Clear path to pull away in the delegate chase. Joe biden gets a late but important endorsement in must win South Carolina. This country is at an important point. It is time for us to restore this countrys dignity. No one wants to admit it, to the fundamental principles that make this country what it is. My good friend, my late wifes great friend, joe biden. A packed hour ahead. We begin right there, the morning after the big South Carolina democratic debate and joe biden landing that late but key endorsement, the influential South Carolina congressman, democratic james clyburn. Guaranteeing a win saturday and try to help as other candidates try to make inroads with africanamericans. That competition was a sub plot of last nights debate. More a food fight. If you get nominated we will be arguing this all year. I want to sen those democrats back to the United States house. Lets listen to them when they say they dont want to be out there defending Vice President biden, please. Senator Bernie Sanders you see him there also campaigning in South Carolina right now. Sanders is in play in South Carolina poised for a solid or better super tuesday and already the early delegate leader. He was the number one debate target. The other six candidates trying to paint sanders as way too risky a bet. I think i would make a better president than bernie. Imagine spending the better part of 2020 with Bernie Sanders versus donald trump. Think about what will be like for this country. Bernie sanders analysis is right. The difference is i dont like his solutions. Bernie in fact hasnt passed much of anything. I dont think this is the best person to lead the ticket. Should you keep on going we will elect bernie. Bernie will lose to donald trump. On the ground live in charleston this morning, three days left to campaign. What is the sense the morning after . John, some of those bruises, i think, still healing from last night. It was an extraordinary freeforall, unclear who the actual winner was. Joe biden clearly had a bounce in his step this morning as he accepted that endorsement from congressman james clyburn. There is no stronger or better endorsement if you want if youre joe biden. All the other rivals would have accepted this but he needs it. It speaks to an older set of africanamerican voters in particular who are still undecided. Over half said they could still change their minds. Joe biden was looking for a strong debate performance. He needed it last night, and he got it. Ive been to all these debates and i think it was his strongest debate performance. The question is Bernie Sanders making inroads with Younger Voters. The clyburn announcement, what does that mean for Younger Voters . Older establishment, but Bernie Sanders is not looking beyond South Carolina like his Campaign Said he might be doing several days ago. He is going to spartan and columbia and if he wins in South Carolina, its game over for stopping his movement. Joe biden thinks he is winning here and campaigning here and now has the seal of approval from congressman clyburn. The next three days certainly fascinating here and off to the races on super tuesday. A lot of fun still ahead. Appreciate it very much. With me in studio to share their insights with julie and cnns Malika Henderson and jackie with the daily beast and marg goes with axios. I will come back to it. A few days ago, sanders said we will do our best in South Carolina. You had a debate and pop off and say, biden has that and i will do a muscle flex come tuesday. They clearly see a chance to win. Everyone last night saying youre radical, outside the mainstream, you tank the party. Sanders holding his ground. Do we think healthcare for all, pete, is some kind of radical communist idea. Lets talk about that. Do we think raising the minimum wage to living wage . Do we think building millions of units of Affordable Housing and raising taxes on billionaires is a radical idea. Lets talk about this. The debate was messy. It was unruly and out of control at times. However, if youre a voter watching, especially a Bernie Sanders voter no reason to turn away. He defended it, he had fight and spunk and knew he was the target and said bring it on. We dont know how firm of support in South Carolina. Hes certainly doing around africanamericans than with hillary clinton. He has about 20 or so. You could tell joe biden, theyre trying to figure out, he went after sanders on gun control mentioning some of his past votes that dont look so good in terms of where the Democratic Party is on those votes now. He also went after steyer on private prisons. Steyer is sitting on about 19 of the africanamerican vote. Hes being squeezed on both sides to see how solid that support is. Jim clyburn, is he closer to 5 in margin of victory or 10 , jim clyburn known around the state among older africanamericans and younger also and he has a huge Field Operation there. Back to senator sanders. What was interesting was everybody came after him. More gentle than the others but even Elizabeth Warren on the debate stage and later in the spin room. The plan bernie has put out doesnt explain how we get there, doesnt explain how we will expand the coalition to get it done and doesnt explain how we will pay for it. Thats a real problem. Everybody, even likeminded progressive Elizabeth Warren understands if sanders gets a second in South Carolina and has a very strong super tuesday number one, theyre toast. They have no wins. Whats their claim to stay in the race and he opens a delegate lead. Elizabeth warren, theyre going hard and those are voters you want to give you another look going after particularly his most loyal supporters. However, the others, the attacks just didnt land, even the gun answer, he doesnt really have a good answer for, that would be palatable to people more gun control, nothing really landed on him. Part of that is delivery and part, when youre someone making the same arguments as long as Bernie Sanders is, he knows who he is and he can have answers to be called out. One thing i would say of warren, i was at 1 of her events in South Carolina, really interesting. She has resisted for a long time going after anybody in the field particularly because if he were to falter she knows she would inherit some of his supporters. I spoke to several women who said they wanted to see her do that in the debate. They think she is the better progressive candidate and wanted her to make that case. In some ways she is responding to what she is hearing from her voters. And going after bloomberg plays into that. Bloomberg made the most explicit case against sanders as the nominee, democrats, if they nominate him he would lose to trump and they would take down the house and the senate as well. But warrens role as sanders wing man, which is really weird and interesting to watch, not that she wants him to be the nominee but probably more than bloomberg helped dial that back. With bloomberg, the real question is whether we can see him translate what hes doing to sanders on stage to ads. Hes resisted it so far and all antitrump ads and pro bloomberg ads and we will see whether that makes a difference. Will someone, someone emerge as the alternative to sanders opposed to this group beating him up hes fine with if he gets 38 of the vote and theyre splitting up the other, theyre fine with that. Bloomberg says it should be me and vicepresident biden needs a win and says it should be me and the other spot, mayor buttigieg, he is not expected, he has trouble with voters of color. We saw that in nevada and South Carolina, democrats, you have to pick one and he says, it should be him. I think our best shot, if you believe in a different vision from senator sanders, where most democrats are, the time has come for us to look at what our strongest option will be, the person gotten the most delegates besides him, the only 2001 beat Bernie Sanders so far in the country this year, i believe ours is the right campaign. Its an argument. Hes right. He won more delegates barely in iowa and competitive in New Hampshire and right on the facts. If you move on and have a disappointing South Carolina and super tuesday, wheres the win . Wheres the money for Pete Buttigieg . One of the things you saw him do early on in that debate was give the name of his website. Hes running low on money and hasnt been able to attract voters of color at this point, Younger Voters either. He was fine in that debate and always very articulate. I think he has trouble breaking through partly because hes a 38yearold mayor of a small town or former small mayor of a small town in indiana. Its a lot to ask people to back him for president. People have mayors and dont necessarily think their own mayor should be president of the United States. Its a leap to ask voters in South Carolina to back him. Well see. And you have familiar faces like biden and sanders and then every time you look at the tv seeing a bloomberg ad. Well come back to the story and this programming note and continue our series of town halls from South Carolina, Michael Bloomberg, joe biden, Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren.

President trump is promising a White House Coronavirus update tonight after regrouping decision after criticism saying the administration is not doing enough. Democrats are center in that criticism. Chuck schumer detailing a proposal to put up 8. 5 billion to fight the virus dwarfing 2. 5 billion in new emergency me on the trumped a administration requested. Theres consideration of more potential travel restrictions. The president s own words and tweets continue to complicate the crisis management. The u. S. In great shape including this one trying to make the outbreak as bad as possible and quote panicking markets. That departs from how Senior Trump Administration and Health Officials describe the threat this morning moments before those president ial tweets. If you look at the other countries, italy, iran, japan, south creekorea, they are havin communities spread through their country and spreads to other countries and if it happens is the makings of a pandemic. If we do, almost certainly we will get impacted. If we have a global pandemic, no country will be out impact for sure. John, one of the challenges seems to be the president has been casual dismissive, yet you hear dr. Fauci and hes like dont panic but be prepared. You see happy talk from the president and larry kudlow and others who said we have it under control, dont worry about the state Department Dip and expertise like dr. Fauci, trying to accelerate the development of a vaccine at nih. This is a moment for recalibration for the white house because republicans have joined democrats in questioning the administrations readiness. Theyre not buying the happy talk. John kennedy of louisiana questioned the acting Homeland Security secretary saying youre not giving me the answers i want. And another, youre not asking for the money you need. And the president privately concluded he was in trouble, when he was in india yesterday, he was telling a group of business leaders, this coronavirus is the kind of external shock that may hurt your business that had nothing to do with you. That reflects the president trying to push off responsibility. You can bet he is going to say, it wasnt my fault, blaming democrats today. It will be very interesting to see after he gets an update to date briefing including from the Health Experts, exactly what tone he strikes at 6 00 tonight. Interesting to see who the president brings out with him. John harwood, appreciate that reporting. The president was overseas. He can get fully informed overseas. We live in a world of technology. 25 years ago, you could say maybe hes not getting the right information. The president said, it will go over soon, it will go away and when it gets warm, it will disappear. There will be a vaccine soon. Soon means a couple month, heres dr. Fauci. Were close to starting a phase one trial to determine safety. We will do that in 1 1 2 to 2 months. That doesnt mean you have a vaccine. To get a vaccine practically deployable for people to use it will be at least a yeartoyear and a half at best. The president is saying everybody in our business is trying to understamine him. No, i hope his friend, Rush Limbaugh is right and this is like the common cold. You want successful information from everybody in charge and not mixed signals including the president. And talking about the markets and science, i think it undermines how its impacting. Yes, the economy matters. When it comes to peoples safety and their health, you would hope that would be the focus and not the dow. We know the president pays close attention to the dow. It looks like the dow plummeting 2000 points over these last days is what brought him to this moment. We will see if hes out front, truthful. You want to hear more from these medical professionals who understand a science and arent so interested in the political spin of it all, what the president wants to do. Thats interesting. I have no issue if the president worries about the Global Economy as he worries about americans Public Health but hes worrying about it in terms of the election, if theres supply chains to be dealt with now because that with will impact the economy and Public Health. He is worried about the reelection and wants to brag about the state department and you have seen wall street in the past couple of days. You have seen his top Economic Advisor this is a health and economic crisis. If that happens, that one time shock in china will happen into the second and Third Quarter and youre looking at the kind of global recession nobody wants to see happen. Thats true. Any president would be worried about the economy. How you talk about it with the public is important. Right now, this is a crisis slash pandemic or potentially pandemic on two parallel tracks. One is the implications in china and how it affects major u. S. Industry, airlines, cruise lines, apple, disney, china. If these two tracks merge, forget about it. They need to figure out, do they want a czar, want to call it a czar, run out of hhs or South Carolina<\/a>. This country is at an important point. It is time for us to restore this countrys dignity. No one wants to admit it, to the fundamental principles that make this country what it is. My good friend, my late wifes great friend, joe biden. A packed hour ahead.

They need to figure out, do they want a czar, want to call it a czar, run out of hhs or National Security<\/a> council . My bet is out of the last. Who will it be and how to keep everyone calm without acknowledging theyre taking it seriously. We will begin to hear about it. This is when it is important for the president seen as an honest broker and trustworthy and deals in facts. Half of the country do not see this president , probably more if you have republicans in private moments dont see this president as an honest broker and talk about whats in the best interests of the country and not best interests of his own reelection. It will be an important moment for him to get up there tonight, if he chooses to, if he talks about it as president for the entire country and not president for republicans. And someone who study this brief. Its no shock he would be surprised by Something Like<\/a> this, can understand this. You can study this like in the Obama Administration<\/a> in ebola to figure it out and communicate with clarity. My question is, why didnt they go big . Number one, because of the threat, potential threat. Two, the president is up for reelection. Lets send reassuring signals from the beginning. Instead, sent out a low ball request. 1. 5 million for the Infectious Disease<\/a> and 3 billion for social Services Emergency<\/a> fund and 2 billion for state and local reimbursement and 1 billion for the emerging Health Threats<\/a> reserve fund and 1 billion for the National Institute<\/a> of health vaccine. I dont understand that. Is that right . Public Health Experts<\/a> are seeing it. Democrats say, lets go big, if we have money left over, thats great. The administration came in small. Will we get a different message tonight . I think they came in small because the president s approach to everything is nothing bad ever happens on his watch. It happened on obamas watch and ebola. He doesnt like those comparisons and you saw him over and over down play it and now concerns raised by republicans and Health Officials<\/a>. If there is any time to set aside politics and Work Together<\/a> its Something Like<\/a> this very serious for the american people. You would hope they come together be it other places and messaging. In the file, there is a tweet for everything. October 2nd, 2014, ebola crisis, the early days. Private businessman, donald trump, ebola is much easier to transmit than the cdc and government representatives are admitting, spreading over africa and fast. Stop flights. It was when a certain businessman from manhattan was remember how much pressure obama was under. He had to name a czar to take over this. Even though the instances in the u. S. Was small he had to show he was getting his arms around this. Thats why they say to the president you have to show you are taking care of this. The government may have looked at this analysis earlier and said this was a containable problem. This may not have been an issue of underfunding or confidence or anything, may be an issue of how the illness is spread. We will see. There will be email chains. In the context of staff purges and loyalty oath we were talking about until yesterday when this testimony hit the hill, that is, to julies point, neproblem, which is can you trust the data and figures youre hearing when its not a matter of election, a lofty topic, health, ability to go to work and school and not be sick and not endanger your or your familys life. Something that potentially touches every family in america. Stay on top of it. The president s speech at 6 00 p. M. Back to the 2020 race and joe biden. If you missed it, a few tastes of what Michael Bloomberg<\/a> considers humor. Im surprised they show up because i would have thought after i did such a good job beating them last week theyd be a little afraid to do that. I think whats right for new york city isnt necessarily right for all the other cities. Otherwise, youd have a naked cowboy in every city. Misconception, that im six feet tall. B11 is that . Steve harvey . Give me b11 isnt bingo just an ok use of your hosting abilities . Its like getting a Samsung Galaxy<\/a> s20 5g, and not getting it with at t. Bingo no, i only called out two letters. Now, you might have go, you could have bi, but you cant have bingo. Get the most from your revolutionary Samsung Galaxy<\/a> s20 5g. Switch now and get one free from at t. Building 5g on americas best network. Joe biden rolled out a big endorsement today in a state he guarantees a win. I want the public to know im voting for joe biden. South carolina should be voting for joe biden. I know joe. We know joe. But most importantly, joe knows us. Now, South Carolina<\/a> congressman jim clyburns support for biden was not exactly a secret. The public rollout was important as the former Vice President<\/a> is challenged by both Bernie Sanders<\/a> and tom steyer for support among critical africanamerican voters. You hold in your hands in South Carolina<\/a> the power to choose the next president of the United States<\/a>. I am here, heart and soul, with everything ive got to earn the support of the people of South Carolina<\/a>. I promise you this. If you send me out of South Carolina<\/a> with a victory, there will be no stopping us. Not sure about the last part. Not sure about the last part. Dont mean it to be disrespectful. He doesnt have a ton of money on hand and bernie is well organized and mayor bloomberg with money. He doesnt hide it and he has to win in South Carolina<\/a> or his rationale is done. How he wins has to be a decisive victory, if not, super tuesday is three days later. That win and that lead. Thats why youre seeing the Biden Campaign<\/a> create a sense of momentum. Hard to do it without momentum. You saw a pretty good debate performance where he came in more energized than previous showings. Following it up with a biden endorsement. I was talking to a biden endorsement, theyre hoping its double digits and not Single Digits<\/a> and propels him to super tuesday, an expensive day. He doesnt have a lot of cash on hand. His numbers werent as strong as months ago. This is his best state. He leads among women in South Carolina<\/a> and leads among older voters, 6595 and black africanamericans. Biden is the second choice for a lot of voters and trying to peel away from sanders and stiers. He gets 28 of men. 28 of men with other candidates say checked choice is biden. And the percentage of young voters, say second choice is joe biden. He is the leading choice among liberals and he has some room to grow. You saw in that press conference make the stakes plain, listen south carolinians upon if youre flirting with sanders, its time to get serious. Its all in your hand in terms of putting him in a better position. To jackies point, he said he needs a win, a big win, a wow win out of South Carolina<\/a>. Well see from what hes done so far. I think he had a strong debate performance. You could tell him reaching out to the constituencies and nominating a black woman to the supreme court. Very subtle. Not subtle. Everyone was doing that last night. We will see who it works for. Clyburn said, we know joe biden and sanders not as much as knowing the folks in that state. Sanders has worked hard. We talked about sanders learning lessons in 2016. He had decent latino support and built on it and did not have good africanamerican support and works hard. Joe biden in that debate thinking if youre with senator sanders, think again. Lets talk about being progressive. Walking distance to mary emanuel church, nine people shot dead by a white supremacist. Bernie voted five times against the brady bill. Primary barack obama, someone should, in fact, the president was weak and our administration was not up to it. Lets talk about progressive. Progressive is getting things done. Thats what we got done. We got a lot done. That was almost out of the box for joe biden. He knew that was one of the things he needed to try. You know those numbers you just went over . Yes. That second choice number you can look at it in a good way seeing the younger voter support or sign of weakness how i look at it. In the different splits, it is the black vote in South Carolina<\/a> the narrowist, not the biggest. It was supposed to be the biggest lead. That is supposed to be the firewall. Bernie sanders because of his support of Younger Voters<\/a> caught up so much, even in South Carolina<\/a>, its 60 black voters in the democratic primary, even there sanders is much closer than joe biden wanted him to be and that may play out in other states. The steyer factor and im not sure whether it comes from older black voters. Older than what i can tell. It was about Climate Change<\/a>. Hes been on the air going back months and months and months with impeachment. I think thats right. Steyer in South Carolina<\/a>, a total money play, actually been in a lot of communities. Up next, he just landed a senior position in the Trump White House<\/a> and hes still a senior in college. Veteran madef doing whats right, not whats easy. So when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. Thats how you do it right. Usaa insurance is made just the way martins family needs it with hasslefree claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. Because doing right by our members, thats whats right. Usaa.

With nine grams of protein and twentyseven vitamins and minerals. Ensure, for strength and energy. Topping our political radar, the white house just hired a 23yearold College Student<\/a> for a top job in the all important personnel office, james bacon, a senior at the university of washington will work directly under mcentee. He worked with trump on the campaign and transition. Reigniting a big debate over whether Bernie Sanders<\/a>, a sanders nomination would be a down ballot disaster for the Democratic Party<\/a>. This the take of Pete Buttigieg<\/a>. It adds up to four more years of donald trump and Kevin Mccarthy<\/a> as speaker of the house and inability to get the senate into democratic hands. The time has come to stop acting like the presidency is the only thing that matters. Not only do we want to get President Trump<\/a> elected, we have a house to worry about and senate to worry about. House speaker, nancy pelosi responding this morning saying, quote, i think whoever our nominee is we will enthusiastically embrace and win the white house and senate and house of representatives. Does she mean it . This is all the talk of South Carolina<\/a> nans and interesting to see them about the acceptance of Bernie Sanders<\/a> and you hear some here saying total disaster. And others starting to make the case. He can bring in young people and maybe expand the electorate a little bit more and maybe bring in seats we didnt think were a possibility but the party is trying to come to terms. The moderate members, a little bit like, oh, look over there. Too early. The prevailing view inside President Trump<\/a>s circles and friends of trump is that probably Bernie Sanders<\/a> probably has such problems in florida it takes that off the map and moves the contest to other states. Theyre not sure. They just watched it wonk for President Trump<\/a> four years ago. Theyre not sure. Washington is often wrong about these things. Donald trump cant win the nomination and no way he can be president of the white house and he is president. Looking at the map, sanders is as competitive as the other democrats, as least within the margins. We will continue that conversation looking ahead to super tuesday wondering if its too late to win the race. Clothy fresh for weeks .

Important when we consider the impact of last nights debate. 14 states vote super tuesday but 13 of those 14 are already voting. 13 of them, all except alabama have early voting or absentee voting. The voting in these states, some huge already under way. Thats why democrats are worried, can we stop Bernie Sanders<\/a>. More than 1300 delegates at stake on tuesday in those super tuesday contests. Half come from california, texas, North Carolina<\/a>. What do those states have in common . California, Bernie Sanders<\/a> atop the pack. Texas, Bernie Sanders<\/a> in the top tier, more competitive here, Bernie Sanders<\/a> still poised to get delegates and get delegates and get delegates. North carolina, Bernie Sanders<\/a> top tier competitive just about everywhere, at the top of the pack in the three biggest prizes when it comes to delegates tuesday. Its expensive to run in 14 states at the same time. Michael bloomberg, look at that number, 161 million. That number will keep on going, tom stiers second. Senator sanders, in third place, 15 million so far. We come down the line, joe biden only 115,000 spending in super tuesday states, a very low number compared to others. Hes on the air in two states, gabbard, on the air in three. The three biggest prizes, california, texas and North Carolina<\/a>. Only three candidates are on the air in all three of those. While other candidates argue about healthcare, Mike Bloomberg<\/a> has a record of doing something. As president hell build on obamacare. Tom steyer will beat donald trump on the economy. His people over profits plan makes a living wage a right. Toms plan also makes healthcare a right by adding a public option to obamacare. When candidates say we cant guarantee healthcare for all, make College Affordable<\/a> for all, combat Climate Change<\/a> or a world at peace, remember, america is best when we strive to do big things. The challenge ahead is amazing. One of the things we sometimes forget, because of early voting, because it is now routine, alabama still stuck, wont let people vote early, you can answer why yourself. The voting is under way. You had a big debate last night. Elizabeth warren had it happen in nevada, hat a great debate and thought it would help her in nevada and over 70,000 people voted. Bernie sanders has a sophisticated ballot harvesting in the state which is legal to get their ballots and turn them in. All leading up to super tuesday is already happening right now. Makes it harder for candidates like joe biden for a burst of momentum in South Carolina<\/a>. And Bernie Sanders<\/a> ran in some of these states we saw in super tuesday. He won in about seven of them, places like colorado and utah. We focus on california and texas. Theres other states in there he will have an advantage in because he had a ground game successful for him. He did well in california. He lost by less than 10 points. In texas, he did very well among latino voters. Hes going in with head of steam. We will see what the others can do. The others are trying to keep him in the 20s to keep him from pulling away. Lets assume for the sake of argument joe biden gets the South Carolina<\/a> win, even if he does, 14 states plus samoan and democrats abroad the tuesday contests, hes on the air in one state in North Carolina<\/a> and 115,000 in spending. You dont need it to go, but he doesnt have any money. Thats why these debates do matter still, there is an infusion of cash. Whether that matters in the long run we have to see. Perhaps he hopes some of the other Southern States<\/a> voting on super tuesday could see a South Carolina<\/a> win as an indicator hes a horse to bet on. Hes a known name. Elizabeth warren, Amy Klobuchar<\/a> and Pete Buttigieg<\/a>. 12 for buttigieg and 6 states for Elizabeth Warren<\/a>, they are desperate for a place to win and trying to direct their resources. Where is it. You have to win. Third place is nice and second place and klobuchar hoping to win in her home state of minnesota. You dont win your home state we go from 4 of delegates to more than a third of the delegates in a blur. See you this time tomorrow. Alex is in today. After a quick break. Have a good afternoon.
