>> brian: that's a credibility issue that governor chris sununu doesn't sign up for. if trump gets the nomination i will vote for him. firmly in his court. >> ainsley: she didn't say she wouldn't vote for him, she does say he cannot win, the polls say can he win. >> steve: the way she answered the question yesterday on meet the press was given the fact that on super tuesday she still would like to wins a many delegates as possible. she is not going to say you know what? i'm all in. if trump is the nominee i will vote for him. she still wants people to vote for her one of the reasons why her camp thinks it would heal have a very strongs night tomorrow night in northern virginia and perhaps garner a bunch of delegates in the commonwealth. so, stay tuned. >> brian: definitely going to be interesting. as governor newsom said nikki haley has become the best surrogate for our party. so i hope she stays in as long as possible. she is has changed her tune, sounding more like liz cheney than nikki haley when she started. >> lawrence: question about her future after this presid

georgia governor brian kemp, and chris christie and mitch daniels, the former indiana governor and chris sununu of new hampshire, and what do you see with that? >> well, two things can be true. and i have shared this with others that it is difficult to mount a presidential run if there is an alternative in the making that may be successful at a grass roots or state level in a different arena, but to mount a presidential run, the barriers to entry are high. you can't get your candidate in front of the american people in all 50 states. so no labels is struggling from the mechanical issue, but then the general lack of support. i think that their mission is doom for failure, and they should abab don it, and there is more of an impact from the rfk jr. running on the similar issue of vaccine freedom, and that is something of enough of a constituency in the united states to disrupt a two-person race, but in that case, it actually hurts donald trump more than joe biden. >> what you think, atima? >> well, i don't disagree with congressman jolly. >> well, that being said, if a third-party candidacy can't

i asked one of her most powerful sarah gets, chris sununu about that yesterday.t to put any numbers around that, but did point to the idea that nikki haley has gotten more than 40% of the vote in places like new hampshire. more than 20% in other states as well. he said those numbers show there is an appetite for someone who is not trump. the other thing to consider is just financing. nikki haley is still raising millions of dollars. she pulled in $12 million in february. her campaign has set another million dollars in march. if she has the money she very well could, it just becomes a question of why she would be doing that knowing that the math, especially of trump wins all the states tonight, means she cannot get the delegates needed. it could be she just wants to be there as a backup should something happen with donald trump, like, say he is convicted of a felony and that changes what could happen at the convention in july. katie: some big questions. hoping to get some clarity tonight. kailey leinz, thank you so much. bloomberg and kailey will have special cove

and governor chris sununu in new hampshire. saying he's going to support donald trump.ic for calling him a complete irresponsible -- not a good candidate for president. but i'm going to endorse them. you all need to quit tripping over that and thinking you're fooling anybody with this crazy. this helps, i think, the biden narrative. because republicans can't get of their own way. they are stuck on him like white on rice. does that ease the way for the president to make the case to republicans like myself and others to say, hey, you all going to stick with stupid? or come over here and move the country forward? >> i don't think he quite put it that way, michael. >> okay. i'm just -- just providing a little editorial commentary. >> i appreciate that. but i think the fact that since the republican party seems to be donald trump's party. creates an opening to reach out for republicans who don't want to be part of donald trump's party. there are some who are not comfortable with donald trump's leadership and want an alternative. i think joe biden provides that alternative. s

frankly, i think that nikki haley and chris sununu, and a few other folks who are involved in his campaign, are looking very carefully at 2028. i think that they are looking at trying to build a coalition for the party, that 30% to build on, where they can build something going forward, when the 2028 cycle comes around. >> and, as the former campaign advisor yourself, what would you be saying to nikki haley tonight, if you worked for her from a campaign perspective. is there any reason for to stay in this contest? >> the only reason nikki haley is in this contest as because she was hoping originally that one of those, one of the many court battles that donald trump faces was going to knock him out. but i agree, honestly with was previously set. nikki haley is looking towards the republican party beyond 2024. i think that is that that is an elusive thing to do, honestly. because the republican party has shifted so far to the all right, to the extreme right, that another four years of a trump presidency, or the possibility of that, would totally eradicate that 20% or whatever she thinks is a

it comes as a number of trump critics from mitch mcconnell to chris sununu and brian kemp said he would not endorse donald trump and i know you've gotten this question a lot and i have to ask, will you endorse donald trump, senator? >> i'm smiling because this keeps my streak unbroken on "meet the press" where i'm asking this or similar to that. my staff had an over under to how long i would take. >> and i have to continue the streak and ask you follow-ups to get an answer out of you, senator. just again, will you endorse -- are you ruling it out? i didn't say yes, you are going to endorse him. >> no. the answer i'm going to goive consistently is i plan to vote republican for the presidency of the united states. >> you haven't endorsed him yet. >> i've answered this question so many times before, by the way. i've answered this question so many times before on every show, but that's my answer. >> i hear you. this week is a little different because he did just become the presumptive nominee. so you don't have plans to endorse him. you plan to endorse and vote for, as you say, a republican

something that happened in the last half hour or so is that new hampshire republican governor chris sununu says he's going to support donald trump, that's despite spending months criticizing him. i want to look back at some of those remarks. >> and then when it's one on one, trump's in trouble, and he knows that. and so depending on who that one is and it's still very much remains to be seen, that's where the republicans have the opportunity to talk about healing america, not just relitigating donald trump's drama. >> republicans are trying to save the country. donald trump is trying to save himself. >> so not flattering. having said that, he is not the first one or even the first one this week -- >> i know. >> who has criticized donald trump who has now said i am going to support him. give us the big picture as you see it of this governor. >> i think what they're trying to do is to preserve their political futures, actually. it's kind of shocking to me, but look, people want to -- what they're trying to be is a good old republican. that at the end i'll throw in and support him. the price

. >> brian: nikki haley surrogate governor chris sununu reacts ahead. >> steve: making history, iowa'sfor college

frankly, i think that nikki haley and chris sununu, and a -- within the party, at 30% too build on, where they can build something going forward, when the 2028 cycle comes around. >> and ameisha cross, as a former campaign advisor yourself, what would you be saying to nikki haley tonight, if you worked for her from a campaign perspective. is there any reason for to stay in this contest? >> the only reason nikki haley is in this contest as because she was hoping originally that one of those, one of the many court battles that donald trump faces was going to knock him out. but i agree, honestly with with previously said. nikki haley is looking towards the republican party beyond 2024. i think that is that that is an elusive thing to do, honestly. because the republican party has shifted so far to the all all three right -- available. nikki haley, from the beginning, had more of a moderate voter support, she had disaffected democratic support. she never really quake that much with the republican party, because she is still holding on to the republican party of two decades ago, versus the rep

have fallen in line behind him, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, new hampshire governor chris sununu, both saying they're going to support him for president endorsing him. >> obviously, nikki >> haley, though, has not done that just yet. she's said earlier this week when she dropped out that he still needs to earn the votes of her supporters. he being donald trump. do you think that those voters are up for grabs as as we know that the biden campaign is also trying to get get their support as well >> i think it'll be very hard. we live in a very polarized era. we have for a couple of decades and voters don't move from red to blue very often there again, small pockets and they matter a lot. but by enlarge, i would expect a lot of those republics kim's who voted for haley to move over to trump in the general election. they will come home. that's what happened in 2016, despite a lot of speculation of would there be republicans voting for democrats? and i think that's going to happen again today. some might not vote, but i would expect many will support we're at the party, so i don't expe

you have chris sununu, who was on a shortlist, larry hogan who was on the shortlist, joe manchin and mitt romney, all of them have said they're either not rent, they're not going sunday. the no labels ticket, or they've already endorsed donald trump. so the question is who and the reality i think it does matter who because if it is someone who is considered as so extreme and maybe just one step away from donald trump. i think it helps joe biden because it takes some votes away from donald trump. but if it is someone potentially that i can't even like a nikki haley, which i think would be counter to what she was saying. she wanted to do. i think it would help donald trump. >> so nikki, i there's no way i think that you hear that it would do what she still wants to be a republic what can president someday? but geoff duncan, who is, i believe still seeing in commentator and our colleague, we all like him. he's a nice guy with former lieutenant governor of georgia, very conservative republican who broke from trump, right he doesn't think trump's republican to begin with. the wall street

whether it's chris sununu rushing to endorse or glenn youngkin in my state rushing to endorse trump when both of them know very well how bad donald trump really is and would be in a second term as president. so katie britt, maybe she says let's things behind the scenes and margaret would know better than me. maybe she says things that are reasonable, but i didn't see a reasonable person america on unreasonable person saying inaccurate, misleading, things in a weird way to be blunt about it. >> all right it was weird. there's a question about it. it still feels weird to this to this day. all right. margaret larry, guys. thank you very much, really appreciate it in the meantime, hungarian autocrat viktor orban is revealing new details about his discussions with donald trump and florida over the weekend, including that trump quote, will not give a penny to ukraine if re-elected this fall and move. he believes would end that war with russia were ban, made the comments on hungarian state television this morning. it comes just after the former president posted a highlight reel of orban's visit

we saw governor chris sununu from new hampshire, who has been very vocal in his criticism against trump, say that he would be supporting trump is the nominee. and now you have somebody like nancy mace, and there's a little history there. were he endorsed her opponent in this last round than she came back to trump. she had been critical of him but >> wolf, overall, what we're seeing is exactly what we thought we'll play out, which is that every or most people within the party are going to fall in line behind trump because he, their nominee and they want to win. and so that is an end. >> he wields a tremendous amount on a power for so many elected people up on the hill, right? if he wants to primary them or if he wants to come out against them, that that really puts a risk if their political future and they know that i just expect we will continue to see that there is certainly that part of the party that is never trump that is never going to support him, but it is it is a very small minority. >> you know, it's interesting today on cnbc or lane as you know, trump called tiktok a national

republicans who were reluctant to go with trump and then came around the mcconnell's, the wounds of chris sununu they said, well, i have to endorse him now because he's the nominee better than joe biden pens took a very different approach to that. he's saying no, i don't have to endorse him because i'm a republican. i'm a conservative first it's then he's not conservative. >> the exit and look, there are people who are in that camp. one of them is senator mitt romney, who i caught up with this week about the fact that donald trump met recently with the hungarian leader's strongman, viktor orban, p-r-e-p, praised or bought and it's that kind of thing that concerns republicans like romney well, viktor orban is an authoritarian ruler and the practices that he's engaged in, in his >> nation or not, once we want to emulate here president trump has, over the years written love letters that took kim jong un has praised, let him or putin and welcomes viktor orban authoritarians, we're the leader of the free world. we're not the leader of the authoritarian world. >> what, what do you may get the fact tha

. >> she got big support from the governor there, chris sununu. >> republican. >> sununu. >> that's new hampshire. >> yes, you're right >> no. i told him it's the land of ben & jerry's and bernie sanders it's the land of ben & jerry's and bernie sanders so let me ask you. at this point she's shown a lot of backbone and, you know, resolve and everything is that good >> people say that she's setting herself up for potential in 2020. >> but listening to a lot of -- you know, it was never real, the hubris it was never going to happen, at least the last two weeks it never ends up looking stupid or do we say that's just politics >> i think she's trying to look to beyond what happens in 2024 i mean clearly it's not going to be something that happens this time around for her. the question is what does she do from here. >>> "new york times," this is unbel unbelievable what would you call it hair on fire for a lot of o people i don't want to be the bearer of bad news they're going to shoot the merger donald trump met with elon musk. if elon musk already had no fans, former fans, he definitely has
