I am jose diazbalart. Its Super Tuesday, and right now voters are casting their ballots in 16 states and one u. S. Territory. It could mark a decisive moment. Nikki haley is looking for an upset. Trumps name will be included on every republican ballot, 24 hours after the Supreme Court handed him a victory saying no state can bar him from the ballot because of his actions on january 6th. We begin with our national correspondent, steve kornacki, at the big board, and Vaughn Hillyard covering the Trump Campaign, and ali vitali joining us from the road covering the Haley Campaign.

Ability to hold Public Office ever again based on a reading of the insurrection cause of the 14th Amendment. It appears likely that trump will probably be allowed to remain on the ballot but we just dont know exactly how the justices will rule or what kind of implications that may have on both the primary and on trumps legal cases. Speaking of which, the federal election interference trial in d. C. Was supposed to start tomorrow we had it not been paused due to trumps appeal of the decisions against his ridiculous absolute president ial immunity claim. A Supreme Court hearing on that claim has just been added to trumps calendar for april. Even though that trial has been delayed, trump will still find himself a criminal defendant this month. Beginning on march 25th, manhattan District Attorney, alvin bragg, will be the first to bring his case to court against the former president. Trumps former personal attorney, michael cohen, and the adult film actress, stormy daniels, are among the w
From washington tonight. Lawfare loses again. Thats the focus of tonights angle. Laura for years, they led themselves, their viewers, and all those suffering from tds, trump derangement syndrome, down the garden path. Now, once they branded january 6th as insurrection. They believed they were off to the races. So it was multiple attacks against trump using the insurrection as a foundation. That would result in him losing or, in the colorado case, they thought he would never be on the ballot at all. He basically incited a violent insurrection of the United States capitol. Donald trump incited this insurrection. He wanted did to happen. He wanted the electoral count to stop. We should read the constitution as it is written. Instead, he should be removed from office trump for the 14th Amendment. Laura today, their faces told the story. They will look like they had lost their best friends. And they sounded defeated.

The former president attended proceedings in florida, where a judge is weighing when the federal documents case against him will go to trial. More on that in a moment. But first, it is now up to a judge in georgia to decide whether fani willis, the District Attorney overseeing the Election Interference Case against trump there, should be removed from the case over alleged impropriety. The Senior National correspondent kevin corke is live in dc with more from the Closing Arguments and what, if anything, we can read from the tea leaves.

Primary. Im Michael Smerconish in philadelphia. Voting is underway now in South Carolina unless all the polls are wrong, donald trump will score a big victory over nikki haley and move one step closer to securing the gop nomination. This despite facing four criminal indictments and personal financial peril on friday in new york state, judge finalized a 355 million judgment against trump and triggered a countdown for when trump must put up cash or post bond to cover that amount. Plus the roughly 100 million in interest that he was ordered to pay. Thats a huge sum No Matter What trumps net worth might be. And it doesnt include the combined the 88 million that he owes e.
