barriers and build -- build ladders of opportunity and empowerment. >> and clinton also lashed out at the gop accusing the party of turning its back on working and middle class americans. >> let's get more insight on this incredible night at the polls from the key state of texas. >> our own abc's marci gonzalez is live for us at this early morning hour in austin, texas. marci, a big night, no doubt, as we mentioned for hillary clinton in texas as well as other southern states. but this really wasn't a complete slam-dunk. >> reporter: no, it really wasn't. it was a fairly good night for bernie sanders. he won as expected in his home state of vermont but he also is projected to pick up three more wins in oklahoma, colorado, also one other state, sanders points out though these are not winner take all contests. so even in the states where he didn't win, he is still going to pick up some delegates. he's moving forward with

well with fund-raising. in february, he raised about $42 million. that's twice as much as the clinton campaign in january. kendis and reena. >> incredible. he has been raising a lot of money. but what is his campaign saying there tonight? >> reporter: they are undeterred by clinton's success last night saying they're moving forward, they're taking this campaign all the way to the convention. >> and talking about hillary clinton once again, i believe she was in florida last night for her victory speech. it is a big day ahead for her. what's next? >> reporter: right. so as you mentioned shy is looking ahead to these next big primaries. she was in florida last night. their primary coming up march 15th. but tomorrow a busy day. she's heading your way with two events in new york city. >> all right. abc's marci gonzalez live for us in as youtive, texas, at this early morning hour. marci, thank you

findings we should point out from the exit polls. a good gauge of how voters are feeling. when asked should the next president come from outside the political establishment, 50% of republicans said yes. only 15% of democrats agree with that. >> and on the flipside, when you asked should the next president have experience, 81% of the dems in blue there said yes, and 39% of republicans in red, they said they want someone with political experience. keep it right here for more super tuesday election coverage and analysis. we'll check inning with marco rubio's campaign, that's later this half hour. we're going to move onto the politically charged battle over the supreme court nominee. despite a meeting with the president on tuesday, republican leaders don't appear to have changed their minds. they are standing by their commitment to not consider a new justice until after the election in november. democratic leader harry reid joked that the group spent a lot of time talking about basketball.

>> and another high profile showdown, this one between the fbi and apple playing out during hearings on capitol hill. fbi director james comey and apple clashing over whether the computer giant should comply with the judge's order to hack into one of the san bernardino shooter's iphones. >> the fbi is asking apple to weaken the security of our products. hackers and cybercriminals could use this to wreak havoc on our privacy and personal safety. >> there's already a door on that phone. essentially we're asking apple take the vicious guard dog away. let us rye and pick the lock. >> the director admitted it was a mistake when the fbi asked the county which owned the phone to reset the password. for farook's icloud account. had the password not been reset, the phone may have made a fresh backup available to investigators. >> the nation's largest electric company says it's coming under increasing cyberattack, much of it from hackers backed by foreign governments.

apparently it's 3.2% alcohol by volume. so it's a light beer. >> 3.2? that's not even like a good belgian ale. >> i'd try it. >> a few of them standing out there. coming up in "the skinny," some new pictures of britney spears, and i want to see if you'll be able to recognize her. >> that's a tease. also ahead, returning to our super tuesday coverage with a look inside marco rubio's campaign after a night that really belonged to donald trump. >> and later, making history. this morning, astronaut scott kelly who just arrived back on earth after a record-setting mission. that is after our forecast map showing snow in the plains and western new york. you're watching "world news now."

returning to our top story, blowout wins for donald trump and hillary clinton. the front runners swept the south picking up a big share of delegates. bernie sanders won in four states. ted cruz clinched his home state and oklahoma. and after a week of firing off bruising insults at trump, marco rubio picked up his first victory in minnesota. >> as for marco rubio, he's holding a campaign event today in michigan. rubio and the other republicans are preparing for tomorrow's debate which will take place in detroit. >> the florida senator is expected to continue hammering away at the front-runner donald trump of course, just as he did last night in miami. abc's linsey davis was there. >> reporter: good morning, reena and kendis. marco rubio manages to get his first win. he's now 1 for 15. but you certainly couldn't tell

tonight. he was energetic. he was upbeat. the crowd equally so. one of the first words out of his mouth, donald trump. he called him a con artist. he said, look, state by state, the polls show that donald trump's numbers are going down and ours are going up. he said pundits want to call me an underdog. i'll accept that because we are a country of underdogs and we will win. evers very optimistic looking forward to the florida primary which is just two weeks away. 99 delegates at stake. a winner-take-all state. he says i know how to win in florida. interestingly the polls show donald trump is actually favored to win here. reena and kendis? >> that's the striking thing. if he loses on march 15th in florida, many are saying that they don't see how he can have a path to go forward. >> there was actually a very conservative influenceal group in florida today saying they are likely going to endorse ted cruz. how much of a blow coo that be to his campaign. there are people talking he could be put in for th

so there's already buzz about that but how long can he stay in? people waiting to find out. >> one of the things rick klein who we're going to have in one of the half hours was mentioning that it really was an awful night for marco rubio. for one thing, in texas, he might not have won a single delegate. the same story possible in tennessee and oklahoma. they're still counting but if he didn't make that 20% threshold, he might not have picked up a single delegate in those states. that's really a big deal. >> exit polls showing what republicans want is someone with a fresh set of eyes more of an outsider, not a washington insider, someone who's been entrenched in the political system like marco rubio perhaps. >> in the meantime it, i should point out that the new york daily news, speaking about trump, the headline this morning simply reads "make america migrate." clearly they're not a fan. they say the complete guide to escape america if trump should win. >> coming up, a celebrity photoshop controversy. >> plus, why britney spears says
