biden gets 63%, sanders at 18%. that's a 45-point victory among african-american voters for joe biden. michael bloomberg, one of the things dana said she was looking for in virginia tonight. how did he do with african-american voters? only 10% of african-american voters according to this exit poll in virginia. take a look at the electability factor. 55% of the electorate is looking for a candidate that can beat donald trump. among those voters looking for a trump defeater, 58%, a sizable majority go for joe biden. sanders, 39 points behind him at 19%. and bloomberg and warren both at 11% with those voters looking for a trump defeater. in vermont, how did bernie sanders win vermont? wolf, obviously it's his home state. very liberal voters make up about 30% of the electorate there. three out of ten voters say they're very liberal. sanders wins them with 70% of them. warren is behind him by about 51 points, 19% she gets among very liberal voters. and take a look at this issue of looking for a candidate who can bring nee

biden beat sanders 43-26. can be trump in november is joe biden by more than 20 points. if you look at noncollege, white voters, working-class blue-collar voters, joe biden beat bernie sanders in minnesota, but he was just king ce thy s the special access to these new color voters. so, the girding under structure of his campaign is taking some hits tonight, and not just the fact he is losing in delegate numbers. >> the other factor there for minnesota, if you ask democratic primaries if you would refer to turn to the policies of barack obama or become a more liberal party, it is divided almost evenly. order 3% said let's become more liberal and 42% saying let's go back to the ways of obama. if the number holds like that in minnesota, that helps explain why biden is winning. whatever cabinet position she wants, amy klobuchar has it after what she has done for him in the last 24 hours. >> it is an extraordinary night thus far for joe biden. six states he has won. bernie sanders two states, but the big two prizes

how did biden win there? sanders has taken vermont, colorado and utah. remember, it takes 1,991 delegates to win the nomination and here's where it stands right now. biden with the lead at 344. we have yet to call here at cbs california or tex l toute progre in the process. democrats across the country are going to have to listen. we call it mean sanders and there's a couple issues. let's look at the matrix in california level of support. free tuition for public colleges, support 76%. only 20% opposed. something that's been identified mostly with bernie sanders campaign. let's go to healthcare. replace all private health insurance, all private health insurance with a government plan. that would be medicare for all. bernie sanders very aggressive on that. supporting california 57%, opposed 36%. also what do california democrats think about the economic system. needs a complete overhaul. 52% needs minor changes. norah more than 90% want some change in the economic system. that does favor bernie sanders but if you're in silicon valley or san francisco or los

. >> bernie sanders wins the big prize on super tuesday, but it looks like the night will belong to joe biden, senator sanders came out on top in california, but joe biden has won twice as many states. hello everyone.>> 14 states were up for grabs, all but 2 are undecided got states won by biden are in orange, sanders green, but into massachusetts, jordan north carolina, minnesota, and sanders took utah, colorado and the all- important city california. so far texas and maine are too close to call, but joe biden is slightly ahead in both of them.>> foxnews declared sanders the winner in california moments after the polls closed, the latest numbers, with 85% of precincts reporting, senator sanders has 30%, joe biden 20%, mike bloomberg with 17%, and elizabeth warren 12%. greg lee is here with with the top two candidates had to say this evening. >> all along with been talking about momentum building into super tuesday, make no mistake about it, joe biden has the momentum tonight, but that bernie sanders would lead leave super tuesday with a insurmountable lead, but joe biden picking on the endor

now, a sanders-biden battle. both campaigns now have the resources to fight it out. sanders campaign launching three new television ads in the states that vote for super tuesdays. one directly at joe biden. >> when i argued we should freeze federal spending, i meant social security as well, i meant medicare and medicaid, veterans benefits, i meant every single solitary thing in the government. >> well, we've got some bad news for them. we are not going to cut social security. we're going to expand benefits. >> that is joe biden's voice. joe biden was in the senate a long time and a lot in the record bernie sanders is trying to bring up. that was in 1996, defending a republican sponsored -- 1995, defending a republican sponsored balanced budget amendment. >> we will hear a lot more of that as we see exit polls showing not only joe biden doing well but who he's doing well with, older voters. reminding voters the things that joe biden said about their benefits, their government benefits is just going to continue, i

biden. i actually voted for sanders. was reallyt it outrageous that the american people are still stuck in the past and continuing to vote for biden even though we can see he is just unfit to fight against trump in this next election. i have seen him speak many a time and i saw bernie sanders speak as well. bernie sanders has passion and has fought for the same causes and kept straight and what he believes in for the past -- as long as he has been in politics. sanders and -- the d&c and joe biden are really making a mess of things right now. we cannot stay in the past if we want to move towards the future. i know trump is saying things about making -- keeping michigan an automobile state, but we are no longer in the 1960's. as a student, i can see that we need to keep moving on. we need to create more jobs. and joe biden cannot and will not be able to beat trump in these next elections. we need a president who thinks bigger, who thinks about the -- who has ahinks better mindset than joe biden does, and i think bernie sand

biden: yeah. sen. sandersyou're right here with me. mr. biden: yeah. sen. sanders: have you been on the floor of the senate? you were in the senate for a few years. mr. biden: yeah. sen. sanders: time and time again talking about the necessity, with pride, about cutting social security, cutting medicare, cutting veterans programs. mr. biden: no. sen. sanders: you never said that? mr. biden: no. sen. sanders: all right. america, go to the website right now. go to the youtube right now. time after time, you were not a fan of bowles-simpson. sen. sanders: i was not a fan -- sen. sanders: -- mr. biden: i was not a fan -- sen. sanders: you were not a fan of the balanced budget amendment, which called for cuts in social security? come on joe, you were. mr. biden: look, here's the deal. sen. sanders: you are an honest guy. why don't you just tell the truth here? we all make mistakes. mr. biden: i am telling the truth. you said that i, in fact -- why am i rated 96% by the social security organizations? why am i viewed

now it looks like we're narrowing down to a biden-sanders race with biden in the lead. >> i recall you called yourself an undecided voter. i assume you voted yesterday. forgive me for asking. who did you vote for? >> a gentleman never tells. i did vote yesterday and i'm not going to tell you. >> i figured as much. >> whether biden or sanders ends up as the nominee, i think all of us need to remember and keep our eyes on the prize in november. if sanders is the nominee, i'm behind him, if biden is the nominee is behind him and i don't want anyone to get it twisted that i can't vote for either of these folks against the most dangerous president of our lifetime. >> given the endorsements we've seen over just the last 48, 72 hours, amy klobuchar, mayor pete buttigieg, just a few moments ago michael bloomberg as well, there was some talk yesterday that at that biden rally in california in oakland that someone named kamala harris might be there that turned out not to be the case. is it reasonable to expect that at some point here in the near future the senator from california will also throw

that could hurtjoe biden. sanders well behind. that could hurt joe biden. if sanders well behind. sol thinkjoe biden and his supporters have a real interest in what michael bloomberg does from here and if he sticks around and actively contests these races even though he does not have quite the same amount of support he did a few days ago. he was asked this question ago. he was asked this question a few days ago about whether he was hurting joe biden. he said he was taken from bernie sanders as well. i do not think there is any evidence of that at all. if you look at the type of people michael bloomberg appeals to, they seem different to those bernie sanders appeals. tomorrow, he will look at what the goals of his campaign have been and he says he wants to beat donald trump and keep bernie sanders from getting the nomination. a numbers game you can getting the nomination. a numbers game you can look at the numbers and see that his stay in the race would not reach either of those two goals. but his money staying in the race could help. we have been talking all night without correspon

the choice is between biden and sanders. what about bloomberg who got into the race because he felt biden couldn't do go the distance. today he made a very strong case against bernie sanders for jewish votes talking about not only israel and the embassy and other things but just going against sanders' whole record. >> yeah. bloomberg had a strategy. it was a gamble. the gamble is biden wouldn't survive the first four states. he survived. he cut it close, but he came back strong in south carolina. i think sanders and biden will be one two and way ahead of everyone else tomorrow, and voters already sense that. they want their vote to count. i think if you're on the left, you're probably moving from warren to sanders or not that all warren voters want sanders as a second choice, but some would. and on the moderate side people are moving to biden. i think after tomorrow it's a two-person race. my advice to moderates, my preference in the primary and republicans and independents who can vote in the primary, which they can in virgi

inviting sanders folks. since biden'd like to hire some of those sanders staff. i'd have listening sessions. can't just say, hey, general election has started. my point is if you don't treat it with great care, again with the maniacal intensity, you're not going to get to where you have to go. biden is showing great strength in the suburbs, great strength in the african-american. to beat donald trump we need it all, including not just young vote, but the passionate volunteer support from young people, it's got to be there. it's going to take work. i don't think if we're sitting here on the stage november 3rd or november 4th and donald trump strides into the mar-a-lago ballroom having won re-election, my guess is the number one reason won't be because we unified but it's going to be top five reason and we've got to take it seriously. i know that's a scary thought but we should keep that in mind too. that's what we're heading toward if we don't unify and work hard. >> our friend, the historian and author jon meacham, is w

i know you spoke with joe biden and bernie sanders yesterday. >> not today. not today. need some space around this and i want to take a little time to think a little more. >> after declining to endorse biden or sanders at this time, warren was asked if she had any advice for women who supported her but are now forced with a choice between two men. >> i wonder what your message is to the women and girls who feel like we're left with two white men to decide between. >> one of the hardest parts of this is all those promises and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years. that's going to be hard. >> both biden and sanders spoke with warren by phone yesterday before her decision to drop out. in the fight to win over her supporters, it is already under way. in a tweet biden praised warren called her the fiercest of fighters for the middle class fames adding we needed her voice in this race and still need her voice in the senate. sanders made a direct suppoplea her supporters. >> senator warren has made it clear that we have a corrupt political system

senator sanders or vice president biden i think both of them are prepared to take on president trump and debate around the issues that impact the american people whether it's the state of our economy the health care that is being that if so many people left behind exorbitant pharmaceutical costs the impact of housing and housing affordability there's so many issues that are impacting american people today and i think either vice president biden or senator sanders are ready to take on president trump and have that debate now i think that there it's going to really come down to states like michigan and wisconsin pennsylvania. states like florida i think there is some idea that president vice president biden can actually bring more of the obama coalition together then senator sanders but you know senator sanders has for his entire time he's been running he is say that his intention is to put together a the largest grass roots movement ever seen in the history by engaging a multi-generational i believe he also says multi racial

sanders. states won by biden are in orange on the map there. sanders in green. biden picked up big victor sanders won his home state of vermont and three states in the west. >> joe biden is waking up with some new momentum this morning after winning most of the states day primaries. >> and doug luzader joins us now from washington d.c. for the results. >> and late deciders broke heavily for former vice president joe biden. bernie sanders won the biggest state in play yesterday. but for biden, this is an impressive come back. >> they don't call it super tuesday for nothing. >> the votes haven't all been counted but super tuesday may have even passed joe biden's greatest hopes. he picked up at least nine states including delegate-rich texas. >> people were talking about a revolution. we started a movement. we've increased turnout. the turnouts turned up for us. >> you cannot beat trump with the same old kind of politics. >> bernie sanders took his own shot at biden and he did clench the crown jewel of super tuesday, california, where he stands to win a massive shar

michigan is could be a very critical vote in terms of ideology of the party between joe biden and bernie sanders of course that is right he would be the 1st jewish president joe biden i mean a very historic campaign he the 1st president from the state of delaware it was a joke. the gusset and coming back to linda as well i mean given the respective ages regardless of who it is do they have to be very careful when it comes to the vice presidential candidate pick as well because these people one cheeseburger away from a cardiac arrest arguably. yeah i mean their presidential vice presidential picks must be either women or women of color or at least the person of color there's just no way around it and it has to be someone that's younger to your point just in case something were to happen that we have a strong vice presidential candidate back in kind of get into that presidential seat so i hope it's a woman of color in particular and i think back to the tension how someone like joe biden and even bernie sanders to expand the electorate and win that election against donald trump when it comes to wha

biden. peter: this is domination. bernie sanders's win in michigan was about hillary clinton. >> i could understand that argument. his greatest strength, these are college communities, kalamazoo, michigan, home to western michigan. biden is winning the county. he may when it out right. four years ago, look what bernie sanders did, 60% of the vote. bret: this is home to the university of michigan, he holds a big event, 10,000 kids and he loses. he could have chosen this one where michigan state is an run up the score there, maybe more in-state students, but still, look at all the other districts. >> this is ann arbor. this is domination by bernie sanders, the other thing, we talk about a lot between now and november, the best example is suburban voters in michigan, this is oakland county and look what biden is doing, 60%. hillary clinton was only at 51%. democrats have come home to their candidate. go to misery. this is stunning. if you look at the numbers for missouri just in two cycles, joe biden is winning every county in the state

sanders. the states in new england are part of the bigger story. joe bidenrforming, bernie sanders lagging behind. we will continue to watch "fox and friends first" and ask voters this morning at american diner in fairfax, vermont. talk to us if you want to sound out. jillian: people all across the country. rob: joe biden winning big in texas just one day after landing the endorsement of beta o'rourke. what issues did voters feel strongest about when making their pics on super tuesday? jillian: lee carter taking the polls to the american people and she is here live to do that. welcome to portabella's. this guy looks like he's ready for some scampi bites. wait a sec i feel like i know you? oh! have you dined with us before? no, you're -- you're that insurance guy, aren't you? the pasty one? oh, yeah. as if! like i'm gonna go into some spiel about how you can get options based on your budget with the name your price tool. hey, robbie, you tell them about the mushroom puffers? just about to, pam. wait, are we in a progressive commercial? ♪ come on down to porta

biden and sanders sweeping up. >> it's a good night. it's a good night. and it seems to be getting even better. >> joe biden on a state by state surge. will bernie bag the biggest prize of the night? >> we're going to win, because the people understand it is our campaign, our movement, which is best positioned to defeat trump. >> is it a two-man race going forward? live, from new york city. >> and across the country, a special edition of "nightline." your voice, your vote. here now, juju cha evening, and joining us. super tuesday, living up to its billing tonight, resetting the democratic race for president. former vice president joe biden making a remarkable political come back from the brink running neck and neck with vermont senator bernie sanders. biden won nine states in all with an unbeaten streak across the south, including the second biggest prize tonight, texas, along with massachusetts and minnesota. sanders won his hope stame stat vermont. and in terms of the delegate count, at this hour, biden grabbing the most delegates, sanders coming in seco

joe biden with 176 votes. bernie sanders with 187. 143 for joe biden, 152 for bernie sanders in warren, biden, 158 and sanders, 156. bernie sanders winning in all three of this areas. doesn't mean the state will go like this. but also se but also several counties waiting. polls have not closed. we'll get full results before too long. one thing the county clerk in warren city saying today is that they have had a big number of people coming in to register and vote. a lot of interest in the closing days of this campaign here in michigan and in warren of people wanting to get in, vote, and try to get their voice heard in the democratic process. wolf? >> important indeed. thank you very much. john, let's go to warren, michigan, right now. >> we don't have the votes. miguel said, we don't have the votes. warren, michigan, is here. warren, michigan, is where duke as dukakis ran in the tanks. the votes have not been officially reported just yet. let's see where we are. come out. you see sanders. flipping back and forth. we're very,

sanders. i like joe biden. . like his experience but i do not think he will push the issues as hard as bernie sanders. the last caller said, i have been listening to bernie sanders ring up these same issues for the past 25 years or so. i am pretty sure if he is elected, he will push the envelope to make sure our quality of life is improved. host: thank you for the call. brings uphink rae some important points. senator sanders has been talking about many of the same things for decades, and he has not managed to get a lot done. that is something voters are beginning to recognize and acknowledge. and why they are looking toward a joe biden, perhaps >> this week on q&a, steve inskeep talks about his book, imperfect union, which chronicles john and jesse fremont, who went to the american west in 1842 and helped usher in the california gold rush. after that, prime minister's questions from the british house of commons. the government's response to the outbreak. ♪ susan: steve inskeep, your book is entitled "imperfect un

sanders. hillary clinton narrowly winning the state. joe biden crushing bernie sanders winning every single county. destroying sanders when it came to the black vote. something we've seen over the course of the last couple of case. something we saw a couple of states in mississippi. continuing joe biden, what he's done across the south over the course of the last ten days. winning every single county in mississippi. winning 81% of the vote. most notably, keeping bernie sanders under 15%. that viability fresh hold to win delegates. the vast majority, if not all of them will go to joe biden. joe biden also winning idaho as well. as alison pointed out, there are two state outstanding. one of the states under scores the real issues that bernie sanders has going for it. if you look at the top line delegate map, joe biden up by 140 delegates. he's at 787 delegates. you say look, he nodes 1,991 delegates. 787 is a long ways from that. there's still a lot of contests to go. look at the state of washington, state where bernie sanders is narrowly ahead. 2,

don't assume that all of those voters are going to go just to biden or sanders. it is going to be a mix. it seems like biden may benefit more than anybody else, but for someone like warren or bloomberg who were at 12%, if that gets them to 15%, they will start hitting delegate thresholds. that arguably means those two candidates are still in the game even though biden and sanders are going to have significantly more delegates. host: delegate threshold, explain what that is. guest: the way the democrats allocate their delegates is proportional. on the republican side in 2016, it was different. winner take all. democrats rules are all the same, primary or caucus, it is 15% support threshold to get delegates at the statewide level and at the sub statewide level. california, you can look at that as 54 individual contests within that state. there is a significant block of delegates awarded statewide, 270 thatthen there are are awarded in each of the 53 congressional districts. each of these congressional districts are different. ones that are going to be heavily africa

and sanders in maine than there is in biden and sanders in texas. , you said you would rather be biden than sanders and biden is picking up. so as the numbers coming in, you may see biden picking up more. >> and so, here is joe biden with the big night. you can see the states there. >> trying to fit it on the screen. >> and think about states on the list that joe biden won where he did not spend one cent or have any paid staff or put one ad on the air, and yet he is the victor. >> and remember, these are the numbers that it is all about and the delegate one, and 278 for biden and sanders and warren behind and then bloomberg. >> and so going to kristen welker who heard from the candidate a moment ago and what is the latest there? >> well, joe biden struck a victorious tone when he took the podium here in los angeles and addressed his supporters. he said it is not called super tuesday for nothing. he tried to make the case that this is proof that he is the candidate to bring out a more diverse electorate, and to try to really energize the voters and ca

biden awards 65 of the seats of the state's 125 delegates so far. sandersas given 45. 50 delegates are still on the table with 9% of the vote still out. >> we're also watching mississippi not because of biden's 81%, but with sanders on the board 15.8%. if sanders does not land at 15.0 when the remaining number of votes come in he won't get a single vote. biden at 836. sanders at 686. a difference of 150 delegates. joe biden as part of his primary victories last night, his support among the white college educated women. one of elizabeth warren key voting blocs. over half of white educated women backed biden, compared to the 30% to voted for sanders. this is an over 20-point uptick for biden, and before warren dropped out of the race. biden continued to do well among key voting groups including in michigan where he received two 33rds of the african-americans. and in mississippi, moderates, conservatives and black voters. and in missouri, 80% of democratic voters there who said they wanted a candidate who could unite the country. they ended up choosing the for

biden leads sanders, 34% to 33%. when it comes to delegates, biden is now the front runner. that's a math and count of the total delegates so far. 420 to bernie's dlsh 435, we just updated it. to bernie sanders 343. warren at 37. >> so joe biden took to the stage in los angeles last night before polls closed and celebrated his vikt i ctorievic. watch this. >> it's a good night. tz a good night. it seems to be getting better. they don't call it super tuesday for nothing. >> a few days ago the press declared the campaign dead. and then came south carolina and they had something to say about it. and when us you got to super tuesday it would be over. it may be over for the other guy. i'm here to report we are very much alive. and make no mistake about it. this campaign will send donald trump packing. people are talking about a revolution. we started a movement. we increased turnout. the turnout turned out for us. >> there was some drama amist all the wins. at one point protesters rushing the stage, as you can see coming within feet of the former vice president and his wife. the b

in texas, sanders leading over biden. chris? tough guy. he is a determined guy. he has believed in what he has believed in for decades. he is 78 years old. when we talk about other people who seem to have aged, he doesn't seem to me to have aged a bit over the last four years, and i don't think there's any doubt -- i mean, he was down substantially to hillary clinton and he fought on all the way to the convention. i don't think there is any doubt that he is going to fight on all the way to the convention here, and look, at this moment, biden is leading in all of the delegates, including all of the month of february, but by the time the night is over, with texas, with california especially, bernie sanders could be the leader in this race. yes, there is no question joe biden has had a better night than bernie sanders, but bernie sanders has not a reason in the world -- i mean, there are a lot of states still to go. i think there is, what, 62% of the delegates still to be awarded. this race is far from over. >> martha: dana, when y

sanders. in mississippi biden blowing out sanders by 67 percentage points, 86% of black voters in mississippi r biden, he continues to win the black vote nationwide. in missouri the tide continued another double-digit win for biden beating sanders 60% to 34%. think about this. biden swept every county in michigan, missouri, and mississippi. he also won idaho. the winds giving him a 160 the lead over sanders. >> it is more than a comeback. it is a comeback for the sole of this nation. this campaign is taking off and i will believe we do well from this point on, take nothing for granted, want to earn every vote in every state. >> reporter: we are waiting on final results from washington state of north dakota. sanders did not speak choosing to fly home to vermont. both candidates canceled rallies in cleveland because of the coronavirus. speaking of covid-19 the highly anticipated debate on sunday will be audience free. rob: thank you, appreciate it. jillian: joe biden's when dealing a blow to bernie sanders's campaign. rob: is the democratic socialist finished or does he have a path forward? here

and who is the more capable person to deal with economic downturn a donald trump or bernie sanders or joe biden i think that's going to be the defining factor as we move towards november so clearly james the republicans will now be thinking they've got to get bernie sanders and joe biden both of them into respective sets of crosshairs if you will political process out of the 2 of them who is the weak. i don't i don't know and here's why i don't know. the term of electability which is obviously on the minds of so many voters right now they're all playing pundit they're trying to figure out you know what will voters in michigan and wisconsin in pennsylvania how will they vote in november it's not who they actually like but the idea of electability as you asked earlier is being redefined after president trunk was elected in 2016 for example african-american turnout was down significantly in detroit from obama to hillary clinton if she could just increase it a little bit i mean had some drop off she would probably be president you can go down the line the same way we have her immigrant turnout in p

joe biden opening a 30,000-type vote here. trailing bernie sanders during times as the election they vote came in, joe biden started to gain with a serious lead really driving him, propelling him toward the texas victory. another thing not to sleep on here, look at these little count throughout the course of the state. this is not major vote, this is 27 votes here, 69 votes here. what this is is county after kane county after county, joe biden was chipping away, chipping away, add in the major population centers, and you have a major victory for joe biden. you talked about california. this was the place the sanders campaign said they were going to too well in. look at that map. a lot of light blue, a lot of bernie sanders. with the caveat being we expect him to be counting four days ahead. as things stand, bernie sanders, 235,000 vote ahead. almost ten points ahead of joe biden. there were a couple of things to keep an eye on here. that's margin for business and who is above 15%. statewide, if you were above 15%, you can receive delegates. michael bl

>> it might and that i think is probably bad or worse for biden and for sanders. you see biden and bloomberg competing for the more voters than the other two are focompeting for for sanders although again, all sorts of different voters at the ways of looking at it.it's easy for people like me to say lisanders is liberal and bloomberg and biden are more centrist so therefore everyone who thinks of himself as a centrist will vote for bidenor bloomberg , that's not how it works. there are a lot of people who would be fine with having either biden or sanders totally they are a lot different . but look, bloomberg starts hitting the 15 percent threshold, he starts articulating delegates and next time we have a debate scheduled for march 15. it's probably going to be for people on the stage or less at some of these other candidates get out soda you are candidates they are, the dimore it elevates the status of everyone else and of course whatever problems bloomberg may have as a candidate i'm not saying his money doesn't matter, i think it does matter it's just some things

biden? just the other day, poll there, 26 for sanders. 24 for joe biden. right. what happened? this is a big part of what happened. fact that bloomberg checking in at 10%. looks like mikementum became joementum. that whole theory out there that bloomberg, if his supporters went somewhere else it might be to biden. that's what we start to see. take look down here in north carolina. right now, you see 35% reporting. bloomberg sitting there at 17%. that would be over threshold. here is a really interesting, realtime experience you can follow. this 35% you are seeing in morninorth carolina, that is overwhelmingly early vote. votes that were cast before south carolina. votes that were cast before the joement joementum era began. >> steve kornacki, am i allowed to ask a follow-up question on race? >> yeah. >> on south carolina and virginia, what proportion of the electorate in those two states is african-american on these two election nights? are they roughly equivalent? i'm asking because we are seeing roughly similar margins for south carolina and for virginia

54, sanders 38. biden gained 35 points, sanders gained 6. upport sort of consolidating into this, but biden now leads 54-38 in this poll. we will see how it plays out. the same poll asked who do you think has the best chance of knocking off donald trump in november. by a 2-1 margin they were saying sanders. maybe this candidate can win. they were starting to say it after sanders. not about joe biden. biden just won ten primaries. >> all of a sudden 51% say that about him. they're starting to look at biden as a weiner again. these are the states all up on tuesday. michigan, missouri, mississippi. looks like it's going to be a big win by biden. washington switching from they needed it. maybe has to get another win out of michigan. one thick that png that powered support from blue collar voters, white voters without a college degree. in missouri four years ak. in michigan he won by 15. big reason he was able to squeed it out. he won by 15. in the primary so far sanders has not been performing as well with that demographic. >> this is a compilati

biden trailing sanders by 25 points. nd-place finish gave biden renewed energy when he took to the stage in la a few hours ago and gave him a renewed confidence to take not so veiled swipes at senator sanders. >> we want a nominee who will beat donald trump but also keep nancy pelosi speaker of the house. win back the united states senate. you want a nominee who is a democrat. >> at his own appearance in vermont senator sanders returned the compliment not mentioning joe biden by name but clearly drawing a distinction. >> one of us in this race but the opposition to the war in iraq, you are looking at him. another candidate voted for the war in iraq. >> if it wasn't as good tonight as bernie sanders might have liked it was even worse for michael bloomberg. he suffered terrible results across the country and in california where he spent $50 million on tv advertising. michael bloomberg reported to be reassessing his campaign. the next 24 hours will be interesting to see what michael bloomberg does. shannon: it is 26 after th

and they will find it in bernie. >> a spokesman for biden's campaign slammed sanders for the ads sayingarack obama chose vice president biden to be his partner over eight years in the white house, by contrast, senator sanders explored a primary challenge to president obama who he compared to a moderate republican, and said was not a progressive. as recent history has proven, no quantity of ads can rewrite history, and there's no substitute for genuinely having the back of the best president of our lifetimes. sanders defended the ad yesterday. >> look, we have worked with president obama. i'm not going to say he and i are best friends. we worked closely. he was great on something that i think is enormously important, increasing by $11 billion money for the community health center program, something he was very very supportive of. and you know, i wanted to make it clear because, you know, there's a lot of dishonesty about my relationship with obama to say that i worked with him and respect him and look forward to working with him. >> let's switch gears, get your first look at the forecast

sanders. in mississippi biden blowing out sanders by 67 percentage points was a whopping 86% of black voters inssippi 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 last night, choosing instead to fly home to vermont. both candidates canceling rallies in cleveland due to the coronavirus, speaking of covid-19 the highly anticipated debate on sunday will now be audience free. heather: joe biden as many super tuesday sweep cementing his spiders the party front runner but will bernie sanders accept defea

a median snapshot of the super tuesday votes. 49% for biden, sanders 18%. omberg and warren stayed static, bloomberg lost some ground. if you look a little earlier than that, look at this, biden was a little above half the number he wound up with. sanders lost half his support in that period of time. add in klobuchar dropping out, buttigieg dropping out, both throwing their weight behind biden for the moderate vote out there and that's the result. something that i think even the biden camp could have hoped for but couldn't have counted on the past few days, kate. >> biden didn't even have the money to spend in some of these super tuesday states. how did spending shake out for him? >> spending is a complete conundrum here if you think people can buy their way into politics. look at this, this was massachusetts, elizabeth warren's home state. $12.3 million by bloomberg, $677,000 by sanders, $58,000 by warren, $11,000 by biden. sanders alone outspent him by a huge multiple, let alone bloomberg, and yet look at the results. biden came out of massachusetts with a

jill biden. >> the other simone sanders, spokesperson and body guard. black women saved a biden campaign. in south carolina and saved a the bidens. i'm going to let the campaign comment specifically about secret service protekds. it is nerve racking. watching last night was nerve racking but i have a lot of confidence in our security people and we'll let the secret service play out the appropriate way. >> ideas and we hope everybody on the trail stays safe. congrats on leeading us through that. and when when we come back, with mike bloomberg out of the race, how much he's willing to spend to keep donald trump out of the white house. and nearly a year ago donald trump put into motion a scheme so diabolical he got impeached carrying it out. what will donald trump try next? also ahead bernie sanders goes on the offense against the new frontrunner, using president obama to help him. we'll go inside the new democratic battle. inside the n democratic battle. your mission: stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and take. it. on with rinvoq. rinvoq

any talk of a sanders comeback in michigan, that was blighted by sanders' double digit lead. bidenwards 65 of the delegates so far. sanders gets 45 of those. 15 delegates still on the table with 7% of votes still out. >> we're also watching mississippi not because of biden's massive 81%. but because of sanders won 45 there. but it's actually 14.8. if sanders does not land at 15.0 which the remaining number of votes come in, he won't get a single state wide delegate from that state. here's where the delegate total stands so far, biden, 836, sanders with 686. >>> according to an nbc news exit poll, this is a 20-point yip tick for biden. meanwhile, biden continued to perform well among key voting groups including in michigan where he received over 60% of the vote of african-americans and voters over the age of 45. over in mississippi, he won 80% of voters, older voters, moderates, conservatives and black voters. and down in missouri, over 80% of democratic voters there who said they wanted a candidate who could unite the country, they ended up choosing the former vice president. >> jo

and biden change their sources. so, sandersmanager once called msnbc's coverage terrible. is this decision to go on msnbc now born out of necessity? >> i think he's seeking votes wherever he can given how strong biden is performing and he knows he needs to reach the msnbc audience. to your point doing a fox news town hall on monday before the next super tuesday contest. really interesting. what all of this shows is that earned media is beating the paid media. earned media means cnn and means news coverage of your campaigns that's news worthy. bloomberg went the paid media, 500 million tlar dollar in ad. a week ago bloomberg was all we could talk about. he was on the cover of new york magazine, everywhere. it's amazing how fast time is flying. but it speaks to how paid media is not as effective as earned media. >> sanders has been on the press. he's done town halls. biden on the other end of the spectrum. >> he's more careful. >> he's very careful. today he was at a rally and spoke for seven minutes. i think of him as the george

our disputes with joe biden are purely policy, they're not personal. bernie sanders thinks joe biden is a great guy. the problem is he's wrong on policy and that policy leads to an electability problem, especially in those states. >> do you assume, first of all, this is now a two-person race? >> look, bernie sanders has said the person with the most delegates who got the most votes in the primary should be the nominee of the party. there are two candidates left in a position to do that, joe biden and bernie sanders who can do that and that is our position. >> senator sanders admitted today that young people haven't turned out in the numbers he had hoped for. why would that change between now and next tuesday and the following tuesday where there are several key contests coming up? >> the democratic party needs young people to turnout but we also need latinos to turn out. our campaign has built a coalition that has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams in bringing latinos into the party. if you look at your california exit polls, you will see us, for example, i think ge

it's going to be a close race and that now it will ultimately become a battle between joe biden and bernie sanders. and they are already up on the air in some of the states on the next couple of contests, the next two tuesdays. knocking joe biden's record on social security. so they're ready for this fight and aren't going anywhere. >> why isn't sanders calling for elizabeth warren to drop out given that they appeal to the same category of voters, especially after she lost to biden in her home state yesterday? >> yeah, that's a great question, jim. i think the one thing you look at last night is you saw a moderate lane coalescing and haven't seen the progressive lane coalesce yet. i talked to the campaign about that extensively yesterday. and the campaign manager told me they're not going to pressure elizabeth warren to get out because she's run a hard campaign. she's raised a lot of money and earned a lot of votes and should have the time and space to do that. and this tracks back to 2016, jim. the -- bernie sanders was downright annoyed when people were asking him to get out of the race when he

joe biden ahead in eight states. bernie sanders in three. tonight, remember. just two weeks ago, people were talking about joe biden as if it was over. we're watching three states. two of them, huge. texas and california. you see the ones that have been won. this we know. here's what we don't know. maine, 91% in. biden with a very small lead. interesting regional play. obviously new england, the hole for both these men. delaware and vermont. but california and trexs the story of the night. okay? for joe biden to be where he is in texas right now. it would have been unthinkable days ago. 32,000 votes ahead. things can change. certainly that's the story in california. notoriously, takes a long time for the vote to come in. obviously, you have an extra hour and the time change as well. but 32%. we'll be watching it all night long. why? how does latino vote come in? what is the difference between sanders and biden? what does this state tell us about the other two people in the race? michael bloomberg has a big decision to make. elizabeth warren, a sobering night. t

sanders. and joe biden. still a lot more to, the super tuesday. >> probably the most focused and on points that we have seen joe biden, so far on this campaign. we are going to continue our super tuesday coverage now. it is a little bit past 7:30. a little less than 30 minutes now before the polls are closed here in california. >> we are starting to get a better picture of how things are shipping up all across the country caroline charlie in washington, d.c. tonight from the latest from there. good evening shirley. >> good evening, mike and shirley. as he mentioned, biden was basically written off for dead, after the first two contests, then came south carolina this weekend, he slowly made a come back. and he is weeping tonight, through the states through the south, capitalizing on his great support with african- american voters. he is having a very good night tonight. but it is too early to write off senator sanders. he is also pulling a few wins. he mentioned three, the big prizes texas, and california cou

sanders? >> if joe biden wins, that would be a huge upset, a lot of the conversation leading up to this was abouternie sanders ability to mobilize the latin text community, latin x community, he was pulling out of this world, if joe biden was able to make that backup and build that coalition in texas, that can be a big loss for the sanders campaign. >>> the fact that elizabeth warren did not win her home state of massachusetts. >> you would also always like to see them do well in their home state, bernie sanders won vermont, and she didn't hit 15% viability in a lot of states, which means she may walk out with very few delegates out of super tuesday, very detrimental to her campaign. >> a lot of analysis coming up, thank you. >>> more on the coverage for the race for president. >> a team of reporters around the bay area, including janet and deborah, live in san francisco, bernie sanders supporters watched the returns. >> we are at the headquarters on mission street, it is thinking out thinning out a little bit, there were no tvs here for watching, the crowd followed along on phones and laptops, a

now with the lead as we have it, 783 for biden, 628 for sanders. remember the magic number, 1991 to get the nomination on the way to the convention in milwaukee. vice president biden just finished speaking from philadelphia. he canceled his rally in ohio, as did senator sanders due to fears over the coronavirus. this comes as the dnc announces that sunday's debate in phoenix will take place without a live audience. >> martha: complete fox coverage for you ahead. jacqui heinrich is following the sanders campaign, but we will start with peter doocy live in cleveland where biden was supposed to be speaking this evening. good evening, peter. >> martha and brett, just a few minutes ago, joe biden explained exactly why it is that at the very last minute, as his staff was in the gym at the cuyahoga community college campus setting up a podium, some biden ohio signs, they decided not to come to cleveland at all. >> we were planning a big rally in cleveland tonight, but the governor of ohio asked the presidential campaigns to cancel their indoor public event

let's take a look at the current delegate count between biden and sanders following supertuesday, bidenad a huge day, 664 delegates, sanders 573 delegates, they need 1991 to win. how do you think sanders will do specifically in mississippi? >> i don't think bernie sanders will do well in mississippi. he barely got 20% in 2016 elections and you are seeing in mississippi the same thing you are seeing nationally where the democratic establishment is coalescing around joe biden and they will do in mississippi with their doing initially which is everything they can do to make sure bernie sanders doesn't get the democratic nomination. shannon: just because the democratic establishment in mississippi or are there other factors at play? >> a lot of things going on including the fact that biden is a known quantity among democratic voters in the south. you certainly have a more moderate electorate even on the democratic side and you do nationally who are turned off by explicit calls to socialism that you're getting from bernie sanders but i think at the end of the day this is part of a national e

early results projecting the bernie sanders as one is home state of mind. perhaps no surprise. joe bidenk is projecting tennessee as well. six days currently predict did. the main oklahoma, texas, minnesota, all toss up ‘s between sanders and biden. that is all for now. much more on the bbc website anytime. thanks for watching. hello, we know of course it was a very wet winter. now the met office says it was the uk's third lease frosty winter on record. we are going to start wednesday with a widespread frost. but there is more rain on the way as the weather fronts head in and particularly into parts of england and wales. so even when you start with some sunshine you are going to see cloud increasing and the chance of seeing some rain pushing north, but a lot of uncertainty about how final that rain will get, it may not seem too much for northern ireland and northern england and much of scotland staying dry. this is how it looks temperature wise. first thing, that widespread frost. but we're not cold towards south—west england. that is because we're starting with cloud and outbreaks of ra
