Trace thank you, good evening, im trace gallagher. Its 11 00 pm on the east coast, 8 00 in los angeles and welcome to our special Super Tuesday Election Coverage, the biggest night yet in the race for the white house. Polls closing right this minute in california and utah but as it stands, as you saw, donald trump having a very good night. Already sweeping the majority of the states in place so far. It looks like about 11. We will get to that as the night goes on. After tonight, winning a windfall of delegates, the former president is expected to be a stones throw away from clinching the gop nomination. Meantime from the Nikki Haley Campaign, we are hearing crickets. We are now being told that she will not be making any public remarks tonight and of course if that changes we will bring you that. The president also not speaking. But we will be speaking for the next two hours. We have team fox coverage. Live at the Trump Campaign headquarters in florida. Bill in South Carolina with how n
we re in. the pain at the pump could be playing a big role in how they feel. the white house still shifting blame for gas prices but americans are not buying it. half, 50% are saying the president and his policies are to blame. the top white house economic advisor is playing some dodge ball. haven t played that since fourth grade. this guy is good at it. brian dietz refusing to say what the white house plan on inflation might show results. when do you expect us to see a meaningful change in inflation or in growth? give us a rough idea, how many months, how many years? let me finish the point i was making. manufacturing is come back at a record rate. i want to ask you again when do you expect to see inflation at 2%? will it take three months, a year, will it take two years? we re focused on the policies that will actually accelerate that process. give me a ballpark? there is a lot of people out there in the predicting business. we re in the building business. i t
President trump knows that, i think, thats why he appointed her to be ambassador of the u. N. This is exactly what im talking about. We have to leave behind negativity and chaos, and move forward. We Cant Fix Democrat chaos with republican chaos. One of the things that makes iowa more interesting, if it could get more interesting, someone you know has close ties to iowa that you can have crossovers. Like prior to today or today, democrats and independents can switch their registration for a day. They can Caucus Tonight in the republican caucuses. How much do you expect democrats and independents to help Nikki Haley in your state tonight. Thats a good question. I dont know for sure. But, you know, this is a campaign thats focused on Uniting Americans and bringing people together. Winning elections is about building coalitions, so we cant win the general election if we dont bring independents and democrats into the campaign. I think Nikki Haley has demonstrated that shes able to do that.
Know you correct it. Haley disparages the caucuses and insults you. Americans were promised a secure retirement. Nikki haleys plan ends that. Joining us now, kristen sulty sanderson, scott jennings, keith bettingfield, not the nicest of ads. You had an interesting piece talking about the not inevitable going to happen, maybe not likely, but the sort of beyond trump majority. Could you speak to that . Yeah, so i really dont think theres a majority of republicans who at this point seem eager to turn the page from trum tr trump. Through there is a majority that says, look, i want to keep any eye on the future. Donald trump is not going to be around forever. They entered the Campaign Season looking to see are there other
She defeats Joe Biden not just by a few points, by some points, 15 or 17. This is somebody who i think has demonstrated she can bring americans together, unite them and turn them out to vote as well. Would you say you expect a substantial amount of support for her. 2012, there was a republican caucus, not a democratic one there. Nbc news did some analysis and found 11 of iowans who participated in the caucuses were democrats or independents. This could help you a lot. Are you banking on that . You cut out there a little bit, but i think i know what your question was. Well see what the turnout looks like tonight. I think well see some crossover. Do i think it will be substantial . Not really, i think at the end of the day, this is mostly going to be republicans participating in the caucus tonight. Representative austin harris, put the Snow Boots on and parka on, youll be out. Thank you
