And Deborah Norville in studio 57. Her memorable moments from 25 years of hosting inside edition and her update on recovery from cancer surgery. Its wednesday, march 4, 2020. Heres todays eye opener. I told you when we got to super tuesday it may be over, well, it may be over for the other guy. Joe biden wins big on super tuesday. I tell you with confidence we are going to win the democratic nomination. Looking at our analysis, Michael Bloomberg is having a terrible night. Sir Paul Mccartney is not a pundit but he may have written a song that applies, cant by me love. More than two dozen people are dead. We could see a surge in our health care system. Coronavirus deaths in the United States continues to grow. The death toll stands at nine. We need serious leadership in our country at a time of crisis like this. The Federal Reserve is lowering interest rates, this is the emergency cut since 2008. Video shows two new jersey troopers pulling a man from a burning truck. And kemba walker with bullet this guy, right to the beer. That and all that matters. They dont call it super tuesday for nothing. This is valerie. Michael bloomberg failed to win any super tuesday state. The amount of mail weve been getting from the Mike Bloomberg, he is the bed, bath and beyond of candidates. We can report Michael Bloomberg has won the territory of american samoa. We gets delegates and full control of the girl scout cookies. Its not thin mints but its something. It was a very exciting night. It was. I stayed up and watched it. It was interesting to see how it all played out. Welcome to cbs this morning. Thats where we begin. As you wake up the democratic president ial race is a close twom twoman contest after super tuesday. Joe biden won nine of the 14 primaries, completing a remarkable turn around from a week ago. His biggest upset came in texas where he overcame the front runner Bernie Sanders. Mike bloomberg and Elizabeth Warren finished far behind. Biden also came from behind to win minnesota and massachusetts. Sanders did win three primaries and hes in a strong position in the biggest state of all, california. But this morning he is trailing biden in the delegate race, though many of the delegates from yesterdays races have not been allocated yet. Ed okeefe is covering campaign 2020. Joe biden wakes up today in a far stronger position than anyone would have thought a few days ago but senator sanders is not out of this. The state with the biggest delegate haul of the night california is leaning towards him, 34 for Bernie Sanders and 24 for joe biden. With fooi bidens wins across the rest of the country, california might not be the safety net that senator sanders was looking for. We are very much alive. Super tuesday jolted former Vice President joe bidens campaign back to life as he swept victories from new england to the south and the midwest. Those whove been knocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign. Biden even won in texas despite being outspent by senator Bernie Sanders by millions. Given the spread of support, sanders will stick pick up many of the lone star states delegates. You cannot beat trump with the same old same old kind of politics. Nearly half of the voters who made up their minds in the last few days voted for biden. Signaling that his saturday win in South Carolina and the endorsements from former rivals could have made the difference. What we need is a new politics that brings working class people into our political movement. Which brings young people into our political movement. And which, in november, will create the highest voter turnout in american political history. But that increased turn out last night, actually came in states that biden won. For example, in virginia. Turnout jumped by more than 500,000 votes from the 2016 democratic primary. The turn out turned out for us. While biden continued to lead among africanamerican and voters 45 and over, sanders earned support from latinos and voters under the age of 45. We are putting together an unprecedented grass roots, multigenerational, multiracial movement. The numbers didnt look good for senator Elizabeth Warren, who finished third behind biden and sanders in her home state of massachusetts. Im in this race because i believe i will make the best president of the United States. Former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg skipped the early primaries to concentrate on the super tuesday states spending more than 230 million of his own dollars on advertising there, but it didnt pay off. He came up short in states like North Carolina and virginia and only won the u. S. Territory of american samoa. In three months weve gone from 1 of the polls to being a contender for the democratic nomination for president. As for whats next, bloomberg is back in new york today and his Campaign Manager said theyll reassess going forward. As for now theyre committing to staying in the race, same for senator Elizabeth Warren. Could be a busy day. Lets dig deeper into the numbers with anthony salvonto. Long night for you. Indeed. Lets talk about two of the states where results have not come in, that is california and maine. How are they looking . Maine very close. California leaning towards Bernie Sanders p. He has the most delegates weve allocated so far but i think theres 2 million mail in ballots yet to come in. Its remarkable its close in california. People thought Bernie Sanders was going to run away with it. Joe biden big night for him, how did he pull it off . Were you surprised, anthony . I watched as the numbers came in, going what was happening. Havent seen anything like that. So like bob. Channelling bob there. When we saw the exit polls the first thing we noticed was the late deciders, people told us they made up their minds who to vote for in the last couple days after buttigieg and klobuchar dropped out and endorsed biden. All those folks, sometimes up to half the electorate in places like virginia, went to joe biden. So he took that support and strong support from the africanamerican vote and people who thought he could beat donald trump you had the early voters on one hand and then people who decided in the last couple days. In places they cast a lot of mail ballots, like california, texas, you might have expected Bernie Sanders to do okay. But then the same day voters the ones who turned out last night, yesterday, all for joe biden. Did peoples perception of joe biden change . I had people saying im in line, trying to decide. Is that bhawhat happened . He did have high favorables. But people decided they wanted someone that could beat donald trump even more than someone who agreed on the issues. Next week what are we looking forwards . I think the big play is michigan, its a battleground state, trying to argue thats where they can turn out democrats. And do it in november. Chief washington correspondent Major Garrett is looking at how last nights results could change the democratic primary still to come. Good morning to you, how does that line go, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated . I think joe biden is waking up feeling really good this morning. How does he keep the momentum going . Reporter have three more weeks like he just had. I know we wanted to leap forward in political journalism but we should pause for a second and remind ourselves what happened in this past week. Gayle you and i were in South Carolina, on that debate stage, joe biden said hes going to win the South Carolina primary. After the debate i asked how much . He said 1 is good enough for me. When he gets the jim clyburn endorsement, wins by 29 points. Pete buttigieg drops out, Amy Klobuchar drops out. Harry reed endorses joe biden. Basically discounting the caucus he helped create where Bernie Sanders clocked joe biden. And last night he gets democrats in massachusetts, virginia, texas, tennessee, alabama all to agree on the same thing, what is it . Joe biden should be the nominee. Thats one sensational week in american politics. Thats what he has to do again. Is that going to be easy . No. All these forces have coalesced behind joe biden, his task pull them together, hold them together and continue to persuade other democrats that he is the one and only person to lead this party. By my cal calculations Mike Bloomberg spent about 30 million per delegate won last night. What does he do now . Reporter he assesses. He could throw in the towel and say it didnt work. My sense is hell stay at least a little bit longer. I know theres a sense of massive futility behind the bloomberg effort for him it did not work out, at least last night. But the content of his ads is not about anybody in the democratic field, its about donald trump, what does it race, the issue to lead in a crisis. Were in one right now with coronavirus. That money may not have helped Mike Bloomberg but it does lay a predicate for later on. Bernie sanders has to broaden his support if he wants to be victorious, how does he do that . Reporter first you have to create a message that is more inclusive. And Bernie Sanders talks about what hes building, this multigeneration, multiracial coalition, last night was a good test of it, it didnt show up. He had decent numbers among some younger and some minority voters, but winning in california by not nearly the margin the Sanders Campaign expe expected. Its not a campaign known for retooling. Its the same message over su will be endorsing joe biden for president. That, once again now, closes in the moderate wing of the party but bloomberg getting out that quickly, he says he did the math this morning with his team, anything that bloomberg does is data driven they could see clearly there was no hope. The fact that virginia and North Carolina went so decisively last night for biden with no viability for bloomberg is a signal it wasnt going to work. What do you think is likely to happen to the Extraordinary Campaign apparatus that bloomberg has put together, some 2,400 staffers across 40odd states. As of last night he spent about 560 million, 233 million of that in the super tuesday states. He said the majority of his staff that hes built across the country would continue on. Many of those staffers are field organizers, the kinds of people that go out and figure out where to find votes for a candidate or a cause. He said that he would turn his operation over to the presumptive nominee who would be able to defeat President Trump. Bernie sanders has not necessarily said he would like that support, joe biden hasnt said it but we know could use the help in the financial point. Well see if bloomberg runs attack ads against the president or runs ads in support of joe biden specifically, thats unclear. But part of the reason these people were willing to take jobs from bloomberg was a, job protection through election day, but b, also the generous salaries and benefits theyve been getting as well. Are you surprised he dropped out so quickly. He said even if it didnt go his way, super tuesday, he would stay in the race. But i think he got a big dose of reality and said now this is no longer making sense for him to do this, and do you think h continue to financially support maybe now joe biden to followup on anthonys question . If he keeps to his word, then that is the plan, to continue spending money to defeat the president. Whether he does it explicitly for biden or does it just designed to bring down the numbers for the president remains to be seen. As you said, gayle, its exactly that, they looked at the numbers last night. They realized theres no hope at this point. That 402 delegates that the former Vice President has and bloomberg still back with just a few dozen is a sign at this point that it just wont happen because the Vice President now has momentum in big places like michigan, arizona, florida, illinois, places hes bound to do well because democrats like him do. Why not get out of the way, help make it happen for biden and see if hes able to put senator sanders away. He got in the race because joe biden wasnt doing well at the time and he thought he would be the one to save the Democratic Party. Thats another piece of the calculus that had to break in his way and it isnt now with joe biden doing well. If biden picks up bloombergs endorsement and staff, there are 2,400 workers on the Bloomberg Campaign spread across 43 states. In virginia, a primary state that joe biden won last night he had as little as a single field Office Opened up. If youre Bernie Sanders and youre hearing that Michael Bloomberg may be taking an operation of that scale and putting it behind your primary competitor, what do you do to keep it a competitive race . Sanders is going to plow on. Hes been able to raise significant sums of money. Hes out with three new Television Ads designed to make it a choice between sanders who says he wants to expand and protect programs like Social Security where biden in the 90s was in support of scaling back. But one other thing sanders is doing in a new ad is hes using the words and likeness of former president obama, who in just brief public remarks has said things good enough, frankly to appear in a 30 Second Television ad. Its incredible because sanders is running against the democratic establishment. Whos a member of the establishment but the former president. Well see how the contest shakes out. Bloomberg spent 17. 3 million in virginia, money cant buy you the presidency. Thats what major said last night, money cant buy you love. Thank you, ed okeefe.
