just about an hour, president obama will announce his choice to take the seat on the supreme court. there are reportedly three names on the short list. the president says he has picked someone who is, quote, eminently qualified for the job, but whoever the nominee is, the process is sure to set up a showdown with senate republicans. gop leaders have vowed not to consider any nominee sent their way. republicans instead say the next president should fill the vacancy. good wednesday morning to you. i'm jose diaz-balart from bayside marketplace in miami. we're here covering last night's primary results. we'll get to all that in a moment. first, very busy morning in washington. ron allen is at the white house. ron, good morning. so what do we know? >> well, we know that in about an hour, we will know who the president's nominee is for the supreme court vacancy. a huge decision for president obama. a huge partisan fight that's been brewing for the past month or so while he's been deliberating this decision since the death of justin antonin scalia. now, this morning, the president finally

next year, barack obama will not be president. [applause] that is just about the last of the good news. [laughter] because if we don't act sensibly, hillary clinton will be the next president. [boos] and make no mistake, her national security policies are indistinguishable from barack obama's. it means for more years of the same thing. i have read her memoir, "hard choices," all 600 grinding, tedious pages of it. [laughter] anyhave to strain to find difference between her and obama. i just want to review here today what it means to have a continuation of the policies of the last seven years and the next year before us if hillary is elected. the fact is, obama has allowed the world to grow more dangerous and threatening and chaotic every day. what minimal order there was in the world, established by the united states and a system of alliances starting in 1945, is threatened with collapse by our lack of involvement. obama has taken positions of american strength, political strength, economic strength, and military strength developed over decades and allowed them to erode. we have se

than we saw barack obama win in 2008, 76-23 at this point with 57% roorting. he's doing 10% better than at least for the final number for then-senator obama. so this is a big deal and you can't ignore this enthusiasm or hillary clinton's sort of inability to kind of bring that up, certainly in washington and maybe in other places. and it makes you think that if she does move into the general election, if she is the nominee, how does she combat that against, say, a donald trump candidacy candidacy, that enthusiasm gap. is it enough that democrats are motivated against donald trump? what about being motivated for her? >> one way she'll combat it is with this person we keep referring to from 2008, barack obama. i think he's getting his to-do list if she is indeed the general election noom knee for democrats. we talk about how he will be critical to help re-create the obama coalition of young, black and latino voters to help deliver that and build that with hillary clinton if she's indeed the nominee. i think today we're seeing another piece of his to-do list which is he is going to be crit
