for grabs tuesday. right now hillary clinton is campaigning in new haven, connecticut, meeting with working families. live shots right now, and bernie sanders just wrapping up a stop in baltimore, maryland. meanwhile, things got a little rowdy at a donald trump rally in bridgeport, connecticut. he was interrupted several times by protestors. you see right there, at least one being escorted out, and then we've got ted cruz, who was in pennsylvania this morning, determined to make it to the convention, despite donald trump calling for him to drop out. chris frates is covering the democrats for us. jason carroll is covering the republicans. so, chris, let's begin with you first. sanders, he's been continuing to kind of put up a fight for delegates, despite a widening gap between he and hillary clinton, but he says he is not throwing in the towel as yet. >> yes, exactly right, fred. in fact, both sanders and clinton are crisscrossing the east coast today, and sanders, well, he's hitting clinton for her positions or trade, fracking and, really no surprise her, her big money donors. >> on

happen if he accidendoesn't. in connecticut if no one wins the 1,237, 67% of the connecticut primary voters said the nomination should go to the person that has won most votes. only 29% say it should go to the best candidate for the delegates to decide in cleveland. look at maryland where 65% say it should go to the primary winner if everyone falls shortly of 1,237. 32% say to the best candidate. in pennsylvania we asked the same question, 70% of republican primary voters, no matter who they voted for tonight say if you fall short the guy winning the most votes should be the nominee, 27% say it should be the best candidate. >> whether it's their concept of simple fairness or whether donald trump's arguments are starting to take hold, this is more bad news for the never trump voters and forces out there. a majority -- a significant majority of voters in these states say give it to the guy with the highest number of delegates even if it's no the the majority. >> the most interesting number was pennsylvania because if 70% say that it should be the guy that wins, that's a very big deal i

, tomorrow john kasich will win delegates in connecticut, rhode island, maryland and pennsylvania. every delegate he takes away from donald trump makes it harder for him to get 50%. mark: can you argue this was done out of strength as opposed to weakness? >> it was done because it is a good tactical move. he doesn't get the billion dollars in free media that donald trump gets. you guys cover donald trump all the time. you've given him more free media than anyone else in the history of politics. that's what this is about. john: does the kasich campaign agree it's important that donald trump lose in indiana? >> if he loses in indiana, and as you pointed out, he is an net -- he is neck and neck with ted cruz at the moment, it makes it just about impossible for him to get to 1237. a loss in indiana puts it out of reach. in a convention, you will have 2400 republican delegates. it is an open, fair, transparent system. everyone knows the rules and the delegates will decide who has the strength to lead the party in november. >> if ted cruz is the likeliest person to beat trump, why is go

40s in the hudson valley. the fire dangers the greatest in connecticut, red flag warning. moderate risk elsewhere. be extra careful throughout the day because it's dry. just not as windy today. plenty of sunshine. 60 at noon. low 60s through lunch time. upper 60s the forecast high for the mid to late afternoon.s5:00 a.m. straight up, lauren lauren is back. let's look at the commute. how is it looking? >> things looking good. we got reports of an accident on the van wyck expressway. heading northbound, that blocks the right laneen. it's not causing much of a delay because it's quiet. heatading over to the connecticut turnpike, we have delays because of construction. 95 out in the stratford area, experu delays southbound out by exit 33. more weather andn raffic coming up on the fours. >>> now to the results of the new york presidential primaries. the front-runners edge their leofads. they won big on their home turf. clinton prevailed beating bernie sanders by nearly 300,000 votes. the victory, though, did include some controversy at the polls. "today in new york's" katherine creag is

to take their momentum from last week's new york connecticut, pennsylvania, and other states holding primaries on tuesday. our guests this morning include connecticut governor dan malloy. and the look back at the controversy over the new york primary. tens of thousands of voters suddenly finding out they had been dropped from voter rolls. we're gonna talk to new york city controller scott stringer, who is leading an investigation. good morning, everyone. i'm bill ritter. welcome to "upclose." the political slugfest for votes remains in the northeast for another weekend. voters in pennsylvania, maryland, delaware, rhode island, and connecticut going to the polls on tuesday. bernie sanders promising to push on, even though hillary clinton has taken a delegate lead of more than 700, if you include the delegates elected and pledged. we're gonna talk to new york city councilman jumaane williams, one of only three council members who supports senator sanders. but we begin this morning with connecticut governor dan malloy, who supports secretary clinton. the governor joins us this morning f

connecticut. bernie sanders won rhode island. clinton looking to you knunify tonight. >> whether you support senator sanders or me there's more that unites us than divides us? >> we all agree wages are too low and inequality is too high. that wall street can never be allowed to threaten main street. we should expand social security, not cut or privatize it. she may face an uphill battle as she works to win over supporters for sanders. >>> on the republican side, donald trump walks a narrow path to the republican nomination. he scored a decisive victory tonight in connecticut, maryland, pennsylvania and rhode island. mr. trump now says he has delivered knockout blows to senator cruz and governor kasich. >> i use the analogy of the boxer. when the boxer knocks out the other boxer you don't have to wait for a decision. that's what it is. and that's what happened tonight, last week in new york and that's what's been happening throughout. we have millions more votes, millions more than cruz. we have millions more than kasich. i mean kasich, now i guess he was one in 417 seen now he is one

. >>> vote 2016 now. it's primary day. connecticut and four other states across the northeast. for the democrats there are 71 connecticut. in the republican race, there are 28 delegates up for grabs. >> reporter: david, connecticut also being one of the five super tuesday primary states, early this morning at 6:00 in the morning. at this noon hour in fairfield, they're voting at ludlow high school. connecticut voters are unaccustomed to having their primary carry more weight than usual. >> i don't remember ever too much attention being paid to a primary in connecticut before, so it's exciting. >> reporter: state elections officials are hoping that a surge in voter registration will result in higher turn out at the polls. on the line, are the primaries in five states. new jersey to connecticut, rhode island, and delaware are at it. for democratic candidate, hillary clinton, and bernie sander, there are 384 delegates at stage. >> it is not enough to diagnose our problems. we need to know how to solve them. and then we've got to bring everybody together to do just that. >> i think we stan

that hasn't been polled. even the primary state of connecticut is less than two weeks away, before yesterday the last time anybody asked that state about their presidential preferences was before thanksgiving. in that long time since, something that's now sort of familiar has happened in the democratic race. something that senator jeff merkley was eluding to. when the poll was taken in connecticut five months ago hillary clinton at the time had a big lead, 19 points over bernie sanders. that was november. that same poll a couple of days ago finds its much closer. senator sanders closing the gap in the margin of error. it's 5.2% and hillary clinton leading in the poll by 6%. connecticut's two u.s. senators are both democrats and both endorsed hillary clinton for president all the way back in june when she was leading national polls by 60 points. a lot has changed since then. we just heard from senator jeff of oregon who made big news by becoming the first sitting u.s. senator to endorse bernie sanders. so jeff is the first one now for sanders. meanwhile, 40 democratic senators have

victory. this one is a diverse victory. you go rhode island, maryland, connecticut and you go pennsylvania and the whole thing, delaware. every one of them was conclusive. every state is so different. it is so different. one of the greats was when you look at almost 50% in massachusetts and almost 50% in the state of alabama, now, that's pretty different. we have all across the board. i think we are going to do really well in washington state. i think we are going to do amazingly well in oregon. we are going to be going, fighting hard. new mexico, we are going to be fighting really hard. i think that governor kasich and senator cruz have really, really hurt themselves with a faulty deal that was defaulted on before they even started. kasich said, what do you mean? aren't they going to vote for me in indiana. i said, i thought they just made that deal. what it is is politicians, all talk, no action. they can't get it done. they certainly can't straighten out our country. we are going to bring back jobs and take care of our military. we are going to be doing so many things speci

pictures from a trump rally in connecticut. his rivals, kasich and cruz stumping in pennsylvania and rhode island. >> the democrats also fighting tooth and nail to grab up hundreds of delegates that are at stake come tuesday. right now you're looking at video of hillary clinton as she works a diner. she has a rally in new haven, connecticut later. senator sanders is hitting delaware and maryland hard. live pictures from maryland a little earlier. coming up, the latest from the campaign trail. >>> plus, the manhunt is on in ohio for the person or the people responsible for a horrific crime. eight members of one family, shot dead execution-style. only small children were spared. we will have the latest on the investigation. >>> hour two of america's election headquarters on this saturday. great to be with you. great to be with you at home. >> thanks for joining us. welcome to the second hour. >> usually this deep into primary season, the nominations are decided, but that is not the case this year around, but both donald trump and hillary clinton have big leads in the polls as the polls

connecticut. as the voting heads up in new england tonight, two states up there voting. donald trump, our projected winner and on the democratic side, a significant victory being projected for hillary clinton as expected in the state of maryland. those are the only races of all of the races, both party, five states, that we can project at this hour. >> so, that's what's interesting is whoat's not on the board on the republican side. too early to call still in delaware and rhode island. and on the democratic side, everything except maryland. >> wrae, i want to see a democrat in rhode island. >> that's going to be very interesting. the one state we've seen poll ng the last week that had bersy sanders ahead. a ppp poll that had him plus four in rhode island. there's a lot of moving parts in rhode island. such a small state. maricopa county, arizona, they had these huge long lines after they closed 70% of their polling places. the state of rhode island decided to do that tonight. they closed 70% of their polling places for this race tonight. we have no idea what kind of effect that is go

2012 four-door from a valet lot in connecticut? any car will do when you're looking to commit a murder, right? and you're forgetting about the dna. you planted it, obviously, because i didn't steal this car! and i sure as hell didn't kill my sister! you said louis bowman also accused the police of planting dna, didn't you? yeah, why? just odd, isn't it? two men making such a bold accusation just within hours of each other. especially given the fact that we think louis bowman may well be innocent. yes, it's odd, but marissa kagan was killed in bristol, connecticut and phoebe elliot died in the bronx. i mean, do you honestly think two different police departments in two different states, including the one we work in, are just gonna sprinkle dna around whenever they need to close a case? that's right, phoebe died in the bronx. marcus said the shooter's car was abandoned in bridgeport, and that's also odd, isn't it? someone stealing a car in connecticut to commit a murder in new york, only to drive it all the way back to connecticut. you have a copy of the lab report that places kei

. >> that's right. maryland, connecticut, rhode isd,land, pennsylvania and delaware voters head to thele whos to cast their presidential ballots. toofday kar erry barrett is here with more. >> reporter: yesterday hillary clinton and bernie sanders appeared in a town hall held by msnbc separately. even after the votes are counted and there's a clear winner, near one appears willing to budge to bring the party back together. in fact, both of them said that that was the other's responsibility. when clinton was asked wha she could concede to bring sander supporters on board, she didn't offer much. >> i have 2.7 million more votes than he has. pledged delegates. >>he it is incumbent upon her fo tell millions of people who right now do not believe in establishment politics or establishment economics who have serious misgivings about a candidate who has received millions of dollars from wall street and other special interest. >> reporter: on the republican side, a lot being madengf the pact between john kasich and ted cr yuz to prevent a donald trump nomination. kasich is not campaigning

gathered at a donald trump rally in connecticut. there's a live picture for you right now. this is the first of two in the state for him. this morning's appearance coming off the heels of his team offering an olive branch of sorts at a closed door meeting this week in florida, promising officials that trump's attacks on the party are just an act. >> when he's on the stage, when he's talking about the kinds of things he's talking about on the stump, he's projecting an image that's for that purpose. the play is evolving into the part that now we've been expecting but he wasn't ready for. >> it appears donald trump wasn't ready to give up that part last night. he railed against ted cruz and the delegate system again. take a listen. >> i have millions more votes than cruz, millions more votes than kasich. i have almost 300 more delegates and that cruz, even though it's a crooked system and he goes around taking them out, they take him out to dinner, they send him to hotels. it's such a crooked system, it's disgusting. >> so let's talk to paul manafort, the convention manager for the do

he really didn't see any reason for the parents of children massacred at sandy hook in connecticut to be able to try to sue the gun makers. i just absolutely disagree. >> reporter: connecticut quote, bernie is a friend but this is really bad. dems can't nominate someone who supports gun manufacturers. daily news editorial page editor arthur brown said the senator's gun comments and a lack of clarity on various issues did not sit well with the pro gun control board. >> the question is, at one point does a gun manufacturer become irresponsible in its marketing of products that potentially are inherently very dangerous? >> reporter: in the midst of a backlash, the sanders campaign released a statement today saying, quote, senator sanders may well have lost his first campaign for congress in 1988 because he supported a ban on assault weapons. he supports president obama's efforts to end gun violence. he voted for the legislation considered by the senate after sandy hook. he has a clear and consistent record on the issue. hillary clinton on the gun issue, also saying in that same statem

start with connecticut which was the closest race on the republican side. but donald trump still won by more than 29 points. he won every county in the state and picked up all 28 delegates. in delaware, trump hit 60% and scored all 16 delegates there. kasich's campaign was hoping to pick up a few delegates in maryland's districts. they were close to d.c., but even there donald trump won and picked up the state's 35 delegates. rhode island, kasich picked up five. in the biggest prize of the night, trump easily picked up the 17 at-large delegates. but he's likely going to get more than that. more than half of pennsylvania's 54 other delegates, which are unbound, some have said they will vote for trump. cruz has 560. kasich, 153. last night at his victory rally, donald trump says he now considers himself the presumptive nominee, and he started taking shots at democratic front runner hillary clinton. >> i think the only card she has is the woman's card. she's got nothing else going. and frankly, if hillary clinton were a man, i don't think she'd get 5% of the vote. the only thing she's g

, pennsylvania, connecticut and maryland, guys. we're looking at how republican voters are saying what they would do if indeed donald trump is the nominee. no matter who they are voting for today looking ahead, if donald trump emerged with the nomination, how would these republican voters behave. take a look at this. in pennsylvania if trump were to win the nomination, 56% of the republican primary voters today say they would definitely vote for him in november. 20% probably. 22% say they would not vote for him. take a look in connecticut. there you have a quarter of the republican voting today said would not vote for him if he's the nominee. 17% say probably and 57% say definitely vote for him. and in maryland, take a look at this, numbers are rather similar. 26% say they would not vote for him. 15% probably. 58% of those voters in the maryland republican primary say they would definitely vote for trump if indeed he is the nominee. while donald trump goes on with this potential contested convention or will he thwart, they are thinking hey, maybe i would support this guy. >> growing acceptance fo

sustaining the support he has across connecticut, rhode island, new york, everywhere he goes, that's not wayning so he's doing this to keep his people fired up, as he is entertained in the game and they love it. and you love it, too. >> we were all laughing, margaret. >> he's sustaining it but not growing it. the problem is, the rest of the republican field is incredibly split. what's extraordinary is that the people who like donald trump are going to love that anyway and we're all laughing at it, mostly you guys, because you're not republican primary voters emplt right? that's what's going on here and it's polarized. the field is split but the momentum is in his direction. it's difficult to see how donald trump doesn't get through this obstacle course successfully. >> let's put this in perspective. donald trump has won 38% of the republican vote thus far in the primary and he's gotten, what, less than 50% of the delegates. over 62% of republicans do not support donald trump. so all of this rah-rah cheerleading about how, oh, after tomorrow that's it, he's the presumptive front-runner, t

hillary clinton in maryland, in delaware, in pennsylvania. we're still keeping an eye on connecticut and rhode island, which we knew at the outset would be the states that bernie sanders had the best shot in tonight. but pennsylvania and maryland were the huge delegate pots, basically, on the democratic side tonight, and for hillary clinton to be taking both of those, with what we're describing in maryland as a significant win, we'll wait to see the size of the win in pennsylvania, this is just another really big night, a big, big night for hillary clinton. >> if you're the director of advance for the clinton campaign and it was on you to choose the ballroom in philadelphia tonight for the victory celebration, you just decided to have a cocktail and celebrate yourself. kristen welker is there for us tonight. kristen, has this been shared with the crowd? >> oh, absolutely, brian. the crowd has erupted a number of times, as these wins have been coming in. i've been talking to clinton campaign officials who describe the mood inside the campaign right now as buoyant. this was the type of nig

just three days democrats and republicans head to the polls in connecticut, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania and rhode island. on the republican side, there was a total of 172 delegates at stake, on the democratic side, 462 up for grabs. 210 of them are in pennsylvania. hillary clinton and bernie sanders held duelling rallies in that state last night. they attacked the other's campaigns. >> my opponent's plan relies on republican governors to pay a third of the cost. somehow i don't think a lot of these republican governors are going to do that. so i don't want to make promises i can't keep. i put forth a plan that i can deliver, debt-free tuition on. >> secretary clinton is doing it the way the vast majority of politicians doing it. she's established a number of super pacs and in the last filing period her major super pac reported $25 million from special interests including $15 million from wall street. at the end of the day, it's not good enough to talk the talk, you got to walk the walk. >> clinton and sanders will campaign in the four other primary states today, while form

trump will win at least three of them. maryland, pennsylvania, and connecticut in the republican presidential primaries based on fox exit polls. in fact, trump is on track to win north of 50% of the vote in each of those states, something he has only done once before, last week in new york. >> on the democratic side, fox can also project that former secretary of state hillary clinton will beat vermont senator bernie sanders in maryland. mrs. clinton is also leading sanders in pennsylvania. although fox exit polls show it is too early to project a winner in that state or in connecticut. now, there are no exit polls in delaware or rhode island. so, we have to wait until actual vote counts start to come in before the fox news decision desk can project winners in either party in uneither one of those states. i want to go now to trump tower in new york city where the celebration is on and our own chief political correspondent carl cameron is there live. carl? >> hi, megyn. well, here at trump tower, they are looking for yet another decisive set of wins. the trump pain believes that he

one of those five states holding primaries tomorrow. let's go to another one in connecticut, the capital city, hartford. chris jansing is standing by there. and i know a sanders rally it looks like is under way where you are. bernie sanders, we know the math, we know it was a tough week last week, what are they trying to get out of tomorrow? >> reporter: what they're trying to do is the exact opposite from what you heard from kristen, maybe pull off an upset. they think they can do well in a place like rhode island and maybe keep it closer. he started today just a couple of minutes ago by talking about a political revolution. that's how he always starts and this is what keeps him going. i'm going to step aside. monday morning, hartford, kek connecticut, the people have been steadily coming in. big crowd for a weekday morning. in addition to that, what we saw this weekend, there were 7,000 people yesterday morning and then on a park near yale university, colleges being the heart of where a lot of his support is. more than 14,000 people came out to the point where he walked out yes

. trump has already been declared the winner in pennsylvania, connecticut and maryland while hillary clinton has won the primary in maryland. democrats are competing for 384 delegates. there are 172 delegates at stake for the republicans. both hillary clinton and donald trump are expected to possibly sweep all five states and maybe bernie sanders may win rhode island. that would keep both clinton and trump well ahead of their rivals but it would still not be enough to submit their nominations. coming up in 15 minutes ken wayne will join us with the latest results. >>> also coming up, a milestone met in the north bay, a full resource experience is nearly complete. why even those once opposed that resort and casino have changed their minds. >>> are we officially out of a drought, a bay water district voted to stop fining excessive water uses. >>> spring showers for your wednesday. unfortunately it doesn't look like it will be a whole lot. turning cloudy as we transition to that wet weather and i will have more for tomorrow and what we have going in the weekend coming up. >>> a generous
