Fastmoving developments with support. Joe biden had a great night but the campaigns. Michael bloomberg was viable in lets begin in california with jessica dean who joins us from some of these places. Los angeles. What a comeback and if we moved forward with him reporter what a comeback. Still in the race, that is going really an unprecedented comeback to affect joe biden in certain places, in florida, in certain for former Vice President joe biden, poppy and jim. States that we are about to move into, guys. His campaign hoping that they so for the Biden Campaign, this can take that momentum out of is welcome news. Bloomberg may very well have South Carolina and translate it into big victories on super changed the outcome in colorado tuesday. And california in those super they were hoping that they could tuesday races. Focus on specific congressional ryan nobles, hes with the sanders camp in burlington, districts within those super vermont. This is not lets be frank, tuesday states, roll out a bunch its not good news for the of endorsements which we saw them do and they really sanders camp. Bloomberg influential, but he accumulated and then had the also has a lot of financial incredible endorsements resources. Altogether with amy klobuchar, reporter yeah. No doubt about that, jim. But i do think there are two Pete Buttigieg and beto orourke ways to look at this from the just one day before super tuesday. They were hoping that all of Sanders Campaigns perspective. That would move the needle. Certainly theres a strategic but of course you dont know until it actually happens. Disadvantage for Bernie Sanders well, if you look at the results just because of the way that bloomberg ate into the biden from last night, you see that base in many of these states certainly it moved the needle, coming down the calendar as that there is quite something jessica pointed out. Going on for joe biden. But theres also maybe an he was winning across the south. Advantage to the Sanders Campaign, at least in terms of a he won in massachusetts, narrative, because the fact that Elizabeth Warrens home state, bloomberg has fully embraced joe he won in texas. Biden is something that the the Biden Campaign thrilled this Sanders Campaign can use as more morning. Of their evidence that joe biden you guys, theyre already looking ahead to what comes isnt necessarily the candidate next. They have placed a 1. 5 million that the democratic progressive wing at least is looking for. Ad buy in states coming up, you know, they have hammered michigan, missouri, mississippi. Michael bloombergs role in this thats a number, 1. 5 million, race from the very beginning, that they werent throwing his uneven record with the around last week. You mentioned he didnt put Democratic Party and the fact that he was trying to buy an money in some of these states election. So the fact that hes now going and didnt campaign in them, so to flood millions of dollars really remarkable for joe biden into the Biden Campaign, that is this morning. This is well beyond really the best expectations we were something that can continue the asking people about this in the narrative that the sanders 24 hours before, what would be campaign has been railing considered a victory for him and against, the influence of money this is beyond those in politics is a real problem. Expectations. Even as late as last night jessica dean, thank you very much. Lets go to the sanders camp during his speech here in now with ryan nobles in burlington, Bernie Sanders hammered the fact that so many burlington, vermont. I wonder if in Public Comments billionaires had donated to the hes putting a good spin on it Biden Campaign. And he did have big wins likely this just allows them to hammer in california but is there that point even more. Disappointment in the sanders ryan nobles, good to have you camp today . Reporter im sure there is, there. Jessica dean with the biden jim. Camp. They expected super tuesday to john king is with us now from be a day that Bernie Sanders was washington. Going to take a commanding john, i just want to read control of the democratic bloombergs very quick fulsome primary and that certainly didnt happen. Endorsement you might say of joe even though things didnt turn biden as he leaves. Out like they plan, they still ive always believed that defeating donald trump starts believe Bernie Sanders has a with uniting behind the very real shot at winning the candidate with the best shot to do it. Democratic nomination. After yesterdays vote it is you can actually see them already starting to pivot to clear that that candidate is my this headtohead matchup with friend and the great american, joe biden. They released a series of ads in joe biden. The next round of states. That has been a question throughout here, has it not . You see them doing two things. Can the Democratic Party get first, calling out joe biden for behind a candidate quickly in a his record, specifically on united way and one that has the social security, and then best chance of beating trump in theyre releasing an ad this morning that shows Bernie Sanders embracing barack obama. November. Based on what you know, is its an ad filled with obama biden does biden have the saying nice things about bernie goods . Well, this is certainly a sanders. This is something that weve seen them do for the first time. Giant, giant, giant benefit. Let me read you one other line i asked Bernie Sanders about his from Michael Bloombergs relationship with barack obama statement right there. Just before the nevada caucuses i will not walk away from the and he said that he talks to most important political fight obama on a fairly regular basis, of my life. Why is that important . But he said that theyre not Michael Bloomberg has built up a necessarily close friends. National staff. Friends, but not close friends. Michael bloomberg has built up a i think this shows that theyre national network. Trying to expand that coalition he has always said that he would hand it over to the democratic and bring some of these wayward nominee if that nominee is not democrats concerned about a him. He is now pledging that support sanders presidency. To joe biden. Lets go back fewer than 100 its an interesting move, especially at this stage of the hours ago. Race. Ryan nobles, thanks for the joe biden had no wins, very reporting from burlington, little money and no path to the vermont. Lets talk about all of what happened overnight. Nomination. Fast forward, he has ten wins as cnn political commentators, we speak right now. He may get 11 if maine goes his democratic strategist are with us. Good morning, ladies. Good morning. Way. He was raising a boatload of so what happened to biden . Money anyway. Where did this come from, now he has Michael Bloombergs support and hes looking at a hillary . It is kind of the greatest map where he has a oneonone political comeback in recent race plus Elizabeth Warren whos history. You know, i think of it as the also making decisions this morning against Bernie Sanders. Democratic establishment was the Sanders Campaign, ryan is afraid of the bernie bros, but right, they will run against the voters arent. Biden and his billionaire and i think they sent that friends. But look at the california message very loud and clear. Results. Were still counting in california. Let the voters vote. Sanders is likely to win california. But add up biden, add up look at the coalition that backed biden here, particularly bloomberg, you have a different africanamerican support, but race. You have a different race. This fundamentally changes the not limited there. Race and gives democrats what older voters, strong preference for him. They think they need. White suburbanites. Before Bernie Sanders can get a head of steam, have a smaller that begins to sound like the race, a twoman race. Elements of a coalition thats just think about this sentence. Worked for democrats in the it is the morning after super elections that they have won in tuesday. 24 or 48 hours ago, did you november. And starting to sound quite a bit like the obama coalition. Think we would wake up wednesday but i also just want to morning and say joe biden has reinforce the fact that the most wins and the most africanamerican voters are the delegates and the most momentum . Ones who constantly signal for others which direction to go. He does. No. And its not surprising that he a few days ago folks were as completely swept the south coming out of South Carolina. Mark twain said, reports of his what is interesting to me is death greatly exaggerated. Maybe thats why tom friedman that black voters absolutely mattered. And what were seeing with called it super wednesday, not Bernie Sanders is that its really about the depth of the relationships beyond the super tuesday. Andrew yang, who was running rhetoric, because the truth is, until a few weeks ago says this. Is that Elizabeth Warren and others in this field have very Mike Bloomberg will have a lot to do with it if democrats detailed plans that are oriented defeat trump in the fall. His resources and Data Analytics around black voters, what they are second to none. Can do to bridge gaps, but biden kudos to him for his commit had the depth of relationships, meant to the country and making almost 50 years of a career that he amassed across the country. This decision. He was selffunding this thing so he cant just dump all his what i heard when i was in South Carolina last week is that black money into the bloomberg people know biden, black voters campaign. Staff can go there, i guess. Knew biden before there ever was data and analytics they can a barack and thats paying off share, i guess. What can biden actually get from for him now. Our reporting just a few bloomberg . Campaign finance lawyers can minutes ago is that elizabeth explain it better than i. Warren is reassessing, that she heres where bloomberg has to be careful in the coming days. Is in talks with her team about you know the Trump Campaign will be watching this. The best path forward. You know the Sanders Campaign no question biden got a boost will make a huge stink about this in the democratic primaries. From buttigieg and klobuchar he has to form a super pac or coming for him. Outside organization and then what is warren going to do . Help the Biden Campaign. You know, my view is he cannot he as an individual Elizabeth Warren is actually, i citizen can only give so much think, the best economic communicator we have in the money to the Biden Campaign. Party right now. But weve seen super pacs you know, the way i think about supporting other candidates. There was a super pac supporting joe biden. This is Elizabeth Warren says it one supporting Elizabeth Warren. Pete buttigieg had a super pac. Best. Joe biden feels it the best and Michael Bloomberg has plenty of smart lawyers around and plenty Bernie Sanders rants the best. Of smart operatives who understand how this works. Theres this kind of there he has to step back and either are really three different through he cant do it through the Democratic National communicators around the central issue for voters. Committee now because theres still an ongoing primary. And so i dont know what shes if he wants to help joe biden going to do. Tomorrow or next week, he needs i think it is enormously to form a new organization and difficult for her to amass the then use that organization to delegates she needs to get right give money to joe biden. It can be done, takes some now to win. Paperwork, but it can be done i dont think its fair to call her a spoiler. And it can be done pretty i think shes in this for the quickly. John king, thanks very much. Right reasons. I think shes got thoughtful ideas. But i do think if shes cristina alesci, youve heard realistic, shes going to look john king there. At the data. I dont want to get ahead of same with bloomberg. Theyre both datadriven people, things. But hes a man with a plan, right . Does the Bloomberg Campaign have theyre not this for shes not doing this for ego. A plan Going Forward for how as she said, she agrees with theyre going to help Joe Biden Bernie on the issues but thought win . Shed make a better president. Reporter they definitely listen, bloomberg in have a plan in place for sure. Particular put so much resources theyre not making the full and hope on super tuesday in details public as of this moment. But part of that plan is going to be the ground game. Particular. I want to ask about signals we look, i was talking to bloomberg got from this for the general election. You look at turnout. Advisers as recently as just 24 after iowa, there was concern hours ago who were telling me the iowa turnout wasnt great biden does not have a strong for democratic voters. Since then youve seen a change. Ground game in important states look at a few states yesterday. And thats where they can help virginia, texas, tennessee, all him. Now, were going to have to find out how it all works in terms of seeing big jumps in democratic whether its viable from a voter turnout compared to 2016. Campaign finance standpoint, but im sure the Bloomberg Team will can democrats look to that as a figure that out. Hopeful sign about voter enthusiasm . At the end of the day, michael well, i hope so. Bloomberg thought he would do and ive been one of the people much better in places where they whos talked a lot about spent a heavy amount in turnout, turnout. I admit that i was wrong because advertising, in oklahoma and arkansas and tennessee, and it i thought the Bernie SandersGrassroots Energy is what was just didnt pan out for him. Going to turn folks out. So the decision for michael the truth is in those States Bloomberg to back out of this is where we saw the bump in not entirely surprising. Turnout, they actually went for joe biden. Interesting. Its not entirely surprising what we know to be true, though, is the only way to get that he backed joe biden. You know, Michael Bloombergs rid of donald trump is if entire reason for jumping into democrats come out en masse and this is a really positive sign this race is because was about whats to come in november. What happened to young because joe was weak and now voters . Well, young voters are hes way stronger. Historically the least reliable hes got the momentum and this voters in the party. Is a gamechanger for joe biden. You know, there have been bumps its really going to boost his of young voters turning out like for obama in 2008. Campaign. Jim . Cristina alesci, thanks very they didnt as much turn out for him in 2012 as we all remember, much. Quick break, well be right back. Look, this isnt my first rodeo. Though. So i think that no president ial candidate wants to give up on young voters, right . It would be crazy for joe biden to see to cede the young vote to Bernie Sanders, you have toin and let me tell you something, i wouldnt be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage sp inspire the next generation. I think joe biden can pull that of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home. Off. I think his Vice President ial pick will be very important for young voters. And so i think that for this its just a loan designed for older homeowners, and, next stage, its going to have to be for biden to succeed, hes its helped over a million americans. Going to have to start to think about the Sanders Coalition and a reverse Mortgage Loan isnt some kind of trick to take your home. How he expands his base. Thats not something sanders does a lot, but biden will do its a loan, like any other. It, i think. Obama has been sort of like the z league of this race big difference is how you pay it back. Because he turns up in find out how reverse mortgages really work with aags free, everybodys campaign ad as if noobligation reverse mortgage guide. They were best friends. Anybody at home may remember eliminate monthly mortgage payments, pay bills, medical costs, and more. That movie or not. But the question, the talk about call now and get your free info kit. Super tuesday is that obama is waiting for his moment to have the most influence but also wait other mortgages are paid each month, but with a reverse mortgage, until the voters have decided. Does that change post super you can pay whatever you can, when it works for you, or, you can wait, tuesday with biden locked in a race with sanders, that obama might come out earlier and say, and pay it off in one lump sum when you leave your home. Listen, biden is the man . It seems to me the elegant discover the option thats best for you. Thing to do would be to hold call today and find out more in aags free, off, let the voters decide, and then the most popular democrat noobligation reverse Mortgage Loan guide. In the land can jump in and support the person who should be access taxfree cash and stay in the home you love. The next president. That seems to me to make a lot youve probably been investing in your home for years. Of sense. It is really interesting, making monthly mortgage payments. Though, that for so long, doing the right thing. Especially Bernie Sanders has been a bit of a finger pointing and its become your familys heart and soul. Well, that investment can give you taxfree cash just when you need it. At obama about what was missed in the obama administration, what could go further and wanting to really derail some of learn how homeowners are strategically using the policies of obama and now a reverse Mortgage Loan to cover expenses, pay for healthcare, suddenly wants to hug obama and say, look, were really tight. Preserve your portfolio, and so much more. Look, reverse mortgages arent for everyone but i think and the argument is lets build on what weve got, lets ive been round long enough to know whats what. Not chase windmills on ambitious im proud to be a part of aag, i trust em, ideas. The thinking in obamaland actually is that an endorsement now could back fire and that it i think you can too. Would not help joe biden, it trust aag for the best reverse mortgage solutions. Would end up tagging obama as part of the socalled establishment that sanders is railing against. So you can. And so i do think he wants to retire better. Wait and see. Hilary rosen, aisha, thanks to both of you so much. Weve got a lot of news coming tmobile has the first and only, in. This just in, in fact.

Folks, this race is moving and changing quickly. Our breaking news, Michael Bloomberg has dropped out of the race for president and very dive in. Polo deep blue quickly endorsed the former vice the new mens fragrance ralph lauren president , joe biden. Were getting more news also b11 this hour on where elizabeth is that . Steve harvey . Give me b11 warrens mind frame is, what her camp is discussing right now. Isnt bingo just an ok use of your hosting abilities . Our m. J. Lee is in cambridge, its like getting a Samsung Galaxy s20 5g, massachusetts, following Elizabeth Warrens campaign. What do you know . And not getting it with at t. Reporter well, poppy, what americas best network. Bingo her team has signalled this no, you cant have bingo. Morning is that Elizabeth Warren i just called out two numbers. You do this every week is meeting with advisers today to talk through what her path get the most from your revolutionary Samsung Galaxy s20 5g. Forward might be and cnn actually just obtained an email switch now and get one free from at t. That went out from elizabeth building 5g on americas best network. Warrens Campaign Manager, roger lau, to all staff and i just want to read parts of that email because it is very telling. He first thanks all of the Campaign Staff for their hard work but then has some very blunt words about what they saw happen last night. He writes last night we fell the business of road trips. Short of viability goals and. Adventure. Projections and we are. And reconnecting. Disappointed in the results. Modernized comfort inns and suites have been refreshed he notes that obviously more results are coming in. Because our business is you. This is a race that has been pretty volatile. Get the lowest price guaranteed on all Choice Hotels but again stresses that when you book direct at choicehotels. Com. Obviously they are disappointed. He also goes on to say that Elizabeth Warren is going to take time right now to think through the right way to continue this fight. I should note that roger is somebody who has worked with the senator a long time and he says in this email that this decision is in her hands and its important that she has the time and space to consider what comes next. So obviously this is a very sober email from the Campaign Manager for Elizabeth Warren the day after a very disappointing super tuesday. Here in massachusetts, of course, she was handed one of her worst pieces of news last night. She didnt come in first, she didnt come in second, she came in third place behind joe biden and Bernie Sanders, again in her home state. So this is a very critical moment for the Elizabeth Warren campaign. Remember, she got into this race in 2018, the very last day of the year on new years eve, actually right here in cambridge. At this point it is very clear that she has some very Big Decisions to make and we are expecting to hear more from the campaign on what those decisions might be, jim and poppy. M. J. , you covered this campaign for some time. There is the assumption and anything this race has made clear is that we should dump all assumptions about candidates outcomes, et cetera, but theres an assumption that warren and sanders overlap, therefore, if breaking news just in to she does leave, shed be more likely to throw her support cnn. Lets go right to business and behind sanders rather than joe biden. Is that necessarily true . Politics correspondent christina reporter look, heres the thing, we have gotten no real alessee. Another candidate is out of the indication in any direction that race. Reporter thats right. She might be making on an Michael Bloomberg announcing to staff that he is leaving the campaign. Endorsement at all or that she he sends an email to the staff might be endorsing joe biden or saying three months ago i entered the race for president Bernie Sanders. I wouldnt presume to know what to defeat donald trump. The campaign is thinking right today im leaving the race for the same reason, to defeat now as far as that is concerned. Donald trump because its clear but you make a really important to me that staying in would make achieving that goal more point about where warren supporters might go if she is no difficult. Im a believer in using data to longer in the race. I think we have been pretty good inform decisions. After yesterdays results, the about pointing out throughout this race that it just doesnt delegate math has become work to talk about voters as virtually impossible and a though they belong in the strict viable path to nomination no lanes, ideological lanes. Longer exists. Not entirely surprising decision plenty of Elizabeth Warren by the former mayor of new York Campaign events ive been to over the last year, a lot of them were making the decision city. Last night was absolutely terrible for him. Between supporting elizabeth although they were putting on a warren and Pete Buttigieg or Elizabeth Warren and amy very strong front until the very klobuchar. Plenty of them also liked joe end and telling me and other biden. So this idea that all of reporters that they were in this past super tuesday no matter warrens supporters would what the results of super immediately shift their support tuesday, clearly here they do to Bernie Sanders if she were to not see a path forward. Leave, that is just simply not but hes also in a separate true. Listen, weve heard this release endorsing joe biden. About africanamerican voters, so we are going to have to see latino voters. The idea that voters somehow fit exactly what that means and how into baskets and move en masse, much money Michael Bloomberg will put behind joe biden. Again, we shouldnt exaggerate that. Can we just talk about that m. J. , thank you for the reporting. Keep us posted. Endorsement a moment because a meantime the number of biden surrogate earlier on our coronavirus cases here in new program just said, tim ryan, york has jumped to six. Look what would have happened to this as people wonder how exactly they can be tested and joe biden last night if can they be tested at any doctor bloomberg had not been in this race. For the deadly virus. More on that, next. What is he saying about why he heumatthritis. Ople is backing biden now . Reporter well, its very clear to him that joe biden because there are options. Like an unjection™. Obviously had a very strong night and the fact that he did xeljanz xr, a oncedaily pill for adults with moderate really undercut Michael Bloombergs argument for being to severe ra for whom methotrexate in this race. Remember Michael Bloomberg said did not work well enough. When he got in that joe biden xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling was weak, he was having trouble in debates, he was having and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. Trouble fundraising. All of that has turned around in xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; the last week or so since South Carolina. And up until a few days ago, his dont start xeljanz if you have an infection. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra advisers were basically downplaying joe bidens momentum can increase risk of death. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, and saying, listen, South Carolina is just one state. Cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. His operation is very weak. And now that can all change. As have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. If Michael Bloomberg gets behind tell your doctor if youve been somewhere joe biden in a big way, that can really change the dynamic and fungal infections are common, or if youve had tb, hepatitis b or c, give Bernie Sanders a huge or are prone to infections. Competitor in that race because Michael Bloomberg has a field needles. Fine for some. Operation in important states. But for you, one pill a day that could be passed over and handed to joe biden in a way may provide symptom relief. Ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. That could really change the dynamics of the race, guys. An unjection™. Yeah, particularly you look at colorado and california, bloomberg took in a lot of voters there, might have changed the race had he not been in yesterday in terms of who might have won. Hillary, aisha. First of all, bidens progress in winning but also candidates getting out very quickly, bloomberg just the latest but klobuchar, buttigieg getting out and quickly endorsing. And these are candidates whose supporters are most likely going to joe biden. Thats a good point. Whereas with Elizabeth Warren, those voters are going to split. Theyre not necessarily biden voters, theyre not necessarily sanders voters, but the Bloomberg Campaign knows a lot about their voters, more than any other campaign. They spent more than any other Campaign Polling their voters in many respects so they know that theyre biden voters. They know this is their best path. Yeah, the money, though, like the ads. Thats what i was going to ask. Look at the money, how much money he spent so far. Thats ten times what sanders spent. Half a billion dollars. The money matters, but i think the creative of those ads was also quite good. So you put those resources behind a joe biden, that completely changes the narrative on the ground about him in this campaign. Thats an interesting point because clyburn said that biden needs to retool his campaign. Bidens answer was its about addition, not subtraction. Will he bring on the best of the best on bloombergs team to do this . Fair point, but remember Michael Bloomberg cant just dump all this money into the Biden Campaign. He cant dump all of his staff into the campaign. Ftc rules dont allow a single individual to give more than 5,400 a campaign cycle. So what he will have to do is take what is currently his independent Political Action committee and turn his campaign into that and essentially have essentially a separate campaign to defeat donald trump in support of joe biden. Are there limits on just so folks at home know, are there limits on personal contributions to a Political Action committee . There wont be limits on what he can do because hell have a super pac. The super pac is an unlimited amount of money you can spend. What you cannot do is cant coordinate with the official campaign. And so there have been many things over the years where people have sort of signalled what the important issues are. Essentially this will be a separate and independent operation that he will have to engage in. And there have been some blurring of those lines if you look at contributions that Sheldon Adelman sent to the Trump Campaign. Weve got david chalian, cnn political director, on the line as well. David, fastmoving shakeup in the democratic race here and fastmoving rallying behind joe biden. Yes, theres no doubt about that, jim. And this piece is really consequential, bloomberg getting out and instantly endorsing joe biden exactly because of what hillary was talking about, because of his money. Joe biden is going to start raising money at such a clip he couldnt imagine because of his success in the last four days. But he has not had a huge outside group money machine that has spent at the levels that Michael Bloomberg could spending, nobody has. So that will be extraordinarily important to his effort Going Forward. And in fact i will say one of Michael Bloombergs calling cards to democrats when he got into this race was whether or just a few minutes ago, new not im the nominee, i am going yorks governor, andrew cuomo, to keep staff and spend all the way through november because i announced there are now six confirmed cases of coronavirus in new york state. Believe that the number one goal joining us now, cnns erica here is to defeat donald trump. So that was part as a former republican, that was part of his way to endear himself to hill and jen writtbrynn gingras. Democrats, that it wasnt just erica, tell us more what we know an egodriven quest. Because you have these cases and it appears many of them are tied and now all indications in this to this one person, this email and this announcement that 50yearold man, who was also confirmed in recent days. Is precisely what he plans to do thats right. So the governor as you pointed is to keep spending and have a out just moments ago confirmed campaign all through november, which could really change the there are now six cases here in new york state. Equation. As you know, the Trump Campaign so that brings the number up by four. Lets get a refresher. As you pointed out, there was a is overwhelmingly outraising the man in his 50s who lives in Westchester County just outside of new york city, hes a lawyer, democrats, doesnt have republican competition for the works in the city. He of course had already been nomination and has been building a massive machine. Confirmed. We knew about him. Should joe biden be the nominee, there was also a Health Care Worker who had traveled to iran. Obviously having Michael Bloombergs full force behind she tested positive. Him financially could be very, its important to point out her husband has tested negative. Very consequential. However, these new cases are and what it could mean down tied to that man who tested ballot. Look at what he did in virginia on guns, et cetera. Positive who had an underlying he makes it clear, david, in the respiratory condition. Statement that hes going to keep spending for issues that he hes in the hospital. We now know that his wife, cares about to help democrats. 20yearold son, 14yearold daughter and the neighbor who he was very dismissive yesterday drove this man to the hospital of Elizabeth Warren, quipping have all tested positive. They have not been sent to the that he didnt even know she is hospital. They are actually home. Still in this race. They are being quarantined. Well, she is still in this race but shes reassessing this we also learned from the morning, david. Governor that there were a yes. Number of tests that have been when you come in third in your done across the state. The governor said the more tests home state, poppy, right, it you do, the more chances for a would be hard not to hard not positive outcome. He noted that a number of those to reassess where you are in tests in the buffalo area had come back negative, including this race. And, again, Michael Bloomberg, for families who had recently traveled to italy and was just to go back to him for a stressing that you need to focus moment, he told don lemon on on the facts and not get ahead monday when we interviewed of whats happening here. When don interviewed him for the he doesnt want to cause any presuper tuesday show he said im a very data driven guy. Undue anxiety.

What is the latest youre hearing on the search for survivors . Reporter the scene here has just gotten even more active in the course of the last hour. Search and rescue teams went overnight door to door here in Putnam County and recovered no bodies. But as the sun came up this morning, they were back out. We actually were on a search and rescue mission earlier this morning. They went to an apartment complex, but there was really just nothing left there, jim. I went to a kids playground or what looked like a kids playground and it looked like a bomb went off. I mentioned search and rescue teams going door to door. This house was on its foundation probably about 20 yards to the left, entirely moved off its foundation. Youre looking right here at someones bedroom, potentially someones bathroom here. And this is just what the scene looks like back block after block after block.

I was tired and stuff so i didnt really know like what to do. Reporter back here theyre still picking up limbs. Crews are working really hard. You mentioned 77 unaccounted for. That went down to 30 and they have dropped that lower to 22. The fear of course is that those bodies wont be found and that number of deaths will rise. Poppy, jim. Nick, we appreciate your reporting. Thank you. Thats a big difference, unaccounted for in the 20s, not the 70s as we had thought. Thank you, nick. Thanks to all of you. Well see you back here tomorrow morning. Im poppy harlow.
