can say, time and again, the border is secure, you kept hearing him say and they can say that we have done everything we can do. i don't think people believe that and, you know, it will be interesting to hear how he presents that issue. also, of course, obviously, bret, ukraine and israel it will be interesting to see how much devotes to foreign policy. how strong he is compared to where he has been on israel. as well as on ukraine. >> bret: i want to play a soundbite about entitlements back in 2023. another give and take with the republicans there. >> some republicans want medicare and social security to sun set. i'm not saying it's a majority.

delegates. maybe not win the state, necessarily. i went back 8 years ago to super tuesday, just to try to get a fix as to where we were then, you know, not just as a nation but where the republican party was. donald trump won 283 delegates that night. keep in mind california was in june. california is tonight now. and ted cruz won 245, a difference of 38. a pretty close race here, right? and earlier today on "fox & friends," he was talking about going 15 for 15 tonight. i'm not saying that's going to happen, but he was mentioning that earlier today. you put all that together, and he has won the republican party. and he will be the republican nominee. the question is whether it happens next tuesday or the week after. >> bret: yeah, to that point, here's the former president this morning talking about his competitor. >> there's no path for her to win. whether she likes hearing that or not, there's no path for her to win. no matter what. there is no path. what's she doing? other than hurting -- other than

hurting the republican party. >> bret: so one of the story lines tonight, martha, is how he talks about her, how he talks about her supporters, and how that unity message comes across from the former president. >> absolutely. and we have heard different versions of how he speaks about her. he clearly wants her to shut down her campaign, right? and he is hoping that he will make a definitive argument tonight for her to do it. and she might. weave know that she is not planning to make a speech tonight, which is unusual. every other night for these primaries she has come out and said she is going to keep going. so, tonight is an evaluation period for nikki haley. maybe we'll hear from her tomorrow. she is at home in charleston, south carolina right now. so we'll see what she says. clearly trump wants to et shut her down at this point. and whether or not she goes away is a big question. but, how will he speak about her? will it be bird brain? will it be attacking the dress that she is wearing? i'm guessing that he will want to start to pull over some of her voters and he may -- we may

see more gentleman version that you and i saw in iowa at the town hall. maybe looking at the general election he will focus more in that way. >> bret: other side, axios, harold, biden's new strategy go for trump's jug jugular. will explode if biden mercilessly gigs and gods him. godz him. instead of focusing jobs polls suggest americans aren't giving biden much credit. biden would be making the contest as much about trump as his own accomplishments. isn't be that dangerous road to go down? >> harold: maybe. you had in your lead-in, you interviewed some people, several of them said they wished that neither of these guys were the choices that the country was going to be confronted with. if you see that kind of polling

in either campaign. you go for the jugular, i wish we could get back to campaigns you tried to understand the fears and concerns of americans. try to provide inspired leadership and in the process you may to after the jugular every once in a while the campaign was bigger than that i will be looking to see what martha and bill said in your lead-in about the speech. does the speech not only try to go after nikki haley, but how do you begin to speak to the country? how do you begin to speak to those independents? we have to remember the last two elections where people voted, democrats did pretty well. they didn't lose as bad in '22. they held onto the senate. >> bret: are you surprised by the polls now? these recent polls, the string of them has really been quite something to watch. >> harold: this race the country is divided. about a million voters six or seven states give or take 600,000 that independents have decided. i'm not surprised by the polling to answer your question. what i will be surprised tonight is if president trump -- i will be looking for it.

i don't want to try to take out my surprise element now. i will be looking to see if he speaks to the country. if he is still just speaking to republicans that support him it bodiebodes well for the other s. you can't be critical of your party 30 to 40% of states and want to bring party together. we heard him be magnanimous. how is he magnanimous to her but the country. if i'm a democrat from a political standpoint you are more concerned. as a red blooded american it gives me some comfort that these guys want to lead not only their party and not only the people that support them but those of us in this country who believe we need a leader and need our fears and concerns addressed. >> bret: polls, snapshots in time. they are not votes. "the des moines register" in iowa today, relevant respected -- wellrespected poll has trum5 points on joe biden. that's exponentially what it was just at the iowa caucuses.

>> bill: that used to be a swick state, right, if those numbers are correct and the poll that you point out has a lot of credibility. harold, to your point, about the split, you know we had our own numbers that came out on monday morning. i think there is a bit of a rumble across the world sunday morning "new york times" came out with the numbers about joe biden. there was one line in there that i brought up repeatedly and i don't get it. but, if this is true, harold, mr. biden is winning only 83% of his voters from 2020 with 10% saying they now back mr. trump. the way i read that, if that's true and they were voting tomorrow, this election would be over, period. >> bret: i do think that's what we are seeing in the polls which is why you hear all this clamoring on the democratic side, martha, is there going to be another shoe that drops? is there going to be another candidate? now we have heard from michelle obama's office that she is squashing any talk of a white house bid. quote: she will not be running for president.

they are saying she is supporting president biden and vice president kamala harris. >> it's interesting. when you look back among the obama camp david axelrod, comments come from people close to him that they are concerned about whether or not joe biden can close the deal a second time, whether or not they can come up with another candidate, it certainly looks like this is going to be biden vs. trump. that is absolutely what it feels like right now. but we're nine months out. and there are a lot of things that can happen between now and then in this 80-year-old and 77-year-old candidates. not to mention these legal challenges that president trump faces. but tonight as we sit here. he absolutely is dominant in terms of securing the g.o.p. nomination. a lot of questions as we saw in those polls about president biden. >> bret: breaking news today. the arizona democrat turned independent, kyrsten sinema says she is not running for re-election at the end of the year, which leaves kari lake and reuben geauga go for that battle for senate in arizona.

rick wilson predicts no labels will choose sinema to be their nominee is what he puts on x tonight. thoughts about kyrsten sinema. >> harold: i like kyrsten sinema she did it from the middle, the place where the strength is in politics. i'm hopeful she finds her way back into politics somehow. i don't know if it will be through no labels we will see what happens. to your point the reason i think democrats and joe biden thinks he has to go for the jugular in the way that bret led in is because he hasn't been able to consolidate his base yet. if he is able to tell the base this is the guy, the bad guy, they may come back his way. >> bret: panel, we got a long night ahead. drink some coffee. >> bill: we shall. >> bret: thanks a lot. >> martha: see you in a bit. >> bret: okay, time for "tuesday xtras" but we are going to do that on the move this time because we are in a different studio here in new york. you've got a number of studios. i'm going to make my way to "studio m" for the special election coverage for super tuesday tonight. so, as we walk, i'm going to do
