that's upon us now.

to join me because wehave found that leader
in Vice President, soonto be President Joe Biden.

the most dangerous president
in the modern history of America.
- [Abigail] BillionaireMike Bloomberg ignored
early voting states,hoping to make a splash
on Super Tuesday with his ballot debut.
- I honestly think that Mike Bloomberg
is a bit maybe out ofhis depth and got excited
about running for president'cause he had the resources
to do it and certainly someexperience, but I don't think
that he's gonna beparticularly successful.
- North Carolina Democrat Michael Bender,
a former Buttigiegsupporter, tells CBN News
he plans to vote for Elizabeth Warren.
Do you think that she has apath to winning this nomination?
- Yeah, absolutely.
That's probably one ofmy biggest skepticisms
about voting for her tomorrow,and a definitely concern
of mine, but I think ifeverybody had that attitude
on Super Tuesday, why even cast a vote?

bringing in massivecrowds around the country
with people camping out fordays ahead of his rallies.

drain the swamp, drain the swamp.

and tells CBN News thisis the seventh time
she's been first in linefor one his rallies.
- I love the job he's doingand I love to listen to him
explain what he's doing
and explain his plans for the future.
- [Abigail] And she's not theonly one going to extremes
to see Trump.
- I'm working on four hours of sleep.
I was a share guard, soabout one or two o'clock
in the morning.
- These supporters feelconfident none of the Democrats
in the field are a match for Trump.
- We'll make sure thatwe continue to push Trump
'cause he's the bestpresident we have ever had.
- With more than a thirdof the total delegates
being awarded by the end oftoday, the Democratic party
will soon have a clearer picture of who
might be taking on Trump in 2020.
