2024. breaking news. haley's exit. the republican presidential hopeful decides it's time to drop out. >> i'm filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of support we've received from all across our great country. but the time has now come to suspend my campaign. >> a biden/trump rematch now all but assured. how the general election is already storing up. historic fine. a university is fined $14 million. what the decision could mean for other schools nationwide. tough talk. the conversation no parent wants to have with their teens, the dangers of drugs. tips for how to start that discussion but the one item every family should have at home. and fashionaby late?
12:02 pm
the late credit card fees. no shortage of stories to get to, but we'll begin this hour with breaking news the race to the white house. nikki haley has suspended her campaign per the presidency and former president donald trump is now the resumption republican nomination. haley won only one state last night, vermont. president biden won all but one of the democratic races, he was defeated by an obscure candidate in the territory america samoa. haley during her remarks she didn't endorse former president trump for president in 2024. haley said even though she's out of the race she's going to keep fighting for those who supported her. >> i said i wanted americans to have their voices heard. i have done that. i have no regrets. although i will no longer be a candidate, i will not stop using my voice for the things i
12:03 pm
believe in. >> covering it all and leading us off shaquille brewster in south carolina and vaughn hillyard with former president trump in florida. shaq, let's start with you, there had been so much discussion about if or when haley would drop out, what did she say about the why, why is she stepping aside right now. >> reporter: there seemed to be an understanding of the reality especially on super tuesday where she lost all states with the exception of the one. you look at the map going forward, many of those states being winner take all states, in this primary she barely was able to get over a majority of states to have their contests up to this point. but one thing you continue to hear from nikki haley is that donald trump is in trouble, because he as a significant portion of the republican party willing to support someone else and to that point, she said it's
12:04 pm
now up to him to work to get those voters back. >> it's now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. and i hope he does that. at its best politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. and our conservative cause badly needs more people. this is now his time for choosing. >> reporter: now, haley did say she'll continue to be a voice in this country, bringing up some issues important to her from the national debt to foreign policy, around the world. >> shaq, thank you. vaughn, a pretty resounding message last night from republican voters, trump is their man, what are we hearing from president trump and the campaign today? >> reporter: right, the republican electorate around the country has now spoken and donald trump made it clear that
12:05 pm
this is the republican party that he feels has vindicated him not only in the face of criminal trials but also his own company, having been found to engaged repeatedly in financial fraud and all that aside the overwhelming selected him to be their nominee and today, donald trump a social media post calling attention to his big wins over nikki haley using all caps trounced to describe his victory over her. as part of this the question is, to what extent do some of the hesitant republicans including the likes of mitch mcconnell stand by donald trump with eight months to the general election, mitch mcconnell endorsing donald trump and the likes of doug bacon, a nebraska who was
12:06 pm
resonate to donald trump also endorsing him. >> shaquille brewster and vaughn hillyard reporting for us for more analysis on last night's results let's bring in chuck todd. so, chuck, nikki haley out of the race, she didn't endorse former president donald trump. we didn't expect her to, that said in her remarks she said trump should work to earn her votes in essence, she had the independent coalition, where do her supporters go from here in. >> well, i think the question is how many of her supporters are actually persuadable. more everyday particularly the super tuesday haley supporters are people probably voted biden in '20. they never voted for trump.
12:07 pm
i'm not convinced, and there's some evidence in the exit polling. i think the republicans and republican-leaning people with her are going to end up voting for trump. bernie sanders' supporters swore they weren't going to support hillary clinton, 98% did. she's right, donald trump needs her slice of the republican electorate. this slice that she was appealing to, this sort of suburban, sort of right-leaning, sort of business-friendly, maybe socially liberal, but business-friendly voters. i don't know trump appeals. his base doesn't want that. he said i'm getting rid of the mitt romneys. i think she's right he needs to be -- he's shown no surrender. i think it puts her in a position never to support him. >> so now we're looking at a biden/trump rematch for 2024. what makes this different and how should the biden campaign be navigating this, because he didn't actually sweep all of the races last night.
12:08 pm
the state of minnesota -- 19%. he didn't do it that well. >> look, i will point out in minnesota and michigan the lion share of protest votes in muslim american population. ilhan omar's district. and talib's district in michigan. he needs to hear those protests. the worst thing is to dismiss it, but i don't think it's catastrophic to his coalition. this is one of the positions if he were on the other side he might have even more people protesting. there's no middle ground here. for some voters on it. but, i think it's one of those issues that he needs to work on making this not a relevant to americans come this fall.
12:09 pm
if this is a front and center issue that 19% could become problematic. right now it's sort of one of those -- it's a yellow flag. pay attention. >> not catastrophic but notable. >> right. especially when you need 10,000 votes in michigan. michigan's not exactly a state that biden has put away. they have to be mindful. >> every vote counts. chuck todd, thank you so much. the georgia district attorney overseeing the trump election interference case is back in spotlight today. the committee is investigating whether willis misused public funds when she hired a prosecutor who she later admitted she had a relationship with. a judge is expected to decide soon if willis be disqualified from the case because of that relationship. blayne alexander is in atlanta for us.
12:10 pm
first, what's the significance of these committee hearings and also i know we just heard from willis herself, what is she saying now? >> reporter: let me start right there, this is new within the last hour or so, very busy day at the georgia state capital, the hearing on the fourth floor. after she came to qualify she spoke briefly with reporters and she had words about the committee hearing today. >> i think it's a political quest, i think people are angry because i'm going to do the right thing and i'm going the stand up for justice no matter who's the person may have done wrong in fulton county, they can continue on with their day. i'll continue the work for the people. >> reporter: so that was kind of a defiant tone we heard from fulton county d.a. to set the scene about this committee, this is led by
12:11 pm
republicans, republican-led committee that's basically investigating whether or not there was improper use of state funds and whether there was the misuse of power for personal gains. ashley merchant -- if you have been watching the testimony, then you know she's the person who's been leading the effort to get her removed. she didn't watch much of the hearing. but notably, when asked if she would appear she said she would talk with her lawyer about that if that does become the case. >> blayne alex ander in atlanta for us, thanks so much. time now for today's money minute. how about a hot dog with no meat? steve joins us now. roku users across the country are locked out of their devices unless they can consent to new terms, received a message on their devices that they must

12:16 pm
face up to 50 years in prison. maura barrett is following this one for us. disturbing to say the least. this incident actually happened last year, the father just turned himself in last week. what do we know about this sleepover? >> reporter: incredibly disturbing. we're learning a lot from affidavit for probable cause. it was filed after this happened. the girl in questions were brought to the hospital and tested positive for a sedative, a controlled substance. basically what we're learning from the affidavit from the girls' report, the father in question had made them smoothies during their sleepover spa night. he made them smoothies but was very specific of who could drink what and how much. one of the girls only had a little bit while the other three were, they say were forced into drinking the rest. the first girl who didn't drink the entire smoothie reported seeing the father hoefer around
12:17 pm
them while they were sleeping and she was pretending to sleep down in the basement. and the other girls reported experiencing blacking out, off balance for 12 hours after the fact and so a lot of questions, lot of knee-jerk concerns about all of this. but luckily the one girl who was faking sleeping was able to send a text to her parents that night and asked in panicked way, can you please come get me? a family emergency. sent a crying emoji. her parents were able to come and get her an notify the other parents of the other girls and that's when they were taken to the hospital. so, again, a very disturbing, shocking turn of events. >> maura, what is this man saying a about all this in. >> reporter: we haven't heard from the father. his lawyer saying nothing is

ruled out yet, bringing up the case wasn't brought before a grand juror lawyers present. that it was done in secrecy and reserve judgment until the facts are laid out. he was indicted on nine counts. we'll have to see how this all plays out in court going forward. >> maura, thanks so much. there's new change to credit card late fees which could save you hundreds. you miss a payment deadline you get hit with a late fee. the white house is out with new rule limiting just how much those companies can charge for. christine romans has the details. >> reporter: the administration touting a new rule that will cap credit card late fees to just $8
