we've got both campaigns covered starting with nbc's kasie hunt. kasie? >> reporter: lester, good evening. these millions that made up the best fund-raising day ever coming in small donations, averaging just $34 apiece, but senator sanders telling nbc news tonight he knows he work to do. bernie sanders looking ahead. a day after he sent hillary clinton to stunning defeat in new hampshire. having breakfast with reverend al sharpton at an iconic harlem restaurant, blocks from where bill clinton moved his office when he left >> it is very important that he sent morning after an historic victory that harlem and have breakfast with me. >> reporter: there are signs of a possible sanders coalition. last night he won 83% of the youth vote and 73% of independents. but hillary clinton still has more minority support, and the states ahead are bigger and more diverse. in iowa and new hampshire, over 90% of democratic voters were white, but not in nevada with a large latino population. or in south carolina where a majority are african-american. do you think it's possi

nbc's kristen welker and kasie hunt are following the democratic campaigns for us. ladies, i'm fighting off a sneeze. i'll start with you kasie in norfolk, and talk a little bit about what the sanders campaign has said in this rally in the last hour. he's released a statement regarding gitmo. >> hey, tamron. yes, we're seeing sanders increasingly on the attack, holding somewhat of a press conference yesterday going after hillary clinton on trade and super pacs. today, using the president's announcement on closing the guantanamo bay prison to hit hillary clinton just out in a new statement, saying, quote, sanders was one of only three senators to vote in 2007 against barring the transfer of guantanamo detainees to america. then-senator hillary clinton voted for the amendment that kept the prison open. we're digging a little more into these claims so we hopefully can bring you some more information on what senator sanders is referring to, and we'll see of course if he mentioned it today in norfolk. this, of course, shows you that south carolina not at the top priority

hunt, first bernie sanders and hillary clinton referred to kasie hunt's question and answer last night. let's play that. >> you don't think obama closed the gap? >> no, i think it's bringing millions of people into the political process. >> president obama was the recipient of the largest number of walls donations of anybody on the democratic side ever. when it mattered, he stood up and took on wall street. so let's not in any way imply here that either president obama or any candidate would not take on health insurance companies or the gun lobby to stand up to do what's best for the american people. >> let's not insult the intelligence of the american people. people aren't dumb. why in god's name does wall street make huge campaign contributions? i guess, just for the fun of it. they want to throw money around. >> so hillary clinton took what bernie sanders said to kasie hunt, said, just today in an intervi interview. >> he said he would be better on race relations. bernie sanders is calling for a political revolution. his party has been in control of the white house for the past eigh

>> all right, kasie, thanks. let's turn to chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press." chuck, what impact will last night have it is a plays ought over new hampshire the next week? >> now we see a shift in the burden of proof on candidacies n.iowa the burden of proof was on donald trump and hillary clinton and ted cruz. ted cruz passed his test. hillary clinton barely passed her test. now the burden of proof shifts in new hampshire to bernie sanders and donald trump. donald trump and bernie sanders have weeks. here. well, hillary clinton might have a little clintons have done well in new hampshire in the past, and now we know everything into the air on the republican side of things. so i think that's the big change here is suddenly must-win states for sanders and trump. >> all right, chuck. thank you. >>> there are a pair of troubling new developments in the doctors in the u.s. are reporting the first known case of the virus being sexually transmitted. while in brazil experts are tr

kasie hunt, safe travels to you.s of trouble for bernie sanders in losing the black vote. why that blowout margin here in nevada, it could get worse in south carolina. we're going to talk about that coming up. >>> first, i stopped in at ted cruz's rally last night, just about 30 minutes outside of vegas. here's why one voter is standing by his candidate, cruz over trump. >> i'm not a big trump supporter because i just -- he strikes me as the ultimate narcissist, and he's in it for him more than the country. i think mr. cruz is much more in that way. i understand he's the most hated man in washington, which to me is a very good reference. s who you're wearing... toenail fungus!? whaaat?!? fight it! with jublia. jublia is a prescription medicine... ...used to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. jublia is workin' it! most common side effects include... ...ingrown toenail, application site redness,... ...itching, swelling, burning... ...or stinging, blisters, and pain. oh!! fight it! with jubli

kasie, last night there was a town hall. hillary clinton defending her progressive badge and some of the criticism that she's received. let me get your insight compared to what you've heard already on the campaign trail. >> look, i've made speeches to lots of groups. i told them what i thought. i answered questions. >> but did you have to be paid $675,000? >> well, i don't know. that's what they offered. so -- to be honest, i wasn't -- i wasn't committed to running. i didn't know whether i would or not. >> you didn't think you would run for president? >> i didn't. when i was secretary of state, several times i said, you know, i think i'm done. and, you know, so many people came to me, started talking to me. anybody who knows me who thinks that they can influence me, name anything they've infunsed me on. just name one thing. i'm here every day saying i'm going to shut them down, i'm going after them. >> so kasie, what is the campaign saying about that answer? >> reporter: well, that was a difficult moment for hillary clinton,

hallie jackson, nbc >> reporter: i'm kasie hunt covering the democrats in massachusetts, where bernie sanders is struggling to keep the bern from flaming out after a stinging loss to hillary clinton in nevada. >> let me say something. the short three-letter answer is y-e-s. >> reporter: he's spending money faster than clinton, and he's struggled to catch on with african-american voters. interrupting sunday dinner at brooklyn baptist church. >> are we behind today in the african-american vote? the answer is, yes, we are. but i would also tell you that we are making progress. >> reporter: to win the nomination, you need 2,383 delegates. today clinton has 52 delegates to sanders' 51. black voters will be critical on super tuesday when nearly 20% of delegates to the democratic national convention are up for grabs. there are 571 delegates at stake across the south, where clinton is strong. far more than the 288 the sanders campaign believes he can win. then there are the so-called super delegates, party leaders and elected officials. right now overwhelmingly with clinton, putting her far a

[ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: tonight expect bernie sanders to once again go after clinton with the question. who's the most progressive? >> do you think hillary clinton is a progressive? >> some days, yes. >> reporter: his campaign taking to twitter, highlighting her support for the wall street bailout, the patriot act, and the iraq war. >> the progressive community was pretty united in saying don't listen to bush. >> reporter: key for sanders tonight, reaching older voters. a majority of new hampshire voters over 60 back hadn't. he also honor an advantage among independents, leading clinton by 43 points. sanders' message is already hitting home for young people, like these students at the university of new hampshire. ♪ >> reporter: managing expectations is another concern for sanders. he's so far ahead right now that if hillary cl

msnbc's political krs pond ent kasie hunt is following bernie sanders.t was her questions to the candidate that prompted the debate over who is the true progressive. casey, he has already got an event this morning, right? >> reporter: yes, we do, chris. this is the named politics and eggs breakfast, bernie sanders will be appearing here shortly before moving on to another event and a press conference and expected endorsement from ben jealous, the former head of the naacp. that of course hopefully the campaign thinks will help him with african-american voters where of course he's running a deficit with hillary clinton. but last night, chris, those fiery -- the most fiery exchanges that whole top half of that debate where chuck todd and rachel mad do you let these two candidates go one-on-one is over this issue of who is actually a progressive. you heard the line the artful smear accusing bernie sanders of essentially smearing her without saying it out loud and asking him to respond. but sanders continued with his critique. take a listen so what he had to

lester. >> kasie, thank you. >>> there's high drama tonight in springfield, massachusetts, where bill cosby's wife, camille, was forced to testify in a lawsuit brought by some of her husband's accusers. one of several lawsuits he's facing in addition to a criminal charge in pennsylvania. in this case, one of the big questions, what did camille cosby know? nbc's stephanie gosk has late details. >> reporter: despite battling the deposition from the beginning, camille cosby testified today for hours. >> she's involved in the various aspects of his life, and so we think she's got some important information. >> reporter: cosby's 71-year-old wife, who also worked for years as his business manager, was deposed in a defamation lawsuit brought by seven women who accuse the comedian of sexual assault. a judge ruled that camille cosby could be deposed in this case because her work is not protected by law in the same way private conversations between spouses are. in a motion, the plaintiff's attorney argued in part, there is likely no single person who has more knowledge of mr. cosby's sexual pro

and let's go to kasie hunt and it's germane where kasie is, because kasie is in texas. we had to hold her in texas and not send her ahead with the sander's campaign in minnesota, because the candidate is scheduled to be in the air when the results come in tonight. so kasie, thank you for dropping back to talk to us and what are you hearing from the sanders' campaign? >> i'm happy to be stranded here in austin, texas, brian. >> it could be a lot worse. you're one of the great places of the united states. >> reporter: right. no, that tells you everything you need to know, right? that he's still, as far as we know, in the air on the way to minnesota. i'm sure we'll hear from the campaign as soon as they do land. but that tells you where their focus is, and they're already looking even past super tuesday, because, remember, super tuesday is also difficult for them in terms of the demographics. if you look at south carolina, the african-american vote, many of those southern states have similar issues. they're going to be looking to states where the demographics are frankly m

lester. >> kasi, thank you. >> check todd is co-moderating the debate on msnbc.ck sanders long considered the front-runner in the new hampshire race. does that take any pressure off secretary clinton in this matchup tonight? >> you know, i don't think it does, only because of the clinton tradition here in new hampshire. new hampshire's been very good to the clinton family. saved bill clinton's candidacy in 1992. frankly, it saved hillary clinton's candidacy and helped extend that race in 2008. i don't think necessarily it buys her time. but look, this debate is coming at a time when the two of them are having a real debate about what should the democratic party be. should it be what it's been? is it the party of obama and clinton? or does it need to go in a new direction as bernie sanders? clearly an army of supporters wants to take it. >> chuck, thanks very much. tonight's msnbc democratic debate kicks off live from the university of new hampshire, co-moderated by chuck, and rachel maddow at 9:00 eastern time. >>> in the republican race, another new poll shows m
