Older than most, the chief judge of the Appeals Court long seen as a moderate and paul watford, the courts third africanamerican. In making this, president obama sentntn email to his supporters saying hes doing his job and its time f f the senate right across the street here to do theirs. Thers little chance of that. This is about to become like Everything Else a partisan war. George. Got that right, tey. Youll be anchoring our special coverage. 11 o 00 a. M. Relts. A strong showing for Hillary Clinton, the democratic frontrunner winning the marity of tuesdays races. Her campaign, well, they broke out in song. It goes on and on and on strangers waiting and donald trump had a big night too wins at least three states, but john kasich kept his hopes alive by taking all the delegates inis home state of trump to wrap up the nomination early. Kasich was in the zone. His campaign sent out this video of him making this shot and, you know, after seeing that we were condering if it was a lucky shot, so we went to the source and this is what we found. He made at least three in a row. His campaign not theyre saying this is a whole new ball game and that this race very good. And the knicks are also reaching out. One way or the other hes going to have a job. We reached out to the sourcrc to make sure. All right. Were covering every angle as you can imagine for the race for the white house. We have tom llamas in palm beach, florida, this morning. Reporter good morning. Donald trump calls this the biggest story in the wore. A political oututsider bringing in new voters winning and knocking off seasonedpoliticians. Now, the field is smaller today, but trump may have to take this fight all the way to the donald trump wanted to deliver a knockout employee and overnight he nearly did taking at least three of the five states including tuesdays crown jewel, florida. Even trump was shocked. Nobody has ever, ever in the history of politics received the kind of negative advertising that i have. Mostly false, i wouldnt say 100 but about 90 . And you explain it to me because i cant. My numbers went up. I dont understand it. Nobody understands it. Reporter the trump train ran over the competition everywhere, but ohio. A confetti bomb rained down on Ohio Governor john kasich after his big win there. I will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. [ cheers and applause ] reporter kasich who has virtually no chance of reaching the number of delegates needed to win the nomination outright is hoping for a contested convention. Well, guess what, tomorrow [ cheers and applause ] and then im going i dont know all over the country, okay. Reporter in florida trumps victory silenced senator marco rubios campaign. While we are on the right side, this year, we will not be on the winning side. America is in the middle of a real political storm, a real tsunami and w should have seen it coming. Reporter cruz who picked up delegates but no victories call calling on rubios supporters to come to his side. Only two campaigns has a plausible path to the nomination, ours anddonald trumps. Nobody else has any mathematical possibility whatsoever. Reporter now donald trump says hell unify the Republican Party. Theres only one problem. Exit polls last night show 44 of nontrump voters say theyre not going to vote for him november. George, hes going to need those republicans on his side if he wawas to beat the democratic many to, thanks. Lets talk to mr. Trump. He joins us by phone. Ahead in missouri as well. How do you wrap this up . Well, i think they just callll missouri. I think we won missouri also, so we had four wins last night whh is a great feeling and we just keep going. I mean, its i think we do it before getting to the convention, frankly, i think it shouldnt be that hard. But we i think well do fantastically in arizona. We have the backing of sheriff joe, popular guy out there and lots of others and i think well do vy well. You still have to win more than half the delegates Going Forward to wrap it up before the nomination. Both your opponents say they can block you before the convention. So what would it mean if you go in with the most delegates but dont get the nomination . Well, i think that would be very bad for the party. We have people that are, you ow, very for vent and they love what were sayingng. Theyre joining the party. People that never voted before. Theyre some of our biggest fans weve brought people into this democracy of ours and its really an amazing thing to watch. Millions and millions of people and thats really the big story. I mean, the big story is how many people are coming to t polls. Were up 70 . Some of the statese had 102 increase from what it was four years ago, so theres a tremendous fervor out there and i think the republicans and the leadership of the republicans should grasp it because youre going to win in november if they take advantage of it. If they dont take advantage of it, if they play games, if they say, well, hes 50 votes short and therefore hes not getting it or were going to give it to somebody that got thrown out of the primary in the second week, youre going to have a problem. Theres going to be a tremendous theres going to be a tremendous problem, i think. What do you say to those four in ten republicans who went to the polls last night and said they would seriously consider a third party if youre the nominee . Well, i understand what theyre saying because its been a very xough campaign. Its been a very Nasty Campaign and the somebody else may not be in the race anymore. And there are a lot of hard feelings and so i understand it, but just let me tell you a Third Party Guarantees not 90 or 99 , 100 0 hat yourdids will win, probably hillary, i guess its hillary, looks like it if she gets to the starting gate which she probably will, frankly, but it guarantees now you have four Supreme Court judgeships coming up that means they would take over for 50 years probably this country will never be the same and probably will never should the senate give president obamas choice a hearing . No, i dont think so. I think they should do what theyre doing and wait till the next president and let the next president pick. I uld do i would do that. Finally, mr. Trump, you mentioned Hillary Clinton. She took aim at you last night in her speech and is already looking to the general election. She condemned what she called your bluster and bigotry and said youre not strong, youre how would you counter that in a general election . Well, i dont think hillary has the strength or energy to be a great president or to be president. I really dont. I mean, i understand where were coming from. I understand exactly what im saying. She does not have the strength. She does not have the energy and i thininshe would be not a very good president and i think it would be a big mistak i think in many ways shell be an embarrass many look at what shes going on with her emails. Shes under federal investigation. I think she would be a major embarrassment for the country. Thanks for joining us. Thanks very much. George, speaking of Hillary Clinton, going to the democratic race now and she had a big night overnight. Sweeping Bernie Sanders in at least four of the races. Abcs cecilia vega has the latest of the shes also in palm beach, florida, for us, of course, one of the states where clinton was victorious. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning. It was a huge win for Hillary Clinton and a big blow for Bernie Sanders. While he is still vowing to carry on with this campaign, she needs to move forward in locking up this nomination. It was a night that had Hilry Clinton beaming. Thank you, florida. Thank u, North Carolina. Thank you, ohio. Reporter a sweeping win leaving clinton and her thing. We are moving closer to securing the Democratic Party nomination and winning this election in november. Reporter clinton now closer than ever to closing the deal. If we win in november, i know our future will be brighter tomorrow than yesterday. Reporter the win in ohio surprising even her own campaign. But now shes focused on another rival. When we hear a candidate for president call for rounding up 12 million immigrants,anning united states, when he embraces torture, that doesnt make him strong, it makes him wrwng. [ cheers and applause ] reporter Bernie Sanders in arizona not once mentioning the loss. Dont let people tell you that you cant think big. Reporter or what comes next. You do not have to accept the status quo. Reporter clinton telling me shes in no rush to ask him to drop out any time soon. Its his campaign to run any way that he chooses. I went all the way to the end against barack obama. Im not ever going to tell anybody that they should step out. Reporter and proof that Hillary Clinton is alalady looking ahead to a general election, a new ad that she released in arizona, its about immigration and robin, i can tell you it features one of her rival, not Bernie Sanders, but donald trump. Got that. All right, cecilia, thank you. Abcs jon karl joins us with the race on those allimportant delegates and, jon, lets start with the democrats. The results yesterday, how does well, robin, a huge night for Hillary Clinton. She won four of the five states, still waiting on missouri and that means she won last night the lions share of the delegates. Look at this, 408 delegates to just 237 for Bernie Sanders. Where does it leave the race now . Hillary clinton so far is twothirds of the way to getting the delegates she needs to clinch the nomination. She is getting close to a mathematical lock on this. Bernie sanders would need to win all the remaining states by a landslide to catch up with her. As we know, jon, not as clear cut when it comes to the republicans and the delegates. Not as clear cut but this was also a huge night for donald trump. Hes won three of the five states so far, missouri also still close to call. He lost ohio but look at the delegates. The lions share of the delegates going to donald trump last night. Kasich coming in second with 75 and in terms of where he stands so far he has not a big a lead than half the way. As for john kasich, that huge win, you saw the confetti in ohio, he would need, robin, 101 of the remaining delegates to clinch before the convenention. 101 . Thats hard to do. Yes, it is. All right, jon, thank you. George. Okay, here with matthew dowd our political analyst. Lets begin with the republicans. Donald trump has a clearer path to the nomination. No guarantee though he can get that 1,237. He said he can unite the party. Big job. Huge and as we saw in the exit polls hes got a problem with the nontrump voters. The folk if they were to take out trump are a huge problem. The trump voters, many wont vote for a nontrump candidate. One thing that is fascinating, contested convention we have not seen a second ballot and two things have changed. One, the voters are now involved. No primary the last time we had a contested convention and, two, technology and tv. A contested convention in this most unique thing weve ever seen. Donald trump, if he has the lead and they take it away for him disaster for the party. It would be aisaster in cleveland. I think that basically were at th precipice of the Republican Party being broken already. Hillary clinton wrapped this up . Yes. He got no psychology and energy out this so i think shes well on her way and will be the nominee. Matthew dowd, thanks very much. Back to robin. Another big headline, that Severe Weather slamming the midwest. Storms, twisters ripping through the region overnight, 20 Million People caught in its path. Ginger, of course, is tracking it all for you. I start with the picture of the willis tower. Lightning striking downtown chicago. At least 50 storm reports from missouri to michigan overnight.

After a night of Severe Weather in the prairie state, this morning, officials are still assessing all the damage. Winds in excess of 70 Miles Per Hour destroying numerous homes and structures. The severe winds ripping this barn apart. These horses hitting the highway. Cars creeping along roads as they take a hammering from golf ballsized hail. In leroy, illinois, a inch of hail on the ground and fog rolling in making for a ghoulish scene for those still on the road. Theres nowhere to go to get inside. Reporter in iowa, hail hitting so hard, drivers taking shelter. That storm is still creeping to the north and east right now in wisconsin. These things rotate counterclockwise and behind this storm, thats where youll find the biggest next hazard and that would be wind. Some of the gusts with wind advisories could reach up to 60 the dakotas. Much more coming up. Thank you very much. We turn to amy with the mornings other big headlines. And a nightmare for commuters. It really is, robin. The second bigiest subway system in the country is shut down, the d. C. Metro closed all day for safety inspections nearly nearly 750,000 without a ride to work or school.

But thankfully he was not inside and no one was injured. And proof that watching the news can change your life. Matthew chapman will receive a 100,000 reward for notifying police after he spotted two inmates who had escaped from jail. He recognized the van and them fros news reports. Hes a selfdescribed news junkie and guess what, the money couldnt have come at a better time because chapman was homeless but he is now using that money to start a new life. He also said hes going to give some money to his Adult Children who are struggling, as well. Thats great. The guys are behind bars. He did the right thing. Did the right thing and something good happened for him. And now an exam of what happens when you complain. John kasich won big in ohio but he hasnt always gotten for his showing for his 100th town hall in New Hampshire last month, he got about, what, ten pieces of confetti that were dropped so what did he do . He complained and when he complained, his staff, they turned it all around and they delivered. Look what happens last night. An avalanche of confetti for his huge win and im pretty sure the gop candidate, hes drowning in a big victory from last night and i think hes still trying to find the confetti all over the place.
