trump. florida senator marco rubio know wins yet. he might get minnesota for first within tonight. he still has grabbed a bunch of delegates with some especially in virginia, which is place where he nearly matched trump. here speaking to home town rally in miami rubio says his attacks on trump are making a difference. policies. we're seeing and state after state his numbers coming down. our numbers going up.

precincts reporting. so a tight race but again hillary clinton the projected winner. clinton and bernie sanders already talking about tonight's early results. for that's let's go to kimberly bookman so she can share what they were saith tonight. this really has nail biter all night long. we've watching the results come in here in massachusetts. and now with this latest win for hillary clinton, she continues to lead the way. the senator from vermont thakings his home state for giving his first win of this super tuesday. it is good to be home. as returns come in sanders also collects oklahoma while his rival second terry hillary clinton stacks up six other states. >> at the end of tonight, 15 states will have voted 35 states remain. and let me assure you, that we are going to take our fight to every one of those states. but his attention squarely on the future.

different that is from the gop front runner. do not allow the donald trumps of the world to divide us up. clinton talks to supporters in florida while never mentioning trump by name she goes right after him as well. >> america never stopped being great. we have to make america whole. after many states in south with large minority populations including arkansas, where she was once first lady, clinton talks about her strategy going forward. instead of building walls we're going to breakdown barriers. the stakes in this election have never been higher. and the rhetoric we're hearing on the other side has never been lower. now clinton mentioned president obama three times while speaking hoping to an appeal to his supporters she also brought up her visit to boston old meeting house on monday and made an appeal for donations. live in control room kimberly bookman, 7 news night team. all right so we've established big night forefront runners how

wins for donald trump and hillary clinton moving forward now? andy hiller joins us no to you breakdown early results. watching all returns come in i kept think about something bernie sanders said this evening this campaign is no the about electing a president it's about transforming america. and tonight america was politically transformed. you can't miss the republican change, but the democrats are changing too. tonight for all intents and purposes donald trump completed his hostile take over of the gop. ted cruz got texas and oklahoma, marco rubio may win minnesota and florida two weeks from tonight, but given trumping super, super tuesday, the donald is now in the waiting room for the gop nomination. which leaves republican establishment without a candidate who proven able to beat trump nationally. so the only way left for the party to block trump is a brokered convention that would split it even further apart.

donald trump is the new face of the grand old party. for democrats hillary clinton is now the nominee in waiting. no matter how long bernie sanders stays in the race. but sanders campaign has exposed clinton's weaknesses. particularly among young voters and some women. to them she represents the old way, and they wanted something new too. now the question is, how enthusiastically will sanders supporters back hillary clinton in november. my guess is not very. and here's another guess, if it does turn out to be clinton versus trump in the general election, then we're headed for nastiest campaign we've ever seen. the mother of nasty campaigns. i know we've seen dirty before, but nothing like we're going to see. live in the room i'm andy hiller. all right we'll all be watching right now we're watching where delegate count stands. here's look at the numbers on

with 221, ted cruz with 69, and marco rubio has 41. you need 1236 to win the republican nomination. on the democratic side hillary clinton has 883 delegates now to bernie sanders's 232. and you can see there on the bottom of the screen it takes 2382 delegates for a democrat to win. here in massachusetts, former president bill clinton visited polls in west roxbury and new bedford today helping hillary and we did receive dozens of emails from concerned voters about the former president being too close to polling stations. they said it made it difficult to vote in new bedford. so we reached out to secretary of state and he tells us that the problem in ned bedford was parking no one had trouble voting& that former president election laws. stay with 7 news on air and online for latest voice your choice coverage. you can all get updates at www.whdh.com and seven news

this storms going to our west. warm air winds, your storm time line for morning commute you'll need rain gear and make sure that rain can withstand wind because i do think winds tomorrow morning between 20 and 30 miles per hour, even occasionally gusting over 40 miles per hour. few hours. it's a fast moving weather system, why we got the wind. so we move it out of here quickly. i think we can get rain out 10 or 11 o'clock tomorrow morning by noon shows over. sunshine comes back. and it will still be windy even throughout afternoon winds tomorrow afternoon between 25 and 35 miles per hour along the coastline. continuing to gust 30 to 35 miles per hour. the number will go down though from the morning. temperatures tomorrow morning in upper 50s, 2 o'clock tomorrow after noon. upper 30s and evening commute. going to feel like winter blues reand cold. thursday, lots of sunshine, but a cold day. high temperatures on thursday only in the upper 20s to the low 30s. and then on friday, we have to watch another storm, now this storm may actually have some cold air to play with.

that the bulk of the precipitation the storm track itself is too far to the south of us to make this a major event. so right now we'll say just some patchy light snow and flurries around metro boston on friday. a coating to an inch possible in some locations. including the city. and then as you get closer to the storm track, closer to the cape, the south coast, and out on to cape itself, one, two, maybe as much as 3 inches of snow during the day on friday. but again if that storm track shifts even farther south we will take snowflake away. in any event your weekend forecast saturday mostly sunny skies. near 40. sunday a lot of clouds. an um koff flurries. and it's march so you go from snow flurries on friday to 60s next week. have a good night. thank you so much. you too, jvrment rvrment when we come back we'll go back live to west newton to get an update on that situation and also the latest super tuesday results.
