2:09 am
campaigning by all the candidates leading up to the primary but the only one left in the area tonight is hillary clinton. natasha brown is at the pennsylvania convention center now where clinton gathered with her supporters about an hours ago. natasha? >> reporter: as you can see behind me the party is actually wrapped up here at the pennsylvania convention center. not without much fanfare for hillary clinton, she won big here in the state of pennsylvania and throughout the northeastern primaries. the party began the moment she hit the stage. hundreds celebrated a double digit victory in pennsylvania, helping to solid fi at becoming the democratic nominee. >> our campaign is about restoring people's confidence in our ability to solve problems together. by delivering results that help people volunteer their own dreams. that's why we're setting bold progressive goals. backed up by real plans.
2:10 am
that will improve lives. >> reporter: clinton rallied the crowd. he health care, education, raising wages and protecting civil rights. she even rallied bernie sanders supporters on the heels of her major primary victories. >> whether you support senator sanders or me, there's much more that that unites us than divides us. >> we're here to support hillary all the way in november. >> absolutely fantastic. >> we kicked but. >> most importantly, the speech tonight was so -- was focused on unifying the country. >> again, that would be four victories tonight for hillary clinton with connecticut projecting her as the winner at this hour. meantime cbs3 news exit polls show clinton did very well here in the state of pennsylvania
2:11 am
with women, people over 45 years old and nonwhites. she told the crowd tonight she's excited about getting back to philadelphia to clinch the nomination this summer during the democratic national convention. reporting live, natasha brown, cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> thank you. a reminder voters went to the polls in a total of five states tonight in addition to pennsylvania and delaware. clinton also won connecticut and maryland. vermont senator bernie sanders also scored a victory. he won in rhode island. but many political analysts say the losses in pennsylvania, maryland and connecticut could mean trouble for his campaign. he addressed supporters during a rally in huntingdon west virginia tonight and he says despite the results, he is in this race to win. >> all every national poll in every state poll has us defeating trump in that margin for us is significantly larger than that of secretary clinton. and the reason that we are generating this enthusiasm is
2:12 am
because we are doing something very unusual in contemporary american politics. we are telling the truth. >> sanders will campaign at indiana's per due university tomorrow. as we mentioned at the start of the broadcast on the gop side it was a clean sweep for donald trump. he won all five states that were up for grabs. the billionaire businessman won in pennsylvania, delaware, connecticut, maryland and rhode island. our david spunt is in our election central with more on a big night for trump. david. >> reporter: a big night for trump and his supporters, donald trump used the word presumptive nominee. he is ready for november. he wants to put the campaign aside. his opponents say they're not ready to do that. >> in a clean sweep, donald trump picked up wins in all five states tonight. >> i just want to tell you for the five states i am so honored. this was to me, our biggest night. because. >> trump is poiseed to win the
2:13 am
republican nomination. he won big in pennsylvania. specifically philadelphia. we joined republicans for a watch party tonight in northeast philadelphia. >> people wanted to come out and vote for donald trump this evening. >> but senator ted cruz is hoping for a brokered or contested convention. >> thank you and god bless you. >> reporter: a pash cruz spoke from indiana before the polls closed. he'll spend much next week campaigning in the hoosier state. >> the chosen candidate of washington, the chosen candidate of big money and the lobbyiest, they are not going to decide the republican nominee, it is going to be we the people. taking our country back and doing it together. >> reporter: jaifk had no public events tonight. he and senator cruz announced a pack over the weekend. cruz would campaign in indiana. kasich in oregon and new mexico. they call it a way to stop donald trump. the front runner made fun over the packet trump tower this evening. >> i think that's good because it shows weakness. it shows ineffectiveness.
2:14 am
shows failing campaign. >> reporter: despite what the candidates say, delegate map does matter. donald trump has 937 delegates. ted cruz 555. john kasich 147. ukee and jessica, interesting to point out. there are 71 republican delegates up for grabs in pennsylvania. donald trump only took 17 of those 54 of those they're considered a wild card or free agent delegates. that means those delegates at the convention in cleveland can vote for other candidates if they want the. reporting live tonight, david spunt. >> thanks so much. it is the end of an era in philadelphia as voters have unseeded indicted congressman chaka fattah after two decades of service. he's facing trial next month on racketeering and conspiracy charges, he was defeated by dwight evans, you see there 42 percent to fattah's 35 percent. that's with 96 percent of
2:15 am
precincts reporting. "eyewitness news" greg argos is live at the fattah hdquarters in center city tonight. greg? >> reporter: jessica, it was a very somber scene here at the campaign headquarters for the congressman. he took to the to stage in the podium about an hours ago speaking for just five minutes and conceding both the primary race and the seat he's held more than two decades. >> it appears that we will not have the numbers add up in the way that would return me to the congress. >> reporter: with that congressman chaka fattah who held the congressional seat since 1995 conceded the primary race to dwight evans. >> i think that the gentleman who has a greater amount of votes at this moment a state representative evans is obviously qualified to take on the responsibilities of representing what i think is the
2:16 am
best congressional district in the country. >> reporter: fattah campaigned for a 12th term and planning for a federal trial on charges he miss appropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal, ratty charitible and campaign funds, charges he denies and were his trial set to begin next month. we caught up exclusively with fattah as he left campaign headquarters. is the focus on your trial next month. >> i said all i had to say tonight. >> reporter: is there anything you want to say about the preparations for the trial. >> i said all i'm going to say tonight. i'm thankful for those who supported me. how are you doing? good to see you. and we think that it's time for the spotlight to turn to those who won elections this evening. >> reporter: congressman's fattah's opponents did not focus on the upcoming trial. rather were trying to change the status qua.
2:17 am
it appears they did just that, live in center city, greg argos cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> thanks so much. we go live now to trang do at dwight evans headquarters in germantown. where he is declaring victory and trang, a different mood there? . >> absolutely. jessica, just the opposite here. the party is still going on. you can see dwight evans still hugging every single person in this room. he has 11 term chaka fattah and and 11,000 votes. evans took the time to thank fattah for his service. he tried to focus on the issues in this race and did not ever bring up fattah's legal issues. he says he has the office of state representative 36 years. he's run for a number of different offices unsuccessfully and now is his night. >> this has been a long struggle. there's a lot of work to do. i really want to get something done and i really want the people to work together because
2:18 am
it's not good for the image that we have for the institution. it's not in the people's interest. it's not in congress's interest. we need to pull together. that's what i want to do. go there and figure out how to work with people. i think that's so important. i'm not interested in the pettyness of the political process. i want to get results. i think we got the opportunities to do that. that's what i'm doing. i've been a problem solver. i intend to try to be a problem solver in washington, dc. >> reporter: evans will face republican james jones in november. because the seat has been democratic since 1949, this is concluding this job. trang do. cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> more primary coverage still ahead for you here on "eyewitness news." we'll tell you who will be taking on pat toomey in november's u.s. senate race. in honor of the primary we decided to put a twist on

we thought we'd put a spin. >> with the talk of eagles move to number two in the draft, the reason we asked eagles fans who they'd vote for as the team starting quarterback. nicole brewer is here with the results of who eagles nation wants as it's signal caller out there. >> if eagles nation was a did democracy, i think we'd see pretty high voter turn-out. a lot of passion in that crowd. if you had to vote today, who would be the eagles 2016 starting quarterback? it's a good question. especially on an election night. >> did you ladies vote today? >> yes. >> you feel like you have a voice in the system. >> i'm part of the process. >> what would it be like if you could vote for the state of eagles nation? . >> reporter: if there's one thing eagles nation has is a voice. on this primary day we put together an unofficial poll asking fans if you had to vote

2:24 am
in than get broken. starting when he's not ready. >> reporter: it became clear bradford would not win the popular vote. >> big baby. if i'm not the number one, i'm not going to play, i'm taking my toys and leaving. >> reporter: brings up a good point. if bradford want to be traded should he concede. >> just man up and play. >> now, based on our unofficial poll results, cbs3 has projected carson wentz the winner of the popular vote. but technical, but before he declares victory, we're going to have to get through thursday's draft. >> that's right. do we get to vote. >> would you like to? >> go ahead. you, what do you have for me. >> i'm going to put it right here. >> ukee has been working on this. great beg jay, ron gentleman
