3:01 pm
and tensions >> between them. >> also tonight, the president is preparing to address the nation and the many challenges he's facing right now, i'll ask a key member of the biden camp what the president needs to accomplish in his state of the union address tomorrow night and a terrifying close call for the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, or russian missiles striking not far from his convoy and killing five people welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, a urine. the situation room tonight the path is clear for president joe biden and former president donald trump to do battle again an unprecedented and likely very divisive rematch that both of them have been expecting. and
3:02 pm
many americans have made it clear they don't want you're cnn's jeff zeleny tonight. >> the curtain finally goes up on a historic presidential rematch. joe biden and donald trump emerging from super tuesday primaries as the effective nominees of their parties. but there are warning signs in winning with both men facing distinct challenges of rebuilding their coalitions. nikki haley, the last standing republican rival suspended her campaign without offering an endorsement. it is now up to >> donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it, who did not support him and i hope he does that after months of warning republicans about trump's vulnerabilities, xi bluntly said the burden is on the former president to win over her supporters and unify the party at its best. >> politics is about bringing people into your cause not turning them away. and our conservative cause badly needs
3:03 pm
more people this is now his time for choosing any fence-mending got off to a rocky start with trump saying on social media, nikki haley got trounced last night in record, sen. fashion, president biden struck a deal different note and extended his hand saying donald trump made it clear he doesn't want nikki haley's supporters. i want to be clear. there is a place for them in my campaign. it's far from certain. were haley voters ultimately will go. but an analysis of cnn exit polls from five states found only 19% said they would be satisfied with trump is the nominee. and 79% dissatisfied in the closing days of the primary, voters expressed the challenges of unity. >> trump can't win without her supporters in called her names, isn't going to help him when she worried that some of her supporters may go to biden maybe third party eight months
3:04 pm
before the general election, the republican party is rallying >> around trump november 5 is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country. >> senator mitch mcconnell, who hasn't spoken to trump in more than three years, offered his endorsement saying it should come as no surprise that as the nominee, he will have my support tonight after a string of democratic primary victories, president biden is preparing to make his case at the state of the union address on thursday, a primetime opportunity to tackle myriad challenges he faces to win reelection. biden easily swept away long-shot rivals like dean phillips, but a series of protests, votes made clear he faces task of uniting democrats to like in minnesota on tuesday, where uncommitted received 19% of the vote with a general election contest. finally, taking shape, history will be tested a new, as trump seeks to become the first president since grover cleveland and was voted out of office to be sent back for a second term now, the sql
3:05 pm
between biden and trump is cemented, but it will play out in a vastly different political climate. the race is filled with so many wildcards. trump's criminal cases, biden's foreign policy challenges, and of course, the fitness for office of both candidates but there is no modern-day historical guide for the eight month campaign to come. the stark contrast of which will come into sharper view in the state of the union address and response tomorrow night, wolf lots of tension going on right now. jeff zeleny, thank you very, very much. let's get some more on all of this on the fight to win over nikki haley's supporters, in particular, cnn an accurate kaitlan collins is joining us right now. kaitlan after telling haley donors they were banned from joining maga. now, the former president seems to be reaching out to them for support, but not with any olive branches or anything. if you looked at his post earlier today right after nikki haley nails that she was exiting this race, he talked about how he blamed most of her supporters. it was the term that he is were far-left radical democrats. it wasn't exactly what someone
3:06 pm
maybe who's politically savvy and looking at the numbers would necessarily saying compare that as the haley campaign is to what joe biden said in his statement where he was making this appeal to them saying yes, we disagree on the issues themselves. sometimes we agree on the principle of democracy south, it was a very different tone from the two of them. and i can tell you that's what the candidate is doing, but the campaign itself and what they're looking at on the trump side, wolf, here are the numbers and yes, nikki haley only won two of these nominating contests, but out of that, she got over half 1 million votes, close to 600,000. and some of these battleground states look at north carolina alone. she got 250,000 votes there. trump lost the margin in 2020, north carolina was only about 75,000 votes. so trump's campaign is certainly looking at these numbers that doesn't mean all of the haley voters, obviously are going to go to president biden side and vote for him come november. but the campaign itself is looking at those numbers. and i think what you can tell that by the evidence of that trump's speech last night, he did not attack nikki
3:07 pm
haley the way he has been so horribly online, and he instead focused on the issues that could appeal to her voters. >> yeah, very significant development. kaitlan stay with us house, want to bring in more of our political team and our political director david chalian is with us, walkers you've been looking very closely at those exit poll results that we got last night. walk us through a potential warning sign for trump right now, based on what you saw? >> yeah. i just want to pick up on something kaitlan is saying here though the trump campaign by clearly being aware they want to appeal to some of those haley voters. shows that they are on a dual strategy. they yes, they want to expand the electorate and the maga base, but they also understand because it's not just haley voters as some mythical thing. what she represents independent voters trump resistant republicans. they need those as part of the polled here as a game of addition, if you look in the virginia exit poll last night, we asked folks, are you going to vote republican in
3:08 pm
november regardless of the nominee? now, this is among haley's voters in virginia, 69% say no, it's not an automatic vote for the republican in north carolina, even more so, haley supporters said 79% said no, i am not going to vote republican in november, regardless of who the nominee is now there may be folks that are saying no, that are still going to vote for donald trump. in fact, i'm sure that there are, but there is a sizable enough bloc that we see in each one of these contests of the haley voters that present a challenge to the trump campaign if they are going to rebuild the kind of coalition that proved victorious for them in 27, i think we're seeing a lot of that also on the left are were seeing a lot of democrats who aren't really enthusiastic about president biden. and we're seeing many voters who are saying, whose policies have personally helped you. they say donald trump and whose policies have personally hurt you. they say joe biden. so i think the democrats are also going to have trouble getting their own democrats out. and so that the
3:09 pm
key is who has the most enthusiasm, and we're seeing many polls showing that donald trump has the enthusiasm to get voters out and joe biden is going to be struggling with that. and on top of that, biden has had the luxury of being the incumbent president and has a tremendous in this war chest. now, donald trump, with a being the presumptive nominee, he has the tools of the rnc to help with fundraising, joint fundraising agreement election integrity units, and the communication shop from the rnc. and so now we're going to see them shape up and really go full-court press against president biden. >> so i don't i think the losing strategy, if you're going to try and make the electorate enthusiastic about this rematch, they are saying they are not. and so i don't think that's the strategy to win. you have to talk about facts in this moment and talk about what it means to have a donald trump presidency. >> and then >> we had this thing called covid that sent our economy into the tank thanks. and that joe biden came and got it back on the rails, got us out of our house, got us to not go into a
3:10 pm
recession and he is trying to bring the country back together. he is trying to make sure that the numbers on inflation and jobs are improving. and so the biden campaign, this is why we have campaigns, right? we have campaigns. so you can go out and you've talked to the voters it's why the administration is doing the policy and then the campaign cells. it but if the campaign wants people to run in the streets, jubilant about this rematch. they're telling them they're not and i don't think that's what you'd need to do this election cycle. you need to tell them how you're going to continue to work to them and improve the quality of their life? >> yes, that's interesting, kaitlan, because trump has already announced that when the president delivers his state of the union address tomorrow night, he will counterprogram social media and go after president biden. specific points during the course of the president's speech. and he's also challenging president biden now to a series of debates, even though he refused to debate his republican look at opponents during the primaries. >> yeah, i don't think it's as in prize for trump to say he'll be live tweeting something. i mean, i think he pretty much
3:11 pm
done that every single day of his live even if it's not on twitter necessarily, with the debates themselves. not a surprise if you've been talking to sources in trump world, they have said all along, even when he was against the republic we can primary debate or debates or refuse to go against any of his challengers that the general would likely change that if he was the republican nominee. the one thing is he cannot stand the nonpartisan committee that puts on those presidential debates. so that's the big question here. the group that i should note has been doing this since 1976 i think part of what's driving trump what was that? he feels incredibly bullish about how he would perform against president biden in a debate. >> but >> i'll remind everyone that back in 2020 when they had a series of three debates, they only did too. we heard the exact same thing from all of our trump's sources that they felt very confident going into that debate. essentially, none of them. so that afterwards they thought that first debate went terribly for them and they thought they improved by the second one. so i think it's covid. >> it's also because he
3:12 pm
thought the real you never know when you're gonna get with donald >> but don't you? i do think though there is risk for both of these guys in a debate, i think a debate between them is going to be the whole country on edge seeing, you know, is joe biden gonna be able to perform in a way that is effective and can communicate or does his age and his fragility at times get the best of him? does donald trump go off the rails in some way that completely just blockades a whole segment of the electorate that his team would be trying to woo. i just think, well i do anticipate there probably will be a debate. i think it is one that is a high stakes, probably higher stakes than we've ever seen before for both of those cats. >> why tomorrow is so important for joe biden, the state of the union address, it is. all eyes will be on the current president and wants to know tell me what you've done and tell me what you're going to do and make me feel compelled to support you again, it is the restart of the campaign. it is.
3:13 pm
>> we now know >> after super tuesday yesterday, it is most likely that donald trump is going to be the nominee. it is the rematch that most americans don't want to have, but we are having it. and so joe biden has an opportunity to almost re-introduce himself to the country. >> well, here's the, here's the challenge he's also facing. he is going to go out there. and if he wants to talk about policies, he's going to have an uphill battle, really convincing american people that the economic numbers are positive for them. you might say the numbers are good. a lot of democrats say they are, but the american people don't feel that and perception is reality you can also he's going to talk about the border, the border crisis has gotten tremendously worse than he's been an office and he is going to have to show what is he going to do in order to secure the border. and we're seeing all of these foreign policy crises, whether we're talking about in gaza and ukraine, israel he is one had to convince the american people that the money we're donating or contributing to these areas is being well-spent and it's in furtherance of democracy, but even more aside from policy, he needs to demonstrate he has the
3:14 pm
digger in the vitality, in the energy and enthusiasm to do the job because that is one of the most important things people will be looking. >> and i think the white house is well aware of that. we've been talking to them. they understand that. obviously the state of the union is always felt substance. everyone's trying to get their, their goals that we've been talking to lawmakers all day. you were saying, i hope you mentioned this. i hope you've mentioned this. that happens every time for any state of the union, for any president. but i think what president biden the white house knows that the style over the substance is what is going to be really what stands out to voters. what we've heard from people inside biden world is that last year they believe he surpassed expectations expectations where he was responding to people like marjorie taylor greene and the republicans on protecting social security being medicare, we're interrupting him. so they feel like the stakes are actually higher because he did they believe so well, last year. and so that's what you've been hearing from his allies, is that he could be an enemy of his own making. and the performance said he had last year. yeah. and listen, it is a big moment. this is the earnest start of the general election. we've got an eight month general election. these are the two nominees he's not, going to
3:15 pm
go give a campaign rally speech, but the president is going to leave with voters tomorrow. the contrast that he plans to run on for the next eight months. and that'll be a really important piece for him. it is a general election that the american people are not really eager to participate in, but it's the one that they've got. >> let's see how tough he gets going after trump tomorrow night it's always very sensitive state of the union address is supposed to be the official address before a joint session of congress, an invitation. and it's supposed to be about policy and substance, not necessarily politics, but we shall see kaitlan. thank you very much, everybody. thank you very, very much. important note, kaitlan, we'll be back later tonight, 09:00 p.m. eastern to anchor her show. the source we'll be watching coming up. we have breaking news of the trial of the rust movie armor, a verdict just came in. we'll share it with you. when we come back. >> erin burnett outfront tonight at seven on cnn >> bye-bye, cough, nato chest congestion. hello, 12 hours of

3:20 pm
trial of hannah gutierrez reed, the armorer in the set on the set of the ill-fated alec baldwin film rust. let's bring in cnn's josh campbell and defense attorney misty marris, a josh, what did the jury decide? >> well, if this verdict came very quickly, the jury deliberating for only about two-and-a-half hours today after closing, arguments ultimately rendering a verdict just moments ago, hannah guttierez reed, who was the armor on the set of the movie when cinematographer halyna hutchins was killed, is now guilty of involuntary manslaughter. now, she was originally charged by prosecutors with a second charge of tampering with evidence. this jury deciding that she was not guilty of tampering with evidence, but again, the breaking news here, the armor has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. she faces up to 18 months in prison once she is eventually sentenced as well as a $5,000 fine. hannah guttierez reed not expressing any outward sign of emotion as this was being read in court. she was led away by
3:21 pm
santa fe county sheriff's deputies just a short time ago, remanded into the custody of the state. and this trial had gone on for about ten days. the jury hearing from 37 different witnesses neither the prosecutor nor the defense had any qualms with the fact that negligence was at play. in fact, both sides agree that there was negligence. they disagree disagree about who was to blame prosecutors saying that hannah gutierrez reed as the person who was responsible for firearm safety. they've determined that she was the single sole person who had the authority to ensure that this was a safe set she was negligent in her duties, her defense attorney, of course, she had pleaded not guilty or defense attorney indicated that it was actually the production company of this movie, as well as alec baldwin himself, who was actually to blame, but the jury, after deliberating again for only two-and-a-half hours and rendering this verdict, the armor on the set of that movie. now, guilty of voluntary manslaughter wolf, very fast verdict. indeed, misty, what do you make of this verdict? and let me repeat the rust armorer
3:22 pm
are found guilty for involuntary manslaughter, but acquitted on charges of evidence tampering yeah, this really makes sense, especially given the jury instructions. so lawyers will tell you the opening arguments really important. closing arguments, very important. jury instructions may be the most critical. so the jury instructions said that the jury could find her guilty if they found that she either a did not accidentally, loaded the real bullets into the gun instead of the dummy bullets or that she failed to adequately check those bullets, failed to adequately inspect of those bullets. and so under the circumstances not surprised me the jury come back with a guilty because clearly, adg inspected the bullets, they would not have been the gun. they would have been removed. >> now, on the tampering charge that relates to her handing a baggy of light powder to someone onset during the investigation. however, that powder was never tested. so the
3:23 pm
defense said it's impossible to prove whether or not that was drugs as the prosecutors had alleged so given all the circumstances of this case and given those jury instructions, you wove the critical factor, the bullets were not inspected prior to handing that gun over to alec baldwin and the rest of it really wasn't relevant. >> let me follow up with you, misty alec baldwin's trial is now set for july 9, what does this mean? verdict today for his case? >> so this verdict is very positive for his his case. this means that somebody has been held legally, criminally hope able for the death of halyna hutchins. he's going to say that in his particular case, it's not foreseeable. foreseeability is the critical element here. it wasn't foreseeable that the armorer, the person who is responsible for the safety, maintenance, and care of the firearm and the ammunition? it was not foreseeable that there'd be a real bullet in that gun. and
3:24 pm
will his defense team has been in the courtroom and today, during closing arguments the prosecutors made a statement during their rebuttal argument where they said, it's expected that the actor is going to go off book. it's expected that the actor might, ms handle a firearm that's all for the purposes of convicting hannah guttierez reed, but they had a fine line to tow. and i think some of those statements during closing arguments will be very, very difficult to overcome for the prosecution during the trial of alec baldwin's so very, very relevant to his case moving forward. >> very interesting indeed, misty marris, josh campbell to both of you. thank you very much coming up a key biden campaign insider joins us to weigh in on the president's goals for a state of the union address just to congress tomorrow night and how it figures into his rematch with donald trump >> very sorry to hear about your father. >> father-mother. thank you. wael. >> that's a little better

3:30 pm
and thinks about other people and a guy like donald trump who lives his life and chaos and thinks about retribution and revenge. the president tomorrow night is going to give the force state of the union address dress. hopefully donald trump, a watch if you want some good advice, he ought to kick back with a burger and watch the president give the address and he'll learn something about being presidential. i expect president biden to talk about his incredible accomplishments about bringing the country together for bought in a bipartisan way that makes a lot of sense. that's built an economy that really is second to none, but 15 million jobs lowest it's the unemployment rate gone after pharmaceutical companies to reduce the cost of health care costs that are regularly relieving the burden. he's going to talk about what the future looks like and he's going to talk about an inclusive future and a bright future, not a dark past. that never was. and i think you'll make the contrast very well. and my expectation is that he's gonna do great. he did great last year expecting big things from him tomorrow night, we will be watching tomorrow night to be sure. in the super tuesday contests yesterday, as you know, mitch, many democrats voted uncommitted to oppose
3:31 pm
president biden's handling of israel's war against hamas in minnesota, for example in 19, 90% of democratic voters bark there ballots. that way, how big of a warning sign is this for the president coming as he approaches november in the general election? >> while i'll address that. but the thing that i paid attention to more last night was how many people voted for nikki haley and not donald trump's 79% of whom said they would not consider voting for donald trump. now, nikki haley left the race base today. she ran a very courageous, raised the president, my president, our president, president biden, reached out to her because he believes that when we are better together than apart and there are a lot of things that the folks had voted for nikki haley share with joe biden, even though we may disagree on some issues we believe in saving democracy, which was pretty much what her campaign was about. and i just it's want to point out in case people have forgotten. donald trump has now had 17 cabinet secretaries that worked for him to secretaries of defense chief of staff, and now his secretary of the united nations that has warned the people about how
3:32 pm
unfit donald trump is for office. so that's what really stood out to me last night. now, we're not in on mindful of the fact that what happened in michigan and minnesota, as you know, the war between israel and gaza right now is very difficult and very complicated. hamas has just been unbelievable in their attacks on israel. i think the president has demonstrated through word and deed that he's unhappy right now about the way that israel is prosecuting the war the vice president has spoken to this issue, but what is most critical is that we have a ceasefire so that we can bring humanitarian aid into gaza and make sure that we get the hostages out. as that thing is getting resolved. we are very mindful of the pain that folks in the country are going to the president has listened, he's hurt, he's understood, and he is doing the best he can to protect the interests of the united states of america and regard. and we'll continue to do so as we go forward, what does it say to you, mitch, that the biden campaign despite about the biden campaign, that despite all of trump's
3:33 pm
liabilities that are many, including multiple criminal indictments hundreds of millions of dollars in civil penalties that biden is he's losing to trump in so many of these most recent polls that have emerged. >> while well, if i don't want to out you, but you've been around awhile as have i and you've seen these polls ebb and flow. this is really just the beginning of the race. we have eight months to go, which is as you know, in politics, a lifetime, the president has a great record okay sometimes people seem like they have amnesia about what trump's administration was like mostly him based on what you heard him say last night when he tried to cast a spell on american talk about a past that never was as though the time that he served in office was moon beam in fairy tales when it was nothing but chaos. and it was really complicated. we're going to remind the country of that. and then the president is going to remind the country of the successes that we've had. i believe in the american people, i think now that the choice is going to be as clear as it is the american people are going to choose joe biden to be their president. once again, i've
3:34 pm
covered a lot of these state of the union addresses, as you correctly pointed out, the new york times sienna poll last weekend showed key parts of president biden 2020 coalition seemingly falling apart. he's losing support with young voters, women, black voters, losing some of that support to donald trump. why do you think trump has gained support among some of these key voting blocs? >> well, first of all, i'm not sure that that's accurate, but assuming assuming that some of those things are occurring, it's not really a big surprise you, as you know, because you're an expert in political science, there are tectonic shifts going on amongst the electorates. one of the things that's also happening is that women in this country understand the trump is declared war on them by appointing three supreme court justices that have reverse roe versus wade, that has resulted in alabama outlawing in vitro fertilization or in ohio police officers being gone into a woman's house to look in a totally because i've now criminalized miscarriages. and so now you see a huge swing as should be expected, a women basically saying, why is the

3:41 pm
of the united states. and in fact, the ukrainian president wolf then later said that he could not only hear the impact of that missile, but at the e could also see the missile as it came down. that's how close it was to volodymyr zelenskyy. all this happened in odessa in the port town of odesa the greek prime minister later saying that there had been a tour of the port that volodymyr zelenskyy gave to the prime minister mr. where he underscored the importance of that port. and as they were about to leave, that's when that strike took place. the ukrainians are saying that five people were killed in that the russians have now actually come out and they've said that they targeted in the port area of odessa a warehouse with what they say were unmanned sea drones that were they're of course wolf, all of this comes only one day after the ukrainian say that they actually sank a russian warship in the black sea using such sea drones. so it is possible that this could have been in retaliation for that. in any case, this appears to have been an extremely close call and one of the things i can say for
3:42 pm
being on the ground in ukraine quite frequently, the russians actually have some missile those were the margin of error is about 500 yard. so certainly having very senior officials from two countries in that area, definitely a very dangerous and close call will very dangerous indeed, how much does this underscore the problems ukraine is facing right now? they want more air defense systems, for example, with us military aid to ukraine still being held up >> i think all that, i think that air defense is definitely a key point and some that the ukrainians have been saying they need more air defense systems, especially in places where there is critical infrastructure like that port of odessa, that's been hammered over the past couple of days, especially by the russians. there was a big attack on march 2 that killed a lot of people but the other thing of course, wolf is on the front lines. shortage of artillery that they're dealing with everyday. that's getting worse, and that's why the officials likely ukrainian president, or saying they need that us military aid badly, desperately needed to fred pleitgen reporting for us. thank you very much. spread coming up. >> there's
