Okay, here we are, it is 9 00 p. M. On the west coast, and i am jen psaki, and the midnight shift is the best shift to talk politics here at that time big table to break down everything that happened tonight. Were going to learn more tonight, too, and we do have a lot to talk about, because results from 16 states ask one territory, dont forget that one, just brought us one big step closer to a General Election rematch between President Joe Biden and donald trump, and trump has unsurprisingly won a bunch of states bringing his total degrees to 900, so if we take a look at trump with the numbers, to catch everyone, four indictments, 91 criminal charges, two impeachments and on the democratic side, President Biden has swept every state so far and to jp, and another frontrunner that hit the magic number, those that need to clinch the nomination, but theyre both pretty darn close. Now a major outstanding question coming into tonight we still have, not about trump or biden but about nikki ha
Okay. Here we go. It is midnight here in new york city, 9 00 p. M. Out on the west coast i am jen psaki msnbcs special coverage of Super Tuesday. I have some of my favorite people, as always, the midnight shift is the best shift as i like to say, to talk to here at the big table to break down everything that happened today. We will learn more tonight, too and we do have a lot to talk about because results from 16 states and one territory, dont forget that one, just brought us one big step closer to a rematch between resident joe biden and donald trump. As of this moment, on the republican side, trump has unsurprisingly won a bunch of state so far. Bringing his total number of delegates over 100, not enough to clinch the nomination but it is making it nearly impossible if not impossible for nikki haley to do that. So we just take a second to look at from by the numbers, just to catch everybody up here, that is four indictments, 91 criminal charges, to impeachments. 911 delegates as of t

lawrence? lawrence: the second hour of fox & friends starts right now and, remember, mornings are better with friends. steve: all right a fox news alert, t three hours, 10:00 easn time the supreme court will hear oral arguments on colorado s decision to kick former president donald trump off the state s primary ballot. brian: the high court in unchartered territory legal territory as justices wrestle with an historic election dispute. ainsley: lucas tomlinson joins us with the latest. good morning, steve, ainsley, and brian. the supreme court has never heard a case like this before in its history. oral arguments begin in less than three hours, as steve said, in protest of the former leading g.o.p. candidate. fencing has been erected outside the nation s top court near the u.s. capitol as you can see here. colorado kicked trump off the ballot citing the constitution insurrection clause section 3 of the 14th amendment to be specific, which has never been used in
and that s in large part because ron desantis, who was initially hyped up as the candidate has seen his poll numbers tank. just look at the polling averages since the start of this calendar year. desantis should come with its own slide whistle. he s almost 30 points behind trump and the average of the national poll. even a top official at a pro-desantis superpact recently conceded his campaign has been a bust so far. right now in national polling we are way behind. to be blunt and honest, it s an uphill battle. i don t think it s a winnable battle but clearly donald trump is the runaway front-runner in the first four states which matter tremendously. polls are tighter. we re clearly still down. we have work to do and wood to chop. it does seem like a bad sign when one of your top surrogates has to admit that but it s true at least and a lot of reasons the desantis campaign is doing so poorly. one reason is what some are calling a lack of charisma which seems to be alienat
