You know the pressure on the climate camp very very. I think a samsung arm and i think you. Have a trial were going to see. Well it made you never had. So we have teams deployed right across a key battleground states for super tuesday alan fischer is at a democratic watch body in austin texas will be speaking to him in just a few minutes 1st of all reynolds who is that joe bidens rally in california its pretty empty where you are but california of course results coming in this hour what are the expectations that. Well it could take some time for the votes to be counted and we have some breaking news for you foley the Sanders Campaign has filed in court for an emergency injunction to keep the polls here in Los Angeles County open for several more hours 1 because there have been serious delays of some people saying they waited for hours to 3 hours in order to vote there were a lot of delays down at the college near the College Campus of the university of california at los angeles where many sanders voters were. Impeded from voting by a long lines the voting itself will take some time to tabulate there have been some new procedures here in california put in place over the past couple of years and sometimes it takes a long time for them to go through and very meticulously count the mailing in and absentee ballots but ill tell you something follow you i listen to this speech by. The former Vice President joe biden tonight and i was in Las Vegas Nevada a little over a week ago listen to him making a speech then tonight seemed like a completely different person he was fired up and we have now a family here the Edwards Family were going to have the entire group home on camera Danielle EdwardsBrian Edwards and their beautiful children josephine and beau. Daniel let me start with you you told me before that you had to suddenly decide to make a last minute decision who youre going to vote for yeah actually just this morning i was thinking about mayor pete and brian who sleeps in brief politics let me know that he had dropped out and so i did my homework all day long and landed on and landed on biden and what made you choose biden over for example Bernie Sanders the most important thing for me in this election was who could be President Trump and that was biden for me here. To me these things attract chilled right right out in terms of his history in terms of his know how his connections him being able to put the right people in the right places to get the right things passed in washington was extremely important to me and so the only person i thought doing that with biden is around ok great so brian your wife says you live and breathe politics. What do you make of the past 2448 hours of twists and turns in this race and this extreme volatility thats going on yes its been a pretty alike in so you know its theres a lot of for the most for most part i think i thought no i think for me a lot. Like the major shifts was like after biden. Had a huge win in the huge win south in the kalina so basically after that i think i think for him like he has a new sense of like energy i think for him later is kind of like an opening up for him now so electability is that a very important issue for absolutely yes so yes so yes for me i definitely like mike wants him because i think hes hes definitely definitely the like right right one and i see when you believe that he can defeat President Trump in the november election absolutely all right great well im sorry to disappoint the kids that they cant take the microphone home with them but thank you very much Edwards Family for speaking with us and enjoy the rest of your evening thank you ok thank you take take it easy so thats a little bit of a sampling of opinion here and again waiting for the final returns from california it could be good news for Bernie Sanders he has been leading here that of course in polls that were taken before judge and global dropped out and handed their support to biden and one of the things that i think is very important as far as Bernie Sanders is concerned is that he had made a great deal of outreach an effort to reach. The Latino Community you know sometimes in american politics the Latino Community is referred to as kind of a Sleeping Giant because there are they dont vote in they numbers that they could if they were engaged politically by a candidate well sanders has tried to do that outreach engagement pounding the pavement knocking on doors getting people registered and so on so well see if that pays off another final thing i have to add of ali before i let before we go is that voting has been underway early voting here in california for for a number of days so a lot of votes have already been cast and counted even before these tumultuous events strike with would a judge and and. Club which are over the past couple of days so we shall see and well get the information to you as soon as we can of course thank you very much rob reynolds live for us in a sign just California California the biggest feist in the super tuesday primaries where the podium calls ssaid but as rob was saying just a moment ago that he sanders has find an injunction for some of the polls in the state of california to stay open a little longer now they sent a far far from vermont small county it to his a supporter is saying that the same old politics wouldnt be trump listening what we need is a new politics that breeds working class people in time our political mood good god works brings young people into our political goldberg god and which in the example will create our highest voter turnout in american political history. So Bernie Sanders winning 2 states in the super tuesday primaries his home state of vermont of course Biden Joe Biden the former Vice President has won 7 states and the number of states still too close to call. Including the state of texas where we now join aljazeera is allan facia texas allen of course yeah the big prize is super tuesday and its still too close to call that. It is theres about 25 percent of the votes have been counted the problem is some people have still to vote even though the polls have been freshly closed for a couple of hours though there were people who were in line and ready to vote particularly here in austin near the university in the him unable to cast their vote yet what is interesting is that people down in there say that some of the shootings still havent made up their mind who to vote for not have been following the Media Coverage obviously on their phones but it shows that theyre committed to the process and not necessarily to one particular candidate which is interesting because theres been a real drive to register voters here in texas in the belief that if you get a Younger Voting population there is the possibility that they will vote democrat and then they could possibly flip the state joining me live now here in austin is sidney green from the good deeds not words which looks to empower women in politics and get them involved city when you look at the field and now looks as if Elizabeth Warren is not going to be one of the front runners is going to be 2 old men white men in their late seventys right does not disappoint you i think the main thing that we need to look at is the fact that you know we need to make sure that we have candidates that are talking about womens issues not talking about if shes also an impact people of color and so i feel like even though that there arent any women at the top right now that doesnt mean that its a loss for us right were going to keep on going there are many years to come theres still time to elect a woman and we also know also look at the down ballot races right in the local races that are happening right here in Travis County theyre happening all across texas and realize that how important it is to elect women into those states and let people of color see those 2. Some kind of work from the bottom to the top when you saw the start of the democratic process it was released by very strong women in bold being released who looked different to one another there was more and call the shonen money and william soon of course become a heartless right to do one of them might break through this time or one i personally cant speak to who exactly i support and do not support i think that i will say that you know it is important to have a person up there who reflects that for city of this country and so i would 2nd i would go back to the fact that you know were going to keep on working harder to hopefully put a woman up there soon but the thing is you know we really just need someone at the end they who is going to support womens issues who are going to look at women and support women and know the issues that matter to us but also matter to black women as well that matters to women all across the board and so at the end the day even though and the 2 front runners are male we have a hopefully a strong feeling that they will support the issues that we care about and do you worry that womens issues get sometimes by the candidates even though youre 51 percent of the electorate yes yes well thats an interesting question i appreciate you bringing that up i do think sometimes that we are sidelined but we make up a huge part of the voting bloc and i think that now more than ever the candidates understand that and its very important that they do understand that that women when we vote we vote in numbers and we are extremely powerful were extremely diverse and at the end the day like we really need candidates to show up for our causes and i believe that they will never get the nomination do you hope theres a woman on the ticket as Vice President almost peaking for me personally as Sidney Greene that would be absolutely great to see and i think that when we are represented not just at the top but also you know at a local level and he gives young voters like myself it gives young women myself it gives us really an inspiration and a power to believe that yeah there are people who can look like me who can be at the. And he can be running things he can be making a better country a better state and their city a better county so personally i would love to see that i met and the day that we need to focus on pitching president s in texas and pushing for the present change in texas i know youve got a busy night thank you very much indeed for joining us live here and aljazeera sydney green from the deeds not words no joe biden has had a good night in other parts of the south in alabama in oklahoma tennessee as well all big wins for joe biden what is interesting is that in somewhere like alabama where hes won a large number of votes he didnt campaign there tall didnt spend a great deal of money in contrast might bloomberg who of course just came into this race for super tuesday well he spent over 600000. 00 in alabama and it looks as if hes not going to get any delegates from there a tall thing to remember if youre going to go over the 15 percent mark of the vote and then those delegates start to get distributed almost by proportional representation so even though Bernie Sanders is doing well at the moment in texas with joe biden being very close behind him Bernie Sanders might win texas but he might not get so many more delegates than joe biden and that is whats going to be crucial as we head towards the Democratic Party convention and deciding who stands against donald trump come november the thought yeah and its still a way to go before that convention alan fischer thank you very much for that allen in austin texas for us lets continue this discussion and analysis of these results with our u. S. Guests now a special panel from the United States joining us in washington d. C. Adolfo franco is a republican strategist and was an adviser to senator john mccain also in washington d. C. Now finds a butler and is with a former Senior Advisor to common a harris. For the people shes currently a partner for s s c r b strategies and joins us from. Washington d. C. But also in d. C. With us Jennifer Victor a professor of Political Science at George Mason University thank you very much for being with us all of you. Let me start with you. Thats a big night for joe biden no doubt the consolidation by the Democratic Party around him seems to have helped a lot no doubt that the unity around Vice President biden has helped him incredibly the most important part of it though started with the incredible turnout of the Africanamerican Community in South Carolina giving him such a big boost indorsement of representative clyburn i think was d critical to that and the Vice President left South Carolina demonstrating that he could put together that Obama Coalition from 08 and 2012 and i think those endorsements started rolling in coming into california where while the Vice President has not campaigned a lot personally himself in the state he has had a number of his surrogates in the state he has gotten the endorsement of a number of california state leaders and local leaders and so tonight its going to be a very exciting night in california for the Vice President but also you cant you know one should count out senator sanders a great date as well Jennifer Victor i mean joe biden says america is hungry to be united and that most of the people most democrats dont want the promise of a revolution that. Is making do you agree with that do you do you think you know this is a biden race now. Well that remains to be seen to some extent but what all of the dust has settled here at the end of super tuesday its looking to me very much like 2020 is going to feel pretty similar to what 2016 felt like in which you had one sort of moderate democrat back then it was Hillary Clinton now it looks like its going to be joe biden versus Bernie Sanders who is Bernie Sanders in both of those cases and theyre going to battle it out until the end in 2016 Hillary Clinton obviously prevailed and so to the extent that biden is using some evidence that that portion of the party is larger that might be part of his case on the other hand sanders has been growing this movement as it were for quite some time now trying to make a play for it. Remains quite defiant do you think biden bill can sustain this momentum till the convention i mean theres still looming questions about him his propensity for gaffes moments away searches for words hes also spending. Compared to Bernie Sanders he has one of the smallest organizations. Do you think this momentum from the victories in South CarolinaNorth Carolina will keep going until the convention. Well certainly you know his campaign was struggling he didnt perform all that well over the 1st couple of contests with iowa New Hampshire and nevada but then performed well in South Carolina but that was just 3 days ago i know it feels longer ag
