race. president trump continued his dominant performance as he looked to knock challenger nikki haley out of the race but the governor is not giving up she picked up a solid victory in vermont and is bowing to keep bringing the fight. >> 70 percent of americans said they don't want donald trump or joe biden we are blessed to live in a country where we have elections. i don't know why everyone is so adamant that they had to follow trump's lead to get me out of this race but all these people deserve to vote. >> julian: on the left president biden taking a clean sweep losing to the american samoan democratic caucuses we are quickly approaching the general election weekend. let's go to fox news correspondent kevin paid top of the morning to you. >> not a clean bristle broom

sweep but you could say he broke out the slifer wet jet and we will get to that in a moment but first a verdict in the golden state that sets the stage for a huge battle coming up this fall as the major league hall of famer california republican steve garvey earns a bid to pick up the senate seat garvey and schiff finishing 1 and 2. based on the top two vote getters to november to face off. congresswoman katie porter finishing a distressed third and former president trump has had a boffo night. he one of the golden state picking up 169 delegates part of it not that solve mr. trump and all of the one contested on
10:04 pm
super tuesday but given the state of the race nikki haley has a very difficult decision to make in the coming days. here is where things stand at this hour as we take a look. super tuesday the delegate the math is the mass let's face it former president trump is on his way and ditto for the likely opponent but for the other inside the numbers look that we can share with you it has been a very big trump night 75 pho1-62. and on the board tonight a strong chance at a victory coming up next week and i should point this out his remarks tonight, the former president's remarks were relatively subdued but he talked about the need to come together how soon nikki haley decides to do that is anyone's guess at this hour. >> some people speculating as
10:05 pm
soon as tomorrow kevin we will check in with you later tomorrow. >> or maybe it is today if we are going to get technical about it.>> mike: we are joined by our panel fox news contributor leslie marshall, gianna cardwell and john boswell the associate editor of the "wall street journal". welcome to all of you. leslie, lead us off. what are your key takeaways from super tuesday? >> i have a lot of them not tons of surprises. maybe you could say america samoa is a surprise with joe biden but not today washington d.c. was not a surprise vermont not a total surprise i was surprised for my home state of massachusetts i thought nikki haley might do better with those numbers but speaking of numbers that surprised me in vermont how many voted for nikki haley and how many republicans in the exit polling
10:06 pm
in the interview say it was more of a symbolic vote against donald trump then necessarily for nikki haley and joe biden. one more number, 48 percent. and it's around the number of nikki haley voters >> gianna which are assessment at tonight super tuesday performance? >> i thought it would be donald trump. he is sweeping the field but it's only one person as we look ahead to the general election i am thinking about the notable things that donald trump must do to unite the party in order to be to joe biden i am looking
10:07 pm
at the exit polling from north carolina, virginia. but north carolina being a swing state. 78 percent of voters won't commit to the nominee and that would be donald trump. and that's got to be an issue. as he tries to unite the party. you absolutely need to look at those voters women especially an independent and she brought in the number to try to get trump out of the way ea--race a need to make concentrated efforts to get them on board as you can unite the party and when the general election. >> john. what about your takeaways? >>. >> john: no surprises this was expected. i think what we are going to see now is the data dump that we get from tonight. this isn't exit polling interviews with the voters. mind you, this is the core of the core that came out tonight for both candidates. these are people who wanted to
10:08 pm
vote in the primary and it was pretty much a foregone conclusion so are we getting a representative sense of the voter out there i am not sure we are. and i think of this issue of how many voters in the case of trump and to a certain degree in biden will stay home because they are unhappy with either candidate i am not sure we will get that data from this voting pattern this evening we are going to have to see in some of the polling that comes out after this how many voters for trump and biden did not show up in may not november. >> gillian: leslie do you think that these risky biden voters may stay home, democrats that are dissatisfied with the job he is doing, when push comes to shove? >>.
10:09 pm
>> leslie: if you stay home are you are uncommitted and you are a democrat you are not going to vote for joe biden, you are voting for donald trump with your inaction or your lack of commitment. at the end of the day this is a time teresa and i read somewhere and i had to laugh that the polling for the attitudes was a rematch between the current president and former president is like a colonoscopy without anesthesia hello. we took that in for a moment. there is that the enthusiasm but there is the enthusiasm as i don't want that guy from both sides to the opponent but because it is tight, it's going to come down to a handful of states, will come down to a slither of voters, perhaps many
10:10 pm
independents and youth and if a few people stay home that's not a big deal but if a large margin does that could be problematic. >> mike: leslie, john and geon l, thank you very much. got to go for now. >>. >> gillian: some minnesota voters among the group, joining us as the gop chairman, david hahn what you make of this 19 percent noncommitted voters in your state tonight? >> david: i think the turnout for this primary was a little bit lower than expected certainly on the democratic side, to me that was thebiggest take away. donald trump , who is going to clearly win, not all of the votes are in but donald trump is clearly going to win. he has out pthat's an indicatio
10:11 pm
how unpopular president biden is in with a close race this will be in minnesota. minnesota will be one of the battleground states. >> in the polls leading up there's a lot of discontent with the front runner candidates not sure which way a key contingent of people is going to swing. take a listen to this. >> i will be voting for joe biden like i did four years ago. >> to be honest i don't like either one of them. >> i think another biden trump rematch would be easy for trump. >> it will not be biden absolutely will not be biden. >> further polling inside your state showed a lot of people are discontent with the candidates are unhappy with more than one issue. it is not just the southern
10:12 pm
border is not just the economy. that is making them unhappy. >> david: i think the public safety issue is a big thing certainly the economy is a huge issue but there's a lot of issues that voters are dissatisfied with and i think the recent polling that we saw here from the news outlets is that biden is deeply unpopular and that is a huge issue i think obviously there's lots of debate about donald trump is a candidates and nikki haley did a good showing in minnesota but deeply unpopularity of president biden and his policies will make a huge difference in the selection and the polling shows this is a close election and the primary votes today show joe biden is behind donald trump in terms of enthusiasm among voters. >> david: take. >> gillian: take a listen to
10:13 pm
the sound about the southern border i want to get your response. >> terrified about this election. we will see how it goes down in november. we will see how animated people are with the outcome. >> that was not a sound about the southern border that was a voter talking about being terrified of the election cycle, something we spoke about a moment ago.why do you think it is that a contingent of minnesota voters say they are feeling terrified, this is on the knife's edge they could see it going either way in general. >> i think the policies have deeply affected people in minnesota across the country about the inflationary tendencies we have seen the lack of growth in the economy and foreign policy the missteps have made the world a far more dangerous place and the order
10:14 pm
issues affect everybody we are a huge agricultural state lots of need for lots of workers but there's great concern about whether or not the border is being managed in a way that is helpful these are issues that people across the state of minnesota are concerned with and i understand that there is a lot of angst about if we want to have a biden trump rematch but if it comes down to that donald trump is clearly the winner and he could easily make minnesota a republican presidential state for the first time since 1972. >> gillian: david thanks for staying up late with us we appreciate your analysis of what went down last night. we will talk to you soon. >> mike: joining us it seems like we will see a trump biden rematch this november but if nikki haley decides to drop out will she use throw her support
10:15 pm
behind mr. trump or will she challenge both of them? more on that, next. >> we have a great republican party with tremendous talent and we are going to have unity and it will happen very quickly and i have been saying lately, success will bring unity to our country.ti ng 't that's a different story. ting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card. make more of what's yours. so... - we're engaged! - we're engaged! congrats carol! your youngest finally popped the question. but now, you're really going to have to get those new dentures. after all, you need a smile that matches the moment. so this might be a good time to mention that aspen dental can create natural looking dentures in no time.

making their voices heard on super tuesday. immigration and the economy, joining us to take a deep dive at the topics on the top of the list for voters is matt. hey matt.>> matt: in our latest fox news poll. 1200 voters were selected and the number one issue they voted on was the economy. 37 percent was the most pressing issue right behind that 21 percent say immigration is the second most important topic i spent weeks reporting across the southern border in texas i witnessed the immigration prices and is no surprise that they rank immigration so high taking a
10:21 pm
closer look at immigration 78 percent of voters in the fox news poll say the southern border is an emergency or a major problem that's down from 85 percent in october but substantially higher compared to february 2019. president biden and trump swept super tuesday elections. one development among democratic voters in minnesota estate that has a large population of muslim americans 44,000 democratic voters 20 percent of tonight's turn out did not vote for president biden. they voted uncommitted as a form of protest calling for biden to have a cease-fire in gaza. >> i am voting uncommitted i believe the war in gaza and genocide that israel is committing is unacceptable and joe biden has not done enough to earn my vote and not done enough to stop the war in the massacre.
10:22 pm
>> matt: in the state of michigan last week a similar protest 13 percent of all voters voted uncommitted in that state's democratic primary. >> mike: another question going into super tuesday will nikki haley run as a third-party candidate? she took that question head-on saying her places in the republican party she has no plans to run as an independent. we turn to firehouse strategies katie mccutchen a. [indiscernible] for joe mansion who chose not to run under the no labels party. katie, welcome. your old boss senator mansion and former maryland governor larry hogan decided to pass on no labels because they view that is being a spoiler? >> katie: i think that's right
10:23 pm
and of the last couple of months no labels and candidates across the country to see if there's an appetite for this type of candidate this is not a normal third-party this would have been a split ticket they have seen if there is an appetite and there doesn't seem to be one that article that came out this week that they interviewed no labels donors they said they really don't have a plan to ensure they can get on more ballots across the country and there's no transparency on how they are going to recruit and event a candidate because there's no other opposite obvious option. >> gillian: a second switch in this primary cycle running as libertarian is that something no label factors into their decision-making? you don't want there democratic race primary race with third-party candidates. >> katey: i don't think that's
10:24 pm
on the no labels calculation i think it's in the calculation of where he can pull the most votes i think he has gone about the presidential election in a couple of different capacities so he is trying to figure out where he can get on the ballot and where he can pull the most votes and i think he said today he is certified for the nevada ballots but that's not official and he will not certify for all 50 states of these third-party candidates are trying to figure out who it is going to benefit and if it will benefit them at all. >> mike: did no labels bought by flirting publicly with some of these politics like senator manchin. >> i wouldn't say below about
10:25 pm
the appetite for these candidates and the reputations from the rematch joe biden and trump in 2020 because both of these candidates are so extreme there's a big pocket in the middle and those people would be interested in a split party candidate but the facts of the matter are democrats, the small pocket that we saw today as they voted uncommitted the progressive side of the party they believe joe biden is not liberal enough and republicans are frustrated with their option as he is not a real conservative he is not a real republican the reagan republican of our yesteryear and they will not be satisfied with a split ticket so there was momentum going in that there would be an appetite for this type of candidate but both parties, is just not there. >> rocksolid at 1:25 am. thanks so much. rocksolid. >> they call it super tuesday for a reason.
10:26 pm
trump and biden had good nights but how far are they from clinching the nomination the breakdown of the numbers coming up for you next. >> day the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. okay, when you turn around, you're gonna see someone. may i have a turkey and cheese? let's imagine that ll cool j has a bubble around him. -do we want to be inside -- ohh. -hey, i'm keith. there are some situations that young homeowners turning into their parents just can't handle. yeah, there he is. -there's my nephew. -very cool. i got a video of him, uh, playing piano. that's not how you take a selfie. progressive can't save you from becoming your parents, but we can save you money when you bundle home and auto with us.

10:31 pm
tuesday. connor hansen joins us with more from new york. >> so far president biden and former president trump won every states might setting up a likely bill number match up the only exceptions were nikki haley in vermont and trump slauson americas so most to an unknown challenger.shortly after polls closed both front runners took decisive victories in several states president joe biden former president donald trump aren't leaving much room for the competition. biden and trump sweeping states like >> they call it super tuesday for a reason.
10:32 pm
>> president biden releasing a statement saying in part today millions of voters across the country made their voices heard showing their ready to fight back against donald trump's extreme plan to take us backwards. nikki haley, down in numbers but not out yet. >> 16 states want to have their voices heard. i think it's as pro-american as it gets. we don't anoint kings we let people have choices. >> i don't want her to quit because i think we need a voice as an independent voter especially. >> and nikki haley put out a statement celebrating her vermont win but did not say she is staying in the race and a high profile matchup in california congressman adam schiff will face off against steve garvey for the empty senate seat left by the late diane feinstein. >> connor thanks so much.
10:33 pm
>> gillian: what makes super tuesday super is the delegate count. 1/3 of the delegates in play were up for grabs last night former president trump is as a stand 751 he needs 1215 to clinch the nomination but what exactly can we expect that to happen let's ask our panel leslie marshall john. it was an astonishingly redemptive week for the former president of the supreme court ruling sublimates sweep or near sweep minus vermont it puts him on a undeniable track to the nomination but almost more importantly than that, put some
10:34 pm
back employee in the general. >> i think we saw that over the last several months in transient and additional primaries on the 12th and 19th are likely to put him over the delegate count and then what happens? we go to the issues. this is a much more touchy uncertain election. the former president will be pounding on border issues president biden will be talking about abortion and the fact that former president trump put a supreme court in that reversed roe versus wade the biden administration will be pounding on the economy if they are smart because it's a strong economy 3.3 percent gdp growth in the fourth quarter tremendous job growth they will
10:35 pm
have to message that to voters and explain that inflation is not a result of biden policies result of the pandemic and supply chain disruptions that began with the former president and continued. it was not the fault of either of these presidents. we get down to the issues and the fact that we have a candidate running who has been convicted of business fraud has been convicted of sexual harassment and defamation and other court cases that are in the works and could be decided against him in the middle of this campaign. >> mike: jon i am noticing the numbers going by on the screen. in utah nikki haley got nearly 33 percent of the vote pretty huge night for former president trump let me be clear but should he have started the healing process with more outreach to haley and her voters?
10:36 pm
>> i think so and i'm sorry. >> you are referring to me right? >> she has not come out and given a speech after having one vermont and i am wondering what she is thinking her next steps are and i can't imagine there is any conclusion she can draw that she could potentially win this. no path exists for her. i do wish that donald trump would reach out to her ? he has multiple times before but she has to get out of the race and as we look ahead to the general election because we know this is going to be between donald trump and joe biden and seven key swing states we have donald trump beating joe biden on average by five points north carolina being one of those important swing states what i do wonder because i was
10:37 pm
listening to the coverage with britt hume's saying many voters acknowledge and know that joe biden is old and what some may consider senile. i do agree with that analysis but i wonder with these states that he is losing in how was he going to go out and campaign? is he going to do rallies? what is that look like? he had to hold onto handrails. it's not a good look for somebody running for president considering the issues that are going on in the country and the fact that he loses his train of thought. there's a lot of issues on joe biden which will put him in peril when it comes to donald trump who has energy to go out there and win races and joe biden simply doesn't. it's not looking too good for joe biden. >> to that point the president
10:38 pm
was mia today. her last night he chose not to give a speech. this was a huge night for him. he swept all the states where he was up 15 of them why do you think he decided to stay silent and do you think he should have addressed the voters? >> no. i think we get and with all due respect i love you but you would see double digit 10, 20, 30+ percentage point differences and margins joe biden if it was so impossible. it's not impossible we are a divided country it's 50-50 the president we saw and midterms in the general election and ohio and for the people that don't want donald trump who feel that he hijacked the republican party to take the party over again that a lot of people are like we don't want
10:39 pm
to go back we want to go forward but this is not about victory laps there is no victory for joe biden he is probably not going to be the nominee until march 19 and donald trump not until march 12 these are different people with different ideas and they have different styles and donald trump's style to come out take a victory lap every five minutes and is not joe biden's especially when we are highlighting every single thing these guys do from now until the election. >> thanks very much we will see you later in the show. >> the supreme court handing president trump a victory unanimously ruling he could stay on colorado's primary ballot after months of debate over if he violated the 14th amendment insurrection clause many are left wondering what implications this could have on the presidential race as a whole.
10:40 pm
the colorado chairman joins us with his take. welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> what do you think the impact was with the supreme court in terms of the race we saw in colorado and did energize republicans in your state? >> if this was a nonpartisan lawsuit that was brought about independently as important that the court gave the nation clarity but no president has created more jobs than joe biden we have record unemployment including latino and black communities because of the policies of joe biden and americans will reward him with another four years in the white house. >> back to the case. your state and 30 some others were hoping to duke it out with the former president and the courts that was shut down this week by that decision and made
10:41 pm
very clear to the party that they will have to face the former president head-on at the ballot box. it's not an easy pill i imagine a lot of democrats to swallow. this had been the hope. >> the story of the election is starting to become clear joe biden is over performing and donald trump is underperforming in colorado so bided 185 percent of his voters that trump was lucky to crack 60 percent. how are they going to unify the party is a huge amount of disarray and they would have to answer for trade wars and they killed the border deal and americans will be going to the ballot box for that. >> we know the denver area is traditionally blue and other parts are red. what's your analysis of if your state is purple or is it a blue state. >> we take nothing for granted and we are focusing on local
10:42 pm
races where we never competed in your seeing the democratic party win elections we are winning in places like loveland at eastern planes and places we never used to competing when democrats show up with a positive message like cutting the cost of living and supporting farmers and ranchers we can win in these areas.so make you mention the issues that will drive democrats to the polls this election cycle you mention the border and the economy but the reality is 66 percent of voters disapprove of the job he's doing out immigration 62 percent disapprove of the job he's doing on the economy. this is the latest fox news polling. >> the only poll that matters is the one on election day is so far the stories that he is
10:43 pm
over performing and donald trump keeps losing best because president biden is fighting for our freedoms and donald trump is trying to take them away biden is taking on corporations and trump is promising more giveaways to billionaires and people are picking up on that and that's why you see donald trump having a big problem barely able to crack 60 percent and he has lost 2 states and joe biden hasn't lost a state. >> i'm surprised to hear you mention hidden fees that's hardly an election election winning issue. >> people care about their pocketbooks their wages have barely gone up thanks to joe biden that starting to change that's why they will award him and harass another four years we are still digging out of the wreckage of donald trump's failed administration. >> let's turn to the other side.
10:44 pm
colorado's republican party chairman what you think of the supreme court's ruling in the impact on tonight? >> i think it was a historic ruling, one that needed to be done and it was a pew deviation of what the democrats were doing my counterpart can blame this case on nonpartisan actors but they were funded by left-wing democrat groups to try to disrupt donald trump and engage in election interference because they are desperate to not face off against him because they know they will lose in november. >> do you think and 36 states as the number of states challenging the former president do you think they were all funded the secretaries of state were all funded by democratic operatives? >> the litigation for sure would go to the district courts in colorado they were funded by left-leaning. [indiscernible] not a
10:45 pm
right-leaning organization funded by george soros and other left-leaning groups have money interests. it's clear to us it was election interference and if joe biden wants to win at the ballot box he needs to do it on his own. when president trump said when the ruling came down on monday. >> the keys to the republican nominee winning colorado in november? >> i think it's simple i think it's immigration and the economy and connected to that is reckless spending we are seeing under joe biden administration. people are hurting despite what my counterpart said people are not thriving under the joe biden economy. people are hurting.they're having a tough time making ends meet and paying for basic necessities i think it will come back to bite them in the butt when we get donald trump
10:46 pm
denominational focus on the general election we will make a strong case to secure the border and bring jobs back to america. >> what you say to colorado republican voters who were wary of the trauma and chaos that seems to accompany the former president ever he travels? >> look. he is not the one bringing the chaos.he's trying to stand up for so many americans who have been forgotten by the powers that be we should not be surprised by the attacks coming by the left of those who want to keep the status quo when he is standing up for the american worker is standing up for families across this country trying to do right by them we should not be surprised when the swamp strikes back and those who don't want him to return to the white house fund litigation to try to remove him
10:47 pm
from the ballot these things are bound to happen but thank god the don is coming. donald trump will win in november and everyone knows it. >> dave williams in a cool movie inspired office. dave. mix very much? >> thanks take care. >> gillian: president biden is losing some of the support he had amassed 4 years ago the new york times shows he is is 2020 supporters 10 percent of those have switched sides. is there a way to still turn things around? we will get into that next. u m ♪i've got a choice, more than one answer.♪ ♪i sat down with my doc.♪ we had a talk. ♪knew just what to say.♪ ♪i asked for cologuard and did it my way.♪ cologuard is a one-of-a kind way to screen for colon cancer

10:52 pm
several polls put trump and nikki haley ahead of president biden. the post said biden should ignore the liberal wishlist. all he needs to do to beat trump is to one thing, secure the southern border. do you like that idea? it's a policy goal for republicans. but is that true?
10:53 pm
meaning if he could fix that, solve that crisis? >> he has to use that as a template and reject what has become the effect of democratic pololicy, campaign activists and donors and the social media overlords who have dictated the policy on of the whole host of issues including immigration immigration has been a disaster for this president 70 to 80 percent think the president has had a terrible policy with open borders if you look at what's happening in blue cities, they have had a meltdown when asked to handle a small thimbleful and if you look at one of the president's biggest problems right now he is hemorrhaging support among white, black and hispanic voters.
10:54 pm
many don't like his position on immigration and they are all aware that immigration this mass open border of assimilated immigration coming in eight, 9 million voters is driving down wages for the working class with the "washington post" is suggesting is a sister soldier moment if the president will take that seriously and do what bill clinton did in 1992 he rejected the far left positions on things like crime and did things to close the border and what i fear biden will do in the state of the union on thursday is he will try to have it both ways the same way what he is doing with israel what he is saying with israel, we have to defeat hamas.
10:55 pm
but israel, scale back your efforts on those are contradictory. what i think he will do what immigration takes segments of what happened with the langford bill and try to implement those administratively and berate the republicans for not passing legislation and that dog is not going to hunt . as good a guy a senator langford was that bill would still allow 2 million migrants to come into the country and that's a position the public doesn't support at this point it was too far left with all due respect to senator langford and the president will say, we can supplement that with administrative actions the public doesn't want that. the president has to close the borders effectively and he could say asylum applicants could be processed out of country but i fear the president who is sensitive to the criticisms of the progressive left and is beholden to the far progressive left which is different from when i was serving on the oversight committees i fear the president will try to have it both ways try to satisfy

everyone and at the end of the day he will lose that argument because the public is so upset that the democratic party and the president have moved so far left on this issue. >> gillian: with eight months left on the calendar until the general election less like an eternity in politics but is not very long in terms of policymaking. could biden even start to turn things around between now and then? >> on immigration he could do it tomorrow the supreme court ruled on it the president can close the border tomorrow with the stroke of a pen. what is subject to litigation when he tries to do things like change individual asylum policies or state can only be processed at borders or points of entry if he closes it tomorrow he doesn't have a challenge legally. >> stick with us more coverage coming up next.

11:02 pm
ballot boxes on the biggest day of the 2024 primary race on republican side president trump continued his commanding performance as he and the south carolina governor not giving up as she picked up a solid victory in vermont and vows to keep bringing the fight. >> if i were to get out of the race it would be the longest general election in history i don't know why everyone is adamant they have to follow trumps leads to get me out of this race. >> mike: on the democratic side joe biden nearly with a clean sweep only losing american samoa in the democratic caucus therefore more on the super tuesday coverage we turn to kevin. hello kevin. >> kevin: good morning to you. former president trump tuesday
11:03 pm
he picked up 169 delegates in california part of a massive hall where there were delegates a plenty employee wall ambassador nikki haley crisscrossed across the country hoping to pull off a few upsets those were few and far between. and a win in vermont and a few stronger-than-expected finishes were overshadowed by a number of blowout losses and a crushing delegate defeat at the hands of the former presidency may be wondering where do things stand? right now former president trump is rolling like an offensive lineman heading in a grocery cart heading downhill in san francisco picking up steam and delegates. look at that number 757 and more on the way. no word on when governor nikki haley will bailriting is on the wall.
11:04 pm
major league baseball hall of famer in california republican steve garvey earns a shot at democratic congressman adam schiff for a seat left vacant by diane feinstein said in the top vote getters to the november ballot and speaking of democrats president biden pretty easy going on tuesday winning all budget american samoa and the primary this is happening in a week that saw michelle obama say i am not going to do it. so it appears to be biden or bust. i would be remiss if i did not mention kiersten running in arizona for reelection that's another key battle to keep an eye on as we have a very busy fall ahead. >> kevin, many thanks.
11:05 pm
>> gillian: nikki haley is still in this race. does she have a path? we are joined by the panel, leslie marshall, and let's start with the fact that nikki haley has picked up victories in washington d.c. and vermont making her the first female republican to prevail in any primary race it was pointed out earlier this evening that they have the most successful female republican politician in presidential political history does she have a path remaining forward or is this the end of the line for her? >> first i'm glad you mention the first woman you have to give her the kudos for that. she is the first state and second state the district of columbia and vermont but speaking to the past let's look at numbers and that's what
11:06 pm
politics is. how many people vote how many do you get general election electoral college you make it to the magic number and you win and it's the same way in the primary. right now former president donald trump has approximately 951 of the 1215 he needs. but nikki haley has 80 so i don't see a path. i am not a math major but i don't see a path the numbers aren't there for her it doesn't add up she has no appearances planned after today she did not plan that and she will not be speaking and making a speech about what happened tonight she was grateful and thankful and gave a shout out to vermont but i don't see a path going forward. >> if this is the end of the road does she deserve credit for being the runner up to the former president? outlasting all the guys? >> yes.
11:07 pm
and she is not somebody that i think the electorate at this point is going to focus on much longer she is out she might be hoping for a hail mary in this. a conviction of the president on one of the 4 outstanding indictments that he has to contend with but none of those are coming to the jury anytime soon or to resolution so it's hard to see how that would sway enough of trumps core voters to vote for her. i think what you are seeing is a positioning for the next presidential election she has been a compelling candidate an alternative to donald trump but not one that the voters are choosing this time around. >> gillian: at what point does nikki haley staying in become a political liability going
11:08 pm
forward lindsay graham called for her to pull out of the race he knows her well and called her a team player indicating if she cares about what's best for the party she better call it. >> i think we are in that territory to be honest and certainly she has been a compelling voice talking about the issues of abortion and reaching out to suburban women and this is how she has been able to rack up some numbers but this is her time to exit and as i keep saying because we are talking about nikki haley there is no path for her we have to focus on the general election and i am reminded of what john said in the last hour he believed joe biden has a great economic message when it comes to jobs and the economy and the truth of the matter is the inflation data is down but prices are up.
11:09 pm
when it comes to the economy many americans have a negative view fox news polling showed 93 percent of republicans have a negative view and 61 percent of democrats and when i asked a very important question the biden economic policy impact 14 percent of those people believe his policy had helped them so as we are talking about this and basically in the last hour, there's a really strong position for biden i happen to disagree with my colleagues on that issue because looking at immigration 70 percent of americans believe joe biden is mishandling immigration 325,000 people flown into the united states and i'm sure that was done because biden's administration did not want the news cameras to see the people coming across the borders they
11:10 pm
are trying to hide it. [laughter] this is not the right set of circumstances any income but we want to run on. it's a difficult one and as we look forward i think it's incumbent upon donald trump of the republican party to get as many of those voters as possible and nikki haley should be part of that process. >> stick with us we will get back to you later in the hour. >> mike: the race to replace the late senator dianne feinstein heats up adam schiff took the victory in the primary and he will face off in november against former los angeles dodgers superstar first baseman steve garvey running on the republican side let's bring in the republican gop chairwoman jessica patterson. >> great to be with you guys tonight. >> mike: what you make of adam shifts tactics?
11:11 pm
the two democratic congresswoman elbowed of the way it elevating steve garvey, do you think you will regret that? >> i hope so this gives californians a great opportunity to have a choice in november if katie porter would have made it to the general election you would have had a choice between similar if not the exact same types of people dc insiders have created many problems here in california that you get to see what the difference between going for an outsider he solutions republicans have to offer and with the democratic party for many years with adam schiff. >> here in washington on capitol hill schiff is widely viewed by democrats as a party bulldozer he moves ahead and represents interest at the capital at the white house on a daily basis at this point but he is pretty wildly widely reviled by republicans with the
11:12 pm
trump one and 2 impeachment trials.how do you think he plays with california voters? assuming this is a great opportunity for someone like steve garvey he can raise money from different avenues and that will be a big difference maker. we have some of the most expensive markets and he is able to raise those dollars and get his message out and top talk about the issues that are plaguing the voters. we see rising crime homeless crisis and it's not getting better it's getting worse in our failing education system 50 percent of our children are reading at grave level warehousing and affordability crisis these are issues and problems that california democrats like adam schiff have created in our state. they have a great opportunity to deliver a message what california republicans will do and what someone like steve garvey will do.
11:13 pm
>> he was a legendary los angeles dodgers and played for the san diego padres. sports fan, here. you think his name, it's quite big in california, do you think he has a shot? >> he absolutely has a shot. he is an outsider he is not someone who has been affiliated with politics but he has been affiliated with california. you mentioned los angeles i grew up in la watching him play i love the fact that he was a padre as well. there is a school named after him in the central valley. he has a love affair with the state of california and he is a person that connects with people. and if you have the opportunity to meet and talk with steve garvey you feel like you are the only person in the room because he wants to know the issues that are ailing you and how he can help. he is a wonderful storyteller and a great connector with
11:14 pm
people so i think he has a great shot going into november. >> gillian: the reality, jessica, he will come up against democratic party heavyweights dominating. former speaker nancy pelosi, governor newsom. the entire apparatus stacked against him in that sense. >> is still an uphill battle in california. there are some good signs here for california republicans. not only have we gained about 680,000 new registrations since february 2019 but in the last few registration reports we have seen from the secretary of state california republicans have picked up 100,000 new registrations. democrats have lost 68,000. no party preference states have gone down 92,000. this is all well our friends and neighbors are leaving the state for red pastures.
11:15 pm
there is some good news in here. we picked up five congressional seats in the last two cycles we are going off the offense of three additional seats we have more republicans in california that any other state in the nation there are opportunities here it's an uphill battle i am excited that steve harvey will be carrying the banner for us and californians in november. >> i remember a political outsider with a famous name ended up winning governor of california, arnold schwarzenegger. we should probably watch this race. thanks for your time. >>. >> gillian: the us response to the war in gaza is prompting some democrats to turn their back on president biden it could become a real liability for him the panel will debate that next. >> i voted in the democratic party as i have for the past
11:16 pm
many years and this time i am voting uncommitted. i believe that the war in gaza and the genocide that israel is committing is unacceptable and joe biden has not done enough for my vote. ging, take care of it with gold bond's healing formulations of 7 moisturizers and 3 vitamins. for all your skins, gold bond.

>> voters making their voices heard on super tuesday several issues ranging from immigration to the economy looking at what topics are on top of the list is matt. hello matt. >> in our latest fox news poll 1200 voters were randomly selected and the number one issue they say they are voting on is the economy. 37 percent say the economy is the most pressing issue and behind that 21 percent say immigration is the second most important topic and in southern california some people in palm springs discussed their issues. >> we need change. we have to do something this nation is in serious trouble and the biden administration is
11:22 pm
a laugh. he is a puppet president. donald trump has the answers. and we need him. desperately need him. >> i think he has done a terrific job. he has brought unemployment low. stock market is up he is bringing industry to the red states have lost industry.he has united our foreign friends and allies. he has brought them together. and i feel like he has done a wonderful job. >> one development this evening among democratic voters in minnesota a state with a large population of muslim americans 20 percent of the turnout so far did not vote for president biden they voted uncommitted as a form of protest demanding biden call for a cease-fire in gaza. >> i am voting uncommitted. i believe that the war in gaza and the genocide that israel is
11:23 pm
committing is unacceptable and biden has not done enough to earn my vote and not done enough to stop the war in the massacre. >> in michigan last week a similar protest more than 100,000 people 30 percent of voters voted uncommitted and that states them a credit primary. >> matt thanks very much. >> gillian: across the country a coalition of democrats who organized a last-minute protest against biden's policies some claimed they will vote as uncommitted and have follow-through instead of picking biden 's super tuesday primaries this effort building from michigan hundred thousand people voted uncommitted the voters on the democratic ballot in alabama, iowa, massachusetts, carolina and
11:24 pm
tennessee. some of the frustration comes from the lack of cease-fire from hamas and israel folks blaming the president. president biden is likely to secure this democratic nomination. the folks who are doing this or leading this campaign do not want to be spoilers but they are trying to send the president a very specific message now while he is in power. >> absolutely we are seeing that it's going really strong actually in minnesota tonight 20 percent of the vote was going to those folks who were upset with what they are seeing in the gaza strip so i think a lot of these voters are looking at the results and saying they are looking at sunday they saw vice president harris talking about a cease-fire and they're saying abr message is resonating with the administration. obviously the biden administration will try to
11:25 pm
downplay this and they are saying look people are allowed to have voices heard. and we respect their right to do that. what this means going into the general election is another question. will these folks get out to the polls and vote for president biden? a lot will not be voters to switch sides we rarely see that maybe they are so unhappy with what they are seeing the administration doing that they actually don't get out and that is something officials are making about moving into november. >> with the alternative president trump will not call for a cease-fire so if the choices are between the two of them. >> we know these elections will come down to five or six states every time one of them is michigan they got the white house attention because people were refusing to back the president in the primary. >> 100,000 votes that is not insignificant.
11:26 pm
michigan was part of this really important area that biden was able to flip and so may be to get a huge chunk of voters who are really unhappy with what they are saying could potentially be a warning sign for the biden administration and we saw was some of the exit polling we saw independents in california who were not happy with the biden administration so we are seeing some signs coming out of these super tuesday elections i will say that they are trying to downplay this, the biden administration saying this is part of democracy and such in 2012 obama did see some similar noncommitted votes but they weren't part of any organized campaign and a lot that we saw in 2012 are in states that
11:27 pm
weren't super decisive so it isn't uncommon to see this but i think certainly the biden administration should be watching this closely. it's not uncommon to see an issue because the divisions within a party but i would say is pretty unusual to see not just a foreign policy issue dividing democrats but a foreign war of which united states is not even officially a party. >> it's interesting because usually we see domestic issues but this is something where both sides are energized republicans are energized on this and democrats are very divided we will see how things move forward and how the biden administration will respond in the days and weeks to come and what they will do to resonate
11:28 pm
with democratic voters will and anger than more? we don't know but i am interested to see what goes on moving forward. >> we will be listening for a few lines to see if he will thread the needle. >> and the state of the union is tomorrow because it's wednesday. >> that's a reminder for myself than anybody else but thank you for coming in and being with us so late at night early in the morning. we appreciate it. >> mike: still so much to impact including nikki haley ruining president trump's clean sweep it with the state of the race means for the state of the union for president biden this week. that's next.

11:34 pm
biden and trump appeared to be the likely scenario. shortly after the polls closed the front runners took decisive victories in several states joe biden and donald trump aren't leaving much room for their competition sweeping states like arkansas, virginia, tennessee and north carolina. >> they call it super tuesday for a reason. president biden releasing a statement saying today millions of voters made their voices heard showing they are ready to fight back against donald trump's extreme plan to take us backwards nikki haley down in numbers but not out yet. >> 16 states want to have their voices heard, it's as pro-american as it gets. we don't anoint keying as we
11:35 pm
let people have choices. >> she has been gaining traction with independent voters. >> i don't want her to quit we all need a voice. >> the next major primary day is march 12 which includes the battleground state of georgia where trump is facing an election interference lawsuit. >> well nikki haley is not giving any hints about what she is planning to do next. >> cannot yet we heard she was watching the results with her team in charleston south carolina but only putting out a short statement she is celebrating her win in vermont is the first republican woman to win that primary so far tonight no interviews or appearances or speeches so something we will have to watch closely tomorrow morning if she will make an announcement or stay in another week.
11:36 pm
>> all right connor. thank you.>> mike: is a pivotal week for president biden he is behind former president trump and nikki haley but thursday he will have major opportunity to connect with voters in his state of the union address in the building behind us as rebecca reports he plans to highlight his accomplishments and talk about a potential second term. >> mik >> thursday state of the union could easily be the most important speech of his reelection campaign. >> no president has ever won every election since polling began with an approval rating under 50 percent. >> the state of the union could offer an opportunity to chart a
11:37 pm
new course.he will highlight his economic virginia protecting women's reproductive rights >> i can tell you the president is ready to take the moment to talk about the state of the union to lay out his future vision of how he sees this next year and beyond. >> it's a prime opportunity for uncertain voters is a majority of americans say is administration has mostly failed at handling priorities such as border security. >> out of touch with what is going on in the united states. >> this comes shortly after biden's mental fitness was called into question and as he faces criticism for not doing enough to prevent civilian deaths in gaza. >> he will have an opportunity to make the case about his age to the american people what he needs to do is stop the killing and the suffering.
11:38 pm
>> he is prepping for his big speech and has one public event schedule ahead of thursday. >> let's go deeper into the topic with experts from our panel. joining us again leslie, geon tr resident democrat what does the president need to accomplish in his state of the union address? >> people are going to be looking at not just what he is saying but how he is saying it and i am talking about not the elephant in the room. his age.his mental acuity his vitality so how he presents it is important but how he presents himself and who he is
11:39 pm
representing he is the president for all people he needs to tout the accomplishments i would agree earlier it was said on the economy and things i have to say my party is not putting up front and center with immigration, there was a drop in border crossings of more than 50 percent that's a headline i would want to see obviously outlining women's reproductive rights and abortion and plans with what he wants to do and the difference between him and his opponent coming up with gaza for example you have people in michigan and the muslim community upset with him but you will not hear from the trump administration supply drop, food drop, cease-fire, he can be all things to all people
11:40 pm
but he needs to talk about how he can unite not just democrats but the nation and what he is going to do in his second term if reelected. >> the downside the risks with this big speech with a lot of eyeballs on it are many leslie laid some of them out what is the upside what is the best case scenario could he really hope to get any kind of political bulb from the state of the union? >> it's a fantastic pulpit for the president to give a speech to the nation he has to somehow begin to message the economy our polls showed he is not light for his economic policies is border policies that's a real anchor for him he has a message that explains that the inflation that started with the trump administration was the fault of neither president the fault of the pandemic and that prices are higher because wages are higher and he has to
11:41 pm
somehow begin to take some credit but explain the economy to voters. he has to explain the failure of washington his administration and the trump administration to have lasting border policy has to address the age question but you are going to see him and democrats also address trump's big problem his character issue. the chaos that you referred to under his administration the lies about the last election results and the handing over of ukraine the lack of support for ukraine and the language. the authoritarian anti-democratic language that former president trump sometimes uses. violent language. the vermin poisoning our blood
11:42 pm
referring to his political opponents taking a page out of 1930s germany. voters are electing managers to manage their government i don't think they are trying to elect an authoritarian or this kind of animus this constant conflict and as you pointed out, chaos.>> mike: if biden tries to blame the border crisis on the republicans in congress will that backfire? >> i think it will backfire why? republicans have been talking about the border for a long time and democrats are saying there is no crisis. we see over 7 million people across the border over 2 million getaways but may be more than that but if we are going to talk about what he used to do he needs to speak to the age issue that he has the
11:43 pm
stamina and mental acuity he needs to speak directly and very specifically to the uncommitted voters in michigan as a swing state in 2016 trump one by 10,000 votes you have hundred thousand committed people to say all of them would say i'm going to stay home and some will and in addition to that african-americans on the backbone of the democratic party democrats would win over 90 percent those numbers have shifted because of the immigration issue. people in chicago said we are going to vote for republicans for the first time ever because democrats have taken us for granted so that's not surprising that there is a number of constituencies that biden must reach that he is
11:44 pm
losing and that is the interesting part of it. donald trump needs to expand his base and joe biden needs to maintain his and it doesn't seem to be that those messages are resonating and you can see that with the clips we are playing throughout the hour. i don't like what biden has done and i don't feel like i'm being supported by him. >> gillian: there have been rumblings on and off that biden is mulling over this draft executive order on the board related sources floating the idea he could announce some kind of executive action during the state of the union do you think he is likely to do that and you think it is a good call? >> you can make a good argument that the democratic administration has made a lousy decision in not addressing this much earlier in the administration to take this issue off the table the chief
11:45 pm
one that donald trump is running on so doing it at the last minute is better than not doing it at all. it's possible he could have some sort of executive order which he does require asylum outside the border not within the united states keeping migrants on the other side not allowing them into the united states but how is he going to get those in his party who are liberal and would be concerned about that? i think at this point president biden administration is coming around to the fact that they are going to gain more from addressing this issue by bringing in moderate republicans and independents into the fold resident staying the course of doing nothing and alienating those voters and democratic voters in cities like chicago and new york who
11:46 pm
are looking at this say we can't afford to address the increasing problem of illegal immigration i think you will see some action the question is if it's decisive comprehensive and long-lasting. >> we have to leave it there but standby because we will bring you back again. thanks so much. >> it's going to be awesome. >> gillian: the trump biden matchup is a sure match but could robert kennedy junior be a late hour disruptor? we will get into that, next.

11:52 pm
qualifies who would hurt the most? president biden or president trump but he doesn't want to be a spoiler he insists. sarah, welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> one of the odds he joins the libertarian party? >> if that kind of year we keep seeing one turn after another but this time how far down the wrongs are you going to go with the party first you are a democrat and then you are not sure and then libertarian we see so many democrats like williamson who is uncommitted nobody knows what's going on and they want to get away from biden and trout. >> mike: it seems like we know who the nominees are going to be the drama could be a third-party candidate and who it hurts and and a half a dozen battleground states.
11:53 pm
>> right there is a poll that came out the middle of last year from fox and one that said trump and biden and rfk junior would get at least 11 points for each so he is at least coming in really well but the libertarian party has had candidates with a celebrity card just look at gary johnson and ross perot stuff like that. they are used to it but nobody just wants to vote for rfk. >> there is a widespread belief, hope, optimism for whatever reasons the cycle could be the most significant for a third-party candidate. >> one of the big things we need to think about is all of this year we are burned out but we need to start seeing people set the stage for 2028 nikki haley has finished herself for 2028 she let everything run dry
11:54 pm
and burn bridges but we need to see people setting things up like rhonda santos dropping out early because of political ambitions and rfk needs to start working in building the movement and figuring out his only student jumping into a second. >> not be able to come up with candidates so far a big disappointment in terms of third-party candidacy. >> that's a good question when you think of no labels on my end as a hill staffer you think about the more moderate members of congress or senators so you don't think of them putting forward a presidential candidate and in my mind it's only biden and trump and no labels on the back burner for me. >> you said nikki haley is out for 2028 but i noticed in

former president trump's speech he did not take a stab at her by name he said her name one time during the entire thing to me indicates she is still very much in the running to be a vp. potential candidate for him. >> i don't think so he burned a bridge with her everybody is jumping ship but she went so far moderate with her donors and the democrats backing her it is a bit toxic. there are so many other people to look at. ben carson, tim scott, i think she is out of it trying to be the humble good trump instead of what he said about gavin newsom tonight. >> mike: tim scott for a running mate i think desantis may have a shot? >> i hope so the mix between him and scott and reynolds and
11:56 pm
desantis because they are kind, high moral value but they will not be showstoppers like he is. he needed someone to sit back watch and fulfill the agenda. >> sarah. thanks for staying up late and coming into the studio it's great to see you. we appreciate you. >> mike: stay with us super tuesday coverage continues at the top of the hour. are you ready for another hour? >> i am ready.

>> maia polls numbers i am willing.
12:01 am
>> call it super tuesday for a reason. >> there has never been anything so conclusive. november 5 is right around the corner. >> mike: former president trump saying there's never been a super tuesday as conclusive and the current president telling democrats they should not be concerned with his poll numbers. welcome back to our special coverage of super tuesday. >> gillian: fancy saying you here. we are counting down one more hour live coverage of super tuesday the polls are closed voters and american samoa took a trip to the ballot boxes on the republican side trump continued his dominant performance he is looking to knock nikki haley out of the
12:02 am
race but the south carolina governor is not giving up she picked up a solid victory in vermont and is going to keep bringing the fight. >> 70 percent of americans said they don't want donald trump or joe biden. we are blessed to live in a country where we have elections i don't know why everyone is adamant they have to follow trump to get me out of this race. all these people deserve to vote. >> on the left joe biden with a clean sweep this race as it approaches a 2020 rematch we turned to kevin who is up late with us or up early. good to see you for hour three. >> great to see you for folks at home these guys are my neighbors right here in the office. >> we share an office wall. >> as a great music artist al green saying, let's stay together. that's the former president's message tonight as he implored gop voters in the party to come
12:03 am
together to defeat president biden but he needed to dispatches former un ambassador south carolina governor nikki haley on super tuesday and he did that there were delegates aplenty in play and nikki haley did manage to win vermont those accomplishments were overshadowed by a number of blowout losses to mr. trump and a crushing delegate defeat at the hands of the former president so where do things stand? look at the board 820-69 leslie marshall mentioned trump would end up over 900 before the night is up but he is on his way some would say he is sailing like christopher cross getting what the delegates needed to wrap up a third gop
12:04 am
nomination a political outsider able to do that three times these numbers happened and alaska has also been called for mr. trump and in the golden state the stage has been set for a huge battle as major-league baseball hall of famer and gop star steve garvey and adam schiff going for the vacancy left by senator dianne feinstein there on the november ballot katie porter finishing a distant third at the senate, a key departure kiersten has decided not to run for reelection another battle to keep an ion as the gop attempts to get control of the upper chamber from the democrats. the third senator to hang it up this cycle joining mitch romney and joe manchin and president
12:05 am
biden pretty easy going but america samoa a sweep almost for the president and so it appears it's a biden or bust barring some on forcing circumstance so --some unforeseen circumstance so is the gentleman who battled in 2020 getting after it again very likely in 2024. >> al green reference and christopher cross. well done. there you go. >> thanks kevin. >> for reaction to super tuesday we are joined by the all-star panel leslie marshall caldwell, and john bussey welcome back to all of you. leave us off. your takeaways from super tuesday as we spring forward towards the state of the union address.
12:06 am
>> so no big surprise. i think this was expected both of the candidates continue to advance further in their accounts i think the take away from this for most viewers of this campaign is what is going to galvanize either of these candidates. there is a big yawn factor about both of them.we have seen them both in action. we know there's concern about age what is going to keep people from staying home and i think you are seeing concern about that and the fact that support from the base and the 2020 election has eroded a little bit more for biden than trump but for both candidates so once i going to be a big announcement on the border? is it going to be a resolution
12:07 am
of the fighting in gaza and big aid by the united states? another conviction of president trump there have been three of them, is that going to be the main factor or some slip that shows their age, what's going to be in the next eight or nine months before the election that brings voters who might be staying home in the selection back to the polls? >> gillian: to that point, one thing made clear by the supreme court this week as much as democrats might like to take on trump in the court so far they are not having success they're going to have to face him square on at the ballot box. >> i keep hearing john mentioned indictments and i think one thing people realize especially those who may be
12:08 am
watching people view those as political. just plain and simple obviously everyone is unique and different but a lot of people do and you see the base energize more around donald trump and his numbers went up when those things began to happen i'm not sure what data john is referring to when he said there is an erosion in the trump base i'm not seeing that so i am not aware of any erosion at all in fact i think his base around some of these issues has gotten stronger but what hades to do is get the nikki haley voters there were a lot of democrats her totals might seem to be enhanced based on those voters but he needs to get with the nikki haley voters plain and simple especially understanding her rhetoric around abortion because that's
12:09 am
an issue for many women and entering a general election where democrats and republicans are not necessarily the winter but indepe he has to do those things to move forward and those things which were an issue for him in 2020 people thought he was going to get revenge and he had a second ago but this time around with the victory speech last night he seemed to be more calm in his presentation and we have seen that other times prior to yesterday. there's a lot that they need to do but those of the things that donald trump needs to do to increase his chances of winning the general election. >> a quick follow-up to one of your points i asked if nikki
12:10 am
haley was in the running to be a attentional vp mate and she said no way. you agree with that? >> with donald trump, you never now amassed interesting part. nikki haley is legitimately a rockstar in the republican party and across the country a lot of people don't like her right now they think she should bow out and that's her choice with the truth of the matter is she is making a name for herself and no one can take that away from her but there is a fact that this is what is interesting for her but vp she could still be on the table. >> what better way to appeal to her voters as to bring her on as a running mate? >> if he wants to unify the party she did get serious votes. she didn't win but she's the runner-up. there you go. leslie, how alarmed i democrats about these uncommitted voters
12:11 am
in some of these battleground states? >> first of all kevin i am disappointed you did not say lady in red after sailing with christopher cross talking about nikki haley. i just had to put that out there. when you look at numbers like in michigan it's still ending up coming down to the number two so even though it was really loud and you see numbers like 100,000 what does that break down to at the end of the day when it comes down to delegates or a electoral college and there may be some kind of cease-fire temporarily or otherwise our god willing the hostages released and hopefully this could be over with and there could be a push towards peace and a solution etc. by the time the general election is up i want to weigh
12:12 am
in as a vice president i don't think nikki haley is on a short list or long list as vp choices for donald trump because the reason is if you say something negative about trump, you are not on the good list. you are getting coal for christmas that he likes to surround himself with people who build him up and say positive things she has not been doing that some people say she did not go after him hard enough and she has had that problem in the past and we see it now, which donald trump is he the one that you work for or the one you are saying would be a threat to democracy tone you saying would be dangerous to take over our country but you would stand by his side as a vp i don't think he has her name on a list but i don't think it would breed her voters along
12:13 am
because they're looking as an alternative or they are voting for her symbolically to speak loudly against donald trump. >> mike: still bringing it at this hour. thank you very much. >> gillian: former president trump won all but one and brushing aside nikki haley closer to a rematch with president biden could this be the end of the road now for nikki haley? let's bring in the blue strategies founder and principal. what do you think? is she going to drop out tomorrow? >> i am not sure it's interesting she did not have any events but there's eight months ago until the election it's important for her to present herself in a strong manner i agree about not having her as a vp i don't think that would bode well for her if she should have 2028 aspirations but it highlights her on her
12:14 am
own being a strong-minded strong-willed woman is important for republicans people who weren't interested in the party but don't know what party it is or what version it is we need people like nikki haley to move the party forward and away from some of the what we are witnessing in real time. >> typically candidates drop out because they're out of cash she brought in $12 million in february so she wants to continue on for a couple more weeks to see if she can win somewhere else i would think she could do it. >> i think she could probably make it longer and i hope she would trying to convince the donors but citing issues coming up obviously legal fees that donald trump is having and the
12:15 am
rnc money that's the biggest push trump has been making to put his daughter-in-law and charge because he wants to have that money fully for him and to be the only candidate running is what he is looking for but for nikki haley there are benefits of staying in and maintaining her own lane away from donald trump it does give the party some opportunities to move away from trump for those who want to and is something they will have to contend with because it's not insignificant the number of votes she received great >> or alternatively if you are working for her you are thinking if she is not going to prevail why not leave on a high note clinching washington d.c. clinching vermont somewhat unexpectedly making her the first female gop candidate to clinch any primaries and it
12:16 am
would seem a strong moment to exit stage left. >> she has made history and there are still eight months ago and we have 2 candidates who are 70, 80 years old a lot can happen and both have shown that their mental acuity is not operating on all cylinders there's a lot to be said between now and november 5 and i think the american people should have more options than just these two older gentlemen. >> we have to leave it there thanks for taking time with us tonight we appreciate it. >> mike: recent nikki --the candidates only 4 years apart so why is age a bigger issue

12:22 am
a bigger factor for mr. biden this go around ways that the case since they are only about 4 years apart in age we are joined by lauren right into associate research scholar at princeton university. welcome. so what is your theory on why age is considered an issue for one candidate the incumbent president and not so much for the slightly younger former president? >> i do think a couple of reasons are driving it. the first one is voters notice a change in biden since 2020. he has slowed down. there is videos of his long career in washington that show he is making mistakes that he did mus two. for trump it's different. he has been saying some things people consider to be outlandish or crazy for a while
12:23 am
and there is the celebrity element which i wrote about in my book, star power and that gives trump the ability to be evaluated according to different standards than the traditional politician he has yet to lean on the status i am a business guy from the entertainment world i say some things here and there and he gets away with mistakes rhetorically which he makes but just a style that people have come to know and be very comfortable with and is not the same yardstick used, he is an inside the belt politician. >> gillian: is trump is still able to maintain that image and brand now after he has served as commander-in-chief for four years? >> yes. i think this is what is fascinating is i am not sure
12:24 am
what other candidate could have served as commander in chief and gets to still run as a celebrity and an outsider. what more of an insider could you possibly be than someone who has served four years in the white house but that's part of his talent is convincing people that he is separate from politics he is different in these career politicians and in fact he is not. most former presidents will run on experience and their record but he is running on some of these personal grievances he is running like show business the way think about politics in the us. at least recent history. >> mike: is it your sense of the former presidents legal issues may be galvanizing the republican base behind him?
12:25 am
the other candidates did not stand a chance because they feel like the government was trying to take him off the ballot? >> i don't and i am alone in this compared to most analysts i think it's more the case that he is doing well despite his troubles. we saw after the documents news came out for instruments that weekend his status among republicans and january 6 his status with republicans every group. conservatives, educated. dropped off a little bit it's the case that he has been surging. people are paying more attention people that might have supported him anyway are still supporting him and other candidates are sinking and those things are occurring simultaneously but i think it's an impressive amount of support in spite of these legal troubles which i think will be an albatross around his neck in
12:26 am
a general election but not enough to scare away gop voters not help it. i don't think there's evidence of that. >> gillian: when we talk about the age issue we asked the question off the top why it seems to count against biden but not against trump even though they are close in age as part of the answer because we are talking about age it's a euphemism. everybody means mental acuity and mental fitness and that's what they are evaluating these candidates on it has nothing to do with how many years they have been with us it has to do with the way they express themselves and an expression of the way they think. >> that's a great point age is symbolic of a lot of things it's an indicator of a lot of things you are right and another thing i try to remind
12:27 am
my students seven people i talked to about politics, voters age 65 and 75+ you will not find a group that turns out when you have a strategy of old men and they are just bad and they are out to lunch and we need a new generation you might be alienating voters especially as a republican because they are a big part of the gop base. younger voters every year we talk about what factors jen z and no one else will play in the election but they only turn out less than 30 percent of the time so it is the older voters who see themselves a little bit in trump and biden who are saying wait a minute we need experience that counts for something maybe other things other than age. >> mike: your students are likely to start showing up so we should let you go. thanks so much. >> see you guys. speak to the supreme court

12:35 am
spent a good amount of time at the southern border looking out the crisis and biden has a state of the union address coming up and makes you wonder if he's going to announce potential executive action or how he is going to handle that when you look at that number? >> there has been so much talk and critique over if the president would exercise his authority to reinstate some of the policies when you talk to border patrol and agents and locals they wish the president would immediately take some type of executive action and as we report here constantly of the border is not just a crisis in the southern part of the united states nearly every state so many cities and small towns are being affected so all
12:36 am
eyes will be on the president to see how he handles the border crisis or if you will continue to pass the buck like they have been doing. >> matt. thanks so much. >> gillian: in a historic 14th amendment case the supreme court ruled unanimously that colorado cannot remove donald trump from the primary ballot joining us is leslie marshall jenna cardwell and john bussey. leslie, how do you think this scotus decision played among democrats turning out last night? >> i honestly don't think it weighed in on a substantial number of voters and there are many democrats like myself who were not surprised because do you want the state to make a decision as to who can with an insurrection, it becomes a slippery slope or a pandora's box and actually the court talked about having more
12:37 am
specifics and more decisive action and inaction should come from congress by legislation to be more specific with regard to section 3 of the 14th amendment so i am not surprised, when you heard the arguments from the legal scholars leading up to this decision by the court i think most people knew this was going to happen and i don't think the voters in colorado were surprised based on that. based on the decision. >> do you think the action by these individual states and reaction from the supreme court fired up republican voters in places like colorado? >> gionno: it clearly has for
12:38 am
any of these court cases but specifically this one because you can really and truly pointedly political nature of it and it appears to be revenge politics if you will, many of these democrats, secretary of state want to help their own party but disenfranchised their own voters are the ones who should pay a political price and for those voters, we are not going to reelect you for playing politics with our votes in the truth of the matter is i know there are a lot of democrats who want to ensure that donald trump cannot win in this is one of the strategies that works for them but certainly i could see on the other side even republicans say we should do xyz and that's not right, it's un-american and undemocratic so i'm glad that the justices chose to move this way. >> gillian: what about the decisions motivated republicans heading to the polls last night?
12:39 am
>> this was a clear win for donald trump and it was predicted we knew it was going to happen but let's not take anything away for that it was a big win there was a unanimous decision so not only is he back on the ballot but he gets to go back and say that i want which is a good thing for any candidate to say but donald trump being in court is not a good thing during a campaign season for a candidate. it allows for things to come out the appeals court where his lawyers were arguing that he should not be tried for plotting to overturn the election and in 2020 one of the appeals court judges says wait a second you're saying the president should have ultimate immunity does that mean he can hire a team to go assassinate one of his political rivals? and yes.
12:40 am
say what? and of course the appeals court shot that one down the said you don't have ultimate immunity. our polling shows moderate republicans and independents are watching these cases and might decide, they say to vote against trump if another conviction comes down the road. he has been convicted of business fraud, financial fraud, sex abuse in three cases with juries in some of those cases he has decided that that has galvanized his base to say he is political decisions thereby juries and courts and he has attacked the judges and the courts and in doing this, attacked the rule of law in the united states that doesn't sit well with independents and moderate republicans. he has to watch out for that. >> mike: leslie when we look back at the midterms democrats
12:41 am
were very effective when talking about abortion rights there's talk about if they go back to that this year is it possible that pocketbook or wallet issues may outweigh that kind of rights? >> it depends on where you are and what type of loader you are obviously for female voters the issue of women's reproductive rights are going to way much heavier than someone on the border where immigration is going to be a larger issue the economy is always the top to and if democrats, republicans, or independents when you hear republicans, look biden should take a victory lap and i think part of the problem is the message of what has happened in
12:42 am
the economy and how it has improved and how i hate to say that will trickle down to the voter and why some people aren't feeling it because there's facts and feelings when it comes to women's reproductive rights i don't think anybody should be a one issue candidate or a voter should be a one issue voter but when it comes to abortion that something that's a very strong win for my party nikki haley said something she said that republicans need to learn how to be pro-life and pro-woman and they haven't done that when you have the fear of some of the legislation with regard to ivf or traveling or birth control or the morning after pill and the list goes on and then talk about a federal ban, that could be effective to motivate voters to come out and

your screen donald trump coming in with 58.2 of the vote and nikki haley with 40.7 the difference of 11,421 votes. >> mike: well with president biden underwater it begs the question what if he drops out? the president would have until march 19 or later but with former first lady michelle obama shutting down any speculation on who could take his place on short notice let's ask oversight committee staff director juliann epstein what
12:49 am
you think about this speculation could he drop out there is excitement about the former first lady michelle obama, what are your thoughts? >> after the disastrous convention of the democratic party change the rules for delegates in 1972. the delegates that biden gets by march 19 have to vote for him a lot of people think that's the cutoff date that's incorrect. he could still drop out in april or the day before the convention if he drops out in april would have a furious grassroots campaign by people who want the job to go to the conventions of the delegates are selected to try to win delegates there if he were to drop out on the eve of the convention he would have chaos you would have an open convention that would take three or four balance you would
12:50 am
have a massive social media campaign it would be chaos and so that is, there are scenarios will he could drop out in april or to the convention and you could have an open party fight the way that happens is you seem more like what you saw in the new york times on sunday where you see two thirds of the voters that voted for him in 2020 don't want to vote for him at least as a nominee.you see black voters at 23 percent for donald trump the hispanic vote is 26 you get party elders who go mostly to joe biden and say he wanted to be franklin roosevelt or jimmy carter this is not going to end well.
12:51 am
>> isn't that wishful thinking? he is not dropping out barring some catastrophic unforeseeable situation the party is standing firmly behind him in front of closed doors publicly facing anyway there's no real chance. >> in front of closed doors. [laughter] >> behind closed doors many are saying they wish there was some way to find another candidate they may like what he has done as a candidate in the first term but he is the only candidate that can beat donald trump they are worried he is the only candidate that cannot beat donald trump it's unlikely to your point, that he is going to drop out but there is a slim possibility enough people start looking at these numbers and they go not directly to the president but jill biden the

decision-maker and biden whisper and say this is the better way out i don't think it's likely but i think it's possible. this is one of the problems of groupthink. biden said in january 2023 he was going to run that was time for the party i wrote a piece in the "wall street journal" saying he should get out a year ago and i got a lot of golf for it but that was the time for the influencers to step up and say we are not going to go along with groupthink we are going to take the hard position and there has to be a graceful way to step aside that door has largely closed but there is a crack in it. >> thank you so much for staying up late for us. >> i enjoyed it. >> gillian: we are back with the panel mount bringing them in for their final thoughts. we are going to take it around the table now let's start with you john.
12:53 am
>> i think you're going to see a lot of arguments that have been made in the campaign now repeated in the next several months is time for biden to recognize his age and pass on leadership may be former president trump as well and attacks on former president trump for democracy and the rule of law but it will be a fight over the middle conservative democrats liberal or moderate republicans who is the most effective at galvanizing that group to be able to win and remember we are electing managers, we are giving employment contracts,
12:54 am
two years, four years, six years, to elected officials to fix our borders, our potholes, our national security and that will appeal to the moderate to vote or not the invective. who is best at fixing to convince the moderate reporters and the independents they are here to manage who is good at fixing and not fighting? that candidates will have the leg up in the election. >> mike: leslie, closing thoughts? >> we have had in the past few election cycles but we are having come up now we have a divided country it is almost split down the middle of a majority of republicans will vote for donald trump a majority of democrats will vote for joe biden who will be the democratic nominee there is no crack and gavin newsom is not waiting in the crack but you are looking at about five
12:55 am
states and a slither of voters and you know what is not top five? not just in those states? the age of either candidate the issues they care about are the economy, immigration, abortion, and democracy, protection of democracy and crime. those of the issues that these people running have to get to that sliver within those five states and again it's a numbers game in the first one who gets the number gets over the finish line and they will get the job or remain in the job and my bet it will be joe biden again not only asked candidate but as president for second term.
12:56 am
>> quick follow-up, president biden did not speak tonight but his campaign put out a statement they said president trump is backwards looking what is your response you think that's the right way to go for this campaign we have a couple of seconds. >> leslie: a lot of people like barack obama said if you want to go forward you put the car in drive if you want to go back you put it in reverse. that's what they were talking about.a basket of deplorable's i can't stand the mudslinging and that's where we are in today's elections i want people to focus on their record andissues. >> swiffer . >> gillian: we love all of you guys thank you for staying up late and thanks to everyone for staying up late with us as well and trusting us with your extended super tuesday coverage. >> mike: that concludes our super tuesday coverage. have a great west of your week. rest of your week. good night from washington. >>
