Im kylie atwood in charleston, South Carolina this is cnn its on after Super Tuesday joe biden and donald trump have all but locked down their partys nomination, setting up a rematch of the race from four years ago, who has the upper hand here, the election is just under 18 months away and a strike by russia in odessa nearly hit Ukrainian PresidentVolodymyr Zelenskyy is convoy as he was traveling with greeces Prime Minister, at least five people were killed as the president s delegation felt the impact of the strike and saw a Mushroom Cloud of smoke. Zelenskyy calling on allies again for more Air Defense Plus theres vaccinated and then theres what, 162 yearold man does getting the covid vaccine, 217 times. That is way too many needles will tell you how it affected his health as we follow these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to Cnn News Central in unprecedented election battle. Now, in view, presumptive president ial nominees, joe biden and donald trump are set for a rematch a current president against a former president who tried to overturn the last election, were they . Faced off . The stage is set after nikki haley suspended her primary run this morning, clearing the way for trump on the gop side, she called on trump to earn her support and that of her backers, but stopped short of endorsing him. And then moments later, trump did get a major injury source meant from Outgoing Senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, one of his biggest republican critics in congress, just three years ago, mcconnell blamed trump for the events of january 6, but voted to acquit him in his second impeachment trial. We have cnns mj lee, who is at the white house and mj, were hearing two parallel messages from biden and today hes continuing to lay into trump and hes also extending an olive branch to haley voters yeah. Brianna, you know, even though the Biden Campaign has been making that pivot to the general election for a number of weeks already last night really did mark the official start of the general election for the campaign. And one of the main reasons is that they believe that it is after Super Tuesday that many of the voters who have so far been really tuned out of the election will begin paying attention and come to the realization that donald trump is going to be the eventual republican nominee. Now to that, and weve obviously seen President Biden continuing to ratchet up the criticism of donald will trump. We saw some really stark language from his Statement Released last night, where he said that president , former President Trump is driven by revenge and retribution. He wants to destroy democracy, take away peoples fundamental freedoms. And the other dynamic that is now going to be even more at play here is ways of the Biden Campaign in can try to broaden out their base and their coalition with an eye towards november. Now, even before this morning when nikki haley dropped out, we saw Biden Campaign officials talking about how they were keeping an eye on these nikki Haley Supporters to see if they can bring them along. These are the voters that officials described as the gettable voters first the voters who are really turned off by donald trump, and we saw that outreach from President Biden himself in the statement that he released this morning, part of which im going to read. He said nikki haley was willing to speak the truth about trump, about the chaos that always follows him, about his inability to see right from wrong, about his cowering before for vladmir putin, he went on to say donald trump made it clear. He doesnt want nikki Haley Supporters and i want to be clear. There is a place for them in my campaign. So look, i think Biden Campaign officials in an election that they expect is going to be incredibly close. They fully understand that these are the kinds of voters that in the end could end up making all the difference between whether President Biden can have a second term or not. And how do these Political Developments of the week factor in to what were going to hear from President Biden during his state of the Union Address yeah. This week ends up being just such a momentous week for President Biden, both for the campaign and for the white house because you have Super Tuesday followed by the state of the Union Address tomorrow evening, just backtoback i think the state of the Union Address goes without saying is always important for any president , but this is a really important one for President Biden, given that this is going to be the last setting, this kind of setting at least where he gets to address the American People before he faces voters. Again, come november. So were going to see him sort of laying out his accomplishments of the first three years and then sort of Paint A Picture of what his second term would look like. I think much of what we have seen President Biden and his surrogates and others at the white house doing a the last course of the last few days was really leading up to the speech that we are going to see tomorrow evening. Brianna all right. Mj lee live for us at the white house. Thank you. Horse now lets get the view from the trump camp. Cnns Kristen Holmes is live for us in west palm beach, covering the trump campaign. Kristin cant really describe trumps message this morning after the news that haley was leaving the campaign as celebratory, right . No, its kind of being a sore winner during haleys speech, she essentially you stopped short of endorsing trump, as we said, but then called on him to earn republicans votes earn the republicans who had supported her, who had chosen not to support donald trump. And bring them into the party while she was speaking, donald trump fire this off on truth social. He said, nikki haley got trounced last night and record setting fashion despite the fact that democrats for reasons unknown, are allowed to vote in vermont and various other republican primaries much of her money came from radical left democrats, as did many of our votes, almost 50 according to the polls. At this point, i hope she stays in the race and fights it out until the end. Id like to thank my family, friends, and the Great Republican Party for helping me produce by far the most successful Super Tuesday in history. And would further like to invite all the Haley Supporters to join the greatest movement in the history of our nation. But he says biden is the enemy. He is destroying our country and make America Great again that is his invitation to the Haley Supporters say essentially that they are democrats and they are funded by radical left he is, he also sends a message earlier for the campaign cycles saying that anyone who donate to haley would not be welcome to donate to him, which find hard to believe. They are looking for donors but then he says, you can come join my campaign as well. One thing to note here. Mj says that the white house is very aware that they need every vote they can get. They cant they need those. Haleys supporters . So is Donald Trumps campaign. They are very aware that this is going to be a tight election that every single vote counts when i talk to their campaign, they have strategy after strategy of how to siphon off votes from specific voter blocs, particularly democratic voting blocs. We talk about Working Class voters we talk about black voters. That is something they are working towards. They need these Haley Supporters. They want these haleys supporters. Obviously though this is not the messaging to get those Haley Supporters or to earn those republican voters. So how they come together with Donald Trumps messaging . That is going to be what we wait to say. Kristen holmes live for us in west palm beach, florida. Thanks so much, kristen lets break this all down with cnn senior political analyst, gloria borger, and cnn political director david chalian. Thanks both for being with us. Glory of the question now becomes where do those haley voters go . Well as poor haley voters out in the wilderness, where are they going to go . Its not clear where theyre going to go. You heard that biden is saying, you know, come to my side, the weathers great and trumps sort of not doing that although he does need the haley voters. And we saw that last night because he needs he needs to broaden his base. He needs more moderates. He needs he needs those people and the exit polls showed very strongly in north carolina, for example, that 81 of those haley voters said that they werent interested in donald trump. So hes got a lot of work to do to win them. And the question is whether hes willing to do that. Hes never been known as somebody whos out there trying to increase his his base of support. But the people running his campaign know they have to do that. We should just know when we talk about these haley voters, right . These are people who are participating in a republican primary process. So a large swath of them are going to put on there are jersey in the fall and likely vote republican even with donald trump as the nominee, as gloria rightly points out, we see in all of these contests, there are some swath of the party thats resistant to trump as the nominee. And understanding how big a slice that really is come november in the six states that matter is going to be the Math Equation that the trump and the Biden Campaigns need to do, but are Polling Director General just went through all the exit polls. Across all six states that we have data from in this primary season. I just want to give you the composition of the haley voters by party across this whole primary season where we have exit polls, 48 of haley voters were republican 41 were independent, and 11 were democrats. Whereas donald trump, 73 of his voters were republican. So she definitely has a different makeup of voters to what gloria saying is a place for donald trump. If hes looking to build his coalition and bringing some people back in the fold who drifted away from him in 18 and in 20. Her voters are an area to do that. But a lot of them back in january, guys, we did a poll, 20 of her voters in the poll that told us they were supporting her in our National Poll said they voted for biden in 2020. So some of these haley voters, or otherwise known as biden voters from 2020 and you know how they might become whats called double haters. People who dont like either candidate. And the question is, what are these double haters do, do they go to a third party . Canada . Youve got rfk on lots of ballots now. And i think we need to Pay Attention to those to those on ballots who could take off slivers of the election, the uncommitted we saw in michigan and some in minnesota that could be really important in the fall when you mentioned those biden voters that went for haley because theyre more inclined to go for biden than they are for trump. And we just heard mj reporting that the Biden Campaign in is looking to see if theres opportunity. There. Are they looking for Growth Opportunity beyond the people that they already had in the past. I mean, is there really a Growth Opportunity there . Well, without a doubt, theyre looking for it because they need to make up some ground from where they have problems in other areas, even in their own Base Coalition with progressives, with younger voters, with voters of color, especially young men of color that there are, there are pieces that we see in the Biden Coalition that are part of the base, that arent showing up. Now, i dont know that i would call these voters necessarily part of the base, but they were part of the biden 2020 coalition. And so yes, some of them may find it more natural to come back to biden in a biden trump rematch. But the Biden Campaign is looking at this to see where where can they get even a bigger chunk of these folks . To come over as they make the full contrast campaign susie asm is a big problem for the Biden Campaign. I think what theyre worried about is people staying home on the couch at theyre not enthusiastic about about joe biden me, you know, the trump voters are really enthusiastic about donald trump and have always been and remains so. The biden voters are kind of to remake their coalition and add to it. But make sure that those people are motivated to get to the polls, not to undersell the great people of american samoa, but across the map last night it didnt look like there was any clear glaring weakness in the folks that did come out in the contest for biden. Well, except as gloria noted in minnesota, we did see that uncommitted get 19 of the vote. I dont i dont know that that is an automatic glaring weakness for the fall, but clearly after what we saw in michigan last week that the administration chuns israel policy, even as it is on the move, have you, as youve seen over the last few weeks is clearly still causing some democratic primary voters to want to cast a protest vote. So to me thats, that involves a piece of the coalition that theyre going to need to make sure comes back their bet. The Biden Campaigns big bet here. Remind the country every single day about the Parade Of Horribles of donald trump, the threat he poses to the country. What hes promised to do against the grain of democratic norms in a second term, if here to get there. And that, that they think will bring the vote so no and no doubt the Biden Administration and biden has a problem with voters because of his handling of the israel gaza war. The tricky thing is, when minnesota people would already cast early ballots. So when we saw this very forceful language, language from Kamala Harris this week its not exactly the vote in minnesota wasnt exactly a referendum, right . Because some of the rhetorical changes, especially the most strident rhetorical changes weve seen came after some people cast their votes so its hard to, its really, its hard to say, but they do have a lot of work to do and they know that just the trump people have a lot of work to do, but the biden people understand that theyve got to get back to where they were you know, because theyve lost a lot of ground from where they were and they have a president who is unpopular and exit polls and other polling show people believe hes too old. And so you start from that and youve got to figure out a way to patch it all together again and remind people about donald trump. And i think thats going to be front and center because its going to be a choice. And donald trump is effectively running as an incumbent in many ways. And they have to remind people who he is and i think youre going to see joe biden get much more aggressive about that. Already seen actually, as you were speaking, gloria, we did get confirmation of some Breaking News into my ear. Not likely to change the dynamic. I bet, you know what it is. Dean phil dean phillips. He is suspending his president ial campaign. Is he just like a Trivia Footnote in history, what impacted his campaign have said now, Persona Non Grata to his fellow democrats in minnesota is especially listen, he made no friends with this quixotic campaign against the incumbent democratic president he says, ive been trying to ring the bell for a yearandahalf saying joe biden is not our best foot forward as a party. He ended up not being the vehicle. Obviously, that could galvanize support among democrats joe biden seems to have the party pretty locked up despite the concerns that we see. And so, you know, dean phillips now says hes going to exit the stage. Marion williamson, remember she suspended and then unsaid, abandons and shes shes back in this campaign. But we know what this contest it is a rematch, and it is an unthinkable one that he former president is going to seek the oval office again, despite being dealing with 91 criminal charges in four indictments, and that the oldest man to hold the job in history where that age does cause concern among voters is going to go up against him. This is going to be an epic rematch and one that i find, its hard to find voters who are eager for it. Yeah, i think theres a lot more doublehaters out there. Gloria david, thank you so much to both of you. And ahead this hour on Cnn News Central, a russian Strike Landing near the convoy of Ukrainian President
