sanders leading in texas. sanders won colorado. sanders is leading in utah, nebras nevada previously voted. in utah a healthy lead for bernie sanders, 31%, mayor bloomberg at 19%, senator warren state wide viability here. this is the only state i seen joe biden is under 15%. he didn't campaign here. he was focusing on south carolina. that was the rebound of his campaign. if you look at utah, if those numbers hold up, 64%, he falls underneath the viability. let's come back to texas, we're up to 44% now. you see the competition here. you see some bloomberg on the map, a lot of light blue sanders and darker blue biden. senator sanders, it's been about 44,000 votes for about 38 up to 44% here. so 29, if you round up, 24% there. 5-point lead. we're still counting votes here, bloomberg getting some viability here. warren 13%. so at the moment below. >> if it stays like this, they'll split up the delegates. >> there is two ways to do this. number one, it's state wide delegates, which will be proportional. we talk about congressional distr

bernie sanders dominating that demographic. will it be a big enough boost to propel him to the democratic nomination? we have like 40 years of data! that's incredibly valuable! ...i...i don't know... when did we introduce siracha? not soon enough. exactly! these are our sales... by product, by region... ...set against evolving demographics. you can actually see taste- trends. since when can we do that? since we started working with bdo.

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, very early. sanders up ahead 4%. frowned former vice president up. this is a close cont

i think with the sanders folks would tell you, and i think this is legitimate, sanders might be able to make a cleaner argument against donald trump because he does not have some of the baggage biden has. war, supported the iraq and even though trump was not in government at the time it was happening and arguably supported it at the time, he was able to fashion himself as an iraq war eraic and a critic of bush foreign policy. things.there are other biden is sort of talked about, we are going to have a big tent democratic party, liberal but not too liberal, work with republicans. i think that is appealing to a lot of people. sanders is like, we are not going to work with the republicans. they are not quick to work with us. he talked about political revolution. we are going to have a liberal president pursuing a very aggressive liberal agenda and things like medicare for all that biden does not support. host: our guest is kyle kondik until 9:00. sergio starts us off in florida. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? host: doing well. caller: yes, i was impressed yesterday wit

that's very close, sanders got a shot, but let's be clear about the challenge sanders faces. they are still counting delegates from super tuesday. a lot of states they have to go through the congressional districts, close to the 15% threshold. there are more delegates that are going to be allocated from super tuesday. these are rough estimates here, roughly what the delegates will look like after everyone is allocated from super tuesday. so that should be this. here we go, it should be about a 70 delegate advantage for joe biden. okay, now, we go to next tuesday, lets get those states up on the screen in yellow, six states. let's start on the west coast, washington, this is the state that sanders campaign in near ri is most excited about. he won by more than 40 points here in 2016, but washington was a caucus state in 2016. it switched to a primary in 2020. we've seen sanders doing far worse in primaries than caucuses. washington hit a nonbinding primary in 2016 in addition to those caucuses. sanders didn't even win the primary. he only won the caucuses. the delegates then ca

bernie sanders at 269. elizabeth warren who is still in this race trailing pete buttigieg who dropped out over the weekend. where do we stand. we have 77 year old joe biden battling 78 year old bernie sanders for the right to challenge 73 year old donald trump. you could call it the supte jaw suptegenarians. we have just learned he filed a request with the courts to give voters more time had that. for an update let's go to nancy courkoaferred es. >es -- cordes. >> there was an emergency junction to keep the polls open for two more hours. they've heard complaints of hours long lines and voting problems. they want a judge to grant two more hours to anyone who wants to vote. we don't know what the judge is going to do. we do know that an l.a. county executive has told cbs news that anyone who was in line by 8:00 p.m. pacific time will be allowed to vote. what we don't know now nora is how this will affect our ability to project the race in california. obviously l.a. county one of the most populous counties so

it's a good sanders -- good night for sanders in colorado. he won there in 2016. bloomberg and biden doing well in colorado. in texas, sanders is doing well but the delegates are going to split, means sanders, if tonight's about numbers of ointgates and arguments of point in the family feud, it's messy for sanders because colorado is a split result. >> and what is the basis of the bloomberg candidacy going forward? he got in because biden collapsed and now biden is having a good night, and where does bloomberg go from here? the problem bloomberg has is he doesn't fit into either party. he did a fox news town hall the other night. at times he sounded like a republican, at times like a democrat. in order to win, you have to be genuine and authentic, warts and all. trump, sanders, biden, these are genuine and authentic people, and they do well, and his authenticity is in question, and it's hard to win when people question your authenticity as a candidate. >> yeah, but all that bloomberg said that now he says he's in it .o win it. remembert that when he first went int

he actually helps bernie sanders, soa actually helps bernie sanders, so a lot of thinking for mike bloomberg to do although he does have something which usually forces failed candidate out of the race, and that is money. he willjust dig deeper in his pockets if he wants to do that. thank you very much for the moment, nick. do that. thank you very much forthe moment, nick. so do that. thank you very much for the moment, nick. so far it has been a blowout forjoe biden, and i have to say i can feel a bit of that because we are getting blown out of our studio. with had lightning, torrential rain and a lot of wind as you can hear. so for the moment, until it passes through, we are going to hand him back to make in a studio in london. thank you, welcome back to our nice warm video in london! —— nice warm studio. the bbc‘s sophie long is at a joe biden event in los angeles california. good evening from california, we are at recreation centre in los angeles, we are expecting former vice presidentjoe biden to arrive at some point stopping the atmosphere is building with the volume of the music,

these were all big sanders wins. the wild card this time is they have switched from caucus to primaries. north dakota's is a bit of a hybrid but these aren't pure caucus states anymore. that's likely to hurt sanders, but look, the scenario he wants tomorrow is to get the win this washington. to get the win in mmy to get wins in north dakota and idaho. be competitive in missouri and of course he'll take a hit there in mississippi. that were to happen, sanders could say hey, i'm winning states. big states here. democrats want this to go on. they're not sold on biden yet. sanders could live to fight another day. what that would look like in the delegate race, take a look at this. roughly it would look something like this. that big loss in mississippi would hurt sanders. he would still be down 80 something delegates, but he'd be able to say democrats want to take a closer look on biden. the alternative though tomorrow is what happens, recent this, what happens if michigan goes to biden. what happens if washington goes to

we're expecting bernie sanders to win california. bowling has indicated he said when it comfortably although even california is getting closer and even though many votes have been cast , i think the majority of the vote is still out there and in california , as long as your balance is postmarked today it will be counted so california vote count will take weeks, were not going to know for a long time to actually get specifically what delegates but that's the biggest delicate prize if you can win any single state, california is the oneyou choose . sanders looked certain when it is going to get delegates out of that, maybe not as big an advantage as we would have fought a week ago red states like massachusetts, elizabeth warren trying to defend her home state . there might be some late movement the war and because of buttigieg and klobuchar dropping out, some of those voters amongst those three candidate. minnesota, any klobuchar that sanders is now favored to win but it biden were to search in that state it might tell us positive thing

bernie sanders has had a good night according to bernie sanders. the count in california might even the count in california might eve n ta ke the count in california might even take until next week but certainly bernie sanders is ahead and that is a very good news for him but also, as we have been saying all night, joe biden, a very good night for him. he has one eight of the 13 states, some big ones, north carolina, virginia, tennessee and they are still counting in texas. ron christie and mary anne marsh are here. when you look at the social and ethnic group is joe when you look at the social and ethnic group isjoe biden has managed to pull together, particularly of working—class american, what do you see in what he is gathering behind his campaign? it does look again like the 0bama bowling. an it also looks a lot like the 2018 election when democrats took the house back which was filled with women, suburban women and voters of colour and more moderate voters and candidates. when you put those two pieces together, you see thejoe biden campaign

sanders sanders did really well with folks who identify as liberal and he did well with young voters and latinos. 's base has been here ever sinc the 2016 election when he beat hillary clinton and the presidential caucus prettiest run thousands to his rallies here and went into today meetin in the polls. now joe biden in second it's really a surprise because he was pulling up fourth-place heading into today. he did not hold one round this year and spent no money on television. bloomberg, however, spent the most open an office never congressional district and is looking at a third-place finish. >> matter how many delegates we win tonight, we have done something no one else thought was possible. in just three months we've gone from one person of the polls to being a contender for the democratic nomination. >> bernie sanders also did well in utah. you get a majority of that 29 delegates and evan delegates will officially be delegated or distributed tomorrow on a portion faces. that is done by the state democratic party. >> they just much for joining us . we appreciate it. great to have

senator sanders has tried really hard. you see him on college campuses, and that is to be applauded. you want everybody to vote. if you're eligible to vote, no matter your age or ethnicity, whatever. it just has not happened and it's stunning in the sense that it's down. to the point of the relationship being different, we have seen joe biden and bernie sanders yucking it up during the breaks of the debate, talking to each other. and senator sanders has been quite clear on the campaign trail about his intentions. >> joe biden is a friend of mine. joe and i have known each other for many years. what joe has said, he will support me if i win the nomination. i have said i will support him. because we want to beat trump. that goes without saying. biden is a friend of mine. joe biden is a decent guy. what joe has said is if i win the nomination, he'll be there for me. what i have said, if he wins the nomination, i'll be there for him. joe biden is a decent guy, and i know that if i win the nomination, he'll be there for me. he

sanders at 647. bernie sanders chose not to speak last night. this morning, the viability of his campaign is in question, john. >> also breaking news on the coronavirus pandemic this morning. there are at least 1,000 cases confirmed in the united states. crossed the 1,000 threshold overnight. 31 deaths. the biggest clusters in washington state, new york and massachusetts. moments ago, the seattle times reported that the governor of washington will ban gatherings of more than 250 people. overnight a state of emergency was declared in massachusetts. at least 70 cases there are connected to one single biotech conference. one meeting, 70 cases. the new york city of new rochelle outside of new york city, the governor called in the national guard. there's a one-mile containment area there closing schools and all buildings. google this morning is telling more than 100,000 employees to work from home. the federal government is studying how to have a couple million federal employees do the same. dr. anthony fauci says it bluntly change. mattingly is live

sanders with 2 -- sanders no longer has a delegate lead. so, look at the numbers. could be astonishing. bloomberg spending 24 times what biden spend every 23rd vote. and now that is the best return on investment of any candidate in the whole race, self funded or not. and this is interesting. he has now spent triple what biden did and came out, as of right now with fewer delegates. these numbers go in all sorts of directions. if you were in the joe biden camp, these numbers that are new tonight, provided additional argument for his path ahead, that we can do more with less, pushing out bernie sanders and the delegate lead while sanders outspends joe biden three to 1. i want to get into this with "the new york times" columnist, michelle bloomberg and clinton, who's actually done writing about mike bloomberg's fund raising and spending. that's a lot to digest. i slowed it down because i wanted to make sure everyone understands. mine is there's a limit to what people's spending can do, especially if they're unpopular with the voting group they're appealing to and that

sanders could be a risk. when you size up, though, biden versus trump, trump sees an opportunity on ukraine, on burisma, other folks said it's biden's performance on the campaign trail. what are the vulnerabilities you see from biden versus trump? >> throughout the impeachment, sometimes depending on what poll you looked at, always a majority in favor of impeaching the president and removing the president, it was popular. but the president's approval numbers went up a little bit, maybe that's statistical noise but maybe what it also is, there may be some shy trump supporters out there, people who may be sympathetic to the president, but live in neighborhoods where they're not. so they may say yeah, i support him, where they might have said mumb mumble, mumble at a different time. that's pre-coronavirus right now we have a major world event going on, the presidential's handling of it is unsteady. it may turn out to have terrible world consequences for americans. and i think his approval numbers will be what th

calderon: senator sanders? sen. sanders: of course not. look, and one of the things that goes on when you have that process, is that not only the psychological terror, and i've talked to these kids, kids are scared to death in america when they come home from school that their mom or dad may not be there, they may be deported. what we need to do is to end, and i will end this on day one, the ice raids that have been so harmful to so many people. and we need to do, again, what the american people want us to do. i'm the son of an immigrant. this is a country significantly built by immigrant labor, built by slave labor and what we have got to do is appreciate each other and end this demonization and the divisiveness this coming from the trump administration. mr. tapper: senator sanders -- mr. biden: can i add one thing to that, please? mr. tapper: go ahead. mr. biden: look, we are a nation of immigrants, our future rests upon the latino community being fully integrated. 24 out of every 100 children in school today from kindergarten through hi

sanders. not a huge amount of vote. maybe you can make that up. >> now we're 88. somewhere between there. we'll be watching it. let's put a quick break in. we'll have all night. the dlinl of the night is this is something you would never see happening until it happened. the democrats have an entirely new race on their hands. we'll pick up the coverage. we're looking at california. sanders is up. what can biden do there? texas. i'm telling you the story. a big surprise for texas. and maine isn't done yet. an important region to monitor. especially because it is so different handle the four years ago. ♪ e*trade core portfolios is an easy, automated way to get invested. we'll save you time by building, monitoring and managing a portfolio for you and provide all hands-on deck support when you need it- helping you become top dog. ♪ let's get down to business. the business of atlanta on monday... ... cincinnati on tuesday. ...philly on wednesday. ...and thursday back to cincinnati . modernized c

sanders: yes. ilia: many believe those spending bills were a crucial part of stabilizing the economy back then. would you support bailouts for industries that are being crushed by the coronavirus outbreak now? sen. sanders: i did. you're quite right, i voted against the bailout because i believed that the illegal behavior being done by the people on wall street should not be rewarded by a bailout. and today, by the way, those banks are more prosperous and own more assets, by and large, than they did back then. they're bigger now than they were then. i thought at the time that in the midst of massive income and wealth inequality, the people on top, there was surtax on the very wealthy, should bail out. and it's not just the top bailout. we gave trillions of dollars in zero interest loans to large banks. but to answer your question where we are right now, we need to stabilize the economy, but we can't repeat what we did in 2008. joe voted for that. i voted against it. because we have got to do more t

bret: what is ahead for bernie sanders? what argument do you make there is a turnaround for bernie sanders? >> tweakers the seventeenth. as he win in arizona? florida? illinois? could you make an argument for that? does he win in ohio? bret: two weeks from now is george and he is dead in the water and one more, new york connecticut, delaware, maybe -- >> for the sake of argument the last tuesday in april. a lot of states on the board, new york is one of them. and upset in the state of new york, aoc out there is a lot of people campaigning for him. a lot of pressure. bret: a little coronavirus update. martha: back to the outbreak which is a very big story, growing impact on the united states, 700 confirmed cases across the country and 27 deaths. experts warned more cases are expected as testing ramps up. doctor alvarez, good to see you. what do you anticipate in terms of how many more cases we are going to see? >> numbers of increased in the last 48 hours. we will see more cases. we will do more testing. kits for the virus a

if bernie sanders is not the democratic nominee. after the convention in july will you and the other people who work for him support the democratic nominee well i will because i believe in the matter who vote lou i think we have to get trump out i think this man is insane in the white house i mean we have we have an epidemic right now in the way he's handling it is poorly and it justifies medicare for all is well you know i mean you want to senator sanders crime platform exactly i mean in an epidemic situation a poor man goes to a hospital and they ask him for insurance if he has 19 and they refuse him he can spread it you know i mean there's common sense of this paul thank you very much appreciate your joining us ok thank you so that's one voice in the crowd here at the bernie sanders wrap up party a lot of people very happy still returns trickling in we still don't know about texas so the night's not over yet and do the night is not over and speaking from his home state of vermont bernie sanders the democratic hopeful addressed hi

not over for senator sanders. sanders can still mathematically do it. something needs to change, but he is not out of the race. but there will be pressure on senator sanders from the democratic party, there will be some level of pressure applied to him to see if you can exit the race. tv and said, i am not a masochist and i will and.tay in this the better he has long said he will support the nominee -- stay in this until the bitter end. he has said that he will support the nominee. but i cannot see senator sanders exiting this race at the earliest before sunday to read i am not predicting that he will exit before sunday, but the cnn debate on sunday will really loom large. sanders needs to change something in his campaign. he needs to turn something around, energize his supporters and start to attract people outside his usual coalition. and the only way that can change is at the debate stage. host: that his comments regarding fidel castro damage him in florida? guest: i don't know, which is not a very fun answer. florida was a state of that was never pr

bernie sanders, senator sanders, you know, really was sort of stuck to his talking points about health care for all, which is fine, it's relevant to this, but he couldn't really nail down the big pieces that the -- that america needs to do now. the other thing he said which was facutally incorrect is the drug companies are profiting off of this coronavirus infection. we're trying to -- we've developed a vaccine for a coronavirus, we can't get the big pharma players interested at all because there's no money to be made for coronavirus. so on that one he was a bit tone deaf. he wasn't bad. he talked about the importance of access to health care. but in terms of the real big-picture stuff that needs to be done, the vice president was definitely ahead. >> dr. gupta, what was your reaction to what you heard from the presidential candidates tonight? >> well, i'll echo what dr. hotez, which is pandemic preparedness is not necessarily about strong primary health care system alone, it's about building capabilities that you can rapidly scale and deploy. it's about a health care workforce that's

now we are down to biden and sanders. i lean toward bernie sanders because of his policy. watchingllowed bernie your show for years. the reason i think he is staying in the race is he wants his priorities put into biden. i do not want just joe biden the way he is. i am tired of the dnc. i am tired of the way things are. i think most people across this country are tired of being told what to do. that is what is happening. host: i also meant to mention nevada. sanders will have an important voice through the remainder of the primary as well as in the general election. he will elevate those issues important to him. the thing that is a blessing and challenge about democratic politics is we have a diverse coalition ideologically. that push and pull on issues makes a stronger. host: we will go to newark, california. caller: good morning. i am leaning toward bernie 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 pas

host: are you a biden supporter or a sander supporter? caller: -- sanders supporter. caller: a biden supporter. host: why him over bernie sanders? well, because he has been vice president and he knows what he is doing. betterd run the state than what we have in the white house now. to be a good guide to be in the white house since he already has some of the background of knowing what is going on as vice president. host: diane in wilmington, delaware. profile of athe who directs the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. one of the biggest battles of 35 years, the race to contain coronavirus when the nation's polarized and misinformation can spread in one tweet from the president yourself. you do not want to go to war with the president. expert but the top you have to make sure you walk the fine line of continuing to tell the truth. that doctor was part of a forum as a part of the coronavirus task force briefing at the white house. he spoke about why he thinks the risk to americans as it currently exists is low. >> if you talk about the entire country,

bernie sanders at 27. then elizabeth warren, a huge reality check has been on fumes, didn't even when one on supertuesday. bernie sanders was able to win his home state which wasn't a surprise to anybody. in vermont he won of the one% of the vote, joe biden behind him and others falling behind that. in 2016 he won with 85% of the vote with a showing against hillary clinton. joe biden and it was before and chipping away at his support even in his own backyard. and alliance share the delegates in vermont. about 3000 people, 25 miles from hill rallying for bernie. >> thank the great state of vermont and all the people in the state, not only for the victory you gave our movement but for years and years of love and support you have given me, let's go on to the white house. >> reporter: you got to wonder if he was really meeting and feeling it last night because it was a disappointing night for bernie sanders. the states in new england are part of the bigger story. joe biden over performing, bernie sanders laggi

some clinton states and some sanders states. now, a sanders-biden battle. both campaigns know this is coming and 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

the problem in missouri for sanders is simple. blue collar white voters, a big part of sanders' constituency in 2016 against hillary clinton. he's not been getting that support in the states we've seen so far against biden. mississippi looks like a disaster for sanders just given his lack of support among black voters. he lost by 47 points next door in alabama. no reason to think mississippi is going to go different. you get to these three states, washington, idaho and north dakota, these were great states for bernie sanders in 2016. he netted a lot of delegates, especially washington. but all three of these states have one thing in common. they have moved away from caucuses since 2016. we're seeing some indication certainly minnesota last week told us this, a big difference from sanders when it switches away from caucus into a primary. you get a different kind of electorate, a bigger electorate, and it hasn't worked out for bernie sanders so far. >> just speaking about the straight numbers, if he doesn't have -- if bernie sanders

can bernie sanders stop joe biden? joining me now to try and answer this from here in l.a., mike memoli, and in vermont with the sanders campaign, shaquille brewster. shaq, we're expecting to get an update from the campaign about what's going on. beyond that i was talking to a senior adviser as these returns were coming in and state after state was falling in line behind joe biden. the senior adviser told me they are not worried at all, they will win california, and they will win texas. bernie sanders did not win texas. he's leading the polls here in california but are not going know the results in total until at least next week. what is happening behind the scenes there, shaq? >> reporter: that's a great point you make. that's something i also heard from a source as results were coming in. they were surprised by the margins you were seeing in the key states. think about north carolina, a state where senator sanders and his campaign had ads up before ads in south carolina. there was surprise within the campaign. what w

berernie sanders. yoyou are saying a profounanand historic russisian for elizazabh warren, whwhich side are youou ? neutral can't really be at a time when profound historic moments are upon us. of course, we should praise elizabeth warren. i heard her speak many times on the campaign trail, including last monday night in los angeles. she articulated very profound visages about corporate power and the need to challenge institutionalized corruption. right now i cannot think of a more incarnated candidate to personify patriarchy than joe biden. and women across this country are suffering becausese of the economic policies that he has pursued in the senate and t then under the obama administration, to bring in wall street in terms of policymaking and failing to challenge the poverty and your poverty that so many families are suffering under. ifif you look at foreign, we should know, if we don't know, that women and children bear the brunt of endless war that joe biden has supported, for r now just about 20

that is the message of senator sanders. it is not just a return to the status quo that lets 40 million americans struggling in poverty. it is about transforming our economy so we do not just see the economy as how well wall street is doing but we see it as how many people can keep food on their table, how many people can keep a roof over their heads. we have to transform the way we think about energy so we do not have to make impossible choices between folks getting black lung disease in their 30's and having energy for our families. senator sanders is the only candidate left in the race that is offering this vision of transformation. folks can call it a revolution, but if it is that it is a revolution of care, of democracy. it is a revolution taking power away from corporate interests that extract and exploit our communities and put it back into the hands of everyday people who make this country so strong. jennifer epps-addison is joining us from los angeles. glenn is next in louisiana. caller: good morning. how are you? t

community which has been coming out for bernie sanders on in significant ways and he has one of the largest muslim american communities in the country and they're and can and bernie sanders invested a lot of money there were multiple offices across the state at times of staff and hundreds and hundreds of volunteers across the state scott lucas in birmingham elizabeth warren doing badly coming in home state massachusetts and many mike bloomberg spending half a $1000000000.00 to actually come low place. mr bloomberg enjoyed finding that money in the back of a sofa because it's now lost that 500000000 he was always a sideshow for me in this campaign far more serious is what elizabeth warren does now i don't think she has a path to the nomination of course but does she drop out in the next week before the michigan primary and 5 others next tuesday or does she stay in for one more debate alongside biden and sanders on the campaign stage possibly than helping sanders as he reestablishes himself versus biden as the remaining moderate candidate james do you think that's what she'll do she'l

big bernie sanders supporters. the second group, and it's not is present in some of these states, and there's elements of them there, you can see latino voters go for bernie sanders, so the question is, how do you translate those voters into potentially biden voters? and that brings me to the second point. is this the moment when bernie sanders should follow in the footsteps of buttigieg, of amy klobuchar and elizabeth warren and say, hey, you know what, in the name of party unity and defeating donald trump, i pledge my allegiance to joe biden? i just don't see it. i think in fact what bernie sanders has proven is that over the course of two rones, he wants to be a player. some democrats say he is yet to prove that he's a real democrat, but let's just put that aside. he wants a roll of the convention and he may want a role in terms of how the biden campaign progresses. so he has a lot of things that are on his agenda and he feels that he has -- and i think i'd agree with them -- he has every right to push it. i don

sanders. tennessee, delayed because of the tornado from last night, went to biden. alabama and the deep south went to joe biden, where the wind comes sweeping 'cross the plain went to joe biden. american samoa went as it does to the former mayor of new york, mike bloomberg. texas we have at too close to call, which is a different characterization. massachusetts, commonwealth of massachusetts is still too early to call. minnesota still too early to call, art art ditto, too early to call. and the great state of maine, too early to call. here's the delegates tonight. 157-92. the point steve kornacki correctly has been making all night. some version of that, if you had told us three weeks ago, two weeks ago, one week ago, we wouldn't have believed you. we would have called authorities. and there's the delegates won so far this season. steve kornacki, i see you're looking at the great state of minnesota. >> minnesota is the story we've been telling all night. you just did. if you had polled minneso

has a very enthusiastic following i think they're committed sanders people they only believe in mr sanders they're completely committed to a revolution that the words that senator sanders is used and that course joe biden is to us to many of us the past but he is as you mentioned prone to gaffes the mistakes. there i agree with with jennifer has a long way to go in this race 3 or 4 days ago this was mr sanders to lose and that was the momentum so tonight is the big joe biden night there's no question but this could all change for a number of reasons between now and and then and the convention for a number of reasons that could can change but but that the end jack your question very directly i think they both are equally vincent from the standpoint of the president beatable i think the president running on his record and i don't think it matters. the alternatives i think mr sanders position purse christians are more commercial extreme there's no question about that and i think that in that regard a publisher would be easier to draw that distinction but joe biden even for the democrats is ju

about bernie sanders making one of his closing arguments at of super tuesday 2. here's what he had to say. trump,ou want to defeat which all democrats do, a majority of independents, some republicans. we are that campaign. alsod of all, what we understand is that while it is absolutely imperative that we be trump, we've got to do more than that. transform this country so that we have an economy that works for you and you and you, not just wealthy campaign contributors. a government that says that what we need is a multiracial, multigenerational working-class movement of people coming together for justice. >> bernie sanders in missouri yesterday. has anything changed much in bernie sanders pitch? >> he's going much more heavily after biden. he recognizes the situation that his path the nomination is growing short. he's got to take away support from biden and earn it himself. themselves seem to be rendering a verdict on that very question that sanders just brought up. democratic voters aren't interested in more than just beating president trump are the number one t

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 virg

many will probably go for sanders. we'll see. but he's in the mix. >> he's kind of been like an aircraft carrier. seeing that, perhaps down the line we're seeing a campaign that is newly energized, that has money, we'll see if it pays off. as julie said, sanders functions very well as an underdog and people really want to get in there. >> he has a bigger ground game. that's another thing biden is battle ng theing in these state in texas. sanders has eight offices, 80 midterm smaller offices. biden can't compete with that in the final days. beto o'rourke was using facebook lightning at what-a-burger. i haven't seen him do that before. >>> before we go to break, a flashback to a time when joe biden endorsers weren't exactly singing his praises. >> is joe biden a return to the past? >> he is, and that cannot be who we are going forward. we have to be bigger, we have to be bolder. >> i am the one to close the loophole that says domestic abusers can't go out and get an ak-47. that bill along with -- >> i wrote that bill. >> you didn't

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

cornelll west, who has endorsed bernie sanders. well, you have- this letter from the black indemics, the massive win nevada, real sweep, and in new hampshire. but his loss in south carolina, which seemed to be a turning point for so many -- south carolina, the first mainly african-american democratic primary voting state with 60% of the democratic party african-american t there. cornel west, if you can talk about the significance of this and what the plans are for today and ongoing? >> well, i think it was highly appropriate to hear sister karen carpenter sing so beautifully about the masquerade. george benson sang about it. the neoliberal politicians in the democratic party constitute a masquerade. they hide and conceal the connection to wall street, their connection to militarism to the military-industrial complex, their connection to wealth inequality and poverty and act as if they are concerned about working people and for people. every four years we discover the leg which goes one way, the policies go somewhere else. they're t

let's say sanders wins but it's a close race. sanders will net 5, 10 delegates. by what we're seeing demographically is sanders is due to take huge hits in the south. in mississippi, georgia, louisiana and in florida. his polling has been terrible in florida. if he is in an even race delegate wise right now or down a little bit look at the hits that he is about to absorb, where can he make up for them on this map, and that coalition we're describing, very hard to see that at this point. >> biden has huge margins of older voters, that will come into play in florida. turnout, in the state of virginia double in 2016 and greater than 2008 where you had barack obama and hillary clinton on the ballot. did we see that play out across the country. >> we saw a few places this is the most dramatic. you have vote totals there, 1.3 million and change and, again, look, in 2016 it was 782,000 from there to 1.3 million. fairfax county this is the d.c. suburbs everyone was talking about here, this is the biggest count joe in the state, this was a big win for biden. turnout was u

right now we see sanders leading nowhere. sanders at 22% then. sanders at 33%. remember early voting. there are other candidates here, mike bloomberg spent a lot of money on tv ads before he dropped out. so that's one reason. so sanders' percentage is actually down this year from four years ago, and that affects the delegate math. that affects when you go through those congressional districts how many delegates do you get, number one. so joe biden -- it was a two-way race, hillary clinton's number was higher, but the fact that so many other votes were cast for other candidates before there was a two-way race -- >> it looks like numbers are coming in from the panhandle right now. >> you move over here, pensacola, almost everywhere we look, high 50s or 60s. these tend to be -- they're democratic voters turning out. of course there are liberals here. if you just pull this out a little bit, this part of florida across the top tends to be considered more southern if you will in character and in voting, in culture and in voting. so you start moving across this part of
