hello and welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states, around the world and streaming us on cnn next, i am rosemary church. just ahead, nikki haley gets the two-person race she wanted, after ron desantis drops out of the presidential race . donald trump picks up another endorsement ahead of the new hampshire primary. plus what went wrong in the campaign that once held so much promise. ♪ ♪ >> can you hear that sound. >> [ cheering ] >> that is the sound of a 2 person race. >> [ cheering ] >> with just over day to go

before the primary, a major shakeup in the u.s. presidential race leaves donald trump and nikki haley is the last major gop candidate still standing. on sunday florida governor ron desantis announced he is dropping of the race for the white house, and throwing his support behind the former president. >> a record of living with conviction in an agenda marked by both colors, and responsible for the nation's decline, that's the kind of relationship we need. he is superior to joe biden, that is clear, i signed a pledge to support the republican nominee and i will honor that pledge. he gets my endorsement because we can't go back to the old republican guard of yesteryear, the warmed over corporatism that nikki haley represents. the days of putting americans last and kowtowing to large

corporations and caving to ideology are over. >> so far there are no plans for trump and ron desantis to campaign together before new hampshire's primary but the trump campaign is already fundraising off of this new endorsement. a new joint poll from cnn and the university of new hampshire shows donald trump widening his lead over nikki haley, when asked to they would support in a 2 candidate race, 54% of likely republican voters chose trump, with 41% choosing nikki haley. the poll was conducted days before ron desantis dropped out, reflecting the second choice of those backing him. more on how the surprise announcement will affect the new hampshire primary. >> just hours after that, and hours after he suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed the former president trump came out on stage in rochester in rochester and

congratulated for running what he called a great campaign, he said he was being gracious for giving him his endorsement, take a listen. >> i would like to take time to congratulate ron desantis. and a really terrific person. gotten to know his wife casey for running the campaign for president. he ran a really good campaign. it's not easy doing the stuff>> he left the campaign trail and in so doing he was very gracious and he endorsed me, so i appreciate it. >> [ cheering ] >> i appreciate that, and i also look forward to working with ron and everybody else to defeat crooked joe biden. >> what a difference a few hours make a complete 180 from

the type of rhetoric we her donald trump use, just this weekend in manchester new hampshire, criticizing ron desantis, and i want to note, preferring the florida governor desperate referring to him by his real name instead of the nickname which was run the sanctimonious. one thing we should be watching for is whether or not this endorsement and changing things the might of donald trump given the language weaver to muse on sunday but over the past year now, he has viciously got after ron desantis. and the light of the iowa caucuses. and part of that was because the caucus was worried as ron desantis's arrival, but also because it was personal, donald trump very much leaves that ron desantis was being disloyal after trump had endorsed him for florida governor in 2017

and that's where a lot of the attacks stem from, according to donald trump's advisors. the question now is, will his endorsement change the game? will we see ron desantis become a potential surrogate for the campaign? from our conversation with trump's team, there are no plans for him to show up on the trail with them but that could change in the coming weeks. rochester, new hampshire. in the meantime, nikki haley is using the moment to try to win over ron desantis supporters, breaking down the strategy heading into the pivotal event. >> this news broke while nikki haley was at one of her many campaign stops at a clam shop, a lobster shack, she came out and said about ron desantis, he has really good campaign and been a good governor but now it is a two-person race between

her and former president trump, that's what they have been saying in new hampshire for a while because of how he was polling solo and not competing the state. now it is a reality. and she was to pitch to potential ron desantis voters, here she is with dana bash today. >> they love america and they want a new generational leader, telling them that i am that new generational leader, look at the fact that we can actually win. that is what the that's what -- that is what the supporters want, they don't want to lose. >> going to continue campaigning, was to do well in new hampshire, her campaign is saying that they think ron desantis support is going to be split between nikki haley and trump, and if it does go to trial it could go to him, in

new hampshire, it would be pretty substantial, trump is aiming for that, that could effectively mean he is the de facto nominee but nikki haley's team is still battling it out, they are doubting the polls that show her below and say there are polls that show her neck and neck with the former president so they are campaigning as hard as they can where the stakes could not be higher.>> political analyst, michael genovese, president of the policy institute at loyola marymount, the author of the modern presidency, six debates that defined the modern institution. great to have you with us. >> thank you for having me.>> in the wake of ron desantis announcing the end of his presidential campaign and endorsing donald trump it is now eight two person race, but is this the road to the end for nikki haley as well given donald trump's commanding lead

in new hampshire? because she still has a chance and you want to play it out, the point looks bad, trump is around 50% and she's around 40%, before ron desantis pulled out, many of the ron desantis voters will go to trump, if she wants to stay in the recent be credible she needs to get down to single digits and trump really needs to get over 50%. if she can't get to single digits, and the rationale for candidacy begins to disappear faster than a third grade science project. >> what went wrong for ron desantis after starting out so strong with his campaign? >> it appeared that he ron desantis candidadacy made since the first becacause we dididn't realize how strong trump remained of the party, but never got out of the starting gate, never got traction, he campaigned in a very flat wake up he offered himself as donald trump without the baggage, but it turned out that he was

donald trump without the personality, he had no real charisma. so he was offering himself as the -- maga candidate when you have a real maga candidate, why would you go for a pale imitation? ron desantis had no real chance. >> just a week ago he was criticizing trump, saying if you kiss the ring trump loves you but if you don't he will attack you and now with ron desantis endorsing trump he is kissing the rain essentially and trump has changed his tune from mocking him to calling him terrific and gracious, how will trump likely reward ron desantis, could he embrace them and use them as a surrogate? >> i think he will try that, for ron desantis it is clear that he was to keep his options open for the future. he doesn't want to be stuck with the loser label.

getting out early allows them to diststance himself and embracin trump allows it to be part of the mamaga victory lease for th dominationon. ideologically they are close together, it makes sense for him, till between legs, support donald trump. >> certainly if you look at the numbers, it seems that we are in for another trump invited match-up, something most voters have made clear they don't want to see happen again, how do you think this will likely go? >> these will be two of the least popular residential candidates on record. 2 very senior people, and one candidate, a lot of in popularity, donald trump and one who is very flat, this has the makings of one of the strangest and most disappointing presidential races in a long time.

the candidates are so unpopular and so unwelcome. >> could this end up being so close that we are going to have a repeat of what happened the last time? >> from 2000 on word we had some very close elections, 2020 was close enough where donald trump claimed victory, even if trump loses he will claim victory and probably cause more trouble, what you would like to have is a national consensus behind a presidential candidate behind the agenda, we don't have that, so deeply divided that we will have a close election and after the election it's going to be hard to take those wounds and heal them. >> michael genovese, always appreciate your analysis of perspective. >> thank you. still to come, despite growing pressure to get is really hostages released, benjamin netanyahu says he will not accept any hamas demands . as ron desantis drops out

of the race, president biden's campaign is preparing for r a possibible rematchch w with for presidenent donald t trump, the details s are just a ahead.

welcome back, everyone taute returning to our top story this hour, former south carolina governor nikki haley is now the last republican candidate standing against former president donald trump after florida governor ron desantis suspended his 2024 bid for the white house and endorsed trump. speaking in new hampshire on sunday, nikki haley welcomed the move and touted a two- person race. >> and i want to say to ron, he ran a great race, he's been a good governor, and we wish him well. having said that, it is no one fella and one lady left. >> [ cheering ] >> in the meantime with just over 24 hours to go until the new hampshire primary, both trump and nikki haley have been making their last pitch to voters as the latest cnn poll shows that trump has widened his lead in the state, however, speaking to cnn's dana bash,

nikki haley said she's confident she will win, lashing out at trump and ron desantis. >> when he dropped out part of what he said he remind everybody he signed a pledge to support the republican nominee and i will honor that pledge he has my endorsement because we can go to the old republican guard of yesteryear or a repackaged form of warmed over corporatism that nikki haley represents, that's tough stuff. >> it's interesting, there is no proof to that, these fellas say this because they want people to believe it, they think they can lie to the american people and the american people are going to believe it. prove one thing they have set up through the fact that donald trump says i want to cut social security or raise the age, i never said that, donald trump says i want to raise gas taxes, i've never said or done that. prove that ron desantis says i'm a corporate whatever, i've never done that, i was in south carolina, we fought for the

people every day. there's a reason you don't see the legislature leading up behind me in south carolina, i fought to get them to vote on the record and do ethics reform and vetoed half $1 billion worth of the report projects in congress, the reason congress doesn't support us is i pushed for term limits and mental competency test, if they don't give us the budget on time they don't get paid, that's what we need to be talking about, that the corporate stuff, the fact that they all side together against the people is what i'm doing, i'm going to continue to fight for the people. >> a major focus of the trump and nikki haley campaigns is border security. it the white house is a bipartisan group of senators is working on an immigration package for president biden seems optimistic that there might be a finalized version on his desk in the coming weeks. what is holding up the bill is the argument on whether aid ukraine is a necessary

component for successful legislation. jim jordan spoke to cnn. >> trump came out against you today, how hard would that be to get a cover by through congress? victor the leader of the party, the nominee and i think you'll be the next president, a huge difference. i think it is a nonstarter. >> prime minister benjamin netanyahu is out right rejecting a boss' demands for releasing the remaining hostages in gaza, he says hamas was the war to end and withdrawal of troops and palestinian prisoners released. >> let it be clear, i utterly reject the monsters capitulation terms. if we were to agree to this, our soldiers will have fallen vein, and we would not be able to ensure the security of our citizens. we would be unable to safely restore evacuees to their homes and the next october 7 would

only be a question of time. >> meanwhile families and friends of is really hostages held a rally near his home in jerusalem on sunday, again calling for their release. this comes as a report in the wall street journal says the u.s., egypt and qatar want israel to join a new phase of talks with hamas that would start with releasing hostages and leads to israeli forces withdrawing from gaza. clare sebastian joins us live from london. good morning. what more are you learning about these potential talks and how vulnerable is benjamin netanyahu right now as domestic sentiment turns against him for calls of a change? bigger he is verbal, he was vulnerable before october 7 and questions about security that led to it, the issue has been almost 2 months since that issue, with the hostage release combined with the humanitarian

truce and still no progress towards the one. now mounting calls with his own political survival ahead of the interests of the country. he is vulnerable and in terms of himself and his rhetoric, if anything he seems to be toughening his stance, not only of the talks with hamas and the truce in exchange but in terms of what the situation will look like after the war, his tweet on sunday said he would not compromise and full israeli security, control of all the territory west of jordan, and going on, he did go on to say that this is contrary to a palestinian state and politically risky desperate risky and stuff. with most of the international community. of that, the flipside, according to the report, according to officials, they are engaging in talks with hamas, but nowhere close to a

deal at this point. the broker countries, according to this report are pushing for something that could be bigger for what we sort the suspect saw the end of november, a longer pause and fighting, phased release, the remaining hostages, we are not there yet. and they are at least engaging in this. >> i tell you highlighting israel's growing isolation, with the view of a two state solution, what is been the international reaction so far? >> we would've come out, and stopped short of contemplation, the secretary-general called it but acceptable, speaking on sunday, they said it was disappointing but perhaps not surprising. what are the alternatives, and this morning, for the meeting with their israeli and palestinian counterparts from some arab countries, this was

the comment after joseph burrell advised that arrived at the meeting, take a listen. >> what are the other solutions they have in mind.>> if i am traveling there, 70% are women and children. certainly, the way of trying, is that the way they are doing, there are sealing their feet for generations. >> the humanitarian situation is -- in gaza is wrapping up, saying it frankly could not be worse. the biden administration is still more or less trying to thread the needle. sort of downplaying the disagreement that benjamin netanyahu has highlighted over the solution, saying they could be condensed, different types of two state solutions.

drawing potentially on the nuance on full security control, biden suggesting what option you're looking at is a demilitarized palestinian state. but it seems rosemary, it is deepening israel's isolation. >> the live report from london, many things . after a multi-day search, u.s. central command says 2 navy seals who went missing off of the somali coast are dead. lloyd austin released a statement other deaths, saying we mourn the loss of our two brave navy seals and our hearts are with their families. the entire department is united in sorrow today. we are grateful to all who work tirelessly to try to find and rescue them. they were boarding a vessel and searching for a radiant arms when one fell overd due to the rough conditions that seen in the other jumped in after him according to protocol. still to come, a win in the new hampshire primary is

critical to nikki haley's presidential bid, does she have the support to pull it off? we will take a look.

we are counting down the hours to the new hampshire primary, where former u.s. president donald trump is now in a 2 person race for the republican nomination. after florida governor ron desantis suspended his campaign for president on sunday. at one point he posed the greatest threat to trump at securing the republican nomination.>> if there was anything i could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops or interviews, i would do it. but i can't ask her supporters to volunteer their time and

donate the resources, we don't have a clear path to victory. accordingly i am today suspending my campaign. >> now the republican race is down to 2 main candidates, donald trump and former south carolina governor nikki haley. ron desantis has thrown his support behind trump, and trump says he's looking to working with the florida governor. meantime nikki haley is rallying support for the fight ahead. >> i want to say to ron, he ran a great race, he has been a good governor, and we wish him well. having said that, it is now one fella and one lady left. >> [ applause ] >> nikki haley says her campaign is the last best hope of stopping what she calls the trump and biden nightmare. pointing out ways in which she is critically different to both of them, her policies and her age. >> you got trump saying look at

all these congressional endorsements that i have. i don't want the political elite, that's not what i'm looking for. they honestly are not ready for me, why? i keep saying we need to have term limits in washington dc the.>> [ cheering ] [ applause ] i say we need to have mental competency tests for anyone over the age of 75.>> [ applause ] >> nikki haley is touting her age is a benefit, she is now the only u.s. presidential candidate under the age of 70 and she is questioning trump's mental fitness, something he scoffs at. >> cognitively kind of you saw, a few months ago, i took a cognitive test my doctor to get my visit give me that is you know what the standards are, and i aced it. nikki haley talks about we

don't need 80-year-olds, i don't mind being 80, 77, that's a big difference. >> trump taking a shot at president joe biden who is 81, and using his platform to mark mr. biden for his stature, which is a childhood speech impediment. the president has been open about working to overcome, trump using his bully pulpit to be a bully. >> when you make a speech, they last about three minutes, you know why click because he runs out of fuel. he runs out of fuel. the fuel does not last very long. >> in the meantime president joe biden's campaign is closely monitoring the republican contest as they inched closer to a possible one-on-one contest with former president donald trump, your details. >> reporter: ron desantis's decision to drop out of the republican contest did not come

too much of a surprise for president biden's campaign advisor but does bring them closer to a one-on-one contest with the former president donald trump and in their statement on sunday democrats did not really go after ron desantis much, they were much more focused on president trump, saying that ron desantis was the latest member of the republican party to fall in line behind the original maga brand. he had 10 the entire campaign hope on the same extreme back agenda, both donald trump and nikki haley are running on. at the end of the day president biden's team really do view trump as the most likely republican nominee. and pulls pair that out. and they have long since moved past ron desantis and his fellow candidates to the general election into this contest with president trump and they are very eager for this to become a one-on-one contest. they have internal research

that shows many undecided voters just don't believe that president trump will become the republican nominee and until that happens it is very hard for them to make this choice argument, this contrast argument when it comes to president biden, and they are very eager to do that. it's much harder to do when it is just president biden and a republican candidate in the abstract. i think it will be easier to get voters engaged and the argument for president biden, when it is president trump is the likely nominee. next week, you will see president biden and vice president harris wrapping up their campaign activity, appearing at the first joint appearance in northern virginia on tuesday trying to counter program the new hampshire primary. their focus there and over the next several days will be on reproductive rights, on abortion, the anniversary of the original roe versus wade supreme court decision, and what you will hear president

biden do is make the argument that president trump is as much responsible for the overturning of roe versus wade with his three nominations as anyone else and that's the argument that president trump has made himself on the campaign trail, president biden's team believe it is a galvanizing issue for voters and something that will help turn out voters come next year's election. cnn, traveling with president biden at rehoboth beach, delaware. >> i spoke with the director for the center politics at the university of virginia and asked him about the states for nikki haley going into tuesday's primary. he says it is unlikely she will overcome donald trump, which could spell trouble for her campaign>> if she loses on tuesday, it almost certainly marks the end of a run, she may continue through her home state of south carolina but i think she would be hesitant, she

would not want to lose her home state, that's difficult to explain to people. for all practical purposes, once ron desantis left and the other candidates were knocked out of the race, it was trump's to lose and to lose significantly and he's not going to lose it. >> thank you to larry for his analysis. donald trump is expected back in a new york city courtroom today, he is asking for a mistrial in the defamation case involving writer i ching carol, it is not clear if you will take the stand, the trial is to determine how much money he owes -- e. jean carroll. >> he is scheduled to hold a rally ahead of tuesday's primary. hundreds of thousands of people are turning out in cities across germany protesting for a second straight week against the country's major far right party. the demonstrations have gained

momentum after reports that schmidt reports first that senior members of the alternative for germany party have discussed a quote, master plan for the mass deportation of migrants, and even german citizens who originally came from other countries. many are comparing it to the not see era. -- nazi era. >> reporter: protesting against the rise of the far right, it ideology reminiscent of the country's darkest days. waving signs that say never again and nazi are disgusting, people rallied in cities across the country rally against the alternative for germany far right party and the anti- immigrant policies that many germans say are similar to the nazis. >> germany is undergoing a huge shift to the right, just like

before the second world war, i don't think it has been this bad since the war. >> it struck a nerve after it was revealed that senior party members attend a secret meeting last year of neo-nazis and other extremists and discussed plans for mass deportation of migrants, including germans such desperate citizens. they deny they are a racist or extremist group and deny that such plans are part of the policy, although calls to ban the party are growing. it has also recorded high polling in some states and expected to make gains in regional and perhaps regional elections this year, something that protesters say needs to change. >> i hope it will make people change their minds, so may not be sure whether they will vote for them or not, but after these demonstrations they simply cannot do that anymore. >> the german chancellor has encouraged people to join the

protests, saying extremism in the country is a threat to democracy and a throwback to a time of hatred and violence. >> if there is something in germany which must never find a place again, it is the national race ideology of the nazis. the plans by these extremists is just that. >> michael holmes, cnn. coming up next, a healthcare for yet another member of the royal family, with the duchess of york is facing when we come back.

another health concern for the british royal family, the duchess of york has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma according to the press association citing her spokesperson, and aggressive form of skin cancer which was discovered after several moles were removed when ferguson was

treated for breast cancer last june. jom london with the latest, what more are you learning about this latest royal health scare, this time the duchess of york recovering from skin cancer surgery. >> she was having the treatment of they found symbols and tested them and they turned out to be malignant, a spokesperson in a statement released in the press association. she remains in good spirits, very keen for people to have their moles checked, she wanted to release the information, which is also something that king charles did last week when he revealed he had enlarged prostate, he wanted to have moormann get themselves checked and there was a huge rise in hits on the national health service website in relation to that. partly sharing information that the public might need to know, but also raising awareness of

the health issues within the royal family. a lot of people are unaware of her role of the roof because she does not have a official role since she divorced from prince andrew, but you will have seen, some of you, invited to christmas, by the king, and the group of royals, members of the suspect, and the royal full, part of the family this time. >> you mentioned it, and revealing details about his cancer scare as well, quite new within the royal family. >> a new spirit of openness, king charles and the family, highly protected, with any medical details being released, they feel the royals to have a right to a private life,

particularly when it comes to medical details, we don't know how the queen died. releasing information about the prostic, and that not necessarily in the public interest, and didn't involve spending a lot of time in hospital, chose to release that information and impact in terms of awareness and we did have a lot more inquiries as a result. >> can we expect to receive any more details? this will be the final word on it? >> if it was a major update we would probably here, it's difficult to tell, she has her own communications team, handling things in her own way, as far as the palace is concerned, it will be clear that we would be told about

anything, with the princess of wales as well, a big update in the big release for things far as the duchess e worst. communications, it is wait and see and what she feels the public needs to know. >> thank you for bringing us up- to-date on the latest health scare, appreciate it. a storm in asia is packing a punch around the uk k and a startling g impact on planeses tryingng to land, , wewe will t look. .

the indian prime minister inaugurated a new multimillion dollar temple today, the construction of the temple fulfills his long-standing promise in an election year. the controversial hindu temple is on the side of an ancient mosque, hindus believe he was born in the town thousands of years ago but the mosque was built over his birthplace by the emperor, following the demolition, hindu and muslim groups tried unsuccessfully to resolve the disputes for many years, the nationalilist party

launchched a nationwnwide campa to buildld the temple that eventually led to the mosques demolition in 1992. triggering riots that killed about 2000 people. joining us now, what is the latest on this? figure it's intruding to what you see on your screens, with the the inder singh to of the temple. and and this is a historical moment, in a controversial moment. it historically, like i said this is a moment that hindus across india and overseas have been waiting for, for decades, building up as a campaign, with

the supreme court in 2019, giving the nod for a temple to be built on this controversial site, picked up by the trust of the temple to build the roundtable on the spot. the supreme court had also given another piece of land to the muslim community, we believe the construction will only start midyear. why is it controversial? because obviously there were clashes on the site, while hindus across india and remember 80% of india's population are hindus, they are celebrating this moment, 200 million muslims, some of them at least, are with the inauguration of the temple, cnn spoke to a few muslims who had been extremely upset and they say it is reopening old wounds because we spoke to people who had lost their near and dear ones in the 1992 carnage and they said they will be watching the celebrations and the

consecration from a distance. the opposition leaders, most of them have boycotted the event, some of the more invited but they decided to stay away because they believe the indian prime minister is cashing in on a religious ceremony, and secular is a word in the constitution they say and hence you can have the prime minister of the country presiding over a religious ceremony. they allege there's a lot of politics involved in the opening of the temple, and that is still underway -- by the way under construction. the party had been waiting for, just ahead of the elections. india will witness elections in the month of may. the indian prime minister seeking a historic third term as prime minister here in india, a lot of people along with analysts and critics say this is a moment he has been waiting for because it will help consolidate the hindu base for

the promised her, but the celebrations all across the area, people have come from all over, this for cnn. >> i have walked 70 kilometers. seeking a blessing from him, i feel very good being here. >> the indian prime minister is speaking right now, updates, back to you. >> thank you for joining us from india. in the u.s. transportation department, several states are urging travelers to delay their commute or avoid getting on the road today, freezing rain could create some icy conditions overnight in the south and the planes, meteorologist alyssa rafa has more of the week ahead. >> still have some of the arctic air an employee, up to

the central planes were monday morning, temperatures near and below freezing from oklahoma city, little rock and kansas city, and and it is really flourishing as we go through the morning commute in arkansas and missouri and oklahoma city. could linger until the afternoon on monday, that could mean some sick roads through much of the day, the moisture starts to make its way to the north, snow in chicago and heavy rain as we start the work week along the gulf coast, continuing to pump the moisture in here, looking at some of the ice accumulations, a quarter of an inch of ice through most of missouri, northwest arkansas, little rock, could have half an inch, really weighing down the power lines and cause problems on the roads, and the flood threat that will pay play out

over the next couple of days, the slight risk of flooding from eastern texas across louisiana and mississippi through wednesday. several inches of rain could cause flash flooding problems upwards of 4 inches or more, that could be heavy at times and aggravate those ground conditions and the flooding. this is being fueled by much warmer air moving in. start at the work week, five or 10 degrees above average, by the end of the week, temperatures surging, 10 or 15 and even 70s from charlotte, and some of the temperatures are playing out, even in dc, highs near 40 on monday and getting into the 60s by the end of the week, atlanta nearing 70 degrees and what i find remarkable is the overnight lows could get into the 60s by the end of the week from atlanta to orlando and new orleans, a lot of these

could cause some records to fall as we go through this warm-up. >> causing problems in the uk, much of the region's under high wind alerts, gusts up to 100 miles per hour, possible in some areas, the windy conditions, some shaky landings at london's heathrow airport on sunday, strong winds tilting the planes from side to side as they came in for landing, over 100 flights were canceled and over 300 others deleted heathrow on sunday . thank you for your company, have yourselves a wonderful day, continuing next with max foster.
