Stumping with jones, senator cory booker and terry sewell. Im trying to get the last, i know you made already a million phone calls, but im here to try to help to get some folk woke. Those people who dont understand the opposite of justice is injustice b, it is indifference, it is inaction and it is silence. Got to get some folk woke. We deserve to have a senator whos character and integrity and veracity is not questioned on day one and there is only one candidate in this race that we can count on. And thats doug jones. I want to bring in Senior National correspondent, alex, joining us from montgomery. We just laid out some of the latest from the doug Jones Campaign. Meantime, the roy Moore Campaign
is getting another boost from the president. Reporter they are and the Moore Campaign in contrast to the Jones Campaign has actually remained relatively silent over the course of this weekend. That is in part due to the fact that moore may feel like he is more comfortable because he knows t
The reason why the imagery we are going to see tonight of joe biden, and Amy Klobuchar, and Pete Buttigieg, a show of force will be an extremely big moment for joe biden and for Party Leaders who have been desperate for this moment to happen, the sort of coalescing of these candidates that represent what a lot of people in the party want that dont want Bernie Sanders, but dont forget, Bernie Sanders despite this is still a very big force and will be almost surely tomorrow night on super tuesday. I am curious, abby, back over to you, and picking up on the point for folks in the party that wish or hope that this nominee is joe biden and not Bernie Sanders, and there are fears as we saw them manifest in some of the senators on the stage at the last debate, so what is the feeling within the party of coalescing around more of a moderate candidate . What kind of pressure might be on other candidates to bow out now . We should not the underestimate the power of the sanders wing of the party.
Yet another sign that the establishment is, he thinks, trying to stop him. We have reporters spread out across the country on this critical voting day. Lets begin this hour in burlington, vermont, our National Correspondent athena jones is there, thats where Bernie Sanders home state is set to vote very soon. Thats right. Were waiting for senator sanders to show up any minute now. This is his home state, last time around, he won 86 of the delegates thats 86 of the vote, all 16 delegates. No reason to think he wont do so again. A lot of the focus in the last couple of days has been on moderates coalescing around joe biden. Asked about this yesterday, and whether he was concerned about that consolidation, he didnt say he was concerned about that, he used the question it talk about his own agenda for real change, saying, look, there is no secret there is a massive effort to stop Bernie Sanders. He said the corporate establishment are coming together, getting nervous about working people s
