♪ good morning, everyone. it is wednesday, march 11th, i'm i've lost track of the day. it's wednesday, march 11th. i'm ayman mohyeldin alongside yasmin vossoughian. i know that because yesterday was a voting tuesday. you have to remember it's wednesday. >> working on the fly there. >> we begin with last night's democratic primary contest as joe biden extends his lead with victories in four of the states that voted last night. of course, the key state, the state of michigan with the most delegates up for grabs, missouri and bernie sanders up by seven points with 63% of the results in so far. over in washington state which, of course, as you know, has been rocked by the coronavirus, too

close to call as well. sanders leads by less than 2100 votes. or 0.2 of a percentage point right now. any talk of a sanders comeback in michigan, that was blighted by sanders' double digit lead. biden awards 65 of the delegates so far. sanders gets 45 of those. 15 delegates still on the table with 7% of votes still out. >> we're also watching mississippi not because of biden's massive 81%. but because of sanders won 45 there. but it's actually 14.8. if sanders does not land at 15.0 which the remaining number of votes come in, he won't get a single state wide delegate from that state. here's where the delegate total stands so far, biden, 836,

sanders with 686. according to an nbc news exit poll, this is a 20-point yip tick for biden. meanwhile, biden continued to perform well among key voting groups including in michigan where he received over 60% of the vote of african-americans and voters over the age of 45. over in mississippi, he won 80% of voters, older voters, moderates, conservatives and black voters. and down in missouri, over 80% of democratic voters there who said they wanted a candidate who could unite the country, they ended up choosing the former vice president. >> joe biden last night addressed supporters from the national constitution center in philadelphia where following numerous primary victories, he sounded like he had already

become the democratic nominee. watch this. >> tonight, i want to speak to you from philadelphia, where we announced our campaign at the front end. when we did our final announcement. to all those who have been knocked down, to all those who have been counted out, left behind, this is your campaign. just over a week ago, many of the pundits declared that this candidacy was dead. now, we're very much alive. [ cheers and applause ] and although -- although there's a way to go, looks like we're going to have another good night. as i said from the beginning, this election is one that has character on the ballot, the character of the candidates. the character of the nation is on the ballot. it's more than a comeback, in my view, our campaign. it's a comeback for the soul of

this nation. this campaign is taking off and i believe we're going to do well from this point on. take nothing for granted. i want to earn every single vote in every single state. but if you're willing, if you want to join us go to joebiden.com. sign up. [ cheers and applause ] sign up. volunteer. and contribute if you can. we need you. we want you, and there's a place in our campaign for each of you. and i want to thank bernie sanders and his supporters for their tireless energy and their passion. we share a common goal. and together, we'll defeat donald trump. we'll defeat him again. >> joining us now from washington, d.c., senior staff writer for the hill. scott wong. scott glad to have you bright this morning.

>> good morning. >> bernie sanders thought to secure the nomination, looks like it's going to get a little more narrow this morning. where is his campaign turning its phoning customer focuses a yesterday. where does he have a path to a nomination? >> well, i thought it was telling that bernie sanders did not take the stage last night, basically ceding the stage to joe biden on a very good night for him. continuing his momentum after the super tuesday victory. these are states that joe biden

will win or draw with bernie sanders. it becomes hard to see how he will move forward. i think there will be some clarity in the next few days. clearly, the pressure is mounting now on bernie sanders to drop out of the race, even as we look to sunday night, where the two men will be debating in phoenix, arizona. but you heard the words of jim clyburn who wants this race over with. he wants bernie sanders to concede to biden. and i think you're going to hear more and more calls from biden supporters, and democrats in general that it's time for unify the party. >> and the sanders camp, though, has said, and they are committed showing up to the debate, making sure that they're there, nonetheless. so, i think we'll see sanders there and beyond that next week. who will knows, we'll have to wait to see. obviously, there's an indication, with regards to michigan especially if biden were to take michigan the way he did last night, that basically predicts how he's going to be

doing a lot of those midwest states. so, give us a sense about how last night's impact -- how last night's result are going to impact the path forward for the former vice president. >> yeah, biden is really putting together his own sort of coalition that includes suburban women in the suburbs outside of detroit. although includes noncollege educated white men. who had typically gone for bernie in the past, now are shifting towards joe biden. clearly, joe biden is doing very well with african-american voters, as we saw in michigan and mississippi. bernie has a slight edge on biden in terms of the hispanic vote. but i think all of this portends that joe biden has the potential to do very well in the general election against donald trump in some of these swing states that were critical in the 2016 election. wisconsin, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania.

where biden was born and raised. and so, biden, i think, is going to start -- you're going to start to see biden pivot to the general election at this point already this morning. you're seeing ads go up from super pacs are that are boosting biden in some of these key critical states with an eye towards the general election. with an eye targeting donald trump, not necessarily bernie sanders. and so, more and more, i think you're going to start to see this pivot towards the general election. >> scott wong in d.c. thanks, scott. >> thank you. now to the very latest on the growing coronavirus threat here in the u.s. as the number of known cases across the country has now topped 1,000. new states of emergency have been declared in colorado, massachusetts and michigan because of the virus. one of the top federal health officials issued this warning yesterday. >> we would like the country to realize that as a nation, we

can't be doing the kinds of things we were doing a few months ago. that it doesn't matter if you're in a state that has no cases or one case. you have to start taking seriously what you can do now, that if and when the infections will come. and they will come, sorry to say, sad to say, they will. >> now, according to the "the new york times," after weeks of mounting frustrations, states with a growing number of cases are still struggling to test widely for coronavirus. the paper notes that continued delays have made it impossible for officials to get a true picture of the scale of the outbreak. in new york, for example, state officials have set up a one-mile containment area in new rochelle. public schools in the area will be closed until march 25th. westchester county has seen 108 cases. >> and joe biden and bernie sanders were both supposed to

hold rallies yesterday but the rallies were cancelled citing public health officials. and this week's debate will not have a live audience. coachella and stage coach has been post pointed until october. and talk shows like abc's "the view" and live with kelly and ryan will stop taping in front of live audiences. and the uk health minister has tested positive, she met with boris johnson a few days before becoming ill. and politicians who have self-quarantined over coronavirus concerns, president trump sees no reason to be tested for the deadly disease. >> i don't think it's a big deal or we'd do it. i don't feel any reason. i feel extremely good. i feel very good. but i guess it's not a big deal do get tested. it's something that i would do.

but again, spoke to the white house doctor, terrific guy, he said he sees no reason to do it. there's no symptoms, no anything. still harder, former attorney general jeff sessions suffers a major blow toin the re to win back his senate seat. we'll explain what happened there. and the stock market rebounded in a big way yesterday. the futures are down. once again, where wall street stands this morning. those stories and more and a check of your weather when we come back.

welcome back. president trump tuesday turned to twitter to endorse alabama's tommy tuberville for senate against his former attorney general. >> that's got to sting. >> that's got to sting. >> you are the first one to come out and endorse president trutrump. >> the first guy to don that

maga hat. he writes, tommy tuberville is a real leader. the president went on to tout his strength on gun rights, crime and the border and described him as a, quote, winner. tuberville and sessions are running to unseat doug jones in november. sessions is the first member of congress as we were talking about to support the trump candidacy. as you so there, donning that maga hat, one of the first to be named to the administration. after recusing himself from the investigation in the russia election. and he fell out favor of the president. >> a couple weeks ago in the primary, he came out and said he was loyal to the president. >> and stood by the agenda. >> yeah, he still wants to advance the president's agenda. as we were saying it stings a little bit. "the washington post" reports that william evanina told

congress that u.s. intelligence agencies do not have evidence that russia interfering in the 2020 to benefit a particular candidate. that appears to conflict with what administration officials told the house intelligence committee in february. when a briefer said the russians preferred donald trump and senator bernie sanders. evanina saying that the russians continue to be engaged designed to discredit our system and federal election. >> let's get bill karins in the mix here. >> what do you think the dominant theme is going to be in the news? yesterday, the primary was swallowed up by the breaking news on the coronavirus. >> i think coronavirus will drive the news. >> and the markets as well. >> and we don't have a sense of exactly how big and widespread the coronavirus is spreading in this country. i still think until we get a

sense from government officials how widespread it is, it's probably going to drive the news. >> also from what we're seeing, the number of coronavirus increasing during the hour. you're in the middle of the show, you start the show off with the anybody of coronavirus being one number, by the end of the hour -- >> now, with the new testing we'll get the numbers quicker and we'll see big jumps. it's not that cases have jumped up, we're just finally getting results. >> that's an important point you bring up that i've been told over and over, and ayman, you and i talked about this as well. the key is not to panic, that you're seeing more cases. it's just that we have more tests in circulation. >> thank you. let me quickly give everyone their forecast and let you know what concerns we have. thunderstorms in areas of southern kansas, going into missouri. if we're going to get severe weather it's an area in little rock, into mississippi, we could deal with large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.

tomorrow, a severe weather threat goes towards memphis and nashville and areas of kentucky. those are the weather risks. many areas of the east coast are going to be fine. if we didn't have all of this breaking news we'd been talking about how crazy warm it is. we've had people with mosquitos and pollen almost a month ahead of time that they're not used to dealing with. >> thanks. a federal appeals court rules that the justice department has to hand over testimony from the mueller probe. we're going to talk about what it means for lawmakers who have been seeking those doubts. we're back in a moment. and the 2020 census is how that great promise is kept. because this is the count that informs where hundreds of billions in funding will go each year for things like education, healthcare, and programs that touch us all. shape your future. start here. learn more at 2020census.gov

a federal appeals court in washington ruled yesterday that the justice department must release the congressional democrats secret grand jury evidence that lawmakers are seeking in the ongoing investigations into president trump. the 2 to 1 decision comes as a victory for the democratic lawmakers in one of the separation of powers lawsuits file brd the house voted to impeach the president back in december. now the u.s. court of appeals

for the d.c. circuit upheld a lower court order that gives congress access to secret materials from robert mueller's investigation into the 2016 election. the 20-page appeals court opinion found that in its impeachment investigation the house was legally engaged in a judicial process that exempts congress from secrecy rules. the divided ruling, however, can be appealed. that does not mean that redacted material from mueller's final report will eventually public or turned over to congress. >> joining us on set to talk more about this, msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. good morning, danny, how are you doing? >> i'm feeling very well. please, don't send me home. >> we like to do health checks of people on set. >> i feel terrific. >> as ayman just brought up, this is the important thing, these aren't about to be handed over to congress immediately. what can the democrats do in the house to make sure they see the

documents? >> first, some background, grand jury documents have to be kept secret. that's because in order to induce people to come in and testify honestly about criminal activity, we have to keep the procedure secret. not only for their safety, but also so as not to damage innocent people that might be mentioned during grand jury testimony. we have a rule that grand jury materials are kept secret. you remember when attorney general barr released this information, he released keeping back some of that grand jury material. it was in the possession of the doj. but the court finds that grand jury materials just because they're housed in the doj, they remain property of the court. and the court has to safe guard that material. when congress asks for this material it falls within an exemption. an impeachment is a, quote, judicial proceeding. it doesn't really look like a judicial proceeding, but it is a

judicial proceeding but as long as congress has what is called a judicialized need, it's kept super secret. >> so, let me ask you what happens next, if the white house decides to appeal this decision, where -- to a higher court, where does it go? and who's the ultimate arbiter? i assume it can work its way to the supreme court but if it comes down to a decision and it's uphold, what happens? >> there's only one court left and it's the supreme court. it's started at the federal district court in d.c. then the d.c. court of appeals and then the last stop on the train is the united states supreme court. now, the vast majority of appeals are requests for

certifica yary. >> and you're betting that the supreme court will hear the case. >> i think it will. i always get asked that question, it all depends -- >> with the supreme court, they agree to hear a case, but, again, not until their next session, which in some cases wouldn't be until next fall. >> especially in an election year that could be significant? >> that could be significant. and the supreme court has the power to control its own document and could expedite. it's likely to go up to the supreme court because of the novel issues of law. and in cases like this, whoever won or lost in the lower courts, it's really starting over fresh in the high court. >> danny cevallos feeling good today. we'll ask you again tomorrow. >> i'm purell'ing. biden after a tense moment.

♪ welcome back, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian alongside ayman mohyeldin. we begin this half hour with the results from last night's democratic primary contest as joe biden extends his delegate lead with victories in at least four of the six states that voted last night. the key state of michigan, along with missouri, mississippi and idaho. the north dakota caucus is too early to call.

bernie sanders is up by seven points with 62% of the results there. and washington state which has been rocked by the coronavirus is too close to call. sanders leads by less than 2100 votes or 0.2 of a percent right now. any talk of a sanders comeback in michigan was blunted by biden's double-digit lead. 53. and biden awarded 125 of the delegates so far, sanders, 45. 7% of the votes still out. >> we're also watching mississippi not because of biden's massive 81% turnout but because of sanders, it says he won 15%. but the actual number is 14.8. that is significant because if he doesn't land at 15.0, when the remaining 11% of the vote comes in, sanders will not get a single state wide delegate from mississippi. now, here's where the delegate total stands so far.

biden, 836. sanders, 686. >> so, joe biden owes part of his big primary victories last night to the support among white college educated women. who won elizabeth warren's keying voting blocs. according to an exit poll, half of white educated women backed biden as compared to the 30% who voted for sanders. is this a 20-point uptick for biden from prior primaries before warren dropped out. and biden continues to perform well among key voting votes. in michigan, he received 60% of african-americans and voters over the age of 45. and mississippi, he won over 80% of the vote of older voters. moderate and conservative democrats and black voters as well, across the board there. and in missouri, over 80% of democratic voters there, who said, they wanted a candidate who can unite the country chose

the former vice president. >> and joe biden last night addressed supporters from the national constitution center in philadelphia where following nurm use primary victories he sounded like he had already become the democratic nominee. >> tonight, i want to speak to you from philadelphia where we announced our campaign at the front end. when we did our final announcement. to all those who have been knocked down, to all those who have been counted out, left behind, this is your campaign. just over a week ago, many of the pundits declared that this candidacy was dead. now, we're very much alive. [ cheers and applause ] and although, although there's a way to go, it looks like we're going to have another good night. as i said from the beginning, this election is one that has character on the ballot.

the character of the candidates. the character of the nation is on the ballot. it's more than a comeback in my view, our campaign. it's a comeback from the soul of this nation. this campaign is taking off, and i believe we're going to do well from this point on. take nothing for granted. i want to earn every single vote in every single state. but, if you're willing, if you want to join us, go to joebiden.com. sign up. sign up. volunteer. and contribute if you can. we need you, we want you, and there's a place in our campaign for each of you. and i want to thank bernie sanders and his supporters for their tireless energy and their passion. we share a common goal. and together, we'll defeat donald trump. we'll defeat him again. >> all right.

senator bernie sanders did not speak last night after falling farther behind in the delegate count for the race for the democratic nomination. the vermont senator was expected to speak from a rally in cleveland. both he and former vice president joe biden cancelled their gatherings due to the spread. sanders blew home without issuing a statement while his press secretary downplayed tuesday's loss us and turned the debate saying i for one are extremely excited about the debate all of the moderates are panicking about. the delegate difference is 151 out of 451 total. america finally gets to see biden defend his ideas, or lack thereof, on sunday. >> meanwhile, joe biden's remarks came last night after his campaign decided to cancel its rally in ohio. heeding the advice of the governor over the coronavirus concerns. while he expected to deliver more remarks tomorrow about how the coronavirus should be

handled, biden said last night that the public health emergency is a matter of presidential leadership. >> folks, look, 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, with large, large crowds of people. and that's what we did, due to the coronavirus. and he was concerned about that. and as i said, all along, that we would follow the guidance of the cdc, state and local officials and public health officials, with respect to our campaign events. we'll continue to do that. this is a matter, this whole coronavirus, this is a matter of presidential leadership. and later this week, i'll be speaking to you on what i believe the nation should be doing to address this virus. >> and former vice president

biden confronted a worker after the man claimed the former vice president was going to take away his guns and the beto o'rourke discussing weapons and gun reform. here's was part of that heated explaining. >> you're fuel of -- i'm not taking your guns away. at all. you need 100 rounds. >> you're going to take -- >> i did nut say that. i did not say. >> you're working for me. >> give me a break, man don't [ bleep ] -- >> in the terse altercation, biden misidentified one type of weapon while naming off the guns he owns which includes shotguns which he has used hunting with his sons. >> joining me now, msnbc correspondent heidi przybyla,

tell what about the arepresentation that biden is going to get today. >> today, biden is going to get a big boost from gabby giffords, the representative shot in the head, almost killed in 2011. and rose to create an entire movement around gun safety. this is significant for several reasons. first of all, arizona is one of the additional states that's going to be voting next week on tuesday. and it's also neighboring to nevada, where bernie sanders had made significant inroads with latino voters. that was a big change from 20 screen. so, she is a huge name there. and that is going to give him a lift that's going to undergird a lot of this momentum that we're seeing in these races. but secondly, it is significant, just because of what she stands for, with gun safety. this is an issue that really has been behind under the radar. not as front and center as it was in 2016. and the reason for that is because sanders tried to make

amends for some of his past positions on guns, including a 2005 law that shields gun manufacturers from liability. he really came under a lot of criticism for that in 2016. shifted positions and it's been kind of quiet up until now. but i talked to the executive director of gabby giffords' group peter ambler. and he said, despite that, it's not just the positions that matter, but the passion and the commitment to put this issue front and center. and that biden is somebody who's done that, really, from day one in his career. sanders hasn't talked about it as much on the campaign trail. if you've noticed, despite changing his position on guns. they believe biden is a person who is going to prioritize this important issue that we've seen really take off with all of the groups that sprung up behind gabby giffords and the aftermath

of what happened to her. and in the aftermath of newtown. all of these groups like mom demand action. and now with the parkland students. >> it is interesting, heidi, amidst all of this it hasn't been front and center. also important to note as well every town in the brady campaign also making an endorsement of the biden camp as well. >> right. >> wondering, of course, if he's going to make this part of the conversation if in fact he gets the nomination heading into the general election with regard to gun control measures. >> as we saw that heated exchange with that voter in michigan. it is on the minds of people. >> certainly is. >> those gun issues. >> and those suburban moms. it's a huge issue for them. >> nbc's heidi przybyla, great to see you. still ahead, joe biden is endorsed by yet another former presidential rival. plus, why jim clyburn of south carolina has called on the

dnc to shut down the primary process. your "first look" at "morning joe" is back in a moment. but in my mind i'm still 25. that's why i take osteo bi-flex, to keep me moving the way i was made to. it nourishes and strengthens my joints for the long term. osteo bi-flex - now in triple strength plus magnesium. my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates

my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity. the best of pressure cooking and air frying now in one pot, and with tendercrisp technology, you can cook foods that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

from the day you're born we never stop taking care of you. house majority w.h.i.p. james clyburn called on the democratic national committee to step in and shut down the primary process if joe biden wins big in the six states that were up for grabs yesterday. >> i think when the night is over, joe biden will be the prohibitive favorite to win the democratic nomination. and quite frankly, if the night ends the way it has begun, i thing it is time for us to shut this primary down. it is time for us to cancel the rest of these debates. because you don't do anything but get yourself in trouble if you continue this contest when it's obvious that the numbers will not shake out for you. >> so clyburn who endorsed biden

ahead of the primary also said that the dnc should, quote, step in, make an assessment to determine whether they should hold any more debates. >> also, andrew yang announcing his endorsement of joe biden. yang tweeted last night this, since i started running i always said i would support the democratic nominee. the math is clear, joe biden will be the nominee, and i'm glad to endorse him for president. joe knows how serious the north name six writing this, i was a brndz br bernie sanders supporter in 2016. i believe he's right in diagnosing a lot of what has gone wrong in the country. he is an inspiration for me. >> let's turn to the weather with meteorologist bill karins. >> good morning, guys.

i was thinking with the new realities with the forecasting and the coronavirus, the outdoor forecast is probably more important than ever. all of the indoor events being cancelled. people being outside, hiking, biking, fishing going could be skyrocketing with activities, especially with kids, you got to keep them entertained. today, we're watching showers in southern missouri. snow from lake michigan, for today's forecast, it's still extremely warm for this time of year. i mean, it's been goingology for so long, we kind of forget what it's supposed to be like. 82 degrees from san antonio to dallas. and 60s in detroit. and the tree pollen through the roof. heading up into the nation's capital. we still have a little stormy weather we're dealing with in southern california and nothing horrible. as far as the forecast tomorrow, more of the same, 85 in dallas tomorrow.

we will have thunderstorms to deal with in st. louis and chicago. had let's fast forward to the upcoming forecast. we're going to get an active weather pattern. winter is going to return. it's going to get colder in the midwest. mountain snow on friday. rainy and storm in areas of oklahoma and texas. also dealing with areas of rain in the northeast. only northern maine has a chance for snow. looking at the upcoming forecast, looks like a good saturday for much the eastern seaboard. florida looks good, too. the middle of the country, tennessee to areas west could be rain and snow. we'll keep an eye on areas like chicago and indianapolis. and on sunday, much colder on sunday and a big pacific storm we're going to deal with. yeah, outdoor activities will be tat a premium. you guys have young kids. you can't go indoors to those places. >> the more outside you are with

all right. joining us from axios, alexi. good morning? >> what is the one big thing for us? >> it's like we had a mini super tuesday of sorts last night in which joe biden cleaned house again. that's what's fascinating about this primary cycle, that just a few days ago, i mean, ten or so days ago before the south carolina primary end of last month, the conversation about bernie sanders and joe biden was how the democrats or various democrats were looking at bernie sanders heading into super tuesday with what they thought would be an accumulation of an insurmountable lead of delegates. that hasn't happened in the original super tuesday and last night that doesn't happen for bernie sanders again. we saw joe biden give remarks at the same time that bernie sanders didn't even give remarks after last night's contest, which i think says a lot about the way that he underperformed

last night after the previous to contests. and we saw how joe biden clearly pivoted to welcoming sanders supporters and the sanders campaign into his movement after he seen the way in which he's taking off with this thing. >> as we've heard, there has been appeals for sanders at this point to concede because there may not be a possible path forward for him. others would disagree with that. talk us through about the timing of all this and if there's a possibility that could feasibly happen. >> you know, i haven't heard much from the sanders campaign over the last 24 hours and i think that's in part because they are figuring out what their path forward looks like. now if we talk about a path forward in terms of just numbers and straight math, there might be some feasible path forward in some way if we stretch our brains. but realistically the delegate lead that biden has accumulated especially after last night, makes it really difficult to see a viable path forward for senator sanders in this primary. we know he's been fighting the pro progressive fight.

we saw warren drop out leaving bernie sanders as the person to carry the progressive mantel. but we've seen the way in which joe biden has carried the moderate vote. that's been a larger percentage of the democratic primary voters than those who identify as progressive. >> let me get your thoughts quickly on the sanders campaign in terms of where does it go from here? not necessarily trying to reach or make up a delegate count, but does him stay in the race give him letter raverage to get some platforms like medicare for all or some aspects of the green new deal or, you know, minute mum wag minimum wage or things like that or does he have to concede for the greater party unity? >> those are great questions. but when i talk to progressive leaders who were supportive of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren before she dropped out, they say that they would really love to see a debate just between biden and sanders this

sunday, which is obviously scheduled to happen right now. that would change if sanders dropped out. but they tell me that it's not because they think it will change the outcome of this race, but because, to your point, they want bernie to push biden on a few of these really staple progressive policies and ideas that he has as part of his platform and to see whether or not biden will move at all on some of these things that bernie has been championing. we're not going to see bind come out for medicare for all. we know where he stands on these big issues. but smaller things that bernie has been pushing that is more in line with the progressive wing of the party, there's a incentive for him to stay in through sunday to get joe biden to change some parts of his platform now that it looks like he could be presumptive nominee. >> but it's interesting how you say joe biden won't go to medicare for all because when you look at the exit polling, across the board in the states that voted last night along with super tuesday as well, many

americans do want medicare for all, inspect of the fact th all, in spite of the fact that they're voting for joe biden. >> that's one of the fascinating things that you mentioned from super tuesday, joe biden wins over voters who are supportive of a single-payer, government-run health care system. yet folks who are supportive of that are still flocking to joe biden, to your point, because they value unity and the ability to beat donald trump more than anything. and those are two things that joe biden has proven in the last couple of weeks alone that he's capable of pulling off. >> all right. thank you very much. we're going to be reading axios a.m. in just a little bit. you too can sign up for that newsletter by going to axios.com. >> that does it for us this morning.
