in. bernie sanders was not ahead in the polls going into michigan but he is right now, 51.7%, 46.5%. actually, it's a pretty significant lead right now, that's a lead of 27,415, 271,051 for sanders, 243,636 for clinton. i guess they're not very happy right now, the clinton folks when they see these numbers, though we're not quite ready to make a projection. >> hillary clinton just finished speaking here a few moments ago and did not acknowledge the race in michigan, did not acknowledge what is really going on that is consume beiing everyone in her campaign. they are poring over the numbers county by county. wayne county may not have delivered as big of a margin as they expected. they're also looking at ann arbor, home to the university of michigan, not far from detroit. they believe that senator sanders may be running up a big margin there as well. so the clinton campaign, about an hour or so ago, wolf, thought this would maybe be a three or point win or so. they believe this is incredibly close. they believe it could be less than 1%. and they are uncertain at this hour, if they wi

washington state, with 13% of the delegate vote in, bernie sanders up with 33.3% to hillary clinton's 26.4%. and now let's turn to the alaska democratic caucuses, 15% in. bernie sanders with an even wider margin so far, 81.6% for sanders, hillary clinton with 18.4%. this is the percentage of delegates that are going to them, not the popular vote in those states. we're giving the information as we get them from the states. let's go to paul in anchorage, alaska. at the site of one of these caucuses. paul, i know you're only in one precinct. you have an idea how turnout compares this caucus season as opposed to 2008? >> reporter: we do. they are pacing ahead. they believe they are going to shatter a record. by the way, jake, actually they combined 14 of the most populous districts in all of alaska, anchorage, into west anchorage high school, so just here alone we watched the democracy in action in quite a few precincts. they are getting ready to elect delegates, to the state convention. and everybody's trying to lobby for the reasons they want to represent the democratic party here. and

two day's primaries. it seems to be a big upset in michigan. >> reporter: that's right. bernie sanders is going to win the michigan democratic primary. here is why. if you look at the latest race board you will see that bernie sanders is up by about 34,000 votes, 74% reporting. the biggest counties where the most votes is the county, the university of michigan. bernie sanders is winning that counting by about 57 to 42. the on other county that is still largely is wane county, detrait. hillary clinton is winning that 47 to 52. a majority of the delegates 130 will go to bernie sanders but the split will be even. the closeness of this race is going to mean that mississippi, the results there matter even more because look at this. hillary clinton won 83 to 16. it means that she will work away from mississippi with about 39 or 30 of the elected delegates. bernie sanders will get five or six. she will add to her 200 delegate margin by about 20 by the time all of the votes are counted tonight. hillary clinton will gain in terms of her path to the nomination even though michigan is a huge setb

michigan where bernie sanders despite what everyone said going in, all the polls showed going in, he upsets hillary clinton in the state of michigan winning that primary there, barely, but a big win and a psychological victory for the sanders campaign. hillary clinton took mississippi by a lot and she did win the most delegates of the night, but bernie sanders in michigan was huge. even before it was official, bernie sanders called it a fantastic night. >> what tonight means is that the bernie sanders campaign, the people's -- the revolution, the political revolution that we are talking about is strong in every part of the country and frankly we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. >> what does this mean for the delegate race? as we said hillary clinton won the most delegates tonight and she leads in that hunt. those numbers right there do include super delegates, but even without super delegates hillary clinton leads by more than 200. >> for the republicans, a very big night for donald trump. trump sweeping a victory in the michigan and mississippi primaries. dominating the

see, 14,000 votes, give or take, that is the democratic race with bernie sanders in the lead in michigan to the big board steve, what's going on in this race? >> we have a barn burner on our hands right here. you put the margin up there, it's just under 15,000 right. this was bigger earlier. i can show you what's happening. we have real time election drama playing out and the ep i center of it is detroit. that is wayne county. so hillary clinton right now is leading by 23,000 votes here. we expect this is likely to expand. it's unclear where the vote is coming from. it looks like about 60% of the vote is in from wayne county. this margin was much closer earlier. what you have in this county -- this is the biggest county on the democratic side, you have a real divide in terms of the population and in terms of the voting patterns in detroit and the counties outside of detroit. early in the night bernie sanders was competitive here and what happened about ten minutes ago hillary clinton's lead exploded from a couple of thousand votes and now it's up to about 23,000. it looks look d

total of 142 delegates are on the line. bernie sanders looking for new wins and a fresh shot of momentum against hillary clinton. she has a significant lead in the delegate race, and this round of voting, well, it's critical for sanders to have a chance at catching up. there's no voting today for the republicans. the republican candidates are looking ahead to the next big battleground for both parties, the wisconsin primaries on april 5th. we have correspondents inside the caucuses, digging for new information. first let's go to sara sizener sidner in washington. what's going on? >> reporter: got new numbers, these are final totals but just a snapshot because it's still just 13 of the 17 precincts that are here. the number is -- 28% for hillary clinton, and 72% for bernie sanders. clearly swaying very much for bernie sanders. i want to get you a look inside of the last of the four. there are four tables left here. so four precincts left who are still trying to divvy out who is going to be the folks that they were choose to go to the next round of voting, and you're seeing the pa

right now. she has 204,000 votes to bernie sanders 125,000 votes. she has 60.5% to bernie sanders 36.9%. an impressive win for hillary clinton over bernie sanders. let's go over to john king and see what's going on as we await the other contests in utah and idaho. >> as impressive lead for donald trump. 61% of the expected vote in statewide. it's worth noting he doesn't show up on our board because he dropped out of the race, but marco rubio is getting about 17% of the vote. marco rubio because of the early voting running ahead of john kasich. you have a lot of people out there saying if you them up -- >> they voted for him before he dropped out. >> right. it's not the way it works. if you didn't have early voting would those votes have gone to cruz today, that's the conversation on social media, but you play by the rules and there was early voting and this is what we have tonight. an impressive donald trump victory. 58 delegates. there's 40 more in utah. look at the numbers. you pop up the largest county in the state. the sheriff was for donald trump. the former governor for donald tr

clinton and does at times coordinate with the campaign is definitely taking aim at bernie sanders, specifically if he's going to be staying in the race from here. >> all right, briana keilar, thank you so much. that is a difficult role for hillary clinton. you don't want to be pushing out or seem to be pushing out bernie sanders. he has every right to run. he's winning states, he remains winning states. he may well win missouri and of course she did the same thing in 2008 plus she needs bernie voters. she needs them to vote for her and she needs them to be enthusiastic for her. >> big time. it really is a pickle because she wants -- >> that's the second pickle of the night. >> is it? what was the first pickle? >> it's a veritable vlasic jar. >> we digress. the point is that she really wants to turn to donald trump and to the republicans in general. primarily because it's a more natural target. it's in her comfort zone as opposed to someone running in her own party. the fact of the matter is there is a massive enthusiasm gap. the clinton campaign knows it. you want people who are o

well with minorities, with african-americans. as opposed to bernie sanders, not yet. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. bernie sanders didn't campaign in mississippi, didn't go down to mississippi to campaign because they believe that their best bang for their buck as one adviser explained to me is staying in michigan, a place like michigan. they plan to fight for michigan as they've seen. also ohio, also illinois, and they will be going on to florida but that is a tough state for them as well here. so the sanders campaign really hoping for a good showing in michigan, but we'll find out in an hour or even more when the polls close in michigan, wolf. >> this is her 12th win so far coming into tonight, she had won 11 contests. >> reporter: right. >> i assume that some point we're going to be hearing from hillary clinton behind you, right? do we have any idea when she's going be speaking? >> reporter: we certainly are, wolf. she has arrived in cleveland, or is on her way to cleveland, i should say, and they are really keeping an eye on michigan. they may speak more closer to the time

drug under the federal -- [crowd booing] bernie sanders: it is a schedule one drug under the federal controlled substance act, right alongside of heroin. in my view, that is nuts. and that is why we have introduced legislation to take marijuana out of the federal controlled substance act.

watching as the polls have just closed in georgia, virginia, and senator bernie sanders' home state of vermont. john terrett is covering the sander's campaign, lisa stark is covering hillary clinton, michael shure is covering marco rubio, randall pinkston is in palm beach, florida with donald trump, and ali velshi is in texas where the biggest haul of delegates is up tonight. starting with david schuster. >> the results are coming? in these three states, and we can report based on the exit polling that on the democratic side, hillary clinton has been declared the win for the state of georgia, bernie sanders has won vermont and hillary clinton has won virginia. georgia and virginia for hillary clinton, and vermont for bernie sanders. let's look closer at georgia, and this is something to look for now. 102 delegates. and the question is if hillary clinton wins by 20 points or more, and keep in mind she won by 15, and is bernie sanders able to keep it close. if he keeps it close, he doesn't fall so far behind in the delegate count. even if he wins 70/30 in vermont, it's not going to make

live to do your born, michigan for a rally with bernie sanders. -- dearborn, michigan. >> coming up in just a few hours from now, we need everybody here to show up, to bring your friends, to bring your relatives, to show the country, to show this whole nation that we are ready for real inclusion, economic justice for all, right here. let's start it right here. [applause] so proud tell you i am to be worn right here in the state of michigan. i lived here for the first 22 years of my life mma dragged me to minnesota. you guys here got an extra congressman in may. as i served in the u.s. congress with my good friend bernie sanders, he has been there for the american worker, he has been there for the american family, he has never stopped fighting for us, which is why i'm so proud to support bernie sanders, everybody. [applause] thatt want to let you know everybody in this whole country is a part of this thing. when the anti-muslim hate was raging real ugly back in december -- you remember when trump was talking all that stuff? we had to explain to our kids that no, your neighbors don't

really surprising plot twist. bernie sanders pretty much out of nowhere, he wins the michigan primary, upset over hillary clinton. now, hillary clinton did win mississippi by a very big margin, and as a result, she did win the most delegates overnight. but bernie sanders, in some ways the big story of the morning. and even before the result was official, bernie sanders said he knew he was having a fantastic night. >> what tonight means is that the bernie sanders' campaign, the people's revolution that we are talking about, the political revolution that we are talking about is strong in every part of the country, and frankly, we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. >> let's look at the delegate math as it stands right now. hillary clinton with more than 1200, bernie sanders at 572. this includes super delegates. if you take out the super delegates, hillary clinton leads by more than 200 delegates. again, she did win more delegates overnight. >> for the republicans, some big news. we got to call hawaii. hawaii, the icing on the cake for donald trump. cnn project donald tr

states make their picks. a tight race between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. an american killed. >> i heard someone yelling there are terrorists >>> an american student is stabbed to death in one of three attacks in israel not long before vice president joe biden arrived in the country for talks. problematic plan >> the expulsion of news is prohibited >>> a proposal to send refugees back to turkey in exchange for more e.u. aid money could be illegal. escalating tensions. >> translation: government will continue to make efforts to sanction and put on north korea >>> south korea imposes new sanctions on north korea as the president there prepares an arsenal >>> >>> good evening. we begin al jazeera america's international hour in the u.s. with politics and another round of presidential primaries. we've got winners in two of the four races. hillary clinton has won the mississippi. bernie sanders is holding a lead in a race that is too close. on the republican donald trump was the big winner in both. david shut terror joins us with the-- shuster joins us. >> reporter: all of those a

those twho support senator bernie sanders. >> look, it's a bernie person. hello, bernie. hello, bernie. get your people in line, bernie. get your people in line. can you imagine bernie saying that trump should get his people under control, that they put in these people? >> sanders' camp responded in a statement today writing, "as is the case virtually every day, donald trump is showing the american people that he is a pathological liar." obviously, while i appreciate that we had supporters at trump's rally in chicago, our campaign did not organize the protests. we are covering this story this hour from all angles. jim acosta and ryan young are at the site of trump's event tonight in kansas city, missouri. also with us cnn political commentators jeffrey lord and ben ferguson. jeffrey is a trump supporter. let me begin with jim acosta. you're inside. set the scene about what trump will talk about especially of-in the wake of what happened in chicago. >> i can show you what's happening inside the theater right now. i can show you something we don't typically see at trump rallies, a pretty

export our products, not our jobs, which is why i also disagree with bernie in his vote on the financing mechanism, so we can actually export our products instead of losing to factories overseas. but she's put together a trade enforcement effort that i've been calling on for years, a trade prosecutor that would report directly to the president of the united states, and take on other countries, just like we do in any other illegal activity, to take them on on behalf of american workers and businesses. >> senator, thank you for your time on a busy night for michigan. we appreciate it. now we're going to hop right over to kasie hunt, i think a few steps away, in another part of the spin room. can you tell us your thoughts on what we're hearing. the senator stabenow points out a point, the nafta, or the '94 crime bill, we're talking about hillary clinton's record of first lady before she took elective office. basically saying that's not really fair game. >> hey, ari, i actually talked a little bit to this -- about this with some of sanders' top campaign aides here in the spin room.

bernie sanders for protesters at his rallies. should sanders tell his supporters to stop? his wife is my guest. let's go "outfront." >> good evening, i'm erin burnett. outfront tonight, a north carolina sheriff saying he's investigating donald trump in his campaign. he's looking into whether the gop frontrunner could be charged with inciting a riot. the investigation, which could be political in part, stems from this incident when one of trump's supporters sucker punched a black protester at his rally. at this moment, donald trump is speaking live with a crowd of supporters in the crucial state of ohio on the eve of super tuesday number three. it comes as the war of words over the level of anger and violence at trump rallies ramped up today. hillary clinton taking it to a whole new level, speaking to a televised town hall. she said, when you are inciting mob violence, which is what trump is doing, there is a lot of memories that people have. people remember mob violence that led to lynching. people remember mob violence that led to people being shot, being grabbed, being mistreated. sara

will also look for your tweets at c-span. just to let you know, bernie sanders held a rally just a short while ago in dearborn just outside of detroit. kevin in california who is supporting hillary clinton. kevin: i am very proud of the campaign she has ran. i can't wait until she is president of the united states. >> go ahead robert. yes, i am supporting donald trump. what he liked most about mr. trump -- >> what he liked most about mr. trump hash -- abouto you like most donald trump? >> he runs his own campaign. hillary clinton is going to go to jail. >> let's hear from lori. >> i am in support of hillary. that other guy that was just on the air is stupid. she does not need to be in jail. for her because her husband did great things and she can do the same. >> is there anything and bernie in berniessage -- sanders's message that you liked? >> no. >> the latest poll has come in. hillary according to real are ar politicsreal cle is up by 13. hillary clinton with 58.6. richard is next up in california too. >> i support bernie sanders. >> tell us why. richard: i can relate to him. he

fascinating. david shuster was saying that bernie sanders may lose massachusetts. what a thing, to have the state of massachusetts going to hillary clinton when it seems so right for bernie sanders. same thing for the republicans because look, the figures, charlie baker , donald trump to the republican party. just amazing >>> thanks so much. don't be the last guy out. have somebody else switch the lights out for you. back to the studio >>> we're going to miami. hillary clinton spoke there earlier tonight. mike vercara joinss there. >> while the republican political class appeared to have feet of clay, donald trump is defying them every step of the way. when bernie sanders came close to upsetting hillary clinton in ohio at the caucuses there, people were saying look at this, this is an unprecedented year. it still is by virtue of the fact that donald trump is doing what he is doing, but hillary clinton now emerging as the favorite that she always was and essentially bernie sanders back to where he started in june when his campaign was launch ed ed. that is a long shot. the math is very g

webster who is in for liz liz claman. >> senator bernie sanders and ted cruz in front of front runners six days before the wisconsin primary. cruz leading donald trump by about 10 points in the latest poll by the university law school. the sex senator joined by his wife and former presidential candidate carly fiorina. the businessman trump, just one day after he, cruz and ohio governor john kasich each said, no, they are not likely to event the nominee. bernie sander has a 9-point lead over hillary clinton. sanders holding aurally in madison at any moment. despite the numbers, clinton focusing on new york. the senator holding efnlt in -- event in wisconsin. on wall street, markets heading for new highs, the dow jones up 100 points. by the way, we are less an hour to the closing bell. i'm ashley webster for liz claman. let's begin the countdown. it's the countdown. s&p 500. the dow up 156 points at one point today. has come a bit. we will take it. while the markets seem to be having some spring fever volatility or the so-called fear index hitting lowest level since october. things calmi

clinton and bernie sanders go ahead to head right here on cnn. hillary clinton comes in with the significant lead over bernie sanders in the critical delegate count. sanders riding high on the morale. and they will step up on the stage tonight just as caucuses close in maine. which candidate can harness the momentum today. first we have to begin with some very sad breaking news. the death of the former first lady of the united states, nancy reagan. wife of the 40th president of the united states. she passed away today of congestive heart failure at age 94. tributes to mrs. reagan are pouring in across the country and around the world. anderson cooper is here with me. he knew the former first lady personally. anderson, you knew her thanks to your mom. >> i did. i grew up knowing nancy reagan. my mom and her became very close friends when she was first lady. and she used to stay at our house in new york when she wanted to get away from washington. and over the years we kept in touch. i saw her in, i took her to lunch in los angeles not too long ago. just a very sad passing. she, i

give me any credit. do you remember when she was beating bernie easily? suddenly, four weeks ago, bernie was doing great. you know why? she went down. and you know why? because of my skirmish. and i get no credit for that. please give me credit. [applause] mr. trump: so, i look forward to that race. and again, i haven't really done anything with hillary. we haven't started with hillary except for the one moment for weeks ago -- four weeks ago. i heard hillary today and i watched her statement tonight and her statement is "make america whole." that's a terrible statement. [laughter] mr. trump: make america hwol -- whole. i think she means we are in a whole. we are in a deep -- in a hole. we are in a deep hole, and we are trying to dig our way out. make america whole? no, make america great again. that's what mine is. make america great again. [applause] ok? so, again, this has been a very exciting evening. again, i just have to think the people of louisiana and of theucky -- to thank people of louisiana and of kentucky. last night, we had a group of people in an airplane hangar. t

. again, not as close as the republican race, 62% of the vote in, 2-point lead for bernie sanders. what are we missing? let's check over here in jackson county, in kansas city, only 63% of the vote. hillary clinton with a decent lead there. there's some place to make up votes. so hillary clinton is not out of this race by any means. as i just showed you on the republican side, now you come to the democratic side, st. louis county, hillary clinton winning by a ten-point advantage there, half of the votes till out and st. louis city, i found like a broken record, votes a little quicker would be helpful, thank you. she's getting 71%, a large african-american constituency there. the places that are missing a lot of votes, places where hillary clinton is running strong or expected to run strong. you can make the case she can catch up. the fight now is for the moral victory of having that state your color blue. >> let's look at illinois. >> hillary clinton now leading in illinois. another nail biter in the industrial midwest. what are we missing? if you come down to the areas where sena

idaho's contest and bernie sanders one michigan. this morning, we want to begin with who you ar supporting right nowe and if that candidate is not the nominee, how will you vote? democrat -- republicans -- and independents -- you can also send us a tweet or go to facebook.com/c-span. the phone lines are open. you can start dialing in now. people are contemplating trying to stop donald trump and how they do that if he continues to rack up victories. we want to turn to all of you and ask if he is not the nominee or pure candidate, supporting ted cruz or marco rubio is not the nominee, how do you plan to vote? if hillary clinton is the nominee, how do you plan to vote if she is not your candidate? the same for bernie sanders. we want to know what you think. let me show you were the delicate stands right now, because it is all about the math. if you go to our website c-span.org, you can find this constantly being updated. take a look for democrats, hillary clinton has 1221 delegates after las-- yesterday's primary. bernie sanders has 571. 451 are superdelegates for clinton. 25 are superdelegat

energy. the amount of enthusiasm is still there. you have behind my shoulder, a sign with bernie sanders' face on it saying you're our only hope. with the charter plane to seattle just moments ago that plane does not have wi-fi on it. so the sanders campaign was out of wi-fi zone and out of any view of results for about three hours. and then just as they were touching down you could hear the cheers erupt from the front of the cabin. and that would be where the sanders campaign found out they were finally winning in alaska by large margins. of course they won margin, we'll see how the night goes. they're feeling good. >> they're feeling good, you can read confidence in the schedule and he is out here where you are in wisconsin, another important state. he keeps moving forward and staying out on the field. what are you seeing in terms of how they're building the path in the next ten days? >> well, i think that is absolutely right, ari, even when they display there will be more ugly nights for them. they have always been looking forward, being here in wisconsin, april 5th will be th

clinton. you're a traitor to your gender if you support bernie sanders. if you're a black republican, some people say you shouldn't be voting republican. i really reject that. one of the things i don't like about donald trump and something a lot of his supporters seem to be espousing is the same identity politics thing. there's a sense if you're a working class white person, you should be supporting donald trump. he's not saying it. but this is a message i'm seeing from people out there, it's somewhat subtle. i hate tribalism. i think jeffrey lord had a point when he talked about the left dividing us. unfortunately, i think some of trump's fans say well, they do it, too, we should start doing it. that's not the answer. >> does he bear any responsibility to denounce what his supporters are saying, to say i denounce, i don't want that? >> i think it's incumbent upon you as a political leader to distance yourself from anything, even the hint of racism. as a conservative, it's incredibly important that conservatism not be tarnished by the unseemliness, the ugliness of race. whatever it i

know, bernie was saying, mr. trump should speak to his crowd. mr. trump -- you know where they come from? bernie's crowd. they're bernie's crowd. yeah. thank you. get them out. good. every five minutes or so one of bernie's people -- and sometimes hillary -- but there's not a lot of flavor and not a lot of fervor with hillary. so you don't have too much of hillary. i'll tell you. so, anyway -- thank you. oh, where do these people come from? but i want to introduce two friends of mine. they've done an incredible -- an incredible job. they love cleveland. they love ohio. they own this place. they run it beautifully. patrick park and raymond park. come up for a second, patrick, raymond -- get up here. patrick, get up here. come on. what a great guy. where is raymond, patrick? get raymond. come on. these two folks they employ a lot of people, ty spend a lot of money in the area and i just wanted to thank them very much. come here, patrick. >> any of our guys here? yeah! [ cheers ] the next president of the united states, the people's choice, donald trump! >> all right. listening to dona

, stunning upset for bernie sanders. so many people casting their states on that tuesday, looking to a huge tuesday six days from now. the entire race shaken up. we'll break down the winners and losers ahead. good morning. welcome to "early start." >> it's wednesday, march 9th. it's 5:00 a.m. on the east. we've been on tv for 76 straight hours. want to welcome our viewer the in the united states and around the world. this was a stunning result, an upset victory for bernie sanders in michigan. i don't think the sanders campaign saw it coming, the clinton campaign didn't see it coming and the polls didn't show it likely to happen at all. hillary clinton won decisively in mississippi. look at that margin there. as a result, hillary clinton won the most delegates on this super tuesday. she extended her delegate lead. that is the margin now, that includes superdelegates, hillary clinton more than 200 ahead and it grew yesterday. >> on the republican side, donald trump picked up michigan, mississippi and hawaii. that happened a couple hours ago. ted cruz won in idaho. an awful night for marco rub
