The other crucial debate. Clinton and sanders set to battle it out tonight in milwaukee. Were showing a live picture right now from inside. Again, were watching the Congressional Black Caucus event. The endorsement coming any minute. In the meantime, lets go to milwaukee, the site of tonights debate which is airing on cnn. We are there. Brianna. Reporter hi. 95 crucial minutes tonight for this debate. The narrative coming out of New Hampshire not good for Hillary Clinton, a stinging loss there. Good for bern nir saie sanders on a landslide and has been on a victory lap. Hillary clinton was down preparing for tonight. That tells you how important this is for her, trying to turn this narrative around. Well see more of Bernie Sanders emphasizing his idea that the economy is rigged. But Hillary Clinton needs to be something. It seems to me needs to create a moment or make an impact and we expect that shes going to be targeting, specifically, tayloring her message to hispanic and African American voters. Important in the primaries. A very different demographic diversity in these states compared to what we saw in iowa and New Hampshire. Behind me at the university of wisconsin milwaukee, youll see the debate taking place. The two on the stage at the same time, pbs moderating this National Debate you can see starting at 9 00 p. M. Were also hearing that Hillary Clinton campaign is going to take a much more aggressive approach to Bernie Sanders. What do you think that aggressive approach could look like on the stage tonight . Reporter i think the we got a preview of some of that from former president bill clinton in New Hampshire where he was taking aim at Bernie Sanders. I think Hillary Clinton largely for the months, going into this period in the race where things have tightened, you saw a lot of times she wouldnt talk about sanders by name. A lot of people who support her say this was the Campaign Making a misstep. That they allowed Bernie Sanders to define himself and that Hillary Clinton was sort of late to the game in defining Bernie Sanders. Shes been trying to define him as unrealistic both in the idea of Single Payer Health care, and also in paying for Public University for all americans who should choose to want it. I think were going to see more of that, but i also think shes going to try to emphasize what she has done for black americans, for hispanic americans and really try to show shes been doing this for longer than Bernie Sanders. Well be seeing him pushing back on that as well. I want to add david chalian. She was reporting something we noticed yesterday. Hillary clinton was not on the campaign trail. She was down. Bernie sanders was going around and was on the view. To me that says she was having important meetings and making important preparations for this debate tonight. Right. Certainly part of being down is debate prep. She does that often the day before a debate. But she told us before the results were in in New Hampshire through her interview, she said, its going to be time to take stock. And i have no doubt that that was part of what Hillary Clinton was doing yesterday when she was out of the public eye. She was taking stock of her campaign, of the path forward from here. They are looking at terrain that they believe is mored a van tajs to them not just in the next two stat states, but theyre looking thod march and looking at the delegate math. More closed primaries. Thats something that the clinton camp finds attractive, as well as states where they think she has a an edge right now. They look at the delegate map ahead and feel okay in terms of securing the nomination. They dont feel okay about the Sanders Campaign claiming theyve raised 6 million in 24 hours since he was declared the New Hampshire primary winner. And just clearly the momentum that he has right now, how to thwart that and make sure theyre retooled for the race. Even before tonight, another big event happening any minute is the expected endorsement of Hillary Clinton by the Congressional Black Caucus, a political arm of the Congressional Black Caucus. It looks like it might be happening right now. Might be filing in as we speak. Were going to bring it to you as soon as they begin. Theyll probably just setting up. Could be seconds away. As were waiting for this, david, the impact of this endorsement, you think for Hillary Clinton . Listen, this is a big deal, and obviously rolling out this endorsement just after he was knocked back on her heels with the New Hampshire defeat is a key message theyre trying to send as they look ahead to South Carolina and the African American vote there. Its also good morning. Theyre talking right now. Lets listen. In new york and chairman of the Congressional Black Caucuses Political Action committee. And i want to make sure that is clear. The Congressional Black Caucus, Political Action committee is the political arm, and separate and apart from the cbc who is theres republicans and others in the cbc, different than the foundation, different than other entities, but we are the political arm made up of 19 members of our board whose focus is electing democrats around the country because we believe when democrats are elected we become in the majority and many of these members here become chair people of various committees and the issues that are important to our constituents are better heard and made a reality when democrats are in the majority. And so we support not only African American members and american candidates. We support candidates across the board who will help democrats being in the majority. Thats our focus. And as a result, when we endorse candidates, we go around the country supporting the candidates so that we can make sure that the issues that are important to our constituents and we believe best for america are here in the United States congress to set policy straight. In our deliberations we believe that the partner that the cbc pack has sad over the years to elect democrats across this country has been Hillary Clinton. When we needed someone to come to rally, democrats, and especially African Americans and at the request of the cb cpa pa clinton has been there. When the issues important to our constituents, Hillary Clinton has been there. Shes been an outspoken person in regards of the empowerment of democrats, and the democratic agenda in its entirety. And so it is with that background that the cb c pac in its vote with no votes for mr. Sanders and two people an staining because of responsibilities voted to make sure that we endorsed Hillary Clinton to be democratic nominee and the next president of the United States of america. [ applause ] and so shes been our partner, long term. We believe shes made a difference and she has helped us and helped this country by helping elect democrats across the board. Im going to stop there for now and bring up a member of the board, gk butterfield from north carolina. [ applause ] let me thank the chairman and the board of the cb c pac for allowing me to say a few words in my capacity as a board member. There is no part of a democracy regardless of whether its in this country or any other forwardthinking country. No part of a democracy thats more important than choosing the chief executive and choosing the commander in chief of the military. This is very Serious Business. This is very Serious Business to the cbc, Political Action committee. Thats why were here today. We live in the greatest and most powerful nation in the world. The United States of america. Though we are 5 of the worlds population, our economy is 25 of the world economy. We have the greatest military on the planet. But over the years we have struggled as a nation to develop and emerge as the envy of the world. We have turned the corner in this country on race relations. No longer are African Americans considered property or second class citizens as we were. Through the years we have faced huge challenges and many more challenges lie in front of us. The right to vote was given to African Americans in 1870. It was taken away in 1900. It was restored in 1965, and the process of taking it away again began in 2013. And so we are engaged in this election as we have never been before. We consider this election, this president ial election to be the most important election of our lifetime, and thats why the vote on the cb c pac board was so overwhelming and near unanimous. Every american should pause to consider the consequences of the president ial election. We must have a president who is knowledgeable on both domestic and Foreign Policy. Our new president must understand that too Many Americans languish in persistent poverty every day. Black lives are being lost on the streets of america from Police Misconduct and gang violence. Our hsvus are diminishing. Joblessness continues, too many black americans are unemployed and underemployed. And so, ladies and gentlemen, we must have a president that understands the racial divide. Not someone who just acquired the knowledge recently, but someone who understands the racial divide and has lived it and worked through it down through the years. Someone who has experience in bringing people together for a common purpose. We need a president who doesnt simply campaign and just promise wonderful things but things that are politically impossible to achieve. And so the cbc Political Action committee as evaluated. We have evaluated both democratic and republican candidates who are seeking the office of the presidency. After considering the entire field from top to bottom, there is no question in my mind and our minds that one single candidate, one, possesses the qualifications, the experience, and temperament to be the next president of the United States, and that person is none other than secretary Hillary Clinton. Mrs. Clinton has demonstrated her leadership skills. Shes demonstrated her knowledge of not only Domestic Affairs but Foreign Affairs as well. And we care about Foreign Affairs in the Congressional Black CaucusPolitical Action committee. Shes labored all of her adult life in various capacities, and now shes ready to occupy the highest office in our country. We are honored today to endorse secretary clinton as a democratic nominee and the eventual president and commander in chief of the United States of america. Thank you. [ applause ] also a member of the cbc board, the questi youve been listening to the members of the board giving their endorsement a full throated endorsement to former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton. Words like partner and she can make a difference. Words like outspoken. Words like standing up for democrats. Well talk more about that in a little bit. Absolutely. Lets continue on this discussion. Lets bring back in David Challian and paul brathway. Paul, this is a big deal. This was a full throated endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Your take. Yeah. This is a very welcome endorsement for the clinton campaign. Obviously when you have members who are willing to step forward and say theyre going to give not only their moral support but their time and effort and to go to the states on supertuesday and to go to the states in South Carolina and nevada on her behalf, i think is welcome to her. So its a big deal, and these members represent millions of americans across the country, and for a large part of the African American community, they look to members of the Congressional Black Caucus. On the screen there, the only elected member, democratic member from alabama, went to school with the president and the first lady. And is a rising star. She can only be helpful to secretary clinton in her efforts for the nomination. David, gk butterfield, he said that Hillary Clinton understands the racial divide. He said he need someone who understands the racial divide, not just someone who discovered the issues. When he said that, kate and i both were like, wow, that seemed to be a pretty harsh blow on Bernie Sanders. Clearly trying to point out that Bernie Sanders is although has a history of civil rights activism that weve learned about, has not been known to be closely aligned with the Congressional Black Caucus in his days in congress and certainly one of the big challenges, one of the Big Questions about Bernie Sanders candidacy Going Forward because hes been running in vermont, he hasnt had to have the Proven Ability to court and win black votes. So no doubt that chairman butterfield there was trying to draw a contrast. Just looking at this event, i look at this and think back to 1998 for a moment and bill clintons impeachment, and how critical the Congressional Black Congress was in terms of backing bill clinton and bolstering him at a time when he was knocked back. Its interesting to see the endorsement rolled out in advance of the South Carolina primary with the critical African American vote, but two days after Hillary Clinton was knocked on her heels. Not only is it an important endorsement, but its a shot in the arm for her to receive this kind of support after a pretty crushing defeat on tuesday night. And shes not there. Shes on her way to milwaukee for the debate tonight. There was a release from the Campaign Making sure we were all watching this, because its important to them. David and paul, thank you so much.
