out pete buttigieg throughout his campaign. i was looking at a tweet from congressman clyburn's grandson who was an intergral supporter for pete buttigieg and just watching his tweet talking about how much he cared for pete. pete brought a lot of people into this process. i've been somebody that's been really critical about pete buttigieg. but one thing i tell people is have a great respect for his acumen. he was politically nimble and he represented history. pete buttigieg is not the future of the democratic party. he is the right now of the democratic party. and so my hat goes off to him. for all of those that are sitting in these little boxes on tv, we all know liz smith. we have a great deal of respect for liz. but liz actually took a small-town mayor to someone who was the winner of the iowa caucus. and so i think that as we watch pete in front of all of these american flags tonight, we have to admire his strength, his perseverance and what we did for the political process. i'm going to miss pete for his efforts in trying

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 now with pete buttigieg dropping out. and the party clearly moving in the direction of wanting to consolidate sooner than later and that meaning before tuesday about having an alternative to sanders that would be joe biden. so we have seen more and more pressure on bloomberg to say, do you actually have a path here? is there any reason to do this? but so far from the bloomberg campaign officials we have been speaking with tonight, they say there's no chance he drops out or reconsiders his role in this hay add of super tuesday. they think joe biden hasn't prooumpb anything other than he can win one state. they say that he doesn't have any ground game on super tuesday. doesn't have a lot of money. and bloomberg is the one who has all those things. they see a rational for bloomberg to continue to litigate this argument that he is the one that can stop sanders and go on to defeat the president. >> speaking of money, josh, it's about 8:32. so it's possible if you were watching nbc the actual network, you may have seen a three-

i've been very hard and critical of pete. i always wanted him to do better. i love pete buttigieg. my hat is off to him. he is not the future of the democratic party, he is the right now of the democratic party. >> what do you see of the impact, going into super tuesday, this amonumennouncemen will make? will it benefit joe biden? >> every time steyer vote is a joe biden vote. every klobuchar vote is a joe biden vote. i don't know if david is a billionaire vote, that's my goal. every mike bloomberg vote is a joe biden vote. get out of the race. what are you doing? this is a two person race and a couple of egos, joe biden-bernie sanders race with the egoof elizabeth warren and mike bloomberg playing some role. just as joe biden had to overcome tom steyer he has to overcome mike bloomberg. pete buttigieg got out and he is light years ahead as he has he wherewithal to know he won't be president of the united states. >> i was just handed a transcript. >> no more breaking news, ana. we can't take it. >> i know. it used to be you could sit back and relax. not anymore. why? he said, that

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

mayor pete -- >> has that been made clear to pete buttigieg, kate? is that explicit? >> well, like i said i won't get into the private discussions about what they said to each other on a private phone call back and forth but of course we'd be honored to have mayor peter's endorsement if that's something he wants to do. >> is it more impactful in the next two weeks, does it have to come sooner rather than later if it comes at all? >> well, if at any point mayor pete said that joe biden was the person he believes should be president of the united states, we'd be thrilled with that. so we will let mayor pete decide if and when he wants to do that. >> we're hearing about a phone call between your candidate and somebody else, former president obama. do they talk often or is that something that was a little bit out of the ordinary? >> no, i don't think it would come as a surprise to anybody watching right now that joe biden and barack obama are friends and they speak every now and then. they have a close friendship. so no, it's not out of the ordinary, you know, obviously t

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? >> yes. >> obviously it'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 wi

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? >>

claramente el mÁs beneficiado es el verso presidente que competÍa con pete buttigieg por los votantes moderados de centroizquierda. todos los candidatos reconocieron a bu a pete buttigieg >> y desde que el presidente asumiÓ la presidencia carolina del norte se ha convertido en uno de los estados o mayor nÚmero de deportaciones. muchos viven con miedo y han optado por unirse a campaÑas electorales para motivar a otros latinos que si pueden votar a participar. de eso nos habla pedro ultras. pedro: con cerca millÓn de indocumentados, carolina del norte es un estado muy golpeado por las deportaciones desde la llegada de donald trump a la presidencia y con las elecciones que se avecina, muchos aquÍ viven con miedo de que sigan aumentando. >> el miedo estÁ muy latente, muy presente por todo lo que esta haciendo en este momento ice, las redadas continÚan, quizÁ muchas veces no salen las noticias. el impacto es muy grande. pedro: algunos como olivia tratan de vencer el miedo y se han involucrado la campaÑa electoral motivando las que si pueden votar para que se registren y sea la voz

how do you think the absence of pete buttigieg will change the race? >> i hope it 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 e

pete buttigieg and tom steyer are out. the former vice president now framing this as a two-person race between him and bernie sanders. as he takes a shot at sanders' record, and beliefs. watch. >> i think bernie sanders' position on a number of issues, even the democratic party are going to be very controversial. they are not looking for a revolution, they are looking for results. this is no great secret to anybody. you can't run as an independent socialist and now he democratic socialist and do very well in states we have to win. i have a record of real success. bernie doesn't have much of a record at all. >> harris: i want to bring a now bret baier, chief political inc. or an anchor of "special report," joining us from virginia where he is comoderating a town hall with mike bloomberg tonight. that'll be exciting pretty good to see you, brett. let's dementia where the race is. is it only a two-person race n now? >> [laughs] mike bloomberg because it's not. he says he's got a shot and we will go down that, questions about

tom steyer and then pete buttigieg last night. the question is how much of a bounce can joe biden get out of south carolina? what will happen tomorrow? joining us now joe lockhart and jess mcintosh. joe, what do we know? >> you're right. we know less. what we're relying on now is not quantitative data anymore because you have to throw it out. we don't know what the impact of a bunch of developments. pete buttigieg getting out. tom steyer getting out has less of an impact on the race. i think from the biden perspective, he's got what he wanted. he's got a sense now this is a two-person race and it's he or sanders. but we're going to find out tomorrow whether that's true or not. we don't know. but take just buttigieg dropping out. if you look at the morning poll from just last week, the buttigieg supporter's second choices, number one was bernie sanders. you know, we just don't know. again, coming back to biden, what is happening is exactly what they said would happen. after underperforming. now, it felt like a talking point at the

all of this is coming on the heels of pete buttigieg stepping out. what 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 l

interestingly, joe biden and pete buttigieg occu py joe biden and pete buttigieg occupy roughly the same ground in the party, in the centre, and the speculation is those people therefore who may have voted for mayor pete may well turn tojoe biden in the future. yeah, he did garner a lot of support and surprise a lot of support and surprise a lot of support and surprise a lot of people, not least by the amount of money he raised during this campaign. how vital will his now for another candidate possibly be? it would be usually important if indeed he comes forward immediately and says he is backing another of the candidates. he may be leave it a while before he does that. what is clear, he is heading to think things at some point in the future, and he may well have his eye on a strategy in terms of his own political career. in terms of his own political career. what he says at this news c0 nfe re nce career. what he says at this news conference could have quite a significant bearing if he decides to put himself firmly behind one candidate or another. it could have repercussions in the futu

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

the question of pete buttigieg. it may surprise many that you have known him since he was in diapers. father,extremely of his professor buttigieg. who famously wrote "the crisis consist precisely in the fact the oldest dying and the new cannot be born. a great variety of morbid symptoms appear." bloomberger biden and morbid symptoms? >> let me first say pete buttigieg is like family to me. his father was like a blood brother. he and i would go to italy every summer and be part of the national -- i love brother joe. i love brother pete. i just have disagreements with brother pete. but pete has now adjusted to this neoliberal rule. no doubt about that. i think biden does not have what it takes to be the gangster in the white house. i don't think bloomberg has what it takes because he's a gangster, too. you can't have a neoliberal gangster againstst it your fasct gangster and think you're going to generate the kind of moral and spiritual vision and energy needed to push out trump. so that is the reason why bernie sande

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

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

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

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

pete buttigieg has exited the race for the white house. the former south bend, indiana, mayor no longer sees a path forward as the remaining candidates prepare to battle it out on super tuesday. >>> overnight north korea fired two projectiles into the sea. the country only recently resumed missile tests. some speculate the hiatus may have been caused by a coronavirus outbreak. >>> it takes place today and israel voters are heading to the polls for the three parliamentary election in less than a year. today's voting was triggered when neither prime minister benjamin netanyahu nor his chief political rival could build a governing coalition last fall. >>> utah's first medical marijuana dispensary opens today, a day after the state health department's cannabis went online. 14 locations could be up and running as early as july. those are some of our top stories on this monday, march 2nd. >>> good monday morning, everyone. we do begin this half hour with pete buttigieg's historic presidential campaign coming to an end. >> he is urging party unit

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

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. 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 dr

he praised pete buttigieg. he knows they're both in texas right now giving a boost to biden, but he was gracious and opened the door. he didn't go full-on us versus them. is this a different tack from bernie sanders? >> you know, i'll be honest with you, bernie has always been very strong against issues, but he's actually very warm towards individuals. and that's very consistent with the bernie sanders that i know. i will say, though, that you got to accentuate that energy, like you did, chris that kind of energy you haven't seen at a joe biden rally since i think he took on corn pop. this is a moment where we have to understand that it is going to be that kind of enthusiasm, young people coming out to lay claim to their democracy that is going to change our future, our trajectory in 2020. and that's behind senator sanders. >> now, look, again, you can't sleep on a movement. you could argue in 2016 a lot of analysts did that with donald trump and we see where we are today. jennifer granholm, though, you can't s

amy klobuchar, pete buttigieg and beto o'rourke. we 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
