we did not see pete buttigieg take on joe biden last night. i think that was not by accident. it was, in part, because there's a clear sense in his campaign. and with buttigieg personally that the person who is most like him idealogically is going to have to be a joe biden-type figure. i think for the candidates who believe that they want a different kind of politics from what bernie sanders is offering, this moment is so important for them because it's going to require some of them to take a step back. buttigieg has been drawing crowds of 2,003,000 in some of these states. it was a tough decision to take a step back from that and say i don't have a path forward, somebody else might. i need to at least get out of the way, if not throw my support behind someone else. >> david, why not make an endorsement tonight then? >> yeah, ana. i think he will make an dormant at some point soon. we'll see what he says in this speech tonight. clearly, the sooner he does it, the more value it has, and the more he is able to sort of parlay that into future good will. but this is already a prett

he's already tweeting about his reaction to pete buttigieg leaving the race, saying pete buttigieg is out, all of his super tuesday votes will go to sleepy joe biden. great timing. this is the real beginning of the dems taking bernie out of play. no nomination again. what's your reaction? >> this is a big project of the trump campaign and the president himself. they want to drive a riff between democrats and speak to those very devoted sanders supporters and suggest perhaps the process was rigged against him. the rules are clear you have to have a majority. four years ago bernie sanders argued against the notion if you had a plurality, didn't get a majority, you should be in a nominee. but he's in a different position now. so, trump is trying to stir that pot. believe me, if sanders were nominated, his solicitude for bernie would disappear pretty quickly. it's clear what they're trying to do. i do think there's a danger for joe biden. if he allows himself to become merely a status quo candidate. there are a lot of young add ylists supporting bernie sanders because they feel strongly a

and the hope for biden looking at this news from pete buttigieg tonight is, in some of these states, is buttigieg's absence going to provide a new pool of voters biden can tap into do not fall as far behind sanders in the delegates. california, the numbers have been a little all over the map in terms of the non-sanders candidates in california. they got biden at 13%. he desperately needs to get to 15% statewide. they got buttigieg at seven. is there some buttigieg support, enough that could get biden up to 15. california, a state we got a lot of mail-in voting, there will be lot cast tuesday. and you can see this happening across the board. this wasmo massachusetts last night. most folks are going to vote on tuesday. it's a sanders/warren fight. buttigieg is sitting at 12%. there are a lot of delegates in massachusetts. if this was right now, bernie sanders is picking up dozens of delegates and biden is picking up none. if biden can get to 15% in massachusetts, suddenly he's not falling that far behind bernie in the delegates. play it out in colorado and minnesota. but sanders is ant

that's particularly true of pete buttigieg and symptom steyer. tai could guide something. i don't think everybody that voted for buttigieg and voted for him will necessarily go to biden but get a big chunk of it. if you want to help him, do it soon. don't do it later. it's too late in about three or four weeks. >> you were once an advisor of richard nixon and famously picked up endorsement of wilt chamberlain. do celebrity endorsements particularly make an effect? >> any time wilt chamberlain in dorsz richard nixon, that's news. there are odd things that go on with celebrities. the president i think got the most help from celebrities was probably john kennedy. he was surrounded by them and there was a rap pore he had with people in hollywood and really made a difference in his presidency. >> david gergen, thank you very much. sorry about the mic issues. >> not a problem. >>> for staying on top of the coronavirus epidemic. dr. sanja gupta will let you know what you need to know as well as the new screening measures, when we come back. we're live i

pete buttigieg's decision to suspend the campaign coming hours after he planned to push forward into r tuesday and you know that stern speculation about maybe teaming one somebody still in the race. the buttigieg and biden campaigns have had talks about consolidating the support and aides for both campaigns are saying that they have spoken by phone this morning. let me bring in vaughn hillyard. once pete buttigieg announced his change of plans, not just on the travel front but on the campaign front as well, talk to us about what buttigieg is up today and what you see for him in next 48 hours. still a part of the conversation, out of the race. >> hallie, that's obviously the question. i was just talking with mike before he went on the air with you there. aides we should note to both campaigns have confirmed that they have talked and that the talks would be around the idea of consolidating support around biden. of course super tuesday is tomorrow. ballots are already out. and at what point is a pete buttigieg endorsement able to help joe biden here ahead of super tuesday? >> sooner rath

pete buttigieg, he's 38 years old. we could be having a conversation 40 years from now when he's the age of bernie sanders. he could still be running for president again. he has a lot of time on his side. this is hardly the last we have heard of pete buttigieg. and we might be hearing of him in consideration for vice president or cabinet positions if it got to that point. jon: dave leventhal, thank you for your analysis. >> thank you. jon: wall street is still reeling from a historic still off prompted be i the coronavirus epidemic -- prompted by the coronavirus epidemic worldwide. what is the outlook for the market as the epidemic continues your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. did you know that every single flush fling odors onto your soft surfaces? then they get released back into the air so you smell them later. ew. right? that's why febreze created small spaces. press firmly and watch it get to work... unlike the leading cone, small spaces continuously eliminates odors in the air and on surfaces so they don't come b

pete buttigieg is suspending his campaign for president. the former mayor made a splash and had a strong showing in the iowa caucuses. he has since seen his prospect fades. he's the youngest candidate and the first openly gay candidate running for president. >>> while pete buttigieg is out, bernie sanders is making a last minute push here in california ahead of super tuesday. a huge crowd turned out to see him at a rally in san jose this afternoon. abc7 news was there, liz was there, she got a chance to talk to people. >> reporter: 10,000 people showed up to his people here in san jose today. sanders is showing a lot of confidence in california. when you look at the polls he was the only candidate hitting the 15% threshold needed to get statewide delegates. pete buttigieg is out of the race now, a lot can change on tuesday. in frol in front of a massive crowd, bernie sanders made his final pitch to california voters. >> we are opening the door for young people in an unprecedented way to get involved. >> reporter: ahead of his rally, we sat

here we not only have amy klobuchar endorsing, but pete buttigieg as well. it's a good day for joe biden. >> yeah, this is very good news for the biden campaign. he's onstage right now. he is sticking to his stump speech. he came out and told the crowd, they said my campaign is dead and i am very much alive, i'm back. he's sticking to his talking points right now, but as far as the campaign, i did talk to a campaign aide about the amy klobuchar endorsement, and they wrote back saying what their line of thinking, they are thinking the joe-mentum, that's what they are calling it, is real. brooke, it remains to be seen, because the voters have to vote to see if it's true, but, again, he's in texas today, a very delegate-rich state, and we are at hbcu, texas southern university, and he's trying to get to as many voters as possible here in texas before going to california. but think about the visuals of amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg, and the biden campaign looks the likes of consolidating. >> their perspective on this duel mega endorsement, and also ahead, bre

there are also reports mayor pete buttigieg, who dropped out yesterday, will do the same. whether they were inspired by biden's landslide victory in the most diverse and the most populous state, the vote so far, or by the desire to mount a moderate democratic candidate in the general election? the last 48 hours have catapulted joe biden to the top of the bernie alternative lane, transforming the once crowded contest into a two-man race. biden sounded a comeback note, seemingly foreshadowing the coalescing around his candidacy. >> those of you that have been knocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign. just days ago the press and the pundits declared this candidacy dead. now, thanks to all of you, the horde of the democratic party, we just won and we've won big because of you. >> mayor pete's withdrawal lasts night also left the distinct impression he'd throw his weight before the former vice president. >> with every passing day i'm more and more convinced the only way we'll defeat trump and trumpism is with a new politics that gathers people together. we

the staging of pete buttigieg coming out with joe biden?'s important for the drama, the horse race. but we want to keep our eyes on what's most important and that's not the political horse race. what's important is the experience of the american people. we have a rigging of the u.s. economy. that's the rigging -- >> all right. i'm sorry to interrupt, i apologize. we'll have you back soon. here's mayor pete. >> when i ran for president, we made it clear that the whole idea was about rallying the country together to defeat donald trump and to win the era for the values that we share. and that was always a goal that was much bigger than me becoming president. and it is in the name of that very same goal that i'm delighted to endorse and support joe biden for president. and i do it with great pleasure, knowing just how much we need to do not only to win, which is so very important. and when i say "win," not just win back the white house but make sure we bring back the vitally important house and senate and local races with us. but also that we'

let's hear from pete buttigieg. [video clip] of definedyear expectations, the truth is the path is narrowed to a close. for our candidacy, it is not for our cause. a number of values is responsibility. we have a responsibility to consider the effect of remaining in this race any further. helpoal has always been to unify americans to defeat donald trump, and to any the era for the eraes -- to winn for our values. [applause] recognize, the best way to keep faith with those goals and ideals is to step aside and help bernardo party in our country together, so tonight, i'm making the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. thell no longer seek to be 20/20 democratic nominee for president, but i will do everything in my a power to ensure that we have a new, democratic president come january. jerry -- [cheers and applause] host: are we standing with the delegate count, and what may we expect after super tuesday. guest: sanders is still leading the count, and after super tuesday, number of other campai

coupled with pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar bowing out of the race this afternoon is opening a new lane. just hours before super tuesday voting begins. mike emanuel is live on the ground and dallas where joe biden is about to speak. >> 20 200 delegates at stake he, which is why joe biden is investing serious time and energy in houston and dallas today. when he gets on stage here in dallas tonight, biden is expected to have some serious help from formal rivals now endorsing his campaign. mayor pete buttigieg dropped out yesterday and is due to travel here to dallas to appear with biden. amy klobuchar dropped out today and is expected on stage this evening. the democratic establishment appears to be rattling around joe biden. he's clearly hoping to win and succulent in the democratic field is starting to shrink. biden took on bernie sanders with the swipe. >> we did it, we one in south carolina. that's like we will do all across america. the country is hungry, hungry to be united. look. there's no promise of evolution, they want a guarantee of resul results. >> they have sanders up s

then pete buttigieg last night. now amy klobuchar not just dropping out but coming here to say i support joe biden. how do you read that in terms of impact? >> well, momentum on one sense is abstract. on the other hand, we're experiencing it right now. we're here talking about it. that's what it gives joe biden right now. it shoots him back to the limelight in a positive way. he's had a lot of negative way. he's had a lot of negative media coverage about disappointment. now it's about building momentum, and this has real concrete benefits for him in amy klobuchar already has minnesota locked up, that gets transferred over to biden effectively. they have early voting in minnesota since january. she's already banked a lot of votes that will now accrue the benefit of joe biden. >> also joining us, steve adler, austin's mayor. you were a pete buttigieg supporter. last night i think by all measures he gave an incredibly inspiring speech in his decision to step down. would you like to see him now supporting joe biden? >>

how do you think the absence of pete buttigieg will change the race?t will change the race even more in joe biden's favor, because i think if you look at the message that mayor pete had, it is not one of a revolution. it is not one of a medicare for all. it's a medicare for all who want it. i think that's a wonderful line because that's essentially what joe biden has been saying for so many months now. so i'm hoping that as we go forward, those moderate voices like mayor pete's are going to move and see how we can best win this election, who can best bring this country together, who is a healer and uniter and that's joe biden. >> we hear the conventional wisdom say if bernie sanders is the nominee, it will negatively affect some down ballot races like yours, like some in swing districts or states, but can you just explain that logic to me. how -- if voters like you and like what you've done for them, doug jones, why would they hold bernie sanders against you? >> well, look, i think that everybody -- you have to run on a ticket to the best extent you ca

i don't think this is the end of pete buttigieg. >> he was a moderate. who benefits from him dropping out of the race for president? >> right. you look at the makeup of what's left, you look at joe biden who is a moderate who continues to surge after south carolina. i think likely that's where we will see some of those voters go. that's a good point because in the state of california, which is part of super tuesday, many voters have held onto their ballots, a lawaiting to see wha happens. this is case in why they did th >> who do you think is next? >> i think amy klobuchar. you look at her numbers and how she's been polling especially in some of these super tuesday states and the bottom line is monday. once you run out of money and campaign donations, what do you do? that's the other question about pete buttigieg is he had major billion therapy backers, which has always been a point of contention for some of the candidates, some of them here in the bay area. so do some of them now throw their support and their treasure behind one of these other candidate

all of this is coming on the heels of pete buttigieg stepping out.hat is happening right now, brooke, is a consolidation of the moderates. what we heard the senator talk over and over again, she's concerned about senator bernie sanders leading the ticket and she did not want that to happen. certainly we are seeing a spectacular move by the center, making that statement by simply calling it quits on her campaign. >> with buttigieg, and now klobuchar creating more space. you have had great reporting as has jeff zeleny, and also joining us, a member of the democratic national committee and the author of "primary politics:everything you need to know how america nominates its presidential candidates." alaine, to you and then jeff. the moderate ring of the party seems to be moving at a quick pace, right, to all unite around joe biden. your reaction after the news of amy klobuchar. >> i think if biden not has done as well, he would have won but by a smaller margin, but frankly was he had the solid vote and the all america african-american vote, which he loc

then pete buttigieg, last night pete buttigieg announced that he too is dropping out of the race. this afternoon we learned that not only was pete buttigieg ending his presidential campaign, but he will endorse joe biden, which he did just an hour ago among the picnic tables out back at the chicken scratch restaurant in dallas, texas. today senator amy klobuchar announced that she too is suspending her presidential campaign and that she too will endorse former vice president joe biden. and then finally just a little while ago, just within the last hour or so, we learned that texas congressman beto o'rourke will also endorse vice president joe biden tonight. congressman o'rourke, of course, ended his own presidential bid in november before the first votes were cast. tonight, after pete buttigieg already endorsed joe biden, and as amy klobuchar heads to joe biden's dallas rally for a show of unity there, we expect that congressman o'rourke will also appear onstage at that rally in dallas to deliver his support to vice president biden. so like i said, big day. and you go back to the

and also for pete buttigieg. you're looking at people holding their ballots like me making a decision tomorrow coming down to bernie or joe or liz as our top three because we know them the best and they've connected with us the best. i think what bloomberg is learning, it's one thing to campaign in new york city. it's another to campaign in the national democratic party, where women especially of color are going to be the heartbeat of this race. right now they're not going to bloomberg. >> what is your sense of where women of color are going in california? >> they're telling us -- 80% of the people haven't turned in their ballots so it will be something to watch over the next few days. as you know it takes two to three weeks to count the ballots in california. it will be awhile. i'm going to be looking to my sisters to see where are you? who do you still like? a lot of people liked kamala harris and were very upset that the financial constraints that led to her dropping out early and not being able to compete tom

pete buttigieg ended his campaign last night. joining us now, dana bash, karen finney, and wajahat ali. i just want to play some of buttigieg's announcement last night he was ending his campaign in case people went to sleep early. because this is a big moment in the campaign. >> so i urge everyone who supported me to continue in the cause of ensuring we bring change to the white house and working to win the absolutely critical down ballot races playing out across the country this year. there is simply too much at stake to retreat to the sidelines at a time like this. >> we're going to have a chance to talk about buttigieg, his impact and the decision in a minute. to me this is a side effect of the bigger story here. the entire dynamic has changed in the last 48 hours. joe biden's huge win in south carolina really changes things up. what are you looking at the stakes for tomorrow? >> they're so high. for joe biden, bernie sanders, and a big question mark about what mike bloomberg is going to do. what pete buttigieg did was try to l

we do begin this half hour with pete buttigieg's historic presidential campaign coming to an end. >> he is urging party unity and vowing to help put a democrat back in the white house. buttigieg is the first openly gay candidate to make a serious run for the white house. his departure follows a commanding victory by joe biden in the south carolina primary. >> the remaining candidates are now looking ahead to super tuesday with contests in more than a dozen states. abc's richard cantu has the latest on the race. >> reporter: pete buttigieg, the former mayor of south bend, indiana, whose presidential campaign propelled him to strong finishes in iowa and new hampshire, officially bowing out of the race sunday night. >> i will no longer seek to be the 2020 democratic nominee for president. but i will do everything in my power to ensure that we have a new democratic president come january. >> reporter: an aide telling abc news buttigieg made the decision after his disappointing finish in south carolina, apparently no longer seeing a path forward. for the rest of the democratic field, it's

last night when mayor pete buttigieg got out, he can read a spreadsheet. he can look at the win-loss column and knew he wouldn't do it. he got a lot of positive press coverage for doing that. i'm sure that wasn't lost on them. >> sometimes politicians get their ego so tied up and they're exhausted and have the supporters and ask people for money. they get out too late when it doesn't make a difference. smart making this call right now. there's no guarantee. the press so just estimated joe biden. i want to take a point to write him off, dead, buried after iowa and new hampshire. huge comeback in south carolina. but since he was basically out of money and hasn't had much ground game in the 14 super tuesday states, it remains to be seen whether these can help. certainly the combined effect of the party coalescing around the party gives him a boost. >> dana: and the media is all ready to write a pivot story. they love to write about the underdog, believe it or not. i think vice president would have been considered the underdog in his first three contests, iowa

what path is her campaign seeing that pete buttigieg didn't? plus another candidate still holding on, senator amy klobuchar, a live look at an event in utah, another state casting votes tomorrow. we'll show you a tough moment her campaign faced last night. saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. but you're not, because you have e*trade whose tech makes life easier by automatically adding technical patterns on charts and helping you understand what they mean. don't get mad, get e*trade. you have power over pain, so the whole world looks different. the unbeatable strength of advil. what pain? so chantix can help you quit slow turkey. along with support, chantix is proven to help you quit. with chantix you can keep smoking at first and ease into quitting so when the day arrives, you'll be more ready to kiss cigarettes goodbye. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have

pete buttigieg is out all of his super tuesday votes will go to sleepy joe biden. great timing.his is the real beginning of the dems taking bernie out of play. no nomination again. and we did hear what lasting night buttigieg and biden were with trying to connect via phone, meantime remaining candidates wish the wow got on with super tuesday campaign blitz. >> biggest chunk in california were ten of thousands were feeling burn sunday at rallies in los angeles and san jose is. and according to some polls here, super tuesday really could be a tight race. take a look at this nbc poll that shows 26% of voters polled in north carolina support senator sanders biden is close behind, though, with 24.. down in texas sanders is dominating field at 34% with biden at 19% bloomberg at 15. and then look at this a boston globe poll shows sanders and elizabeth warren locked in really a statistical tie in warren home state of massachusetts. sanders with 24 warren at the 22. and listen to this some of those early voters in california now asking if they can get a doover now that buttigieg has drop

folks like pete buttigieg and joe biden believe they should be the counter to sanders. will super tuesday clarify who that bernie sanders counter is, or does bernie sanders run away with this, vaughn. >> that's the question. thank you very much, value minute yard. kanisha grant, chris lieu, and susan del percio, welcome all. kanisha, to you first here, as we look at this nbc polling out of the state of north carolina, it shows bernie sanders leading joe biden by just two points, certainly well within the margin of error. 7% of voters remain undecided. how much do you think last night's huge win just, you know, to the south there in south carolina, moves the headwinds for biden? >> i think they're going to be incredibly important in moving those headwinds. i think we've been hearing a campaign of joe biden as a person who is not viable and bernie sanders as a person who is viable. now we have folks who might have been on the fence about biden who might feel more comfortable supporting him now. we might have some black voters who are worried about casting their vote to hi

let's talk about tom steyer, let's talk about former mayor pete buttigieg dropping out over the weekend. how might this shift the electorate considering the reporting that we have heard about the buttigieg and biden camp talking ahead of buttigieg dropping out? >> of the two, the buttigieg departure from the race is going to have much more effect. buttigieg actually racked up a respectable amount of delegates, finished either first or second in iowa, depending how you count it and second in the new hampshire primary. so he actually does have some delegates, if he were to throw those, say, to joe biden, that would be helpful. it would also have the psychological effect of basically anointing biden as the front runner and pressuring the other candidates to drop out as well. >> david, how does joe biden's victory in south carolina change the overall nature of the race and his momentum, if you map out the super tuesday states, where do you see him doing well? where do you see him falling up short. >> the biggest challenge for biden is making sure south carolina is not a one hit wonder, that

and yesterday pete buttigieg dropped out of the race as well. now, pete's campaign was an historic campaign and brave campaign. he is the first openly gay candidate for president in the united states. and tonight i want to open the door to amy's supporters, to pete's supporters. i know that there are political differences, but i also know that virtually all of amy's support and pete's support understand that we have got to move toward a government which believes in justice, not greed. >> all right. now, we're watching bernie sanders in minnesota. and you just saw something very initial for senator sanders. now one thing you're witnessing that is the only time you'll see it on the democratic side is with sanders to this point, the energy of that crowd. you're not going to see anything like that for any of the other democrats involved until you get to the convention. but let's bring in our two debaters that we have tonight from michigan that we had before, abdul el-sayed and jennifer granholm. i haven't heard the senator deal with dissent the way h

amy klobuchar, pete buttigieg and beto o'rourke.have never seen them drop out so quickly and rally around one candidate, so is former president obama playing a role in this? we know that pete buttigieg for example spoke to obama before he came out and said he was in fact going to announce joe biden. what will the impact be here in states like california? this obviously has the biggest delegate haul, hallie. senator sanders looking very strong here. but if biden can get above that 15% threshold, if he can get delegates that would be significant for him. same as texas. he wants a win in the south. look, he's the one who can lead the top of the ticket because he can rally a diverse electorate. will that hold today? those are among the questions we're looking for and of course the x-factor in all of this, michael bloomberg. we know that moderate candidates are turning up the heat on bloomberg to get oat of the race and he said he won't do that. i snow josh has more about that, but bottom line, how will he do today? will he eat into any

democratic candidate pete buttigieg is out. he is expected to formally announce he's withdrawing from the race in 30 minutes from now. an announcement expected in indiana. he was the first openly gay presidential candidate. narrowly won the iowa caucuses last month, but came in fourth in last night's south carolina primary. >>> one-on-one with bernie sanders. speaking with nba bay area about a number of topics ahead of super tuesday. christie smith joins us live now with the interview and a look at that rally. >> reporter: terry, we had a chance to sit down with senator sanders and ask him about some of the bigger issues that are facing people here in california, the lack of affordable, housing, and he says these are some of the same issues that he likes to address with his supporters and what we heard him talking about at a rally here today in san jose where thousands of enthusiastic supports came out. he touched on things like student loan debt relief, climate change and health care. familiar things in his campaign. he also m

obviously, pete buttigieg, that was the news out of the weekend, no longer factor.den closero bernie sanders at this point. >> biden was the big winner in south carolina. he closed the gap rapidly. tomorrow you have 14 states that will determine who will be the nominee, you have over 1300 delegates. the big two states when you look at california and texas, what's amedication is, they've already cast -- what's amazing is, they've already cast a lot of these. when you look at texas and california, they've already cast a lot of their votes by early voting or by mail. and in california, we may not know who wins in california for weeks because they have until election day to post on tuesday, post it in the mail, and it takes time to come in. jillian: elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar have single digits at this point. >> if elizabeth warren gets over 15% of the vote, she gets delegates. she's still a factor. but what it's coming down to, prior to south carolina, sanders was ahead in nine of the 14 states and you had bloomberg win in three. bloomberg with his commercial a
