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.

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.

speaker. at home we re watching a major test of former president trump s influence over the republican party. in the five states where voters are headed to the polls today to vote in primary elections, all eyes will be on the slate of candidates who the former president endorsed and have embraced the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen. will that message resonate with republican primary voters? today will also be a big test for these three house republicans who were among the ten who voted to impeach the former president. will they survive after taking a critical stand? one of today s biggest tests will happen in kansas where abortion rights are on the ballot for the first time since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. we ll have the latest into the massive implications of that vote. let s get right into it with nbc s steve kornacki at the big board. steve, what are you looking for this morning? a couple things, jose, you touched on. i think this referendum in
