welcome to the "cbs overnight news." i'm jericka duncan. ted cruz and carly fiorina hit the trail since announcing their presidential ticket. in a rare move, cruz made his vice presidential pick wednesday much earlier than candidates have done in the past. being described as a hail mary pass to stop front-runner donald trump from clinching the nomination. here's chip reid. >> the next vice president of the united states, carly fiorina! >> ted cruz made his big announcement in indiana, home to a primary that may be his last chance to stop donald trump.

>> some might ask why now? >> reporter: cruz's hasty vp pick comes earlier than any in recent history. some compared it to the move by ronald reagan in 1976 when he named the vp choice, a few weeks before a convention fight against gerald ford. the move backfired and ford won the nomination. >> it is unusual to make the announcement as early as we are doing so now. >> reporter: the timing wasn't the only unusual part of wednesday's event. a awe. ♪ i know two girls that i just adore ♪ ♪ i'm so happy i see them more ♪ because we travel on the bus all day we get to play we get to play ♪ >> fiorina used part of her speech to serenade cruz's two young daughters and later denounced trump as a fraud. >> donald trump, i don't care if you put an r on your jersey. >> trump tweeted out this

mccain's playbook. in 2008, mccain stole some thunder from president obama's acceptance speech, announcing sarah palin his runningmate the next day. >> on the democratic side. senator bernie sanders appears to be coming to terms with the likelihood that hillary clinton will win the party nomination. the sanders' campaign announceped it is laying off nearly half of its staffers. nancy cordes shows us how that affects the race. >> sanders insists he is not taking his foot off the gas. it is also an acknowledgement of how slim the chances are they will need much staff at all come summer. >> we are going to win here in indiana, next tuesday. >> bernie! bernie! >> on the stump wednesday, sanders tried to strike a balance between optimism and realism. >> i am very good in arithmetic. and i can count delegates and we are behind today.

of the like he nominee that worries party leaders. >> i want to end fracking in the country. secretary of state she supported fracking. all right. >> you don't think the criticisms hurt her? you intend them to hurt her? >> this is called a democracy. why am i running for president? what should i do? >> reporter: clinton, and the chair of the democratic party have been very careful not to suggest sanders should got of the race early. it probably wouldn't work, and, it's not the best way to win over his supporters either. >> a federal judge called the longest serving republican house speaker, a serial child moles r molester. dennis hastert is going to prison not for admitted sex abuse but because how he tried to cover it up. dean reynolds. >> dennis hastert came to court with a broken man and dark secret. the 474-year-old former speaker of the house the man once second in line to the presidency
