Going into Super Tuesday,
the Democratic field had been narrowed down
to four main candidates,
which is a long way from the original 6,000.
And as the dust began to settle,
it became clear there were two winners and two losers.
Elizabeth Warren, one of the night's losers.
You see, she failed to pick up a single state.
And to add insult to injury,
in her home state of Massachusetts,
she came in third.
Yeah. Which is pretty rough.
It's like if you came home
to find your parents had replaced you with another child.
Just be like, "Sorry, honey,
we'd like Joe Biden to be our daughter now."
But she wasn't the only one with a disappointing evening.
Yeah. Another candidate who hit a low point was Mike Bloomberg,
former New York mayor
and best person to sit behind at a concert.
Because after spending the GDP of a small country
on his campaign,
his quest for the nomination ended in failure.
We come in with this Fox News Alert.
Super Tuesday made for a super shake-up.
Democrat Mike Bloomberg today dropped out of the race
after his dismal showing last night.
REPORTER: Yesterday was a disaster for Bloomberg.
He spent more than $500 million
and won only a few dozen delegates.
Last night, campaigning in Florida,
Bloomberg tried to sound upbeat.
No matter how many delegates we win tonight,
we have done something no one else thought was possible.
"That's right. We spent half a billion dollars
to absolutely eat shit."
(cheering and applause)
"They said it couldn't be done, but we did it.
We did it."
I'm not gonna lie.
I-I still can't believe Mike Bloomberg spent $500 million
to not be president.
No, like, I'm also not gonna be the president,
but I spent nothing. I...
No, so, in a way, I feel like I saved $500 million, you know?
(applause)
It really is. That's how I feel.
-(cheering) -And the funny thing is,
the funny thing is, right before he dropped out,
Bloomberg bought more TV airtime
that he doesn't need anymore.
But I was thinking, like, since he's already paid for it,
he should use it. Right?
He should just come on TV and share his random thoughts.
"Hi, I'm Mike Bloomberg.
"Have you ever noticed you've never seen birds having sex?
"Kind of weird, huh?
Anyway, see you guys in the next ad break."
(cheering and applause)
He should just do that the whole time.
Now, the reason Bloomberg is dropping out now,
after just one bad night, is that-- you must remember--
he entered the race to be the moderate alternative
to Bernie Sanders.
But, last night,
the voters were very clear
that they already know who they want
their moderate candidate to be.
REPORTER: The night belonged to Joe Biden.
-They don't call it Super Tuesday for nothing! - (cheering)
The former vice president with a massive comeback
on the biggest night of the primary so far.
REPORTER 2: A fired-up Joe Biden celebrating his historic night,
racking up a string of commanding victories,
including a clean sweep of states in the South
and a stunning win in delegate-rich Texas.
The press and the pundits had declared the campaign dead!
-Tell that to the folks in Virginia! -(cheering)
-North Carolina! -(cheering)
-Alabama! -(cheering)
-Tennessee! -(cheering)
-Oklahoma! -(cheering)
-Arkansas! -(cheering)
-Minnesota! -(cheering)
Hey...
That's-that's a Joe Biden we haven't seen in a while.
Look at him, huh? Smiling, full of energy,
naming states that actually exist.
No, 'cause let's be honest, let's be honest.
We were all waiting for him to give a shout-out
to "Pennsyl-chusetts"!
I'm serious.
I don't think I've seen Biden this happy
since that time Obama taught him how to ride a bike.
This has been a while. I mean...
And, of course, of course,
no Joe Biden speech would be complete
without a few moments where the Wi-Fi dropped out.
It's a good night!
-And it seems to be getting even better! -(cheering)
-By the way, this is my little sister Valerie, -No...
and I'm Jill's husband. Oh, no. They--
No, you switched on me. This is my wife.
This is my sister. They switched on me.
(cheering)
No, Joe.
Really?
Joe Biden called his sister his wife?
That's an awkward mistake.
And if you are gonna talk about your sister wife,
you should have done it sooner,
because then you could have won Utah.
(cheering and applause)
Yeah.
Oh, and, by the way...
"Hi, I'm Mike Bloomberg.
"I was thinking, how does a train turn around?
Anyway, see you guys next ad break."
Now,
the sister wife thing was just a silly gaffe
that didn't derail the night.
What did cause a bit of concern
was when two protestors stormed the stage.
REPORTER: During Biden's speech, protestors rushing the stage.
You see it there, coming within feet
of the former vice president
and Dr. Jill Biden, his wife.
One woman was swiftly removed
by the former vice president's body man.
Then, moments later, see it again.
A second protestor storming onto the stage.
REPORTER 2: Symone Sanders, his senior advisor,
-she just comes out of nowhere, -Look, she takes her out.
flies onstage and rips one of the protestors off.
REPORTER 3: Dr. Jill Biden protecting her husband
by shoving off a protestor that was storming the stage.
Her response? "I'm a Philly girl."
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
That... Jill Biden. See that?
Stepped in and blocked that protester
like a white lady Jackie Chan. Bam!
-(laughter) -I mean, I knew she was a doctor.
I just didn't know her PhD was in ass-whipping.
That was amazing.
And it wasn't just Biden's wife.
Yeah, his senior campaign advisor, Symone Sanders--
did you see that?
She handled that protester like a professional bodyguard.
Hell, Biden's got more women protecting him than T'Challa.
-Like, he's just killing it out here. -(laughter, applause)
No wonder he's winning the black vote.
So overall, overall, it was a good night for Biden.
But don't forget-- this contest is far from over.
Because this race is all about winning delegates, right?
Not just states, but delegates.
And even with his good night last night,
Biden is still basically neck and neck with Bernie
in the delegate count, all right?
And up until this point,
these two have been super friendly on the campaign trail.
Laughing, hugging at the debates.
But something tells me those days might be over.
WOMAN: This morning, it's now a two-man race.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders
already sharpening his attacks against Biden.
One of us in this race led the opposition
to the war in Iraq.
You're looking at him.
(applause and cheering)
Another candidate voted for the war in Iraq.
(booing, clamoring)
One of us has spent his entire life
fighting against cuts in Social Security,
and wanting to expand Social Security.
(applause and cheering)
Another candidate has been on the floor of the Senate
calling for cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
-and veterans programs. -(booing, clamoring)
"That's right. One of us is a bitch-ass.
The other person is me."
(laughter, applause and cheering)
"You know who I'm talking about.
Spread the word."
Yeah, people, you can see.
The gloves are officially off.
-The dentures are in. -(laughter)
And things... things are about to get messy between these two.
Not just because there's Vicks VapoRub everywhere.
No, because this is the homestretch
to find out who will be the Democratic nominee.
And Bernie, if you're gonna attack Joe Biden,
I wish you the best of luck.
But remember not to get too close,
because then, you'll have to deal with Jill.
