Good morning. We begin with breaking news. Were just learning that president obama plans to announce his nominee to replace Supreme Court justice antonin scalia, who died in february. The white house says the president will make the announcement at 11 00 a. M. Eastern time in the rose garden. According to reuters, the president s nominee will be either sri srinivasan, who if nominated would be the first indianaamerican, first asianamerican, and first hindu justice on the Supreme Court, or merrick garland, who became chief judge in 2013. Most Senate Republicans have vowed not to consider anyone the president puts forward. Senate republicans have vowed there will be no hearing and no votes for a new justice until president obama is out of office. Of course, nbc news will have live coverage of the president s announcement when it happens. Another primary tuesday, another big night for donald trump, and an even bigger one for Hillary Clinton. Trump dominated if florida, winning by nearly 20 . After getting crushed in his home state, marc marco rubio suspended his campaign. After tonight, it is clear that while we are on the right side, this year we will not be on the winning side. While it is not gods plan that i be president in 2016 or maybe ever, and while today my campaign is suspended, the fact that ive even come this far is evidence of how special america truly is. Governor john kasich had a big win, taking his home state of ohio, along with all the delegates in this winner take all contest. Its also his first victory this season. Trump took North Carolina in a close one over ted cruz. Kasich follows in third. Similar results in illinois. Trump with a slightly bigger victory over cruz with kasich next. Now, its interesting to know voting was suspended in part of the state for some time due to a tornado threat. Trump is also the apparent winner in missouri in an extremely close contest with cruz. Less than 2,000 votes separate the two. It was a clean sweep for Hillary Clinton, winning in florida, nearly doubling the votes sanders received. Clinton had a surprise victory in ohio, which is a setback for sanders. Clinton also won handily in North Carolina, 121 delegates up for grabs there. For much of the night, the race in illinois was too close to call, but clinton is now the apparent winner. And a similar story in missouri, with clinton narrowly edging out sanders as the apparent winner by roughly 1500 votes. In her victory speech, clinton pivoted toward the general election and upped her attacks toward trump. We are moving closer to securing the Democratic Party nomination and winning this election in november. [ cheers and applause ] when we hear a candidate for president call for rounding up 12 million immigrants, banning all muslims from entering the United States [ booing ] when he embraces torture, that doesnt make him strong, it makes him wrong. Clinton picked up 363 delegates to sanders 282, increasing her overall lead. There are still 46 delegates remaining to be allocated from tuesday, mostly from florida and illinois. John kasich picked up 75 delegates, 66 from ohio. Speaking from his home state, kasich urged pundits to not count him out just yet. You Better Believe its about america, about pulling us together, not pulling us apart. It is about usa. Even though i labored in obscurity for so long, people counting me out, but we put one foot in front of the other, and i want to remind you again tonight that i will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. Kasich still has a long way to go and is mathematically unable to secure enough delegates before the convention. Meanwhile, trump was able to increase his total, edging closer to the 1,237 needed for the nomination. Most people said ill never run. Hes just going to have fun. Hes having a good time. This isnt necessarily i mean, im having a good time. Im having a very nice time. But im working very hard, and there is great anger. Believe me, there is great anger. Theyre not angry people, but they want to see the country properly run. They want to see borders. They want to see good health care. They want to see things properly taken care of. They want our military rebuilt. Very, very importantly, and they want the Second Amendment by the way protected and protected strongly. And thats going to happen. [ applause ] and you know what they want so badly . They want our veterans taken care of. I just want to say, were going to go forward and were going to win, but more importantly, were going to win for the country. Were going to win, win, win, and were not stopping. Were going to have great victories for our country. Political analyst and bestselling author joins me now to talk about all of this. Good morning. Good morning. Big night, huh . It really was. Kasich wins ohio. Yes. His home state. Not a huge shock, but could it be likely were headed towards a brokered convention at this point . I think theres a pretty good chance. I would say more likely than not. And let me tell you, its going to be wild. The rules are up for grabs. No one knows whos going to elbow out each other. I mean, there really could be a lot of drama left between now and july in cleveland. No shortage of drama. The rules have been up for grabs all along. But donald trump has some 600 delegates left to clinch this thing. Can he win outright . He can. Certainly the math is there. But you know what, hes not winning everything. Not all of these are winner take all. So its likely that both john kasich and ted cruz will get some of those delegates. Its going to be pretty tough for him to get over the top. More big news is how well Hillary Clinton did on the democratic side. She slammed. She swept this thing. How did Bernie Sanders lose that momentum, and does he have a shot at all at this point . Its really frankly pretty hard to see. A week ago, after he won michigan, surprising clinton, i think shocking clinton would be even fair, there was some sense that, well, you know, how different is ohio . How different is illinois . Let me tell you, she stopped him cold last night. After michigan, we really thought hed do better in the midwest. Those states, theres a lot of frustration. The economy hasnt bounced back quite as quickly as in some other parts of the country. But, you know, he just came up short. They were close. A couple of them close. But not enough. One of the biggest things that is sort of one of the many surprises thats come out of this election year, theres no shortage there, is how these endorsements havent made that much of a difference. Where do rubios supporters go . Can it make a difference . Can it tip the balance . There were clearly a lot of Republican Office holders and others who are not happy with trump. They dont really like ted cruz. Theyve been looking for person after person. Jeb bush, marco rubio. Kasich is really whats left. But youre absolutely right. Theres no evidence that any of those endorsements have made much of a difference this year, or frankly all those millions of dollars they raised. What results did that produce in florida . Not much. Certainly never helped jeb bush with all that money. A lot of people tearing up this morning, i think. Speaking of something that might make you tear if this bothered you at all, theres a new poll that shows that a majority of americans really support this ban on muslims entering the country that donald trump has proposed at times. No matter where you stand on the issue, does this surprise you . Yes. I mean, the fact that it the numbers are as high as in the poll youre talking about, yeah. You know theres an audience of that kind of view. But let me tell you, it goes a long way to explaining donald trump. He didnt win by accident. There are obviously some kind of bells hes ringing that applying to a lot of people. Its a weird year out there. All right. Ellis, you summed it up best. Its a weird year out there. Thanks for joining us. Now to some historic flooding in the south. The torrential rain has ended, but the disaster from rising flood waters is far from over.
