Well we have a team of correspondents following the latest developments in the race for the white house look im surrounded by that we have alan fish a hair on my left resign for us in austin texas we have Kimberly Halkett who broadway give leo get out of here if you standing by in washington d. C. That 1st lets talk to Gabriel Elizondo he is live for us in new york where he is so gay that you obviously where Michael Bloomberg used to preside used to be the mayor he has bowed out what did he say and who is he backing now. Yeah he left florida late last night defter the results were coming in he came back here to new york where this morning on wednesday morning he met with some of his closest advisers and they basically went to him and said we do not see a path for on how you get the nomination so he very quickly decided to withdraw and pull out of this campaign hes already said that hes going to be throwing his support to joe biden which is significant because its thought to believe that because hes a moderate that a lot of the bloomberg support will go to joe biden however the big question is beyond the simple support of his followers in the endorsement where will the Campaign Infrastructure that Mike Bloomberg has built up he has spent over over half a 1000000000. 00 in the last 3 months where will that go will all his Staff Members hundreds of Staff Members in dozens of states around the Country Offices throughout the country as well the big question now is will bloomberg try to transfer all of that to joe biden as well but without a doubt bloomberg came back here to new york saw that there was no path forward as his as he said in his statement he said the delegate math was simply impossible so Mike Bloomberg out of the race after only 3 months now the support probably will go to joe biden 3 months than half a 1000000000 dollars Gabriel Elizondo there live from new york thank you lets bring in kimberly hellcat now White House Correspondent standing by in washington d. C. Kimberly unsurprisingly President Donald Trump has spoken once he had to say. Yeah the president is weighing in reacting and once again mocking Mike Bloomberg a essentially making the argument that he didnt have what it takes to be the president of the United States and if hed only listen to donald trump well he could have saved himself hundreds of millions of dollars and a one we talk about the money that was in the Bloomberg Campaign and where its going to go well donald trump is speculating that its going to go to joe biden take a listen i think its tough i think joe has an easier path right now believe it or not. I see many my just the other hes going to you know try and save face by putting somebody into bidens campaign and bloomberg put in probably a 1000000000 dollars. And you know sometimes you just dont have what it takes and i said to him its not easy doing what i did is it. And ill drive you are there couldnt resist the sort of mocking tone of the height of Michael Bloomberg calling him again many mike this is where we are in american politics right now you know the man that is holding the highest office convincing americans that he wants to run again is sort of behaving like a child or a schoolyard bully but that is where things stand as the democratic field narrows can we how about a White House Correspondent in washington thank you and finally lets go to also in texas where ellen fish a is standing by and allan texas is one of the states that brought joe biden back to life. Who would have thought that super tuesday would be so dramatic beforehand and after as well so we now have 2 front runners Bernie Sanders and joe biden weve got 2 women still in the race Tulsi Gabbard remember her no probably not thats because her name hasnt got much recognition shes not doing terribly well with the voters and Elizabeth Warren and were told from the Warm Campaign that she is no taking time and space to think about what happens next so it could well narrow it down into biden and bernie in the next couple of days and who would have thought that Bernie Joe Biden has run for president 3 times now and it was only on saturday he won his 1st ever primary or caucus and no were talking about him being the default front runner joining me now its jim henson with the Texas Politics Program here at the university of texas jim thanks so much for joining us were you surprised at what happened on super tuesday when it was a little bit surprised by the fact that biden did pass sanders although there was a trajectory going on it seemed like by in which biden was rising and sanders was a little bit flat. We didnt know if senator biden had enough time to actually surpass sanders turns out he did what won it for him here in texas is that many of the voters who live in related is see him as a safe bet that and Bernie Sanders and him being a self described democratic socialist well i think theres a that the rural voters in texas were a part of that but you have to remember that theres not that many rural democrats left here most of the rural folks are republicans i think that route what really turned it is that sanders the centers campaign could not produce on the promise of a lot of new young voters the exit polls are telling us that voters 18. 00 to 29. 00 in the democratic primary made up to 15 and 16 percent of the electorate thats just not enough to push to push sanders over the over the line if biden is Still Holding on to essentially those voters parents and grandparents as well as a big chunk of the white vote and if El
