Americans weigh in on who they want to be their nominees for president. What voters are telling us as the results start to come in. Bidens too old, and trumps a little too crazy. Norah the context and analysis now on the Cbs Evening News. Good evening. Im norah odonnell, and thank you for being with us on this Super Tuesday. The biggest primary day of the election cycle. Tonight could be the kickoff to the 2024 General Election, and ultimately, a rematch between joe biden and donald trump. That would be the first time in more than 100 years for a sitting president and a former president. Millions of votes still to be counted. Cbs news predicts former President Trump will win the primary in texas. And has won nine states so far tonight on his way to capturing the republican nomination. We do want to focus on vermont for just a moment shaping up to be the closest race of the g. O. P. Primary today with more than half the votes counted, the race is still considered a toss up. President biden continues his march to the democratic nomination winning every state where cbs news can make a projection. As for the voters, cbs exit poll shows immigration and the economy are the top issues for republicans with many feeling angry about how things are going in this country. Cbss Caitlin Hueyburns is going to start us off tonight from palm beach, florida. Good evening, caitlin. Reporter good evening to you, norah. As you can see the ballroom is filling up behind me at well, this Super Tuesday may President Trumps headquarters. Feel less suspenseful than the previous years but it is no less consequential, setting the stage setting a stage for a rematch between the current and former president , while also perhaps signaling an end to nikki haleys campaign. As voters across the country cast ballots today, donald trump is aiming for a Super Tuesday sweep to force his last remaining rival, nikki haley, out of the race. There is no path for her to win. Whether she likes hearing that or not, there is no path for her to win. Reporter despite winning just one contest so far in the district of columbia, haley had vowed to stay in the running at least through today, when Republican Voters in 15 states have their say. I dont know why everybody is so adamant that they have to follow trumps lead to get me out of this race. You know, all of these people deserve to vote. Reporter a massive delegate hall wont be enough for him to clinch the delegation as soon next week, but it could solidify his dominance in the Republican Party even as he faces 91 charges and four criminal cases. In North Carolina, exit poll tonight showed that 64 of Republican Voters say trump is fit to be president if convicted of a crime. Those cases have helped to fuel his support among republicans, though some supporters told us they want him to temper his rhetoric. He has great policies, but i dont want to hear the drama. Reporter on the democratic side, President Biden is also expected to run the table. Joe biden better win. [laughs] right . I mean, i think the country, theres an awful lot at stake. Reporter but he is aiming to stave off an opponent of his own. Voters in seven states will have the option to vote uncommitted, which some democrats hope registers opposition to the president s handling of the israelhamas war. I voted uncommitted because i want to send, like, a message, that we are tired and we want a ceasefire. Reporter and trump is expected to speak behind me later tonight, but notably, nikki haley does not have any events on our schedule tonight or beyond. She is watching the returns from her home state of South Carolina tonight. Norah. Norah Caitlin Hueyburns in palm beach, thank you. Lets bring in cbss robert costa for more on tonights races. Such an interesting night because we get to hear from the voters, right, and we also have his Exit Poll Data about what are priorities were people. What is the trump team looking at tonight . Reporter norah, we are already hearing from the voters and got some new Exit Polling Information here at cbs news, and it shows some Warning Signs for former president donald trump. In North Carolina, for example, 78 of nikki haley supporters say to cbs news, they could not support the republican nominee if it ends up being donald trump. That shows, among traditional republicans, in North Carolina and elsewhere, many concerns about trumps conduct. So as trump tries to perhaps pivot towards the General Election tonight, he still has some work to do in shoring up g. O. P. Support. Norah he will win big tonight, but we are looking to see how much of that republican vote or independent vote nikki haley gets. What about the biden team . Robert they are watching suburban turnout. Can they try to win over some of those haley voters . Look for three themes from the biden campaign. A real fcus on reproductive rights. Vice president harris out there. Biden talking about january 6th, speaking to those nikki haley supporters, saying he is a defender of democracy. And you are going to see him trying to talk to working americans. Knowing that trump is winning many of them over with his message on the border, on the economy, he wants to make sure union voters in particular are sticking with biden. Norah yeah, we have heard that is a top issue for Republican Voters and independents. The economy, immigration of course. Biden has got the state of union on thursday night. Robert costa, thank you. And cbs news is going to have complete coverage of Super Tuesday throughout the night, on cbs news streaming and continuing right here on cbs at 10 00 p. M. Eastern. We hope to see you then. This news today, the u. S. And jordan airdropped more muchneeded aid into the gaza strip, while back here in washington, President Biden made an urgent push for a longawaited ceasefire between hamas and israel. Cbss ed okeefe has details now from the white house. Reporter three american c130s dropping 36,000 Meals Over Gaza today. Not nearly enough to feed more than half a Million People on the verge of famine. But on the ground, people ran towards the aid. With just five days until the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan, President Biden continues pressuring israel and hamas to agree to a ceasefire and the release of more hostages. Israel is seeking from hamas a list of hostages who are still alive. Hamas says it first needs a ceasefire to determine the status of hostages. We will know in a couple days if its going to happen. But we need the ceasefire. Reporter the president reiterated his hope for a deal by ramadan in order to avoid more violence. We get into a circumstance where this continues through ramadan, israel and jerusalem, it could be very, very dangerous. Reporter israelipalestinian tensions often flare in jerusalem during the holy month. But today, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during ramadan he will allow palestinians access to Jerusalems Alaqsa mosque, one of islams most holy sites, hopefully easing fears of violence. In washington, one of netanyahus top rivals, benny gantz, continued two days of meetings with lawmakers and Senior Administration officials. Amid growing bipartisan criticism of israels handling of the war. All of these conversations have been constructive and productive. We hope that mr. Gantz goes home, informed by the conversations that we had and the concerns that we expressed. Reporter u. S. Officials dont normally meet so publicly with the rival of a sitting world leader, so that Top Administration officials and democrats and republicans on capitol hill took the meetings with gantz at all signals bipartisan frustration with how netanyahu is overseeing the war. Norah . Norah thats a really interesting point. Ed okeefe at the white house, thank you very much. Well, tonight, there is a State Of Emergency in effect on the side of a deadly fire that set off a series of massive explosions at a Vaping Supplier North of detroit. A 19yearold man was killed when the blast sent debris flying as far as 2 miles away. Cbss Alysia Burgio reports, Officials Say it is still an active scene. Reporter the Violent Fire Spread quickly. Canisters filled with butane gas, nitrous oxide, and lighter fluid blew apart and spewed into the air. There is metal canisters that are exploding, and they are being projectiles coming All Over The Place right now. Reporter knives were blasted apart and more than 100,000 vape pens with highly combustible Lithium Batteries inside exploded. You had shrapnel going off everywhere you looked, so if you were standing outside, you are wondering, when is the next piece coming my way . Reporter the fire started around 9 00 p. M. And burned through the morning at this Vaping Supply Distributor in clinton township, just outside of detroit. The whole house shook i thought it was a earthquake. Reporter investigators think the fire started with unpermitted marijuanarelated items stored improperly inside a back storage area. We know that they were not allowed to have these canisters. They were not permitted to have them in this building. They were illegally in that building. Reporter the fire was so powerful it sent sharp, jagged shrapnel like this one raining down. Debris killed a 19yearold who was about a quartermile from the scene. His name has not yet been released. Having a civilian just walking the streets and getting hit by Something Like that completely unexpected, couldnt think of anything sadder as an outcome for this particular situation. Reporter this is still an active scene. Officials are warning that some of the canisters could still explode and are telling people to stay away from the area. Authorities say the owners of the vaping supplier are cooperating with the investigation. Norah . Norah very dangerous. Alysia burgio, thank you so much. Tonight, a major crackdown on credit card late fees. Americans have racked up more than a trillion dollars in Credit Card Debt, including more than 100 billion just since the end of the pandemic. Cbss Nikki Battiste explains how millions of consumers will finally catch a break. Reporter trying to take care of her two young children, Alyssa Sample says she has racked up 21,000 in Credit Card Debt in the last year and has fallen behind on her payments. Ive had to live on my credit cards. And i was struggling to pay them. So the late fees were piling up, and, you know, it got to a point where it just became too much. Reporter sample pays 30 every time she is late on a payment, which has ballooned to more than 2,000 in fees. Today, President Joe Biden announced late charges would be capped at 8, down from about 32. We estimate banks are generating five times more in late fees than it costs to collect late payments. They are padding their profit margins. Reporter each year, more than 45 Million People are charged late fees, which adds more than 14 billion to banks profits. Now, individual cardholders could save an average of 220 a year. Fees can be like whacamole. One goes down, another one pops up. Reporter but Credit Card Companies can still hike interest rates. I think those are all things were going to be watching for because the Bank Industry may lose Something Like 10 billion over this. Reporter as for sample, she is just hoping this will help her pay down some debt and get a fresh start. If you tell me 8, 8 is a happy medium. Thats something that you can catch up on. A lower late fee will help you pay your credit cards down faster. Or, you know, at a proper time. You have a little more motivation to pay for it. Reporter the u. S. Chamber of commerce says it plans to file a lawsuit to try to stop the biden administrations 8 cap on late fees. Nearly half of Credit Cardholders carry a balance month to month. Norah . Norah Nikki Battiste, thank you so much. Tonight in california, the race to fill the late Dianne Feinsteins senate seat is already the most Expensive Senate election in state history. Cbss jo ling kent reports on why the republican in the race is being helped by his democratic rival. Reporter in typically true blue california, the Senate Primary is coming down to both a democrat and a republican. I built championship teams. I unite people. I took the field for all the fans. And now i am running for all of the people. Reporter firsttime politician and former l. A. Dodgers steve garvey is now in a dead heat with longtime congressmen and trump impeachment manager adam schiff, trailed by democratic congresswoman katie porter and barbara lee. Run scared or run unopposed. I am not unopposed, so i am running scared. Reporter in californias jungle primary, the top two finishers advance to the General Election, regardless of party affiliation. Garvey has yet to be endorsed by donald trump or the Republican Party. Unlike his opponents, he has not purchased a single tv ad. Instead, he is getting his airtime from schiff. He voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years. Who mentions the Republican Former First Baseman in 60 of his tv commercials. Why are you giving steve garvey so much airtime in your ads . Well, he is very much running neckandneck with me in the polls. We are all competing for the same votes. Reporter schiff has outspent garvey 281, and porter is at stake for missing the cut for the followup to the General Election, calling out her fellow democrats, saying adam schiff knows he will lose to me in november, alleging he is boxing out qualified to Democratic Women candidates and boosting a republican candidate to do it. At the center of this race, inflation and the economy. The problem today is that people are still not making enough to get by. The cost of things is just too high. Ive got a plan to bring down the cost of housing and other goods so that we can help families make it in california again. Reporter here in burbank, we have seen a steady streamof voters come in and cast their ballot, but overall, because we expect to see another bidentrump match up come the General Election, we do expect california turnout today to be at historic lows. But there is still time for that to change. Millions of registered voters got their ballots by mail. They can still handle his in, and so far older voters are turning out more so than the younger ones. Norah . Norah jo ling kent there at a polling place, thank you so much.

S. History. It could also signal a reversal of how we view these manmade structures. Instead of monuments to human ingenuity, some now say they have been Decimating Ecosystems for over a century. Y, some now y have been Decimating Ecosystems for cbss ben tracy introduces us to the native tribes who pushed for change. One of our oldest stories talks about the connection between us and the river and the salmon in it. Reporter Frankie Myers is a member of the yurok tribe, Native Americans who for 10,000 years have been tied to the Klamath River and the abundant salmon that once swam through it. Without salmon in the river, there is no need for yurok people to be here. Reporter but this essential artery was blocked more than a century ago, when construction started on four dams along the klamath. They generated power that fueled western expansion, but decimated the salmon population, which could no longer swim upstream to spawn. Stagnant water behind the dams became a toxic stew of green algae. And so, what have these dams symbolized to you . As a monument to manifest destiny. This idea that we are not a part of nature. Its here for our use. And we could do whatever we want with no consequences. You guys want to have war, lets have war. Reporter now, after decades of conflict and tribal activism against the dams. [explosions] the onceshackled klamath is being set free. The dams, which no longer generate much electricity, are being torn down in a 450 million deconstruction project. We are standing on top of a lot of concrete. Its a lot of concrete. Thats what it took to impound this river. Reporter mark bramson is ceo of the klamath renewal corporation. How big of a project is this, to take down these four dams . We believe it may be the largest dam removal and Salmon Restoration Project ever undertaken anywhere in the world. Reporter but last week, at the base of another dam, Hundreds Of Thousands of tiny hatchery salmon were killed, likely by High Water Pressure as they passed through a tunnel open to let the river flow through. Once the dams are completely removed, native Salmon Populations are expected to return, and seeds are now being spread to regrow plants on land around here decades ago. Literally planting seeds for our future. I dont think theres a better metaphor that you could come up with. Reporter bringing hope back to the banks of this river.
