm sure, which is interesting, i mean, i guess she'll probably take the night and think about it, sleep on it wake up in the morning, look at the math, make a decision. i don't know >> i mean, it's thousand points delegates, but als in the three yeah. but i look i mean, i think axis point is right. i mean, she, you know, this sunday she was very she

really equivocated. she kind of i mean, yes, she found her her her backbone a little but in the last few months here, but really throughout the entirety of the campaign, she sort of equivocated. so it leaves people with a sense of in-authenticity, but also that's not an effect. it's not effective campaign message. you kinda have to hit people over the head with a sledgehammer, right? and that level of nuance, this sort of, well, he's, he's not great, but also he's fine. well, i guess he's okay. that doesn't inspire confidence and it certainly doesn't inspire people to come out and vote for you. >> i think that is all right. there's one thing she hasn't equivocated on the witches are stand for the people of ukraine who are dying right now because they haven't had she had an irrational bullets that having to ration bullets right now against the dictator that wants to kill them all. she hasn't equivocated on that she hasn't equivocated on nato. jasmine equivalent, like we sometimes talk about where israel isn't. so i do think that trying to figure out what she's gonna do

next is hard, but what she's doing right now, standing up right thing for the best in the party i think is good. >> just want to interrupt because we do have a projection, jake, sorry to interrupt erin, but here is that projections cnn, nick canal project, the joe biden will be the winner of the utah democratic primary. 30 delegates at stake. incumbent president joe biden will be the winner. cnn can project of the utah democratic primary back to you, erin. >> all right. and you know, just as this comes in and is a dynamic night, we've got more post-closing. >> go ahead, scott, yet to van's point about where she has not equivocated on the foreign policy issues. this is one of the bright dividing lines inside the party right now. that's animating these intra-party debates. you see it in the senate, seen in the house republican conference this strain of republicanism, isolationist more withdrawn. it's always been there and we've thought about this inside the party for decades but he isolation is strain is ascended and i would submit there's also a strain of that and the progressive left as well that would rather see it's not engage around the

world, but, but i do admire that at about her message but as we have found out in this primary, that is not the ascendant message. and you wonder over time, depending on how long this lasts, where do those foreign policy motivated voters? >> go? >> and i think we're going to find out some of them are going to end up voting. possibly democrats. >> by the way, we should note ukraine as a dynamic situation. there is a reality, god forbid, that in this spring counter offensive, the tide of the war in ukraine could fundamentally change. and there are voters in this country who've traditionally been republican, who would have a very hard time casting their vote so for somebody who has been blocking aid to ukraine, meaning donald trump, well, we're waiting him. >> he's going to be speaking at any moment here. and everything you know, this is i'm sorry, go ahead and i was just saying he's tone and tenor. what he says how does he treat nikki haley's >> that we've seen two we've seen two approaches from trump won was in iowa where he was gracious and one was in new

hampshire where he was ridiculous. and what he did was antagonized her and antagonizes support, isn't one of the burdens that he has just started to see which ones here. let's see and otherwise that there's ever been won like this has never been anything so conclusive. this was an amazing, an amazing is an amazing day. it's been an incredible period of time and our country's history, it's been said and so many ways, but i think it's going to be inspiring because we're going to do something that frankly, nobody has been able to do for a long time. we've watched our country take a great beating of the last three years nobody thought a thing like this would be possible we wouldn't have russia attacking ukraine. we wouldn't have israel being attacked a ran as you know, was broke when i was running

things, they were broke. they didn't have money for hamas, they didn't have money for hezbollah we had no inflation, inflation is destroying the middle-class. it's destroying everything. inflation, if you look back over the history, hundreds of years back, it's called inflation is called a country buster and that's what it's doing to our country. what's happened with inflation has been unbelievable. a lot of people say a lot of experts have said the stock markets, the only thing that's doing well and that's doing well because our poll numbers are so much higher than joe biden he's the worst president in the history of our country there's never been anything like what's happening to our country today. it was announced that 325,000 people were flown in from parts unknown migrants

were flown in aeroplane, not going through borders, not going through that great texas barrier that i was with the governor of texas, greg abbott the other day and we were looking at the job they're doing, but in the meantime, they're pouring into california pouring into arizona, because those governors aren't doing anything. they're doing nothing. but today was just announced before i came out. it was unbelievable. i said that must be a mistake. they flew 325,000 migrants flu or min, over the borders in into our >> so that >> really tells you where they're coming from. they want open borders. and open borders are going to destroy our country we need borders and we need free and fair elections that we don't have a country this is an incredible group of people. so many celebrities that i'm not going to introduce any because i'm just going to get myself in trouble if i do that because i'll leave out most of you but we have this as a room chock-full of incredibly talented people like

some of the guest standing written front of me, right. big, big futures, big fat, beautiful futures i'd love to be your age a lot of money to be your read but we have we have some tremendously talented people in this room, including tremendously talented political people well that have helped me right from the beginning, we had the safest border in the history of our country. we built 571 miles of wall we had mexico supply us with 28,000 soldiers because we we wanted them. that's why. and they said we won't do that. i said yes, you will you will >> and then the end they did. it was an easy negotiation, but we had the safest border of the best numbers we've ever had. and now we have the worst numbers probably probably in the history of the world. it's sad to see what's happening to our cities. our cities are being overrun with migrant crime. and that's biden

migrant crime but it's a new category of grime and it's violent, where they'll stand in the middle of the street and have fist fights with police officers. and if they did that in their countries from where they came they'd be killed instantly instantly. they wouldn't do that >> so the world is laughing at us. the world has taken advantage of us three years ago we were at a level, we were energy independent. we're going to be very shortly energy dominant and today we're getting oil from venezuela. can you believe it? >> and we're >> doing numbers on that. all you know what we're doing, we're refining the oil. we have our refinery for that oil. it's really i call a tar. it's not oil, it's terrible. we have real stuff but we're refining it in houston. so for all of the environmentalist you to look at that because all of that tar is going right up into the atmosphere. you just thought to take a look at the

only plant that can do it. we have the only plants that can take tar and make it into oil and that's what it is. it's a shame >> but we were energy independent we're going to be energy dominant. we're going to be supplying oil to europe all over the world and then a tragic thing happened during the election. it was a tragedy because you wouldn't have think of it all of the problems that you have today. i don't think you would have had any of them you only have success and that's what's ultimately going to unify this country and unify this party. we have a great republican party with tremendous talent and we want to have unity and we're going to have unity. and it's going to happen very quickly. and i have been saying lately success will bring unity to our country. and it happened before we had the best economy or country's ever had and people were calling me that i would've said will never happen. it'll never happen. >> they >> wanted to get together. african american, asian american hispanic american,

women, men, people with diplomas from the best schools in the world and people that didn't graduate from high school, every single group was doing better than ever before. and it was a beautiful thing. our country was coming together our country was coming together >> and >> now we have a very divided country. we have a country that a political person uses weaponization against his political opponent. never happened here it happens in other countries, but their third world countries and in some ways we're a third world country where a third world country at our borders and were third world country at our elections. and we have to stop that. we need a fair and free press. the press has not been fair, nor has it been free, but maybe someday they will be there being beaten up pretty badly. people aren't trusting them. they're not believing them. and really it's a very

important factor the press us to be the policeman it used to police our country now, nobody has confidence in them. and we have to get that confidence back. it's so important for the success of our country. so on so this has been a day that we, we've been waiting for. i want to thank my family for being here. so great family. i've a great family. >> they've had it >> very easy since i decided to run for politics. they say thanks a lot that we appreciate it. but they're strong and they're very capable people and they loved the country. they really do love the country. and we appreciate it. and i want to thank everybody by staff susie chris, credible

job right about drag i read, an article yesterday where it said this is one of the finest run campaigns that anybody has ever seen. that's pretty good, righ that's pretty ruling state and we have no choice because november 5 right around the corner. november 5 is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country we're going to take it and we're going to make it like it should be respected right now. we're not respected right now. our country is known as a joke. it's a joke other

leaders who i speak to other leaders can't believe what happened to us. because three years ago we were the most respected country anywhere in the world by far. we were doing things that nobody could believe china was paying as billions and billions of dollars in 25 years, they paid us nothing zero, not $0.10. i was getting billions of dollars and they were happy about it, as happy as you can be. of course maybe there's reasons for things having happened. but they were not they were not so happy with certain things, i guess based on things that took place, but they were we were getting along with everybody. we were getting along and we were respected by everybody. we had no war or as remember when i had the debate with hillary clinton, she said, look, look at him, look at that personality. he's going to cause wars, wars, i said no, my personality is going to keep us out of wars. and that's what happened for 20 years.

>> they were fighting isis. i defeated isis in four weeks. i got rid of isis 100% 100% of the isis calories and we had no wars and we stopped tours. we weren't getting along with a lot of countries, all of a sudden, north korea, which is a serious nuclear power. but north korea came along kim jong un, we got along very well. we got along very well with china until covid, that was a little bit too much as far as i always concerning, that was too much, couldn't take that one but we made a trade deal with china that i don't even talk about $50 billion a year and product they bought from our farmers, our manufacturers. they used to buy ten. i got 50 and it was great, but covid i don't even talk about that because covid

was such a horrible thing. it started in the wuhan lot labs just as i said the one hand labs and it came out, i believe through and competence. i believe it was incompetence. some people think it wasn't, but i believe it was but regardless, it costs $60 worth of damage and death all over the world. all over the world. and we did a fantastic job on that. we never got credit for that unbelievable job on that. we came up with things that nobody thought was possible. don't forget when it came in. nobody had a knife i did what it was. they didn't even use the word pandemic. nobody had an idea but we did a fantastic job and we got a lot of credit for the economy, a lot of credit for our foreign policy. i think credit like nobody very few people have gotten in the press was very honest about it. they give us very high marks on foreign policy. the abraham accords, so many different things we did but we we'd never

got the kind of do that we should have for the covid or as i call it affectionately the chinese virus. the china virus which is a much more accurate term and despite that the stock market when we turned it over the stock market was higher than it was prior to covid coming in. it was an amazing thing that we did an amazing job we have so many people that worked on that. so many of the doctors, so many of the scientists that worked with us on that. it was really, really something. but there's never been an administration that had more success in so many different elements. we got the largest tax cuts in history. we have the largest regulation cuts. it we rebuilt our military >> and what happened? >> we rebuilt our entire >> military and beautiful. we had jets, jet fighters that

were 53 years old and we had all brand new jet fighters and then after this other group of people that didn't know what they were doing, they took over and we had that horrible surrender and afghanistan, i call it a surrender. we took the soldiers out first i dealt with the leaders of the taliban in afghanistan. they were the ones that were causing the trouble the press was very angry because they said, why are you calling them? i said because that's where the problem is. i say oftentimes, i say they asked jesse james jesse, why do you rob banks? he said because that's where the money is. and i. said that's where the problem is with the taliban. and i spoke to abdul he is still the leader, believe it or not, he's really the leader of afghanistan, but he's the leader of the taliban, a rough group i say, don't ever shoot our soldiers again, don't ever do it very interesting what happened is that we were having during the

obama administration previously they were shooting a lot of our soldiers. and i let him know. i said don't ever, ever let that happen. i said very rather nasty fashion would have to go into a tonight for 18 months. we lost nobody in afghanistan and then we had that heart horrible, horrible >> where we lost 13 soldiers, >> 38 horribly wounded. left americans behind, you know, we have americans right now still behind hello, i'm hostages if you like it was a terrible moment. we left at $5 billion worth of brand new, beautiful equipment behind jets and tanks and air everything you can think of goggle, night goggles. they didn't use the fight. they're good fighters they didn't use the fight at night, but now they do because they have goggles, they have better goggles and we have so i just want to tell you that led to a lot of bad things and now the

worst things are happening. the things that are happening now are unthinkable and there unthinkable at the border. we have millions of people invading our country. this is an evasion. this is the worst invasion probably we've never had anything like it. no country has ever had anything like it the number today could be 15 million people and they're coming from rough places and dangerous places. and we had that shut we had everything going so beautifully when joe biden goes to the beach because somebody on his staff thinks it looks very good in a bathing suit until they can't get his feet that at the sand or lift the chair which weighs about nine hours since joe biden, if he would have just left everything alone, he could have gone to the beach. you would've had a tremendous success at the border and elsewhere. so we're going to take back our country. we're going to make sure we are

going, to do it right? we're going to have the greatest economy ever in the history of our country. we're going to top what we did we're going to become an energy center of the world. we are ready to become energy dominant and they stop that, they stop that, but we're going to become energy dominant. we're going to pay off debt. we're going to do things that nobody thought was possible. you know, we hadn't done our second phase of it the tax cuts, what we did the tax cuts that democrats florida is very hard and now they say, well, i guess that was pretty good because we took in much more revenues after we cut taxes and then we did all of those regulation cuts and people were working and everybody was happy and we're all proud of our country but we're going to win this election because we have no choice if we lose the election, we're not going to have a country and we're going to do

something >> thank you very much. >> we love you too and we love our country >> and we can't let this magnificent some people call it an experiment. i don't call it an experiment. i just say this is a magnificent place is magnificent country and it's so sad to see how far it's come and gone. when you look at when you look at the depths of of where it's done, we can't let that happen. we're going to straighten it out. we're going to close our borders. we're going to drill baby drill. we're going to get the inflation down >> and we are going to make our country greater than ever before. and we're going to do it quickly. we're gonna do it quickly. it's going to go fast we have to get the criminals out. we have many, many criminals that have entered our country. we have people coming

in from such, such bad places, and we're gonna have to get them out. we have murderers that are being deposited into our country. we have drug dealers at the biggest and highest levels that coming into our country we have people coming into our country that just shouldn't be here. but many. and i say many large percentages, they come in through the caravans. they come in many different ways. now we find out again, they come in through airplanes were sent them in this is crazy, but they come into our country. we're going to stop and we're going to close our borders. we're going to have to deport a lot of people, a lot of bad people because our country's can't live like this. our cities our cities are choking to death. our states are dying. and frankly, our country is dying. and we're going to make america great again, greater than ever before for thank you very much. been a big night. thank you very much. thank you >> all right. former president

donald trump declaring victory on super tuesday. it has been a super tuesday for donald trump. he had many remarks. it was mainly a pivot to the general election, did not mention nikki haley. there was a brief allusion at one point, dana bash where i thought he was going to say something. he said something about how we have a lot of young talent and the party needs to unify. and i thought, oh, possibly this is a pivot note to a reference to nikki haley, but no. but he did not attacker which is i'm sure for his advisors there's an aids something that they're talking up to as a victory. >> no question about it you know, look, could there have been a moment where trump said you know, gave some kind of olives, olive branch rhetorical olives, olive branch to nikki haley shore. but that clearly wasn't going to happen. maybe it will eventually boy, where do we? i've been start tom foreman is doing a fact check. i think he's going to have a very, very long summary of things that he is going to say

about what donald trump said that wasn't exactly right at all. for example, dog just give you one example. the whole notion that farmers did really well when he was having this trade war with china. remember that america, congress, the taxpayers, had to give some money to farmers, particularly in iowa, that because they were really suffering under china. but what he was trying to do was to walk down memory lane, kaitlan and talk about the issues that he believes are most important to me. we've talked to lindsey graham earlier. he said he needs to focus on the policy, wasn't all policy. but there were policies, whether it is foreign policy or immigration that he thinks is going to play. well, i think we just >> saw right there in that speech why donald trump stepped in and killed that bipartisan immigration bill that has been negotiated in the senate. most of that speech was about immigration. he knows it's one of the number one concerns that when you talk to voters that

they have and he is focusing his general election pitch on that and he didn't mention nikki haley, who mentioned unity multiple times, which is what every single surrogate and trump ally that has gone out tonight and urged her to drop out of the race, has said for unity, and he made clear that this was focused solely on president biden. he told a lot of lies and that statement, things that were not true. he talked about inflation in this country. he talked about energy production as of late december, the united states was producing more oil than any country in history. so that's not something that the white house often wants to tout. but i think it was just an important moment there where you just saw that this is what the next eight months of our lives are going to look like. that is going to be the general election pitch that he's making to voters and it's focused mainly on immigration and crime and inflation because he believes those are going to be the issues that looks a lot more like he did after iowa, new hampshire, but it also was less focused on any of the republicans and it was focused on what's ahead, which is obviously president biden, as he is also responding tonight.

>> i think i mean, one thing we didn't hear was how he's going to, as you said, the olive branch, but it's more than just being courteous. he needs those percentage of people to win. i'm just looking at their virginia numbers here. he's really struggling there, perhaps not surprisingly, in the suburbs of washington, but but i do think that that's one of the issues here, but clearly focusing on a president biden in the general election. >> i do. i mentioned tom foreman is doing fact-checks for us. let's get to tom. tom take it away. >> it wasn't locked to take in at once, sort of the greatest hits of many of his foal. >> so the weaponization of the doj, he brings it up all the time now saying, the only reason he's been charged with these crimes is because the joe biden >> administration is somehow reaching out to him >> utterly false. he's been indicted by grand juries of citizens. there have been officials in new york, officials in georgia, and even those who have come from the department of justice are operating under sort of a hermetic seal from the white house. so much so that merrick

garland has said that if he were told to do something by my joe biden, he would quit so any claim that this is a joe biden effort to prosecute them is simply not true. energy independence. kaitlan talked about it a minute ago. this is something that trump often likes to say that somehow things were much better under him with energy independence. the truth as us been moving steadily toward more energy production for quite some time now now the country has never stopped importing some foreign energy, even under donald trump. and we do indeed produce more now than we have before. so that's something the biden administration could run on themselves and say they're doing a better job. he raised this new claim, which we have not heard before, about 325,000 illegal immigrants being flown around the country, flown into the country by the biden administration. that seems to trace to one article that came out very recently that we don't really have anything to back up there at this point to say whether there's truth or

false hood to it? i would say from experience that sound specious so we will look into that and we'll find out whether or not there's any kind of truth to that. i would tend to say probably not because that's a very big number for people to be flying around with no sense of why they're out there and may very well be a misunderstanding of something or misinterpretation. and lastly, he said 18 months in afghanistan with no debts. all he was present. this has been checked out many times before. there's just no evidence that ever happened. there were times when the deaths were quite low in afghanistan, but that also included under joe biden before the withdrawal. so there's no claim they're lot of things said in a short period of time there a lot of them not true. >> tom. thank you so much for that fact-check abby, one of the things that the former president did talk about in tom mentioned this was a plane or planes of people coming into the us that is believed, believe he's referring to a parole system that it's controversial, but it's not a secret, but it's not a secret. the white house announced it.

the department of homeland security announced that they were doing it. it would allow 30,000 applicants a month from a handful of fewer than a handful of countries to go through a background check to have a sponsor sir, to be vetted before they are given limited permission to come into the country while their cases are adjudicated to work for a period of time, it's not a secret, and it's happening prior prior administrations. it's not a conspiracy. however, one notable thing and dana had to you for this elon musk has been tweeting about it today as kaitlan reported earlier, trump is trying to woo him and to help fund this campaign. so there's an excess for everything and look, lindsey graham lesson, he wants trump to stay on message, wants him to stay on policy. that would be totally fine if trump could do so truthfully, but he cannot and did not do that tonight. and that just illustrates.

>> okay. it's trump. we know he does that, but the biden campaign is going to have to take that and on all of these things on immigration, on the economy, on oil and gas production. you have to correct the record first before you can even tout your own accomplish cannot come back to the thing you said about elon musk, one of the things i found interesting about that, i think it was you is he tweeted specifically that the administration was importing voters which is a real hard nod to replacement theory, yes. which on the hard christian right a white nationalist rate is the idea that democrats are bringing in voters of color from around the world to benefit themselves that is, a direct line to those things. and i think over time it's trump comes out and talks more, more of that stuff, is going to surface and it's going to be far uglier than it was back in 2016 where they were vague in your window around it because now there are more platforms and people feel more empowered to speak. >> yeah, i mean, elon musk might have done it, but i think

this is what you're just referring to, abby donald trump set it, you add it, add an event over the weekend, set it on saturday, said it so explicitly that i had the homeland security secretary, alejandro mayorkas on the next morning, and i gave him a fact check. are you bringing people in illegally in order to change the electorate of the united states certainly it is about, you asking, right? so now we're in a wet no, i'm not saying you shouldn't, but what it does is it pulls ideas into them mainstream that are not. but it's important conversations that make no sense. >> there are real concerns from voters about immigration and about what's happening at the southern border and how it's been affecting majors cities in the us from denver to chicago, to new york city. that is a real thing. but he plays into it. it's just exactly what we saw with the voters who are speaking to john berman earlier or what we saw in our exit polls, that they don't believe that joe biden legitimately won the election even though he did. and the other thing that donald trump said there, which you cannot, ms the irony that he is coming out to tout a huge

victory on super tuesday. and he says that the elections in the united states are like third world countries, but he's coming out and touting that he has just one part of the election process in the united states history, and that is what is going to look like over the next several months. and that's why it's notable in biden statement tonight that he put out about his own super tuesday performance. he noted directly that he's facing donald trump, he believes come november and said he is determined to destroy our democracy that is what the president's campaign is going to be honing in. >> and erin, as i toss to you, what biden campaign officials say is that they are convinced that the more voters here, that kind of thing from donald trump, the more they are reminded of the trump years that weren't necessarily what they are talking about. mostly these days which is that they had more money in their bank accounts and they felt more flush going to the grocery store, right? right. and it's interesting though, david, that the trump is trying to do more subdued tone. he did try to hit

on some of those issues that he thinks resonate. >> there was a that was that was as good as you're going to get right there. that was a general for election speech that they take away on that line with success will bring unity to our country. that's the overarching theme of that speech. he's looking backwards. his administration saying we did so much better than the current administration. there was not any any mean-spirited talk about nikki haley didn't didn't throw throw our bone, but didn't say anything negative and it was pretty substantive and i think that i was telling van i said, you guys should be a little bit nervous if that's a donald trump that shows up for the next 244 days because still do very, very well. he'll be the next president. hands down, man >> get ready for the five-year-olds? get ready for this part of your life. this is now in general election fight that was a general election speech and now biden's up next. and i think biden will do very well. but i think he got to understand the court's not going to stop donald trump no

republicans going to stop donald trump. and now donald trump is not going to stop donald trump ball is racism, sexism. this train is coming in. joe biden as a stand up on thursday and answer back that's what's gonna happen. and he's going to do it and listen something that i think sorry, that we run into in the media as a question over how to cover donald trump and rightfully we often don't take some of his remarks, things where he's referred to people as vermin poisoning the blood of this country, talking about mass deportations in this much more extremist dangerous rhetoric that he's saying, basically every day when he's on the campaign trail. >> so >> what a lot of voters see is what they sought a night which spoke to the concerns i hear every day from voters pocketbook issues, border security safety in their communities, and that is a strong donald trump. it puts a bigger spotlight. listen, stay the unions don't traditionally matter. but because of the concerns over joe biden's age, this can be the most consequential stage. >> i think this is a critically important speech for two reasons. one is it's an opportunity for biden to lay out a name narrative that people can grab onto, which we

haven't really seen in this campaign yet, that weaves the things that he's done into a story about where he wants to take the country and who he's fighting for, and how the things he's working on are meant to reinvigorate the middle-class and so on. then in each instance he can, he can cite a he can cite a contrast. and the second piece of n. so i think you and i also think you're going to hear him be much more aggressive on the issue of the border. i think you're gonna hear him talk a lot about corporate price gouging van talked about that a couple of weeks ago and how that's affected it. did middle-class families on pricing and so on. and i think he's going to talk about the things that he's done on a bipartisan basis, which i think a lot of the country is hungering for. but how he does it is as important as what he does because of all of these questions that have been raised about him, he can be he can be very, very impressive in that

setting where he feels very much at home last year let people remember, was his confrontation with members of congress, which was good natured, but pointed in which he served, got republicans to agree that they didn't want to cut social security and medicare. and he's a great, we have agreement and everybody cheered in that went viral. brolin, he looked like a guy who was in the moment he needs to be that joe biden on thursday. >> yeah. and i think i think you will see a lot of what you were just talking about. i imagine you're going to see him lay out that case. he's going to lay out the positive economic vision he's going to talk about what he's doing for the middle-class he's going but he's also going to lay out an argument that he's then going to consistently make over the course of this election, donald trump is not going to make that argument that we just heard tonight over the course of this election. he we have seen time and again, he says things like immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country. he calls them vermin that scripted version of donald trump. he's not shown an ability to come out and be that guy every single day and he's not going to be that guy every single day for the next eight months. >> all right. >> all stay with us, jake.

>> thanks, erin. i'm standing here at the magic wall. john king. >> there >> is one race that we're still waiting to hear from of the states where the polls have closed and that is vermont, which is it's gone back and forth between nikki haley, and donald trump. but all night, what's going on there? >> that's a small prize on a big night nikki haley is ahead by more than 3,000 votes. now, our decision desk is going over the poor and you look at our about 80% of the votes up. one of the region isn't she pulled up this one votes in burlington came in it's the largest city, largest population center. obviously, she's warning there about 69% of the vote, not a lot of votes. you see that giant turnout in republican primary everybody. so now what are you looking at? you just say, look, my eyes tell me if haley is going to get one win tonight, but we have to walk through all these can check them out. you're just looking at some of the smaller the places this would be a tie. right garlic that you always love when you find those on the map. you just looking through some of these areas where we don't have vote yet, right? and just as an example, this is middlebury college town. lot of people know middlebury. so

nikki haley, if you see surrounding it, right? it's also a place where you just a lot of these places you're not getting a ton of votes, right? 101 to 43 right? so you're just looking now. so you're looking, that's why i say if you look at 3,000 votes in michigan, that's not a ton of votes in pennsylvania. that's not a ton of votes in vermont when most of the map is filled in on a pretty low turnout, republican primary she's getting very close to this, but you still see some we're going to count some votes. so what does it get? you don't overplay it in my view, that looks pretty good. we'll see if it holds up as we get through the rest of the thing we haven't called it yet. she may get a she may get a state as we march west, we still have a utah, california, alaska as we go west. but it's still a pretty dominant trump map to the point the panel was just making about how trump didn't even mentioned hurts and i didn't say anything good, didn't say anything bad. that will annoy him if it stays that way. yeah. let's take a look at the general election matchup what do you gotten from me? >> so let's go here. so you already see the candidates

moving to that, right? the candidates are already moving to the general election. you just, you just listened to president trump there. this is our projection of the map right? now. let me come back here too. this is bring this out. this is here. this is the last election. let me go all the way back. this is the last election in 2020. joe biden won and for any republicans who think he didn't, joe biden won 306 electoral votes to 232 electoral votes because of the census some electoral votes have been reassigned. so this is the 2020 states right now, it would be three or three to 235 because some electoral votes shift after every census. so here's the question. >> where are we, right? the november is eight months away. however, if you just look at recent polling and battleground states, that will trump is leading outside the margin of error in the most recent polling, michigan doesn't mean he would win, but he is just hypothetical poll late january in georgia, michigan, and georgia flip pick one more, right? pick one more. this is where again, there's, there's eight months that's the same one i was going to pick having been in nevada recently talking to people out there, a lot of

people think at this moment, that's it. that's all that has to happen. remember how close this was, you the closest battleground state. so joe biden won the same quote-unquote landslide. don't trunk call that a landslide in 2016, joe biden won the same landslide in 2020, harry reid's not there anymore, but it only takes, it only takes three and they've also been very competitive polls here, showing a dead heat. so i'm doing this as a hypothetical dead heat. that heat, right? and so you could conceivably, with the enthusiasm you're seeing that doesn't mean this is going to happen, not saying this is going to have, but if you're the incumbent democratic president of the united states, this is where you were in 2020. it is so easy. meaning it takes so few states easy is the wrong word, but michigan and georgia, again, public polling in recent weeks outside the margin of error, lot of people think that it just underscores the challenge for the president united states. now, now to the point where having earlier virginia is still blue, right? i still have pennsylvania blue on this, i think because of the suburban issue. so we have public polling available to us

that says, at the moment, michigan is in trouble for the president. george is in trouble for the president. a lot of evidence nevada is eight months is a long time to go. but if you are donald trump, that's why you're talking about those issues. you're talking about inflation, you're talking about immigration because you know, they play in a lot of places in america and they play in the states. i just hypothetically flipped. >> all right, joining us now, the national co-chair for the biden-harris presidential campaign, former senior adviser to president biden, former mayor of new orleans, mitch landrieu. good to see you, sir thanks for joining former president trump. having a great night on super tuesday. i mean, your guy is too, but he's not really running into composite competitive race. you just heard him speak to his supporters, say he's an incumbent president. there is a difference though joe biden and donald trump. you just heard trump speak to his supporters. what's your takeaway from the results so far? >> well, first of all, my takeaway from the from donald trump's speech was just utter amazement that he thinks that

nobody remembers that when he was in office, it wasn't all moon beams and fairy tales as though the world was perfect and now it's terrible and he's he's gonna be our savior. i thought first of all, he was very low energy tonight and secondly, i think tom foreman is can confirm this, but most, if not all of what he said was factually incorrect and is provably incorrect. and to the point where you would think that if his lips so moving he's lying or he's delusional. one of the two but just to give you an example, under donald trump's administration, he lost 2.5 million jobs sunday, joe biden's administration, he's gained 15 million jobs, a swing of 17 million jobs unemployment rate is better today than it was under donald trump. and by the way, the stock market hit four record highs. onto joe biden for donald trump to try to paint the picture. and let me just remind me, take credit for that, by the way, 17. 17, 70 of his cabinet members resigned and have and have bagged america not to put this guy within 100 yards of the

presidency, so that entire speech was built on a house of lies that president biden will continue to talk about. as this campaign goes forward. okay. but given all that, your guys still, still losing right now, i mean, the polls have trump up poll after poll after poll after poll has trump up. and a lot of those same polls in 2020 never had trump up, always had biden up. and now a lot of those same polls are saying they're really saying the same thing over and over and over and it doesn't matter how many democrats out there don't want to hear the message and say, oh, it's just an outlier that's just one poll something is wrong with your campaign right now it's not connecting with the voters. you need to win >> well, first of all, it's not true that every poll has shown that all the time these things have moved up and down as polls do this campaign, as we have said from the beginning, is going to be a very close campaign. it's going to be hand-to-hand combat but every

vote matters. both campaigns are going to have to fight hard for this when i would note for you guys tonight because you've been covering most of the trump results that nikki haley is really doing better than people expected to and as was said earlier by jon, she's winning in places where presidential elections are decided and in that group of people, those folks are tired of donald trump taken the republican party as they once knew it, the party where the cheneys and the bushes and the reagans and the romneys and all of those folks used to live in a it. and it's one of the reasons that we think that we'd have a really good chance. and that's where we're going to spend a lot of time as well as during our base. and we're going to get after it. and tonight, the campaign started up to this point, people didn't really think it was going to be biden versus trump. but here we are, and we're ready to go it's chunking, jumping in to appreciate the couple of better the map page. i'm gonna do a little bit more now. i'm not sure you going to like it. it's not welcome, but i want to want to come i want to come

back to your haley point in a minute. because i agree. huge target of opportunity for the biden campaign in places that matter. however, where we are today as jake just noted, you say everything donald trump said there was a lie. the american people remember his presidency, they remember he wanders about as far from the truth as you can get regularly. and yet at this moment not only is he marched into the republican nomination, but if you look at the general election polling, he is stronger now than he was weeks and months ago, including your friend, debbie dingell would say, i'm to just touch here that if the election were held tomorrow, goodbye, michigan, i'll just start with that one. i'll just start at that one. we talked a little bit about this last week about the uncommitted vote in michigan, because because the arab americans out there are mad, lot of the younger voters are mad when, when will we see the president united states not sending the national security team out, not saying the campaign team out, but going they're spending the time and i would argue not in a big rally but in a small room taking his hits and answering the questions >> well, first of all, i'm not sure when he's going to do

that. i'll leave it to him to make that decision. you think he should front of him, but i want to make this really i don't know, but i want to make i make this clear. we really understand in the president things people, ought to voice their opinion. and he's fine. fine with that. and as we move this campaign forward, we're going to continue to try to secure our base and we're going to try to expand as well. there are great opportunities here for the president, but john, i don't mean to disagree with you, you and i've been known each other a long time, but i'm not sure at all that the country really remembers donald trump's presidency given the time that has gone by and we got to remind them of it as should everybody else has fact checking. the things that he is saying. this race is going to be a very close race. it's going to be very hard fought as i want to remind everybody again, the only guy standing in this country that's ever beat donald trump is joe biden and our expectation is he's going to be able to do it again, we're not taking anything lightly when i've taken it for granted. and we're going to fight really hard. and i think we're going to do well and i think the president will demonstrate that in the state of the union on thursday night, you got to cut you off right there because they're hitting the top of the hour. mitch landrieu thanks for your time. no problem. thanks

so much in voting is about to end in the critical state of california and in the utah republican caucuses we are deep into super tuesday was the biggest prize of the night on the line, and we can now make a major projection and we are projecting the donald trump will win the republican primary in california with its delegate rich 100 delegates. donald trump will win. the california republican primary. let's look at all the states that donald trump has won to date. so this is from the beginning of the contest with iowa. we're going to do them in alphabetical order. alabama, arkansas, california, colorado, idaho, iowa. >> may >> that's just the first column. massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, nevada, new here hampshire, north carolina. that's the second column. third column, north dakota, oklahoma, south carolina, tennessee, texas, and the commonwealth of virginia all, right. a hall. we do have another projection for you right now. >> and >> this is vermont and we are going to call vermont for nikki

haley, the republican primary in vermont. and it's 17 delegates go to nikki haley. nikki haley picks up her very first state. she won the washington, dc primary over the weekend and vermont what is the very first state that she is one, nikki haley, again, projected to be the winner of the vermont republican primary. let's look at the votes there. it is, 50 the 0.4% for nikki haley, 33,684 votes. that is 3,215 votes more than donald trump. 45.6% of the vote that's with an estimated 89% of the vote in. but cnn is projecting that nikki haley will be the winner of the vermont primary. now a democratic projection cnn is projecting that joe biden will be the winner of the california democratic party with its huge all of 424 delegates. joe biden, again, the incumbent president will be the winner the california democratic primary. cnn is projecting. let's bring you a key race alert now all right, let's take

a look. look at what's going on in utah where the falling just close the votes disclosed and it's too early to call in utah where there are 40 delegates at stake. nikki haley has high hopes for you now we're going to be keeping an eye on utah, but as of right now, the republican caucuses in utah it is too early to call. you might remember historically, utah was a trouble spot for donald trump. theoretically, if during the republican primaries and caucuses in 2016, let's turn now to david chalian. this is obviously some delegates heading towards nikki haley, not enough, but some give us the board >> jake, if you are right to note that nikki haley will get some delegates out of that vermont wind up, but not many. let's start with california california had 169 delegates at stake tonight. you projected donald trump, the winner, and he gets all 169 delegates. why >> because he's campaign engineered. a change in the

california republican party rules this year, that if somebody got over 50% of the vote, they would get all so delegates. that's the kind of campaign work donald trump was thanking his campaign manager, chris lacivita for earlier tonight, when we heard from him 169 to nothing in california, where are we to date on this tonight? on this super tuesday night? donald trump has been awarded 617 delegates of the 865 at stake tonight. >> nikki haley >> is only got 23 out of tonight now. yeah. she got nine delegates it's out of that vermont victory, but she's at 23 to donald trump's 617 >> and now >> about the quest for his overall nomination. >> see today >> today. >> 893. he needs 1,200 and to secure the nomination. he is well on his way, 800 here to 93 delegates for the former president, nikki haley is up to

66 delegates not in the same ballpark as donald trump at all. what does he need? what, what, what is he? one, he's won 92% of the delegates today. nikki haley's only 16.8% mainly due to 6.8% >> what's left to get pro-donald trump? >> what does he need of the remaining delegates? >> you see it there 22.1%. that number has been going down all night as he still rolling through these victories, he now only needs 22% of the remaining delegates nikki haley needs 78.8% of the remaining delegates. to secure the nomination. >> jake very interesting stuff. david chalian john king. nikki haley does get a w on the board, but still, i mean, look at the delegate here, that delegate mass because just to reinforce what david said, number one, you see the math, you see the one haley victory in vermont. congratulations, but you see just from coast to coast so far. and again, what david just said i mean, the

challenge, if you're donald trump tonight, you're getting 90% of the delegates. remember in 2016, there was talk of we would there be a contested convention that's why i picked mike pence, satisfy christian conservatives and evangelicals that he was fine. that'll trump is not head to formerly clinching, which will be next week. and then beyond in a position of quote, unquote weakness when it comes to the republican party, this will be his convention. unlike 2016, obviously 2020 was his convention. but if you pull that up, you just look at the breadth of it. now, the question just now is just when does he get over thousand tonight? most probably. most likely, yes. and then he can clinch next week. so you're looking through it and that's just that's the issue of it, right. maine >> it's a very different state than california. he's getting 71% of the vote, right vermont is his weak spot tonight. 50% of the vote for governor haley there he loses this one. he almost lost that one in 2016 to john kasich. so it's never been a great state. you mentioned we're still waiting in other states faith it's always been a little quirky when it comes to donald trump because of its own republican traditions is here. be interesting to see what happens here. but now that

you've taken and then alaska as well. so other possibilities for governor haley to add a little bit to that. yes. >> but it's game over. it just as the challenges if you're trying to convince yourself, you know, she's a very smart politician the math doesn't lie to you. and if you're trying to convince donors, even, even donors who are never trumpers, i believe he said the words themselves. i am your retribution. well, he watches these things. and so there's a conversation among anybody who's still wants to fight him you're tilting at windmills the math tells you that and is it worth it? something else that's interesting to talk about this, because i think about vermont and i think about the governor who was a republican, phil scott and i think about what the republican party has been just in our lifetime. so we're in the middle of a great realignment right now in the united states, with educated voters becoming democrats, wealthier voters becoming democrats, than middle-class becoming republican. and one of the things we're seeing here i think is donald trump has in

many ways he's, he's a key part of it. i don't know. he's the only part of it, but he's a key part of changing the makeup of the republican party which is why nikki haley, who last won an election in her home state in 2014, when she ran for governor. the second time, but lost south carolina, but was able to win vermont because he has remade the republican party and republican voters in his image. and in fact, he has said publicly that if you're a mitt romney republican or a nikki haley republican, he doesn't want you in the party. now but that's a good way to make the party you're in your own image. i don't know. it's a good way to win an election in november, but it's a good way to win a primary and remake the party in your own image. david chalian, you have some new exit polls jake is, you know, there's also a senate race primary underway, a top two primary in california. this is to replace the late senator dianne feinstein. and i just

want to note here this is the context of a primary and a democratic state overall in the electorate, about 20% of the electorate in this primary is republican today, 43 percent democrat, 27% independent so what does that mix of voters think about the state of affairs? well, look at joe biden's approval rating. the president in california they add up strongly a proven somewhat approved sits at 50% in heavily democratic california. now that's significantly over-performing where he is nationally. and you see here 49% disapprove. so he's in half with his approval in california. we asked people, what do you think of your family's financial situation? again, this is in that california primary, 59% of the voters in that primary say they're holding steady a quarter, 26% say they're falling behind only 14% voting in the california primary percentage aid. they're getting hey feelings about roe versus

wade being overturned only 9% of voters in that primary are enthusiastic about it. look at the bottom of that 53% are downright angry about roe v. wade being overturned and another 18% are dissatisfied. this is my joe biden and his team believe democrats continued to be animated by this issue and feelings over all the way things are going in the us among the california democratic primary voters. again, look at the bottom two here, 36% dissatisfied, 34% angry that is 70%, seven in ten voters in this california basically a democratic primary with overrepresentation of democrats in the electorate. and 7.10 are satisfied or angry about the way things are going in the us. aaron >> all right. david, thank you very much. and david, what do you make of that? and just to be clear, as david was laying out, right. you're looking at these numbers in the context

yes. voted today, where did the exit polls? 43% of the people who voted today where democrats 37%, independence and 20% republican in the state of california? >> yes. that number primaries. so everybody is reflected in those numbers, but california is obviously a more progressive state. van jones is a resident of california that speaks to that, and i'm considered a moderate there a 50, 49 approval rating in california's not a is a warning sign for the president. you would expect him to be doing much better there. so if he's in that reflects the lower number across across the country let me just say parenthetically i know we're talking about the presidential race. this senate race was really fascinating because adam schiff made a play in this campaign. he basically decided he had a better chance of beating steve garvey, the former baseball player is

running as a republican than he did. katie porter democratic rep. who could have been the second contender, and he went after garvey on television for weeks and weeks and weeks and said, he's too conservative for california and so on, lifted garvey in this primary will see what happens, but it very well may end up as a shift garvey primary and shift will win that general election. >> scott just also looking at these these exit polls though, when you look at the issues, again, plurality of voters. so, but more democrat than anything else before 3%. what are the issues that matter cost of living number one, homelessness, obviously a very big issue in california, california issue there, perennially immigration and then crime climate change was after that. >> but the, but the point >> simply it seems to be that the immigration cost of living economy that cuts across the party lines, everybody is worried about it. i mean, it's why joe biden's job approval

is in the high 30s. i mean, they're bushels of democrats who were unenthused about his reelection campaign because of these issues, because they don't think he's up to doing anything about it or worse, they think his policies have actually caused it i've been looking at and thinking about all night is for him to win for biden to win, he's going to have to get a bunch of people who disapprove of his job, who believed his policies have fundamentally hurt them, to somehow put set all that aside on core fundamental day-to-day affect my life issues say, you know what? i just can't do it. it is a hard argument to make. it particularly when there is to appoint you made earlier, some nostalgia some nostalgia for when trump was in i didn't feel like i was treading water. i felt like i was getting ahead. there, didn't feel like chaos in the world and until the pandemic came things seemed pretty good. i mean, that's that's the fight they're in is to get people who don't like

you and don't think your policies were to come around and hold their nose and do it anyway? yeah. but this is going to be a brutal comparative race. and let me say there was one statistic in kind of downbeat set of polls for the president weekend. and that was people who had an unfavorable rating of both candidates. and there were plenty of them. and biden was leading among that group by ten points. so that was important. >> just to pause because we're going to come right back here in a moment i want to go to mj lee at the white house here, of course is biden's watching this and preparing for his speech. obviously this week, mj. >> yeah, you know, we've just gotten a statement from president biden where he says tonight makes clear that voters have a choice between moving forward and letting donald trump quote, drag us backwards. he mentions in this statement that he decided to run for president four years ago because of what he sees as this existential threat. that is

donald trump, and that if he is reelected, that is donald trump than the progress of the last three years would be reversed. this is a part of the statement from the president. it says my message to the country is this. every generation of americans will face a moment when it has to defend democracy, stand up for our personal freedom, stand up for the right to vote, and our civil rights to every democrat, republican, and independent who believes in a free and fair america. this is our moment. this is our fight together. we will win. erin. this is the joe biden general election statement. this is the reason that he is seeking a second term firm. and as you rightly noted, this is the theme that i think we are going to see so much of in his state of the union speech on thursday evening. this is the president and saying, look, we're at a crossroads right now, the country faces an existential choice, and that is defending democracy and freedom versus not. and it is clearly not a coincidence that the statement

references republicans, democrats, and independent independent. he's making the case that this isn't just about a republican versus a democrat, but that he believes that there should be enough americans regardless of what their political party is, what their political leaning is, that should be for or what he is fighting for. and that is again defending the threat that he sees in donald trump >> all right. mj keto, in that context, the democracy issue, and i know we've been talking about this even off-camera tonight. but look at california, 14% of the people who voted today feel that their families getting ahead 14%. yeah, that's a bismol. can you tell people that the democracy issue, while existential is more important than that actual experiential issue that people are facing, which is they don't feel that they're moving ahead. >> well, but the president is also talking about the economy and i would expect that you will hear that in the state of the union on thursday night as well. certainly you will hear the freedom some argument which encompasses republicans

encroaching on the freedom of woman's right to choose, which we've seen again has been an incredibly motivating issue for people over the last two years. but i would expect that in the state of the union, you're going to hear him talk a lot about his economic case. he will. i'm sure talk about everything think that he's done to bring costs down, but he will also i would expect i know this from having worked for him for a long time, he will talk about how he is growing the economy from the bottom up and the middle out. he will talk about how he is helping working people, how he's making sure the economy doesn't just work for the rich, but that it works for working people yes. is there a case that needs to be made? yes. we've talked a lot tonight about the democrats are happy the elections not tomorrow, but you know what he has eight months to make this case. i think he is going to make it very effectively, but don't forget these other issues combined. and i do think that the freedom argument in a democracy argument is significant. again, we've seen but. we've seen time and again, it has turned people out to the polls. you're right on

the idc it a little bit differently. i think that for people who went to college and who are doing, we're doing okay. i think that's a big motivator for us. the democracy piece. but i think that there's another set of people for whom the kitchen table argument is more real and i think he has a big opportunity on thursday to talk about that. if you look people don't feel good we can be factually honest, but emotionally dishonest. if we don't point out that whatever numbers we throw at you, whatever bills we passed, people don't feel good and how are they going to feel better >> right >> now, gas prices are down. that's good unemployment is down. stock market's up let's do lawnsman cut inflation. inflation is down. but people still don't feel good. >> why? >> food prices are too high and rents are too high. and so until you can go to the grocery store and come out with not paying twice what people are paying twice the amount to get the same amount of snow. i'm

emotional truth, of not feeling good despite all these numbers that we throw at you has got to be addressed. and now i think by and can hit that now because by him going after these greedy grocers, these grocery chain stores that are keeping food prices too high, he is putting forward a commission to go after them. i hope he hit that hard because if you can drive food prices down and show he gets it, that's important. the number two, i think it's important. number two rents are too high. housing to hide. you can't buy a house, you can't buy a car because the interest rates now at rather than having janet yellen out here telling people nothing's gonna happen. janet yellen, she'll be beaten the hell out of the fed saying, low, cut these interest rates, he should be going up. >> problem >> so long, but he's i know i've talked a little bit more than i usually do, but biden has already done something incredible. they said he couldn't have a soft landing. they said there was either going to have high inflation or a recession. and we have neither the only way that miracle frankly matters to real

people though, is when food prices come down and housing come down and should focus on that >> yeah, i could not agree with that more or less than i'm not voting for donald trump because i think he's a threat to democracy. i think he'll take the country the wrong direction. i think he sides with authoritarians, but i recognize i have the privilege of being a one issue vote around that. most voters don't. they? they're living there too many americans living paycheck to paycheck, there are many americans who feel like they're not getting doing better off than the generation before that. and that's a reality. and i would also add one issue we've not really talked about tonight is abortion. i worry that democrats are betting too big on abortion being an animating issue. trump's going to find a way to moderate on it. and at the end of the day voters recognize biden's in the white house right now, and he cannot restore your reproductive rights. so you're not getting those back necessarily by voting for him. you're just supporting someone who happens to agree with you on the issue. i don't think you can bet the whole baby on abortion rights yeah, they are on the ballot. >> can i just say one thing i couldn't agree more with van if you're sitting around the kitchen table as i do, and

you're talking about democracy in the future of democracy, you probably aren't worried about how much you paid for that dinner that you put on your table and that speech on thursday should and i think his march tonight, frankly, should have focused on the future that people are going to live in their daily lives as going to say going to need, need someone like very powerful, maybe the cookie monster in the gallery thursday, saying >> thank you all, jake, thanks, erin, and we have a key race alert for you now. i want to go to boris sanchez because very important senate primary in the state of california, it's a jungle primary mean the top two vote-getters are the ones who will face off off whether the same party or not force yeah, precisely, jake, very important, very expensive senate primary in the golden state as well. one of the most expensive we've ever seen let's get a key race alert on where things stand. right now. >> congressman adam schiff has pulled into the lead. he stands 26,000 votes ahead of steve

barbie schiff, of course, well known for leading the two impeachment inquiries of the two impeachments, i should say, of former president donald trump. >> garvey >> of the most well-known republic in this race is of a former major league baseball star played for the dodgers and the padres going with a more moderate platform as you would expect them, a statewide race in california notably, garvey hasn't put a single ad up on the year. most of his ads have come from adam schiff as a matter of fact, who has been critical of him calling him way too conservative. that's part of where the money has been spent millions of dollars by shift to promote garvey in this race, partly because he's going up against two incumbent democrats as well in katie porter and barbara lee right now, porter and lee distant third and fourth place in this race. again, as you mentioned, jake, the top two vote-getters, your wind up on the general election ballot in november, still early those 17% of the vote in right now, adam schiff, sitting 78,000 votes ahead of second-place steve garvey,

jake. >> all right. let's go to nick watt and santa ana in orange county, california nick. you've been talking to voters all day. there you are. >> nic, you've been talking to voters all day. what do you been hearing >> okay. there's audios. audio is not working. audio is not working >> so let's, let's, let's head over to dana bash. we thought we'd worked out the kinks, but let's talk for a second about this incredibly interesting and. i'm sure katie porter and barbara lee fans would would call dvs strategy of adam schiff running in the senate in this jungle primary so whoever is the top two vote-getters, they face off and he boosted steve garvey. he boosted steve garvey by calling him a maga republican look in, calling him consume to conserve it for california, juicing, his name recognition, letting maga republicans and conservatives

in the state know about them. so they turned out for him because he thinks he will have an easier time schiff beating garvey than he would beat in katie porter in the general. >> and he's almost certainly right that he will have an easier time in the very blue state of california running against a republican. and yes, it is devious as one politician, we were talking to recently said, it's unfortunate, but it's politics and we've seen different versions of this in the past with democrats using their very big war chest and adam schiff has a huge war chest to try to sort of play games. on the other side. >> and when it comes to steve garvey, what republicans are worried about on a sort of broader level is that if more republicans, if it turns out that it's the two of them on the ballot in the fall that republicans they're not that many of california anymore, but enough of them will come out. and it could change the dynamic

and some of these really competitive house races that could change the majority in the house of representatives yeah. >> go ahead yes. >> it's potentially a huge thing because the house majority, as we all know, runs through california. i mean, that is one. it's kind of odd this year. i can't recall a time when the house majority, but as dependent on new york in california, i don't think there has been a time at least in the last couple of decades where that's been twisted. but i think that that is a worry there. so there's always a risk when democrats sort of engineer primaries and republicans have done it two of the unintended consequences and that could absolutely be one in central california in other places. >> other things at play here is that you have to pretty well-known incumbents in katie porter and barbara lee, who's careers are basically ending here barbara lee became well-known for her antiwar position. she ran on that in

this race. she wanted to be the sole black woman in the senate by running for this race. that's going to be i think a pretty significant loss for for the institution of the house and katie porter was a huge rising star and the democratic party, someone who really kind of connected with younger voters through basically going viral with all of her videos so this has been a pretty bruising primary for the democrats it's pitted actually quite a lot of popular democrats against one another. ultimately, it looks like adam schiff, it's pretty early in california is going to be super slow tonight and they have a lot of votes to count but you always super slow, always. but he's, he's trouncing that his democratic competition right now. so did he need to boost scurvy? maybe, but you could argue that he's he's doing pretty well. he's far and away ahead of katie porter, who's we're about 16%, right? >> yeah, it's a kick in the face to those wings of the democratic party. i mean, with

this primary system, you could have had a choice between two democrats and obviously adam schiff made a different choice, but it means that those people who were sort of the elizabeth warren wing that katie porter appealed to. barbara lee really representing, as he said, anti-war votes in a moment the party is struggling with ceasefire activists and you basically tell all those people to go home because the guy who fought against trump is the best option. i just think there are a lot of voters in the party who are not going to find that all that appealing in terms of direction of the party overall, he also had a lot of congressional firepower behind him though. i mean, he hadn't yet two pelosi on his side helping tip the scales. that was an immense thing and factor here he had a lot of congressional endorsements from the house. typically, you wouldn't always see that, but it clearly was a result of who democrats in the house at least thought was a better person to have there. and he was really well-known. he was a nightly presence on cable news when donald trump was in office and more so than barbara lake, katie porter, obviously newer

to the scene than both of them on capitol hill. and i don't know that her career is over. i mean, you heard time in the house. obviously, she's not going to be in the senate, but clearly she is someone if you read her book, she definitely is going to be someone who wants to have a very long political, i do think just one thought. as we were talking here, that we talked a lot about the kind of shifts in the republican party, but it almost feels like this race represents for the democratic party a similar kind of divide. it's sort of like adam schiff basically became famous by taking on trump and then in both katie porter and barbara lee you have two different elements of the democratic tent. you, katie porter is someone who focused a lot on kitchen table economic issues barbara lee, represented the sort of left wing anti-war movement. both of those kind of pushed to the corners. yeah. >> in this particular moment when trump is the main focus and the thing that energizes

the democratic base maybe brings in the most money as a fundraiser. adam schiff, able to do that pretty effectively when the switch gears because we have joining us, doug burgum, who who is the governor of north dakota. thank you so much for being here. we appreciate it >> let's start with your thoughts on what happened this evening obviously, donald trump has had huge victory is everywhere except for one state in vermont, but he is well ahead in the delegate count is it your sense as somebody who was a competitor of donald trump's that nikki haley is looking for for an exit ramp at this point >> dana great to be with you and everybody on the panel tonight but yeah the primary race is over right now and the general election starts immediately starts tomorrow morning. and i think that what you're seeing in the victory is that donald trump is racking up today. is that there's a high amount of energy for donald trump and people are

concerned about some of these issues you've talked about, whether it's inflation, the border, the world being at war, but there's a lot of support for donald trump right now and everybody's getting everybody in the republican party that i know is looking to. let's get united and let's get focused on the general election governor. >> you obviously are someone who has been rumored to be on donald trump's shortlist for vice presidential options. once he does, as he appears like he's on track to become the republican nominee just yesterday, he was talking about how he thought you would be great at that job if you took it. i'm just curious. if you were trump's vice president on january 6, would you have done what mike pence did? >> well, i think that all the speculation about who's going to be in the cabinet, who's going to be vice president? it is just a distraction from what asked to happen, which is the party's got to focus on donald trump winning in november. i

mean, he's got an app so many people that want to serve in this administration that he's going to be able to pick the people of his chosen and choosing at the time that makes sense for him. and i think republicans need to stay focused. >> i understand that, but, but you are on the shortlist. your name that i hear from sources? so that they talk about. do you think that mike pence did the right thing that day >> well, i don't know if i'm on the shortlist or not, but i do know that what this election is going to be about. it's gonna be about the things that matter to americans. and when you've got our economy right now, that's been juiced by the trillions of dollars are spent i mean, the actual economic growth of the actual economy of the goods economy is flat. i mean, the reason why we're seeing economic growth is because of what the federal government is spending. and i think americans are feeling it in what they're paying for their food, what they're paying for their price at the pump and they know that this is not sustainable and they see the wars breaking out all over the world because the weakness of the biden administration and

then the border in 2016, the border was about immigration. now the border is about national security and it's about public safety. and that's a huge change in sentiment compared to what we were eight years ago. and these are the issues that the general election is going to focus on. >> thank you so much it, governor, we really appreciate your time on this big big political night. thank you. we now want to go to another governor who had a contest in his state tonight, the government or of minnesota, tim walz. thank you so much for being here my question for you is looking at the president did tonight, let's just start with what happened in your state given who else was running. there was a congressman or is it congressman from your state running? dean phillips talk about the dynamic of how the democratic electorate showed up for joe biden versus any kind of traction for somebody within the democratic party to

challenge him? >> yeah. >> well, thanks for having me. can we all just acknowledge that your previous guests would not answer the question about certifying the legitimate election look, that is really at the heart of this joe biden won tonight. we knew months ago this can be a binary choice between decency, protection of democracy, protection of reproductive freedoms, and the absolute chaos you see of a trump administration and having a governor on and being asked a very simple question about constitutional responsibility and pivoting to some nonsense here in minnesota, we're abroad party. i've been through this, we know that there's folks expressing their opinion. we're not but even democrats were democrat farmer labor party and so i'm really pleased with the way the president did. we're going to work hard for him here. we know that the path to the white house leads through the great lakes states. and joe biden a win in november governor, it's abby phillip. thanks for being here with us tonight. i want to ask you as we're seeing these votes rolling in from your state,

we're seeing a fairly sizable about 40,000 votes right now, 20% of the vote going to uncommitted and we've seen that already in this primary in michigan, what message are voters in your state trying to send to president biden? and what do you want to see president biden do in response? >> yeah. look, they're engaged. we're really proud minnesota civic responsibility has some of the highest voter turnout. so these are voters that are deeply concerned as we all are the situation in gaza is intolerable. and i think trying to find a solution, a lasting two-state solution. certainly the president's move towards humanitarian aid and asking us to get to a cease fire that's what they're asking to be heard, and that's what they should be doing. we've gone through this before and we know that now we make sure we've got eight months. we start bringing these folks back in. we listen to what they're saying. that's a healthy thing, that's happening here, but i would note that the former president lost twice as many

votes here in minnesota to nikki haley. and i've seen some of these exit polls out of north carolina and others, 80% of folks said they're not voting for him. who voted for nikki haley will get these folks back. i think let's take them seriously. their message is clear that they think this is an intolerable situation and we can do more. and i think the president's hearing that governor >> thank you so much for joining us this evening. we appreciate it. good to see you thank you all. and a very winning super tuesday for donald trump and for president biden as well catapulting them both closer to their expected rematch in november, we're going to get reaction from voters in a crucial general election battleground state wisconsin, that's ahead. >> president biden's last state of the union before the 2024 election? with challenges at home and abroad, can he make the case for four more years in

well, it's the flavor. the future of soda is now in its called poppy >> king charles tomorrow on cnn and, we have a. key race alert for you now. and that really interesting california senate primary, it's a jungle primary, meaning everybody wrote runs on the same ticket, democrats, republicans, independents, and whoever the top two vote-getters are, those are the two that face off in november,

even if there both democrats and republicans, let's go to boris sanchez with that key race alert for jagan. this key race alert shows the trend moving in a very specific direction right now coming democratic congressman adam schiff sitting in a very strong position, nearly 37, just updated 37% of the vote in right now for adam schiff, 219 thousand votes ahead of the second place candidate in this top two primary, steve garvey, the republican. he has about 29.4% well above, well above third-place. katie porter, the incumbent democrat in the house of representatives. out we should point out, as you said, jake, this is a race top two, it looks as though it's trending in the direction that adam schiff and steve garvey are going to be on that general election ballot come november 40, 1% of the vote and so forth. in california, you can ignore the money in this race as well, jake, more than $70 spent on just the primary facet

standing stuff. let's go to kylie atwood now in charleston, south carolina. she's covering nikki haley's campaign. and kylie, we have projected, i think ten or 11 states 12 states for donald trump. though we are projecting of vermont for nikki haley. so that's 12 for trump, one for haley. we still have some outstanding. have you heard anything from the haley campaign? >> jake, we just heard from the nikki haley campaign responding tonight for the first time we've heard from them in a flower growers, i want to read to you what the spokeswoman is saying. quote, we're honored to have received the support of millions of americans across the country today including vermont, where nikki became first republican woman to win two presidential primary contests. and then she went on to say that unity is not achieved by simply claiming we're united today in state after state there remains a large block of the republican party voters who are expressing

deep concerns about donald trump that is not the unity or party needs for success addressing those voters concerns will make the republic look can party and america better clearly, not addressing head-on. what nikki haley plans to do with her campaign. she said heading into night, she wanted the results to be competitive by all measures. these results are not competitive. she did pick up some delegates thus far, but of course you only has 11 state thus far. and so we'll watch to see when we will next hear from nikki haley because as of right now, there are no plans for her to speak publicly. this evening. we'll watch to see if she does that tomorrow. jake. >> all right. kylie atwood in charleston, south carolina covering the haley campaign. obviously, we're all looking forward now with the results indicating that donald trump as well on his way to becoming the republican presidential nominee. so let's see how tonight's presidential primary results are playing with voters in a state that will be one of the handful that we'll be

really up for grabs in november. i'm specifically talking about wisconsin. gary tuchman is with voters in wales, wisconsin, which is outside of a walkie and gary, who are you with? and what are they thinking as this race moves forward? >> jake, we're with 11 politically active people here in the state of wisconsin, where in walkinshaw county, which is between milwaukee, the biggest city in the state. and madison, the state capital. the statement, by the way, wales is called wales because this village where we are was settled by people from wales in the mid 19th century or any of you welsh okay. we can move on then. but anyway, it's a beautiful town. i want to ask all of you, we have some biden supporters here are some trump supporters, some haley supporters at the election were today. how many of you will be voting for donald trump? 1234. how many of you will be voting for joe biden? 1234 is anybody

still ready to vote for nikki haley? 123. so it leads to my next question. do any of you think that nikki haley nikki haley still has a shot but you're still going to write her in if the election were held today, both you feel that way and you feel that way also you, dr. who would you vote for? i would vote for trump, would vote for trump. so let my people who are voting for donald trump raise your hand again for a second. i'll start with you because you said you're voting for trump. why why do you think of vote for donald trump? >> i would vote for him, just his strong stance and american patriotism. he's got the backbone that american needs desperately. so he has my vote and do not think joe biden as a patriot not certain. not certain. ok. what about you? why are you going to vote for donald trump? >> i think he's the man for the country right now. i don't like him personally but i know that you don't like what personal his personality. i can see past that towards like policy. so i think his policy is for economic growth i'm concerned about border security

and economic independence question we've been asking in poland in polling today, is he fit to be president if he's convicted of a felony? what do you think who's another one of our trump's supporters wants to answer the question, what do you think >> i do? >> and why do you that one bother you if he's convicted of a felony, been president, it would bother me, but it would bother me more to vote for biden and why is that? >> i just >> i think when the press is saying things about him in what i see too, that he's incapable of speaking that he probably has alzheimer's >> that that's speculation, but yes, he does make mistakes speaking to so does donald trump right? right >> that doesn't bother you though. >> it's not in the same way. okay. but are biden supporters raise your hand why joe biden? >> because i'm not worried that he's not going to leave office what does that mean? i think that trump may want to stay in the office or may make changes that precludes his leaving.

i'll leave at that. >> and regarding both of you who are saying that you're still you're going to write in nikki haley at this point because she doesn't have a chance to be president. why would you do that >> well i think like many in this country, i feel like we have to vote between the lesser of two bad choices. i mean, really bad choices and i just feel like i'm in my conscience well, i do think that president trump did some good things that i am very concerned about what a second term would mean. >> well, i want to thank you all for talking with me. we're going to talk to a little later this evening or early morning, depending on what time zone you're in. jake back to you >> all right. gary tuchman. thank you so much. appreciate it we're going to take a quick break and when we come back, we're going to ve more of the votes coming in from all

this evening. we've been paying a lot of attention to the california senate primary let's go to boris sanchez for the latest on that, boris yeah, jake cnn making an important projection and that california's senate primary, we're projecting that democrat adam schiff will advance to the general election come november. remember, california is a top two primary state meeting. the top two vote-getters in the race, wind up on that general election ballot. so we're projecting that adam schiff will be there, come november 5. the race for second place right now is on republican steve garvey leading the way there. he's got almost 29% of the vote in a substantial lead over third-place incumbent congresswoman katie porter. of this is going to be a tough race garvey is running a more moderate platform as you would expect for a republican and a statewide race in california, he's promised to protect reproductive rights. he's also promised to push for programs for the unhoused. meantime, puerto made a name for herself, grilling financial executives

during hearings on capitol hill. she's been endorsed by senator elizabeth warren but right now, she is trailing substantially in third place, 42% of the vote. and so far, and the golden state, jake, >> very interesting, boris sanchez, thanks so much. well, let's take a look at the golden state, whatever you can show us, john king adam schiff. we have projected. >> he >> will advance this to remind people it's a jungle primary, meaning all the candidates are on the same ballot. if you're a registered voter, you can go in there and whoever the top two vote-getters are, they will square off even if they're both democrats are both republic what comes at the california republican party has had, i'm going to say a decade, it's more than a decade of struggles to field candidates. so you see their candidate at number two. well, we haven't projected the number two yet. the number one will be him. you're going to have a very angry katie porter barbara lee, these are two house democrats who forgive me. the math, just let me see that when you catch your sleeve on the map, you can make world is over, make the whole country, then sleeve on the map. there you go. but adam schiff is going to advance and it sure

looks like we got to have the votes still to count a little more than that. but it's sure it looks like the way it's played out early anyway, that steve garvey, the former dodger for a project, will advance as well as everyone has been noting, adam schiff helped engineer this by spending a boatload of money promoting him. so his fellow house democrats will not be thrilled with that. they'll find it cynical. >> but look just let's walk, let's start at the southern part of the state. we can go down in san diego, you see the republican more republican areas of the state by, you see garvey is actually winning and ships coming in second. but then all the way up the coast, obviously the number one basket of votes is los angeles county, the biggest population center that's where he's that's where he's in the state, yes. and so he's getting 42% there and then you just march up the coast, right? we're up the venture or highway. here we go. right? thing in eagle song for me, we can do something up through santa barbara adam schiff is just running his blue all the way up the coast, right? and so what do you see happening there? >> it's very blue state joe biden beat donald trump there by 5 million votes in 2020. so the democratic nominee for senate has a pretty optimistic

chance to be a full-time senator from the state of california. and adam schiff has helped with, again, smart politics. democrats won't like it, but just look at it. the question is, is there any way any republican great name id? it's kinda be competitive in california. the odds are against that highly. so adam schiff and winning tonight puts himself on a path to be a united states senator, replace the legendary diane feinstein? >> yeah, adam schiff boosting steve garvey in his ads because he was more worried about defeating katie porter in the general than he is about steve garvey. and as people out there might remember, when our vice president kamala harris was running for senate. she was in a jungle primary and she was from northern california fiscal area, right? and she was an attorney the attorney general, running against the a congresswoman from southern california and it was a competitive race. david chalian, you have more on the delegate front

>> that's right, jake, as we count more four of these votes, we are able to allocate more delegates on this super tuesday. look at where we are tonight so far. remember, 865 delegates at stake tonight, donald trump has been awarded 617 of them. nikki haley, only 23 of them, just a dominant night for donald trump. >> take look at what that means. we're donald trump stands to date in the delegate race. remember, up there on the right-hand corner, it's 1,215 delegates needed to secure here are the nomination. donald trump sits at 800 delegates, 893. nikki haley at 66. >> boy as donald john trump just stretched his delegate lead on this biggest night of available delegates. take a look at what this means for donald trump's amassing of delegates to date, he's got about 92% of all the delegates awarded compared to nikki haley's 6.8%. that is not even

a close contest in the thing that matters most for winning mean the nomination. so what does donald trump need of the remaining delegates he's down to 22.1%. that green highlighted number there. that's all means of the remaining delegate haley, she needs 78.8% of the remaining delegates. a monumental task for somebody who's clearly not winning that many contests, jake. >> all right. david chalian, thanks so much. cnn super tuesday coverage continues after this break. we'll be right back >> special live coverage of the state of the union address thursday at eight on cnn >> if you have this, consider adding this an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from
