[000:00:00;00] the millions of voters have gone to the poles in the us for super tuesday the most important day in the presidential primaries the i'm how much i'm doing this is out to 0. live from don't have also coming up is real, has to maximize every possible means every possible method of getting assistance to people who need in the us secretary of state says with humanitarian situation in gaza is unacceptable and unsustainable. no let up in israel's bombardment of the strip

a cease fire talks in cairo and without an agreement gangs in haiti's capital. try to seize the main airport to prevent the return of the prime minister are real already has reportedly arrived in for to read the we begin and the united states were pulls are closing and super tuesday voting. that's one of the most important days in the election year. 15 states and one territory are conducting nomination contests for the republican and democratic party candidates, joe biden, and donald trump are mostly on challenge this year. trump is just one to contest in virginia defeating nikki. haley is only challenger, he has secured at $273.00 delegates so far. they need 1215 delegates to win the republican nomination. and the democratic side. joe biden has one in 3 states, north carolina, vermont, and virginia. he's got no real challenger,

it's patty cool. hanging joins us now from richmond in virginia. so patty virginia was an important state for nikki haley. how are things shaping up for her now? well i have to say this is probably the least super of all the super tuesdays that i've covered because it was pretty much a foregone conclusion. but you're right. it was very important for when were you in a bathroom, nikki haley in the state of virginia, and here's why it's open primary. you don't have to be a registered republican to vote in the republican primary. and we actually saw 30 percent of those republicans order said that they were independence. 10 percent of that. they were democrats. so it looked like hailey might have a big when we don't have all the numbers yet. but with a 37 percent of the votes cap got counted, trump is at 64.9 percent is a 33.2 percent. so a good showing for haley centers and she's done in most places, but it's probably not going to matter in virginia. they have

a rule that is you get just over 50 percent of the both the throughout the commonwealth in over 50 percent in each of these rational districts that you get the delegates. so we don't know exactly where all the votes are still coming back in. some places favor hailey better, such as like the suburbs of washington that our northern virginia they tend to be voting for haley. but as of right now, yes, trump is projected to take. the republican pri apartment are here for the job. i again, not surprises, not very soon. and, and patty, based on what you've been seeing and hearing speaking to voters, what are the major issues that have been most important for voters in virginia of the you know, it's coming here to virginia. the reason why we're here is because reproductive freedom changed everything in the commonwealth of virginia after the supreme court basically got rid of the were the law that are the ruling that said limited

abortion to be was a lot of nationwide. the 1st really big test was in virginia, is the entire general assembly was up for re election. democrats looked like it was gonna be a tough job to flip just because of the way the mounts were drawn. but they did, they flipped the house of delegates and they've been able to block the republican governor from putting any reports and restrictions in place here. so coming here, i thought perhaps a portion would be the driving factor, but really, everyone, i've spoken to every poll, i've read every interview i've done, it's the economy. and you can see why if you walk around, this is a medium sized city, which means i was walking through the streets and so many streets more than not had rows and rows of shops and restaurants that have been closed or been speaking to people here. and i say, said what is going on? i don't remember which meant looking like this. they said it's the pandemic for businesses just couldn't keep up. the restaurants closed in a lot of those small bits. shops were family businesses. and so it's just an early

empty town. and so if you think about it, people are looking around and they're seeing what the economy physically looks like . and then they're going to the grocery store and they're paying a lot more than they were dividing. first of the office, so the economy overwhelmingly. the biggest issue less here in the commonwealth is that it is nationwide, but still the 2nd thing substitutes are number 48 or 9 percent of people saying that that's where you drive their vote. that says, this is going to become much more in focus as the general election gets closer because donald trump is very clear. he wants a 16 week nationwide fan of courses. so in $21.00 states, now there's some limitations around right band, and then this would impact all the other states if he is elected and was able to get republican controlled congress. so not the key focus now, but it might be as we get closer or at least a much bigger, what else we get closer. all right,

that sounds easier as practical hand live from richmond, virginia, and thanks so much patty. from virginia. let's now head to florida. that's where the republican front runner donald trump is at the moment. and alan fisher is live for us from west palm beach allen. the results that we've seen so far suggest that trump, despite all of his legal, was despite all of the court cases that he's facing, that he cannot be stopped from clinching the republican nomination, right? a zone, a glide pass to secure the nomination and he's going to do it and record time with the record number of delegates. he's got to get to 250, no man, but he is only last one contest and that was in washington dc. at the we can that only left thing, limited numbers in tomato lago, but there's a lot of people they are ready for the party. they're hoping to hear from donald trump in the next hour or so. certainly they'll be very pleased with his

performance. i'm people that i've been texting with over the last couple of hours, are hateful that there will be a clean sweep of all 15 states and territories on super tuesday, which i think would be on handle 4. normandy to context, but doesn't include the incumbent. so you can see just how the big the support is for. for donald trump, the he claims that 94 to 96 percent of the republican party of with them from the figures that potty was talking about. it looks as if it's not quite as much as that, but what it's clear is that the republican party for the, for so long the, the old dame of american politics is not very much in the hands of donald trump. years ago, he entered politics as a sales style disruptor, fighting against the democrats and the republican establishment. donald trump is the establishment, at least for conservatives,

effectively seizing control of one of the oldest political parties in america. this was a hostile takeover. and so what you are seeing are people who are not necessarily republicans, but you are seeing people who are trapped loyalists. and so they have taken over the republican party despite losing a presidential election in 2020, his control is not even stronger. it punishes this loyalty, the new republicans feature in the house of representatives our street was elected while the one trump support. if one moment summed up crumbs complete control over his party, it was this. mitch mcconnell and good trump when he criticized them perusal in the january 6 the sold on capitol hill. what do you notice? he was stepping down as the senate republican leader renewed his party, changed many false. mister understanding politics is not one of another. the who parked the mechanism the odd and see the republican national

committee is expected to pass from someone who was loyal but no more well enough into the controlling hands of a huge trump supporter. i'm from his daughter in law adults in law, who said she would spend every penny to help donald trump in 2024. that was enough to under one republican. donald trump is now turning the republican party into his own. trump still faces 90. 1 criminal charges across 4 separate court cases to supporters doesn't matter. they believe he's being politically targeted is pulling numbers go up. he makes frequent stumbles and errors doesn't matter. his numbers go up. and there's a warning to those who think if trump loses, then the republican party goes back to what it was. over the next 234, possibly even 5 presidential election cycles. people attempting to try to emulate

donald trump and his profit get ways. most republican, both to see the light comes policies. i'm well, many suggest the wish to talk to you to another stand to be the, the new for the moment. he's the only game in time. nikki haley was all over virginia, north carolina, vermont. all the states, but essentially holding contests on super tuesday. and the reality is that she hoped that she might be able to spring some sort of upset. but donald trump's footprint during the campaigning for super choose, they was much more contained the few big events. i'm not kind of shows is confidence that he thinks he's got this thing low top. now those $91.00 charges over 4 cases, me will change the whole dynamic because remember, there's a long time between now and the election in november. but nikki haley said she

would stay in desperately till super tuesday. but it looks as if she's going to end the day with nothing to point to nothing to hold onto nothing to suggest that there is going to be the most unlikely as the political comebacks in american history. instead, the clock is no ticking on nikki here. least presidential campaign onto the presidential ambitions. all right, that's out here as alan fisher live from west palm beach florida. thanks so much, alan. alright, let's talk down to john henderson in raleigh, north carolina. john, north carolina is a key swing state and the results are now in there. what more can you tell us the? well, the race has been called by the associated press for both joe biden on the democratic side. and for donald trump, on the republican side with the numbers are so early that we really don't have a good day. right now. i'm at a party for democrats in raleigh,

the capital of north carolina. just starting to get the program going here. and i, i imagine in the background, you're going to hear a bit of celebration to the fact the president biden is already the one that know i'm an agent or have been called for that nomination. and it's important that he come out with strong numbers with a strong turn out because north carolina is a state that is not voted for a democrats or presidents. it's for rock obama in 2008, and it's for him next time around. so you're looking for a strong result. here's a big cherry for that enthusiasm because it's an up. normally the republican rims, donald trump is one. the past 2 races for these margin has dropped. and that's because a lot of new people have moved to north carolina and they go to the urban areas in the suburbs, and that's where democrats do well. so democrats are hoping to to donald trump post when it for 3rd time. john, north carolina is

a good example of the disparities that exist between urban and rural voters. talk to us about the issues, the voters. there are most concerned about pets, right? if you look at a map of north carolina and the republican area areas are always colored in, read the democratic areas are colored on the fluids with the individual election nights. most of the state is read and that's because the little areas which are sparsely populated tend to go heavily for the republican, the urban areas for the democrats. and so you really have an urban and rural poll here. and as i said, those are been areas growing and cause what we found is the number one issue here by 43 percent of the people who were asked are way out of the falls, was the immigration for the economy is always a huge issue. 31 percent of the economy and the numbers for job i have been pretty

strong since he became president unemployment. there's fire, it's narrow down to 3.7 percent or just below the average metric after metric as shown. the same thing. inflation has been on 9 percent at one point, it's now down to 3 point one percent. that's also below the average. so we have a strong story to tell. but there's a lag of 6012 months for, for voters. few of the improved also impose these events. they believe the truck did a better job by and by the end, they're not happy with the way the economy is going now. for jo, buying, the good news is he's got several months before that the general election in november in order for those members to improve that for donald trump and those numbers are looking good for you. all right, a lot of factors in play there. thanks so much for breaking it all down for his john. that's all just as john henry and live for us from raleigh in the us state of north carolina. as of last month,

biden's approval rating has dropped to about 37 percent according to a reuters. if those poll says 2021 has been below 50 percent, that's typically the threshold for incumbent candidates were seeking another term. and now issues with age and mental competency, you have dominated bivens campaign. kimberly how get reports. us president joe biden has always been known in washington as a man who speaks his mind. don't listen to rumsfeld. he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. but since his election in 2025 and his mind has shown signs of slowing down and, you know, initially present mexico, c. c did not want to open up the gate to law. he met the president of egypt, not mexico, but mixing up world leaders names. occasionally. i'm able to recall basic facts and even his walk all signal that it 815 in is every bit showing his age

as the oldest president in us history. in fact, it's a concern for many american voters. definitely not something i really like the political powers from the ninety's and stayed in for too long. finding has plenty of good news to run on. the economy's improve steadily under his watch growing 3 percent in just the past year. his popular trillion dollar infrastructure bills creating jobs and revitalizing the nation's roads, airports, and bridget's still biden's. declining cognitive ability is overshadowing his accomplishments. the white house's countering this with a social media campaign, including take talk videos to attract younger voters and down play perceptions about his age. your kidney. biden's team says there's no need to defend the president's mental acuity. the president doesn't need a cognitive test. he passes the cognitive tests every day,

every day as he moves from one topic to another topic. it's not like 5 and will likely be facing a young opponent come november. wow. all signs indicate another match up with former us president donald trump. but at age 77, the trump also struggles publicly at times to remember basic information. despite donald trump's own advanced stage, it hasn't stopped him from mocking president biden on the campaign trail he's called provide and to take a cognitive test, something the white house says is unlikely. kimberly hell kit algebra 0. the white house. all right, i'm joined once again by jennifer victor, a professor of political science at george mason university. she's in fairfax, virginia. and let's bring in james davis, who's a republican strategist joining us from miami beach, florida. jennifer, so it's no surprise the president biden is winning democratic primaries today,

but how much support is joe biden losing due to his unconditional support of israel and, and how buildable has that made him i think it's a primary stage. it's very hard to know the answer. to that question, there are certainly a reasonable number of democratic voters who are logging some protest votes against joe biden. these are others who may have otherwise cast their vote for him in the primaries, but are otherwise voting. and none of the above or no contest or, or some other choosing some other option on the ballot as a way of indicating their displeasure and, and perhaps some weakness in his overall support. however, we know that voters who are really engaged at the primary stage are voters who are definitely likely to be engaged at the general election stage. and the idea that those voters as displeased as they are with joe biden and his israel palestine policy. the,

the idea that many of those democratic voters would wind up being trucks voters in november. it's kind of a stretch at this point. james, based on the results that you're seeing thus far, how strong of a super tuesday do you expect donald trump to have as well, like many of the early states where you have lots of poles, we have very few poles going into the super tuesday. but with all of the senate leadership in the house, leadership, congress lining up behind trump with endorsements and the early results and the limited following that we have. i expect that he'll do pretty well. and if he does well, i think, you know, he will not have enough to clench the nomination. we're only talking about 14 percent of the delegates has been tallied so far in the previous comments as today will be at 35 percent of the delegates. it will not be enough to give the 1215 to get the concepts, but we'll put them in a command and control if he does do well. i expect to launch sort of a beat stakes

a sort of an audition for the celebrity apprentice kind of thing. and that's what trump is. that is best when he's a showman and i would lean into it. i would run with it if i were them. and that, and that really energized as the base, which it looks more more with donald trump and with joe biden on the ticket. it would be a base turn out election that plays well into trump st. jennifer james was just talking about trump space being energized after super tuesday. i want to ask you a few things that biden's bass will be entered re energized after super tuesday. are we going to see supporters? previous supporters of president biden, who may be frustrated with him right now, but in the general come back to the fold and support. and i think many of the those voters will eventually come around, but i think it's going to be a little while before we expect to see that show up in pulling. by the time we get into mid summer, i would expect to see some of those numbers showing up and pulling. but look, joe biden has not had

a contest in this primary. and so it's not unusual that he is not getting some full fledged support. he hasn't been out on the campaign trail much. he is starting to use some sort of gets more. we did see his vice president, pamela harris, come out the other day with some remarkably different language regarding israel, palestine, and area where the binding ministration may be vulnerable with democratic voters. but i think we should also expect to see the democratic party really doubling down on reproductive politics and, and help the politics of health care and so forth coming in to the general election . so as sort of uncontested and slightly boring. the super tuesday primary is because of the sort of for gone conclusions here. i think we're going to see the exact opposite in the general election, which is likely to be much more competitive in this a re match up. james, there have been polls that suggested the trump is facing certain vulnerabilities and among those potential vulnerabilities, the fact that he has so many legal what was the fact that he's facing so many court

cases and so many charges? i mean, is that something that could potentially turn off a large contingent of republican folders, a 100 percent? yes, absolutely. that absolutely could turn awesome voters. i think um, you know, the reality of the is that the base for uh that uh, the republican party and even some independence if you look at the previous polls around all of the criminal cases. and some of the cases, like the album brand case, the case in georgia, there have been, you know, new news and new fax. it comes back to us fast, and many boulders in those polls. even independence say that some of these cases are politically motivated. and so that actually has been a boon for chop in many cases, but it will certainly so impact, you know, a number of those independents in the middle. and potentially, you know, some of the republicans who are turned off by trump's, you know, rhetoric or,

you know, just maybe him as it has a person. but at the end of the day, at the end of the day, this is going to be a contest between do you like the economic policies that you see under job? i mean, do you like the border crisis that you see the like the international affairs and the way that that's being handled. and then people have a fonder memory right now of things in the trunk gears because drop haven't been in the headlines other than some of these political cases. he's actually take getting a little bit of a softer approach in the media. and the cycle can i give credit to his team, who is a really good team, has done a great job and running this. and actually he's extra lots of more discipline and this campaign jennifer, i want to get your thoughts about nikki haley staying in the race. many people have been surprised as she stayed in this long. how much longer can she stay in the race? i mean is, is she essentially done after super tuesday? i suspect that's a matter of how long it takes for the remainder of her funding to dry up. so i

don't, i, i, i'm not going to speculate i, i suspect sometime in the next couple of weeks. so i would expect, certainly by the time we get to mid march or so when, when donald trump has amassed enough delegates to lock the nomination for themselves, i wouldn't expect her to will last in the release in the race too much longer than that. that being said, i think what she's doing is solidifying herself as the alternative to of trump. you know, if you think back to the 2016, the 2020 primary campaigns when there's mostly 2016 campaign when there was a large field of republicans who were buying competing with donald trump for that republican nod. and we started off the 2024 year with a fair number of republicans in competing. and donald trump, even though she was the clear front run the throughout the whole thing. and she's really narrow that down to, to place herself as the trump alternative. and the fact that she has stayed in this sort of losing high periods, so to speak,

for so long suggests that she is positioning herself to be the one that the party turns to whenever they decide they're done with trump. whether that's uh this year or, or in 4 years or whatever that is. all right, that's jennifer victor and james davis. thanks so much for coming on with us here. and i'll do here a, we appreciate it. thank you. the mouse has presented this proposal for a ceasefire agreement to mediators in cairo, a senior official says they're now waiting for a response from israel, which did not send a delegation to the tox. let's see, may, then it'll be the what the enemy has fail. search eve on the battle ground, it will never achieve on the negotiations. people how people's vision and aspirations will, must be achieved results, a complete ceasefire of the withdrawal of israeli forces from all parts of casa. i'm the allow immediate access to aid and released our people in the gaza strip.
