and i think what we'll see amara is he's going to continue to focus on african american voters. he's going to continue to focus on hispanic voters. the question is, is he really going to be able to make up that gap in support between what hillary clinton has and what he has. we're a week from south carolina. a week and change from march 1st and then other key states march 15th. so this called all move very quickly here in the next few months but he's obviously moving forward towards south carolina, looking to pick up some support there. really one of the issues though for him was that he was banking on a win in nevada so he could say look, i have two. she only has one. bracing for a defeat in south carolina which seems almost imminent here and then he was going to try to pick up some delegates but probably hillary clinton would pick up more for super tuesday. so you can see this puts a little bit of a dent in some of the math his campaign was banking on. >> brianna keilar, great having you. thanks so much for that. >>> and at 9:00 a.m. eastern, a special state of the union today
