7:06 am
almost everything went right for donald trump. this was a blowout. we talked about closing the gap and he went from 11 points in new hampshire to more than 20 in the final tally in south carolina. a couple of counties, only 3 out of 46 carried by nikki haley even though she was governor of that state. one of the key ones, her home county of charleston, where there's more liberal and a little bit of more of a retirement community down there, this is the one congressional district she carried. that's how she ends up with 3 delegates. that's 3 of 50 delegates across the state, and this was a blowout by donald trump and a major statement by voters in her home state. >> whit: and what stands out to you? >> a couple of things to focus on. first, the issue that donald trump has with independent voters remains real. look at this. 70% of republicans said that they voted for donald trump. remember in south carolina, independents and even democrats were allowed to vote, but among independents, it was 60/29 in the other direction. that's nikki haley dominating
7:07 am
among independents. for a republican primary, trump is dominant. when you look at the general election, you might see some issues. now the key question that nikki haley put to voters was one of electability, and it frankly fell flat. we asked people if they thought donald trump or nikki haley were able to beat joe biden. 82% say it's likely that donald trump beats biden. that's only 59% when it comes to nikki haley, and given all the legal issues that donald trump is facing, we asked in the exit polls, if donald trump would be qualified, would be fit to serve if he was convicted of a crime. 61% of republicans said yes, but 36% saying no is actually a significant number. that makes nikki haley's point. that's more than a third of republican voters that say donald trump would not be fit to be president if he was convicted of a crime. >> whit: and nikki haley saying she's staying in the race. how difficult is her path forward now? >> it's really hard. there's a lot of voting to come, but we are in a national
7:08 am
campaign right now, and after michigan on tuesday, a week later is super tuesday. look at all these states from california to maine, a whole lot of delegates at stake, but here's the thing, whit. when it comes to places where nikki haley could actually be competitive, there's only about seven states where she could pick up delegates realistically speaking. the rules are written in a way that makes it very hard and difficult to catch up. she's going to be hitting places like texas, north carolina. not to win the state. that's probably not going to happen, but maybe just to pick up a few delegates here or there, and the brutal math is tied to this calendar. right now we're still pretty early, but as of march 5th, super tuesday, almost half of all the delegates are selected and by that point, it would be almost impossible for anyone to catch donald trump. nikki haley at a diminished place in terms of trying to catch up. she's really there as a backup plan, whit. >> whit: you had a late night and early morning with us. tune into "this week" later on this morning. martha raddatz will have much more on the presidential race.
7:09 am
plus, martha speaks exclusively with senator tammy duckworth of illinois about the democrats' fight to safeguard reproductive rights and gets the latest from white house national security adviser jake sullivan as the war in ukraine enters its third year. gio? >> gio: all right, whit. now to new u.s. air strikes in the middle east. they're saying houthi targets were hit overnight by u.s. and allied forces. abc's maryalice parks is following the developments right now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is the fourth round of these strikes, but houthi rebels in yemen so far have only escalated their attacks, fueling fears of a wider war and begging the question, what are these strikes accomplishing? overnight, the u.s. and uk launching yet another round of punishing strikes on iran-backed rebels in yemen. the pentagon saying warships and fighter jets hit 18 targets including underground weapons storage facilities, attack drones, radars, and a helicopter.
7:10 am
defense secretary lloyd austin saying in a statement, the u.s. will not hesitate to take action to defend lives and the free flow of commerce. for months now, the houthi rebels armed by iran, had been targeting ships in the red sea, causing disruption to one of the most critical trade routes. the u.s. and allies launched the first wave of these strikes to try to halt these attacks. this latest round overnight, now the fourth, but the houthis show no signs of stopping. instead, vowing to escalate their attacks which they say are in protest of israel's war in gaza with u.s. support. among the dozen of houthi attacks now, one of their missiles successfully hit a british vessel carrying fertilizer this week, leaving that ship taking on water and creating an 18-mile-long oil slick. >> the houthis are creating an environmental hazard right in their own backyard. >> reporter: in addition to these major strikes, last month
7:11 am
the u.s. was exchanging fire with the houthis almost every day, taking down incoming rockets and weapons prepared to launch. the white house has acknowledged that these attacks have kept coming, but they have vowed to keep up the pressure until they stop. janai? >> janai: we have continued to follow that, and we will continue to do so. maryalice, thank you. staying overseas now to israel, and possible movement toward a ceasefire in gaza. abc's marcus moore joins us live from tel aviv with the latest on where negotiations stand. marcus, good morning to you. there is some headway being made. >> reporter: yeah, janai. good morning. we've learned more about just how much progress negotiators have been able to make, and there's certainly a long way to go, but by all accounts things are moving. according to israeli government sources, israeli mediators have agreed to a six-week cease-fire in gaza as well as the release of 40 hostages including the women, elderly, injured and sick. no male soldiers or bodies of the dead. now in exchange, israel would
7:12 am
release several hundred palestinian prisoners, perhaps as many as 300 to 400 according to a source. israel would also redeploy its troops, but would not withdraw them from gaza. this comes as israel prepares a push into the southern city of rafah. it says in an effort to eliminate hamas, and there's growing concern for the 1.4 million palestinians there, including more than a million who have come from other parts of gaza forced from their homes by the fighting. hamas officials have not responded directly to whether they have seen the new proposals, but they have continually said that hamas would only release the hostages when israel stops its bombardment and withdraws from gaza. there are talks in qatar, but hopefully there can be a deal before ramadan which is less than three weeks away. whit? >> whit: marcus moore, thank you. now to the war in ukraine. g7 leaders meeting in kyiv as ukraine fights on two years after the russian invasion. president biden joining the meeting via video conference,
7:13 am
and abc's ike ejiochi is joining us now from capitol hill where an american aid package remains stalled in congress. ike, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. on the heels of announcing the largest tranche of sanctions against russia since they began their full-scale invasion of ukraine two years ago, president biden virtually meeting with allies to make sure support for ukraine continues. now the leaders calling on russia to end its war of aggression and withdraw their troops from the battlefield. the group promising to raise the cost of this war for russia by committing to enforce recent sanctions. on friday, president biden announcing 500 new sanctions against russia targeting its war machine. moving forward, the leaders say additional sanctions will be levied against companies and people who helped russia acquire and build weapons. the group releasing a statement saying, as ukraine enters its third year of this relentless war, its government and its people can count on the g7 support for as long as it takes. this comes as a stand-alone $60 billion aid package for ukraine, israel, and taiwan requested by joe biden, and passed by the
7:14 am
senate, but it's in limbo as some house republicans loyal to former president donald trump refuse to pass any kind of aid. gio? >> gio: thank you so much. here at home, testimony is set to continue in the trial of the armorer involved in that deadly shooting on the set of the movie "rust." hannah gutierrez-reed is charged with involuntary manslaughter. she has pleaded not guilty. alec baldwin who fired that fatal shot is charged with involuntary manslaughter in a separate case, janai. >> janai: now to your home state of florida and that measles outbreak in schools. this as the state defies cdc guidelines on how to handle it. abc's reena roy is here with more. good morning. at this point, more than a half dozen kids infected? >> reporter: that's right, janai. good morning. measles was declared eliminated here in the u.s., but experts say we have been seeing these sporadic outbreaks over the years, partially because of a drop in routine childhood vaccinations.
7:15 am
this morning, measles cases on the rise in south florida. at manatee bay elementary in fort lauderdale, six students reportedly coming down with the virus and another just reported in the community by health officials. >> we have an outbreak in the school that's numbering less than ten, but the issue is the fact it's the first outbreak with the anticipation there will be multiple outbreaks. >> reporter: there's now growing concern with the elementary school's protocols as children without immunity are typically recommended to stay at home for 21 days after exposure, and receive the vaccine as soon as possible. on tuesday, the school's superintendent visiting manatee elementary to ease fears. >> it's safe. it's safe if your child is vaccinated. >> reporter: noting at a school board meeting the next day that 33 out of the more than 1,000 students are not vaccinated for measles. this after florida surgeon general sent a letter acknowledging the outbreak,
7:16 am
deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance, even if those children have not been vaccinated. nationwide the cdc reporting a total of 35 measles cases in 15 states. measles is highly contagious and spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. symptoms may include fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, and a rash of red spots. in rare cases, it can lead to pneumonia, encephalitis, or even death. >> we have had a decrease in the immunization rates in particular, post-covid, and we're seeing outbreaks at annually across the country. the measles outbreak in florida should be a clarion call to all parents to vaccinate their children. >> reporter: now some school officials in florida are offering free vaccination clinics amid this outbreak really just hoping to get those vaccination rates up across the area. whit? >> whit: reena roy, thank you. overnight a duke basketball star is the latest to be injured after fans stormed the court at
