the war. zelenskyy says they must have more aid. we're following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central >> and then there were two president biden and former president trump are now the presumptive nominees of their respective parties. it's the 2020 c-cl that according to many polls holes americans don't want the first official day of this rematch feels like history repeating. trump is slamming his latest vanquished opponent, nikki haley, then calling president biden an enemy of the united states. while biden is making an appeal to disenchanted republicans and arguing that donald trump is a threat to democracy let's get the view from florida and cnn's kristen holmes tracking this new phase of the campaign with the trump campaign. so kristen, what is donald trump saying about this now becoming official? >> well, let's go back to nikki haley's dropout speech because it was during that speech in which she said that she was not going to endorse donald trump, but really called on him to unite the party to bring people in saying that he needed to earn the votes of these republicans who are choosing not to support him, but instead sourcing her reporting her. now, he responded halfway through that speech, not even when she had finished and said this nikki haley got trounced last night and record setting fashion despite the fact that democrats, for reasons unknown, are allowed to vote in vermont and various other republican primaries much of her money came from radical left democrats, as did many you have her voters almost 50% according to the polls. at this point, i hope she stays in the race and fights it out until the end. i'd like to thank my family, friends, and the great republican party for helping me to produce by far the most successful super tuesday in history. and would further like to invite all of the haley's supporters to join the greatest movement in the hill history of our nation then goes on to say biden is the enemy. he's just drawing your country and make america great again >> okay. so just to break this down, toxic behavior goes after nikki haley then says all of her supporters are democrats or funded by radical left democrats that invites them to join the fold. i do want to make one thing very clear. donald trump's team has been working for months on a general election strategy, on a strategy to siphon off voters from traditionally democratic voting blocs that includes working class voters, black voters. it also includes people who voted for nikki haley, nikki haley supporters. obviously that's a different message than this was sending. now we also so heard from president biden who reached out to those haley's supporters because again, in a rematch both sides expect this to be incredibly close. both sides have said, every vote counts, this is what president biden not to say, said donald trump made it clear he doesn't want nikki haley's supporters. i want to be clear. there's a police for them in my campaign. i know that there is a lot we won't agree on, but on the fundamental issues of preserving american democracy, on standing up for the rule of law on treating each other with decency and dignity and respect on preserving nato and standing up to america's adversaries. i hope and believe we can find common ground. obviously, those are all things that donald trump has asked us to get rid of in terms because of nato. >> but clearly here >> two very different messages when it came to haley supporters and kristen, you and others have done reporting about the kind of penny pinching that's been happening with the trump campaign. there's obviously a serious urgency when it comes to money but now the rnc is backing trump as the presumptive nominee. so will that alleviate that? >> squeeze yeah, they're about two things that are going to happen here with haley dropping out that are going to alleviate the squeeze. one of them is the fact that there were donors who essentially said that they wanted an alternative to donald trump likely they're going to backdrop now and give that money. the other part is, as you mentioned, the rnc and this is really a total trump takeover of the republican party because what he now gets access to as the presumptive nominee and they put out a statement declaring him the presumptive nominee, congratulating him today, he gets access to all of their resources, their fundraising tools their donor list. he also gets access to their infrastructure within various states. that's important because it means that he doesn't have to have a huge team and every state he can rely on the rnc, rely on their funding to go through that process. the other part of this i do want to know it's not just about money, it's also about this takeover. ronna mcdaniel, the current chair of the rnc, has said she would step down after clashing with donald trump when he became the nominee. he has now promoted michael whatley to be the chairman, someone who had supported his claims about the 2020 election. he also supported his his daughter-in-law, lara trump, to be the co-chair of the rnc also, campaign manager, chris lacivita or co-campaign manager, is going to serve an chief operating role in the rnc. so you're seeing a full merge here of control, an alignment between the republican party and donald trump kristen holmes live for us in west palm beach, florida. thanks so much, kristen briana republican senate candidate kari lake, talking to cnn about her plan to try to win the support of all republicans in her home state of arizona, including those who back nikki haley for president, staunch trump supporters like herself and independence it's spoke with cnn's melanie zanona here a short time ago. and melas live for us now from capitol hill. tell us about this conversation and how she expects to appeal as an election denier to a lot of people who have very much rejected that yeah, this is going to be one of the most important senate races in the country because it really could determine who controls the chamber next >> year and with independent senator kyrsten sinema announcing yesterday that she is not going to run it now becomes a two-way contest with a whole pool of moderate and independent voters up for grabs. kari, lake really recognizes that she says she wants to court all voters, not just the maga wing. and she also said she wants to appeal to nikki haley voters that might be in her home state of arizona. but at the same time, she also mocked nikki haley's birth name on twitter this morning, and she also in her interview with me, attacked nikki haley for not lining up behind donald trump. >> take a listen. >> she's continued along, continue along hundreds of millions of dollars being four digit of andy project. it's time for people to get behind us than trump use opening his arms saying come on in. and it's time for people who have it was just takes some steps for him we have way too much on the line and i am saddened that she didn't count today in i think that's unfortunate >> now, she ran for governor in the last election cycle and loss. but there are some signs that she's trying to do things a little bit differently. she's been here in washington trying to line up endorsements from and it republicans, including from the establishment wing, i'm told that she's actually gonna be meeting with gop leader mitch mcconnell later this afternoon. and she's also tried to moderate her position on things like abortion, but at the same time, she is still peddling false lies about the 2020 election, as well as the 2022 election. so even as she tries to shed her image as a maga firebrand, she's still holding on now to some of those same positions that voters rejected in 2022, something no doubt her democratic opponents are going to seize on this fall. >> yeah, those are things that are very hard to moderate. indeed, melanie zanona. thank you so much. boris let's discuss the politics of the day with pollster and communications strategist frank luntz franks. thanks so much for being with us this afternoon. i actually want to start where we just left off with melanie zanona and kari lake and ask you about your conversations with republican voters and how that sort of election denialism might inform some of their votes when it comes to a candidate like kari lake, who's been in an unrepentant election, denier >> well, it's there. eye in the focus groups we do they bring it up. it is not a majority of the republicans, but it's a very large minority of them and it is passionate and they are determined not only to make their case, but determined to that this becomes a significant part of who they are as candidates. and the reason why this is important and make no mistake. i think it's actually narrowly more likely that republicans take the senate in 2024. and so a race like arizona is going to be absolutely critical similarly, for everyone who's all upset over that projection, i think it's likely that the democrats, when the house, based on the chaos that's been happening there. so every race matters, every issue matters. and the three top issues right now inflation immigration, and abortion the republicans have a double-digit lead on inflation, immigration. democrats have a double-digit lead on abortion. and it's frankly too close to call i'm curious to get your perspective on what you saw unfold on super tuesday. what you were watching for and what your impressions are generally well, i hate to undermine the question, but i wasn't watching for too much because it didn't really matter the election >> for president on the democratic and republican sides have been over before they began. donald trump has a hold on. the republican party that's even greater than ronald reagan in the 1980s. and there is no one is going to dethrone joe biden even here, however, you still have about 20% of the republicans are not happy with donald trump and may consider an alternative whether that'd be joe biden or an independent candidate. and you have 30% of democrats are not happy with joe biden will also be looking for an alternative i don't know what time in modern american history with a two presidential candidates have tremendous base support. but glaring weaknesses trump and his indictments, biden and his stage that you can escape it. you can't message that. you can't get around and so this is going to be a hard-fought, vicious mean campaign for the next eight months i'm curious about what you're alluding to there. it pulls back up what you're saying a majority of americans did not want this rematch how does that affect turnout in november? >> well i actually think we're going to have the highest turnout ever. i think that everyone who can get into a car who can walk, who can bicycle to a polling place is going to vote. here's the problem and we haven't talked about this on cnn. they're going to be voting against rather than voting for joe biden does not excite democrats. but donald trump makes them scared and they're willing to do whatever it takes to get up and go out and vote against him on the republican side, trump has a base of about 35% of the electorate. but for him to get that 50% to win the electoral college all he asked to do is alienate is turn people against joe biden i don't believe they're going to be voting for candidate. i believe in november of this year, the vast majority of americans will be saying, i don't want that individual so i'm voting against them rather than voting in favor of the candidate that they support. >> so given the way that primaries have played out so far, and given the electoral college map, would you say that there's geographically an area that's given you an indicator of where things stand right now. that is perhaps truest to what we'll see on november 5 >> that's a great question. i'm going to answer it two-fold. i'm actually looking at arizona and nevada. they're not the biggest stage you combine them and you basically equal one pennsylvania. but arizona and nevada have a very high latino, hispanic vote. that vote normally votes democrat by about 15%. donald trump has pulled, even with them and if that stays, it means that arizona will switch sides. nevada, we'll said switch sides. and it tells you that the latino vote, 20% can be 20% of the electorate to me that's decided invoked and that they switch and arizona in nevada, i would expect it to be happening nationwide. so watching those two states are my indicators of what's going to happen on election day 2024. >> frank luntz very much appreciate you sharing your perspective with us. thanks >> its ability >> we do have breaking news into cnn. we now have a date for donald trump's immunity case before the supreme court. justices saying they will hear arguments on april 25th just a little less than two months from now. obviously, this blockbuster case deals with whether a former president trump is immune from prosecution. and the federal election subversion case, the court's decision could not only determine trump's immunity, but whether he'll even face trial over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election before voters cast their ballots. in the november general election still ahead, super tuesday isn't

are expecting remarks from senate minority leader goodness senate minority leader mitch it's mcconnell who is getting set to speak just hours after he endorsed donald trump for president. obviously, one day after trump's sweeping victory is on super tuesday, it is significant given the history between those two, the comments made by donald trump, very personal about mcconnell. mcconnell responding to the way that donald trump was involved in january six we'll of course, monitor when mcconnell takes the podium there, it looks like a podium. what do you think is a little dais a lahren electron. i think that's a good word. yeah. yeah. >> so we'll keep an eye on that and we'll bring >> you his remarks as they happen. it was a very close call today for ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, after a source says that a russian missile landed just 500 yards away from his convoy. at the time, zelenskyy was in the port city of odesa with the prime minister of greece who said the two leaders were getting into their cars when the explosion happened. ukrainian officials say at least five people were killed, multiple others injured. the strike prompting zelenskyy to once again plea for a stronger air defense system. >> by chile i'd say, well, you know, we saw this strike today. well, much to skim, you can see who we are dealing with them, so they don't care where they strike lashes i know that there were victims today. i don't know all the details yet, but i know that there are dead and wounded. >> concrete knowledge. >> we need to defend ourselves first and foremost. the best way to do that is with an air defense system, a number on them so russia has since acknowledged this attack, but it's claiming in a statement that it hit a facility that contained unmanned boats. ukraine was planning to use in combat, joining us now we have cnn contributor and former moscow bureau chief jill dougherty. she's also an adjunct professor at georgetown university jill, i wonder what you think of this strike and it's also of course, so tricky to understand the veracity or hear what the kremlin is saying. >> do you >> think that it's possible at all that this was a targeted attack against zelenskyy because he had been coming from the port area. we don't know if it was exactly where he was previous to getting in the cars to leave this port area, but he had been coming from a tour of the port area when this happened well, you know, odessa has been hit numerous times is really is >> almost constant. so even the fact of going in there is dangerous. that said, you know, was looking at the russian reaction and saying, you know, high precisions strike, et cetera, on another location. i don't think it really adds up because russian intelligence has to know that zelenskyy is there and they have to know importantly that the prime minister of greece was with him. so you're dealing with a nato, an official from a nato he took as well as zelenskyy to even carry out an airstrike close to that, i think is really playing with fire and it could be putin again, testing that red line. how close can he get and send a message to zelenskyy that we construct? right? anywhere anytime that type of thing, i really of course we never know, but i would tend to think that that was more what was going on. >> i want to dig into the idea of how they could have carried out an attack like this. it would have required jill some kind of knowledge beforehand that the the president was going to be there, right >> true. but i mean, they have a lot of eyes on ukraine. i'm sure they must be tracking, where zelenskyy goes. and previously, you know, he has zelenskyy has taken officials from europe, from the united states biden was in kyiv, et cetera. >> but >> there was i think one close call also in odessa with another official that a year ago, but basically they have been able to go through the country without trouble. that said, i think we're at the point where putin the number of different levels is sending the message. i think of impunity. he's done it before, but i think now we're really at the point where he's basically saying he can do what he wants to do. that's why i would tend to think that that was what he was doing here is always a possibility, of course that this high precision strike wasn't high precision and although they say that they hit the target that they wanted to hit, but overall, it's very risky for zelenskyy to travel around the country. and the russians, i'm sure we'd like so this is the danger that he didn't as he tries to take people around and show them the reality of that war. >> he said awhile back, he'd lost track of how many times there had been assassination attempts, attempts on his life. he said it was five or six or something, but he'd forgotten exactly how many he did. take this moment, jill where the attention was on him to call for more air defense. what does ukraine need at this moment and what happens in this war if they don't get it? >> well, he said it. as you pointed out, more air defenses and more weapons, more weapons, more ammunition were actually everything and the context of this, of course, is in washington, dc, you have the congress still not approving aid for ukraine. there's great worried. cnn has been reporting numerous times about how serious the fight right now is that ukraine does not have adequate weapons to be able to fight it. so the context of this is the reality is that ukraine i needs these weapons and it's stalled in congress. so that's whether that will penetrate politicians. unclear, but that's certainly the message. >> jill >> dougherty, always great to have you. thank you so much for being with us and still ahead. hamas telling israel, we

and will continue negotiations to try to reach a ceasefire in gaza the us and uk are among the countries pressuring for an end to the violence as the humanitarian crisis gets dramatically worse, at least 20 people, including newborn babies, have starved to death in northern gaza, according to palestinian health officials, the real number may be even higher, but aid agencies have limited access in the region. one health worker telling cnn that thousands of babies could starve if israel severe restrictions on aid persist. joining us now is a unicef spokesperson. ricardo perez. ricardo, thank you so much for being with us. obviously, the situation is very dire and we do want to get a handle on what you have learned about what's going on on the ground. can you tell us the very latest? >> thanks for having me, brianna, the situation is catastrophic. it's been terrifying for children in gaza since the onset of this conflict then four months on now, it's just getting to a point nearly of no return because as you mentioned, children are dying of starvation when aid the food and nutrition products that they need so badly to stay alive are only a few kilometers away and not able to get in where we're really calling for that ceasefire as soon as possible. so more humanitarian corridors are open, more aid can get through when the suffering of hundreds of thousands of children's but of children diminishes a little bit because right now they are at severe risk, not only from bombardments and bullets on the ground, but also from disease spreading. and as you said the lack of food and malnutrition spreading very rapidly. >> and what happens. i mean how are you expecting this to increase here in the coming days and weeks if aid remains restricted that's a good question, brianna, we happen alerting the international >> community and the world over and over since this conflict started, but especially in the last couple of months because we have seen cases of malnutrition increasing and when it reaches the point of severe acute malnutrition children are basically fighting for their lives every single minute and without the proper treatment without food, without a safe space to recover, they will die. so for us, for unicef, this is not surprising. it's tragic, but it's something we saw coming and we can guarantee that if a ceasefire is not in place, if more aid doesn't get through, these numbers will indeed increase and might reach the thousands. every estimate we put out now, it's very likely to be an underestimate. so what we need now is a ceasefire, so we can get in so humanitarian workers can assess the situation and make sure that the adequate response starts to get in place as soon as possible. >> i want to dig in a little bit on the specifics about the problems getting aid in, because cnn has learned that restrictions on aid can be kind of arbitrary and often include things that you would expect should be able to get through easily. anesthesia anesthesia machines, things for oxygen machines, x-ray machines food toys that are in wooden boxes instead of in cardboard boxes are sleeping bags, hygiene kits that have nail clippers in them and we'd heard from one senator here who had gone to israel to look at what was going on that if you have a situation like that, where some kind of object is flagged in a shipment, the entire shipment might then be put aside and take weeks then to get back in. are you having any luck getting past these kinds of issues with getting aid in >> we do manage to get aid. in fact, over the weekend, we got our first truck to the north of gaza, which hadn't happened in a while after the tragic incidents or lester's, they went lots of people die trying to access aid in an area that has been completely isolated, but that's correct. we have faced the same issues in terms of getting more supplies in lengthy inspections products that are actually really important right now, been denied also long queues to get in too many sort of checkpoints along the way. so just a very, very slow process, brianna, that is preventing the necessary items and life-saving aid to get through. we have an example of wash products as we call water hygiene and sanitation products, being denied >> that would be used to >> help rebuilding some of the infrastructure that has been destroyed, including dissemination plans that are not fully operational. so it is indeed a problem and it hasn't gotten gotten any better. it's actually pretty much the same as it was a couple of months ago, which is just unacceptable given an acceptable given that children are dying every day for lack of supplies, but also violence on the ground. >> and ricardo, the most vulnerable, of course, are the smallest. and we understand according to a unicef report that was out yesterday, thousands of women due to give birth birth in the next month or babies are at risk of dying. talk to us about the specific factors that are threatening these pregnant women and the babies that they will birth again. >> a very good question, brianna, maternal health is a huge concern for unicef and it has been against since the onset of this crisis, especially in areas where aid is not getting through even in the minimum amount. so the main risks they face obviously infections. given that they're delivering babies without the proper infrastructure, without the proper health care. most hospitals in gaza have been destroyed or are not functional or at the brink of collapse health workers are stretched there. they're tired, they can no longer cope with the demand that is arriving. and women are sometimes delivering baby having says arians without anesthesia, which is some doctors would think unimaginable, but it is happening and they faced the threats of any women who would have to deliver a baby, which is a risky process in many cases, without the proper health care and without the infrastructure or the support they need in place in case something goes wrong, which it often happens so babies and women in gaza right now pregnant women who are about to deliver high, high risk brianna, and we're very concerned with the babies that are born and need support premature babies that need incubators. unicef got 50 incubators. and the last couple of days into, into rafah. but again, this is not enough, just given the sheer number and the huge demand for more support, more health care, more medication, more food, more water, and above all, an urgent ceasefire. >> yeah. and dehydration causing an issue with breastfeeding very broadly. and then there's a formula shortage sportage in the water isn't clean, it's really a really a dire situation. a ricardo. thank you so much for being with us. we really appreciate it >> thank you. >> still ahead. it's set to be a biden trump rematch in november, but a president can only do so much if his party doesn't win congress. next, we're going to look at key down-ballot races

senators and bring you up to speed of mcconnel does mention this apparent change in mood that he had to endorse donald trump for president. aside from the presidential primaries that we saw yesterday on super tuesday, the day set the stage for some key down-ballot races. let's get into those because there are razor thin majorities in both the house and senate. and these races could define the balance of power. in the next congress. first, let's start and the california's senate primary. cnn is projecting that democratic congressman adam schiff is going to face off against republican candidate and former major league baseball star steve garvey. they held off two sitting congresswoman katie porter and barbara lee. we also have to mention the record setting money spent in this race over $70 million spent in this primary alone also in the golden state, voters went to work filling two vacant seats, one from adam schiff running and district 30, another district 20, once held by former house speaker kevin mccarthy, republican vince fong, endorsed by mccarthy and donald trump currently in the lead in district 20. democrat laura friedman, pulling away from a crowded 15 candidate contest and district 30, shifting to another house race, this one in the south and alabama we're in the first congressional district because of redistricting. we saw a rare intra-party battle of republican house members, friends, turned foe. cnn is projecting that congressman barry moore is going to defeat the incumbent in that first congressional district. fellow congressman jerry carl meantime, another senate primary harry in texas there. congressman colin allred will be the latest democrat to try and defeat incumbent center. and one time presidential candidate, ted cruz. cnn is projecting that all read a former tennessee titans linebacker who broke with his party over president biden's handling of the border will have a vote to avoid a runoff and go head-to-head with cruise, the republican winner. we should point out all red he's got a tough fight ahead of him. no democrat has won statewide office in texas and 30 years that is the longest losing streak of its kind in the united states and finally, what is expected to be the most competitive governor's race in november in north carolina cnn is projecting that lieutenant governor mark robinson secured the republican nomination on the other side, cnn projecting that attorney general josh stein has won the democratic primary. robinson has a streak of folbigg, an anti-semitic rhetoric that will likely play a role in the general election. stein, meantime, he enjoys the backing of the state's current governor, as well as a sizable war chest. both this governor's race and the presidential election in north carolina could be neck and neck. brianna all right. let's talk more about this now. a growing political spotlight shining on north carolina with anderson clayton chair of the north carolina democratic party, anderson, it is great to have you and i know that we're sort of fresh off of watching what happened here. 12% of democrats, 88,000 voters voting no preference last night, instead of for biden, which is notable especially because trump won north carolina in 2020 by less than 75,000 votes. do you have a handle on why they voted no preference? >> i mean, i think that young voters right now, especially across our college campuses, are advocating and using their democratic process, right, to make sure that they are pushing this president to do what they need him to do right now, we're really proud to see the vice president call for a ceasefire when she was in selma this last week. and we are very excited to see this administration takes seriously the needs of young voters in this election cycle. but i will say what we have seen in north carolina, in particular this a margin that we're looking at for the 88,000 voters is not any different than it's actually smaller than what we saw in barack obama's reelection campaign. and in 2012 and north carolina as well but i do want to make sure that folks understand that people are speaking and i'm proud honestly to say that folks are using the democratic process to do that rather than saying we're just not going to vote, that's something that i'm really excited to see that young people are saying we're going to organize our power to be stronger in this year it was pretty amazing and 2008 when obama won north carolina, something he couldn't repeat in 2012, biden obviously came pretty close in 2020, didn't seal the deal though. why do you think that he can now i mean, if we're looking at obama where it was sort of this swing of about on 115,000 votes. why do you think biden will not see that in north carolina >> we even saw it from 2016 to 2020, the margin that donald trump won by in this state decrease. and we know that north carolina is a state that's on the margins. it's won and lost on the margins. north carolina has the second highest rural population decides any state in the country other than texas right now. and we're looking at it administration that's fundamentally said we believe in revitalizing rural economies again, this is the first federal administration. i feel like in history, that's invested money directly into communities. these communities need to hear that this year american rescue plan act, the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the inflation reduction act, or three historic pieces of legislation that invested money directly into those communities, people and companies like wolfspeed here in north carolina, received millions of dollars of investment. three guys that started a chip manufacturing plant when they graduated from nc state university. and one of our flagship public universities here in north carolina a university system that was founded by democrats in north carolina and really invested in their right and their ideas. and that's what this administration has done. and that's what we've got to tell people across this state this year. joe biden lost north carolina by 20 or 74,000 votes in 20 20. and we know that we have the ability to go after and chase every single person in this state this year to turn out for him. >> how do you turn them out in the rural areas? >> you come in and show and show up i mean, what barack obama had in 2008 that i've heard consistently on the ground from people from murphy to manio in north carolina is saying, we had an organizer for that campaign out here talking to us people. i think really negate the aspect of just what these communities, what people on the ground? think to see right now, which is that government cares about them again, right now, people feel very alienated and the republican party in north carolina has strategically done a good job of making sure that folks feel like government's not working for them right now. and that's not true what bidenomics and why bidenomics in north carolina isn't working as effectively as it needs to, is because our state legislature it legislature saying that right to work laws are still okay to be in place. we were an anti-union state and joe biden is building a union economy right now. he's the first president and the nation's history to walk on a picket line. i mean, people want to see the fact that workers rights, that the front line of the fight that we're going into this year because we know that people it's pocketbooks are hurting and they're hurting because of corporate greed. they're hurting because of the fact that folks are getting bled dry from the fact that people are using the post pandemic and the inflation against them. and this administration is trying their hardest to make sure that people know that they're fighting for them on the other end of this too. >> anderson, it's great to speak with you. of course, we'll be watching your state very carefully. thanks for being with us >> thank you >> and

leaders that won't be my decision to make. but i think it's totally appropriate. >> you endorse a candidate in the leadership race to succeed. >> you know no. >> okay >> so two big pieces of news there, mcconnell saying that he is not endorsing a candidate for senate leader upon his vacating, that position. then mcconnell answering different questions about his endorsement of donald trump effectively the same way, saying that after january 6, 2021, when he said that trump should be held accountable for what happened at the capitol that day, or a riot in which insurrectionists tried to undo the results of the 2020 election as they were being certified. mcconnell says that even in those moments where he was remarking that trump should be held accountable, he believed that he would support the republican nominee for president in 2024, even if it were donald trump still plenty more news to come on. cnn news central, we're back in just a few moments, stay with us >> president
