Donald trump still in the race. Joe biden as we know is wrapping up the race. What to make of what happens right now . Because in order to win over disaffected nikki haley workers and supporters, what does donald trump want to do . Were going to explore that. Welcome. Im neil cavuto, this is your world. To bill melugin in charleston, South Carolina with the ramifications of Super Tuesday on a lot of questions wednesday. Bill . Neil, we were in the room when nikki haley made this announcement. It was somber with her staffers and supporters. A quick speech. He did not endorse donald trump. Instead, she urged him to try to win over her supporters. Take a listen. Its now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it that did not support him. I hope he does that. At its best, politics is about bringing people in to your cause, not turning them away. This is nikki haley walking out on stage moments before that announcement. She walked out to applause from her supporters, this following a disappointing Super Tuesday for her in which she only won one state, vermont. She started this race a year ago. She was the last one standing against donald trump. She exited the race today. Now donald trump is the Presumptive Republican nominee. The rnc reacting to that. Heres what theyre saying today. President trump once delivered a booming economy, secure border, Energy Independence and americas strength on the world stage. The exact opposite of the chaos created by joe biden. Republican voters have spoken loud and clear with historically large margins and were more united than ever to beat biden and democrats up and down the ballot in november. Neil, nikki haleys camp pushes back against that last statement. No, republicans are not more united. The votes that they got in some states, 30 to 40 show that this party is still fractured. The big question will be, can nikki haley and donald trump mend bridges . Where will her supporters go this fall. That remains to be scene. Meantime, haley says that shes excited to going back to being a private citizen. Back to you. Neil thanks. Want to go to bryan llenas. Hes with all of the trump forces in west palm beach, florida. Bryan, The Big Question now is, does the former president see the need to reach out not only to nikki haley but her supporters . What are you hearing . Yeah, absolutely. That is a big question. I think part of that, winning over the independent voters will be the debates. Former President Donald Trump just less than an hour ago said the same person that said he would not debate his republican rivals is now challenging President Biden to a debate saying it doesnt matter who hosts the debates, even if its the Democratic National committee. He wrote this On Truth Social. Its importants for the good of our country that joe biden and i debate issues so important to the American People. Im calling for debates any time, anywhere, anyplace. Earlier today trump reacted to haleys decision to drop out of this race without endorsing him by writing Nikki Haley Got Trounced Last Night in recordseeking fashion. I would further like to invite all of the haley supporters to join the greatest movement in the history of our nation. Now last night trump called on the Republican Party to come together. Today Mitch Mcconnell endorsed trump despite years of animosity, including personal attacks against elaine chao, mcconnells wife. I said in february after 2021, shortly after the attack on the capitol, i would support President Trump if he were the nominee of our party and he obviously will be the nominee of our party. President biden and the dnc have 80 million cash on hand. Thats double the cash the Trump Campaign and the rnc have. The New York Times says that former President Trump mid with elon musk and other wealthy donors to try to raise more case. Musk said just to be super clear, i am not donating money to either candidate for u. S. President. Both trump and biden will be hosting duelling rallies in georgia on saturday. Ahead of the primary there. Neil . Neil thanks, bryan. Lets go to lee carter, gop polster. Its very clear right now that theres still a little bit of bad blood between the former president and nikki haley. Obviously that message that he sent out from truth social didnt sound warm and cuddly. He has to reach out to her voters. No, we dont. She didnt have that much. What are you hearing . I think that hes not going to make an overt effort in any kind of way. I think he already did. He reached out to them in his own way. He couldnt help but comment on nikki haley. But he said, you know, come in to the tent. Thats what well see more of. Hes on wards and he wants everybody else to get on the trump train. I dont think he will make any nuanced offerings, but i think he will invite everybody in to the train. The truth of the matter is, as much as people say that they didnt vote for nikki haley, theyre not going to vote for donald trump, you help but wonder what will happen. They wont go out in numbers and start supporting joe biden. Neil by the way, well get into this later. Joe biden and the white house, theyre working hard to get some of them to come over. I dont know who will win that out. Do you think you look at these numbers every detail. Its one thing for donald trump to be running away with the republican nomination. Its quite another to win over the independents and others that have been leery of him and less so now. Theyre still leery. How crucial will be that be . What type of efforts do they need to make . I think his speech last night, he hit on a couple of things that i think are so important. He talked about Energy Independence. He talked about immigration. He talked about the economy. Those are the things that are most important. When you talk to voters out there, across the board, this includes independents, donald trump wins issues that are most important to the american voters. He needs to focus on those rather than going to january 6 and litigate what happened then and litigate with the last election. When he focuses on how strong a economy can be and strengthening our border and making America Great again, thats when he reallies people together. Im not to say that he will be a disciplined messenger. When he focuses on things that matter most to the American People, thats when he wins. Neil let me ask you about nikki haley and what role she could play in his campaign. When i talked to her last, we raised v. P. Thing. She always poopooed that. This is nikki haley. I want you to react. They get nervous when you criticize donald trump. Because they think youd make a great running mate. A lot of people say it would be perfect. You could get him the independents and the kind of support that he would need in a general election. He seems to rule you out. You seem to rule that out. If he were to ask, what would you do . I am not interested in being Vice President. Im running to be. Neil if the lineup doesnt match you and its an impossible battle and cooler heads say trumphaley, that makes sense, thats a winning ticket, what do you say . This is what ill tell you, neil. Ill let you know. Maybe ill give you a tip when i pick my Vice President. How about that . Neil she doesnt have to worry about that right now. Maybe given the past history that donald trump wont be considering her. What do you think . I dont think its likely, although anything is possible. You remember in 2016, how many people hated each other. Ted cruz and donald trump were going next and neck. He was going after his wife. He ended up supporting donald trump. Also, you never would have expected mike pence to be somebody to team up with donald trump. Could be an unlikely pairing. I think what is most important to donald trump this time, unlike 2016 when he needed somebody to balance him out, now he needs a successor. Who is the next person to lead this movement. More likely to be someone like maybe sarah huckabee, elise stefanik. Tim scott is another clear choice. But i would not be surprised, anything and everything can and will happen when it comes to donald trump. So you never know. Neil yeah. Builter rivals can join forces. Great seeing you again, lee. Eric levine, an early backer of nikki haley. He was there to the bitter end. He didnt say after one race im out of here. So your disappointed. Clearly. Neil its Donald TrumpsRepublican Party. Will you support him . The starting port, does he want my support. If he convinces me that hes the right guy, then perhaps. Neil what does he have to do . The first thing he has to do is invite me back. He has to tell me that hes about the future and not the past. Neil when you say invite you back, not personally but the upset independent republicans . If he wants to called me personally, that will be fine, too. Neil hes not going to do that. You dont want him to suck up to you. If you donate to bird brain nikki haley neil so youre angry, bitter. Im not persuaded he can win. Im a little disappointed in him. Lets be clear. The option is not voting for joe biden. The question for people like me, do we vote for trump or do we stay home. What do we do now . The worst possible result is a joe biden presidency, a Chuck Schumer leader and a Hakeem Jeffries speaker. The best way to beat that trifecta in my view is to help republicans retake the senate. That map is great for us. We have a real good shot at doing that. I posted events for jim banks. I have one for dave mccormack, larry hogan in may. If we can win back the senate, we have gone a long way oh. Neil so you go in the voting booth, you pick every position except president. If trump doesnt want my vote if he wants to tell me he wants to get out of nato, i wouldnt support him. If he tells me that he believes that january 6th was a righteous protest, hes not going to get my vote. He hasnt changed his mind on those two issues. So it sounds like he doesnt care about your vote. He may not. If he doesnt care about my vote, why should i vote for him . Neil okay. Its right after i get that. Youre a candidate that you wanted to win didnt. So what do you do . Sounds like you dont vote for president. I will vote for president. Im waiting to see neil sounds like in that scenario you go for joe biden. Ly not vote for joe biden. So its donald trump. Neil donald trump has to ask for my vote back generally speaking hes not going to do that. What do you do . If he doesnt want my vote, its an academic question. Neil are you not going to vote for donald trump . As i said neil he wont reach out to you. I doubt it. If donald trump doesnt retract his statement about telling nato nations im going to tell russia to do whatever they want to you, theres no reason for me to vote for donald trump. If i want a failed foreign policy, i can vote for joe biden. Neil but you said you wont vote for joe biden. I wont. That may well be the case. Neil this is like an Abbott And Costello thing. I know who is on first. Neil very good seeing you. Well see if the former president calls you up. Former nikki haley donor. Not saying the guy looking like the likely nominee right now. Meantime, i want to go to the corner of wall and broad. If i had to go a choice of who would move markets more, nikki haley stepping out or that guy, Jerome Powell saying that Interest Rates are coming down, he didnt give an exact time frame but he was optimistic that they would. Nikki haley, nothing for the markets. But its fair to say that Jerome Powell did a lot for the markets and help boost Technology Stocks as well on the optimism that is building over Interest Rates coming down and the financial environment just moving up, up, up. Meantime, when we come back, were going to take a look at how the president of the United States is preparing for his big State Of The Union address, particularly when it comes to border issues that is probably front and center for chip roy. The thing that he wants to hear most about after this. There are so many tina feys i could be. So i hired body doubles to help me out. Splurgy tina loves a hotel near rodeo drive. Oh tina wild tina booked a farm stay to ride this horse. Glenn close . with millions of possibilities you can book whoever you want to be. Thats my line booking. Com booking. Yeah theres something going around the gordon home. Good thing gertrude found delsym. Now whats going around is 12hour cough relief. And the giggles. The family that takes delsym together, feels better together. Switch to shopify so you can build it better, scale it faster and sell more. Much more. Take your business to the next stage when you switch to shopify. Oooo. Trouble seeing, buddy . You should book an exam at americas best. Americas best. They have one of the nations largest groups of optometrists oh, youre. Very welcome. Americas best. Because eye care is healthcare and you deserve the best. This is not an Immigration Reform problem. This is not a solution. This is a ploy to exploit a terrible tragedy. This is being grandstanded . Tell that to the family. The American People have had it. Had it with a congress that refuses to do their job to check an executive, which is lawless and out of control. Americans are dying as a result of it. Namely mrs. Riley from georgia. Neil you know that chip roy and a lot of republicans obviously a good number of democrats furious over whats going on at the border right now. Goes from bad to worse and what he wants to hear from the president in the State Of The Union address. First to peter doocy at the white house on what were learning could be in that address. To you, sir. Were learning that President Biden he tinker with copy tomorrow night when he steps up to the microphone with the huge audience. Its unclear if they will look at the exit polls and see that border and immigration are more around more important. It doesnt sound like theyre going to add any big announcements about an Executive Action on immigration. No Executive Action would have been able to have the impact that bipartisan proposal would have had. Officials say they congratulate the one democrat that beat biden last night, Jason Philips in american samoa. Theyre not ready to commit to sharing a stage with donald trump. Now that the field is down to two, is President Biden going to commit to a debate with donald trump . Thats something for the campaign to speak to. We know when the debates will be. We foe where theyre going to be. Is he going to go . You should speak to the campaign. In 2020, once it goes down to oneonone, joe biden said i can hardly wait to debate him. How about now . Im going to sound like a broken record. You should reach out to the campaign. Just a few minutes later, donald trump wrote On Truth Social that he wants to debate biden anywhere, any time even if its hosted by the commission on president ial debates. That was a big Sticking Point for republicans. Apparently not anymore. Neil . Neil its odd though that donald trump didnt debate any republican opponents. Obviously hes keen on this. Well see what happens. Great job, peter. Chip roy joins us, the texas congressman on what he makes on this back and forth, particularly when it comes to the border. Congressman, the president is going to sort of blame you guys tomorrow night. Seems fair to say that you had this bipartisan quasi deal and fell apart. Its all your fault. Thats essentially it. What do you think . You have good handle on it. I came out of the House Judiciary Committee where we saw a preview from our democratic colleagues of what theyre toing to try to do. What you want hear from the president in the house chamber, you wont hear him talking about laken riley or hear him talk about their lives or hear him talking about the 2yearold that was killed in Montgomery County outside of d. C. Or the young lady that was raped in louisiana by someone that is here illegally. All of these individuals released in to the United States under this president s broken policies. Hes not going to want to talk about that human face. Hes going to want to hid behind legislation that as you know was being worked on in the senate. Yes, bipartisan, but with very few actual supporters that knew Border Security policy. Once you looked under the hood and you understand Border Security policy and you realize its attached to an 80 billion ukraine bill and you realize that when you see the language its going to codify the mass releases, the alternatives to detention, which is littered throughout the bill, that the catch and release that they all had exceptions, you realize the bill was going to make things worse. Youll appreciate this, neil. My colleagues will say youre doing the bidding of donald trump. You know me well. I dont do the bidding of donald trump. Im happy to say when hes doing the right thing, im happy to say when hes doing the wrong thing. Same thing of my democrat friends. I opposed the bill not because trump wanted political points. It was a bill that wasnt going to get the job done. Youll see that tomorrow.
