and very nice glasses. i'll be back later today with kate bolduan, 04:00 p.m. eastern for special coverage of super tuesday inside politics with dana bash, start right now >> on inside politics, it's a tuesday to remember americans in more than a dozen states across the country are casting their ballots. this super tuesday, the decisions could end the primaries ease and then all but hand the republican nomination to donald trump, or a third straight election plus, is this nikki haley's last stand? he's on the verge of mathematical elimination. so what's her next move and more importantly, where we'll her supporters land. >> and >> four years ago on super tuesday joe biden pulled off a staggering political comeback. this time, he's an incumbent president preparing for a rematch with monumental consequences, will look at morning sirens for both men with eight months to go until

the general election. i'm dana bash. let's go behind the headlines and inside politics first up is the biggest primary day of 2024 it could end with the general election matchup that most americans say they don't want 865 republican delegates are up for grabs in 15 states across all time zones, right now. donald trump has 276 delegates. the magic number to look for is 1215, which means as of tonight, the former president could be on the cusp of having the delegates he needs to clinch the nomination. cnn has full team coverage on this crucial de kristen holmes is in palm beach, florida where donald trump is hosting an election party and kylie at work, kylie atwood rather is in charleston, south carolina where nikki

haley is spending the day. kristen, i want to start with you. what are you hearing from your sources inside the trump camp? >> did trump's team feels very confident going into today, they believe that while they know he's not going to be the nominee after tonight, that he's going to get enough wins. he could possibly be the nominee by next week. and by that, i mean, cross that delegate threshold and that was really on full display when donald trump did an interview with fox this morning take a lesson >> i want everybody to come together. we're going to have a unified party because our real opponent happens to be named biden. there's no path for her to win it. whether you she likes tearing that or not there's no path for her to win no matter what >> so what i want to focus on as him saying there's a unified party because this has really been part of the annoyance on trump's team that haley hasn't dropped out. they understand that there are some people who are just never going to back donald trump, even republicans who are never going

to back donald trump, but they do believe at that there is a section of republicans, of conservative voters who are still looking for an alternative. so haven't gotten behind the former president. they want those people to come behind him before they pivot into this general election because they know that no matter what happens, it's going to be an incredibly tight election between a rematch between president joe biden and donald trump they are going to need all the support, every single vote that they can possibly get. so what they're focused on right now is how to get those people who are maybe still looking at haley to come behind donald trump as they start looking ahead to november. >> yeah, we're gonna look at some of those numbers in a minute. i don't know who's going to win tonight, but you, kristin and kylie we're about to get two are tied for the best live chat locations of the day. that is for sure, kristen, thank you kylie, let's show them what we're talking about. you are in charleston, south carolina. nikki haley is at home there and south carolina, she does not have any events planned tonight. i was talking

to her on the show on friday okay asking which super tuesday states who is going to be on. she said she would be back home. what does that tell us >> well, listen, the fact that she wants to be here in her home state is telling she wants to be with those close to her this is not a state that is voting today. let's just remind folks, south carolina already had its primary a few weeks ago and when nikki haley's asked about the longevity of her campaign beyond the super tuesday, she often says that she's not thinking that far ahead her campaign last scheduled rally was last night in texas. of course, they could schedule more, but there aren't any more on the calendar as of now, and she was asked earlier this morning on fox if she will draw it out, if she doesn't have a successful showing tonight didn't commit one way or another, but two-third protective of her supporters, listen to what she said >> i don't know why everybody so adamant that they have to follow trump's lead to get me out of this race. all of these

people deserve devotes 16 states want to have their voices heard. they don't want to be ignored, they don't want to be just said that that's nothing. they're actually quite something and they want something different in our country and i respect them tremendously for that now, back in january around the time of the new hampshire primary, nikki haley's campaign pointed to super tuesday >> presenting fertile ground for them because 611 of the 16 states and territories voting today have open or semi-open primaries. but when nikki haley was asked if she's relying on democrats and independents to boost her today. she said no, she pointed to the fact that only 5% of her supporters here in south carolina where democrat, so she has certainly not i've been trying to speak specifically to democrats and independents though we know that moderates have really boosted her along the way here. and another thing to watch dana is that over the weekend haley indicated that she no longer feels bound by the commitment she made last summer to support the eventual republican

nominee. she said that the rnc now, is it different rnc than it was when she made that pledge and she gave another reason today for not feeling that bound to that pledge, saying that trump never signed the pledge. and so therefore, she doesn't have to necessarily uphold that pledge. she says it will be her decision as to issue will support that eventual nominee or not. but right now, her and her team are really focused on what happens in all these states on super tuesday. yeah. and she clearly feels that she has some leverage when it comes to where her son orders. i may go and you could see that in the way that she is answering or answering those questions differently than she has in the past. thank you so much, kylie, from beautiful charleston. appreciate that. i wanted to talk about all of this with my great panel on the super tuesday, the washington post's isaac arnsdorf, margaret talev of axios, bloomberg's mario parker i don't know. margaret, we were coming on air. she said, does it feel like super tuesday? i'm going to actually now after listening to them,

i'm gonna go with yes. okay but it was >> what you're looking for today more well, i mean, look, we all know where the numbers are going, even if donald trump doesn't hit those numbers tonight, he's on a path, it seems are reversible. a few things i'm watching for obviously are in virginia, those results are going to be important. they're going to tell us quite a bit about how college educated, suburban, ex-urban voters and around metro areas feel about the fall lines in this race and whether they can stomach another trump term or whether they really want an alternative. so that will give us some clue at carolina's similar yes. north carolina is interesting for so many reasons. this is democrats hoped it would be the most battleground of trump's states i'm not sure. it's tracking that way, but the governor's race is going to be very interesting, especially if the current lieutenant governor becomes the republican nominee for governor. so we'll be watching that contests. and then of course, in the california senate race, i think that's the other race will be watching on the democratic side.

>> that's a >> fascinating one for sure. isaac, you are on the campaign trail with donald trump a lot exclusively, maybe so i want to ask about some of the things that kristen was touching on about how the trump campaign is looking, not just at what the results tonight tell them, but also kind of big picture, assuming that he is the nominee, how he gets some of the nikki haley voters back the new york times poll over the weekend told us a lot of interesting things about the national snapshot right now. one of them, everyone focused on biden and what it said about biden. but there's a lot in here about donald trump as well question is whether or not republican primary voters, how they feel about donald trumping the nominee 48% enthusiastic, 32% satisfied, but 18% are either dissatisfied or angry. if you look at that and against that backdrop listen to what

donald trump said about people who aren't quote, unquote maga. he said it over the weekend in virginia >> i'm lucky that i'm able to explain it to the public because if you weren't able to explain it the public wouldn't know. they believe what they see so i don't want to win this way. look, i want to win based on my policies are better. we're going to cut taxes, we're going to get interest rates down they say always tried to demine. well, maga really represents 48% of the republican, but now it represents 96% than maybe 100%. we're getting rid of the romneys the world. we want to get romney's and those out >> the ram is of the world still exist. >> and >> they're going to be put in a position of having to choose from three choices. trump, biden. i mean, i guess there are others, if they live in a state where there's an independent on the ballot or

stay home what are you hearing from people in the trump camp about statements like that from their candidate? >> well, and that's really the argument that nikki haley is making. it this is that she is representing a significant constituency here. that's not going to go away, but he's not exactly according them with those statements. >> well, he's you know, if you look back to new hampshire when he was all about it was supposed to be his night and he was so mad about what haley did that it was all about her versus michigan when he came out, he didn't mention haley at all and they've been trying to look ahead to the general focus on biden, just ignore haley maker, grow away and but you're not seeing a ton of short of maybe letting off the attacks on haley. you're not seeing a ton of outreach toward the voters who haley is speaking to. those voters who you heard haley talking about? energizing her to want to stay in the race >> isaac's point, i mean, i think if you look at one of the questions right now is what does haley du from here, right?

she doesn't have the delegate math to go forward, et cetera, >> but if you look >> really closely, what she is doing, est your point, dana, creating some leverage, right? donald trump, the art of the deal is cetera bringing that to the tape. we know that he's he's bleeding support in the suburbs among independents et cetera. he's going to meet the full coalition of the republican party in november. no matter whether she has 15% of that slice, 10% of their slides. when she go to the table at mar-a-lago, i say hey, hey, i may or may not endorse you. what can you give me in return >> and then let's look at the other side of the aisle. the democrats and the new york times had a story today that kind of encapsulates some of the frustration by the president and his team the headline is do americans have a collective amnesia about donald trump, the frenetic pace of the trump years met many americans made trump news and obsessive habit or tune it out completely. the rat-a-tat-tat volume can coincide it with the

continued rise of solid algorithm-driven siloed, excuse me, algorithm driven social media and shrinking attention spans. that environment created a kind of numbness that not even 91 felony counts or norma civil penalties for defamation and fraud can break through. if the biden camp is frustrated about not being able to get their economic message through point b, option b, or bullet point b, is the fact that they just can't believe that americans don't have the same type of angstrom row, donald trump that they had in 2020. what's important to remember in 2020, election was held in the backdrop of pandemic. the most impactful racial reckoning in the country, about 50, 60 years as well and they just can't seem to stir that anx against donald trump. there's this sappy of view among the electorate and we see that borne out in polls as well, where they're not hitting donald trump for presiding over covid instead, they're remembering those low gas

prices that were attributed and it to the lord. >> and during that's the amnesia that they're talking about. and margaret, >> the other obvious difference just like to be completely captain obvious here is that joe biden has been president for four years and they see him through that lens and they see him through his approval numbers have gone down as some incumbents tend to deal with when there are tough times. and so that's he's the opponent to donald trump, not just the former vice president who's been in private citizen for four for years. that's it. i think you can look at the lessons of 2016 and say that one of the mistakes that the democrats made was spending too much energy talking about why it shouldn't be trump, but not enough energy articulating the case for yourself. you don't want to repeat that mistake. on the other hand, you don't have a race where voters are essentially seeing president biden and former president donald trump as two incumbents running against each other, which is like a weird thing to say, but that's what it is. it's a race against you in comments and trump's advantage

is not that people loved his chaos or his legal stuff, or the way he treats people are his personal. all these things it's that they were their memory goes back to a time, either pre-covid or early covid, where they felt were many rank and file voters felt like they had more money in their pocket of the end of the day and that against the current specter of inflation, you can talk about how the stock market's doing and unemployment rate. but the bottom line is, the prices of goods every day or in people let's heads. yeah. and joe biden has not figured out the psychology of how to message that and how to how to tell people, look, you need to compare apples and oranges, or you're not going to get what you think you're going to get like he has not figured out how to make that case and you've got two candidates very weakened by their own problems. grasping onto the weaknesses of the other to have very well said, well, he's got eight months to figure it out up. next, we've talked about nikki haley. well, she went anywhere tonight. we're going to take you out west to one of her best

opportunities and look at the road ahead for trump's last challenger standing >> anderson cooper, 360 tomorrow at eight on cnn. >> we had to take our old gas heating. that was a huge project. i was so overwhelmed. so i started contacting people angie, to work with people that knew what they were doing. it was a game changer. >> get started today at angie.com. >> this is your invitation to experience the elevation of electrification in some of the best offers yields like models at the invitation to alexis sales event >> one second, grandma, this guy's going to buy my car. >> okay. do you need car bomber entering plate number no accidents, right? >> no. >> january maybe offer guard mama can pick it up tomorrow, but an amazing offer. >> sell your car the easy way with carvana beautiful and

>> west to utah, which in the past has been a little bit less. i wouldn't say a lot less trumpy than other deep red states. that's where cnn's brian todd is a brian. what's the mood there? do people on the ground there feel more of affinity or more pulled to nikki haley, or is this maybe going to >> be more of the same and what we expect to see an other states tonight well, dana, that's a good question, and it's kind of an unknown here because donald trump has gotten lukewarm support here in utah >> in past caucuses and past elections. first, i'll set the scene for you. we are the foot of the beautiful wasatch mountains here. take a look at that view here in sandy, utah. this is a caucus site that we're going to be covering tonight. this is alto high school here in san diego, just south of salt lake city. this is a place where 32 precincts are gonna be holding a vote tonight, and the voters won't even start gathering here for almost eight hours at about 06:00 p.m. local time, 08:00 p.m. eastern time, 32 precincts and 32 different rooms are

going to be caucusing just inside those doors. there. and we're going to be covering it live have you mentioned nikki haley's support here. here's her advantage here we talked about trump's lukewarm support here in past elections, donald trump lost the 2016 caucus here in utah handily to ted cruz. that wasn't even close. also, nikki haley has picked up some support here campaign to your last week. the governor of utah, spencer cox says he doesn't like trump or biden as candidates. he does like nikki haley, but he is not fully endorsed her yet. but his wife, abby cox has endorsed nikki haley, lieutenant governor deidre henderson has endorsed nikki haley. so those are haley's advantages in addition to the mitt romney factor, mitt romney of course, the retiring us senator, still a very popular figure here and has been of course, very harshly critical of donald trump for years. so will the mitt romney factor play into this and will haley support elsewhere play into this that could happen. the advantage that donald trump has here tonight is that this is they state run excuse me, a

party-run caucus here. the republican party is running the caucus that tends to draw more committed republican voters and those tend to be a little bit more conservative. so donald trump may have the advantage. there tonight, we're going to see how it all plays out and we'll be able to show it to a lot of our viewers. who is live when the votes being counted here data. >> okay, i would say you're maybe runner up for best at live shot location of the day. not when you said well, you said was amazing, were just talking about the backdrop. i'm kidding. it's gorgeous there. thank you so much, brian. i appreciate your reporting. let's get back to our panel and talk more about the nikki haley of at all tonight and let's just look at the numbers the math problem, isaac, that she has 865 delegates at stake tonight. but when you look at what's going to be awarded by the end of tonight, that 421 in winner-take-all states, 195 and winner-take-all congressional districts 238 proportional delegates so assuming that

donald trump gets the vast majority of that, and remember, it's 12, 15 >> we've been doing that yeah. weeks already. and, >> you know, but this is what we've been doing it for weeks, but this is the biggest pot of delegates yes, it's just math. >> just >> not seeing a path for horvath but but my point was that just it's we've already been struggling to >> see where she was going with this what, you know, what her what she was playing at and what she was still in the race for and i'm getting answers like, well, to be president was like, but, but where's the path? and but i was moved by what she said in michigan that 40% is not 50%, but it's not nothing. and that she is really clearly feeling like she is running for this substantial republican coalition. that is that is not voting for trump and wants to be giving voice to that. >> it's not nothing. but if you

just look at the math because that is where we are right now, 43% of the proportional delegates tonight that's her highest margin in any state so far. that would only be 100 out of 850 plus yeah. and just >> speaking with the trump campaign is mourning their workshopping language around avalanche of delegates right there trying their hardest to try to push her out of the race so they can fully and more officially pivot to this general election. they're reminding us quite consistently about the fact that they've about seven days out before they hit that magic number, et cetera. they're now casting nikki haley as a thorn in president of former president trump's side and a hindrance to his being able to gain some type of momentum against biden and margaret. >> let's go back to the not nothing comment because the question that we were talking a little what about earlier that that is going to be even more in focus after tonight is how donald trump is going to get those voters and whether they will even come to donald trump.

our jeff zeleny has been in north carolina talking to voters plus in their haley voters. let's listen to at some of what they said >> somebody is lurking behind the scenes coming out with an alternative. but if not i would vote for joe biden never done with trump in a heartbeat. i hated voting >> for trump last time, but i'll do it again with my nose plugged. i just can't believe though that what we had to choose from. >> i've been intrigued for a while now at the whole notion of it have a legitimate third party >> so as you're watching this, you could say it's nikki haley trying to be the future third-party candidate or is nikki haley trying to recapture the republican party if trump is not, it becomes the nominee, el'ad not able to win again, and it is that ladder. but so i mean what she has been doing is establishing herself over these past number of weeks as the standard bearer of the opposition inside the republican party there's the. liz cheney model and there's the chris christie model, and

neither one of those is established to be the standard bearer of a future nominee of the republican party, at least not right now is how it looks. that role is available and she is positioning herself. she's trying out for that role and if if trump is resoundingly reelected this time around and manages the server for years without getting impeached multiple times, without there being a crisis, then i don't know where nikki haley is in 2028, but if if any of those pieces don't fall into place, if he becomes the nominee, but cannot get reelected if he were to become real and it were to be a disaster. she is saying the things now that she will go back and look to later and say, i told you i told you this was a risk for the party out. are there elements the republican party that used to be elements of the democratic party, the working class, the elements of populism, the rust belt there are elements of the republican party that are out in the wilderness right now that nikki haley is a part of the ties to corporate america, the respect for the establishment, the strong national security. she

is seeking to hold on to that aspect of republicanism and to try to re-brand it down the road. >> you have a real quick well, the problem with i told you so gambit is that she doesn't have the last word there and you've already got all these republicans saying, every day she spent every day she stays in the race hurts trump against biden. every dollar she spent is $1 spent helping biden. and so the story in response is going to be well known. it's not that you told him let's hope is this is your face. >> you made it happen? yeah. >> very interesting. thank you so much. appreciate it coming up. the cookie monster has had enough no no no, no, no. all known to you online. he says his favorite >> food is shrinking and he's not alone in the white house's message to cookie monster and the rest of the world about so-called shrink inflation. >> that's next >> tonight. super tuesday, 16 races, one consequential day

shrinkflation is just one of the pocketbook issues that could find its way into the state of the union address on thursday today, the white house is announcing a new strike force tasked with cracking down on price gouging and everything from groceries to prescription drugs is on the list. arlette saenz joins us now from the white house. arlette, talk about this task force. >> well, dana, this is the latest attempt by president biden to try to show americans that he's working to lower cost in junk fees that they face in their everyday lives. this so-called a strike force will aim to try to curb illegal and unfair pricing on everything. as you mentioned, from prescription drug prices to health care, to groceries, the presence expected to speak about this a little bit later in the afternoon when he meets with this competition council here at the white house, i wanted the centerpieces of the announcements today is this effort to slashed credit card late fees from a current average of $32 to $8, that would save americans who are paying these late credit card

fees about $220 a year. there's about 45 million americans who for paying these late fees. and it would add up to a total of 10 billion in savings over one year for the entire country. it's just one of the efforts of the president has tried to make to cut junk fees, which is expected to be a key focus of his state of the union address on thursday, we're told that the president is expected to lean heavily into this the argument relating to economic populism, talking about raising taxes for corporations and to the wealthy as well as trying to lower prescription drug costs and other everyday costs. it all comes at a time where they're trying to move the needle with voters specifically on the issue of the economy with many voters still feeling that they feel they are worse off now than when president biden took office. >> and arlette, the white house is reacting to a string of unfavorable polls. what are you hearing? >> yeah, president biden actually just a short while ago, tried to claim to reporters that he has been leading in the past five polls

that have been released, saying that the news media doesn't pay attention to the polls where he's ahead. but if you take a look at our cnn average of polls, of polls, it's found that there's no clear leader in this race with 48% supporting trump and 46% supporting biden in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup. now the campaign has long said that it's still very early in this campaign to be fretting about polls, but there is anxiety amongst some democrats about whether president biden will be able to pull this off come november >> arlette. thank you so much joining me to talk about this and the general election campaign that is about to be in full swing. democratic pollster and a greenberg and republican strategist alex conant. i want to start anna with you about the idea of what the white house, as we gear up for the state of the union later this week is clearly trying to focus on hit the areas where voters are feeling at the least when

i, when i say it, it's the economy getting better. i know you are working on a lot of congressional races, many of which are in not just swing districts, but swing districts in swing states. what data are you seeing that backs up, if any, this kind of move? >> well, i think it would be foolish not to talk about the economy, particularly when you see the poll numbers that we've been seeing, not just now, but really since he's been president and his disconnection between what the macroeconomic indicators say now people are actually feeling so as the president who's overseeing the economy, not talking about it is nuts in certainly he has a lot of really important accomplishments to talk about. but i would also just say is if you look at the 2022 election and think about july when inflation was at its highest and gas prices or $506 a gallon it turned out that election wasn't about inflation. it turned out if you ask people why they voted democratic, they voted democratic because of abortion. and because of democracy. and if you voted republican, it was immigration and crime and also some degree inflation. and so i also think we should not overthink this right, and really think about what are people actually voting

on in 2022, sorry, in 2024, going back in time, what are they voting on in 2024? and is it actually going to be about the economy because it wasn't in 2022 and it wasn't in 2023 and it wasn't in new york three, where democrats just want to be when i mean, as you answer that, i want to know what you think the voters are going to go to the polls about one of the things that was most striking and worried a lot of democrats over the weekend was this new york times poll, if you went inside one question, how have the candidates policies affected you? only 18% said biden's policies have helped 40% said trump. trump, that's part of the democrats called the amnesia of the trump years biden the flip side is also not great, hurt me 43%, for biden. >> and i think that's inflation, right? the reason that biden is talking about inflation this week, even though the official inflation numbers are pretty good at this. >> the

>> reason he's talking about is because if you ask people on the street if you ask average voters, if you do have a poll like that one, they still say that the economy is bad and what they're talking about is they're paying a lot more for stuff, especially food. now than they were to three years ago. and i think that there's just going to be a real lag time and i think it's an open when question. come november or voter still upset about how much they're paying for eggs, milk, and bread, because if they are, they're going to hold the incumbent biden accountable for that, not trump >> okay. so that's one question. maybe d question going forward, but until we get there, we have tonight and then in the days and weeks following what's going to happen inside the republican electorate. mark cuban, who's never been a fan of donald trump, said the following. he said, if we're having his last week and it was him versus trump meeting biden. and he was being given last rites. i would still vote for joe biden so the question shan is whether or not there are nikki haley voters out there who are that stridently against donald trump and would go for

joe biden and it wouldn't make a difference there. >> i think there's no question that there are at least some and those are the voters who didn't turn out to vote republican in 2018, 2020, 2022, i think it's the big question. do they not turn out in 2024? do they turn out and vote for joe biden in 2024? because if they do, trump's going to lose again. so i think that those nikki haley voters that 30 to 40% that she's consistently getting in the primaries they ultimately probably will decide the election this fall and they'll either decided by voting for trump biden, or just staying home all of which is critical in a race that's likely to be decided by tens of thousands of votes across five states. those voters are going to be really, really important oh, i agree completely and i think that you think about kari lake, what she told all the john mccain voters to go away and not support her campaign, didn't >> really help her win that against katie hobbs. and when you hear donald trump talk about nikki haley and her supporters and sort of tell them to go away and they're not welcome in the party anymore. i think that is a colossal mistake. take that he is making

>> but he has a lot of time to make up >> sure. but, most of the nikki haley voters are better educated news aware. more, more moderate. they aren't people are going to forget that the foreign president told him to get out of the party. >> i think if i was trump the concern i would have run out that they are turning out not because they love nikki haley, they're turning out to voting against donald trump. and the quote you just read from mark cuban, what's interesting is he doesn't have he doesn't love joe biden though. he doesn't he's not a dorsey joe biden. he's saying, i'm gonna go vote against trump no matter what i can eat said today, he would go vote for nikki haley. if i guess he did vote for nikki yes. yeah. so those are the voters that are they going to turn out to vote against trump at this fall or not? and he needs to reach out to them >> great conversation. i learned a lot, always do from both of you. thank you so much coming up, we head back out west for an update further west than utah good to go to california, the most expensive political contest of the year, not including the presidential election. the latest from california's jungle primary.

dodger superstar steve garvey is looking to break through the big question. voters are deciding today is whether the general election will fit feature to democrats or one and that's because california has a so-called jungle primary, meaning the top two candidates will advance to the general election in november regardless of their party and with more than $71 million being spent on ads, the race is the most expensive political contest of the year besides the presidential election our stephanie elam is standing by in santa ana, california stephanie >> yeah. and dana, they've spent more money on ads for this senate race in california than there has been spent on presidential ads. so that just shows you how competitive david is here and adam schiff by far has a math, the largest war chest to go about the battle of getting these ads out there. and two, win, he says he's still going to fight like he's the underdog. and just for comparison purposes, in 2018 for senator feinstein's

reelection, that was a 4.2 million spend. and then if you look at 22 and senator alex padilla went back to get his first full term as senator from california that caused just over $6 million. so you look at that over $71 million number and it's a massive number here. also, what's interesting here is that you've got the fact that whoever those first two candidates are, they are the ones who are going to go ahead to head in november. so that's why today's election. for senate is so important. will it be to dems against each other, or will it be a democrat versus republican? taking a look at the baseball star, steve garvey, that's what a lot of people are waiting to see if that will happen, but keep in mind here in california democrats outnumber republicans two to one. so it tends to be a blue state. so that's something that people are interested in. i should also note dana, that it's noteworthy with all that money being spent on ads, not $1 of that has been from an ad spent by steven garvey, not one.

>> wow. >> i didn't realize that that's really interesting, stephanie. he might not be spending money on himself, but one of his opponents is spending money trying to prop him up. and that is adam schiff. he's running ads touting the sir but a record of republicans, steve garvey, we'll explain why after our viewers watch some of it >> surfeit of republican steve garvey voted for trump twice surging in the polls. fox news says he'd boost republican control. democrat adam schiff. he stands up for us >> so you mentioned the two-to-one margin of democrats to republican voters in california that's why adam schiff is boosting garvey because he wants to run against a republican, not a fellow democrat, right >> yeah. because obviously it'll become a, there'll be battle ax if it gets to november and it's democrat versus democrat. if it turns out that it's republican, that's going to weigh in the democrats favor adam schiff has

been leading these polls. people know who he is outside of california as well, because he was so influential in former president trump first impeachment and trial. so he has the recognition people believed that he can actually do the job that needs to be done considering what the progressives and democrats are looking for. but yeah, it seems teams that because of this attack is actually raised the profile of steve garvey in california, even remember he played for the dodgers and the padres. so he's a southern california guy. all of the state doesn't know him perhaps as well. and so this is helping to raise his profile overall, that actually he could help him get that top two position so that adam schiff thinks it'll be easier for him to defeat him come november. >> stephanie elam. thank you so much for that up next, a swift call to action by superstar taylor swift on this super tuesday calling the trap any couldn't get out. >> vegas was having an identity crisis. it was the beginning of the downfall degas at a
