Those results are not in yet but some of them are so lets tell you what we have right now early results show that former Vice President joe biden has won the state of North Carolina if you move up just a little the next state in blue is virginia bernie. Lets say joe biden has also won the state of virginia Bernie Sanders as one has helm state vermont so this is not a winner take all the delegate count is awarded proportionally right so some of that we dont know yet but we do know as we said that joe biden has taken the lead in the delegate count 116 coming into the night Bernie Sanders had led the 1st had not won all 4 contests but as a result of the 1st 4 contests in the 1st 4 states he had been leading the delegate count but as you can see Vice President joe biden has taken over so hes at 116 senator Bernie Sanders at 80 and Elizabeth Warren senator from massachusetts as is at 8 there 1991 is the number needed to get the nomination approximately a 3rd of the number that is needed is actually up for grabs tonight in super tuesday which is 14 states and also an american territory so we are getting initial reaction right now from alabama as well joe biden is projected to win in alabama there are 52 delegates up for grabs there and so he will wind up. Portion of that 52 that we just mentioned once we have any more specifics on that we will let you know in the meantime nikica back over to terry all right so rochelle thank you for that well were waiting results from massachusetts the home state of democratic president ial hopeful Elizabeth Warren this is what she told her supporters just a few minutes ago prediction has been a terrible mission and im wondering has got here wrong over and over so. Thank you guys like likes it or mr which im not sure we. Can ask of those that will make ground. Well we deployed teams right across key battleground states for super tuesday our White House Correspondent kimberly how that is in the u. S. Capitol john hendren is at a polling station in charlotte thats North Carolina kristen salumi is in West Palm Beach in florida Mike Bloomberg event there and alan fischer will be joining us from a Democratic Watch Party in austin and robin owens is coming all the way from the west coast in california Bernie Sanders watch bob lets bring in kimberly 1st at the white house we know that President Trump has spent the last few days saying the democrats are trying to oust Bernie Sanders strong words from him whats his strategy then. Oh well the president s strategy 1st of all is to win the republican nomination and doesnt appear that he has any real challenge going on in fact the president has been tweeting in the last hour or so some of the states that he has won but again there really wasnt a lot of competition pointing out that he collected North Carolina also vermont and then the hash tag keep America Great donald trump essentially his argument is is that there is historically low unemployment the economy is doing well and so when beginning was running it was make America Great now the hashtag keep America Great but theres something that hes also been tweeting about as he continues to attack his opponents one of the recent tweets is a video of mayor Mike Bloomberg eating some donuts and licking his fingers and donald trump points out calling him in his bullying tactics minibike this is both unsanitary and dangerous and theres other sort of factor in all of this and that is that donald trump is worried about the economy potentially and the impact because hes running on keeping America Great as the coronavirus continues to potentially sort of broaden throughout the United States now showing up in North Carolina one of these super tuesday states so its interesting that donald trump is kind of making mention of that without actually saying coronavirus this is something that could have a real impact as there are large gatherings moving forward people are voting so its interesting that donald trump is mentioning that almost pointing out as he tries to attack his a potential opponent one of his major vulnerabilities only took him to the white house can really thank you for that lets cross over now to North Carolina where john hendren is there for us now at a polling station john i know you were in North Carolina but talk to us quickly about whats happening in virginia because youve been youve been costing a beady eye there as well. Thats right well joe biden is running up delegates in the south in virginia thats a state he really wanted to win its increasingly turned democratic used to be a much more republican state 99. 00 delegates at stake and as you heard michelle talking about earlier biden is the winner at least the one we have declared their large africanamerican population exit polls show that one in 4 voters both there and in North Carolina was africanamerican thats a group that joe biden has done very well with in part perhaps because of his association with barack obama so big win for him there but now you just heard michelle call North Carolina as well thats 110 delegates at stake there the 3rd largest state in super tuesday among all of those after california and texas and then biden is now hoping that as hes campaigning moves eastward and gets results that tennessee will also be in that winners box and theres a reason he wants to run up delegates in those early states because in the west there are places like california which youll hear about later where Bernie Sanders has an advantage but the big question for many people has been what would Mike Bloomberg do to buy his buy youve just got the he just got people to judge and amy close pulling out of the race and indorsing him and then youve got for the 1st time ever on this super tuesday youve got Mike Bloomberg entering the race or nobody really knew how that was going to affect him he was leading Bernie Sanders here but now its pretty much a 4 person race and by the end of the night biden and sanders hope that it is a 2 person race you still got it was a bit more and you still got Mike Bloomberg and tosi gabber deuce is coming in the Single Digits but those 2 gentlemen hope to come out of this with a battle between the center of the party thats joe biden and the left of the party thats Bernie Sanders. John hendren there for us in charlotte North Carolina john thank you for that lets cross over now to palm beach and. The Mike Bloomberg event in florida 1st of all christians are all old because why is he in florida thats a state that isnt voting. Absolutely but Mike BloombergJust Campaign staff told me that theyre here for the long haul that theyre looking beyond super tuesday its quite plain day that mike will not win any states on super tuesday but remember these are not voter take all or take all states that is delegates are assigned proportionally so if bloomberg wins more than 15 percent in any of these states he will get delegates and he is counting on racking up enough delegates to stay competitive and move forward florida is a very important swing state a more moderate leading state Bernie Sanders who was the leader coming into this race was not polling well in florida Mike Bloomberg had been doing good with doing well with moderate voters hoping to capitalize on that so thats why he is here hoping to win over those moderate voters who think that Bernie Sanders may be a bit too far to the left to win against donald trump november and that maybe joe biden doesnt have the staying power that was a more compelling argument before South Carolina when joe biden surged ahead he seems to be capitalizing now from the support of a new club a shark and people who judge the other moderates in the race but you can hear the crowd here cheering for mike hes got a very enthusiastic crowd turned out tonight and he says that hes not ready to to bow out after super tuesday hes in for the long haul hes planning on taking this right to the convention all right of course in some of the West Palm Beach christiane thank you very much for that lets cross over now to austin. Exists alan fisher is there for us now allan we know texas of course the other big prize along with california for super tuesday highly diverse all the candidates focusing there how are things playing out. Well were not going to get an exit poll from texas for a while although some of the polls opposed to the still the texas panhandle and there still voting going on there but just from what we can see across the country this is shaping up to be a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party and not means that texas becomes really important to we see who people here in what is really a republican state see is electable for the democrats because youve got Bernie Sanders winning in places like vermont in New Hampshire and in nevada places that are considered more liberal where weve got joe biden winning in North Carolina hes projected to when and alabama quite substantially hes also expected to win in arkansas possibly also to an oklahoma so suddenly if he wins here it says to his supporters look i can win in places where democrats havent done traditionally well because weve got support among the party in texas so it becomes a real battle for the party the pause here suggest that hes going to win here if you add in the delegate haul in california that would be a significant victory but by no look selectable he didnt after i was 70 didnt after New Hampshire but that went in South Carolina suddenly projected him quite high into the race and people are saying look maybe he can be the guy to beat donald trump and if he picks up those Southern States been talking about that might see to many members of the Democratic Party have still to cast votes in the primary if we want to when weve got to bring the whole party along in that includes moderates and people who in 2016 voted for donald trump but dont like his style of presidency. And the guy to do that is joe biden is another thing thats going to complicate things as well Bernie Sanders is hoping to do very well in california that result will be called quite late but in the next few hours and for the next couple of hours American Television here this was talking that were out in austin has been concentrating really almost exclusively for the last couple of hours on how well joe biden is doing and that then becomes the not accept that this is a very good night for joe biden yeah Mike Bloomberg has won American Samoa but then he paid for 7 organizers and there are 6 delegates up for grabs and so its a very small return on half a 1000000000. 00 of spending and you so this is going to be the narrative for the next few hours that joe biden has done very well in super tuesday and that tends to lead to the 3 ends daryn which is money momentum. I Media Coverage alan fischer of the austin texas allan thank you for that with polls for the primaries in california will close out about fool g. M. T. 400. 00 g. M. T. Thats in just under 3 hours or so from now rob reynolds joins us live from Los Angeles Rob so a few hours to go yet how things like to play out where you are. Not only just a few hours before the polls close there and but also it may be several days even before we get the final results in california because the state is a very meticulous method of call of. Absentee votes and mail in vote but overall all the polls show that Bernie Sanders is leading here in the golden state bear in mind those polls were taken prior to pete put a judge and amy close which are dropping out and giving their support to joe biden what Bernie Sanders is hoping to do here is to replicate the coalition that he created in nevada where he won big that is liberals young people and let tino is hes hoping to have that coalition they respond very well to his message of trying to decrease income inequality and wealth inequality in the country universal health care. Improvements in education and a forgiveness of student debts so we will be looking to see if that is working here you know the latino vote is sometimes referred to in political terms as the Sleeping Giant in american politics d d because lets you know us tend not to vote in the proportion of their size in the population but sanders has been doing a lot of work a lot of outreach a lot of door knocking pounding the pavement in order to change that and to get a large turnout of lets you know voters as for joe biden he is hoping that the more moderate voters and the significant african. American voting block he in cities like this like los angeles like san diego and San Francisco will give him a strong showing Elizabeth Warren unknown at this point whats going to happen to her how well shell do certainly shell need to do some thinking about her future course after all d the results are in on super tuesday and as for Mike Bloomberg i watch television here in los angeles and in the evenings you cannot stand stiff dean minutes in front of the Television Without being bombarded with several Michael Bloomberg bloomberg ads but for all those millions and millions of dollars that hes spent on advertising hes polling d in the low Single Digits here so again that will be something that will be watching here as to how well Mike Bloomberg does and whether he thinks he can continue after california sends in its ballots all right to rob reynolds the in Los Angeles California rob thank you for that all right lets lets get some results now richelle is waiting by the result all right erin at the polls are closed in alabama may massachusetts minnesota and oklahoma so lets give you the lay of the land so far with the a little early results weve got the states obviously in blue are we have some totals so the early results show that former Vice President joe biden won in alabama North Carolina also in virginia the 3 and blue right there Bernie Sanders won his home state where he has been a senator since 2007 that obviously is the next state in blue the state of vermont so lets take a look at the totals right now what we have so far about a 3rd of that number up there 1191 about a 3rd of that is up for grabs tonight on super tuesday so joe biden out to a sizable lead 157 delegates so far coming into the night he was behind Bernie Sanders was leading and that category Bernie Sanders right now has 91 pledged delegates Elizabeth Warren the senator from. The 2 says has 9 and Mike Bloomberg has one that i believe coming from the american territory of samoa or they are allowed to vote in the primaries they actually do not vote for the president but they are having their say at least in this part of the process so right now former Vice President joe biden is in the label see if those numbers if the lead goes back and forth throughout the night in the meantime back over to you Tara Michelle thank you very much ok so candidates have been pitching their positions on major issues and thats important of course for voters as they decide candidates nearly 5 out of 10 democrats think health care is extremely important for the republicans that figures just 22 percent lets look at Climate Change 44 percent of democratic voters and 8 percent of republicans think its important and of course income inequality is considered a crucial critical subject issue even by 37 percent of democrat voters and 12 percent of republicans and race as weve been discussing here tonight with our panel is also among the big issues the 33 percent of democratic voters and less so on the republican sid
