the joe minton continues, joe biden sweeping to victory overnight in a pivotal primary contest. his sudden surge dealing a harsh blow to former front runner bernie sanders his path to the party nomination just got a lot more difficult. biden winning the night's biggest prize, michigan, scoring a comfortable lead in missouri and idaho and the blowout in mississippi. right now washington state is too close to call while the still undecided north dakota will likely go to sanders. here's where the candidates stand right now, biden securing 823 delegates but still more than 1000 away from locking down the nomination. what happens next? live team coverage with expert analysis starting with brian in lansing, michigan.

>> joe biden winning and decisive fashion, at least four of six dates, widening his delegate lead over bernie sanders and taking complete command of the race for the democratic nomination. in michigan biden winning 52% of the vote to sanders's 36%, michigan the biggest prize of the night with 125 delegates, in 2016 sanders won michigan in a shocking upset over hillary clinton thanks to sanders winning over white blue-collar workers in rural areas but this time around biden dominated with these voters, up 22% over sanders. in mississippi biden blowing out sanders by 67 percentage points was a whopping 86% of black voters in mississippi voted for biden. he continues to handily win the black vote nationwide.

in misery the tide continued in another double digit win for biden beating sanders 60 percent-34%. biden sweeping every county in michigan, missouri, mississippi. he also won idaho, the win giving him a commanding delegate lead over sanders. >> it is more than a comeback in my view. it is a come back in the soul of this nation. this campaign is taking off and i believe we are going to do well from this point on. take nothing for granted. i want to earn every vote in every single state. >> we are waiting on results from washington state in north dakota. sanders did not speak last night, choosing instead to fly home to vermont. both candidates canceling rallies in cleveland due to the coronavirus, speaking of covid-19 the highly anticipated debate on sunday will now be audience free.

heather: joe biden as many super tuesday sweep cementing his spiders the party front runner but will bernie sanders accept defeat or will he try to hang in until the very end. former bernie sanders social justice director says the writing is on the wall as she joins us to explain exactly what you mean by that. >> the writing is on the wall but bernie sanders is anti-math and pro-movement so regardless what is on the math and what is on the wall i think he will continue on. in 2016 he said every vote needed to be counted, every voice needs to be heard. his campaign talk class late on twitter, there is still more than half of delegates available so it looks as if they are going to push forward. we don't know. i'm sure senator sanders will make the statement today that will be clear about where he is going but more than likely he will go in and see what things look like next week.

heather: the latest delegate count, 1929 needed for the nomination. with you see he has a path forward to possibly win? does he have that? >> last time in 2016 i worked in michigan for the majority of the time i was on the campaign. we barely won that by a point or two so michigan was going to be the place he could be the new comeback kid. joe biden decisively winning not just the african-american vote that was talked about on super tuesday but white college-educated voters, non-educated voters, white voters, he has been able to show that he is the one which i won't call it the obama coalition. he got the joe biden coalition. i don't see how that path is going to shape out for sanders when we talk about going to florida it was absolutely not

going to go for a socialist any and ohio, more conservative moderate state. jillian: we talked about mississippi and michigan. we will talk about that with another guest coming up later in the show. in terms of the states we are facing next week what about those states specifically and we can bring that up for people as well, ohio, florida, illinois, arizona? >> when we talk about florida we are talking the south again. and cuban americans in florida who absolutely want nothing to do with socialism. in 2016 bernie sanders didn't even try to compete in florida. he just conceded that state because he knew it wouldn't go well like he did mississippi but don't see that doing well. we talk about ohio, another moderate state, a state that is republican-led on the governor level.

illinois, we lost that in 2016, that is similar to what michigan, how they voted and we don't see what will go in his favor based -- anything could change because we didn't see joe biden being the comeback kid, he was on supertuesday, this much left on the table. >> you talked about the lack of action with the flint water crisis and you were right about that. that impacted things as well. thank you for joining us, we appreciate your time as always, get some rest, goodbye. the time, 11 minutes after top of the hour, joe biden pulling had to november after sweeping the south. >> if i'm given the honor of being your president i promise you i will strive to give the nation that very leadership. every day.

heather: joe biden adds to his southern state sweep with decisive wins in mississippi and missouri. the former vice president with a strong leader among african-americans but can he match up against donald trump who conquered the south in 2016, women for trump's cochair ways in. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it.

what about that in terms of the match up against donald trump in these southern states? we can bring up the southern state win so far for joe biden which are pretty significant. >> they are significant when it comes to the democratic nomination process but when it comes to the general election i think donald trump will sweep the southern states, look to 2016, look at the primaries, mississippi specifically, hillary clinton won 83% of the vote in mississippi during the primary process, 90% of the black vote in mississippi and also lost to donald from over 17 points, donald trump has a strong leader and will take them again. heather: another paul, random selection of voters is who this pole was directed at, they say

joe biden would beat trump in michigan by 83%. mississippi by 90% and missouri by 83%. what do you think of that poll? >> many of the polls are comical when you look at the 2016, they said hillary clinton would sweep states that she -- no path to victory and as we know he had a path to victory in more elect oral votes. heather: people have not talked about how religion plays into this race, the trump team announced milwaukee, the rally will bring out catholic voters for them. how do you think that key demographic will be in the 2020 election? >> when you look at the pew polling that has come out recently over half of catholics support all or most of the church's teaching, 18% support all the teachings, looking at 18% specifically, they are more likely to vote in elections and identify as conservatives for

the simple fact he backs them on the issue of abortion and religious liberty, the president promised in 2016 on the campaign trail that he would elect conservative, pro-life justices that follow the text of the constitution. that is what he did not only with the two supreme court justices but almost 200 federal judges on the bench since he took office. >> does the next paul surprise you in terms of mississippi, random voters asked, show 80% of people in mississippi who attend religious services once a week or more voted for biden. >> know. this is primary polling and when you look at the general election if you look out drastically far left democrats of gone on the issue of abortion, back to 2004, some of john kerry's dances on

abortion and up hurting him in these democrats now, and incredible place we thought they would never go supporting late-term abortions, i don't see how the vote in november will go any other way but for the president when you look at what he has done in defunding planned parenthood, the first president to speak at the march for life. it has been incredible and he exceeded expectations on this issue. shannon: as donald trump rallies the space biden and sanders canceled ohio rallies amid concert -- coronavirus concerns, scrapping a live audience in arizona. will the coronavirus change the 2020 campaign trail on both sides of the aisle? >> i think there on both sides of the aisle potentially events that could be canceled in terms of how this rolls out and the effects could be but it is incredible to see the president

ahead of the game when it came to coronavirus was the media has been back and forth on their view on the issue. at the beginning they said stopping travel from china was a knee-jerk reaction, the coronavirus wouldn't be a big deal and that is racist but now we see it ultimately prevented the united states from having as many cases as we have seen in other countries in europe. on top of the spending bill, requesting financial assistance for many that have been hurt as a result of what we see going on. heather: a rally in north carolina, not south carolina as the graphic showed. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. the time is 20 minutes after the top of the are, hundreds of taliban prisoners about be freed as the us begins withdrawing troops from afghanistan, the dressing moved to restart peace talks in the region.

>> give me a break. [bleep] heather: joe biden taking on an auto worker in a profanity laced argument. could this exchange come back to hunt him as the likely democratic nominee. sasha burns, and the mere beenoh. your reaction to that exchange. >> i'm proud of biden. democrats are ready to stand up and fight. i'm tired of being called unpatriotic because i want to protect kids from being shot in schools and the auto worker was recording a video that trump tweeted that was live about biden's position on guns. you don't have to lie on where we stand on guns. if you want one for protection, you want one for hunting, no problem, he was high-capacity magazines a bump stocks, no

problem. that is all there is to it. when trump shouts and swears it is considered tough for standing for america. when a democrat does it is off the rails was i ready to fight fire with fire. heather: what is your response? >> this is two things. first, biden's statements are completely wrong. called it an ar 14, taking positions he has supported buybacks, he supported eliminating 9 millimeter handguns, supported the ar 15 ban and said he would do it again. for him to tell us construction worker in the midwest that he is wrong about this video in which beto o'rourke will shepherd in biden's gun-control policies, totally off base which is wrong on the facts and concern about biden's mental state, everyone is talking about whether he is the mistreating signs of dementia. the fact that he can't remember

positions he took on an issue as important as this. heather: the stance he has taken, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, high-capacity magazines, reduce stockpiling of weapons, require background checks for all gun sales, that is what we have. >> like i said. we tell you where we stand. we want to get rid of weapons of war to protect kids in our school. that is the end of the story. if you want to talk about dementia, please. trump remembers all of his facts? i don't think so. just a double standard. heather: something that is interesting. the gop approval rating rises, democrats fall post impeachment.

in a new gallup poll nancy pelosi chuck schumer declaring victory over the judge's ruling, wouldn't you think washington would be moving forward to address big issues instead of moving backwards especially when you look at numbers that post impeachment approval ratings are increasing among republicans? >> for sure. the fact is the democrats have done in the house nothing for one and a half years. they are trying to justify in any way possible what they spent the last one and a half to two years doing and just a week ago or so the dc circuit gave a win to trump in asserting executive privilege over don mcgann's testimony. this is an effort by the house to neutralize that in some way and the third thing they are trying to do is take the

emphasis, the focus off of biden and put it back onto trump. if you scrutinize biden for any length of time you will see he's not all there. heather: are you comfortable with joe biden should he be the candidate? are you comfortable with the debate between joe biden and donald trump? >> absolutely. i can't wait. i supported biden from the beginning. he is steady, a man of good character, sensible and that is something we could use in the white house. heather: are you concerned about the issues with hunter biden coming to the forefront and being investigated in terms of connections with ukraine, business dealings with china? >> republicans will do their best to keep it front and center in terms of misinformation, the truth -- heather: an investigation is not misinformation. >> there already has been and it was proven that nothing was done wrong. go ahead and look at it. there's nothing wrong. i don't think hunter biden

should have been on the board. i don't think trump's kids should, i don't think anyone should. heather: the money the trump kids made was prior to donald from getting into office. >> versus hunter biden who made it -- a lot of money once joe biden was vice president. and other family members. >> a lot of money. heather: thank you for joining us and we will see what continues to happen. 20 minutes until the top of the are, overreach by the fbi spurring new reforms on the changes for a vote on capitol hill today. >> you are familiar with this particular brew. >> no, absolutely not. >> if you think a political risk their life to me. heather: the actor who played harry potter does not have the coronavirus, how this foods some key players in the mainstream

this says in 2020, should be a permanent blot on schumer's record, we strongly support a resolution to censure schumer on the senate floor. why did you think you needed to do this? >> a couple reasons but to be very clear senator chuck schumer is the leader of the democrats in the senate and as such he stood on the steps of the supreme court and threatened two sitting supreme court justices by name, that's not only in appropriate and irresponsible but is as the chief justice pointed out dangerous. a line has to be drawn. chuck schumer is not just a rank-and-file democrat, he's the leader of senate democrats. if anyone needs to be made an example of it is chuck schumer and that is what we are asking for. >> in a rare rebuke, john roberts talked about the comments made by schumer and call them dangerous. a constitutional attorney said

she thinks they were possibly illegal. >> you can't threaten sitting members of the judiciary. this used to be a known and understood than among politicians. apparently it is not anymore and that is why the censure is needed, democrats like to republicans about how they need to return to norms, norms that are being violated yet they repeatedly violate them themselves from nancy pelosi tearing up donald trump's state of the union speech to chuck schumer threatening justices to joe biden yelling at voters and telling them they are full of it, these norms are repeatedly being violated by people who claim to have moral authority. heather: you work for me among other things, the construction worker he got into it with. where will this move from? where is it and where does it go? >> senator josh holly introduced a resolution to censure senator schumer on the senate floor.

it is up to mitch mcconnell who is the leader of the republicans to bring that to the floor but you'll be hard-pressed to find a republican senator who wouldn't support this because it is out of line and if the chief justice said dangerous, not just for the two justices name but for a democratic system at large. heather: any timeline? >> not yet. it is up to mitch mcconnell. heather: thank you for joining us, we appreciate it and we will follow it for sure. 8 minutes until the top of the are, joe biden mops the floor with bernie sanders on many super tuesday and they are starting a war on twitter. the politically charged reaction. ♪
