i believe it's updated to 44 in the race for the democratic nomination. candidates do need 1,991. now, the only states still up for grabs this morning is maine with 89% of the precincts reporting it is too close to call between sanders and biden on the map. biden's states are orange. that includes texas. sanders' are green and that includes california.. >> voters in california's primary election gave bernie sanders a big win last night. he captured more than 1/3 of the vote here. ktvu's allie rasmus is in downtown oakland right now in front of the bernie sanders campaign office and allie has the latest numbers. good morning, allie. >> good morning, dave. california has 415 delegates up if for grabs making it one of the most sought after prizes on super tuesday and according to the latest and overnight vote total, senator sanders won california. here's a look at the break down in vote totals. bernie sanders has 33% of the vote in california. joe biden 24%. mike bloomberg 15% and elizabeth warren 12%. now, last night in his home state of vermont, sanders said he's confident he will

is she endorsed mike bloomberg in this primary race for the democratic nomination. we caught up with her a short time ago to see exactly if she would support joe biden, or bernie sanders, if they were the nominees. here's what she had to say. >> i'm surprised at how well biden is doing. and i think it's great. we will see when it happens. haven't made a decision yet. but like i said, at the end of the day, it's important that we support the democratic nominee so that we can elect a democrat president. >> reporteyobrd says there is a need for unity within the democratic party, with these two seemingly different factions inside of the moderates and the progressives and that all has to come together in november. that's what she told us, just a short time ago. coming up late tonight on kpix 5 news, we will hear from state senator scott wiener, talked to him about the same subject, about unity in the democratic party. >>> president trump tonight reacting to the results. he says he doesn't much care who he faces in the general election. >> whoever it is, i don't care. i r

we stand a great chance to win the democratic nomination. if we win the democratic nomination, we will eat donald trump and beat him badly -- beat donald trump and beat him badly. [applause] let me interupt you. and suggest it is not bernie, it is us all. as you know, with this campaign is about is us, not me. we are trying to understand that all of us are in this together. [applause] every family in america has its problems. it is important that my family be there for your family, your family be there for my family. we cannot turn our back when other people are in pain. us not me means something else. it means we understand that no president alone can do what has to be done. we understand that real change in american history, whether it is the labor movement, civil rights movement, women's movement, gay-rights movement, all of those changes took place by millions of people standing up for justice. that is where we are right now. we are the richest country in the history of the world. we demand justice for all of our people. whether wall str

four years. >> yeah. >> you know what, back in 2016, the big reason why he didn't win the democratic nominationers. well, look at this. bernie sanders and the democratic primaries last night, michigan, mississippi, missouri. look at the 2016 numbers. 28, 11, 32. somehow in 2020, he actually did worse in each of these states. one point worse in michigan, one point worse in mississippi. eight points worse in missouri. last night, john, he simply put, didn't do it. >> how about older voters, since they seem to be turning out most. >> yeah. there is a huge age divide in the democratic primary so far. we talk about bernie sanders' edge with younger voters. indeed, last night in the median state that we had an exit poll, 18 to 44-year-olds, he won by 38 percentage points. joe biden has a mammoth, 47-point edge. not so much that he's winning with the older voters but look at the percentage of the electorate. they are 68%. the fact is, bernie sanders can do well with younger voters, but joe biden is doing better with older voters and they're making up the vast majority of the electorate. it's a winning

bernie sanders home state he's seen as the front runner for the nomination along with joe biden is one of them likely to secure the democratic presidential nomination by the end of super tuesday. well i don't think that's likely to happen because that would mean that. would carry all the super tuesday states and would get all the delegates and that's not likely to happen as we can see when we could sit out the 1st projections for virginia where. joe biden seems to be winning and moment senator bernie sanders is at least by one network to be winning so probably we are not going to see a candidate for the democratic nomination. maybe we will get a good hint of who has to best chances right now here at the polling station in west los angeles where we have still 4 hours to go 4 hours before the vote to cast a ballot ok william when the results start coming in we're talking from north carolina virginia of a moment what should we be looking out for well alexander was exactly right we're going to have a very good indication after this day is over this night is over who is going to be the likely democratic candidate for proud of the

including the state with the most democratic delegates california so with the contest for the democratic nomination now essentially a 2 horse race which of these 2 men has the best chance of defeating donald trump

>> i tell you with observe lawsuit confidence we're going to win the democratic nomination. >> bernie sanders still sounding confident. he placed a lot of attention on california this time after losing the state in 2016 to hillary clinton. one thing that seems to have hurt him yesterday, young people did not turn out like they did in 2016. especially in the south and in his homestate of vermont. we're waiting to hear who won in maine. biden and sanders are in a tight race there. biden has a slim margin over sanders. 24 delegates are up for grabs in that state. reporting live in the newsroom, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> all right. thank you. so a few protesters tried to interrupt joe biden's speech in los angeles last night but his wife, jill, pushed one of them before they could get to him. >> in the neighborhoods we get to -- >> oh. you can see jill biden she was stepping between her husband and that second protester that came up. she shoved her away as security responded. here's another look at it. that sign reads let dairy die. >>> michael bloomberg and his campaign advisers admi

. >> tonight i tell you with absolute confidence we're going to win the democratic nomination. >> whent to super tuesday it would be over. well, it may be over for the other guy. >>> and tonight, the question: how long will the other guy stick around? >> and some people in the bay area had to wait to exercise their right to vote. the lines that stretched for hours. >>> now at 11:00 and streaming on cbsn bay area, we're counting up the votes from the key races across the bay area and california. >> first, let's start with the up to minute results in the democratic presidential race here in california. vermont senator bernie sanders has been declared the winner now with 30% of the vote followed by biden with 20% and michael bloomberg with 17%. elizabeth warren took 12%. >>> prop 13 is california's only state proposition on the ballot tonight. it's all about money for schools. $15billion to be exact. it needs a majority to pass. right now the yesses have it with 57%. >>> measure e would restrict new offices being built if the city can't meet new state mandated affordable housing goals. ri

thinks he'll win the democratic nomination he said it do the results from super tuesday indicates anything of the sort. it's still too too soon to tell of course remember remember the 1st primaries and caucuses that we saw in january february were about this magic word momentum about just showing that you can perform well at the media attention get donations move into the next states now we're talking about numbers we're talking about how many delegates can these candidates rack up 1991 is the magic number that's where they need to get over 50 percent to become and to clinch the nomination at the democratic national convention in the summer and that's where she were to say so big because so many delegates are up for grabs and bernie sanders is still making a strong showing as alex alexander in california shows the. biggest state may be many of those delegates may be going to bernie sanders and biden was expected to do well at once to judge and club which are his moderate competitors dropped out of the race after south carolina ok let's turn to do you have a front runner joe biden and let's

or joe biden has cemented his frontrunner status in the race to win the democratic nomination for the u.s. presidency the former vice president has won primaries in the u.s. states of mississippi missouri and idaho as well as the key states of michigan braille elizondo reports from the choice. joe biden at his last campaign rally michigan implored people to get out and vote for him but he did these are some of the voters that helped him win michigan making him the undisputed front runner for the democratic nomination i want to thank bernie sanders for sure tireless engine a new passion we share a common goal and together we'll defeat. with a few. hope to endorsements from senators comma harris and cory booker would help him maintain his overwhelming support from black voters he worked them all by because right now everybody's endorsements i feel like he's going to be strong time and who can be true who did you vote for today joe biden. because he already was in office so he already has a fill about what goes on what leadership is what this country needs and what it takes to be a succe

well, there is a new front-runner this morning in the race for the democratic presidential nomination following super tuesday voting. former vice president joe biden pulled off big wins across the country. "cbs news" shows biden winning or leading ten states, arkansas, alabama, maine, minnesota, north carolina, massachusetts, oklahoma, tennessee, texas and virginia. senator bernie sanders won or leads in california, colorado, utah and his home state of vermont. despite spending a huge amount of money leading up to super tuesday. michael bloomberg's only victory of the night came in american sma samoa. biden moved by more than 400. bind edged out texas at a rally in dallas on monday. in the biggest part of the night, california sanders is leading biden with michael bloomberg running third. so we have been tracking all the results from here in new york. laura, this has been quite a turn around for joe biden. >> reporter: it sure has. a week ago he was trailing in delegates to bernie sanders and pete buttigieg, commentators and pundits were saying he didn't have the support to win the no

saying that he cannot win the democratic nomination because he is not even a democrat but of course we have to say once again that bernie sanders could win big here in california and he can also still win the candidates in texas as the delegates i'm sorry in texas this state is still too close to call and he seems and we as we could see very optimistic that in the end he could be the democratic nominee and what about michael bloomberg poured in a lot of his own money hundreds of millions of dollars into super tuesday did it pay off. it doesn't seem dead it paid up at the moment at least he was projected to win american samoa and he may be coming in in states like in 2nd place in some of that estates that are still too close to call but this result can be considered as does up pointing there are rumors that he wants to meet with his advisers with he's comparing to decide how to move forward when we have results of super tuesday ok we'll have to leave it there phonology dubnyk correspondent alexander phenomena in los angeles thank you. right let's take a brief look at some other stories

democratic nominee, when we come back. ack. >>> new concerns about what will happen to bernie sanders voters if he will lose the nomination.est they might not vote for the democrat ek candidate in november. jameel smith is with me now. what do you think of this? >> i make of it that if joe biden is the nominee, he has some proving to do to these folks who have doubts in him. he has to do a lot more than brag about the diversity that he has around him, as he was doing tonight in his speech. i think that's talk that you might hear from someone back in the '80s who is proud of the racial coalition they might have around them. he's got to talk about the policies that he has, you know, in his platform. policies that these folks may be demanding more of from him. he's got to talk about his climate plan, his plans for racial justice that go beyond criminal justice. these are things that young people in particular are really interested in, and frankly demanding of. and he's got to get not just sanders' voters, but think about the warren voters that may be up for the taking. so he's really got to think about talking about not who i

it's a long and seemingly never—ending road to the democratic nomination.e we're driving on. the search for voters takes you way off the beaten track. here in vermont, and bernie sanders‘ frozen backyard, there is an icefishing competition going on. he is the most left—wing and the oldest candidate in the race, and some are hooked. i am supporting bernie. why? because i believe in his message, and i'm kind of tired of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, and the middle class getting squeezed. i think a lot of americans are ready to vote for bernie sanders, and i think that's in response to a real disgust with the oligarchy. but for a lot of these hunting, fishing, and shooting types, he's anathema. are you a bernie supporter? no. i don't believe in giving everything i work for away. you think that's what bernie would do? oh, yeah, 100%. it's what he's done his whole life. from here in this remote frozen wilderness in the northeast, bernie sanders has built a grassroots organisation that fans out across the whole us. it's impressive. his supp
