michigan is bernie sanders' firewall.g is on the line tomorrow night for bernie sanders in michigan. that is where bernie sanders won a key upset victory against hillary clinton four years ago, defying the polls in michigan and keeping his campaign in contention for that democratic nomination. he has to do that tomorrow. on our second super tuesday when six states will be voting with michigan delivering the largest number of delegates. like hillary clinton, joe biden has mississippi locked up. joe biden has a significant lead over bernie sanders in michigan, according to the latest polls, but four years ago hillary clinton had a 25-point lead on bernie sanders in michigan the weekend before the voting and bernie sanders still pulled out a victory. bernie sanders campaigned today in michigan and missouri. which also votes tomorrow. here is some of what bernie sanders had to say in missouri. >> if you want to defeat trump, which all democrats do, a majority of independents and some republicans do, we are that campaign. we'v

so bernie sanders, great day in michigan campaigning yesterday which i saw up close in michigan followednto the state and closing big in detroit tonight. >> yeah, i mean, look, here is the reality that four years ago, hillary clinton came out of super tuesday with the 210 pledged delegate lead and the race went to michigan where bernie sanders won a huge surprise shocking upset victory but won it narrowly and the reality is it gave him life and he fought on for the next through months, his victory did nothing for him to make him closer to being the nominee. >> because of the delegate count. >> because of the delegate count. you got proportional allocation, you win a race, squeaker, both candidates walk away with the same number of dedelegates and couple more. tomorrow night he needs to desperately win michigan. if he wins by a couple percentage points, doesn't solve his problem. his problem is he's 75, 80 delegates behind joe biden now and on the same night bernie sanders may manage to pull off another upset in michigan, joe biden is going to crush bernie sanders in mississippi if the af

. >> the big prize, michigan. >> michigan, i'm counting on you in a big way. >> let's win here in michigan. let us win the democratic nomination. >> leading our coverage, rachel maddow, brian williams, nicolle wallace, steve kornacki at the big board. our political team across the country. the road warriors tracking the candidates. plus, joy reid, former missouri senator claire mccaskill, pulitzer prize winning columnist eugene robinson. our strategists, obama campaign manager david plouffe. former white house press secretary robert gibbs, msnbc special coverage starts now. >> voting is under way in six states, from the deep south all the way up to the pacific northwest. michigan, missouri, mississippi, north dakota, idaho, washington state. the first contests since the former vice president joe biden became the front-runner, the first since bloomberg and warren dropped out of this race. what the "wall street journal" dubbed super tuesday the sequel. one hour to the first polls close. brian williams here in new york with rachel maddow. >> the biggest prize tonight of course in terms of del

michigan obviously coming is a below. this is a symbolic state he wanted to win like in 2016 where he pulled out a win over hillary clinton, it was an upset victory, marked a moment for his electability, the state did not produce the same results for him tonight and that is a huge disappointment for his campaign. coronavirus concerns canceled his rally, didn't appear to impact voting in michigan, sanders's campaign encouraged election officials to address long lines at polling locations urging them to -- the same white college-educated voters, favored biden, one with a broad coalition of men and women, black, white, suburban and rural voters. sanders losses are more predictable and repeat from 2016. 's inability to secure broad support among african-american voters is turning out to be the achilles' heel of his campaign especially with a rival like biden who has long-standing support with that reliable voting block advocate number of endorsements, sanders was asked if he could see a path to the nomination without support

of michigan and also for the entire country.e's someone who shows up, has built the relationships, has built the trusts, the community trusts joe biden. he's been vetted pretty well and that vetting has passed. >> let me run through some of the interesting numbers for you, back in 2016, black voter turnout fell more than 12% propelling donald trump to a victory in that state by a lot of people's analyses. what advice are you giving the biden campaign to turn that number around going forward? >> look, i'm a black millennial who lives in detroit and what i'm letting him know is they need to show up. and joe biden has done that. we need to connect with people on their level. we had great events all across the state of michigan yesterday where we had people turning out ready to show up and support. the message is clear, we have a role to play in the future as young people, as people of color and joe biden is a coalition builder who is ready to welcome everyone because leadership is not an individual exercise. he's being the team tha

rob: michigan's 125 delegates. >> the outcome of michigan in november may determine who the next presidentbe. we are not looking for a revolution. we just want to trust the water that comes out of the pipes. >> i don't have to tell the people of michigan about the horrible water system. rob: bernie celebrated his victory and said he will win it again can he? joining us live, bill, thank you for coming on today. can bernie take this again? >> he could. michigan is known for upsets and he did that four years ago and hillary clinton was status quo, bernie sanders was not. the simple fact, joe biden is very status quo, bernie sanders is not. the one common factor, donald trump breaking the dishes in washington dc which is what people are looking for. jillian: let's look at the numbers as they break down. there are 125 delegates up for grabs. you mentioned 2016, talking hillary clinton and bernie sanders, bernie sanders wasn't able to get that win. a different story this time around but many people in michigan thought it would be between bernie sanders and joe biden at this point and that is wh

because joe knows michigan. joe cares about michigan and cares about people like michigan all across the country. we know healthcare is personal. right? [cheering and applause] i've got to tell you, as a 29 -year-old i became a member is known as the sandwich generation bit i was sandwiched between two generations of my own family from whom i was the primary caregiver. my mom was dying of brain cancer, my daughter who was a newborn. that does not make me unique because there's a lot of people doing that. i was also fighting an insurance company that was wrongfully denying my moms chemotherapy. i have commiserated with joe biden about this because the brain tumor that killed my mother is the same one that took beau biden's life. i know that he and barack obama expanded healthcare in this country almost 700,000 michiganders got healthcare. [cheering and applause] if that is not personal enough to many of us here in michigan, i will tell you what else is. when we were on the ropes, when our auto industry was strugg

this is kalamazoo, michigan, home to western michigan. biden is winning the county.may win it outright. four years ago, look what bernie sanders did. 60% of the vote. >> bret: so on this, this is home to the university of michigan. >> that's right. >> bret: so he holds this big event there, 10,000 kids, aoc. >> saturday night. >> bret: and he loses. >> at the moment he's losing, yes. >> bret: he could have chosen michigan -- were michigan state is and run up the score there, maybe more in-state students, but still, look at all the other districts and counties. >> your point is well taken. this is ann arbor, you're exactly right. four years ago this was an absolute -- this was domination by bernie sanders. the other thing -- we are going to talk about a lot between now and november, suburban voters. the best example of suburban voters in michigan -- here's detroit, wayne county buried this as oakland county here. look what biden is doing. he's almost at 60% now. hillary clinton, comparatively four years ago, she was only 51%. democrats have come home to their candidat

everybody is talking about michigan, michigan, michigan. or where he gets a setback? if you're democrat you can be happy tonight because turnout is up. there is enthusiasm, there is engagement. it seems like there's a revolution, but it's a revolution of the middle. it's being led by biden. nobody saw it coming, but here we are. >> i think there's a lot of disaffected trump people who ended up saying i made a mistake, i'm going to come back and get this guy out. i did you not, there were 205 obama trump counties. biden in these first states won the vast majority of them. i think there's an opportunity both to get out our vote and to persuade. i think biden's speech tonight was presidential, was gracious to bernie sanders and his supporters. it was an outreach. he mentioned coronavirus, obviously. that's going to be an important thing going forward. i thought it was a great first step onto potentially the general election. >> his supporters ought to take a cue from that. we heard reports of representative clyburn and james carville and other

most critical ones for both of the campaigns right now is a spent their last couple of days is in michigan. arthey state that bernie sanders one back in 2016. got the largest delicate call, hundred 25 delegates up for grabs and it's a statement appears to be tilting towards former vice president joe biden. he's got the support of not just his former rivalscory booker and connell harris who he rallied with last night but the governorof the state gretchen witmer who won the race in 2018. the mayor of detroit, the lieutenant governor was a dynamic up and color , the establishment if you will in that state , the newly elected establishment seems to be going behind former vice president biden . biden is probably almost certainlygoing mississippi by a pretty handy margin tonight . the state with a significant african-american population that's going to make up more than half of the democratic primary electorate and that similar to states that joe biden one last week on super tuesday, states like north carolina, alabama, arkansas, this is where african-american voters you droll read was a quarter

you can't win michigan. before the election, we were 20 points down in some of these polls. i think we have a great shot to win in michigan, washington, maybe some other states as well, we have a long, long way to go to the democratic nomination and we're going to fight for every vote. >> final question, if it becomes clear that you can't get a plurality you won't head to the convention with the lead, will you drop out or take this all the way to the convention? >> look, we'll fight for every vote that we can as we try to win this election. i'm not going to stay in the race that can't be won. right now that's a little bit premature. let's not determine what will happen on tuesday and in future. i think we have a great chance to win in michigan, washington and new york state. some of the major states that will coming up. i think think the people have a right to cast a vote for the candidate they want to see become president of the united states. >> senator sanders, thank you for your time this morning. we'll

sanders won michigan last time. fun times in the days ahead. >>> elizabeth warren is mulling whether she should endorse. an interview last night may provide some clues. ♪ everything your trip needs, for everyone you love. expedia. for everyone you love. my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insu

the people of michigan need.ny confirmed cases as of this point, but people want to know that their federal government will be there for them. and the way that you demonstrate that is by showing up time and time again and delivering for people. joe biden has done that, that'sy think he's a leader i'm confident in, and that people in michigan can be confident in will be able to step up to any challenge and deliver for people and deliver for public health. this is something that is super important and we believe that our nominee will be joe biden, he'll do the right thing. >> big test coming up on tuesday in the state of michigan and even a bigger one in november. lieutenant governor garlin gilchrist, thank you for joining the program. >>> you heard it moments ago, the president's trip to the cdc in atlanta, the focus here, the one organization in charge of the response to the coronavirus is back on. we will bring you his comments there, his visit as it happens. thanks so much for joining me today. i'm jim sciutto.

that is in michigan. missouri,ries in another win for the former vice president, approaching nearly 60% of the vote compared to 33.9% for senator sanders. mississippi, a significant win with joe biden getting the lion's share of the delegate in that southern state. 80% of the vote for joe biden, and sen. sanders: 15.4%. if he holds that margin, he will get a handful of delegates in mississippi. so as you look at those numbers and see those numbers, what is your reaction? is early, butit the big take away for me is missouri. it was one of the closest states in 2016, i think kerry clinton beat out bernie sanders by less than 2000 votes -- hillary clinton. when the votes were called early and biden had a commanding lead in that state, it says a lot. it says something about joe biden's strength among black voters. he is winning with a lot of different kinds of voters, but have.voters really elevated his campaign they have stuck with him and they are powering his commanding lead in the south in states like mic

michigan, though, is key, john, for two reasons. first of all, bernie did win there, surprisingly in 2016, after a tough super tuesday. secondly, more importantly, if bernie can't win in michigan, what's he going to do in ohio, illinois, and wisconsin here in the weeks to come? it's a pretty ominous sign if you can't win michigan. and talking to folks there the last few days, many of which are not committed, they all say that biden has the advantage in large part because democrats simply want to get on with this primary and get on to trump. >> the harris endorsement, again, on a sunday morning, backs up your point. democrats want to move on. and one of the questions is the tone of the campaign going forward. i want to look at the map in the sense that, yes, biden has a lead, it's not an insurmountable lead, but a surprise to all of us that a week after super tuesday, it's biden in the delegate lead, not bernie sanders. but these are two states biden won last time, and he did win michigan. to jonathan's point, this is the big battleg

is, where northern michigan, central michigan, western michigan, all of those counties were huge for sanders in 2016. it looks like he's going to lose all of them last night. the big story here, i should say in michigan when you started looking at the exit polls, the african american vote was close to 20% of this state. it looks about the same as it did four years ago. it was close to a 40-point victory for biden over sanders. the white vote changed dramatically. four years ago bernie sanders won the white vote in michigan by 14 points. he has now lost to according to the exit poll by 11. so a 25 point swing among white voters. that's non college white and college white. it just accounts for the sweep of the state, what looks like a sweep of the state by joe biden. raises all sorts of questions about a state that was critical in general election too. if joe biden might be more acceptable to the voters who swung michigan away from the democrats in 16 than hillary clinton. >> so what changed, steve? because we saw that giant rally in ann arbor for bernie sanders just a couple days ago.

i signed an agreement between michigan and the u.s. department of labor to implement pandemic unemployment assistance and compensation programs. to grant benefits to workers who do not already qualify for unemployment benefits. these workers include the self-employed, 1099 independent contractors, and low-wage workers who can no longer work because of the pandemic. the agreement includes weekly benefits for all unemployed workers by $600 and extends benefit payments from 26-39 weeks. and i accepted the recommendation of the u.s. army corps of engineers, the detroit district for an alternative care facility conversion in the city of detroit. fema will fund the construction and fund it and this space will have 900 bed spaces, approximately. we have a few more upgraded -- updated numbers. as of 3:00 yesterday, we have 5486 confirmed cases, 32 deaths. we will not see the benefit of these aggressive efforts for little while. that is why it is important that everyone continues to do their part. it is important to pause and remember each of t

michigan secretary of state now says 1 million people voted earlier in michigan, that's nearly double 2016 primary. the state is kind of getting the hang of a new law now allows any any voter to cast an absentee ballot for any reason. with that said, joe biden is the projected winner here. michigan was considered basically make or break for the bernie sanders campaign bernie sanders campaign. sanders himself was emphasizing how critical this state was to him and now he is the projected loser. back in 2016, during the primary, michigan was a marquee win for sanders, and upset over hillary clinton. now that sanders is projected to lose michigan, his path moving forward is increasingly difficult, both in momentum and the delegate count. here in the detroit area, wayne and oakland counties joe biden is doing very well. this is a voter rich area critical for a michigan won with a large number of black voters. and two other critical counties on the western side of the state of michigan, kent and ottawa counties, unofficial turnouts appear to show much tighter race between biden and bernie s

that happened because we showed up in every community in michigan. my first day on the campaign trail, i was in flynn the. we went to all 83 counties. when you show up for people, you deliver for them and that's how you win elections. joe biden showed up before, during and beyond election season to be there for the people of michigan time and time again. we know he has our back, and we will have is. >> a precedent that is, i heard the complaints all over michigan, as you know my civil rights work has a strong chapter there, i heard a lot of complaints that hillary clinton didn't campaign enough in detroit and her campaign misled her. are you making a complicit statement about the clinton campaign and are you saying than joe biden will do better that mrs. clinton was accused or or at least her campaign was? >> i'm saying you definitely have to show up to earn people's vote and earn people's trust. you have to ask people to note for you and tell them why. as i said, i was a sanders voting in 2016. they didn't reach out what it would talk to me about wh

zach, what is going down in michigan? frantic effort by the sanders campaign to crisscross the state. they're trying to reassemble the coalition. the question is this momentum juggernaut that joe biden seems to have assembled, is it going to be too much? sanders has been in second place in grand rapids. he was in detroit, on the university of michigan campus going for the young voters. he's been in flint, camped out in the state the last few days. joe biden arrived today. he's got a three-city swing going. it really is starting to feel like it may not just be in the cards for sanders, he's not seeing the same support from the same coalition -- >> let me read you something about medicare for all in michigan because, as mentioned, he did well before. detroit news writing that the contrast between sanders' plan to overhaul the health care system and biden's proposal to build, is on the union workers, many whom like their current coverage. why do you think potentially that kind of stuff is a drag now, at least according to "t

[applause] hello, west michigan. are you as excited to be here today to cheer on bernie, to support bernie, to win in michigan? [applause] >> what a great day it is. i am excited to be up here, expressing my support for senator bernie sanders. it comes from a couple different places. a friend of mine tells you you tell the story from your personal viewpoint and my ,iewpoint is that the veterans a a former organizer, and as current labor relations representative in the union working with health-care workers throughout west michigan. [applause] heard in 2015 bernie say something very sharp but sustained, i knew that was my guide. he said, you have to be tough but not stupid. for me as a veteran, the son of a veteran, father of a serving marine corps -- marine, i can tol you, it is important have someone who understands that if we have to make the choice to put people in harm, we have to calculate the cost of caring for those veterans when they return and not just the cost of the tanks, planes, guns, and bullets. [appla

garrett haake in grand rapids, michigan. a cnn poll shows the former vice president with a double digit lead, picked up another endorsement from a former rival, from new jersey senator cory booker. senator kamala harris over the weekend, more on that in a moment. how is the campaign feeling heading into tomorrow? >> nationally you have all those indicators coming up biden. in michigan the biden campaign is aware that bernie sanders in the past has erased a significant polling lead to beat a front runner, did it against hillary clinton in 2016. the polls show the former vice president with a comfortable lead in michigan, not taking anything for granted. that being said biden is campaigning like he's got a comfortable lead in michigan. he spent the weekend in missouri and mississippi, other states that are voting on tuesday. he will be here today for a series of events in grand rap his, in flint and then closing things out in detroit, he'll be joined on stage by two former rivals who are now endorsing him. it's a similar playb

>> in michigan, i think michigan is still very competitive state.nd i think democrats got to do far better job talking about issues that matter to working people. and the midwest matters. so, i think we're going to see a very competitive year. >> martha: you know, what do you think -- in terms of michigan, when you look at issues like fracking and, you know, and the auto industry, what do you think is sort of the most important thing for people to watch? >> you know, i think that people are concerned about their jobs. i think people are concerned about healthcare. but not in the way we always talk about it in terms of affordable care. you know, lower prescription drug prices. they want to be able educate kids and have a safe and secure environment. man or working woman carries about. >> martha: thank you congresswoman dingell. >> thank you. >> martha: this is the story march the 9th. see you tomorrow night with bret special election coverage starting at 6:00 p.m. eastern. >> tucker: governor and welcome to tucker carlson sent the coronavirus epidemi

obviously it starts with michigan. can bernie sanders win michigan tomorrow?chologically, win the big state that he won four years ago. that's a huge one for his campaign to be able to boast about. the polling does not look good in michigan right now for bernie sanders. his campaign will say it didn't look good for him on the eve of the michigan primary four years ago. also, missouri is going to go tomorrow. missouri was almost a dead even state in 2016. about 1500 votes separated sanders and clinton again since suggestions of slippage, the expectations are not god for sanders there, but he's got to keep it close at least. he's got to be competitive in missouri. mississippi depose tomorrow. that's expected to be a blood bath. that's a state in a region where bernie sanders has done terribly four years ago. is doing terribly this year. sanders though, north dakota. does he have a shot there. small state, but could he put up a win there, one up in idaho and of course washington state. these were all big sanders wins. the wild card this time is they have switched

a key state in that race, michigan. sanders won in michigan in 2016. later that year, so did president trump by 10,000 votes. i'll talk to the head of the democratic party in michigan about their plan to turn things around for 2020. but first, let's go right to our nbc news road warriors. mike menially covering the biden campaign in ohio. shaquille brewster in detroit and gary hak in grand rapids, michigan for us. mike, i'll start with you. joe biden is already out on the trail at an auto plant in detroit. as i understand it, things got pretty interesting at his stop. what happened? >> reporter: yeah. you know, it's interesting, craig. we're here in columbus, ohio, where the vice president will be in a couple of hours doing an event with leadership from every town and moms demand action and brady. a number of gun safety advocates who endorsed his campaign. gun safety is an issue that joe biden used as a main policy contrast with bernie sanders. joe biden, the author of the background check is criticizing bernie sanders for supporting legislation that e

there is a real sense of your uy for his campaign in michigan.ive events in the wolverine state in recent days, hoping to replicate his 2016 surprise michigan win over hillary clinton. for biden, the vice president campaigned in michigan with former presidential candidate senators kamala harris and cory booker who joined four other democratic presidential hopefuls, now endorsing biden. >> we have a potential to have a joe biden, who is truly the person in our party, who is truly the one that's calling us to stand together, not to fall apart. >> our campaign is the campaign that in the general election can bring millions of young people to the polls. [ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: biden is banking on support from michigan's independents, black voters, suburban women and working class white voters, the type of coalition he argues is needed to beat president trump. sanders is banking on young voters to show up in record numbers, something they have not done yet in this campaign. >> senator sanders was far too late trying to pivot to what mad

you cannot do that just with michigan.n, he has to look at places like mississippi, which could give biden a huge advantage tonight. >> if he eaks out michigan, winning the state will not mean very much. . >> it's a nice headline but it's a delegate race. ultimately, that's what it comes down to. on top of that bernie's own record, by virtue of being the front runner when asked, if he would pledge the delegate leader at the convention, and he said yes. so he's got a double task ahead of him now. >> after taking a different position four years ago. hidy, what about the women voters you have spoken to, nationally the women voters, the importance of the elizabeth warren endorsement, if there is going to be one, and the fact that there are no viable women left still competing for this nomination. are people talking about that where you are? >> yes. and just look at the women who were in the race. if you want it bring it down to a numbers game. there was kamala harris, amy klobuchar, kirsten gillibrand. women who for lack of a

michigan knows joe biden.tever tax can be levied, they know that he stands with working people in the state of michigan and that is super important for us. >> i lived in michigan when i was younger so i'm familiar with the contours of this state. >> what? what? i didn't know that. >> i did. >> where were you? >> i was in west bloomfield. >> nice. >> yeah. >> and, hillary did real well in those affluent, well-educated counties in oakland, and in the most rural part of the state, i.e., most of the state trump trounced her and the final results were very close and he won michigan by just two -- .2%. >> yeah. >> does trump still have the advantage there? >> well, this is what i would say. in the general election you were right to point out that there was not an aggressive rural strategy. it's interesting because obama had a rural strategy and he went about 28% of the rural vote and hillary clinton chose to double down on getting out the base and she only won about 22% of the rural vote, and that difference -- i me

this is kalamazoo, michigan, home to western michigan. biden is winning the county.win it out right. four years ago, look what bernie sanders did. >> bret: so on this, this is home to the university of michigan. >> that's right. >> bret: he holds a big event, 10,0010,000 kids, aoc. >> saturday night. >> bret: and he loses. he could have chosen this one, where michigan state is. in front of the score they are, may more in-state students, but still, look at all of the other districts and counties. >> your point is well taken. this is ann arbor. you are exactly right. four years ago, this is domination by bernie sanders. and brigh bret, we're going to k about suburban voters. the best example in michigan -- here is detroit, wayne county. this is oakland county. liquid biden is doing, almost 60% now. hillary clinton comparatively, four years ago, only 51%. democrats have come home to their candidate tonight. >> bret: go to missouri real quick. this is stunning. if you look at the numbers for missouri, just into cycles, shelley? joe biden is winning every county in the st

and michigan.ers maybe it wasn't that he was better than clinton back in 2016. people are talking about that. and he wouldn't have run the table in the midwest. and joe biden people just for whatever reason feel safe. safer with him. >> i'm still here. >> let me ask about this. young people and -- you're like the young guy on the team. enthusiasm. whoever ends up running against trump we have two old guys. young people -- tell me what it is. the idea that big ideas can take place that big thinking can happen. that they are really concerned about the climate. they're concerned with social injustice and income disparity. they want someone who talks a big game. of the three major characters in the race right now, bernie sanders is that guy. >> he is a guy although based on the numbers that we have seen so far he has under performed in comparison to how well he did in 2016 against former secretary of state clinton. a lot of young people based on the variables you laid out are concerned about climate ch

ended up winning michigan by 1.5.o let's bring in our panel, fox news senior political analyst brit hume. in chairman. your thoughts as we head into this town hall tonight? we should point out we are going to stream and also carry the president's remarks on fox business, we are going to keep our time frame with the town hall and give you updates throughout. before we hear from senator sanders, your thoughts. >> i would say that if the polls are correct and of course you just pointed out one reason why we need to be skeptical, this could be a bad night for bernie sanders. michigan is the big prize of the three of what he has to worry about is having happened to him the same thing that happened back in 2004 when howard dean was the front runner coming into iowa that year and trailing with john kerry and carrie won the iowa caucuses and never looked back. and i don't think there's anyway to knock bernie sanders out of the race as long as he wants to continue because the bank of small donations will keep them going as lon

hey, matt. >> michigan secretary of state says 1 million people voted early here in michigan.e amount o absentee ballots from the 2016 primary. there getting the hang of the new law that allows any voter t cast absentee ballots for any reason. with that said joe biden is the projected winner here. michigan was considered basically make or break for the bernie sanders campaign. sanders himself was emphasizing how critical this did was to hi and now he's he is the projecte loser. back in 2016 during the primary michigan was a marquee win for sanders, an upset over hillary clinton. out that sanders is projected t these michigan, his path moving forward increasingly difficult, both the momentum and the delegate count. here in the area, joe biden is doing very well. this is a voter rich area, critical for a michigan win wit a large number of black voters. and two of the critical counties , the western side of -- unofficial turnouts show a much tighter race between biden and bernie sanders. michigan does have the most delegates tonight, 125 at stake. michigan has a lot of blue-colla

>> obviously michigan is an enormously important state. i'm very proud that today jesse jackson, who as you know, has been one of the great civil rights leaders in our country, when he ran for president in '88, actually won here in michigan, he will be with me here today and strongly supports our campaign. what reverend jackson understands is that we have to move aggressively to wipe out all forms of racism in this country and we need an economic agenda that speaks to the needs of working people, not just the billionaire class. i think with reverend jackson, we have a real boost in our campaign. we're working as hard as we can because michigan is very, very significant in terms of the primary process. we hope to repeat the victory we had in 2016. >> you canceled an event in mississippi where seven in ten democratic primary voters are black in order to focus on michigan instead. this came of course after black voters overwhelmingly voted for biden on super tuesday. do you worry what message that might send to voters of color in places -- >>

, not to send stuff to michigan. what did you mean by that? >> well, we've entered into a number of contracts. as we are getting closer to the date when shipments are supposed to come in, they're getting canceled or getting delayed. we've been told they're going first to the federal government. and i know michigan is not alone. i saw governor charlie baker, republican from massachusetts, say essentially the same thing. same with mayor garcetti in los angeles. this is an issue that we are confronting as a nation, where we're bidding against one another, we're struggling to grab every ppe that we can get our hands on. this is part of why i'm hopeful that in addition to the defense production act, that we adopt a national strategy and really focus on ramping up where growth has been so fast, like oakland county and wayne county here in michigan. >> governor, good luck to you and everybody in michigan, i know these are difficult days and it's about to get even more difficult. we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >

state to watch is michigan tonight.ders taking part in town hall on fox last night and sanders asked what he would do if he was president right now. >> we have an infrastructure today which is crumbling right before our eyes. we have millions of people spending half of their income on housing in this country, so what i would do is invest in working-class people in good-paying jobs by rebuilding infrastructure roads, bridges. i don't have to tell the people of michigan who have lived through flint, michigan about horrible water system. maria: sanders defeated hillary clinton in michigan back in 2016 which was considered a major upset. this time around biden appears to be the front run e in michigan. polls there opening in michigan at 7:00 p.m. eastern this morning. the fifth, third employees open deposit and credit card accounts without customer approval to meet add beneficiarious sales goals set by the company. in lawsuit filed yesterday in illinois, cfpb say it is cincinnati bank knew what was going on and didn't do en

as the governor mentioned, covid-19 continues to spread rapidly in michigan. cases as of 5486 yesterday. we saw an increase of over 1800 cases in just two days. we also know that 100 32 -- we are still in the early stages of spread and cases have not yet eat. hard to develop the best predictive model to tell us how the disease spreads in our state. we are likely several weeks away from a peak in the number of cases in michigan. the goal of our response has been to slow the spread of the disease as much as possible, particularly so we protect our most foldable and we do not overwhelm our hospitals. several hospitals in this state, particularly southeast michigan, are at capacity. implementing hospital plans and we are pleased leaders have stepped up in support of our public health response. based on the trajectory of the disease and the number of people requiring hospitalizations, we need to derive alternative nontraditional sites of care. we have already identified the center in detroit and plans are already underway at that facility to be able to take care of

voter base here in the state of michigan but also very much a white working class. base of voters here as well and so this shows that the joe biden could win with the black city stone before and also with working class whites this was a state that bernie sanders i thought that he had to win to have any chance moving forward what to see what happens coming out now this set was being described as a make or break state for bernie sanders and he won michigan back in 2016 he beat hillary clinton in michigan in 2016 what is what is it do you think that made the difference will by been you mentioned the african-american votes of course but what made the difference for biden in michigan over many samples. 2 things number one african-americans came out and they voted in huge. numbers for joe biden why i asked many of them after they voted today they said we trust joe biden because he was brought to bomb a spice president that's a message we've heard over and over so i think that's number one number 2 talking to white working class voters who said that their biggest issue was

chris: beat biden in michigan? >> yes, i do. the polling, young, last time around as you indicated, it was seen as a big upset because polling had us down literally by 20 points one day before the election. leland: that was chris wallace on "fox news sunday," and you could see perhaps the skepticism in chris' voice about beating biden in michigan. is michigan must-win for bernie? >> i think it's a very critical state for him to win. i think if he does not win it this time because he won it four years ago, and i think's why you see him in the state for four days. i said unfortunately vice president biden's not coming to detroit, i don't want candidates to blow off michigan the way they did four years ago. it's one of the reasons we lost. president trump didn't. he came and he came and he came and, quite frankly, vice president pence has been here multiple times in the last few months, and the president's been in michigan twice. we need people to not blow off midwest states. i feel strongly are about michigan because i'm from here

i looked down at the southeastern part of michigan, they say michigan, look at your hand, right?rom michigan, what are you from? you point to your hand, because that is the shape of the state. detroit down here. this is where hillary clinton did very well. this is detroit, wayne county. a lot of boats in this part of the state. she won 60% of the vote. this is where joe biden will be looking for major wins tonight. also, suburban detroit here, county of oakland, picked up quite well go bernie sanders. you want to go back decades, go to macomb county, northeastern city, this is where you find reagan democrats, 1984, we all remember that. titer raced in that county with bernie sanders on the ballot against bernie, but nonetheless clinton was victorious four years ago. i will show you missouri. just like hillary clinton won destroyed, she also won the big cities in missouri, as well. over here in the east, st. louis, kansas city and the west, look at these numbers in st. louis county. you are talking, easily the most populated part of the state, upwards of 160,000 votes, so be watch

in michigan biden winning 52% of the vote to sanders's 36%, michigan the biggest prize of the night withelegates, in 2016 sanders won michigan in a shocking upset over hillary clinton thanks to sanders winning over white blue-collar workers in rural areas but this time around biden dominated with these voters, up 22% over sanders. in mississippi biden blowing out sanders by 67 percentage points was a whopping 86% of black voters in mississippi voted for biden. he continues to handily win the black vote nationwide. in misery the tide continued in another double digit win for biden beating sanders 60 percent-34%. biden sweeping every county in michigan, missouri, mississippi. he also won idaho, the win giving him a commanding delegate lead over sanders. >> it is more than a comeback in my view. it is a come back in the soul of this nation. this campaign is taking off and i believe we are going to do well from this point on. take nothing for granted. i want to earn every vote in every single state. >> we are waiting on results from washington state in north dakota. sanders did not speak las

michigan's economy relies on manufacturing and agriculture as well. during a listening tour to michigan last summer,our correspondent jessica gomez showed us how the trade war hurt more than farmers. >> we have approximately 33 hundred acres under our control. normally this time of year we would be seeing lush green crops, right now we are looking at brown dirt everywhere. jessica: that brown dirt, spanning hundreds of acres across the smuts family farm, southwest of lansing, hard to believe now-wet weather was to blame for one of the worst planting season they've ever seen. duane smuts: it didn't rain a lot but it rained enough that were we unable to get back into our fields. it's usually 6 foot or better, taller. jessica: and in westphalia, the corn that did get planted on the schafer farm was weeks and weeks late, brown patches where it was just too wet. what yield they'll get at harvest, still unclear. leroy schafer: it was tough, you want to go to work, you want to do your job, you want to plant your crops, but it's just too wet out there to do i

what is the key in michigan?you're going to win especially in a democratic reason to get to the general you've got to do well down in the detroit area. joe biden is able to do that this evening as we look at weighing at county which includes detroit, biden is comfortable they are still raw numbers as they come in. everybody talks about the suburbs in and around their especially macomb county which is one of the more famous political counties in the entire nation just because of the swing county nature of it. where reagan democrats came from years ago. biden winning it 52 to 42's about it ten-point margin as the votes come in. go back four years ago when bernie won the state he was at least able to keep it close and macomb county. this is a very nice win for joe biden as he puts himself on pace to get to that 1991 magic number you are talking about kennedy that's what it's all about, we'll talk a little bit more in the later in the hour to get into it more little more detail. is the road the nomination in terms of

michigan is a test of the blue collar. that's where he stunt us in 2016 in a different campaign. >> joe biden is not hillary clinton and he does have the auto bail out as he was talking about on the factory floor to the nafta attack that bernie sanders is throwing at him. you can't under estimate the importance of african-american community in michigan. i remember back months ago i had pastor reverend talking to me about their support for joe biden, there are some deep roots there and they're going to come out the for him. hillary clinton did have some of that with black women. joe biden seems to be having a stronger footing in michigan than hillary clinton going in. >> tonight it is so fascinating when you go back to these states four years ago. let's show you here, michigan, 120 delegates. clinton won the state but it was really close. joe biden is hoping to have more democrats and also in st. louis, he's hoping in the suburbs, i will show you more of this. mississippi, joe biden won across the south by big numbers. he's
