Up minnesota after senator after senator Amy Klobuchars endorsement yesterday. Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders winning delegate heavy california, we are still waiting for texas and its 228 delegates. Senator Elizabeth Warren running up a fight in massachusetts but losing her home state and new york mayor Michael Bloomberg scored american samoa. 1,357 delegates spread coasttocoast across 14 states and american territories as well, according to democratic rules the nominee is going to have to come in with 1,991 delegates, a simple plurality will not be enough. Fox news had called california verse entity Bernie Sanders but his campaign is hoping the win by a lot, thats because they want to have a dominant margin and pick up as many delegates as they cam 415 up for grabs in california. The next largest trove comes from texas, 228 delegates there. We still dont have enough data to call it, senator sanders has a minor lead there as far as we can tell right now. It has been a positive night so far for former Vice President joe biden, he won North Carolina, a big general election swing state. He continues a lot of strength through the south, virginia the first state called tonight, 99 delegates there that was called for biden. Senator sanders getting a needed win in colorado, 67 delegates there. 14 states in their territories, we have Team Coverage for you. Bear is sticking around after hours of coverage for oneofakind analysis a key state goes into the sanders column. Peter doocy at sanders headquarters in vermont and chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt, quite a rousing speech tonight. We heard from a very fired up former Vice President joe biden just a short time ago. The man and his campaign reenergized by the results tonight, were still waiting for texas but all along through the evening, his Campaign Staff have been telling us they were optimistic about what was going to happen in texas. They have not won obviously in california as you mentioned but its all about the percentages here and clearly joe biden is heading for a far higher percentage of delegates in california that he would have expected just last week. In fact, he addressed that at the very start of his remarks tonight, mocking those who declared his campaign on life support this time last week listen here. Just a few days ago, the press and pundits had declared to the campaign dead then came South Carolina, they had something to say about it we are told when it got the super tuesday it would be over, it may be over for the other g guy tell that to the folks in virginia, North Carolina, alabama, tennessee, oklahoma, arkansas, minnesota a clearly newly confident joe biden painting himself as the only man who can defeat President Trump in the election come november and without mentioning him at any point by name, taking a clear shot at senator Bernie Sanders, listen again. We want a nominee who will beat donald trump, but also keep nancy pelosi the speaker of the house. Win back the United States senate. You want to nominee whos a democrat. Bernie sanders and his supporters will not be looking to senator Elizabeth Warren, they are concerned that the progressive vote is being split by sanders and warren, they will no doubt be some pressure on senator warren to withdraw from the race. Interesting to watch over the next 24 hours the Michael Bloomberg campaign. Clearly this was a disastrous night for Mike Bloomberg and its interesting to note that just a few days ago, we were talking about how crowded the center lane was in this fight for the president ial nomination. Clearly Mike Bloomberg was driving the most expensive vehicle in that center lane, a maserati if you like to joe bidens ford focus but it looks tonight as if the wheels may have come off mayor mikes maserati leasing that center lane pretty much clear for joe biden to hit full speed. Shannon i like the car analogy, thank you so much. Senator Bernie Sanders hoping for a big night tonight, correspondent peter doocy is at the Campaign Headquarters in vermont where he gave a rousing speech tonight, good evening. In that rousing speech, Bernie Sanders said he is still confident he can win the nomination but he thinks he had a part tonight in winnowing the field because he is now casting this is a two man race detailing policy differences with joe biden without ever saying the words joe biden. One of us in this race led the opposition to the war in iraq, youre looking at him. [cheers and applause] another candidate voted for the war in iraq. [boos] he also hit biden for voting in favor of nafta and he accused biden for pushing for Social Security cuts as a senator, but nobody from the biden team was here to defend the former vp so sanders had the floor. Some in the crowd waited almost five hours from the time they arrived to the time sanders took the stage and they really went wild when he rattled off the pillars of his platform. It is a movement that says we will bring major reforms in education, making sure all of our kids can go to College Without coming out in debt. Sanders stressed he does not consider this a campaign, he thinks he is leading a movement and Something Interesting he and his wife jane both pointed out this is the anniversary of Bernie Sanders winning his first election as the mayor of burlington right next door to essex junction, thats what i wanted to be in the burlington area tonight. Shannon peter doocy with the Bernie Sanders folks, heres where we are right now. Vice President Joe Biden doing well with a string of victories across the south and perhaps watching sanders advantage in california, the race is tied in texas. Older voters breaking for biden. According to fox news analysis, biden doing well as expected with africanamericans, sanders shows strength with Younger Voters and hispanic voters as well, chief political anchor bret baier has been in the chair for hours stayed a little bit longer to be with us live, great to be with us. What do you make of the reaction, we knew the first half would be positive for the biden camp and you move west and it favors sanders. Bret we didnt know what was going to be that positive, there were real surprises and still are. The fact that it is not called yet in maine, the fact that joe biden is leading slightly there is quite something. The fact that he won massachusetts and Elizabeth Warren came in third, that was a shock. The fact that he won minnesota Bernie Sanders was expected to do well there. Those are surprises. The Southern States we kind of knew they were going to go joe bidens way. Colorado and california, those are big sanders wins, the big question is texas. I think we can put up that texas graph, i think its 57 . Its essentially tied. That is a huge delegate hall, however that comes down, biden 29. 8. Bloomberg making the cut for the 15 threshold. Biden over performed, sanders maybe pulls it out delegate wise towards the end of the night. Shannon one of the key states North Carolina which will be big in the general election, we have all the different percentages. 38 the Largest Group decided in the last few days and we talked about how everything coalesced at the right time for joe biden when it comes to these voters. They broke his way, you have three candidates drop out who are all contenders, two of them endorsing him it sounds like he is peaking at the right moment at least when it comes to super tuesday. Bret this isnt what happened for republicans in 2016, they didnt get out of the way. These candidates did before super tuesday and it made a big difference in some of these states. The question now is what happens to Michael Bloomberg . What happens to Elizabeth Warren . Does it become a mano a mano biden and sanders in the race takes a big turn. I think you are going to see a real battle in these next few weeks, it lines up for biden as you head to florida and georgia but some northern states are packed towards the back of the calendar as you get closer to milwaukee. Shannon what do you think about bloomberg and warren, just days ago she was asked if nobody has the majority that they need are you going to stay in . He she said she will go to the convention bloomberg said you make deals, he doesnt sound like he is going anywhere, hes good to pick up some delegates tonight. His Campaign Says we reassess what we are doing, do you think they hang on longer or go the distance . Bret i think its really hard for Elizabeth Warren to make the case that i should go to milwaukee i came in third in my home state. I did not qualify for several other states. I think Mike Bloomberg maybe has a case that says im going to run against donald trump, im going to help the party with money, im going to be the failsafe in case biden implodes but there will be pressure for Mike Bloomberg to get out of the race to make sure that what he says doesnt happen and that is Bernie Sanders as the nominee. Its going to be fascinating and i think you see how much this changed in three days, it turned on its head. We have never seen 72 hours that changed the political race like this. Shannon if it gets down to biden and bernie fighting this out, there was a headline Bernie Sanders cant count on new voters, talked about how much is relying on them a new Political Science study said by nominating sanders, democrats would be trading some of the most reliable voters for some of its least as we saw tonight, older voters show up in better numbers and they are more comfortable in large part with biden. That is going to be part of what the party has to juggle, do you go with someone who has 13,000 people showing up and has all of this passion and young people behind them versus somebody who is more moderate, more steady, less exciting, less passion, they have a decision to make. Bret young voters are not historically reliable when it comes to a building block. Older voters are. Africanamericans lining up behind joe biden, the black community really enforced in those Southern States, and alabama, and tennessee if Bernie Sanders cant make headway with those communities significantly, its tough to say to the Democratic Party im the guy who can unite the party against donald trump because it takes that group to win. Shannon especially when you said democrats are nervous of the down pallet effect dont you so exciting. Good thing we do this for a living. Bret we are political nerds. Shannon we embrace it. Thank you for staying late with us. A senator sanders looking for a Strong Performance in colorado but he got one theres a little bit of a cliffhanger, lets get out to explain in denver. We are watching the results come in from the colorado secretary of states office, we get a really good idea of how all of the candidates are faring state wide but its the party that determines the allocation of delegates and the colorado Democratic Party has decided it will not begin that process until tomorrow morning. They are 67 delegates available. 23 will come from a statewide vote, 44 are determined by Congressional Districts, candidates as of right now there are four who meet the viability and as we rate the Congressional District results, sanders is winning colorado by a good clip but unless theres some sort of major change overnight, they will all share in a victory. I think it goes to show how much weve seen in colorado. This was a mail in ballots primary, hundreds of thousands of people waited to draw up their ballots yesterday, since the last president ial nominating contest in colorado, few things have changed. Its no longer a caucus state but a primary. 17yearolds will be 18 by november 3rd were allowed to vote. In terms of candidate campaign investment, bloomberg spent the most and opened an office in every Congressional District, the others not so much. Sanders did have a huge volunteer effort in colorado and warren held a rally here, biden on television here either. I wish i could tell you more in terms of delegate allocation but we really have to wait until tomorrow, that is not going to start until 10 00 a. M. Mountain time, noon eastern. Shannon we will check back in today or tomorrow. If super tuesday coverage continuous plus the gloves are off, the accusations of the dnc rendering the primary reaching a boiling point spirit the chairwoman of the National CommitteeRonna Mcdaniel is in the middle she joins us next. 5g will change business in america.

Shannon other big races are this fall especially as control of the senate hangs in the balance, cunningham becoming the democrats choice to take on republican senator thom tillis, democrats need to win four seats. They have to hold democratic senator at doug jones seat, President Trumps former attorney general Jeff Sessions in a tough fight in a g. O. P. Primary in alabama, he will face a runoff on march 31st with tommy tourville, the former auburn football coach. Democrats worrying a sanders nomination will hurd down ballot races. The nights nominating contests come at a tense moment for the Democratic Party, senator Bernie Sanders is seeking to change the rules of the july convention in milwaukee and the democratic National Committee accused of ripping the process against a 78yearold democratic socialist. The next guest is at the senator of the dispute, lets bring in the chairwoman of the republican National Committee. I want to play this and give you a chance to respond. They dont have a process, they are canceling primaries, they have a winnertakeall. They dont have the kind of democracy that we see on the democratic side. For people to use russian talking points to so division among americans, that is stupid. Go to. Its never fun to heavier teenagers come home from school and say hey mom youre training on social media because some woman said you should go to heck i think she was out of line with her response. We all recognize that the democrats did put their thumb on the scale for Hillary Clinton because of donna, the book that she wrote to expose that this isnt russian talking points, its something the New York Times reported recently as i interviewed 93 superdelegates, even if Bernie Sanders had the popular vote going into the convention they would not support him. Youve seen democrats change their debate process to put bloomberg on the stage and they made a concerted effort by the establishment democrats to go after Bernie Sanders and you know whos saying at the most . Bernie sanders. I felt in my lane saying this is happening, its something we can discuss and i think her response was a little out of line and disproportionate to my earlier today. Shannon lets talk about some results, so far it has been a betterthanexpected night for former Vice President joe biden who a lot of folks felt was on the ropes coming out of iowa and New Hampshire and we thought he would have a convincing win in South Carolina where he overwhelmed e
