breaking news tonight. super tuesday. 12 states up for grabs. a dramatic night in the race for ident. "nbc nightly news" begins right now. >> announcer: decision super tuesday. this is "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. and good evening. as we come on live in the pacific time zone, we're at our electionadquarters in new york on this super tuesday, a night that could be the tipping point in both the republican and democratic races for the nomination. 12 states are in play tonight. polls have now closed in several of those states. let's go right to the boards. first to arkansas wher a few seconds ago.

trump is leading but too close to call actually. too close to call in republican side. on the democratic side in arkansas, hillary clinton is the projected winner in arkansas. else we've been watching here tonight. in alabama, let's go to the republican race. alabama, projected winner is donald trump.assachusetts now. donald trump is the projected winner. in tennessee right now, donald trump the projected winner. and georgia, again, donald trump the projected winner as he do well in the south. let's look at the virginia virginia, rubio and trump seem to be battling it out. in vermont in the republican race, right now it's too close to calloklahoma, too early to call in the republican primary.

democratic races as we know them. alabama, hillary clinton is the d winner. we move to tennessee right now, where again another win for clinton. in georgia, it's going to be clinton the projected winner in georgia. and then we move up to virginia, and again hillary clinton the inner there. in vermont, bernie sanders' home state, he is the projected winner. sanders wins vermont. massachusetts democratic primary right now, too early to call this one. we'll continue to watch that one. oklahoma, the same story there. too early to call this between clinton and bernie sanders. we have got a lot to get to, a lot to talk about. our team is in place. let's start with the trump campaign and s katy tur in palm beach. >> reporter: hello, lester. so far an outright win for donald trump in four out of the 11 states. magine that the campaign is feeling good right now, hearing nbc news

also doing well across voting blocs in many those states as he was doing in south carolina and new hampshire and in nevada. the campaign using their preferred method of communication,nald trump tweeting a thank you to all of those states. just take a look at the maps, and consider this. he's now won in theh with new hampshire and massachusetts, in the south with south carolina, alabama, tennessee, georgia, and in the west with nevada. his support is cuttingss this country, defying expectations, defying the popular sentiment that a northerner, a new yorker, can't well in the south, that they would be unpopular. donald trump proving that not to be the case. but it has been a dramatic week for thendidate as it's been for the entire campaign. trump refusing to immediately condemn the kkk over the weekend. that drew a lot of criticism from his opponents, a lot ofiticism from the republican establishment, and a lot of criticism from the democrats. the campaign now

to the general election and promisinghey're going to continue to hit hillary clinton. lester. >> katy, with trump marching through this night with victories as many suspected, most suspenseful thing could be the race for second place. marco rubio and ted cruz are competing to be the face of the ffort within their party. nbc's hallie jackson is at ted cruz's headquarters in stafford, texas. hello, hallie. >> hear behind me this crowd is ready for a celebration, and the cruz campaign feels they will get one, at least here in texas. a campaign aidesentially predicting a win, telling me within the last hour that they will win texas and, quote, come out of the night as h the sufficient foundation to destroy -- feeling good in texas, thinking that could be enough to move on,viously picking up a win in a place like arkansas or oklahoma is beneficial. nbc calling the oklahoma primary as you know, on the

call, but ted cruz leading. >> hallie jackson, thanks very much. we're joined by nbcws political analyst nicole wallace. nicole, talk about the depth of the split right now in the republican party, especially watching those trump stack up tonight. >> it couldn't be more profound. i've been on these campaigns and when you utter the words too close to call, it breathes life into those campaigns for either a strong second place or an upset. that is the position that the kasich campaign is in in vermont, that the rubio campaign is in in virginia, a the cruz campaign, they think they're going to have some wins in texas, but they're hoping for others. when you say too close to ul ca, that breathes hope into those campaigns, but i've got to tell you, donald trump's dominance is stunning, particularly in a week where he's been dogged by questions about the kkk. >> we have talked about this in terms of this being a three-way race. tomorrow going forward, will it still be? >> it will be because nobody's getting out. just by these races

to call, they'll have enough life. they'll have enough oxygen to keep going. as you said, this is tonight shaping up to be another chapter in a story and a historically divided republican party. turning now to the democratic race where nbc is projecting a number of wins for hillary clinton with her only loss so far tonight in vermont. bernie sanders home state. team clinton hoping tonight this is the beginning of the end for sanders. our andrea mitchell is at clinton headquarters in miami. andrea, what's the mood there? >> reporter: the mood here is ebullient. they're waiting for hillary clinton. she is on her way, we are told. she was at an event with black women, which is part of her strategy to appeal to minorities, and she is so far winning those states with her southern firewall, winning overwhelmingly with that african-american vote and particularly the older vote. she had the mother of tray von martin with her here today in florida. she has been very active with the mothers of victims of

african-american young victims of gun violence. that has become one of her themes, going against bernie sanders, who as she points out five times voted against the brady bill. that is one of her signature issues. that said, going forward, you can see a change in the tone. she is not going to be as tough on bernie sanders, and they haven't been of course as personal as the republicans have been, but she's already pivoting to a campaign that she is anticipating against donald trump as the most likely republican nominee. she went after him again in a more subtle way tonight, telling these african-american women that they have to elevate the level of the political dialogue, be kinder, be more gentle. she is trying to create the contrast between what she is proposing and what you're hearing from the republican side, particularly donald trump. the clintons know this is going to be a very tough campaign if she is the democratic nominee, and is likely, donald trump is the republican nominee, because he is so unconventional. he doesn't follow the
