telling people no more rallies. maybe no more campaigning, may be no more debates, may be no debate with donald trump at all because of the coronavirus. we take this very seriously. preparedness, not panic, that's the watchword. shannon bream, next. >> this is a fox news alert. it's 11:00 on the east coast, polls are now closed and the final two states of the evening. idaho and washington. good evening, i'm bret baier. >> and i martha maccallum. it is too early to project who will win the democratic presidential primary in either of those two states. meanwhile, the rest of the evening is shaping up very nicely for joe biden. fox news projecting that biden will win michigan, the largest delegate prize of the night, and a state to sanders won over hillary clinton four years ago. >> bret: biden also with two more big wins in the south, taking missouri, the close to 60% of the vote there and winning mississippi by a whopping 80%. propelled in part by a strong turnout by african-american voters. >> martha: finally, the

caucuses in north dakota, fox news unable to make a projection there at this point. >> bret: the former vice president racking up some more delegates. now with the lead as we have it, 783 for biden, 628 for sanders. remember the magic number, 1991 to get the nomination on the way to the convention in milwaukee. vice president biden just finished speaking from philadelphia. he canceled his rally in ohio, as did senator sanders due to fears over the coronavirus. this comes as the dnc announces that sunday's debate in phoenix will take place without a live audience. >> martha: complete fox coverage for you ahead. jacqui heinrich is following the sanders campaign, but we will start with peter doocy live in cleveland where biden was supposed to be speaking this evening. good evening, peter. >> martha and brett, just a few minutes ago, joe biden explained exactly why it is that at the very last minute, as his staff was in the gym at the cuyahoga

community college campus setting up a podium, some biden ohio signs, they decided not to come to cleveland at all. >> we were planning a big rally in cleveland tonight, but the governor of ohio asked the presidential campaigns to cancel their indoor public events in cleveland where it's large large crowds of people and that's what we did. due to the coronavirus. >> and it's not clear how the coronavirus is going to affect biden campaign events that have been growing indoors in size over the last couple of weeks ever since his big win in south carolina. it's also not clear how it will affect joe biden, the candidate who gives more hugs to potential supporters than anybody that has left running. but something very remarkable about what he continued to say there in philadelphia, he started thinking bernie sanders and his supporters for their

energy and he was stressing to sanders' supporters, speaking to them directly, that everybody has the same common goal to beat donald trump. bernie sanders of course still in the race, but joe biden making a play already tonight for his backers from philadelphia. back to you. >> bret: thanks, peter. now let's check in on how the sanders campaign is responding to the latest news about sunday's debate and also tonight's reaction. jacqui heinrich's live in cleveland as well. good evening, jackie. >> good evening, bret. senator sanders will not be addressing voters after those projected losses. there is a somber mood within the campaign. michigan obviously coming as a blow. this is a symbolic state that he wanted to win like in 2016 where he pulled out a win over hillary clinton. it was an upset victory, it marked a moment for his electability. at the state did not produce the same results for him tonight and that is coming as a seat huge of disappointment his campaign.

coronavirus concerns canceled his rally or one state over here in cleveland tonight, it didn't appear to impact voting in michigan. sanders campaign encouraged election officials to address long lines at polling locations, urging them to keep polls open longer if necessary, but the same white college-educated voters that give sanders a win in 2016 this time favored biden, who won with a broad coalition of men and women, black, white, suburban and rural voters. sanders' losses in missouri and mississippi were more protectable and a repeat from 2016. his inability to secure broad support among african-american voters is turning out to be sort of the achilles' heel of his campaign, especially with a rival like biden, with such long-standing support without reliable voting block and the key number of endorsements. sanders was asked earlier today if you could still see a path to the nomination without support from southern black voters. he said the delicate map still says yes. even with losses tonight, sanders is not dead in the water. next tuesday, four primary

states offer 577 delegates compared to today's 352. also, the results from three states are not yet income including washington state, which could be a bright spot for him. he had a lot more resources in that state than biden did. and there's also chance that progressives could rally around his campaign. earlier tonight we saw more than 30 elizabeth warren staffers pledge their support for sanders even though she has not yet endorsed a candidate after dropping out, their action perhaps sensing a void there. bret. >> bret: thank you. >> martha: let's get to our first thoughts from our panel tonight. brit hume, fox news senior political analyst, dana perino, cohost of "the five" and anchor of the daily briefing. and juan williams, also cohost of speech when he three and a fox news political analyst. great to have all of you with us. britt, let me start with you. there is sort of a tone to the reaction tonight coveragewise, also from joe biden himself. sort of turning to bernie sanders and saying

wouldn't it be nice if you sort of let all your supporters -- convince all your supporters to turn his way? >> yeah, he's trying to convince everybody that he's not sleepy joe, that he is sweepy joe and from at least what we know about site that looks like an accurate description. you think about why bernie sanders is faring so much worse against joe biden so far than he did against solar clinton and i think there are a couple of reasons, martha. i think that part of it is the people are so desperate to beat donald trump that they don't want to take any chances on a candidate who might prove unable to do that because of exotic positions, even though they may sympathize with those positions. and the other reason is that i think even within the democratic party that socialism is not turning out to be a big winner and sanders has to now confront the prospect as he tries to gain ground on biden, if he can, that what he's selling, they're not buying. and i think -- things could

change, they often do in politics, we've seen that certainly in the last few weeks, but this looks like we are on sort of a course here and i'm not sure what sanders can do to reverse it. he looks to me like he is in some pretty serious trouble. >> bret: dana, it's worth setting the table again, where we were. think back to iowa. think back to new hampshire. he wasn't even on the front page. think back to nevada, losing by 21 points and then south carolina happens in this big endorsement by james clyburn and then he wins big and that's only a few days ago. >> so our news cycles have been moving more quickly than ever before and something that happens in the morning, you kind of forget about about by the afternoon. in new hampshire, when biden was losing so badly, remember, he decided early in the day that he was going to leave new hampshire and had to south carolina. that was 28 days ago. so within that time he has had this incredible turnaround and i think that the democrats have said our minds are focused, our minds is made up. we have taken the measure of all

of these people -- and bernie sanders, he had a better turnout in 2016 in these elections, especially these four states, but he hasn't -- obviously he has not done enough in the last four years to convince the democratic party that he should grow the base and what biden looks like he is able to do, at least in the democratic primary, is to keep that coalition that helped the democrats win back the house in 2018. speetwo's of tonight he was the tone -- the tone and tenor was very measured. >> very quiet. >> bret: quiet, measured, joe biden is a very effective joe biden. >> when he was losing his place and it becomes unhinged, almost, it does not inspire confidence. it doesn't give you what he's trying to sell, which is this reassuring message that he is a flight to safety, that he's the one that can bring us back, he's the bridge builder. tonight he was a little bit more measured and on that -- and he was also treating the bernie sanders voters -- trying to ease them out gently so they

don't alienate them more. >> martha: that's exactly what i heard and that too, juan, sort of how do you gently turn the ship with these sanders -- everyone is treating them so carefully because they want to create a situation that's palatable enough for them to say "okay, you know what, i'm willing to leave sanders and make biden my guy." >> i think there are two levels to that discussion, martha, which i think is the discussion of the evening right now. one, who are the supporters of bernie sanders? what did we see even tonight in places like michigan and missouri? and as we go out west towards washington state, and the answer is young people. still people under 44, but particularly those who are 18 to 25. big bernie sanders supporters. the second group, and it's not is present in some of these states, and there's elements of them there, you can see latino voters go for bernie sanders, so the question is, how do you translate those voters into potentially biden voters? and that brings me to the second

point. is this the moment when bernie sanders should follow in the footsteps of buttigieg, of amy klobuchar and elizabeth warren and say, hey, you know what, in the name of party unity and defeating donald trump, i pledge my allegiance to joe biden? i just don't see it. i think in fact what bernie sanders has proven is that over the course of two rones, he wants to be a player. some democrats say he is yet to prove that he's a real democrat, but let's just put that aside. he wants a roll of the convention and he may want a role in terms of how the biden campaign progresses. so he has a lot of things that are on his agenda and he feels that he has -- and i think i'd agree with them -- he has every right to push it. i don't anticipate -- certainly don't anticipate him dropping out before the sunday debate that's upcoming in arizona. but i don't know how much longer -- >> martha: it strikes me though that this whole idea that it's been sort of stolen from him is really not playing out in these numbers. people are voting for joe biden.

so at what point does that become -- you know, it is override this argument that it's being stolen? >> bret: brit, have you ever seen -- you covered a lot of races, a phoenix from the ashes political story like where witnessing right now? eight days ago michael bloomberg had 59 people on the ground in michigan. joe biden didn't have anybody. and he didn't even -- he only visited there once. today he is beating the guy who won michigan four years ago over hillary clinton. >> and he's beating him pretty handily too. i have never in the presidential cycles i clobbered, which go back longer than i've care to tl you, seen anything quite like it. it's been an extraordinary revival and i would say that it is really, interestingly enough -- biden has sort of -- it isn't as if biden went out and developed a new message or put on some staggeringly great debate performance. at the voters really did this for him. obviously jim clyburn,

south carolina endorsement was critical, but biden -- biden really didn't do this -- the democratic party voters have chosen him, literally chosen him when he was flat on his back with no money and apparently not much support and they turn it around for them, remarkable. >> can i just jump in here and say that, you know, when you look at who did it among the democrats, you have to point out that even tonight in michigan, he gets 66% of the black vote. 51% of whites, so it's the party. you can see it's also true in missouri and mississippi. forget about it, that's what started it, black voters. >> bret: panel, standby. >> martha: the other big story that we are following tonight, a number of coronavirus case is still rising in the united states. this just breaking this evening, the new york half marathon that was scheduled for this sunday has now been canceled. >> bret: the trump administration giving an update from the white house earlier today, putting new measures in place across the country to combat the fast-moving outbreak.

>> testing is now available at all state labs. by the end of this week they will be more than 4 million more tests made available in jurisdictions around the country. 1 million are already in place. all of our major health insurance companies have now joined with medicare and medicaid and agreed to waive all co-pays, cover the cost of all treatment for those who contract the coronavirus. >> bret: kevin corke is live in washington with details, kevin. >> evening, bret. coronavirus cases continue to rise in the u.s., but even as they do, the white house and congressional lawmakers today were negotiating measures to bolster the u.s. economy. a lot of people very concerned about what may happen on the economy moving forward. and i was lay there trying to boost the paychecks of americans in an effort to limit the financial impact of the outbre outbreak. almost three quarters of u.s. states have confirmed cases of cobit 19, almost 1,000 cases total and thousands of deaths as

you know. today the vice president gave a task force update from the white house while the president himself and g.o.p. lawmakers held emergency meetings on the hill to discuss the administration's response to the fast spreading virus. >> i've been briefed on every contingency you could possibly imagine. many contingencies buried a lot of positive -- different numbers, all different numbers, very large numbers. in some small numbers too, by the way. right now i guess we are at 26 deaths and if you look at the flu, the flu for this year, we are ahead -- we're looking at 8,000 deaths. >> the president also making clear his top priority as a payroll tax cut that would last until the end of the year. those two sides also discussed paid leave for people who might miss work because of the virus, small business loans for impacted employers, extending the federal tax filing deadline beyond april 15th, and infrastructure spending to generate more jobs. treasury secretary

steven mnuchin also set with house speaker nancy pelosi, he said he was confident the two sides could come together and reach a solution that works for all americans. i should point this out very quickly, bret and martha, the administration telling fox sources that they expect some 4 million test kits to be available by the end of next week. back to you. >> bret: kevin, thank you. >> martha: so much more in the coronavirus outbreak coming up. we are going to talk about the risk to americans and how you can protect yourself. >> bret: plus, more primary election nights analysis as fox news' live coverage of democracy 2020 continues straight ahead. ♪ people ask me what sort of person should become a celebrity accountant. and, i tell them, "nobody should." hey, buddy. what's the damage? i bought it! the waterfall? nope! a new volkswagen. a volkswagen?! i think we're having a breakthrough here! welcome to caesar's palace. thank you.

coronavirus update. >> martha: thank you guys. back to the upright, which is obviously a very big story. growing impact on the united states, now over 700 confirmed cases across the country and at least 27 deaths. experts warn more cases are expected as testing ramps up. let's bring in fox news contributor dr. manny alvarez. always good to see you, thank you for being here tonight. what do you anticipate in terms of how many more cases we are going to see? >> after corrector, we're getting closer to a thousand cases now. embers have increased in the last 48 hours, so we are going to see more cases. we are going to do more testing. the kids are now -- for the virus are being distributed to hospitals, community centers and things like that within the state. >> martha: what is the test like? >> the test is a simple test. it has a medium of liquid that they swallow different areas of your oropharynx and it goes to a lab and they are able to test

it. we are going to get a lot more testing, a lot more positive. remember, 80% of the patients may be asymptomatic and again, the big question is whether the asymptomatic patients can transmit the virus. that's a question that needs to be answered. i think we will know the answer to that soon. we know that 15% of the population is going to get severe pneumonia or upper respiratory -- >> martha: 50% of the affected population? 15%. >> out of that, 2% are going to probably die. on the most vulnerable group of people are people over the age of 60 with chronic medical conditions and i think those are the real facts, because once those folks get that condition, they're going to have difficulty breathing and they're going to require hospitalization and icu treatment and so on and so forth, so that's where the mortality is going to come in. >> martha: how do you compare what we are doing now with what south korea did in terms of full-scale testing and if it's true that some people are asymptomatic or are very light

symptoms, if they go to the doctor, they're not going to be told to go get tested. >> it listen, in those communities with their about china and what they did in south korea, they can take a more draconian measure. but i have to tell you, and i think i've spoken to hundreds of physicians and different scientists and biotech companies since the epidemic broke out, the president's action of closing the border was the right move. the task force -- i mean, he has incredible task force put together, looking at exactly how -- you know, this is a big country. this is not korea. we have 50 individual countries, if you will, with large populations. so i think that the federal response has been incredibly positive. and on the backside of that, when i look at the research, or the dash you know, the speed of research that is being conducted in biotech companies, looking at the vaccine, that is coming, so

you can put that in the bank. treatment options for viral infections, because we have lessons learned from the sars infection and now that this coronavirus infection. so the biotech technology are going to be tremendous. and i think of the president continues to, let's say, open the doors -- once we have certain treatments for coronavirus that we can to experiment of therapy to treat, just like we have done in cancer, i think that we are going to be okay. >> martha: doctor, thank you very much for what you're doing to help people. thank you. coming up, we will break down what really mattered to voters in tonight's big contest. karl rove and donna brazile share their thoughts on where do we go from here and how solid is this won for joe biden met democracy 2020 continues right after this. stay with us. ♪

column, possibly more as we wait for results in washington, idaho, and north dakota. >> martha: biden adding to his delegate count as well. you can take a look at the board there, 809 right now for joe biden. evening of course not yet over. bernie sanders at 654 at this point. for more on what issues are driving voters tonight, let's bring in shannon bream with a look at fox news water analysis. hi again, shannon. >> hey, martha. this of course has been a great eye for joe biden. he carried mississippi, missouri and the biggest delegate prize up for grabs tonight, michigan. his recipe for success has involved the same key groups that we've seen showing up for him since south carolina. if black voters in all three states went overwhelmingly for the vice president. two-thirds in michigan, fully three quarters in missouri and mississippi. biden also did very well, again, with moderate voters, with seniors, and with churchgoers. that's been a consistent pattern. white working-class voters have been split between biden and sanders and several contests

this election season but tonight they are backing joe. health care was a top issue for democrats voting today and those voters also went paper biden. they viewed him as better equipped to handle that issue better than any of the other candidates. one of the big questions for democrats that we've been tracking is whether they want to return washington to the way it was for president trump, or fundamentally change the entire political system. not surprising, those who want to restore the political system went with joe biden. in michigan, that was half the electorate and that carried biden -- he carried them by a mile. the late deciders, we've always looked at this because there is so much early voting no, they made the decision in the last few days. they came through again for the former vice president as they did in south carolina, as we also saw on super tuesday. two-thirds of that group supported biden. and finally, electability, that has been joe biden's argument the whole time. the most important thing for democrats this year in michigan more than eight in ten say they believe biden could beat trump. about six and ten say the same about sanders. another good night for him, it's been a consistent pattern we've

seen since he had south carolina, just continuing to gather steam. bret and martha, back to you. >> martha: thank you very much. >> bret: let's bring our panel, donna brazile, former interim chair of the democratic national committee. karl rove, both kyle fox news contributor's. as you look at that map in michigan, it's night and day. we just went through it with bill. what do you see when you look at biden versus bernie? >> you know, when i was a young kid, i was trained to look at wayne county, which is michigan, but tonight i looked at macomb county, livingston county, which is north and very conservative. joe biden -- i mean, it's night and day from 2016 to today. we keep talking about the obama coalition. tonight we are seeing an emergence of a biden coalition, rural, urban, he's not getting the type of support that he needs among young people, but you know what, the turnout among women as well as in the suburban community, it shows that joe biden has a lot of strength.

i want to be very clear, bernie sanders will have to assess his path going forward because the next big block of delegates, this next week with 577 and then you have to wait until what i call the yankee primary on april 28th to get another big block of delegates. so this is a key moment for bernie sanders' campaign, but joe biden clearly is coming tonight -- i think tonight joe biden has exceeded all expect patients. >> bret: 2016 exit polls have bernie sanders winning 55% of the white vote without college degrees. that's the exact number in our fox news water analysis for biden tonight. a lot has been said about the african-american vote, but carl, i mean, this is looking like it's a biden tapping into the same things bernie did four years ago. >> well, some of it. bernie didn't tap into the black vote, that was done by hillary, but yeah, the rural voters -- that map looked as -- bill

hammer showed you, looked a lot different because world michigan went for biden and this year -- take a look at missouri. every single county is going for biden. all of those rural counties, and there are a lot of them that one for sanders last time around. they are going for biden. >> martha: i think it's one of the most -- the theme that you see when you look at the voter analysis and when you look at that last number that shannon just showed us, can beat president trump. 83% for joe biden, 60 something bernie sanders. that's the spread that i think is more important than pretty much anything else that we are seeing at play here. and joe biden had almost no infrastructure -- you know, didn't campaign and some of these places, but this whole concept that everyone galvanized behind the fact that he can -- they think that he can beat president trump. >> bret: let's listen to biden from his victory speech tonight kept talking about president trump. >> replacing a president who demeans and demonizes people

with a president who believes in empathy, compassion, respect for everyone. it's my hope that the days of divisiveness will soon be over. we are a decent, brave, resilient people. we are better than this moment we are in. >> martha: that's it. >> what a different tone from earlier today, i have to laugh, because i want to get a little tough too, but listen, joe biden was somber tonight, he was sober, and he also applauded bernie sanders. he understands that he has to continue to reach out to democrats, especially those who are supporting bernie sanders, but tonight saw joe biden try to pivot towards the general election. >> martha: one of the questions is turnout. intensity. how much enthusiasm is behind joe biden if indeed he continues this road and becomes the nominee, karl, when he does go head-to-head, if that's what happens with president trump? >> big intangible. we are several geological ages away from being in the fall

campaign. it will be on to us pretty quick but there's a lot that goes on, and will -- i mean, this has been the result of an incredible three day momentum between south carolina and super tuesday night and that's the joe-mentum, as you called earlier. the question is how sustainable is it. it sustainable that he's going to become the nominee absent some big change. possible and maybe the last possible inflection point for bernie as the debate on sunday. it's hard to see how we can use that moment to win and change the contest. on the other hand, if biden cooperates with him and gives him that moment, he could have a resurgence. i don't think it's going to happen, but that's the last moment i think we are going to see -- >> bret: it sounds like they are going to pull some punches though. it sounds like just talking to the campaign earlier that it's not going to be a knock-down, drag-out in this arizona debate, it's going to be policy, it sounds like. but bernie sanders is not going down any other roads. >> and look, he faces a

fundamental choice, does he sort of begin the process -- if he doesn't do well tonight, he's not going to do well in at least three states -- i think it's probably going to end up being six. if he doesn't do well in next week's four states, he has to make a choice, does he begin to toss it in and begin to unify the party, but is he simply say my object is to influence the platform and the choice of the running mate, so in a respectful way, i'm going to continue to rally people around the standard of the left wing of the democratic party and go into that convention with his big block as possible. >> bret: what's her back? >> i think he sees himself as a leader of a movement whose goal is to transform the democratic party, the country, our society as a whole, our politics. i think he continues to run, but you know, this is a very personal decision. he and his wife, they have thrown themselves into this contest not once, but twice. not a young man and it's taken a lot out of him but i think he stays in as long as he's got the resources and the enthusiastic support of his backers. >> is a passionate fighter and he believes in the cause that he has put forward, whether it's

medicare for all or a green new deal. some people dislike those policies, but bernie believes in them. because he's been fighting for those issues all of his adult life. >> bret: thank you. up next, the battle for michigan goes to joe biden, as we said, so where does the campaign go from here? we will speak with a member of the biden campaign next. ♪ sure, principal is a financial company. but think of us as a "protect your family as it grows" company. a "put enough away for college" company. and a "take care of your employees" company. we're a "help you ride the ups and downs of the market" company. and when it's time to retire, we're a "we've been guiding you toward this all along" company. think of us as all these companies, and more. principal. retirement. investments. insurance.

history. and i think we saw tonight joe biden billed on the coalition that we are going to need to defeat donald trump this fall. you know, he won handily running away the african-american vote. he won in the suburbs. he won with college-educated voters. so you really saw him show tonight that he is the only candidate in this race who can build a broad coalition that we have to build if we're going to take the white house in november. so i think there was incredible enthusiasm for him tonight. we saw a record turnout in michigan, potentially on our way to record turnout in missouri, there was record turnout on super tuesday. people are excited about joe biden and he shall he's the candidate who can defeat donald trump. >> bret: this is how you drew it up, fourth and i, fifth and after, distant second in nevada and then roll from there. i want to ask you about -- >> it was always the plan. >> bret: i want to ask about bernie sanders and what you think of his campaign tonight and if he decides to continue one, is there going to be pressure for him to get out of this race from your camp or any other elements of the

democratic party? >> well, look, i mean, joe biden is never going to tell bernie sanders that he should get out of the race. i think people are going to take a hard look at where the race stands. i think -- again, i can say that biden showed tonight that he's the candidate who is on his way to winning the plurality of delegates and men's contest. i think the path for senator sanders seems to be very narrow. and i think that a lot of people -- there will be a lot of discussion about that, a lot of pundits will be discussing it. other voices in the party may raise it again. you will not hear that from joe biden, obviously, he's focused on running his race, but i think anybody looking at this race tonight saw that there was one candidate who can win the broad coalition that we got to win to take back the white house and that's biden. >> martha: regardless of what happens tonight and the remaining two states, is joe biden committed to being in a debate on sunday? >> if the debate is being held, he'll be there. i think, again -- >> bret: is there a doubt? >> he's going to be the person out there --

i'm sorry? >> bret: is there doubt that it's going to be held? >> not currently. our understanding is the debate is going to proceed and if it proceeds visual biden will be there. if he is always happy to have an exchange of ideas with senator sanders. i think there's a real contrast in their agendas. i think we are seeing that people are reacting really well to biden's vision, so he is always happy to make his case, but you know, again, i think there was pretty overwhelming evidence tonight that he's the candidate who has the energy behind him in our party that he can reach out and appeal to independents and some republicans who want to defeat donald trump. we believe that he is the candidate is going be able to do that. >> bret: there was this tone tonight a lot different than earlier in the day when he confronted a voter. i want you to react to this sound bite really quick.

[inaudible] >> wait, wait, wait, wait. >> bret: so much different tone. i assume he's talked about ar-15s and getting into a second amendment battle with that voter. what do you think of that? obviously the campaign aide was trying to move him along at that moment. >> listen, there is a lot of misinformation, unfortunately, in campaigns these days. we see it from every corner. and i think what biden was saying there is i'm not going to allow somebody to distort my record. i'm going to be crystal clear about where i stand. i think that's what voters are looking for. i think that's what democrats want. i think this is -- i think it is unfortunately donald trump has shown us that he is going to try to run our bruising campaign that's going to be largely built on misinformation and disinformation and i think what

you saw from biden in that exchange is that he's not going take that and again, i think that's what democratic voters are looking for, straight shooter who is going to be clear about where he stands and is not going to allow somebody to distort his record or misrepresent where he is. >> bret: thanks for your time tonight, we will be following you on the campaign. >> martha: thank you, kate. >> bret: up next we dive into the response contain the coronavirus. >> martha: some major universities are now shifting classes to online while the impact on sports -- including the new york city half marathon, details i had. ♪ about making choices. well i didn't choose metastatic breast cancer. not the exact type. not this specific mutation.

but i did pick hope... ...and also clarity... ...by knowing i have a treatment that goes right at it. discover piqray, the first and only treatment that specifically targets pik3ca mutations in hr+, her2- mbc, which are common and linked to cancer growth. piqray is taken with fulvestrant after progression on hormone therapy and has been proven to help people with a pik3ca mutation live longer without disease progression. do not take piqray if you've had a severe allergic reaction to it or to any of its ingredients. piqray can cause serious side effects including severe allergic and skin reactions, high blood sugar levels and diarrhea that are common and can be severe, and lung problems known as pneumonitis. tell your doctor right away if you have symptoms of severe allergic reactions or high blood sugar while taking piqray. your doctor will monitor your blood sugar before you start and during treatment and may monitor more often if you have a history of type 2 diabetes. before starting, tell your doctor if you have a history of diabetes, skin reactions... ...are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant.

common side effects include rash, nausea, tiredness and weakness, decreased appetite, mouth sores, vomiting, weight loss, hair loss, and changes in certain blood tests. if you've progressed on hormone therapy, and have a pik3ca mutation... ...ask your doctor about piqray.

>> bret: new york governor andrew cuomo implementing a containment zone and a large suburb of new york city. the first of its kind here in the u.s. as nations worldwide scrambled to contain the coronavirus. meanwhile, in the new york city road runners, announcing their canceling the new york city half marathon, which would have attracted some 25,000 runners from around the world unfortunately. >> martha: so meanwhile, the candidates canceling their events this evening as well. let's get some final thoughts on dana perino and juan williams as we look at wrapping up this evening. dana, let me start with you.

joe biden has been saying i am a bridge. if you know, this is i think his way of saying i might be an older candidate, but i'm a bridge to the future and getting people to come along with that idea. if that going to be successful for him against president trump if he ends up being the head-to-head? >> incumbent presidents are always in a better position, right? only twice since world war ii has the united states decided not to give a president a second term that was when the economy was not doing well, so it seems like an uphill battle anyway, but we also are in a time of everything is different from everything's changing. and i think that joe biden is saying not only am i a bridge to the future, he saying he's a bridge to the past. because people say they want to return to normalcy. but do people want a return to normalcy if that means, okay, maybe you don't have tweets anymore from the oval office, but do we go back to the way it was when nato wasn't putting in its fair share, when the economy wasn't like it is now, where we weren't opening up to more shale

and fracking for our own domestic energy consumption? and that will be -- if the fight gets to be on the merits, that would be interesting, but if it's a choice between the two people, it will be in interesting ways, but i think president trump has the edge. >> bret: no matter what bernie sanders does, juan, he's already succeeded in bringing the democratic party further to the left. joe biden is not the same joe biden that he was as a senator. or even as vice president as far as issues go. the question is, how much does he then have to bend over to reach out to the progressive side of the party to get them on board? >> what we know in terms of second choices because polling has been done on just this, and what you see is that sanders supporters say they're going to support what whoever is running against donald trump. it's not that they are open to somehow going to trump, although i've often made the case that a lot of sanders supporters and trump supporter's are very close in terms of the populace spectrum. for example, sanders is going to

make the appeal on the trade deal that biden voted for and say these trade deals hurt you, mr. and mrs. middle america. that's a trump line and it's also a sanders line. but the voters in terms of the democrats have said they're going to line up in opposition to donald trump and what we've seen even tonight is like [inaudible] usa and some of these other big super pacs on the democratic side say they're going to put money no behind biden, incredibly, even at this moment, has a really for an understaffed apparatus around the country. >> martha: we may see biden move -- generally you do, away from some of those positions like health care coverage for people who are here illegally and whether or not he's going to say no to charter schools and issues that will become very significant when you get to a general election. i also wonder if -- i think about rashida tlaib and ilhan omar and aoc campaigning with bernie sanders. what does this tell us, dana, about how people really feel

about that one of the party? >> i think it shows us that we in the media give us -- give a lot of attention to aoc and that she has a popular appeal across the country, but that when it comes to voters and when i actually have to go in and put something down on paper, that they are not for that. >> bret: dana, juan, thank you. been an interesting night. another stop on the way, that's going to do it for this special fox news coverage of democracy 2020. i'll be back at 6:00 p.m. eastern time tomorrow in d.c. forced me 27. >> martha: and i will be back at 7:00 p.m. eastern with "the story." life's coverage and analysis continues next with a special "fox news @ night" with shannon bream. good night, everybody. his goal ♪ should become a celebrity accountant. and, i tell them, "nobody should." hey, buddy. what's the damage? i bought it! the waterfall? nope! a new volkswagen. a volkswagen?!
