I am jose diazbalart. Its Super Tuesday, and right now voters are casting their ballots in 16 states and one u. S. Territory. It could mark a decisive moment. Nikki haley is looking for an upset. Trumps name will be included on every republican ballot, 24 hours after the Supreme Court handed him a victory saying no state can bar him from the ballot because of his actions on january 6th. We begin with our national correspondent, steve kornacki, at the big board, and Vaughn Hillyard covering the Trump Campaign, and ali vitali joining us from the road covering the Haley Campaign. The big picture to keep in mind, yellow, you see the republicans, and 1215 is the magic number to win the nomination. The big thing to keep in mind are the rules in the states, they are designed to determine a winner. Demographically there are a lot of suburbs, Big Sprawling Suburbs in california. Nikki haley has done well in big, sprawling suburbs. You may say this could be a reasonable target for haley, but the rules in california, its a closed primary, independents and democrats cant vote, and haley, thats the back of her support, it has come from independents and democrats so far. The rules also in california, a simple majority, 50 plus one, you get all the 169 delegates. Texas, 161 delegates. Its not quite winner take all officially, but winner take almost all the delegates. Between the two states, trump could get 300 plus delegates dont just between the two states. You can see hes taking a giant step towards 1,215. Oklahoma, arkansas, alabama, the demographics here, trumps base, rural, bluecollar white working class, white voters without a college degree, and they dominate in the states here on the republican side. Pretty close to winner take all. Trump padding his lead there. Where could haley make noise tonight . A couple places to look. First, vermont. Trump only got 32 of the vote when he first ran, and no Party Registration in vermont. If you think of yourself as a democrat or independent, you are free to vote in that primary. And then outside washington, d. C. , huge concentrations there, suburbs with White College educated voters, and they have been friendly to nikki haley so far. If haley cannot win statewide, she can collect delegates in virginia and minnesota, and could be doing that in vermont as well. Vermont and colorado as well. Even if shes doing that, making noise in the states, and the rules in the other states and the democratic nature of the other states, unless haley pulls off monumental upsets and outright wins in trump area, she will get buried in the delegate math by the end of today. How is the nikki haleys Campaign Feeling about the burial Super Tuesday . They are not looking at the burial prospects, and instead focusing on the optimism they are seeing on the ground. The fact they see those voters that said they would go to biden or just as soon stay home. If that kind of General Election calculate, and they are staying in the race through Super Tuesday in large part because they think trump is not electable in a general just lost ali vitali, who is on the road. We will try and reestablish communication with her. But i want to go to vaughn, because trump was handed a victory by the Supreme Court yesterday. What is trump looking at Super Tuesday with . Reporter if i may, jose, offer ali defense, shes putting more miles on the car than any president ial candidate this Super Tuesday, so kudos to her for the work. Trump has been hanging out at maralago since he got back to town on saturday. He had two Super Tuesday rallies in North Carolina, and last night he went on a right wing outlet in which he took questions and largely focused on taking on joe biden and the democrats this november, and he phoned into fox friends this morning where he shoved aside a Peace Making Deal with haley. I think its important for americans to understand that the Trump Campaign is largely has largely looked past the primaries. And they believed their data showed they would be able to wrap up the nomination with enough delegates to meet that threshold, but now they are looking at march 12th. If you go back to eight years ago, donald trump, he had to square off against ted cruz all the way into may. It was states that are voting today where donald trump lost, and that included places like texas, arkansas, colorado, maine, minnesota, oklahoma, utah. Compare that to where we find ourselves today, and nikki haley is barely able to compete, and as steve outlined is looking to compete in Congressional Districts, Like Northern virginia, and its not a matter of winning states. Trumps campaign and the Campaign Style includes the rallies where he continues to express all kinds of well, for example, just on the issue of immigration and the humanitarian crisis at the border, hes bringing up issues that are geared toward who . Reporter they are geared toward turning out a part of the american electorate he thinks he can win with. Lets be clear, jose. Donald trump, at least according to his data, doesnt see any major pushback to the nearly year and a half Campaign Rhetoric he has deployed to date including saying that immigrants poison the blood of america, and the Trump Campaign likes exactly where they find themselves in the head to head with biden, and they feel they will be able to appeal with the independent voters that also have concerns over the migrant crisis and concerns over the way they view the economy, and they believe they will be able to turn out even more voters, those trumployal voters that maybe did not come out and vote in 2020. When you are looking at the swing states like michigan and wisconsin and arizona and georgia, they believe theres an untapped part of the trump loyal electorate this go around, and its that rhetoric, donald trump being donald trump that could win him the election and he doesnt have to go and placate the likes of nikki haley voters, and he could be eager to see them over to joe biden or a potential Third Party Candidate in november. Donald trump has shown us how he has run over the last year and a half, and theres no reason to suggest he will change course. We have reestablished communication with ali. Where is the Haley Campaign heading tonight . A lot of it must have to do with resources . Reporter we are out here making the case for why infrastructure is so important and why the investments in Rural Broadband needs to be amplified. We are going to charleston, because thats where we are told haley will be spending time in today, and we think its the final rally she will give, and i say that because its the last public thing on her schedule that the campaign has told us about. We believe she will be taking in the results somewhere in charleston, likely where she has a residence, and what happens after that is anybodys guess. The point of resources, thats something that could end a campaign. For haley, shes in an interesting position oh. Oh, just that interesting position, and then we lost her. Shes literally on the road. This is live television. Thank you, steve kornacki, Vaughn Hillyard, and ali vitali. We will take a short break, and later we will go to california and break down the states most hotly contested race in decades to replace the late senator feinstein. In alabama, the drama is in the judicial races, and several of the Supreme Court justices that made their ivf ruling are on the ballot. Now, a quick look at what is on the mind of voters in utah. Were here in utah, home to Brigham Young university. The republicans are gearing up for caucuses tonight and we want to talk to young voters about what matters most to them, and then religious leaders and how faith forms their political decisions.

Today virginia is holding an open primary, which means people can pick what party they want to vote for when they show up at the ballot box, and its a state where haley is hoping to beat expectations. And gary is traveling and joins us. What are you seeing there . Reporter jose, we are heading towards response veina. Heres what one voter i talked to had to say. What candidate do you think is best suited to deal with the issues i dont know at this point. I just really wish we would focus on the issues and not all the other stuff, so thats kind of what is blurring it for me, and up to this point i feel like we have not been focusing on that and i want to see more action, you know. Thats it for me. Reporter now, this frustration with the Democratic Party may help nikki haley, because as has been mentioned earlier in the show, the areas of virginia that nikki haley can do best in will be the suburbs of richmond and the suburbs of washington, d. C. And the area around charlottesville. Thats an area where if she picks up anything in virginia, its going to be there. As we are looking at who is supporting the two candidates, donald trump or nikki haley on the republican side, both candidates were in the commonwealth of virginia this past weekend, and the get out of the Vote Campaign has not been there, that is nowhere to be seen these days. It will be interesting to see how much of the Republican Party does get out to vote, and who will be voting for nikki haley. Thank you so much. We got you covered with even more states on this Super Tuesday. Up next, one governors race in North Carolina could make history. First, lets check in and get an update in vermont. Vermont is one of the States Nikki Haley is hoping to do well in today. It has an open primary, meaning anybody can participate. Besides New Hampshire governor, the only sitting governor to endorse nikki haley is vermonts republican governor scott. Why always the couch . Does he need to go to puppy school .

A major Social Media Platform several Social Media Platforms disrupted this morning. Thank you. Now Shaquille Brewster joining us. How are voters feeling about this race . Reporter well, this is a race that is expected to be one of the most competitive gubernatorial elections, and republicans see this as an opportunity, especially during a president ial Election Year to flip control of the governors mansion. The state that has gone republican in the past president ial cycles, so a lot of attention is being focused on that, and today is the primary so this is the opportunity for both parties to have their say and put up who they believe would be the best candidate to go on and take on the opposite party in november. I will tell you, based on the conversation i have been having with voters, while that is a focus for many of them, a lot are talking about the top of the ticket. You have folks saying they are backing nikki haley, and donald trump, and some coming in and supporting joe biden, although its not a democratic race. I think trump is a special guy at a special time. Why nikki haley . Two reasons. I think, one, she would do a good job. And two, i think donald trump is a threat to the wellbeing of our country. Reporter why President Biden . He is the right man for this time. He has we couldnt have wished for anybody better in my mind because he has tremendous experience. Reporter theres over lap in the president ial primary and the governors race. Former President Trump just this weekend putting his thumb on the scale of that, backing and Giving Robinson a full endorsement. Hes an outspoken here in North Carolina, and some voters are uncomfortable with him being on the ticket in november, thinking it could help democrats in november. Its a sign that its not just a president ial but lots of races folks are coming out to vote on, jose. Thank you so much. Voters are also heading to the polls in texas today. We are keeping a close eye on the primary for the 18th Congressional District. And our next guest is facing a serious challenge today. Lee has m
