Nation and as a republic. Based upon broad popular suffrage, obviously not as broad as today because women couldnt vote, and most states blacks couldnt vote. But more than any other country in the world. And it insured that that nation as lincoln said in the gettysburg address would not perish from the earth. And its by abolishing slavery it he venly got rid of the institution that had made a mockery of american professions of freedom. And set the stage for the development of the United States in the last 150 years. Martin wolf and James Mcpherson when we continue.

Welcome to the stage, former Vice President joe biden. Hello, sir. Nice to see you. Welcome. Hi, folks. Reporting for duty, sir. Weve got a lot of questions from the audience. I just want to start out. The president just today has been acquitted. Youre kidding. Abuse of power and obstruction of justice. Perhaps you heard. Hes already calling it. He said its a victory on the impeachment hoax on twitter. Is this a victory for the president . I cant imagine being president of the United States and having all of one party plus someone from your own party vote to say you should be thrown out of office and view that as a victory. As we stand here tonight, 86 of iowa precincts have finally reported their vote counts. Youre currently in fourth place. Youve called what happened there a gut punch. What happened . Well, i think what happened look, lets put this in perspective. There are a total of, what, 44 delegates are going to come out of that. And it looks like its going to break down somewhe
Morning times that. I aint dead. Along with myself and joe and willie we have Steve Rattner, professor at Princeton University eddie glaude jr. And from the super tuesday earthquake that rocked the race for the democratic nomination are still being felt this morning. Joe biden added a tenth state to his list of super victories after nbc news declared him the apparent winner of maine. Wow. The only race we havent been able to call is california. Nbc deems that race still too early to call. Sanders holds a ninepoint lead right now. Of the states massive 415 delegates, sanders has been awarded 161 so far. Biden 100. The former Vice President still leads the overall delegate count, a difference of 52. Meanwhile, Mike Bloombergs decision yesterday to end his campaign means biden now has the room to charge ahead in the moderate lane all by himself. As the race now moves to next tuesdays contests in idaho, michigan, mississippi, missouri, north dakota and Washington State. Heres some of what
I want to share what a nurse says she has to deal with. Its caused suffering, death, dying, going on to the next one. Doing your best, doing everything you went to school for, sometimes everything you do is not enough. We dont see an end. Obviously this is not just about new cases. According to the washington post, at least seven states have seen hospitalizations jump to brandnew highs. You wouldnt know it in arizona where thousands of people packed in to see President Trump, most of them without wearing masks. During the president s Campaign Event he repeated the false claim otherwise known as a lie that the only reason we have more cases is because of more tests. When you have all those tests, you have more cases. So the news says they have more cases look, we want to do testing. We want to do everything. But they use it to make us look bad. Nope, that came just hours after dr. Anthony fauci fact checked the president during his congressional testimony. Yet an increase in the percent
Coronavirus pandemic. Theres a lot to get to. Lets start with cnns john harwood who joins me now from the white house. John, what are you hearing about how the president is responding to this pressure . Reporter well, we can see how hes responding, kate. Saw it in dallas at the roundtable yesterday, and what hes doing is seeing this wave for change that is sweeping across Public Opinion and the country, black and white, and hes pushing back against it. The president is stuck in the world view that has characterized his life. Racial conflict has been a big part of his life when he was in private business and as a political strategy, and now he leads a Political Party that relies almost exclusively on white votes and base he leads within that party is the most racially conservative whites, the kind of people who think that discrimination against whites or excessive concern for equal rights is as much a problem as racism is, so you saw him in that roundtable saying that were not going to
