7:05 am
>> it's great to be here in ft. worth. >> reporter: while nikki haley fresh off her campaign over the weekend in washington, d.c. taking aim at trump in texas. arguing since his first term he's been a drag on the party as a whole, with losses at the state and federal levels. >> at some point maybe we should say the reason that america keeps losing is because of donald trump. >> reporter: today's super tuesday contest comes on the heels of a unanimous supreme court ruling monday in mr. trump's favor, ordering his name be included on primary ballots in colorado and other states. where courts or officials had tried to bar him for allegedly engaging in insurrection on january 6th. >> you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way. >> reporter: mr. trump praising the ruling and arguing he's been politically targeted by the biden department of justice. >> they're nonsense cases and everybody sees it. >> reporter: the biden campaign responding calling mr. trump's statement, quote, unhinged, confused ramblings focused only
7:06 am
on himself. but the focus tonight will be on the republicans. trump holding a party here in florida and nikki haley heading back to south carolina, her home state with no events scheduled, adding to the growing speculation that the end of her campaign could be near. savannah. >> all right, garrett. thank you. >> let's turn to kristin welker, moderator of "meet the press" and nbc national political correspondent steve kornacki, who has memorized primary and caucus rules for all 16 states and 1 territory. it all boils down to a very hard road for nikki haley after tonight. >> yeah. two big problems for haley. let's just call up what's at stake today. in yellow, these are all the states voting today. the problem for haley is she hasn't won states yet. she won the district of columbia, but that's very different. you look at these states and you see two things. number one, you see demographics. a lot of these states are conservative, southern states. they don't have electorates that have been friendly to her so far. the other big problem for her is the rules. we have seen before where she has 43% in new hampshire, 40% in
7:07 am
south carolina. she's been able to collect some delegates. take a look at the biggest state on the map today, california. the rules, closed primary, no independents, no democrats. those have been haley's bread and butter in this primary. also winner take all. if trump gets a simple primary, in california, all 169 zel gats, haley getting 40% does nothing for her. there are all sorts of states on the map that are like this. unless she's winning states, and winning them outright, she's going to fall way behind. >> so let's talk about that in many ways many people are expecting the general election to begin in earnest as a practical matter tonight. and how is it shaping up? >> great question, savannah. one of the big questions we're watching for is the 40% or so that nikki haley has been getting. can trump get that? the answer is no. his campaign acknowledges about 25% off the table. but what happens to that other 15%? independent moderate voters? can he win those in a general election? or does that represent a real
7:08 am
vulnerability for him? anecdotally i was at a haley event last week talking to her supporters, what if she doesn't win the nomination, will you vote for trump? the answer is yes. those are the voters he needs to win swing states like michigan, north carolina. >> so it is really a slice of this haley vote that either trump or biden has to get if they want to get over that 50% and win the election. this isn't exactly a rematch of 2020. the candidates are the same, the dynamics are not, steve. >> the polling, savannah, is looking very different than it did four years ago. if you remember four years ago, in a major poll, joe biden never once trailed donald trump. just in the past several days, four major national polls all put donald trump ahead of joe biden. between 2 to 4 points. our own nbc poll put trump ahead by five. a few weeks ago. the biggest issue for trump is this. "the new york times" poll asked voters if you voted for trump in 2020, are you still with it?
7:09 am
97% said yes. if you voted for biden in 2020, are you still with him? look at the slippage. only 85% of biden's 2020 coalition is with him. so there's the slippage. that's why donald trump now never led biden in a single poll now consistently leads bay couple points. >> he has to bring back the faithful there in the next nine months or so. all right. we shall see how it all shakes out tonight. kristen and steve, it will be a late one. nbc news will have complete coverage of the super tuesday results. we start at 5:00 p.m. eastern on nbc news now. lester and i will see you tonight, 10:00 eastern right here on nbc. of course, you can find live updates throughout the day on nbcnews.com. hoda? >> savannah, thank you. turning now to the breaking news near detroit overnight. a massive fire, multiple explosions at an industrial site, sending debris flying as far as a mile away. nbc's adrienne broaddus has made her way to that scene. what's the latest there? >> reporter: hoda, good morning. some terrifying moments. and we learned a 19-year-old was killed.
7:10 am
this after the chief of the fire department says containers of all sizes like this were flying through the air. now, investigators are trying to determine what started the explosion. overnight, massive explosions lighting up the sky in michigan. causing a massive factory fire at an industrial site about 25 miles outside detroit. >> we have multiple explosions. we have a lot of debris in the air. >> reporter: authorities say the blaze erupted at a plant, which distributes baked products and other items in michigan's clinton township. debris projected into the air, traveling as far as a mile away as canisters became projectiles, residents were asked to avoid the area, stay inside and close windows. >> i want any standing around, video taping in the cars or anywhere near this cleared out immediately. >> reporter: neighbors describe hearing a loud bang which sounded like fireworks shaking the ground.
7:11 am
social media posts showing images of huge plumes of fire and smoke billowing from the site. clinton township police releasing a statement saying quote, upon arrival officers observed exploding materials flying in all directions from the building. police also writing on facebook, please, please, please stay inside. building where that explosion started. it's been reduced to rubble. the chief says the air quality is okay. >> adrienne broaddus for us there in clinton township, michigan. thank you. jury selection begins today at the manslaughter trial of the father of a convicted school shooter in michigan. and, of course, it comes less than a month after the man's wife, the student's mother, was found guilty of the same
7:12 am
charges. nbc's stephanie gosk is here with that story. steph, good morning. >> hey, savannah, good morning. this will be yet another closely watched trial as jurors weigh how much they should hold a father responsible for a crime his son committed. this morning, a month after that guilty verdict gripped the country -- >> we find the defendant guilty of involuntary manslaughter. >> reporter: james crumbley starts trial with jury selection for his role in a mass school shooting carried out by his on ethan. his wife general than was the first parent in the u.s. held criminaledly responsible for a school shooting carried out by their child. both charged with four counts, one count for each student killed. prosecutors say ethan used a semiautomatic handgun allegedly bought by his dad as a gift days before the shooting. they also argued jennifer was negligent and ignored the warnings. crumbley's parents were called to the high school the morning of the shooting over concerns
7:13 am
about a drawing he made of a gun and a message, the thoughts won't stop. help me. >> she did not give him the help that he wanted. >> reporter: but jennifer crumbley's defense team said her husband james was responsible for the storage and safety of the gun. >> i just didn't feel comfortable being in charge of that. it was more his thing. so i let him handle that. i didn't feel comfortable putting the lock thing on it. >> reporter: experts say james' attorneys likely watched jennifer's trial closely to adjust their strategy. the jury foreperson telling savannah on "today," that jennifer's testimony and evidence was pivotal for jurors. >> jennifer didn't separate her son from the gun enough to save those lives that day. >> reporter: craig schilling's son, justin, was among the four killed. >> he's always on my heart. your hopes have to stay high.
7:14 am
in the end, you want that accountability. you want the -- you want the right verdict. >> that jury selection begins this morning in the same courtroom with the same judge as his wife's trial. james crumbley pleaded not guilty to the charges, guys. >> we'll be watching. stephanie, thank you. all right. 7:13. more to get to with craig here. weather is a huge story. >> for so much of the country. hoda, is a van narks good morning. good morning to you as well. snow once again falling in california's sierra nevada mountains adding to a post of problems from the multi-day blizzard that has crippled the region. we will get to dylan's forecast in just a moment. but first, nbc's steve patterson once again in front of a huge amount of snow. this time from the buried town of truckee. steve, good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, this current system no more near expected to be as bad as what we saw over the weekend, but there are 10 foot piles of snow here in people's communities. so any amount of snow on top of that, no matter how small, could be a big headache.
7:15 am
this morning, the race is on to dig out vehicles and homes from a weekend blizzard before snow from a new storm starts piling up again. >> we had grass coming up in our yard on thursday. and now our windows are all buried in our house so -- >> reporter: this is the aftermath of an intense multi-day storm that unleased an assault on the mountain west, dumping 5 to 10 feet of snow across the region. >> it was full-on. it was definitely some pretty intense periods of white-out conditions. >> reporter: the major thorough fair interstate 80 finally reopening after disrupting traffic and commerce for five days. >> it's been a real mess. >> if you live in it, then you're used to it. if you're not, i would just say don't come up here if you don't have to. >> reporter: because of heavy snow and winds that reached 190 miles per hour at the highest peaks, officials and locals still urging caution on the roads. >> we have just been taking it slow, you know, going 25, 30 miles an hour. >> reporter: the storm
