for the sanders campaign, former ohio state senator nina turner. nina, thank you for joining us. i know you're in clairmont, new hampshire. i want to ask about your comments on iowa. i want to talk about new hampshire, but first, you did tell in an interview that the actions by tom perez in the way he handled this canvass situation is it looked intentional they were trying to hurt the sanders campaign. it seems sanders himself disagrees. where do you stand on the issue right now? >> what the senator said is we're going to keep watching. it's vitally important you have my congresswoman from the great state of ohio, congresswoman martha fudge, talking about the disarray the democratic party is in. we know that iowa went awry. i do agree with the senator that something twent terribly wrong

co-chair of bernie sanders 2020 campaign, former ohio state senator nina turner. thank you very much for joining us on what is a very busy weekend for you, obviously. senator sanders has been able to get the delegate advantage but joe biden has momentum going into south carolina. what are your expectations today? >> the senator is going to be very competitive in the state. we have been in the state for well over a year now, building the type of relationships that are necessary. the senator himself has been to almost 60 events in the state. and that doesn't count people like me and others who are national co-chairs and national surrogates in and out of state trying to win over the entire state. and particularly the african-american community. as we know who represent about 60% of the primary voters. you have to earn people's votes. and not assume that just because proximity to the first black president, that you deserve to get those votes. >> agreed. notably. senator sanders is not in south carolina today, and you are there, however, how big of a

chance to listen to or hear my interview with nina turner, who is also a former state legislator. she was a former state senator in ohio. and, you know, she was trying to make the case that there could be unity even if people don't necessarily agree with democratic socialism around sort of an fdr agenda that down-ballot candidates could still embrace even if they reject the idea of socialism in and of itself. how did that ring to you, and do you believe that there is a potentially unifying message that the sanders campaign could put forward that people would believe, that black voters will believe, that south carolinians will believe? >> joy, you raised the most important point i've been thinking about is what does a nominee mean for down-ballot races. i'm in charleston county where i live. we're five seats away from taking back the state senate. so if i'm a state senate candidate in south carolina, i'm asking the question, who do i want to be at the top of the ticket? who has a unifying message that can help me reach persuadable voters, moderate voters, voters who i'm going to ne

joining me now is nina turner, the national co-chair of the bernie sanders campaign. i've known nina for a long time. it's quite a long time. >> yes. >> so congratulations, first of all. >> thank you. >> this was a decisive victory. this was not like iowa and new hampshire where it was like a little bit of a tie, little bit of a win. this was a decisive win. >> absolutely. >> and, you know, i wanted to let that play just a little bit what senator warren was saying. because as i was thinking about, you know, where this seemed to be going in terms of senator sanders doing so well here in nevada in a state with not only a lot of latin x, lot of black, lot of aapi people but also a lot of hard-working people who are of low wealth. people who work for a little bit of money. she talked about her mom having to save the family at age 50 and go back to work. she tells this story that is really moving about want. >> very. >> and when we are living in a country where people are feeling such deep want and watching such exorbitant, ridiculous wealth on the other side of where they

nina turner, appreciate you coming on, from manchester. >> thank you. always. >> saying president trump learned his lesson after being acquitted, senator collins is now tap dancing around that question and what she is saying and not saying today. >>> and president trump weighing in on the democratic primary and who he'd rather face in the general election. if you're 55 and up, t-mobile has a plan designed just for you. and, for a limited time only, we're making it an even better deal. now you can get two lines for only $55. that includes unlimited talk, text and data. with no annual service contracts. it also includes talk, text and data when traveling in mexico and canada. so if you're 55 and up, you can now get two lines for only $55. because at t-mobile, we have a plan designed just for you. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >>> it's been one week since the senate acquitted pres

and let me thank senator nina turner. we're here today for two purposes.umber one, we are united and understanding that we have got to defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of america. we have to defeat him and we will defeat him. we will defeat him because the american people are sick and tired of a president who is a pathological liar. they are sick and tired of a president who is running a corrupt administration. and i'll give you an example. very close example why we will beat donald trump. trump is here today in charleston, south carolina. now, all of you know there is a global health care crisis taking place right now with the coronavirus. countries all over the world are working frantically to figure out how they can control the virus, how we can get a vaccine to deal with the virus, and here in america, obviously we got to do the same. one might think that in the midst of a major health care crisis the president of the united states would be assembling doctors and scientists and researchers. not donald trump. he is here in south

and on a personal note i have a lot of respect for nina turner, she's a huge talent with a big future but, here come the butt. no one should buy dependent easy consensus that varney is a populist like trump. he is not. there are the four reasons why. first, trump wasn't outsider. varney is actually an insider. before entering the presidential race, donald trump never ran for anything. he was never in politics and approached it like a problem-solving businessman. he combined traditional conservative ideas with new more populist one. pro-business on tax and regulation but pro- worker on trade and immigration. pro- america on defense and profamily unpaid leave and child tax credit. conservative judges and criminal justice reform. and perhaps in the long term his most important shift of all, upending the consensus on china. trump's original innovative policy mix is something only an outsider could've put together. by contrast varney has been a political insider all his life. almost four decades he's collected taxpayer-funded paychex as a mayor, congressman and now senator. he's not even i

your national co-chair, nina turner, said that the timing of that quote does look fairly intentional, unquote. do you think the democratic party is trying to openly hurt your campaign? >> all i can say about iowa is it was an embarrassment. it was a disgrace to the good people of iowa, who take their responsibilities in the caucuses very seriously. they screwed it up badly is what the iowa democratic party did. but at the end of the day, most important to me, i don't know how anybody can debate it, we ended up 6,000 votes ahead of anyone else. and after the realignment process, a fine process, we ended up 2500 votes ahead of mayor buttigieg. when you win an election from 6,000 or 2500 votes where i come from, you win the primary or the caucus. we are confident, in fact, we won the iowa caucus and i thank the people of iowa for that. >> do you think the democratic party, whether the iowa democratic party or the dnc, was trying to hurt you, though? >> i have no idea. we're going to monitor the situation. all i can tell you is what most americans know. we are taking on the entire establi

. >> nina turner said that bloomberg is an oligarch. what do you think of that?on't really get this russia thing. i mean, the sanders campaign seems to talk about russia about as much as the president does, when people throw down terms like that, it makes me nervous about their motives. i will say that mike is running a positive campaign, and he has urged all democrats to unite behind running a campaign against the president. if he's not the nominee he'll support senator sanders because donald trump is an existential threat to this country. i would encourage people all across the country to take that same attitude. >> thanks so much, hope we can get your boss on state of the union sometime soon. >> we'll get him all right, thanks so much. >>> coming up, was this disaster entirely avoidable? some tech experts say yes. the warning signs that telegraph this fiasco ahead. the trump re-election campaign appears to be basking in the democrats' agony. how they're trying to benefit from all this. stay with us. if you're 55 and up, t-mobile has a plan designed just for yo

. >> and we are joined now by national co-chair of that very sanders campaign, nina turner.ing here tonight. >> thanks, ari. >> let's start with a little bit of policy. bernie sanders has again a lot of attention for his economics. i want to show you briefly where his plan stacks up against senator warren and now mike bloomberg. a wealth tax for billionaires by sanders is the highest, 8%. warren has that at 3. bloomberg doesn't have that. while his tax rate is 52, warren at 40, bloomberg is in with a rate at 45% and a sur tax on people making over $5 million. translati translation, it looks like even mike bloomberg is moving in your direction. what do you make of that? and do you think it's fair to say that several candidates now have economic populist proposals here? >> well, ari, all of the democrats are running on some version of the platform according to senator bernie sanders. so it is very clear the courage and the conviction that the senator had in 2016 is percolating throughout the democratic party so that any democratic candidate worth their salt who is running for

let's bring in nina turner, national co-chair of the bernie sanders campaign. see you laughing because you know that that is the question coming out of that intro. is it a problem? >> no. we have to break it down. the senator has done that many times. since we are on black history month it is apropos to bring up the dr. martin luther king jr. who talked about the fact we have socialism for the rich and wealthy an rugged individualism for the poor. really what does democratic socialism mean? government of, for and by the people, putting the focus on the people. medicare for all. insuring that people have the opportunity to live a good life, that their material conditions are changed. it is not changing in this country right now. ceos enjoy 900% wage increase while workers barely 5.5%. so what exactly does that word mean? it is unfortunate that the vice president is using that as a boogieman attempt. voters being asked in a certain poll who do you believe is best to go up against president trump and senator bernie sanders tops those polls each and every time. >>

i wish he was here with us tonight. >> so i'm going to let you listen to the incomparable nina turnerand i will talk to you later. nina: thank you, dr. j! [applause] nina: wow. that was beautiful to have the senator. thank you, ari, and thanks to the team. and we all know the senators in desha senator in d.c. are working so hard for us, and we really respect and appreciate everything that he is doing. can we give him another round of applause? [applause] nina: it was like magic. dr. j came out on the stage and all of a sudden technology started to work, it was a beautiful thing. so let me wrap this up, because i want to bring to you one of your own, an activist in her own right, served on the school board, miss langford. she is fierce in every single way and standing up for the people of this great state. i am grateful to be side-by-side with her in this mission. speaking of missions, iowa, i just want you to understand the -- understand this, iowa. the elite of this country can say all they want to say, but there is a movement afoot. and dr. west describes it as love train, i call it

i feel bad that you're not here with us, karine. >> i know. >> well, we're going to talk with nina turnerhat would you want to know from the campaign at this point? because there's been -- you know, today, senator sanders was trending with a text that said the republican establishment and the democratic establishment, here's a message to you. sort of a kind of, you know, sort of a negative kind of message at the two of them, including democrats. what do you -- what would you advise the sanders campaign to do if they are indeed the front-runner vis-a-vis the rest of the party? >> i think for me, the number one thing is we cannot re-litigate 2016. we have to come out of that. and look at what's ahead in 2020. and the fight that's ahead. and so a message of unifying would -- is going to be key here. and it has to come from bernie sanders. it has to come from the guy that people, like you said, people follow and they're loyal to. i heard you say that earlier on in this hour. and so that is what i want to hear because we can't stay divided. we can't stay back in the past because donald trump i

kevin: right behind me as one of senator sanders top surrogates, state senator nina turner rallying up the proud. senator sanders expected to take the stage. he will continue with his pitch of what he is describing as economic inclusivity. they are pushing back against the cynicism that his self-described label of a democratic-socialist would not be something that would help him in a general election. jeff weaver, the senator senior advisor telling me they are prepared to call the president and "corporate socialist." beyond that, they are trying to seize momentum. the trio of polls that have come out within the past day shows senator sanders leading the field, but with former south bend mayor pete buttigieg a close second. the on that, amy klobuchar trying to battle ahead of elizabeth warren and former vice president joe biden, regardless of who wins tomorrow, there will be pressure on some of these candidates to drop out of the race. ourd: thanks a much to chief washington correspondent kevin cirilli. manchester.ack to the reason we are here is because of the primary. the president se

>> nina turner, stacey abrams. >> senator harris. >> 57% of african-americans live in the south so youwoman who can galvanized black voters, especially black women voters who are more inclined than any other group to go out and vote. >> joining me is tremayne lee. thank you for doing that. >> of course. >> i have been really interested in hearing what black south bend residents think of mayor pete. what is the most surprising thing you heard from that group of folks? >> surprising, that's tough. mayor pete does enjoy some support from black folks in south bend, primarily city leadership. once you get into the black community, far away from downtown where the city pumped tens of millions of dollars into and then you come out to the neighborhoods that are struggling financially, lack of access to quality health care and all those things, the story of mayor pete becomes more complicated. you think of the struggle of black folks in this country, the way we're policed. think about the killing of eric logan over the summer. there are folks still not over the handling of the case. when you th
