  • It is the biggest contest today in the 2020 primary season.

  • And now, after 7:00 p.m., the polls have closed in two states.

  • In Virginia, the Associated Press projects that former Vice President Joe Biden is the

  • winner. And, in Vermont, Senator Bernie Sanders is the projected winner there in his home

  • state.

  • We start with how the day unfolded.

  • At a polling center in Northern Virginia, Anthony and Neia Drayton said the choice today

  • was clear.

  • ANTHONY DRAYTON, Virginia Voter: Bernie.

  • NEIA DRAYTON, Virginia Voter: Yes, definitely Bernie as well. I think he has like the strongest,

  • like, platform vs. some of the other Democratic candidates. Like, I have always been a Bernie

  • fan ever since, like, 2016. He didn't get the primary then, but hoping for this time.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: More than 500 miles away, Senator Bernie Sanders arrived to cast his vote at

  • another polling center in his home state of Vermont.

  • SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT), Presidential Candidate: To beat Donald Trump, we are going to need

  • to have the largest voter turnout in the history of this country. We need energy. We need excitement.

  • I think our campaign is that campaign.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: While an energetic Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren greeted supporters

  • in Cambridge.

  • SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN (D-MA), Presidential Candidate: It is a moment not just to get

  • rid of Donald Trump. It is a moment to build the America of our best values.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: In all, voters across 14 states cast their primary ballots today, as the U.S.

  • territory in the Pacific, American Samoa, held caucuses.

  • Over 1,300 delegates are at play, more than a third of all Democratic delegates to be

  • chosen this year. North Carolina is the third biggest contest state voting, with 110 delegates

  • at stake.

  • Raleigh resident Keith Miller opted for Joe Biden, but only after the former vice president

  • secured some critical late support.

  • KEITH MILLER, North Carolina Voter: My original intention was Buttigieg. But with Klobuchar's,

  • Buttigieg endorsement of Biden, I went back to Biden, who was my first choice many months

  • ago.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg offered his endorsement

  • last night, after quitting the race.

  • Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar soon followed suit, joining Biden at a raucous evening rally

  • in Dallas.

  • SEN. AMY KLOBUCHAR (D-MN), Former Presidential Candidate: It is up to us, all of us, to put

  • our country back together, to heal this country, and then to build something even greater.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Former candidate Beto O'Rourke of Texas also offered his backing. Biden himself

  • underlined his pitch to voters.

  • JOSEPH BIDEN (D), Presidential Candidate: The Democrats want a nominee who's a Democrat,

  • a lifelong Democrat, a proud Democrat, an Obama-Biden Democrat!

  • (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Seeking to contrast himself with Sanders, a self-styled Democratic socialist,

  • who invited Klobuchar and Buttigieg supporters to join him.

  • SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: So, to all of Amy and Pete's millions of supporters, the door is

  • open. Come on in!

  • (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: But former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said today that calls for moderates

  • to consolidate behind Biden wouldn't deter his own campaign.

  • MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, Presidential Candidate: Have you asked Joe whether he is going to

  • drop out?

  • When you ask him that, when you ask him that, then you can call me up. I have no intention

  • of dropping out. We're in it to win it.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: For some in North Carolina, no other candidate is as well-suited to beat

  • the president in November as Bloomberg, who was on ballots today for the first time.

  • BARLOW HERGET, North Carolina Voter: Joe Biden is a great guy. I voted for Obama twice and

  • Biden. But I think we need somebody that can really go toe to toe with Trump. And he can

  • be just as nasty as Trump. And I think he's got the money to do it.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: And now we have a host of "NewsHour" correspondents and public media reporters

  • spread out in Super Tuesday states across the country, from Texas, to Minnesota, to

  • North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Virginia, where the polls have just closed.

  • Former Vice President Joe Biden is the projected winner.

  • Our Lisa Desjardins has spent the day in Virginia.

  • And, Lisa, it's an early call, suggesting the vice president, former vice president,

  • did well there.

  • You have been looking at these interviews with Virginia voters...

  • LISA DESJARDINS: That's right.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: ... done as they were planning to go vote.

  • LISA DESJARDINS: That's right, Judy.

  • And I will tell you, Joe Biden gets his second win of this presidential campaign here in

  • Virginia, following South Carolina on Saturday, with a broad coalition, it looks like, of

  • voters.

  • In particular, Judy, there were some questions about whether Joe Biden could do well outside

  • of the Deep South of South Carolina. Here tonight in Virginia, by these voters' surveys,

  • we are told -- here are some numbers.

  • So, political geeks, you might want to pull out a pen, but they're significant.

  • Joe Biden, by these numbers, won with white voters in the state of Virginia by 21 points,

  • and with black voters by 34 points, so Bernie Sanders behind in both of those categories

  • by well over double digits.

  • Senator Sanders did win with Latino voters here in this state, according to those surveys,

  • but that's a smaller population.

  • The vast -- the majority, 90 percent of the voters in this state are either African-American

  • or white.

  • One other note, Judy. I think we have a sense of one big and -- one big favor, one thing

  • going in Joe Biden's favor tonight. Northern Virginia turnout, as I have said today, seemed

  • to be very high, perhaps even record.

  • And, Judy, check this out. In these voter surveys, 55 percent of voters here in Virginia

  • today said they have a college degree. That is far above the national average. And it

  • indicates that those voters turned out for Joe Biden.

  • And that may have been what put him over the top.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: It's interesting, Lisa.

  • And you were telling us, in the last hour, you have been talking to different campaigns.

  • The Bloomberg, Mike Bloomberg, campaign, after earlier putting some hopes in Virginia, you

  • said, later on, they were -- they were scaling that back.

  • LISA DESJARDINS: That's right. This was one of their early hoped states.

  • They thought they could lead off the night with a win here. But in the last two weeks,

  • we have seen numbers change dramatically. Talking to voters today -- I talked to one

  • voter who was originally a New Yorker, said she loved what Mayor Bloomberg did there.

  • However, she didn't like his tone on the campaign trail. And, overall, voters said they think

  • Biden -- that I talked to today -- that Biden has a better shot than Bloomberg at beating

  • President Trump.

  • That seems to be what this vote may be about. Results still come in. The Bloomberg campaign

  • still has hopes in states like Tennessee, Oklahoma, some parts of Texas.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Sure.

  • LISA DESJARDINS: But, for right now, the first win goes to Joe Biden.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: And a big win, and, again, the fact that it can be called early significant.

  • Lisa Desjardins, reporting from Northern Virginia.

  • So, we turn now to the biggest prize of this night. That's California; 415 delegates are

  • at stake.

  • That's where we find Amna Nawaz, joining us from San Francisco.

  • So, Amna, a big delegate haul, and a lot of strategy on the part of all these campaigns.

  • AMNA NAWAZ: That's right, Judy.

  • Tonight, California is voting. It is the big kahuna of all those delegates, 415 total at

  • stake. California, really, though, is less about who wins or who loses. Senator Sanders

  • is actually polling really well here statewide. And his campaign tells me they are poised

  • to do very well.

  • So, we're going to wait to see how that pans out for him. But California is more about

  • who can win at the district level. There are basically 53 congressional districts that

  • are not built and not drawn along partisan lines, but along interest and community lines.

  • It was a nonpartisan group that did that redistricting, which means every candidate can go into these

  • specific districts and really make their case and have a chance to pick up delegates. Fifteen

  • percent is the magic number.

  • There's a 15 percent threshold all of the candidates have to meet to get any delegates

  • at all. So what we're really looking at is, if Senator Warren, or Mike Bloomberg, who

  • has blanketed the state with over $70 million worth of ads, if they can chip away at the

  • delegate count and start to pick up some of those delegates in those congressional districts.

  • If they don't meet that threshold, that means dozens of those delegates, Judy, will be going

  • to other campaigns and other candidates. Still very early here, hours left to vote.

  • And we know there's a lot of late voters out there in California.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Hours left to vote, Amna.

  • And we know that, in California, the majority of the vote is coming in by mail, which means

  • this counting could take a while.

  • AMNA NAWAZ: It means a lot of work ahead.

  • It means we may have to extend our hotel stays here.

  • (LAUGHTER)

  • AMNA NAWAZ: The 16 million ballots were actually sent out to California voters, and just a

  • fraction of them -- I have actually been checking the updated results as they come in.

  • Just about a quarter of those ballots have been returned and accounted for so far. California

  • voters can either walk up to a polling location, like this one where we are, outside City Hall,

  • and hand in their ballot, or they can just drop it in the mail today. It just has to

  • be postmarked by today.

  • So, by our count, there's 12 million ballots still out there. There could be days ahead

  • when they're still counting those ballots. A final result may not be until the end of

  • the week or next week, if not longer.

  • But we're waiting to see who those voters will break for. Are they the younger voters

  • who we know have been breaking for Senator Sanders? We don't know. If that happens, then,

  • obviously, that's good news for him.

  • Or are they, like a number of voters we have seen in different parts of California, moderate

  • or independent voters who were just waiting to see if any clear leader in the moderate

  • lane emerged.

  • A lot of those folks look to Joe Biden and South Carolina, maybe looking to him tonight

  • in Virginia with his big win there, and deciding to put their support behind him.

  • Too early to tell here in California tonight, Judy.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Amna Nawaz will be there as they begin the count. We will see how long

  • it takes.

  • Thank you, Amna.

  • And now to Texas. This is the state with the second largest pool of delegates being chosen

  • today, 228.

  • Our own Dan Bush joins me now from Houston.

  • And, Dan, you have also been getting a look at these surveys of voters -- even though

  • the polls haven't closed there yet -- surveys of voters interviewed as they were making

  • up their minds about who to vote for.

  • DANIEL BUSH: That's right, Judy.

  • And we see some interesting breakouts here along ideological lines; 18 percent of Democratic

  • voters said they were very liberal; 18 percent identified as somewhat liberal. That's about

  • one-third.

  • The other two-thirds, Judy, identified as very or somewhat conservative or moderate.

  • So, that reflects still the big challenge for Democrats here in Texas, which is that

  • this is still a pretty conservative state.

  • Now, Democrats like to say that they are going to flip the state. We have heard that every

  • couple of cycles, right? I went back. I looked at the general election results here in Texas.

  • John McCain won in 2008 by 12. Romney won by 16. Trump won by nine.

  • So, it's not a clear trend in the Democrats' favors. Publicly, again, they like to say

  • they're very close. But, privately, several Democratic sources told me they know that

  • they're not still all that close.

  • The reason why, again, Judy, the all-important Latino vote. And I just want to put this in

  • context for a split-second. The census came out with a new set of data just last year

  • saying that now the state is roughly evenly split between the number of Hispanic residents

  • and non-Hispanic white residents.

  • But they predicted that it's going to become majority-minority by 2022, Judy. The issue,

  • however, is that less than half of the state's Hispanic residents are registered to vote.

  • Turnout is still lower among Latinos than non-Latinos.

  • Until that changes, this is still going to be a tough place for Democrats to compete,

  • in part because of the voter surveys we're seeing tonight, still relatively conservative.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Fascinating to see what Democrats are looking at in the Latino community.

  • Just quickly, Dan, Texas, of course, the state where, just last night, Joe Biden received

  • three big endorsements from Pete Buttigieg, from Amy Klobuchar and Beto O'Rourke, a congressman

  • who ran for president and dropped out.

  • That -- are you seeing an effect at this point, talking to voters?

  • DANIEL BUSH: I am, Judy.

  • They see what's happening. They see those former rivals that you just mentioned coalescing

  • behind Biden. Several see that as a sign that he is the clear moderate front-runner.

  • So, yes, Judy, voters do see that as a sign. And people I spoke with at polling precincts

  • today did bring that up as one of the reasons why they were voting for Biden, if they were

  • supporting Biden.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: All right, Dan Bush, reporting from Houston.

  • And we will be talking to you throughout tonight.

  • And now joining me from Minneapolis, Mary Lahammer. She's with Twin Cities PBS.

  • Mary, of course, that's Minnesota. That's the home of Amy Klobuchar, who just has dropped

  • out in the last 48 hours, as we just said, endorsed Joe Biden.

  • What effect is that having, as far as you can tell, on voters in her home state?

  • MARY LAHAMMER, Twin Cities PBS: It is definitely having an impact.

  • Just moments ago, I spoke with another Klobuchar voter who, at the last minute, decided to

  • go to Biden. Now, this voter said he decided to wait, because Minnesota had gone to a caucus

  • system. Last time, in the caucuses, Sanders won big, 62 percent of the vote here.

  • This time, we have a presidential primary ballot, and we have had early voting for some

  • time. And so that ballot still has 15 Democratic names on it. Only five of those 15 are still

  • in the race.

  • And Klobuchar is one of those who is not in the race. So, the question is whether her

  • voters are going to go to Biden and how much Sanders is surging. He held a rally here last

  • night, very well-attended, again, did very well here four years ago.

  • So, we're definitely going to watch how that goes forward, also watching Klobuchar's future.

  • She might not be in the presidential race, but there's a lot of questions whether she

  • could be in the vice presidential race, whether she could be running for Senate leadership,

  • if Democrats can take the Senate, maybe majority leader, maybe attorney general.

  • She was a county attorney here, maybe even Supreme Court. So, I think maybe her national

  • profile may not be over.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: A lot of -- a lot of speculation about that.

  • One other thing to ask you about, Mary. And that's Mike Bloomberg, his campaign, of course,

  • running an effort all across the country, putting a lot of money into advertising.

  • What are you hearing, seeing from voters about him?

  • MARY LAHAMMER: Yes, I spoke to a number of swing voters today, and asked them all, why

  • isn't anyone talking about Bloomberg? With Klobuchar out of the race, are they interested

  • in him?

  • Every single one of those voters said to me, he's too much like Trump. We don't want another

  • Trump. We don't want another New York. We don't want another kind of brash -- Minnesotans

  • are kind of tame in their rhetoric.

  • There's that phrase Minnesota nice. We kind of like our politicians to behave and be nice

  • here.

  • So, Bloomberg just doesn't seem to be getting a lot of traction, even though he spent a

  • lot of money, has reached out in unique ways, with text messages and phone calls and, as

  • you said, a lot of advertising.

  • But it looks like, especially based on the most recent polls, that it was Klobuchar and

  • Sanders' race. We will see if Biden can get a boost.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: All right, Mary Lahammer reporting from Minneapolis, thank you, Mary.

  • We will be coming back to you.

  • And I'm sure, as I turn to Stu Rothenberg here in the studio, there are New Yorkers

  • who would defend their state and say, we have some nice people here too.

  • Stu, you have been with us on many election nights, primary nights over the years. Look

  • at these numbers so far, the fact that...

  • STUART ROTHENBERG, Inside Elections: Yes.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: ... the networks, Associated Press able to call Virginia as soon as the

  • polls closed at 7:00 in the East.

  • No surprise, they -- the call was made for Bernie Sanders in Vermont, but the fact that

  • Joe Biden winning in Virginia big and early.

  • STU ROTHENBERG: I think you're right, Judy.

  • The early call is a sign of a big win. That creates the sense of momentum. It's only one

  • state, of course, but it's good news that already the -- kind of the narrative has taken

  • the first step, I think, which is Biden held onto African-American voters.

  • And I looked at the voter surveys, and Bernie Sanders did great among younger voters. But

  • he always does great among younger voters. His problem was, he did poorly, again, among

  • seniors, and, of course, Joe Biden did well.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: And so you were able to get a look at these interviews.

  • STU ROTHENBERG: Yes.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: As we said, Associated Press conducted interviews with voters across the

  • country...

  • STU ROTHENBERG: Right.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: ... sampling in all 14 of these states to get a sense of why voters were voting

  • the way they did.

  • What else are you seeing?

  • STU ROTHENBERG: Well, we're seeing the patterns hold.

  • I mean, four years ago, Hillary Clinton won Virginia comfortably. So it's not surprising

  • that Joe Biden won it. But if you think back a few days ago, a few weeks ago, there was

  • all this talk about the fractured, divided pragmatist wing of the Democratic Party.

  • These are not conservative Democrats. These are progressive Democrats who are pragmatic.

  • And there was all this talk about, well, they would hurt one another and who would get viability?

  • The early indications are from Virginia -- and it's just very early -- is that there seems

  • to be a rallying around Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. Got a long way to go. We got California,

  • which was not part of Super Tuesday four years ago. It was in June.

  • We still have Texas, where Bernie Sanders has made major inroads among Latinos. So,

  • there are lots of questions here.

  • But what I have seen from Virginia, at least, is good news for Joe Biden.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: It's interesting what difference a win can make.

  • Joe Biden's big 30-some-point win in South Carolina, which he was expected to win, but

  • this was a big win. It changed the narrative almost immediately.

  • STU ROTHENBERG: And he's still the guy who finished like fourth and fifth in the early

  • contests. And he was second in Nevada with just 19 percent or something.

  • But you're right. The storyline has been rewritten. And my guess is, these results are going to

  • add to that, but we will wait and see.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: We will wait and see.

  • Tell us quickly, Stu, what else are you looking at tonight? I know we have talked about age

  • breakdown, gender and so forth. What else are you looking for tonight?

  • STU ROTHENBERG: Well, we're concerned about delegates.

  • In February, 155 delegates were chosen. Tonight, over 1,300 delegates will be chosen. That's

  • a big deal. I know we reported on the delegates in Iowa and South Carolina and Nevada and

  • the like, but there were just a handful of people, and a handful of delegates were awarded

  • there.

  • So, we're looking at states. And we're looking at African-Americans. We're looking at Bloomberg.

  • Is he viable any place? Is he hurting Joe Biden?

  • Interestingly, if he does well, Joe Biden can say, well, I'm leading the pragmatists,

  • but support is being siphoned off. He can also say, Klobuchar and Buttigieg just left...

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Buttigieg.

  • STU ROTHENBERG: ... just left the race, and people had voted early.

  • So, I'm looking -- looking at all those kinds of things to see if there's momentum.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: But, still, we're looking at it -- and we only got a few seconds at this

  • point, but we're still looking at a divided Democratic Party, with the enthusiastic support

  • still out there for Bernie Sanders.

  • We only have a couple of states we have -- we have been -- we have projected so much.

  • STU ROTHENBERG: He still has resources, and he has terrific grassroots support, absolutely.

  • There is a race under way.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: There's a race under way.

  • And we haven't even mentioned Elizabeth Warren. We will come back to her. We will come back

  • to her later on.

  • So, it is a little after 7:30 in the East, and that means the polls have closed in another

  • state. That's the state of North Carolina.

  • And we have news to report.

  • Five television networks are now projecting that former Vice President Joe Biden is the

  • projected winner in the state of North Carolina, where, as I said, the polls just closed at

  • 7:30.

  • Our Yamiche Alcindor, she's there in Raleigh. She's been talking to voters. She joins us

  • now.

  • So, Yamiche, you have also had a chance to look at some of these voter surveys. What

  • are they telling you about how Joe Biden did it?

  • YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Well, first, this is a big win for Joe Biden.

  • This is a state that Democrats are looking at to make the argument of electability. About

  • 50 percent of African-Americans broke for Joe Biden. They supported him, and 25 percent

  • went for Bernie Sanders, while 12 percent went for Michael Bloomberg.

  • But going on the issues of what's important to voters, I want to put up a graphic for

  • viewers on the issues that voters were thinking about as they went to the polls. Forty percent

  • of voters said that health care was their number one topic. Then that was followed by

  • the economy and jobs and climate change both at 16 percent.

  • Then we had race relations at 9 percent and gun policy at 7 percent. So, what we see is,

  • of course, health care being a very big issue. And it seems as though, when voters were thinking

  • about health care, they thought that Joe Biden and his plan to tweak the Affordable Care

  • Act, and not to upend the entire health care system with Medicare for all, is what they

  • wanted.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: Interesting, because, health care, of course, has been a huge issue throughout

  • this campaign.

  • Of course, Bernie Sanders has made Medicare for all, a single-payer health system, really

  • the emblem of his campaign. And yet voters in North Carolina looking another way.

  • And, Yamiche, you can't discount the fact that North Carolina's neighbor to the south

  • went very heavily, as we have just been discussing, for Joe Biden just days ago.

  • YAMICHE ALCINDOR: That's right.

  • What we see for Joe Biden is a campaign that was really struggling before South Carolina

  • and before North Carolina now. Joe Biden was someone who a lot of voters told me they were

  • worried about. They said, look, we like Joe Biden, but he doesn't look like he's going

  • to have the stamina to stay in this race.

  • And what we have now seen is that African-American voters have delivered at least two big wins

  • for Joe Biden here in the South, North Carolina and South Carolina. And that's a key constituency

  • for Democrats.

  • It's also why we saw other candidates, like Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, have to

  • end up dropping out, because they couldn't get the traction among black voters that Joe

  • Biden was able to get.

  • So, this is, of course, a state that Joe Biden's now going to be able to say, look, African-American

  • voters are important, they're important to our party, and I'm the one who can pull them

  • in, the one who can bring them up and make sure that they turn out in November, and are

  • also going to be important as I win and try to beat President Trump.

  • So this is a big win for Joe Biden here in this state.

  • JUDY WOODRUFF: And interesting, too, when you talk about African-American voters, Yamiche,

  • because we know they will play a big role in the Democratic primary -- are playing a

  • big role in the Democratic primary in another Super Tuesday state. That's Alabama.

  • And we will see about Tennessee, where the polls don't close. Alabama, the polls close

  • at 8:00 Eastern. Tennessee, the polls' closing time has been moved back to 9:00 because of

  • the terrible weather, the tornadoes.

  • Yamiche Alcindor, standing by with us from Raleigh, North Carolina, Yamiche, thank you

  • very much. We're going to be coming back to you throughout the night.

  • Thank you.

It is the biggest contest today in the 2020 primary season.
