Between a player, a city, and a tie quick shout out to, to kylie kelce, who refuse to wear any other teams jersey, go birds thanks to all of you for joining us. Im kasie hunt. Dont go anywhere. Cnn news central starts right now its a Super Tuesday i really its Super Tuesday. Millions of americans are going to go to the polls to cast their votes in primaries and caucuses. This will be decided some day for nikki haleys campaign as donald trump looks for sweeping winds to help him clinch the republican nomination and well do they show any more signs of trouble for President Bidens Reelection Campaign an air force employee accused of sharing Classified Information on a foreign dating site that man now under arrest and cnn takes you to the capital of haiti as violent gangs rule the city and residents live in fear. Im sarah sidner with kate bolduan. John berman is in colorado for Super Tuesday. We will see him in just a bit. Cnn news central starts right now. There are tuesday and then there are Super Tuesdays, friends, the election day energy filling the air. I know you can feel it this early in the morning right now, polls are open in seven states, next hour for more states will be joining them. And that continues throughout the day, throughout the morning as millions of voters will be casting their Super Tuesday ballots. So while few things are certain in life these days, we well know one thing that does seem almost assured is that by the end of the night, the needle will be moving closer to deciding the General Election matchup, 800 republican delegates are up for grabs today and for all of those Keeping Track at home right now, donald trump has 276, meaning tonight he could get really, really, really, really quite close to securing the nomination, which requires 1,215 delegates for President Biden. Todays less about the delegate math and more about his campaign, learning a lot, learning a lot more about his ability to get democratic voters excited for the potential of a second biden term. John berman in castle rock colorado happy Super Tuesday to all of those who celebrate john happy Super Tuesday k4 would in sara sidner, the polls are open in castle rock colorado in a manner of speaking thats because in essence, the polls are always open in colorado, the major means of voting here is by mail or by dropbox. You can see the dropbox right there. Behind me, voter ballot drop box. It says, which is a sign that it is a dropbox and we actually did just see a car drive in and a Voter Put A Ballot right in there. Nearly 1 Million People, nearly 1 Million People have already voted here in colorado. Most of them drop their ballots office the boxes just like that one. You can also put them in the mail, although if you are going to mail the menu would have had to have done it last week. There are inperson Polling Places that will be open today, but only a teeny tiny fraction of the people actually show up to vote in person here in colorado. And i actually have a Sample Ballot. Let me walk around here and show so this to you. This is the Sample Ballot from colorado, and you will see that Donald Trumps name is on it. It has been on it even with that Supreme Court case up in the area until yesterday. Of course, the court ruled that Donald Trumps name will remain on the ballot. The states do not have the right to remove Donald Trump Trump or an insurrectionist from the ballot unilaterally but his name was on the ballot anyway, because the core had stayed the earlier ruling here. This is what the ballot look like. Looks like. Thats what republicans will be able to vote on today. Thats what theyre dropping off in that backs box here behind me, 15 states plus American Samoa but that is why this tuesday is so super, lets get to virginia where the polls are open. Arlena treene is there, alayna, what are you seeing so far . Well, good morning. Yes. The polls opened here in richmond, virginia at 06 00 a. M. Its still pretty quiet here. John, weve seen some people come in. I think those eager to get to work or vote and then get to work. Im who have come by, but i do expect this will pick up throughout the day and john, i do just want to share how some of the Trump Campaign is viewing this today and specifically how theyre viewing this state. In particular, here in virginia. First of all, his campaign is very confident about Super Tuesday. They are really hoping to sweep most, if not all, of the states were going to see voting today. But the other thing that theyre also keeping an eye on is nikki haley. Of course. They know that nikki haley has pledged to stay in through Super Tuesday, but its still very unclear what she will do after today, depending on her performance, if she will drop out there bowl or their hope i should say is that she will ultimately dropped out. I know that donald trump and his team want him to be able to get on that stage tonight in maralago, where hes going to be having a watch party and be able to declare victory and also declare himself the Presumptive Republican nominee. But as you all mentioned at the top here, regardless of how many States Donald trump wins and his performance here today he will be shy of the necessary delegates to declare him the presumptive nominee. But their goal is to really keep Building Momentum here in virginia and across the country in these different Voting States and try to convince a lot of the people who want a trump alternative to get behind him. And thats not just republican voters, but also republican donor they very much recognize that they want to have the infrastructure of the Republican Party behind him and the money that can come with that to really launch him into a better position for a General Election rematch against joe biden. Now about virginia here specifically, this is a state that donald trump lost both in 2016 and in 2020, but from my conversations with trump senior advisers, they do see it as a battleground thats how theyve been describing it to me in our conversations and they do think they can make a good play here. And its not just about the primary, but also again, looking ahead to potential General Election. And one thing i know theyre gonna be doing a lot of here in the status. Of course, building up their ground game strategy, but also really targeting suburban voters. They tell me that they think the economy, one of the top issues i know that donald trump plans to run on this year is something that a lot of virginia voters care about specifically. So you can expect that messaging as they look ahead Alayna Treene in richmond. Thank you so much. Alayna. Now, as we said, this is Super Tuesday but it may not be so super for some candidates depending on how the results come in tonight, lets go to eva mckend, who is in washington. Eve has been covering the campaign of nikki haley. And we really dont know much about what happens with that Campaign Pass today, even dewey john, she hasnt said what shes going to do pass today. The big question is, can she decisively win any states tonight . I think tonight really serves as the ultimate test of her message. Shes such a disciplined campaigner and she has really stuck to this Electability Argument that she would be the best person to go up against joe biden in the fall. Shes deliver that message in ten states in the past week but she has been very vague about concrete expectations only saying that she will continue to run this this race as long as we remain competitive with her. I was with her during her new england swing and she was attracting democrats, independents, an antitrump republicans. It said that they would rather vote for joe biden then vote for trump in the fall. Lets take a listen to her Core Argument here. Here are some point maybe we should say the reason that america keeps losing is because of donald trump. We can change all of that. But in order to change it, its going to take a lot of courage courage from everybody here courage for me to run. And courage thanks for every one of you to know. Dont complain about what happens in a General Election. If you dont vote in this primary so the hard truth facing haley is that with each passing contest dominated by trump, her odds of amassing a sizable number of delegates shrink a little more than a third heard of republican delegates are up for grabs. And some of these, when these states are winnertakeall states, what i was in vermont over the weekend, maine, massachusetts, if she doesnt get above 50 that means she loses the chance to get all of the delegates in that state completely. Haleys team oh, they say that she will not address supporters tonight because the polls in some states close at a very late hour. But john, she will be watching the results from her home state of South Carolina she will be watching no doubt about that, eva mckend. Thank you very much. And we will be watching not just here in colorado, where im going to report every piece of activity that happens at that ballot box all morning long here, sara sidner, but its not just colorado, as i said, 14 other states plus colorado and American Samoa. A lot of activity today, sara, there is i know youll be watching and well get numbers as you love to give us numbers all day long. Is that another person now . John bourbon, great to see.

Super tuesday Special Coverage begins tonight at 06 00 p. M. On cnn and streaming on max this morning, newly released texts and emails revealing how key trump ally thought to keep him in office soon after the january 6 capital attack, rightwing attorney kenneth cheseboro, help cheseboro, sorry. Helped come up with the fake electors plot. This footage, which was taken by cheseboro and has not been seen publicly, shows the fake electors casting their ballots in wisconsin and in one of the newly disclosed texts, talk of coordinating the plan with the trump white house. Cnns Marshall Cohen is joining me now. Marshall, we havent seen this before why is that . Why is it coming out now . Hey, sara, there was a lawsuit in wisconsin, the real electors from that state filed a civil case against the fake electors and this came out as part of a settlement just yesterday, hundreds of new texts, emails, photos, videos. You just saw the clip of the fake electors voting in wisconsin, but there is so much more and it is feeling that this fake electors plan was deeper than we thought were still learning new things. Sara almost four years later, three or four years later. Lets go through. I want to show you three things that we learned from this document dump. First is a text Message Exchange between cheseboro and trumps top attorney in wisconsin jim troupis. This is in December 2020 and he says, jim can you send my december 6 memo to trump lawyer justin clark. The messaging on january 6, being the real day is key. That memo is where he spelled out the fake electors plan, troupis says, i have sent it to the white house this afternoon. The real decisionmakers, we didnt necessarily know that troupis had sent that very detailed memo directly to the trump white house. Now he did not say in the messages who he sent it to, but that is notable because just a few weeks later, they carried out the plan in seven states across the country. Trump electors cast their ballots and then on january 6, trump tried to get mike pence to count those ballots. And who is in the crowd outside of the capitol . None other than ken chesebro himself. Our kfile team broke that story last year, but we are now seeing brand new selfies, photos that he took that day this is him outside of the Washington Monument and the other photo you just saw with him in the red maga hat that shows him in the front and alex jones in the back of the noted conspiracy theorist. But even after witnessing the carnage that day, sara, even with cheseboro in the crowd that day he was still pushing to overturn the election. Look at this text from two days later, january 8, 2021. He says to troupis the events of the last two days open up Legal Options in the states for winning rulings favorable to trump sara. After all that he was still scheming, still pushing the plot a mercer car when it really paints the picture with the text and looking at the video and seeing these new pictures. Thank you so much for breaking that all down for us. Okay the Jury Selection is beginning this morning and the trial of the father of the Michigan School shooter. Now the father who bought the gun, his teenage son used in what became the worst School Shooting in Michigan State history. He killed four classmates and now his father, James Crumbley, is charged with involuntary manslaughter. His mother was already convicted of the same charge, marking the first time a parent has been found guilty of homicide for a School Shooting committed by their child. Cnns jean casarez has been following all of this from the very beginning and throughout, Jennifer Crumbleys trial as well. And during that trial, folks will remember gene, that the actions of James Crumbley played a prominent part in that trial. Very much so. And thats why prosecutors are going to argue here that he should be convicted of homicide because thats what he is charged with, just like his wife that he caused the death of those four students at so in high school, even though his son independently pulled the trigger, you know, it was thanksgiving 2021. Ethan had wanted a Nine Millimeter Gun for a long time, kept asking his dad and he texted back and forth those texts will come in and his dad sort of blew him off, according to Jennifer Crumbleys testimony. Now, the parents had no oh, idea why he wanted a Nine Millimeter. They had a couple of other guns. They were locked up. They were smaller guns. He wanted a Bigger Gun On Good Friday is dads that are at lets go to the gunshot. Lets see if they have any sales. They did they got a Nine Millimeter form and it was four days later committed that Mass Shooting. But i think a big issue today, it is the beginning of the trial. They are going to select the jury but under the constitution, a defendant has a right to a fair and impartial jury. Jennifer was just convicted for weeks ago. Yeah. Its the same courthouse. The same courtroom and the defense tried to move this trial. They said, your honor, we cant get a fair jury. The emotions in this community or overtaken still by Jennifer Crumbleys trial, we need to go to another part of michigan she said no. So its going to be right there with the same community that experienced that Mass Shooting in Jury Selection begins today.

This is cnn new this morning a naval attack in the black sea, kyivs military says ukraine has destroyed a russian patrol ship near the kerch strait, which separates crimea from the coast of russia at the attack comes as ukraine is experiencing extreme pressure around the eastern city of antika and an official says, the russians are increasing their personnel and operations there. Cnns chief International Security correspondent, nick paton walsh, is in Eastern Ukraine with the very latest. What are you learning about this naval attack . We have seen some of this before from ukraine yeah, its becoming an extraordinary reframe, frankly, of the third year of this war ukraines ability to project attack power into parts of the black sea where russia would just a year ago probably felt entirely safe with its fleet there, the sergei cut off patrol well ship according to ukraines defense intelligence, who say they carried out the Operation Worth 65 million. Ukraine saying that what they call the magura v5 attack drone hit it. Now, this has happened multiple times before, often too high priority, highvalue vessels, and it has smartly cause part of russias free, which should feel very comfortable in the ports of crimea that it annex ten years ago to the day almost. Now theyve had to move back closer towards russias mainland coast. An Extraordinary Development here. But this and other issues weve heard from ukraine, but theyve claimed extraordinary successes inside russia so hitting a bridge 500 miles in this morning, a russian official in belgorod saying infrastructure appears to have been hit after a drone attack. Very much Success Stories that are unexpected for ukraine strategic ability to project power, but in quite stark contradiction to how difficult things clearly are for ukraine on the most important thing, their front lines inside the country itself. Now, we hear repeated suggestions of difficulty around the key front line near where im standing to the west of avdiivka, ukraine gave that up two weekends ago voluntarily, but they said theyd hold the Defensive Line to its west they gave up a bit of villages between that and now they seem to be under extraordinary pressure around three villages have minimal consequence themselves or leave curbelo did shear turning. Ukraine says theyre holding them some ukrainian bloggers suggest has intense pressure. The point is not these villages themselves. The point is if ukraine is unable to hold that defensive theyve lived, there could be on knockon effect because frankly, were not seeing extensive fortifications behind those areas on our trips around the front line. And there are fears i think that ukraine has been ill for a russian advance here theyre throwing everything on it, frankly, and that may be a very difficult few months ahead because it comes exactly when western aid supplies and ammunition are running out. Sara and they have been asking the United States to help them. We will see what happens here. Nick paton walsh, thank you for being there and reporting on this important story.

Lets move on the Supreme Court has put a pause on a controversial texas Immigration Law that was set to take effect just days from now. This is the latest push really by the Texas Governor and top state officials to crack down on illegal immigration, essentially what theyre basically theyre trying to do is take matters into their own hands. The law would allow state Law Enforcement to arrest and detain people that they suspect of entering the country illegally. Cnns rosa flores is tracking all of this from houston, the Supreme Court staying saying for the moment, hold on. There. So rosa, whats happening . Now you know, for now, we wait, but allow me to detour for just a second, kate, because theres similar news coming out of areas zona. And really when you look at arizona and the State Of Texas, its night and day when it comes to migration issues, when it comes to what the what a governor there is doing in a state of arizona that Legislature Passed a very similar law to the one here in the State Of Texas. But the governor there vetoed it and of course so governor is a democrat and the governor of the State Of Texas is a republican. So while that measure in arizona is not moving forward here in the State Of Texas, its still a quagmire higher when it comes to this fight between the State Of Texas and the federal government. And this is just the latest battle. And let me get you up to speed as to what is happening meaning what this because over the weekend the Fifth Circuit granted the State Of Texas a stay and ordered that this law this controversial law go into effect. If the supreme in court didnt act well, the Supreme Court acted. It froze this case for now, but if the Supreme Court doesnt move further than this law would act actually go into effect on march 13th. Now, Texas Attorney general ken paxton taking this as a victory, issuing a statement saying, quote sb4 was adopted to address the ongoing crisis at the Southern Border which hurts texans more than anyone else. Now, the, the arguments made by the State Of Texas in the lower court gives us a sense of what the justices are going to consider. And the main argument by the State Of Texas is that the State Of Texas is under a Quote Invasion by migrants. Now the lower court, the judge there rejected the argument by the State Of Texas saying that migrants crossing the border illegally is not technically we a quote, invasion. In fact, the lower court upheld precedent, which is that immigration is a federal function. Now, i want to read you a few excerpts from the lower court judge because it just this gives you an idea of his thinking. First of all, he said quote, surges and immigration. Do not constitute an invasion within the meaning of the constitution, nor is texas engaging in war by enforcing, as before he goes on to say, if allowed to proceed, sb four could open the door to each state passing its own version of Immigration Laws. As before threatens the fundamental notion that the United States must regulate immigration with one voice, governor greg abbott, of course, disagrees with all of this, and he maintains that that the State Of Texas has Constitutional Authority to do all of this. Now, i cant i cant emphasize enough the concern by the Latino Community in the State Of Texas since which constitutes about 40 of the population of the state because of the consideration that many people believe that this could lead to racial profiling and kate, that is a very serious issue taking very seriously here in the State Of Texas will just gonna have to see what happens as this goes through the course. Rosa, thank you so much. For the reporting. Lets go back out to colorado now on this Super Tuesday, john berman is there it is a Super Tuesday. Weve now seen six cars, six voters drive up. It, put their ballots in that dropbox right behind me. One of 400 drop boxes and operate 24 hours a day here.

Thank you so much for being with us this morning. I imagine youre a little warmer than i am standing here outside in colorado. What donald trump went to visit your state and campaign and your state, you put out a tweet that noted that you think donald trump threatens the core of democracy. How by threatening an independent judiciary, by threatening a free press, by attacking his opponents, both democrats and republicans, by threatening a professional Civil Service and stating his plan to turn the Civil Service into a bunch of loyalists political loyalists, rather than people who will focus on serving constituents. And he is the man who fomented the attack on the capitol on january 6 because he couldnt admit that he lost and he was willing to help encourage violence to try to block the peaceful transfer of power donald trump has shown america who he is. Hes going to be every bit the same individual on probably worse. And thats why its so important that we rally around. Joe biden, Kamala Harris, and make sure that donald trump loses it is new profile in the new yorker, evan osnos interviewed President Biden in evin thinks that President Biden agrees with you that a central issue, if not the central issue, it his campaign, is democracy in are the threats to democracy . My question though is, to what extent do you you think people sitting around their Kitchen Table having breakfast this morning are talking about threats to democracy as opposed to the economy or the border. How important do you think that issue is . John, what, what we saw in 2022 was a lot of people predicted it was going to be a horrible midterm for democrats. It wasnt. And in 2023, we in virginia had elections in our State Legislature and democrats won both houses of the legislature, even though we have a republican governor and my belief is democrats performance in 2020, 2. 20, 23 was because of peoples worry about democracy peoples worry about their rights being taken away in the aftermath of the Dobbs Decision and those led democrats to do very well i do also think the economy is very, very important. I spent all day yesterday in the Hampton Roads area, virginia, talking to Small Businesses and hearing their stories of survival through covid whats happening sense. But you see unemployment down jobs, up manufacturing jobs up inflation coming down gdp, and the stock market up, and the us recovering out of covid better than any other industrialized nation. Were not where we need to be yet. People still have concerns about inflation and prices, but i think the Economic News has been positive for a long time. And in virginia, people are starting to see that so these are all issues that are very important. But i think their issues that will give us a tailwind as democrats going into 2024 Election Cycle in that new yorker profile, President Biden noted he goes, im the only one who has beat those were his words. Im the only one who is beat. Donald trump. And i dont think he was saying that at any kind of criticism to you or Hillary Clinton who were on the ticket in 2016. He was just one. He is the one who beat donald trump. And he thinks because he it says this to people that he is the only one who can beat him now, do you think that President Biden is the only one who could defeat donald trump in 2024 you know, john, i actually recall joe biden saying something different. He says he thinks there are many people who can beat donald trump, but he is the only one who has beaten donald trump. And well do it again. I think there are a number of fantastic public servants, governors, senators, mayors, House Members who could beat donald trump. But joe biden, Kamala Harris did it and they have racked up significant achievements in the twoandahalf, three years that theyve been in office you see nato expanding. Im in norfolk today, which is one where 31 of the three nato headquarters in the world we see nato expanding with sweden and finland joining, demonstrating the importance britains of democratic alliances. And obviously theres a clear choice between a president who knows how to link arms with allies on one who was threatened to leave nato let it collapse. One whos threatened, not threatened, cozied up to Vladimir Putin suggested that authoritarians like him and viktor orban or fine with donald trump. And so no, i think i think joe biden has demonstrated that itll beat donald trump and hes going to beat him again obviously, age is a concern for a lot of voters here, public allah, on our show yesterday noted one of the things President Biden, its not an issue of pivoting to the left or the center. He cant pivot to being 45 years old again. So at the State Of The Union address, which is thursday night, what do you think . The president needs to prove to the American People i think the State Of The Union is a great opportunity to show a president that is incoming end of the very complex issues facing our country domestically. And the very complicated and tough issues around the world remember, the president did that last year . He was given a State Of The Union and he started to talk about Social Security and the republicans efforts to undermine programs like Social Security, medicaid, medicare, and the republicans interrupted his speech and kind of booed at the suggestion that they would jeopardize these programs. And then he freelanced and said, oh great, so youre with these programs and lets to join together and saving them. I think you might see some moments like that thursday night where the president will get peppered a little bit from some other republicans in the audience. And hell respond in a Sharp Euhemerus and together way thatll show the American People that hes in command of the situation finally, senator if youll allow me, there has been all these new studies out about people with long covid and how people are still struggling with some of the symptoms and after effects of when they had it more than a year ago, two years ago.
