we got some of that beto o'rourke charm back.et's point come in the democratic primary this issue plays very well. when beto spoke after the el paso shooting, when he spoke so personally and eloquently about this issue he had moral credibility inside the party on an issue that many democrats care about and vote on. >> i think the biggest thing that biden has said that will get in trouble and a general election is this comment about eliminating fossil fuels. the cut states like salina, wisconsin, michigan, that's not going to play there. if joe biden ends up in a general election he's trying to run on a moral high ground so you have to figure out how to deny him that. i think the corruption angle plays into it. or even comments about poor kids being just as bright as white kids and come as made about 7-eleven, those comments don't play well. if you are running against joe biden you have to figure out a way to deny him that a moral high ground and muddy the wate waters. >> bret, you know everybody has a number of surrogates. i'm th

look how well beto did. beto didn't lose because beto didn't get his votes, he got the votes he thought he was going to get. >> the republican side, yes. >> the republican turnout operation in texas is extraordinary. it will be extraordinary across the country. >> he did well against a candidate that a lot of people didn't like, ted cruz. it would be different if he was running against somebody that was loved in that way. >> although it is striking to me, when you look at the polling, in the case of texas, there has been this crazy shift of the conventional wisdom about trump's strength that happened post-impeachment which his polling average went up like 1.5 points and everyone was like, he's an income inability colossus, why run against him? it's over. there was a poll this week that had elizabeth warren beating donald trump in texas. >> yes. >> this week. >> yes. >> if the shoe were on the other foot, if sarah palin were beating barack obama in 2012 in massachusetts, people -- democrats would have freaked

amy klobuchar, pete buttigieg and beto o'rourke.have never seen them drop out so quickly and rally around one candidate, so is former president obama playing a role in this? we know that pete buttigieg for example spoke to obama before he came out and said he was in fact going to announce joe biden. what will the impact be here in states like california? this obviously has the biggest delegate haul, hallie. senator sanders looking very strong here. but if biden can get above that 15% threshold, if he can get delegates that would be significant for him. same as texas. he wants a win in the south. look, he's the one who can lead the top of the ticket because he can rally a diverse electorate. will that hold today? those are among the questions we're looking for and of course the x-factor in all of this, michael bloomberg. we know that moderate candidates are turning up the heat on bloomberg to get oat of the race and he said he won't do that. i snow josh has more about that, but bottom line, how will he do today? will he eat into any

amy: that was beto o'rourke and before that, senator amy klobuchar. nbc is reporting that while barack obama is not formally endorsing any candidate at this stage, he has been speaking to biden and other moderate democrats -- including pete buttigieg on sunday, the day he dropped out of the race. a slew of other democrats have also endorsed joe biden following his south carolina win, including former senate majority leader harry reid, and former national security adviser under president obama susan rice who also endorsed biden. on monday, bernie sanders responded to a reporter asking if he believed buttigieg dropped out of the race as part of an effort t to stop sanders' path o the nomination. what theno secret, but washington post" has 16 articles a day on this, there is a massive effort trying to stop bernie sanders. that is not a secret to anyone in this room. amy: president trump has also said in recent days the democratic party is rigging the election against sanders. meanwhile, the nation magazine has endorsed bernie sanders. they write -- "bern

part of the reason for that is beto o'rourke. back in 2018, he ran against ted cruz for a senate seat. it came within two or three them. of unseating run decent candidates in texas, there is a real chance we can put up real competition. they also think it is not beyond the realm of possibility given -- texas coulder actually flip. that would be of shattering in american politics. suddenly you have a whole lot of electoral college votes going behind the democratic candidate. that is all much farther down the line. let's see what is happening tonight. we think joe biden has got within one or two points of bernie sanders. what we might see in the next couple of days if that is the case and there is this concerted effort to stop bernie, people going to elizabeth warren on the progressive side of the democratic party, she shares many of the ideas that bernie sanders shares. elizabeth, you're not going to win, you will not get the nomination. perhaps now is the time to drop out and give your support to bernie sanders. that is not guara

finally just a little while ago, just within the last hour or so, we learned that texas congressman beto o'rourke will also endorse vice president joe biden tonight. congressman o'rourke, of course, ended his own presidential bid in november before the first votes were cast. tonight, after pete buttigieg already endorsed joe biden, and as amy klobuchar heads to joe biden's dallas rally for a show of unity there, we expect that congressman o'rourke will also appear onstage at that rally in dallas to deliver his support to vice president biden. so like i said, big day. and you go back to the beginning of this. this was a big enough democratic presidential field, there were enough democrats running from the very beginning, that we knew we were going to see a gazillion of them drop out of the race at one time or another. but dropping out is one thing. dropping out and then endorsing a rival candidate in a still very fluid democratic contest, that's another thing altogether. and dropping out, endorsing another candidate, then campaigning for that candidate you just endorsed onstage with him o

who were in the race until basically now all just endorsed joe biden just like that, amy klobuchar, beto o'rourke and pete buttigieg. a number of people in the political world have lined up behind biden after just one win. this is all since south carolina saturday night. we will see if there's any impact on this today or maybe it's exactly what bernie sanders wants, to be able to say, look, the entire so-called establishment is against me. remember more than 3 million people have already voted in super tuesday states. >> >>> now to a coronavirus update. six people have died from the virus in washington state and there are now more than 100 cases in the united states. the trump administration is warning the number of cases will rise. >>> we are also following breaking news, this is a powerful trnld that has torn through the nashville area early this morning, you can see it on your screen. at least two people are dead and the damage is extensive. schools in nashville are closed this morning. we have a team on the way to the scene this have developing story. let's begin our coverage with cn

there is also beto o'rourke, a former candidate who dropped out earlier in the race, who also came out in support. the question is really how much of this is going to help him win some of these super tuesday states. it is not just the support and the appearance of electability that it gives him. it is also the actual numbers. in some states, like in minnesota for example, , the hoe state of amy klobuchar, that could mean for joe biden the difference between not winning any delegates or winning some delegates. the key for joe biden -- everyone still thinks bernie sanders is going to come out ahead in number of delegates. the question is whether joe the distance with bernie sanders, and that really means he needs to win delegates in as many states as possible. it is looking like it is going to be the south for joe biden. maybe big states like california and texaxas for bernie sanders. but the midwest and the northeast are very tricky for joe biden, and that is where we might see a big push, thanks to those candidates who came out in support -- the midwesterners like buttigieg and klobuch

and we're doing well in texas because of beto o'rourke.was so proud, so incredibly proud to have mayor pete's endorsement, as well. there's the man of character and courage. and i was proud to be endorsed by jim clyburn, man, he is something else. look, our campaign reflects the diversity of this party and this nation. and that's how it should be. because we need to bring everybody along, everybody! we want a nominee who will beat donald trump. but also, also keep nancy pelosi as speaker of the house. win back the united states senate. if that's what you want, join us. if you want a nominee who is a democrat, a life-long democrat, a proud democrat, an obama-biden democrat, join us! look, this all starts with the rh revival of decency, honor, and character. president trump has fanned the flames of hate and sought to divide us. he's insulted, demonized, and actually just the way he talks about people. he has not a single sense of empathy. he doesn't have any compassion. no regard for the values that made this country who we are. not the way

three former rivals, pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar, and beto o'rourke endorsed him last night. biden is trying to make this a two-person race against senator bernie sanders. and voters will decide if 14 states include -- in 14 states including texas, california, and one u.s. territory. more than 1,300 delegates will be awarded today, more than one-third of the overall total. ed o'keefe is at a voting place in arlington, virginia, another state on the map today. good morning. why are these endorsements so significant? >> reporter: good morning. we're at a high school where there's been a steady stream of voters. endorsements are a signal that at least some moderate democrats are beginning to coalesce around biden who's hoping they give him a big boost as he tries to surpass vermont senator bernie sanders. >> we are better than this president, and so get up! let's take back this country! >> reporter: former vice president joe biden is riding a fresh wave of support. >> i'm delighted to endorse and support joe biden for president.

( laughter ) >> stephen: for a reason? are his grandkids named after things he needs

does beto help? >> he got more votes statewide than any democrat in the history of texas, more than 4 million votes. even the democrats were looking to take back the texas house are benchmarking against how beto o'rourke did in many of the house districts. in some ways, his involvement in the race helps the democrats' case, trying to look back to 2018 and magic he was able to pull off there. look, it is late for endorsements to come. yesterday, i appreciate where manny and emmy are coming from, a lot of early votes were cast before his come back in south carolina. he has to crush it on election day to offset what might have been big sanders turnout among early votes. what's interesting, chris, we literally don't know sitting here middle of the day primary day who will be the winner in texas. i can't think of a lot of election cycles we could say that. >> one of the questions is money. he got some money, biden had money coming in. bernie in almost all states had a bigger infrastructure, we haven't men

then saturday night, mayor pete, then amy and then beto. the earned media was so val ulk to joe biden because he had no money. heed not been on tv. people don't realize how extraordinary tonight is. no field offices, no tv budget. >> no campaign. >> he literally spent $0 in minnesota. $0. obviously bloomberg thought he could contest against klobuchar. he spent $11 million. sanders spent there, too. >> bloomberg, the dog that has not barked. >> hello, american samoa. >> i read a lot of pieces and talked to a lot of people who said, you don't understand how smart these guys are. >> you and me both. >> they have all the talent in the world. the greatest algorithms. this sounds like people i talked to on wall street when i talked to them in 2007, 2008. these are the smartest guys in the room. they have it figured out. i don't think meebl has a path. i don't think that's going to happen. maybe you're seeing the smartest guys don't have a path. >> not just bloomberg. one of the things we have to talk about is what does elizabeth warren do going f

[cheers and applause] brian: maybe beto can deliver texas.g lying face pony soldier you will not win election and when he said that while telling people prior to that don't vote for me when they challenged him about some of his policies, you could not be running a worst campaign and even after getting these endorsements he doesn't even know come off as strong campaigner. ainsley: brian, i'm sure they are saying oh, my goodness. they put their hope on bloomberg and he did so bad on debate stage. steve: joe biden, that's the way he talks. he makes up things like that. you are at home trying to put words into his mouth as we all try to -- >> ainsley: entertaining. steve: here are things that joe biden said that were, well, gaffish in houston. >> i warned you i was coming back and i'm back. i'm back. [cheers and applause] >> look, tomorrow is super thursday -- tuesday and i want to thank you all. i tell you what, i'm rushing ahead, aren't i? >> we hold truths are self-evident, all men -- you know the thing, you know how we talk about it. we the p

and so that's why i'm so pleased with mayor pete, with amy, with beto and now with mike bloomberg for getting out of the race and coalescing around joe biden. i would hope that we can hurry up and get out of this contest and focus on restoring this country to its rightful place in the world and restoring every person within this country into their rightful place inside of our democracy. >> congressman, what can mike bloomberg bring to joe biden? you criticized joe biden's organization, the way the campaign was being run. can bloomberg help there or will it only lead to more criticism from bernie sanders and other critics? >> i used the word "criticism" in the broad sense. a lot of people make it a negative. let's say i made a critique of his campaign. and i really believe, as i said later, that a lot of what was wrong could be cured with finances and i wanted those people who wanted him to win and their funders standing on the sidelining trying to see if he would win, he was in a catch-22. we needed to have fund-raising beefed-up. and so that happened within, i guess, 24 hours of the

[ speaking foreign language ] ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow, march 3, 2020, i will be casting me ballot for joe biden. it's the right thing to do. let me tell you why. we need somebody who can beat donald trump. the man in the white house today poses an existential threat to this country. to democracy. to free and fair elections. and we need somebody who can beat him and in joe biden we have that man. we have someone who is the antithesis of donald trump. joe biden is decent, he's kind, he's caring, he's empathetic. i don't know if you saw this last week, the vice president was at a town hall in south carolina. and dr. r

we are doing well in texas because of beto o'rourke. [applause] proud, soy i am so incredibly proud to have mayor pete's endorsement as well. [applause] there is a man of character and courage. by the way, i was proud to be endorsed by jim clyburn. man, he is something else. [applause] our campaign reflects the diversity of this party and this nation, and that is how it should be, because we need to bring everybody along. everybody. we want a nominee who will beat donald trump. but also keep nancy pelosi the speaker of the house. [cheers and applause] win back the u.s. senate. as fast as you want -- if that is what you want, join us. if you want a nominee who is a democrat, a lifelong democrat, a proud democrat, an obama-biden ,ark rutte, join us -- democrat join us. this all starts with the revival of decency, honor and character. trump has fanned the flames of hate and salt to divide us. --has insulted, demonized to divide us.t he has insulted, demonized, the way he talks about people. he doesn't have any empathy, compassion. no regar

beto's endorsement did help.ost: there are stories in the paper today talking about parts of texas and as people look at texas trending blue. is this something you are seeing on the ground as a member of the democratic party? caller: yes, yes, pedro. i used to live in a large suburban county north of dallas. now there are democrats willing in thefor judicial races largest county in the state with zero elected democrats. that is how much it has changed. republicans know it. i have heard john cornyn say over and over, do not take texas for granted. you are right. people are seeing what is happening, especially in the suburbs. it is a true battleground as more people move from california or more moderate states, the republicans see what is happening. host: one of the decisions that will be made today is if there will be a democratic challenger to john cornyn. has that been settled in your mind? yes, i am voting for mj hagar. she is a veteran. she has raised the most money. she will be a strong candidate. the other c

three former rivals, pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar, and beto o'rourke.o what do we see in the state of play? it's now a four-way race. you've got sanders and biden. then the two other candidates looking to take them down, bloomberg and warren. this is dramatic lead up to primaries in 14 states all across the country. you're going to have voters in all different types of time zones and socio-economic slices going to give their verdict. now, like i said, it's not just about doing well at the polls now. it's about delegates. 1300 delegates on the line for super tuesday. that's about a third of all the delegates up for grabs this primary season. you cannot understate or overstate the importance here. this is where the delegate race stands right now. sanders and biden currently in fairly close competition. warren trailing. buttigieg, klobuchar, they have some delegates. will they -- with all those people go over to biden? we'll see. that will come convention time. but they're certainly rallying behind biden. so let's go to arlette saenz. she is at the joe bid

and beto o'rourke came out to remind people he still exists. i was the guy who dropped the f bombs!ou don't have to be a genius to notice that the democratic party is at a crossroads. on one side, bernie's revolution. on the other side, biden's return to normalcy. some people fear this could be a rift that destroys the democrats and donald trump wants to do his part to make sure that happens. >> i think it was rigged against bernie, but maybe he'll pull it through. it was rigged against me four years ago and i pulled it through. i think it's rigged against bernie. buttigieg just went out and said something, and probably they'll say, hey, if i win, i'll put you in the administration. that's called quid pro quo, right? quid pro quo. >> trevor: yeah, something tells me the only thing trump learned from the entire ukraine scandal was the phrase quid pro quo. it's almost like trump has one of the word of the day calendars but every word is a crime he personally committed. if you ask me this whole nomination is being em-bez-ellpd. ( laughter ) but trump isn't the only thing plaguing the d

mayor pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar, beto o'rourke, mike bloomberg, cory booker, and kamala harris. together, together we're bringing this party together. that's what we have to do. tonight, we are a step closer to restoring decency, dignity and honor to the white house. that's our ultimate goal. and at this moment when there's so much fear in the country and there's so much fear across the world, we need american leadership. we need presidential leadership that's honest, trusted, truthful, and steady, reassuring leadership. if i'm given the honor of becoming your president, i promise you i'll strive to give the nation that very leadership every day, every day i have a privilege to hold office. that's the reason why i'm running for president. i believe we're in an incredible moment in american history, a phenomenal opportunity to deliver a bold, progressive vision to the american people. guaranteeing that every american has healthcare, affordable healthcare, total healthcare, not a privilege but a right. joe biden, building on [applause] building on obamacare. providing every child
