of yet more election contest tomorrow. people in four states, including michigan and mississippi, will choose their nominees tomorrow. brian mooar on capitol hill now with the latest on the race and bloomberg's announcement. brian? >> reporter: yeah, jim, and on that announcement within the last hour really takes away what is the last remaining question mark in this topsy-turvy race for the republican nomination and really for the white house itself. bloomberg said that he did not see a path to victory, only a role as a spoiler here, and he said, quote, as the race stands now with republicans in charge of both houses, there's a good chance that my candidacy could lead to the election of donald trump or senator ted cruz. that is not a risk i can take in good conscience. well, donald trump and hillary clinton are doing their best to try to make it through the next eight days. eight critical days which really could change the field here and that could

>> you know -- >> excuse me. >> reporter: after a hard hitting debate. >> he was against the auto bailout. >> reporter: bernie sanders accuses hillary clinton of distorting his record to win michigan tomorrow night. >> the only problem with her assertion is that it's categorically untrue. >> reporter: clinton leads sanders in delegates after splitting wins over the weekend. clinton says she's hoping her rival will get behind her if she wins the nomination. >> work with him the way that i supported president obama when i dropped out back in 2008. >> reporter: on the republican side, donald trump has a healthy but not yet insurmountable lead. john kasich says the fight isn't over until the delegate count reaches 1,237. >> go out and earn it. >> reporter: that's exactly what trump hopes to do demanding allegiance from supporters. >> raise your hand, i swear i'm going to vote for donald trump

illness, ted cruz battled for votes in mississippi. marco rubio is in survival mode with virtually no hopes of winning if he can't win his home state of florida. and michigan is tomorrow night's big delegate prize, but it's also a big test for donald trump to see how he might fare in the midwest. >> thank you. bernie sanders is also fending off criticism tonight for a comment he made about race in last night's debate. here is the question from cnn moderator don lemon and part of sanders' answer. >> senator sanders, on a personal front, what racial blind spots do you have? >> i would say, and i think it's similar to what the secretary said, when you're white, you don't know what it's like to be living in a ghetto. you don't know what it's like to be poor. you don't know what it's like to be hassled when you walk down the street or you get dragged out of the car. >> critics pointed out that not every african-american is poor and there are poor white

americans. sanders' attempt to clarify the comment was criticized as awkward. >> what i meant to say is when you talk about get tow traditionally is african-american communities. there's nobody on this campaign and occasionally you might want to write about it, nobody who has talked about poverty whether it's in the white community, the black community, or latino community more than i have. >> a "washington post" blogger noted this more than african-american voters accounted for 23% of michigan's democratic electorate in the 2008 primary and sanders is already trailing clinton in that constituency. maryland congressman john delaney, a democrat, is calling out the state's republican governor on where he stands on donald trump. on friday delaney told "the baltimore sun" that governor larry hogan should declare whether he would support trump if trump wins the gop presidential nomination. hogan initially supported new jersey governor chris christie's

christie suspended that campaign last month and then endorsed trump for president. hogan's office told news4 that christie remains the only candidate that the maryland governor has endorsed. police have now located the stolen car used in a murder at a busy bus stop in d.c. the suspects are still on the loose but police know whoever was driving had the keys. yesterday's shooting marks the sixth murder in southeast washington in just one month. news4's mark segraves is live now with that story. mark? >> reporter: good evening. police are looking for two suspects who were seen driving away from the scene in that honda odyssey. yesterday's murder has left this neighborhood on edge. >> we need the metro transit police out here on a daily basis, not just when something happens. >> reporter: it was just after 1:00 yesterday afternoon. multiple shots rang out as at least three people were at this bus stop. a d.c. woman in her

killed. another victim was shot more than once but his injuries are not life threatening. a third victim was hurt by flying glass. >> we don't believe that this was a random act of violence, but year investigating that. i don't think that these individuals involved were just riding around randomly shooting out of a vehicle. >> reporter: police say they recovered the getaway car a few blocks away from the murder scene. it was a gray honda odyssey with maryland tags. police are now trying to track down anyone who had access to the keys to that car. >> correct. >> reporter: the problem is church officials tell police there were lots of copies of the keys. several people had access to them. police say whoever had that car had the keys. the pastor tells me that the car was stolen right off of the lot. this most recent murder happened just steps away from where a local reporter charnice milton was gunned down as she was walking to a bus

now, the murder of charnice milton remains under investigation. no suspects in that case, just like this murder yesterday. lots of unanswered questions. police don't know if the shooters were targeting someone or even if the victims knew each other. eun, back to you in the studio. >> thank you. we have covered the charnice milton story since it happened last may. open the nbc washington app and search charnice milton. breaking news, a jury has ruled in favor of sportscaster erin andrews in her civil suit against a stalker and a hotel chain. the jurors found michael barrett and the owner of marriott at fault for a spying incident. barrett rented a room next to andrews and secretly recorded naked videos of her and then put them online. andrews was awarded $55 million in damages. here in

thanks, carol. tonight a lot of fans are buzzing about the end of rg3's career in washington. some said it's time for him to move on, but others wanted him to stay. >> because he went through a lot for the redskins. i mean, it meant a lot to me. i think he should still be a part of the redskins. >> rg3 is a good man. they should have kept him. >> that's the world we live in. either you produce or you go. so he didn't produce so he has to go. >> well, now that rg3 is no longer with the redskins, we want to know, do you think he will be successful playing for another team? here are the results from the poll. as you can see, a majority of you said yes. 65% said yes he will be successful. 35% said no. a lot of fans saying they wish him the best. flags are flying at half-staff at the capitol and across the country tonight in honor of first lady nancy reagan. today people in the district paid their respectsy

volunteer firefighters. now, i contacted the family of the child who was rescued. they issued a statement saying they feel terrible for the fallout experienced by these two firefighters. writes the father, the actions of these men represent a dedication to their mission and a deep concern of doing what is best for the people they are serving. in our eyes they are heroes. vance, it seems like for a lot of folks in stafford county and around this country, they agree with this assessment. >> indeed, it does seem that way. thanks, julie. a last-ditch effort by pepco and exelon so save their merger. they ask the public service commission to reconsider the conditions that it put on the merger last month. the power company officials warn a failure to act threatens to, in fact, derail the merger. some civic groups and city leaders told our tom sherwood that the commission should not approve the deal. >> it's still a bad deal, tom. it started as

by next few days 70s, even close to 80 degrees on thursday. we will fall back into the weekend, but we're still going to be about five to ten degrees above average even with some chances for rain moving up. so high temperatures tomorrow 69 in gaithersburg. 71 frederick. 69 back towards winchester and laplata coming in around 71 degrees. if you're getting outj6, there maybe riding the bike, looking good for that. doing a little exercise, 57 by 9:00 a.m. fake a lunch outdoors tomorrow. 72 on tuesday. 76 on wednesday. 78 on thursday. now, that would tie a record, a record that has stood all the way since 2006. a very warm march 10th as well. 78 degrees with that record. 69 degrees on friday. we do cool towards the weekend. i'll have much more on the weekend forecast including which day has a better chance for rain coming up in just a couple minutes, but just take a look at that. >> time to krarng up the

surgy. we'll tere this is the xfinity sports desk brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. >> so let's begin with the fact that nobody was surprised by this, right? >> nobody. we were expecting it since the beginning of the season. here is my show. completely blank because i figured it's the last time we're going to get a chance to talk about him. i'm wondering your reaction when you heard the news. >> okay. remember that game, the last playoff game that he played, his body went one way and his legs went flopping all over the other way. first thing on my mind as i mentioned to you before was joe theismann when l.t. put that hit

on joe and it was like just g >> don't show it. thanks a lot. >> we don't need to see that again. but anyway it was a career ender for joe. i don't think that's a career ender for -- >> do you think -- >> he'll play again. >> do you think he's going to be successful? we had a poll today, 65% of the folks who responded to our nbc washington poll said they they he'll be successful. >> he's going to have to change his game. he was running a whole lot and they wanted him to be more of a pocket passer and it did not work for him. if he can do that, because he can't run anymore. we already established that. if he can become that pocket passer -- >> i saw him moving faster this year and he has a chip on his shoulder. he worked so hard. he wants redemption. >> when we came here, it was the second coming. we invested all of our emotions. he was going to change the team, change the franchise, change this entire city. >> so there's a lesson, don't mortgage the farm, don't north

gage the >> robert is a competitor and i think he will be a probably more than adequate quarterback. i don't think anybody will ever see the rg3 that came here in that first year. >> he's going to need support. >> that was just remarkable. going to change a lot of different things. >> i have a couple numbers. do you want to see them? up and down career as you talked about. the three years he was on the field, 3,200 yards and setting an nfl rookie rushing record, of course. then coming off that knee injury in 2013, 3-10 as a starter. threw for 16 touchdowns, 12 picks. here is where i thought he would make a comeback, 2014, week two he had an ankle injury. he came back and went 2-7. this year only dressed for the one game and that was the saddest thing for me is to see him not even dressed game after game. he looked like a little puppy on the sideline. >> and you have to give him a lot of credit for this last season in terms of how he

handled all of that. because w most of all he didn't talk. >> see -- >> i think one of the problems -- robert did contribute to his own problems here with all of that attention that he quite frankly drew to himself. you remember early on i was saying, robert, stop talking. you don't need to say anything. >> i didn't want the lasting image to be him cleaning out his locker though. i don't want that to be the lasting image of him with the redskins. he meant so much to so many people. >> which is why you asked him the question. do you want to say anything? and i texted him a couple times too. but no thank you. >> 80 yards or something like that? that was marvelous, and nobody could catch him. nobody. >> now i'm just going to move on a little bit because the redskins are making a number of moves today. not returning fullback dorell young. he spent 17 seasons with the redskins. i did reach out to him today. we did text. he's going to be shopped around. he does definitely want to

continue playing said if they called him. >> one of the great guys in the community. >> and then pot roast, that was sad news. >> love pot roast. >> finally, some news we have to acknowledge it is the end of the era for peyton manning. he made it official. >> one of a kind. >> in an emotional prepared speech in denver. >> there's something about 18 years, 18 is a good number, and today i retire from pro football. when i look back on my mfl career, i'll know without a doubt i gave everything i had to help my teams walk away with a win. there were other players who were more talented, but there was no one who could outprepare me. and because of that, i have no regrets. >> he thanked everybody he's ever come in contact with today. he's also rooting for rookies to break his record of interceptions. >> because you know the term

superstar? >> that's a superstar. >> class act all the way through. that's our broadcast for now.
