SOMEHOW, NORMAN JEWISON NEVER WON BEST DIRECTOR AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS. HE DID, HOWEVER, FINALLY GET HONORED THERE IN 1999 WITH THE PRESTIGIOUS IRVING G. THALBERG AWARD FOR A LIFETIME OF MAKING

PEOPLE LAUGH, THINK, AND DREAM. >> MY PARTING THOUGHT TO ALL THOSE YOUNG FILMMAKERS IS THIS THIS? JUST FIND SOME GOOD STORIES. >> BY THE WAY, NORM HAS A GREAT AUTOBIOGRAPHY, AND HERE’S A PICTURE OF MY CAT HANGING OUT WITH MY COPY. IT IS CALLED THIS TERRIBLE BUSINESS HAS BEEN GOOD

TO ME. AND AS YOU SEE, PEPPER GAVE IT FIVE OF FIVE >> THANKS, DANNY. HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE. >> IT’S TUESDAY, JANUARY 23RD, AND IT’S NOW OR NEVER. >> WE START HERE. >> THAT’S THE SOUND OF A TWO-PERSON RACE. WITH POLLS ABOUT TO OPEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, NIKKI HALEY LOOKS

FOR A MIRACLE. WIN LOSE, DRAW, WHATEVER. TONIGHT, IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET HARDER FROM HERE. SO WHAT DOES SHE ACTUALLY NEED TO MOUNT A SERIOUS CHALLENGE? AND WHAT DOES DONALD TRUMP NEED TO ICE THIS? THE FAA TELLS AIRLINES TO TAKE A AT ANOTHER AIRCRAFT. WHAT ELSE IS LURKING OUT THERE

THAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT? HAS THIS BLOWN ANOTHER HOLE IN BOEING’S IMAGE AND IS UNIQUE AS THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY HAS BEEN I FEEL PERSONALLY LITTLE DISENFRANCHIZED BY THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY. IT’S DEMOCRAT THAT COULD DERAIL THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARIES EXISTENCE. >> FROM ABC NEWS THIS STORY HERE I’M BRAD MIELKE.

>> GOOD MORNING FROM MANCHESTER, WHERE POLLS ARE ABOUT TO OPEN IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY. AND EVERY PRIMARY DAY IS A BIG DAY. BUT THIS COULD BE THE. JUST THINK ABOUT WHERE WE STAND RIGHT NOW. AT THIS POINT YOU ONLY GOT TWO VIABLE REPUBLICANS LEFT IN THE NOMINATING CONTEST FOR.

SHE WOULDN’T BE GOOD FOR THIS YEAR. I CAN TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR, NIKKI HALEY. WHEN YOU HEAR TRUMP SPEAK, WHAT’S HE TALKING ABOUT? GRIEVANCES, THE PAST. TRUMP EMPHATICALLY WON IOWA. HE’S WON THE ENDORSEMENTS OF MOST OF THE OPPONENTS. HE’S VANQUISHED.

AND NOW HE’S LEADING IN THE POLLS MOST EVERYWHERE ELSE. SO TO FRAME THIS AS A BIG STEP COULD BE UNDERSELLING IT TONIGHT, IN MANY WAYS IS THE BALLGAME, EVEN THOUGH IT’S CRAZY EARLY. THIS COULD BE THE NIGHT NIKKI HALEY TURNS THIS INTO A RACE OR IT COULD BECOME DONALD TRUMP’S

BALLOON DROP THE NIGHT HE EFFECTIVELY CLINCHES THE NOMINATION. AND WE MENTIONED THIS A BIT YESTERDAY. >> THE VIBES HERE ARE MUCH DIFFERENT THAN PAST CYCLES. I’VE COVERED NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARIES IN 2016. I WAS EMBEDDED HERE FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR. >> I WENT TO MULTIPLE EVENTS A DAY.

THE FINAL WEEK IS USUALLY BONKERS. YARD SIGNS PILING UP ON TOP OF OTHER CAMPAIGN EVENTS. NOT EVEN JUST THE CANDIDATES. YOU GET CAMPAIGN EVENTS WITH SURROGATES DRAWING BIG CROWDS ACROSS THE STATE. THAT IS NOT THE VIBE THIS YEAR. LAWNS ARE EMPTIER. EVENTS ARE MORE SPARSELY ATTENDED. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE

YOU NOTICE HERE IS THAT ALL THE ADS ON YOUTUBE AND SOCIAL MEDIA ARE SUDDENLY FOR POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS AND WHILE HALEY SUPPORTERS HAVE BEEN GROWING MORE CHIPPER, THEY WERE STILL A GOLF OF ENTHUSIASM BETWEEN HER VOTERS AND TRUMP’S . >> SO WHAT TIME DID YOU GET HERE? 11:11 A.M..

WHAT TIME DO WE HAVE THE RNC? >> 730. THIS IS BIANCA WEBER. SHE WAS FIRST IN LINE TO SEE TRUMP SPEAK THIS WEEKEND. AND WHILE TRUMP WILL OFTEN BRING IN TOURISTS FROM ACROSS STATE LINES, WE’RE JUST EXCITED TO SEE A SHOW. >> SHE’S FROM HERE. SHE’S IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. RIGHT.

AND SHE’S VOTING FOR MYSELF. IT’S THE ECONOMY. IT’S MY CHILDREN. IT’S EDUCATION, PARENTAL RIGHTS IN A FAMOUSLY DELIBERATIVE STATE WHERE VOTERS USED TO TALK ABOUT NEEDING TO MEET THE CANDIDATE IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THEM. >> THESE VOTERS MADE UP THEIR MINDS LONG AGO. WAS THERE ANY ANY CONSIDERATION

OF THESE OTHER REPUBLICAN? >>, NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO. WHY’S THAT? BECAUSE I TRUST TRUMP’S POLICIES AND HE ACTUALLY PUT AMERICA FIRST LAST TIME, AND I KNOW HE’LL DO IT AGAIN. >> WE’RE PAST THE DAYS OF TRUMP SAYING HE COULD THEORETICALLY SHOOT SOMEONE ON FIFTH AVENUE AND NOT LOSE ANY VOTES.

HE’S NOW BEEN CHARGED IN REAL LIFE WITH 91 FELONY COUNTS IN FOUR DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS. >> NOT ONLY DID THAT NOT GIVE THESE VOTERS PAUSE, THEY SAID THEY FELT MORE OF A NEED TO COME OUT AND SEND A MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO TRUMP TO THEM. >> THESE RALLIES ARE A TWO WAY

SHOW OF SUPPORT. IF HE DOESN’T WIN THIS PRIMARY ,THEY CAN ACTUALLY MESS IT UP THAT BAD. BUT IN GENERAL, THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STILL I’LL WRITE THEM IN. ALL RIGHT. I MEAN, IF HE’S IN JAIL. >> HOWEVER, ELECTIONS ARE NOT ABOUT VIBES, RIGHT? THEY’RE ABOUT VOTES. SO THIS MORNING, ON A DAY

THAT COULD POTENTIALLY SHAPE AMERICAN POLITICS FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND BEYOND, I WANT TO TURN TO GALEN DRUKE FOR SOME COLD, HARD NUMBERS. HE’S WITH OUR PARTNERS AT FIVETHIRTYEIGHT, WHERE HE HOSTS THE FIVETHIRTYEIGHT PODCAST. >> GALEN, LET’S START WITH THE BIG QUESTION. WHAT DOES NIKKI HALEY NEED TO DO TODAY?

LIKE WHAT IS A GOOD RESULT FOR HER? >> WHAT DOES NIKKI HALEY NEED TO DO TODAY, YOU KNOW, TO WIN THE NOMINATION TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT HERSELF? >> I IF SHE WANTS TO WIN THE NOMINATION, WHAT SHE NEEDS TO DO IS BE DONALD TRUMP AND SHE WANTS TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT HERSELF.

I WOULD SAY, ACCORDING TO THE POLLING AVERAGES RIGHT NOW, DONALD TRUMP HAS ABOUT 50% SUPPORT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. SHE HAS ABOUT 36% SUPPORT. THAT’S A 14 POINT GAP. SO SHE WANTS TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT HERSELF, I WOULD SAY. AND THE NIGHT SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF TEN PERCENTAGE POINTS.

BUT REALLY WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS HOW WELL SHE’S BEEN HER CAMPAIGN TO SAY THAT SHE’S THE HEIR APPARENT IN 2028? OR DOES SHE END UP LEAVING THE RACE? YOU KNOW, LOOKING LIKE SHE SPENT HER DONORS MONEY? WELL, LIKE IN ALL REALITY HERE, BRAD, I DON’T THINK WE’RE

TALKING ABOUT A PATH TO THE NOMINATION FOR NIKKI HALEY, BECAUSE LET’S BE CLEAR. TRUMP LEADS HALEY BY 14 POINTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND THAT IS THE MOST COMPETITIVE STATE IN THE COUNTRY. NIKKI HALEY DOES BETTER NEW HAMPSHIRE THAN SHE DOES ANYWHERE ELSE. >> THAT’S THE SOUND OF A TWO-PERSON RACE.

>> WIN, LOSE DRAW, WHATEVER. >> TONIGHT. IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET HARDER FROM HERE IF YOU’RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO RACK UP DELEGATES FOR NIKKI HALEY. >> AND JUST SO I’M CLEAR, GAYLE, LIKE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT POLLING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, LIKE STATE POLLS ARE NOTORIOUSLY A LITTLE BIT MORE FICKLE THAT THAN

LARGE NATIONAL POLLS WITH HUGE SAMPLE SIZES. >> I MEAN, ARE THERE SURPRISES TO BE HAD IN THE STATE LIKE NEW HAMPSHIRE OR ALL OF THEM KIND OF TELLING YOU THE SAME THING? >> THERE ARE ALWAYS SURPRISES TO BE HAD. BRAD, BUT I THINK THERE ARE LIMITATIONS ON WHAT KINDS

OF SURPRISES WE CAN EXPECT. SO PRIMARY POLLING HAS A LARGER AVERAGE ERROR THAN GENERAL ELECTION POLLING BECAUSE THE VOTERS ARE MORE LIABLE TO SWITCH FROM ONE CANDIDATE TO ANOTHER QUICKLY, BECAUSE GENERALLY EVERYONE WHO’S RUNNING IS EITHER A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. SO THERE IS NOT AS STEEP OF A BARRIER TO SWITCH YOUR SUPPORT

FROM ONE CANDIDATE TO ANOTHER. >> AND SO THINGS CAN HAPPEN QUICKLY. >> HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, WE’VE BEEN TRACKING THIS RACE FOR A WHILE. THERE’S A LOT OF POLLS OUT IN THE FIELD, AND THAT’S ANOTHER REASON THAT POLLING ERROR CAN BE RELATIVELY HIGH, AS IF WE DON’T HAVE A LOT

OF POLLS IN A PRIMARY, THEN WE DON’T GET A ROBUST AVERAGE. >> WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT, THINGS ALL AROUND WERE A LOT BETTER. IT’LL DO GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY. THE JUDGMENT THAT I’D LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE. AND FIRST OF ALL, I MEAN, NIKKI HALEY, SHE’S A STAR. >> BUT THERE’S ACTUALLY BEEN

LOT OF POLLS CONDUCTED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE COALITIONS OF TRUMP VOTERS AND NIKKI HALEY VOTERS ARE RELATIVELY WELL CLARIFIED, BUT THEY DON’T HAVE A TON OF OVERLAP. PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT NIKKI HALEY GENERALLY DON’T LIKE DONALD TRUMP AND PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP AT THIS POINT GENERALLY DON’T REALLY PREFER NIKKI HALEY.

SO IT’S LESS THAT WE’LL SEE A LOT OF SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH. I MEAN, THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED RECENTLY THAT COULD POTENTIALLY SHAKE UP THE POLLS ARE DROPOUTS. THE MOST RECENT DROP OUT BEING RON DESANTIS. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE POLLING, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST NATIONALLY,

IT LOOKS LIKE HIS VOTERS WOULD GO 2 TO 1 FOR DONALD TRUMP. SO HIM DROPPING OUT OF THE RACE MIGHT MAKE IT EVEN LESS LIKELY THAT NIKKI HALEY WINS NEW HAMPSHIRE. SO, YES, WE SHOULD ALWAYS EXPECT SURPRISES. POLLS ARE NOT FINAL TALLIES. THEY ARE A SNAPSHOT IN TIME.

THEY’RE THE BEST TOOL THAT WE FOR UNDERSTANDING A HORSE RACE. THEY ARE NOT INFALLIBLE. ALL THAT BEING SAID, YOU KNOW, SURPRISES CAN ONLY GET YOU SO FAR. >> AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW HALEY’S SUPPORTERS NOT SO HIGH ON DONALD TRUMP AND DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTERS VERY LIKE NOT

ONBOARD WITH NIKKI HALEY. >> WHY IS THAT? LIKE YOU’VE BEEN TALKING TO VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND ELSEWHERE. >> RIGHT. HOW HAVE THEY DESCRIBED THEIR THOUGHT PROCESS TO YOU? YEAH, IT’S TRULY A DIFFERENT COALITION. SO NIKKI HALEY’S VOTERS ARE MORE MODERATE. THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE COLLEGE EDUCATED.

MANY OF THEM ARE INDEPENDENTS OR UNAFFILIATED VOTERS WHO CAST A BALLOT IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ON TUESDAY BUT DO NOT IDENTIFY NECESSARILY AS REPUBLICANS. >> THE STATE AND THE PEOPLE HAVE LISTENED TO NIKKI AND HER VOICE AND HER MESSAGE IS SHE’S THE UNITER. >> IF YOU LOOK, NIKKI HALEY,

TENDS TO DO BETTER WITH OLDER VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHEREAS DONALD TRUMP’S VOTERS ARE, YOU KNOW, QUITE CONSERVATIVE AND REALLY ARE JUST MORE LIKELY TO BE MADE UP OF RELIABLE REPUBLICAN VOTERS. >> AND I’M 100% BEHIND PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> I WAS IN 2016 AND 2020 WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE, ONE THING

REALLY CLEARLY EMERGES FOR ME AT LEAST. YOU KNOW, I MET WITH A PANEL OF VOTERS WHILE I WAS IN MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR YOU IN THIS ELECTION? AND WITHOUT A B, THE TRUMP SUPPORTER SAYS IMMIGRATION WITHOUT A BEAT. THE DESANTIS SUPPORTER SAYS

IMMIGRATION, IMMIGRATION, IMMIGRATION, NOT IMMIGRATION. THE HALEY VOTER SAYS, WELL, NOT IMMIGRATION. I’M MORE INTERESTED IN LEADERSHIP QUALITIES. >> AND SO WHAT YOU HEAR IS OFTENTIMES THE HALEY VOTERS ARE LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRUMP, AND THEY MAY END UP LIKING HALEY AND BE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT HER OR NOT.

GENERALLY, WHAT WE SEE AS HER VOTERS ARE LESS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT HER SPECIFICALLY, BUT WHAT THEY’RE REALLY LOOKING FOR IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRUMP. >> MY GOAL WAS TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE. THE RESULT WAS REALLY GETTING TO LIKE NIKKI HALEY AND RESPECT HER AND LONGER TO BE PARTNER.

>> WHEREAS, YOU KNOW, THE TRUMP AND DESANTIS VOTERS ARE REALLY READ INTO THE POLICY PRIORITIES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> IT’S NOT JUST AFFECTING THE SOUTHERN BORDER. IT’S ALSO AFFECTING, YOU KNOW, NEW HAMPSHIRE AND ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTING SOMEONE WHO THEY THINK WILL CLOSE THE BORDER AND TAKE A HARD LINE ON IMMIGRATION.

YOU KNOW, LIKE THE POSITIONS THAT TRUMP RAN ON BACK IN 2016 AND AGAIN IN 2020. >> AND, CALEB, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SUPPORT FOR TRUMP IN THE STATE, I MEAN, PEOPLE HAVE SAID, YOU KNOW, NEW HAMPSHIRE IS SO MODERATE COMPARED WITH THE OTHER STATES, THAT REPUBLICAN BASE IS JUST NOT HERE FOR HIM.

>> I BUMPED INTO YOU AT A TRUMP RALLY ON FRIDAY NIGHT. >> THERE WERE PEOPLE LINED UP THERE AT 11 A M I MEAN, HOW ARE PEOPLE DESCRIBING THEIR ENTHUSIASM LEVEL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TO YOU? >> YEAH, WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE ACTUALLY THE FIRST STATE THAT DONALD

TRUMP WON BACK IN 2016. AND SO THERE IS CLEARLY A BASE OF SUPPORT FOR HIM THERE. >> AND I THINK WHAT HAPPENED IN IOWA IN TERMS OF HIS WINNING AND SOME OTHER THINGS LIKE THE INDICTMENTS HAVE IN SOME WAYS HELPED HIM COALESCE THE REPUBLICAN BASE. OF COURSE, DESANTIS HAS HELPED AS WELL.

BUT ONE THING IN PARTICULAR, WE WERE OUT TALKING TO VOTERS ABOUT THEIR IMPRESSIONS OF THE MAINE SECRETARY OF STATE’S DECISION TO REMOVE TRUMP FROM THE PRIMARY BALLOT THERE. >> OF COURSE, MAINE IS JUST NEXT DOOR TO THE NORTH. I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ELECT WHOEVER

THEY WANT TO AND THAT’S SIMPLE. IT’S — IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE BY THE PEOPLE. FOR THE PEOPLE, RIGHT. EVEN PEOPLE WHO DON’T NECESSARILY TOLD ME THEMSELVES DON’T LIKE EVERYTHING DONALD TRUMP DOES THAT MOVE, YOU KNOW, IN COLORADO AND IN MAINE HAS SORT OF GALVANIZED REPUBLICANS TO FEEL LIKE THEIR GUY IS BEING

PERSECUTED AND WANT TO SUPPORT HIM, EVEN MORE. >> AND SO HE HAS HIS NATURAL BASE. BUT HE’S ALSO THIS DYNAMIC OF THE INDICTMENTS AND THEN KICKING HIM OFF THE PRIMARY BALLOT, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, WHETHER YOU THINK IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO UNDER THE LAW OR NOT.

I THINK IT HAS SERVED AS HELPING TO GALVANIZE REPUBLICANS AROUND HIM. >> IT’S INTERESTING. I WAS SPEAKING TO A REPUBLICAN OPERATIVE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WHO’S NO FAN OF DONALD TRUMP, LIKE HE DOES NOT WANT TRUMP TO WIN. AND HE SAID, BRAD, I GET IT. NO SPORTSCASTER EVER WANTS TO PREDICT A BLOWOUT.

EVERYONE WANTS TO PREDICT A CLOSE GAME. REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS ALIKE, WANT THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY TO STAY RELEVANT. >> THEY WANT TO RACE. AND YET IT DIDN’T LOOK TO HIM LIKE THERE WAS ANY CHANCE SOMETHING ELSE WOULD HAPPEN. >> SO A HEALTHY DOSE OF REALISM HERE AS WE BEGIN THIS NIGHT

WITH ALL THESE EXPECTATIONS. GALEN DRUKE FROM FIVETHIRTYEIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK. MOST INCIDENTS ON AIRPLANES ARE ISOLATED, RIGHT? THE U.S. FAMOUSLY HAS ONE OF THE SAFEST AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES ON EARTH. AND YET EVEN THE ISOLATED INCIDENTS CAN HAVE A BROAD EFFECT, SAY, VIGILANT, AND HAVE HIS HANDS. >> AND WE LITERALLY THOUGHT

THAT WE WERE GOING TO DIE WHEN A DOOR PLUG POPPED OFF AN ALASKA AIRLINES FLIGHT MIDAIR. THE IDEA THAT OTHER BOEING 737 MAX NINES COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS RESULTED IN MORE THAN A HUNDRED AIRCRAFT BEING GROUNDED FOR INSPECTION. WELL, RECENTLY, A DIFFERENT PLANE, ANOTHER BOEING, IN FACT, EXPERIENCED A MALFUNCTION

MID-FLIGHT WHEN IT GOT BACK DOWN TO THE TARMAC. ENGINEERS DISCOVERED A HOLE NEAR ITS ENGINE. AND THEN THIS WEEK, THE FAA HAS RECOMMENDED YET ANOTHER TYPE OF BOEING AIRCRAFT BE LOOKED AT BY AIR CARRIERS. LET’S GO TO ABC’S AVIATION CONTRIBUTOR JOHN NANCE. FIRST OF ALL, CAN YOU JUST BACK UP AND EXPLAIN

WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT CARGO FLIGHT WITH THE WHOLE WHAT HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? >> IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THIS 747 ENGINE NUMBER TWO APPARENTLY WAS EATING ITSELF OUT. IN OTHER WORDS, IT STARTED THROWING BLADES, EITHER COMPRESSOR BLADES, TURBINE BLADES. I’M NOT SURE AT THIS POINT. ONE OF THOSE WAS FLYING OUT

AND PROBABLY CREATED THAT WHOLE MAYDAY, MAYDAY, JUST 095 HEAVY. AND THIS FIRE CAUSED THAT IS ACTUALLY A PLANE. >> THAT’S WHAT WE THINK RIGHT NOW. BUT IT’S GOT TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF INVESTIGATION TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT. AND BY THE WAY, WE’VE GOT THE BEST INVESTIGATIVE AGENCY

ON THE PLANET FOR THAT. THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD, OR AT THEIR BEST, WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING AT PIECES OF METAL AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. SO THEY’LL GET THAT ONE SOLVED. BUT THE QUESTION IS THE SAME ONE THAT WE’VE BEEN ASKING AFTER THE ALASKA AIRLINES SITUATION WAS WHAT ELSE

IS LURKING OUT THERE THAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT? AND WE WERE PREVIOUSLY FEELING VERY ASSURED ABOUT AND THAT WE NOW HAVE TO GO BACK AND ASK QUESTIONS. >> AND THAT IS A PROFOUND QUESTION IN ITSELF. I SEE. AND SO THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT JUST HAPPENED WITH THE

FAA IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS, THAT HAS MORE TO DO WITH THE IDEA THAT LIKE A DOOR OR A DOOR PLUG COULD POP OFF THE SAME WAY IT HAPPENED ON THAT ALASKA FLIGHT. >> RIGHT. SO WHAT I MEAN, WHAT IS FAA ADVISING HERE? >> THIS IS A NINE HUNDRED VERSION OF THE 737.

IT’S NOT A MAX. IT’S A SIMILAR TYPE OF AIRPLANE. AND OF COURSE, THE THE DIMENSIONS ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. BUT THE QUESTION BEING ASK IS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT WAS THE MAX THAT OTHERWISE. AND THAT IS IS THERE ANYTHING THAT DURING THE PRODUCTION WE HAVE EMBEDDED IN THE AIRPLANE

THAT WAS NOT DONE RIGHT THAT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT PREVIOUSLY AND THAT’S WHY THEY’VE GOT TO GO BACK AND LOOK. NOW AT AN ADDITIONAL MODEL AND WHY THIS ONE AND NOT EVERY SINGLE BOEING THAT’S BEEN RELEASED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. >> WELL, THE REALITY IS THAT

MOST OF THE BONES THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED, THE 730 SECONDS, DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF A PLUG IN PLACE OF THE DOOR. SO THERE’S NO POTENTIAL FOR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE MAX IS GOING TO DO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE WITH ALASKA UNITED IN ALASKA, OR PROBABLY THE BIGGEST USERS,

THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND THE THE 900 NOW IS A MORE WIDESPREAD. AND I JUST WANT TO TAKE SOME TIME, BUT IT’S MAINLY A MATTER OF GOING IN AND TAKING THE MODELS DOWN AND TAKING A LOOK AT THE INSTALLATION OF THOSE PLUGS. THERE’S 15 TO 20% OF ALASKA AIRLINES FLIGHTS THAT HAVE BEEN

CANCELED. UNITED HAS HAD A PRETTY GOOD IMPACT ON THEIR SCHEDULE AS WELL. AND YOU COUPLE THAT WITH WEATHER DELAYS AND YES, PEOPLE DO SEE THE RESULT AS FAR AS THE LONG TERM, THESE BIRDS WILL BE BACK IN THE AIR FAIRLY RAPIDLY AND THEY WILL BE FULLY RELIABLE. >> I SEE.

SO THESE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE PLUG INS INSTEAD OF THE DOOR JUST FROM A EITHER A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE OR EVEN JUST A PR PERSPECTIVE. HOW BAD IS THIS FOR BOEING? THE FACT THAT THIS SEEMS LIKE THESE REVIEWS ARE GETTING WIDER? >> BOEING IS NOT GOING TO BE

MAMMOTH IMPACTED ON THIS. THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN THE DOGHOUSE FOR A WHILE. THE THEY LET IT HAPPEN. THEY’RE THE AUTHORITY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT HAPPENED. IT’S HOW THEY RESPOND THAT’S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT IN THE LONG TERM WE’RE GOING TO APPROACH THIS. >> NUMBER ONE, ACKNOWLEDGING OUR MISTAKE.

>> WE’RE GOING TO APPROACH IT WITH 100 PERCENT IN COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. >> PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS THIS COMPANY, AND BASICALLY WE SEE WHAT’S HAPPENED TO IT. AND THERE ARE THEORIES THAT BASICALLY MOVING FROM AN ENGINEERING COMPANY TO MORE OF A GOOD MONEY MAKER. >> SOMETHING WAS LEFT IN

THE BACKGROUND. AND WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE INVESTIGATION RIGHT NOW INTO THE THE MAX NINE AND THIS ALASKA AIRLINES SITUATION, YOU FIND SOME THINGS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE GOTTEN RID OF OVER 900 INSPECTORS ON THE LINE DURING THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS IN FAVOR OF HAVING

PEOPLE INSPECT THEIR OWN WORK. WELL, INSPECTING YOUR OWN WORK IS NOT A BAD IDEA. >> AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE HAVE A SYSTEM CALLED THE D.R. SYSTEM THAT HAS WORKED ACTUALLY BEAUTIFULLY OVER THE YEARS. BUT THEY EXPANDED THIS TO INCLUDE PEOPLE ON THE LINE. AND THIS IS WHERE WE’RE GETTING

THEM TO HUMAN FACTORS TROUBLE. AND THAT’S WHAT I THINK IS GOING TO BE THE RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS ALASKA AIRLINES SITUATION. >> AND BOEING, FOR ITS PART, SAYS, QUOTE, WE FULLY SUPPORT, FAA AND OUR CUSTOMERS IN THIS ACTION, END QUOTE. ALSO, THE IDEA THAT, YOU KNOW,

BOEING WAS ELIMINATING SOME OF THE SAFETY INSPECTIONS AT THE TIME, THEY SAID THAT THOSE ISSUES WOULD JUST BE CAUGHT EARLIER IN THE PROCESS. SO THEY DIDN’T EXPECT ANY BAD CONSEQUENCES OF THAT. NOW THEY SAY THEY’RE EXPANDING CHECKS AND THAT THEY’RE ALSO BRINGING IN AIRLINES FOR ADDITIONAL OVERSIGHT. >> SO, JOHN NANCE, ARE AVIATION

CONTRIBUTOR WITH THE INSIGHT HERE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALWAYS MY PLEASURE. >> AND ONE LAST THING. OVERNIGHT, THE FIRST VOTES WERE CAST IN THE 2024 PRIMARY PROCESS. NOW, CAUCUS VOTES, I’M TALKING ABOUT OFFICIAL BALLOTS HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILLED OUT AND TALLIED.

>> IT MEANS WHEN YOU WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING, THE OTHER VOTERS IN THIS STATE, THEY’LL HAVE A LITTLE INDICATION OF THE TREND. >> SOME TOWNS ARE SO TINY HERE THAT FOR YEARS THEY’D HELD THEIR VOTES AT MIDNIGHT. THE IDEA IS THESE PRECINCTS ARE SO SMALL THEY CAN GET EVERY

VOTER ACCOUNTED FOR WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, CLOSE THE POLLS ,ANNOUNCE THEIR VOTES TO THE WORLD. >> YOU CAN GET THREE GEORGE W BUSH, 21 VOTES, THREE BALLOTS CAST FOR BARACK OBAMA. THAT’S THE LEGENDARY DIXVILLE NOTCH. >> THEY DID THEIR TRADITION AGAIN OVERNIGHT. BUT IT’S NOT THE FIRST COMMUNITY TO START THIS TRADITION.

WELCOME TO HART’S LOCATION, POPULATION 63. OH, HELLO, MR. WACKY TAYLOR. HOW ARE YOU? >> HI, THERE. OF NEW HAMPSHIRE’S 234 OFFICIAL TOWNS, THIS PLACE HERE IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS IS ITS SMALLEST. >> YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT A PHONE THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE, THEY WERE VOTING. WELL, ACTUALLY, WE ARE VOTING

HERE ON WEDNESDAY WHILE DIXVILLE NOTCH, FURTHER NORTH, IS AN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY. HART’S LOCATION HAS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT. IT’S GOT A SCHOOL BOARD. THERE ARE TWO BUSINESSES HERE, A SMALL CAMPGROUND WITH A GENERAL STORE AND A BED AND BREAKFAST KNOWN AS THE NOTCHLAND INN. >> WE HAVE BOARD GAMES AND FIREPLACE AND PORTRAIT

OF THE MAN WHO BUILT THE NOTCHLAND INN BACK IN THE 1860S. >> AND HERE MARK DINDORF WORKS HERE AS THE INNKEEPER. YOU KNOW, I LIVE ABOUT A HALF A MILE AWAY FROM HERE, ACTUALLY, IN AN A LOCATION THAT YOU CAN’T DRIVE TO. I LIVE LITERALLY OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS.

>> HE EXPLAINS THAT BACK IN THE FORTIES, HART’S LOCATION ORIGINATED THIS TRADITION OF MIDNIGHT VOTING TO ACCOMMODATE RAILROAD WORKERS WHO DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO VOTE DURING THE DAY. AT ONE POINT, THE PRESS ATTENTION GOT TOO INTENSE. >> THE FAMOUS QUOTE IS YOU COULDN’T EVEN GO TO THE OUTHOUSE WITHOUT A REPORTER

LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER. AND THEY SCRAPPED IT, ONLY TO REVIVE IT AGAIN IN THE NINETIES. WITHOUT THE OUTHOUSE. WITHOUT THE OUTHOUSE? YEAH. WE HAVE. YEAH. WE DON’T HAVE INDOOR PLUMBING AT THIS POINT. WELL TODAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A GENERATION, RESIDENTS OF HART’S LOCATION WILL CAST THEIR PRIMARY VOTES DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.

THE MIDNIGHT VOTES BEEN CANCELED, AND WHILE ALL THE EXCITEMENT IN THE STATE IS ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE REASONS FOR THIS CHANGE ACTUALLY REST TO DEMOCRATS. MEMBERS OF THE DNC’S RULES AND BYLAWS COMMITTEE TOOK SEVERAL SHOTS AT THE GRANITE STATE, EMPLOYING NEW HAMPSHIRE’S TWO WHITE, TWO WEALTHY AND NOT

SUFFICIENTLY LOYAL TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. >> OKAY, SO I WANT YOU TO STICK WITH ME HERE. LAST YEAR, DEMOCRATS DECIDED TO CHANGE THE ORDER OF STATES THAT NOMINATE THEIR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. FOR YEARS, IT’S BEEN IOWA, THE NEW HAMPSHIRE AND SOUTH CAROLINA. WELL, THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE NOW SAYS THEY WANT

SOUTH CAROLINA FIRST BECAUSE LIFE COULD BE BETTER. >> THAT IS THE HEAD OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY RAYMOND BUCKLEY. WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY SAID WE’D ACTUALLY LIKE SOUTH CAROLINA TO BE FIRST PLACE? >> I DON’T KNOW A BETTER WORD FOR FURY, BUT STRONGER THAN FURIOUS.

>> USUALLY BUCKLEY’S IN LOCK STEP WITH THE HIGHER UPS IN D.C., BUT NOT HERE. >> THEY’RE NOT TALKING TO US. I REALLY WE HAVEN’T HAD ANY COMMUNICATION. >> HE SAYS HE GETS WHAT NATIONAL FOLKS WERE THINKING. >> SOUTH CAROLINA IS MORE DIVERSE, PERHAPS MORE INDICATIVE OF WHAT DEMOCRATS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WOULD WANT.

>> BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THERE’S A STATE LAW THAT WAS PASSED IN 1975 THAT DIRECTS THE SECRETARY OF STATE BY LAW TO HOLD THE STATE PRIMARY SEVEN DAYS BEFORE ANY OTHER, LIKE EVENT. >> THAT’S RIGHT. NEW HAMPSHIRE IS SO PROTECTIVE OF ITS PRIMARY. IT WROTE A STATE LAW SAYING

BASICALLY, IF YOU GUYS TRY TO CUT AHEAD OF US, WE’LL GO EVEN EARLIER. >> WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE THAT WE WERE FINE. AND IT CAME AS A SHOCK AND SURPRISE TO US. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE’S ANSWER TO THAT WAS, WELL, THAT’S FINE IF YOU GUYS WANT TO HAVE A VOTE

IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, BUT WE DON’T HAVE TO COUNT IT. YOUR STATE WON’T GET ANY DELEGATES. PRESIDENT BIDEN WON’T EVEN FILE THE PAPERWORK TO RUN THERE. >> TO WHICH BUCKLEY SAID, FINE . >> JOE BIDEN’S BEEN COMING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE SINCE THE 1970S. SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK HE’S MET

EVERY MEMBER OF MY EXTENDED FAMILY MULTIPLE TIMES. YEAH, WE WERE OBVIOUSLY VERY DISAPPOINTED. MEANWHILE, WHILE BIDEN DIDN’T HAVE A MAINSTREAM DEMOCRATIC, SOME LESSER KNOWN FIGURES DID DECIDE TO RUN AGAINST HIM. CONGRESSMAN DEAN PHILLIPS, WHO’S CONVINCED BIDEN IS TOO OLD TO LEAD THE PARTY ANYMORE. >> THE COUNTRY HAS OPINED,

AND I THINK IT IS A DEMOCRATIC DELUSION TO CORONATE A CANDIDATE WHO IS SURE TO LOSE. >> AND MARIANNE WILLIAMSON, WHO’S NEVER HELD ELECTED OFFICE. >> I WANT A DEPARTMENT OF PEACE. I WANT TO HELP MAKE PEACE, WHICH PRESENTED A PROBLEM TO NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRATS.

IF ANY OF THESE FOLKS WON, THAT COULD MAKE THIS PRIMARY LOOK LESS RELEVANT THAN EVER, WHICH HAS LED TO A MASSIVE CAMPAIGN TO GET DEMOCRATS TO WRITE IN JOE BIDEN’S NAME. WHETHER HE’S FILED OR NOT, THAT’S ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE STATEMENTS WE CAN MAKE ABOUT STRONGLY WE FEEL ABOUT HIS CANDIDACY.

I’M ALL IN FOR JOE BIDEN BECAUSE WHAT HE’S DONE AND WHAT HE OFFERS AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY NEED TO SEE THAT. >> PROMINENT DEMOCRATS HAVE HELD A RALLY SUPPORTING THIS IDEA. THE PRESIDENT’S TEAM IS PROHIBITED FROM BEING INVOLVED. PARTY OFFICIALS ARE STAYING OF IT.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE DOING ON PRIMARY DAY? SINCE MY ELECTION AS CHAIR AND 27, I’VE ALWAYS WRITTEN AND JIMMY CARTER, I WILL HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAY I VOTED FOR JIMMY CARTER MORE TIMES THAN ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING ON EARTH. >> AND BY NOW YOU’RE PROBABLY WONDERING, WHAT DOES THIS

HAVE TO DO WITH VOTING MIDNIGHT AND SMALL TOWNS? >> WELL, I’VE BEEN HART’S LOCATION ORGANIZERS HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE. >> MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES WILL BE WRITE IN VOTES. THOSE TAKE LONGER TO TALLY AND TO VALIDATE EVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW DOZEN

WRITE IN VOTES MEANT THEY COULD BE UP FOR A WHILE CHECKING HANDWRITING OUT FORMS. GOD FORBID SOMEONE GETS THE TALLY WRONG WITH. A MIDNIGHT VOTE. THERE’S USUALLY A LOT OF PRESS SCRUTINY ABOUT WHAT WE’RE DOING AND ANXIOUSNESS TO GET THE RESULT OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. >> AND, YOU KNOW, WE JUST

THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO MEET THAT EXPECTATION GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND THIS YEAR’S ELECTION. >> NEIGHBORS EXPRESSED HESITATION ABOUT STAYING UP UNTIL TWO IN THE MORNING FOR THIS. >> SO THIS MORNING, THEY ARE SETTING UP A DAYTIME BOAT IN THE NOTCHLAND INN DINING ROOM.

>> AND SO THERE WOULD BE ONE TABLE WHICH WOULD BE SET UP FOR THE CHECKLIST. SO BASICALLY, WHEN A VOTER ARRIVES TO VOTE, THEY PRESENT THEIR NAME IS. >> AND YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ID, BUT IN SUCH A SMALL TOWN WE’RE ALL KNOWN TO WELL KNOWN TO ONE ANOTHER. SO SOMETIMES THE CHECKING

OF THE IDEAS IS WAIVED BECAUSE OF THAT TO THAT EXISTING KNOWLEDGE. BUT MARK CLEARLY CARES ABOUT THIS. IN FACT, WHEN YOU THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS, THE OWNER OF THE INN IS THE TOWN MODERATOR. MARK IS THE CHAIR OF THE SELECT. YOU GOT SUPERVISORS OF THE

VOTER ROLLS, ALMOST ONE IN FIVE ADULTS IN HART’S LOCATION ARE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT. VOTER TURNOUT IS GENERALLY 100%. THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE MOST TYPICALLY ENGAGED PLACES IN THE COUNTRY. SO I ASKED WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO KNOW THAT THE NATIONAL PARTY DOESN’T WANT YOU TO BE FIRST

IN THE NATION ANYMORE? >> I FEEL PERSONALLY LITTLE DISENFRANCHIZED BY THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THEIR DECISION TO NOT HONOR THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY VOTES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND WHY I UNDERSTAND THE, YOU KNOW, THE DIVERSITY CHALLENGE THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS, YOU KNOW, LARGELY BEING A WHITE

CAUCASIAN POPULACE FOR THE MOST PART, WITHOUT A LOT OF THE DIVERSITY THAT’S REPRESENTATIVE OF THE REST OF THE NATION. ANYTHING THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS THAT OTHER STATES DON’T IS EXPERIENCE WITH THIS RETAIL POLITICS PROCESS. A LOT OF GRANITE STATERS WILL SAY DESERVE TO BE FIRST BECAUSE WE TAKE IT REALLY

SERIOUSLY AND WHICH I’VE ALWAYS KIND OF BRISTLED WHICH AMERICAN STATES DON’T TAKE VOTING SERIOUSLY. BUT THIS POINT THAT MARK IS MAKING PACKS MORE OF A PUNCH TO WIN SOUTH CAROLINA. YOU CAN’T REALLY VISIT EVERY TOWN. YOU CAN’T SHAKE EVERY. YOU’D BE BETTER SERVED SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON TV ADS.

WELL, IN A STATE AS SMALL AS NEW HAMPSHIRE, EVERY VOTE TRULY COUNTS TO THE POINT WHERE. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES HAVE COME HERE INTO THE NORTH COUNTRY TO MAKE THEIR CASE TO A FEW DOZEN VOTERS AT AN END. WE HAVE POSTED SOME OF THEM HERE AT NOTCHLAND INN. PLUS, THE CAUCUS HERE.

TOMPKINS WAS HERE, BILL BRADLEY, BACK IN 2000. THIS YEAR, IT’S IN PLACES LIKE THIS THAT UNDERDOGS CAN GAIN MOMENTUM. >> WERE UPSETS CAN TRULY HAPPEN. AND RESIDENTS ARE DESPERATELY HOPING THIS YEAR IS A HICCUP AND NOT A LAST GASP. I’M A DEMOCRATIC REGISTERED VOTER AND I PLAN TO VOTE AND I

SURE HOPE MY VOTE COUNTS. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK SO, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS IS MAKING A BIG DEAL ABOUT PROTECTING DEMOCRACY . DO YOU THINK YOU’RE RIGHT? INVITED, BY THE WAY, CAN I ASK ? >> I EXPECT THAT I WILL. YEAH. YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT.

WORSLEY, ABC NEWS LIVE. >> HI, I’M DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY GO HEAD TO HEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR THE NATION’S FIRST PRIMARY OF THE 2024 ELECTION. HALEY’S NOW THE ONLY CANDIDATE STANDING BETWEEN TRUMP AND A THIRD STRAIGHT NOMINATION.

THEY’RE MAKING THEIR FINAL PUSH ON THIS PRIMARY DAY. THE EMERGENCY IN SAN DIEGO. DOZENS WERE RESCUED AFTER THE CITY GOT MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN 3 HOURS. MEANWHILE, AND ICE HIT THE HEARTLAND, SENDING THIS FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. NOW 14 STATES ARE ON ALERT.

KANSAS, TWO, MASSACHUSETTS, WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT AND THE NOMINEES ARE. >> THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER. IT IS THE BEST. WHO WILL MAKE HISTORY ON HOLLYWOOD’S GOLDEN NIGHT. WE’LL BRING YOU THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS LIVE AND GET REACTIONS AND PREDICTIONS FROM . INDUSTRY INSIDERS.

>> WE BEGIN WITH THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT’S A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY. HALEY ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE. ABC NEWS SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHAEL SCOTT STARTS US OFF FROM BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

>> THIS MORNING, VOTERS HEADING TO THE POLLS FOR THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY, WHICH COULD HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN THE BATTLE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. >> EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO CAST THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE OF ENTIRE LIFE. THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT VOTE.

IT’S NOW DOWN TO A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY, THE FORMER PRESIDENT LOOKING TO CLOSE OUT THE PRIMARY QUICKLY WITH A DECISIVE VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. WE STARTED OFF WITH 13 AND NOW WE’RE DOWN TO TWO PEOPLE. AND I THINK ONE PERSON WILL BE GONE PROBABLY TOMORROW.

>> FRESH OFF TRUMP’S LANDSLIDE WIN IN IOWA, HIS FORMER RIVALS LINING UP BEHIND ONE BY ONE. >> WE NEED DONALD TRUMP. AMERICA NEEDS DONALD TRUMP. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, VOTE TWICE . IF YOU WANT FOUR MORE YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP, LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM.

>> HALEY HAS CAMPAIGNED HERE FAR MORE THAN TRUMP HOLDING 81 EVENTS. THE FORMER PRESIDENT, JUST 17. BUT SHE’S STILL TRAILING HIM BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN THE FINAL HOURS BLITZING THROUGH THE STATE, LOOKING TO PULL OFF A MAJOR UPSET. >> THESE PLACES, WE LOVE IT SO MUCH, ALTHOUGH WE’VE GOT TO DON’T WORK.

DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE REST OF IT. WE’RE GOING ON THE SOUTH SIDE. HALEY SHE’S THE LAST HOPE OF STOPPING A BIDEN TRUMP REMATCH. DO YOU WANT MORE OF THE SAME OR DO YOU WANT TO GO FORWARD HOPING TO WIN OVER INDEPENDENT VOTERS LIKE DEBORAH BERUBE IN CONCORD? IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE NIKKI

. WHY NIKKI? BECAUSE I THINK IT’S TIME FOR A BIG CHANGE. THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR RAMPING UP HER ATTACKS ,TELLING VOTERS TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN ARE JUST TOO OLD FOR THE JOB. >> ARE WE REALLY GOING TO SAY THAT WE’RE OKAY WITH HAVING OUR OPTIONS BE TO 80 YEAR OLDS

AT ONE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TELLING HIS SUPPORTERS HALEY WON’T STAND A CHANCE IN NOVEMBER. >> SO IF YOU WANT A LOSING CANDIDATE WHO PUTS AMERICA LAST VOTE FOR NIKKI HALEY. BUT IF YOU WANT A PRESIDENT WHO PUTS AMERICA FIRST EVERY SINGLE TIME, YOU’RE GOING TO VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP.

AND YOU HAVE TO GET OUT AND SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT, THANK YOU. AND ABC’S ZOHREEN SHAH JOINS ME NOW FROM A POLLING LOCATION IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. SO WHAT ARE VOTERS THERE TELLING YOU? ARE YOU ABOUT WHO THEY LIKE IN THIS RACE? YOU KNOW, DANA, I’VE SPOKEN

TO SO MANY OF THEM. AND WHAT I THINK IS SIGNIFICANT IS NOT EVERYONE AFTER TWO MAIN PEOPLE THAT IT’S BOIL DOWN TO, RIGHT. I MEAN, WE THINK THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE FOLKS LIKE TO PLAY POLITICAL STRATEGIST. BUT I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT WE SPOKE TO ARE REALLY VOTING FROM THE HEART.

WE SPOKE TO SIX OF THEM THE OTHER DAY. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY. >> I THINK THAT DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO WIN ON TUESDAY. I DON’T WANT HIM TO WIN. BUT I THINK IT’S WISHFUL THINKING THAT NOT. BUT THAT’S THE ONE THING I THINK THAT EVERYONE AGREES

ON. OKAY, GET THIS. OF THOSE SIX PEOPLE, ONLY ONE OF THEM INTENDED TO VOTE FOR TRUMP. BUT OF COURSE, THAT’S JUST A SMALL SAMPLE. AND THOSE ARE ALL INDEPENDENT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE MORE BROADLY IN THE STATE, EVERY SINGLE THAT WE’RE SEEING SHOWS THAT DONALD TRUMP WILL WIN TONIGHT AND BY

LARGE MARGINS, HE’S ABOUT 50%, WITH NIKKI HALEY TRAILING BEHIND BY DOUBLE DIGITS. HALEY HAS ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH NEW HAMPSHIRE MIDNIGHT PRIMARY. NOW THAT’S ONLY SIX VOTERS. BUT THEY DID UNANIMOUSLY VOTE FOR HALEY. DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING? HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING. RIGHT? IT’S FUN.

IT’S SYMBOLIC. IT’S THE FIRST VOTE. IT DOESN’T ACTUALLY MEAN ANYTHING. I MEAN, LOOK, IN 2020, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WON, THEN MICHAEL BLOOMBERG GOT THREE VOTES. PETE BUTTIGIEG, SHE GOT ONE. AND THEN YOU HAD BERNIE SANDERS GOT THE OTHER. SO THAT I THINK IS TELLING IN ITSELF. NOT ONE FOR JOE BIDEN,

WHO WAS THE ONE WHO ULTIMATELY WENT ON TO BECOME PRESIDENT. SO IT’S A FUNNY THING. I DON’T THINK IT REALLY MEANS THAT MUCH. ALL RIGHT. WE WON’T READ INTO THOSE TEA LEAVES. ZIRIN WHAT ARE TRUMP AND HALEY’S MESSAGES GOING INTO THIS FINAL PUSH? YOU KNOW, SHE IS REALLY TELLING

PEOPLE, DO WE WANT THIS RACE TO BOIL DOWN TO TWO PEOPLE, 2 TO 8-YEAR-OLD, ONE ALMOST 80-YEAR-OLD? RIGHT. SHE IS SAYING THAT THEY ARE EQUALLY BAD AND SHE SAYS THAT SHE ABSOLUTELY WILL GO TO SOUTH CAROLINA OR RACHEL SCOTT QUEST OR THE OTHER DAY. AND SHE SAID EVEN IF

SHE’S TRAILING BEHIND BY DOUBLE DIGITS, ESSENTIALLY SHE IS GOING TO GO ON. SHE’S STRESSING SHE ALREADY WON IN SOUTH CAROLINA TWO TIMES WHEN SHE BECAME GOVERNOR. AND THEN YOU HAVE TRUMP’S SURROGATES, ON THE OTHER HAND, AND YOU SAW A LOT OF THEM LAST NIGHT COME OUT. RIGHT. THEY ARE ALL THROWING

THEIR SUPPORT BEHIND DONALD TRUMP AND SUSPENDING THEIR OWN PRESIDENTIAL BIDS AND THEY ARE TELLING PEOPLE THAT THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO END THE RACE RIGHT. THIS IN THE PRIMARY RACE CAN BE OVER TONIGHT. AND IT WOULD REALLY THE SHORTEST PRIMARY OF MY LIFETIME. BUT WE’LL SEE. BUT WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS

TONIGHT, DIANE. ALL RIGHT. SO WE’RE IN SHOT IN HAMPSHIRE. THANKS, ERIN. AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF, THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. >> MEANWHILE, AMERICAN AND BRITISH FORCES HAVE LAUNCHED A NEW ROUND OF STRIKES AGAINST MULTIPLE HOUTHI ACROSS YEMEN.

THESE AIR STRIKES COME AFTER THE IRAN BACKED GROUP ATTACKED AN AMERICAN AIR BASE IN IRAQ. IT’S ALSO THE LATEST RESPONSE TO REPEATED ATTACKS ON SHIPS IN THE RED SEA. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG HAS THE LATEST. >> SELINA. >> HEY, GOOD MORNING, DIANE. THE U.S., U.K., ITS ALLIES

HAVE LAUNCHED ANOTHER MAJOR ATTACK AGAINST THE HOUTHIS IN YEMEN. THEIR GOAL WAS TO STOP THE MILITANT GROUP THAT’S BACKED BY IRAN FROM CONTINUING ITS ATTACKS IN THE RED SEA. SO FAR, MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF U.S. ATTACKS, INCLUDING A MASSIVE JOINT AIR STRIKE EARLIER THIS MONTH, HAVE FAILED TO STOP THE HOUTHI ATTACKS.

>> THIS TIME, OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEIR STRIKES HIT AN UNDERGROUND HOUTHI STORAGE FACILITY, AS WELL AS DRONE AND MISSILE SITES. AND U.S. OFFICIALS INSIST TO ME THAT THEIR STRIKES THAT THE STRATEGY IS WORKING. IT’S MAKING IT HARDER FOR THE HOUTHIS TO LAUNCH NEW ATTACKS. BUT THE HOUTHIS SAY THEY ARE BACKING DOWN.

THEY THAT THEIR ACTIONS ARE IN PROTEST OF ISRAEL’S MILITARY CAMPAIGN IN GAZA. IT’S LED TO COSTLY DISRUPTIONS. AND ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT TRADING ROUTES. AND IT’S ALSO CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE’S NO CLEAR END IN SIGHT TO THESE BACK AND FORTH STRIKES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL

TO SPIRAL INTO A WIDER WAR. >> DIANE. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG, THANK YOU. >> MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE U.S., TEACHERS AND FACULTY HAVE CALLED OFF A STRIKE AT THE LARGEST PUBLIC UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY. STAFF AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY REACHED A TENTATIVE DEAL LATE LAST NIGHT THAT THE

UNION SAYS INCLUDES A PAY RAISE AND BETTER BENEFITS. ABC’S DERRICK DENNIS HAS THOSE DETAILS. THEY HAVE A DEAL NEARLY 30,000 PROFESSORS, LIBRARIANS AND OTHER WORKERS AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SET TO WALK OFF THE JOB WHILE DEMANDING MORE PAY AND BENEFITS, ANNOUNCED A TENTATIVE DEAL WITH CAL STATE, THE LARGEST PUBLIC

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY. THE UNION OVERNIGHT SAYING, IN CASE ANYONE FORGOT WORK, THE UNION HAD DEMANDED A 12% RAISE. THE SCHOOL SAYING THAT WOULD COST MORE THAN $300 MILLION PER YEAR ACROSS THE SCHOOL’S 23 CAMPUSES. >> I HAVE SERVED OVER 7000 STUDENTS WHO ARE NOW SIGNS DOCTORS, ENGINEERS AND NURSES.

YET MY FAMILY DOES NOT KEEP UP WITH THE COST OF, LIVING AND INFLATION. >> TERMS OF THE TENTATIVE DEAL INCLUDE A 5% PAY HIKE FOR ALL FACULTY RAISING THE SALARY FLOOR FOR THE LOWEST PAID WORKERS AND INCREASING PARENTAL LEAVE TO TEN WEEKS. >> ACROSS THE COUNTRY, TEACHERS IN NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS,

ONE OF THE BIGGEST DISTRICTS IN THE STATE, ARE ON STRIKE. DESPITE THE THREAT OF FINES EACH DAY, THEY’RE OFF THE JOB. >> WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SETTLE A CONTRACT THAT ALLOWS US TO GET THE KIDS OF THE STUDENTS HAVE WHAT THEY NEED FROM AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING STANDPOINT, AND ALSO GIVE THE

EDUCATORS AT NEWTON THE VALUE AND THAT THEY DESERVE FOR THE WORK WE DO. >> THE PAST YEAR HAS SEEN LABOR ERUPT FROM THE WRITERS IN HOLLYWOOD TO AUTOWORKERS IN DETROIT. JUST YESTERDAY, THE HEAD OF THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS RAISED CONCERN ABOUT LONG TERM PENSION PAYMENTS, SAYING IF THE CAR

COMPANIES CAN’T AFFORD THEM, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD STEP IN AND COVER THE COSTS. >> DEREK DENNIS, THANK YOU. AND BACK AT CAL STATE UNION, MEMBERS WILL VOTE IN THE WEEKS ON WHETHER TO RATIFY THE DEAL ANNOUNCED OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE, SAN DIEGO IS UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY AFTER

GETTING MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN JUST 3 HOURS. DOZENS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RESCUED BY JET SKIS AND RAFTS. ICE AND BITTER COLD ARE ALSO HITTING PARTS OF THE HEARTLAND. 14 STATES ARE ON ALERT FOR ICE AND SNOW. WATCH THIS FIRETRUCK JUST SPIN RIGHT OUT OF CONTROL.

CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE HAS THE LATEST. >> WICKED WINTER STORMS FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO MISSOURI. IN SAN DIEGO, AT LEAST TWO DOZEN WATER RESCUES AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN FELL IN JUST 3 HOURS. CARS STRANDED IN THE DELUGE. THIS MAN WANTS TO ESCAPE OUT HIS WINDOW.

PARTS OF I-5 UNDERWATER. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SWALLOWED BY THEIR RAINIEST DAY IN NEARLY 100 YEARS. >> THEY’RE TAKING FAMILIES OUT OF THE FLOOD HOUSE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED RIGHT NOW. EMERGENCY CREWS USING JET SKIS AND RAFTS TO REACH THOSE TRAPPED. >> A DOG STUCK ON THE ROOF

OF THIS HOME IN MISSION BEACH. >> THIS BUSINESS OWNER MAKING HOMEMADE BARRICADE TO TRY TO KEEP THE WATER OUT. >> THIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL TO. THE POINT WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE’RE NOT GIVING CUSTOMERS TOO MUCH WATER COMING IN AND KIND OF CAUGHT, YOU KNOW, PART OF OUR INVENTORY IN THESE ITEMS

BLOCKING OUR ELECTRICITY TO GET FROM THE OZARKS TO CENTRAL ILLINOIS. FREEZING RAIN GLAZING THE ROADS WITH ICE CARS FLIPPED IN OKLAHOMA AND IMPERIAL MISSOURI. THIS FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. >> THANKFULLY, NOBODY WAS INJURED. AND ON LAKE ERIE, 20 PEOPLE RESCUED AFTER BEING STRANDED ON AN ICE FLOE.

THE COAST GUARD RESCUING SOME VIA HELICOPTER. >> CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE, THANK YOU. AND TRIBUTES ARE POURING IN THIS MORNING FOR OSCAR NOMINATED DIRECTOR NORMAN JEWISON. A FAMILY SPOKESPERSON SAYS THE FILMMAKER BEST KNOWN FOR IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF AND MOONSTRUCK DIED OVER WEEKEND AT AGE 97.

ABC’S DANNY NEW TAKES A LOOK AT HIS LEGENDARY. >> YOU LOVE THEM, LORETTA? NO GOOD. THE WORLD HAS LOST THE VISIONARY BEHIND SOME OF ITS MOST ICONIC MOVIE MOMENTS. >> SNAP OUT OF IT. LIKE THE SLAP THAT HELPED CHER EARN HER ONLY OSCAR FOR HER PERFORMANCE IN MOONSTRUCK

AND THE SMACK THAT SIDNEY POITIER REPORTEDLY DEMANDED TO RETURN. >> BEST PICTURE WINNER AND THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, AN ACTION. NORMAN JEWISON, THE MAN WHO DIRECTED BOTH OF THESE BELOVED CLASSICS, SO MANY MORE PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY AT 97 YEARS OLD AFTER GROWING UP IN TORONTO AND GETTING

STARTED ON CANADIAN TELEVISION, JEWISON MADE A NAME FOR HERE IN THE STATES WHEN HE DIRECTED JUDY GARLAND’S BIG COMEBACK SPECIAL IN 1962. >> WHICH WAY TO A HORRIBLE PLACE? OVER THE NEXT PLUS YEARS, JEWISON BUILT A REPUTATION AS A FILMMAKER, NOT AFRAID TO, TACKLE SENSITIVE SUBJECTS LIKE

THE COLD WAR IN THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING. THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING. >> WHAT DID THEY CALL YOU UP THERE? THEY CALL ME MR. THAT. HIS FILMS ALSO FREQUENTLY EXPLORED THE PREJUDICE THAT BLACK AMERICANS FACE IN OUR COUNTRY. >> IF I WERE A RICH MAN AND, OF COURSE, HIS 1971 MUSICAL

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, WHICH JEWISON CLAIMED HE ONLY GOT OFFERED BECAUSE EXECUTIVES ASSUMED WITH A NAME LIKE HE HAD TO BE JEWISH. SHOCKINGLY, HE WASN’T. STILL TOOK THE GIG THOUGH. SOMEHOW NORMAN JEWISON NEVER WON BEST DIRECTOR AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS. HE DID, HOWEVER, FINALLY GET HONORED THERE IN 1999

WITH THE PRESTIGIOUS IRVING THALBERG AWARD FOR LIFETIME OF MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH, THINK AND DREAM. MY THOUGHT TO ALL THOSE YOUNG FILMMAKERS IS THIS JUST FIND SOME GOOD STORIES DANNY KNEW.

WHO’S UP FOR THE MOST COVETED PRIZE IN HOLLYWOOD. IT’S OSCARS NOMINATION DAY AND WHAT YEAR IT HAS BEEN IN THE MOVIES. SO MANY OF THEM OUT THERE, BUT ONLY TEN WILL BE UP FOR BEST PICTURE. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS YEAR’S AWARDS BY THE NUMBERS. THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING.

SO THIS IS THE 96 ACADEMY AWARD. THERE ARE 23 DIFFERENT CATEGORIES UP FOR GRABS AND AT LEAST 321 MOVIES IN CONTENTION FOR GOLD AND. THERE’S JUST 47 DAYS TO GO UNTIL THE ACADEMY CEREMONY. AND KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS THE ONLY MAJOR SHOW THIS SEASON THAT DID NOT HAVE TO

GET PUSHED BACK BECAUSE OF THE WRITERS AND ACTORS STRIKES. THE AWARDS ARE SET FOR SUNDAY MARCH 10TH, RIGHT THERE AT THE HISTORIC DOLBY THEATER. AND JUST TODAY, JUST WITH THE NOMINATIONS, IT COULD BE A HISTORIC MORNING AT THE SAMUEL GOLDWYN THEATER IN BEVERLY HILLS. LET’S GO THERE RIGHT NOW AND CHECK IN WITH

ABC’S WILL REEVE. HE IS DOWN THERE FOR US BRIGHT EARLY THIS MORNING, LOOKING FABULOUS IN THAT TUXEDO. WELL, THANKS FOR BEING HERE, I KNOW THAT THE EXCITEMENT IS BOILING. SET THE SCENE FOR US. >> YEAH. GOOD MORNING, DANA. I DID DECIDE TO THROW ON THE TUX. IT IS THE OSCARS, AFTER ALL.

AND THIS IS WHERE IT ALL KICKS OFF THE NOMINATIONS. THE ROOM AT THE SAMUEL GOLDWYN THEATER IS FILLING UP. THE BUZZ IS PALPABLE. WE’RE ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE FIRST BATCH OF NOMINATIONS BEING RELEASED EVERYONE IS VERY EXCITED. THERE’S A LOT OF PREDICTIONS THAT I THINK WILL COME TRUE

AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF SURPRISES IN STORE. AND THAT IS WHY EVERYONE SHOWS UP HERE AND TUNES IN AROUND THE WORLD TO SEE IF THEIR FAVORITE MOVIES AND THE BIGGEST STARS GOT THOSE NOMINATIONS OR IF THESE SURPRISES COME IN. >> YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LOVE A GOOD SURPRISE, I HAVE TO SAY.

WELL, IS THERE ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU’RE WATCHING OUT FOR TODAY? WELL I THINK THE BIG ONES, OPPENHEIMER BARBIE KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, POOR THINGS, THOSE ARE THE THE EXPERTS PREDICT WILL GARNER, YOU KNOW, DOUBLE DIGIT NOMINATIONS. >> THAT HASN’T HAPPENED. >> THAT MANY MOVIES GETTING

DOUBLE DIGIT NOMINATIONS IN SOME YEARS. THOSE ARE THE BIG ONES. THOSE SHOULD TAKE ALL THE MAJOR CATEGORIES. BEST PICTURE, BEST DIRECTOR, THOSE ARE ALMOST LOCKS. NOTHING IS GUARANTEED HERE. BUT DOES IF YOU GO BASED ON THE OTHER AWARDS CEREMONIES DURING THIS SEASON, THAT’S WHAT’S BEEN HAVING THE MOST SUCCESS NETFLIX HAS LED OR

IS LIKELY TO LEAD WITH THE MOST THE MOST NOMINATIONS. THE BIG ONE I’M LOOKING OUT FOR IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MAESTRO. THAT’S BRADLEY COOPER’S MAGNUM OPUS. >> HE WROTE, DIRECTED AND STARS IN IT. THIS IS HIS LIFE’S WORK, AND WE’RE GOING TO SEE IF HE ENDS UP GETTING

THE NOMINATIONS THAT HE IS CERTAINLY HOPING FOR. AMERICAN FICTION IS A BIG ONE. RUSTIN COLMAN DOMINGO GOING TO GET A BIG NOMINATION. HOW ABOUT PAUL GIAMATTI? DOMINIC SESSA IN IN THEIR FILM THE HOLDOVERS. THERE’S A WHOLE BUNCH OF PREDICTIONS THAT WE CAN ALL MAKE, BUT WE MIGHT AS WELL

WAIT JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. >> WE’RE GOING TO FIND OUT. MIGHT AS WELL AWAIT THE GOOD OF A LIFETIME. BUT I’M WITH YOU THERE ON HOLDOVERS, BY THE WAY. I’M REALLY TO SEE HOW IT DOES WILL REEVE AT THE SAMUEL GOLDWYN THEATER IN BEVERLY HILLS. WELL, THANK SO MUCH FOR

BEING HERE WITH US. AND NOW I WANT TO BRING IN OUR PANEL OR NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE MUSE. >> ALSO LOOKING FABULOUS AND SENIOR AWARDS THAT ARE A VARIETY CLAYTON DAVIS ON SET WITH ME HERE IN LOS ANGELES. AND THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS WEARING YOUR HAT.

I WOULD HAVE DEVASTATED HAD YOU NOT ONCE HAD A LOOK. YOU HAD THE ASTRONAUTS ALL CELEBRATED. AND MY KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT. >> SO ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN REALLY INTERESTING, I THINK THIS YEAR IS THE RECORD BREAKING SUMMER THAT WE SAW AT THE BOX OFFICE. WE HAVEN’T SEEN A SUMMER LIKE

THAT IN QUITE TIME WITH THE WHOLE BARBENHEIMER CRAZE. SO A LOT OF GENERAL PEOPLE AT THE ACADEMY ARE PRETTY KEYED IN, AT LEAST ON BARBIE AND OPPENHEIMER. >> LISTEN, IT’S BEEN 25 YEARS SINCE TITANIC, AS WE REMEMBER, AND EVERYONE WAS INVESTED. THAT WAS THE HIGHEST RATED CEREMONY IN OSCARS HISTORY.

TWICE IN THE THEATER. AND I SAW IT LIKE I THINK 40 TIMES WITH THAT WITH SISTERS AND EVERYONE ELSE. RIGHT. >> BUT THIS YEAR, THE THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS SO INVESTED IN WHAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING BECAUSE BARBENHEIMER WAS HUGE. IT’S BEEN EXACTLY 20 YEARS SINCE THE HIGHEST GROSSING FILM

OF THE YEAR WON BEST PICTURE OR THE RINGS RETURN OF THE KING. >> SO BARBIE, NOT CONVENTIONAL OSCAR FODDER, BUT IT IS WELL-LIKED OUT THERE. I’M INTERESTED TO SEE IF WE GET THE BEST DIRECTOR NOMINATION TODAY. >> NO, I KNOW. YOU KNOW, IT’S AJARA IT’S SOMETHING THAT’S DIFFERENT .

BUT THIS ACADEMY IS NEW, HIP, A LITTLE COOLER. THEY DID EVERYTHING. WE’RE AT ONCE. AND THAT HAD, YOU KNOW, WINE AND STUFF. SO FLYING BUTTONS FLYING BY AND WITH FLYING. BUT LET’S GO STRAIGHT TO MIAMI. MIKE, WHAT? AND MIKE, I FEEL LIKE YOU’RE SITTING THERE ALL DRESSED UP WONDERING, WHEN

ARE WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AMERICAN PICTURE? YOU’RE RIGHT IN MY MIND, AS ALWAYS, AMERICAN FICTION IS MY FILM OF THE SEASON. IT WAS ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED FILMS TO SEE BEFORE IT CAME OUT, AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT THE WAY THAT CORD JEFFERSON DIRECTED THIS FILM, THE WAY THAT HE

WROTE THE ADAPTED SCREENPLAY, THE SATIRICAL NATURE OF IT, AND HOLDS A MIRROR UP TO SOCIETY, MAKES US QUESTION THE THINGS THAT WE LOVE AND ENJOY AND THE THINGS THAT WE SEE AS COMMERCIAL AND THAT COMMERCIAL. THAT IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT FILMS . FILMS HOLDS UP A MIRROR

TO SOCIETY AND PULLS BACK THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. AND THEN THE PACING OF HIS DIRECTORIAL DEBUT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND THE WAY THAT HE DIRECTED SUCH FANTASTIC ACTORS JEFFREY WRIGHT. I MEAN, COME ON, HE IS WHERE THE MOST PREEMINENT ACTORS OF OUR TIME, AND HE DELIVERED A MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE THAT I

AM WATCHING RIGHT NOW. STERLING K BROWN IS IF HE CAN DELIVER, A BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR. HIS TURN IN THIS MOVIE WAS ON HBO. AND WE KNOW IF I BY TYLER PLAYED THAT CHARACTER AND IT WAS LANGUAGE. BUT THERE IS A GUY THAT CAN EVEN THE MORNING MARLON BRANDO

COULD SEE IT NOT LIKE SOMEBODY DYING ON THE TOILET. >> REALLY? AMERICAN FICTION. THAT’S MY MOVIE. YOU AND I DON’T THINK THAT YOU’RE ALONE IN THAT OPINION THERE. BUT ALSO, LET’S HAVE IT QUICKLY ABOUT KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON HERE. WE COULD ACTUALLY SEE HISTORY MADE JUST IN A NOMINATION HERE.

LILY GLADSTONE COULD MAKE HISTORY. IF SHE GETS NOMINATED TODAY, SHE’D BE THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN NOMINATED AND BEST ACTRESS CATEGORY FOR THE OSCARS. AND REALLY AT THIS POINT, SHE IS VIEWED AS A LIKELY WINNER BY A LOT OF PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH EMMA STONE MAKING A LATE PUSH. >> YEAH, I MEAN, THIS ALWAYS

OPENS UP THE DEBATE OVER, YOU KNOW, AMAZON’S LIVE PERFORMANCES SHE’S EVER GIVEN IN POOR THINGS SHE’S INCREDIBLE IN IT AND SENDING EXCELLENTLY GLADSTONE IS GOING TO BE ON WHETHER LILY GLADSTONE SHOULD HAVE WENT SUPPORTING VERSUS THERE IS AN HOUR DIFFERENCE OF SCREEN TIME BETWEEN HER AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO IN THIS THREE HOUR

29 MINUTE EPIC FROM MARTIN SCORSESE. SO NOW THEY’RE BATTLING RIGHT NOW AND THEN THIS IS OUR, YOU KNOW, SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE SUPER BOWL, IMPORTANT FOR OSCARS AND SAG IS THE NEXT ONE UP. WE’LL SEE IF LILY CAN ACTUALLY PULL THAT ONE OUT OR EMMA BEATS HER THERE.

ACTUALLY, SHE DID AT THE CRITICS CHOICE. IT’S GOING TO BE A CLOSE RACE, BUT I’M JUST EXCITED TO SEE THESE TWO POWERHOUSES GO UP AGAINST EACH OTHER. >> IT’S A GREAT YEAR. ABSOLUTELY. AND ALSO, YEAH, I AGREE WITH CLAYTON BREWER. THIS DESCRIBES THE END. SO I’M FASCINATED ABOUT THIS

BATTLE BETWEEN LILY GLADSTONE AND EMMA STONE WHEN LILY’S PERFORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL, THE RESTRAINT THAT SHE HAD AND TO CARRY THAT TENSION FOR THREE AND A HALF HOURS OR MORE WAS FINE. EMMA STONE I LOVE THE PHYSICAL ACTING THAT SHE HAD AND THAT IS WHEN YOU PUT THESE TWO IN CONVERSATION.

WHAT MAKES THEM BOTH PERFORMANCES SO THEY’RE BOTH SO POWERFUL TO DELIVER A RESTRAINED PERFORMANCE IS VERY CHALLENGING. IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO HOLD THAT EMOTION KNOW DRAW AS WELL AS KEEPING UP THE PHYSICAL DYNAMIC PACE OF EMMA STONE IS ALSO CHALLENGING, WHICH IS WHY I’M INTRIGUED TO SEE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THAT

BUILDING. THE ACADEMY LOVES A PHYSICAL ACTING AND HER PERFORMANCE THAT WAS FANTASTIC AND VERY PHYSICAL DEMANDING, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT THE ACADEMY LOVES. >> BUT THOSE TWO, EMMA AND LILY, TWO SEPARATE PERFORMANCES, BUT BOTH EQUALLY MASTERFUL. >> AND THAT’LL BE REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE THE ACADEMY COMES OUT ON THAT.

AND LET’S ALSO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER HISTORIC FIRST YEAR THAT WE CAN SEE, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF WOMEN. AND WHEN IT COMES TO DIRECTING, WE COULD SEE SEVERAL WOMEN WITH THESE NEXT BEST PICTURE NOMINATIONS, RIGHT? >> YES. SO WE HAVE THREE MOVIES DIRECTED BY WOMEN IN CONTENTION THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE NOMINATED

TODAY AS ONLY PAST LIVES, ANATOMY OF A BALL AND BARBIE, THE MOST TO EVER HAVE EVER BEEN NOMINATED, ARE TWO. AND WE MAY HAVE ACTUALLY THREE. THIS YEAR AND LISTEN MAYBE A FOURTH BECAUSE SALTBURN HAS BEEN NOMINATED HOT COMING IN HOT, NO PUN INTENDED, BUT IT IS REALLY BEEN HAVING THIS SURGE.

AND WHAT I’VE LEARNED BY TALKING TO VOTERS, AS MUCH AS WE LOVE THAT THEY LOVE MOVIES, THEY ALSO DON’T WATCH A LOT OF MOVIES. AND I KNOW SALTBURN HAS GENERATED CURIOSITY AND PEOPLE HAVE WANTED TO SEE IT. IT GENERATES A VISCERAL REACTION ON BOTH SIDES. AND SO BEING DIVISIVE IS YOUR

BEST FRIEND IN THIS RACE. SO I’M WATCHING OUT FOR THAT TO POP UP IN A FEW CATEGORIES TODAY. I MEAN, EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT SALTBURN THAT I TALKED TO. AND MIKE, WHAT ABOUT THIS LEAD ACTOR CONVERSATION HERE? LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT. WHO ARE YOU WATCHING FOR IN LEAD ACTOR?

LEAD ACTOR JEFFREY WRIGHT. I JUST WANT JEFFREY WRIGHT TO BE IN THERE. I WANT JEFFREY WRIGHT TO HAVE AN INCREDIBLE MORNING. HE WAKES UP MAYBE IF HE WAKES UP IN L.A. OR THE HOLLYWOOD AMAZON TO LOOK AT BRADLEY COOPER. BRADLEY COOPER DELIVERED A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE IN MY STROBE.

I THOUGHT THE WAY THAT HE HELD THAT CHARACTER WAS SUPERB. AND SO THOSE ARE MY TOP TWO, AND I THINK THOSE HAVE TO HAVE IT ON A LARK AS WELL. AND CLAYTON, WHAT ABOUT YOU IN THE LEAD ACTOR ROLE? YOU KNOW, YOU AND I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS.

I THINK THAT LEO DESERVES A NOMINATION I WAS LIKE, I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL TODAY. >> YOU DISAGREE. >> IT’S ABOUT WHO WE WANT TO WIN, BUT WHO WILL RIGHT. >> AND LISTEN, MAYBE TO THAT QUOTE. I’LL TAKE THAT. I CAN GO WITH THE ONE SO

YOU CAN GO WITH THE WORLD LEADER. >> DICAPRIO THIS IS, I THINK WHERE WE ARE WITH LEO NOW IS THAT HE WE’RE NOT COMPARING HIM TO OTHER IN THE YEAR. WE’RE COMPARING HIM TO LEONARDO DICAPRIO PERFORMANCES. HE’S BEEN GREAT IN ALMOST EVERYTHING HE’S TOUCHED. SO IT IS HARD TO BE LEONARDO DICAPRIO.

DELIVER PROBABLY ONE OF YOUR BEST PERFORMANCES OF YOUR CAREER. I THINK SOME PEOPLE TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED AND THEY LOOK AT HIM AND THEY GO, OH, YES, LEO, OF COURSE HE’S GREAT ALL THE TIME. BUT WHAT HE DOES AND KILLS THE FLOWER MOON IS THE FIRST OF ALL, HE PLAYS A BUFFOON,

WHICH YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HIM DO BEFORE. YEAH, AND HE IS SUCH A PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE THAT PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW DIFFICULT IT FOR HIM TO BE DOING WHAT HE’S DOING AND BELIEVE OR NOT REALLY FUNNY IN THE MOVIE AS WELL. I DON’T KNOW HOW IT IS, BUT IT IS A GREAT HOWEVER, THERE’S

JUST LOUDER BIOPIC PERFORMANCES. YOU HAVE COLMAN DOMINGO AND BRUST IN THERE, BRADLEY COOPER AND MAESTRO, EACH OF THEM VERY, VERY TIGHTLY, MORE INTERESTING. >> AND NOW WE’RE GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE NOMINATIONS. LET’S LISTEN IN.

ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR IS HERE. IT’S XM RADIO’S MAKE NEWS IS NOT AT ALL EXCITED AND SENIOR AWARDS FARAI CLAYTON DAVIS WOW OKAY LET’S START WHERE THEY ENDED AND LET’S START WITH AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE. I SAID YESTERDAY THAT IF A MONOLOGUE AND A SPEECH CAN GET YOU IN THIS NOMINATION,

FERRERA IS IN THE LATINOS ARE AT THE OSCARS. >> IT’S A GOOD WORLD TO LIVE IN. I’M SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW. AMERICA FERRERA LISTEN, SHE’S STILL THE ONLY LATINA EVER TO WIN LEAD ACTRESS COMEDY AT THE EMMYS FOR UGLY BETTY, WHICH WAS 25 YEARS AGO, 15 YEARS AGO.

SHE WAS ALSO IN DUMB MONEY. IT’S JUST IT’S AN INCREDIBLE FEAT. AND DANIELLE BROOKS GETTING IN FOR THE COLOR PURPLE.

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HER. I OUT YESTERDAY I WAS AND I THINK SHE IS I WANTED HER IN THERE SO BAD. I THINK SHE’S SO GOOD IN IT. BUT THE MOVIE CAME OUT REALLY LATE AND IT’S HARD TO DO THAT THAT EARLY IN THE SEASON. AND SHE’S THERE ALONGSIDE JODIE

FOSTER, A TWO TIME WINNER, DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH AND EMILY BLUNT. HER FIRST NOMINATION THIS YEAR FOR OPPENHEIMER. THIS IS A KILLER LINEUP. ABSOLUTELY. AND RIGHT. LET’S TAKE THAT HERE. YOU KNOW, WE WERE DISCUSSING YESTERDAY THAT DANIELLE BROOKS MIGHT NOT MAKE IT INTO THIS CATEGORY AND NOW POTENTIALLY COULD ONE OF

THE ONLY NOMINATIONS FOR THE COLOR PURPLE? >> YEAH, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING CATEGORIES SO FAR. I THINK AFTER THE BOTH OF YOU, I THOUGHT AMERICAN HORROR WAS ON THE BUBBLE. SO WHEN SHE GOT ANNOUNCED, I WAS SO EXCITED THAT SHE GOT IN THERE. I KNEW DANIELLE BROOKS WOULD

GET NOMINATED BECAUSE DANIELLE BROOKS IS A DARLING OF THE BROADWAY SCENE IN THE BROADWAY COMMUNITY. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF OVERLAP IN THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND TYPE OF MEMBERS THAT ARE ALSO TOO WITHIN THE ACADEMY. AND SO THE FACT THAT SHE GOT IN, THERE’S AMAZING DIVIDE. JOY, DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH, THIS

IS HER YEAR IT’S HERS THAT NEW TO TAKE. THIS WAS A VERY STRONG CATEGORY. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE. >> AND LET’S TALK QUICKLY ABOUT ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE BECAUSE MARK RUFFALO GOT IN AND I THINK THAT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE HE WAS ON THE BUBBLE

PICTURE GOING TO HAVE MAYBE 2 TO 3 NON ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOVIES THIS YEAR WOULD BE AWESOME. >> A FANTASTIC YEAR. AND MIKE, DO YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN ON HERE? KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON BEING LEFT OUT OF ADAPTED SCREENPLAY. >> I’M NOT THAT SURPRISED. THAT WAS A VERY STRONG CATEGORY.

I KNOW WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME, BUT I’M SO EXCITED FOR AMERICAN FICTION THAT GOT IN THERE FOR ADAPTED SCREENPLAY . WE’RE EXCITED FOR THAT ONE. THAT CATEGORY, LIKE YOU SAID, WILLIAM DAFOE, THAT WAS A BIG UPSET FOR ME. I THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD GET IT OVER. MARK RUFFALO I THINK THE STRONG

PERFORMANCE WAS JUST A GOOD NOTE ABOUT COSTUME. I KNOW WE’RE EXCITED CATEGORY FOR EVERYONE, BUT I’M EXCITED. WHEN I WAS WATCHING THAT, I WAS LIKE, I WANT THAT SHIRT, THAT SUIT, THAT SPORT JACKET, AND ALSO TO GO FOR MAKEUP, GIVE IT TO THE MAKEUP ARTIST MAN FOR THINGS TO DO AS WELL.

WE FORWARD TO CELEBRATING WITH YOU. ALL RIGHT. OF ALL THE THINGS THAT CLAYTON IS THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT THAT WE JUST HEARD, HE’S THE MOST EXCITED THAT IS GOING TO START A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. >> SO HAPPY DAY. ALL RIGHT. THERE’S A LOT TO BREAK DOWN. FIRST, LET’S TALK ABOUT BARBIE,

WHERE IT WAS NOT. >> NO, MARGOT ROBBIE. NO, GRETA GERWIG, TWO HUGE MISSES. LISTEN TO GERWIG SNUB. UNFORTUNATELY, I SAW IT COMING AGAIN. >> IT’S — IT’S DUE TO GENRE BIAS. IT’S COMEDY. >> AND A FEW ACADEMY MEMBERS HAVE TOLD ME SOME VARIATION OF THIS SENTENCE.

AT THE END OF DAY, IT’S STILL JUST BARBIE. I THINK PEOPLE JUST SAW IT. IT’S JUST LIKE A FANTASY COMEDY THAT THEY CELEBRATED THE BOX OFFICE OF IT, BUT IT JUST DIDN’T CATCH ON WITH THE ACADEMY. >> BUT THEY DID GO FOR A WOMAN IN THAT CATEGORY. JUSTINE SRIDHAR FROM ANATOMY

OF A FALL. HUGE NOMINATION FOR THAT MOVIE. AND WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT THAT ALSO IT WASN’T SELECTED FOR FRANCE FOR REPRESENTED IN INTERNATIONAL FEATURE OF FRENCH MOVIE. THEY DID SELECT HEAPS OF THINGS GOT TODAY. SO FRANCE IS NOT LOOKING GOOD RIGHT NOW FOR CHOOSING THE WRONG MOVIE. AND ANY OF FOUR WON THE PALME

D’OR AT THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL AND THIS IS HUGE. >> SO IT HAD A REALLY GOOD DAY TODAY. YES. BY THE WAY, ANNOUNCED THE BEST PICTURE NOMINATIONS IN CLINTON’S ACTUAL ORDER. AND HE WAS SPOT ON WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE NIGHT. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE

TO WEIGH IN HERE ON ANNETTE BENING, MAKING IT IN. FROM THAT, I KNEW IT. I KNEW WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEING HER PERFORMANCE, THAT PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE THE ACADEMY LOVES THAT PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE. WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED HER FIRST, I SAID THERE IS GOING TO BE UPSET. SOMEONE’S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.

I KNEW WAS GOING TO BE MARGOT ROBBIE. I JUST DIDN’T THINK THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO BRING IT HOME FOR AN OSCAR NOMINATION FOR THAT PERFORMANCE, ALTHOUGH SHE DID A REALLY GREAT TURN, AS CLAYTON JUST MENTIONED, THE GENRE BIAS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT ONE. BUT LET ME TELL YOU THAT

THE ACADEMY CANNOT DO THAT TO ME AGAIN, HOLDING OUT FOR JEFFREY WRIGHT TO GET THE LAST LAUGH, I WOULD NOT BE LIKE, DON’T DO THIS TO ME. AND THEY IT I’M SO HAPPY FOR JEFFREY WRIGHT. BUT I KNEW I WASN’T I DIDN’T I THOUGHT LEONARDO DICAPRIO WAS ACTUALLY ON THE BUBBLE ONCE

THEY SAID COLMAN DOMINGO, I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BE ON THE BUBBLE. ONCE HE CAME IN, I KNEW LEONARDO GOING TO BE OUT. I THINK THAT’S A VERY STRONG CATEGORY. I ALSO CHU HEARD FOUR THINGS COME UP A LOT FOR THINGS THAT ARE REALLY GREAT MOURNING RIGHT NOW.

IT WAS A NOMINATION THAT THEY HAVE GOING ON, BUT REALLY MY CATEGORY WAS GOING TO BE REALLY CONTESTED AS BEST ACTRESS. THAT IS GOING TO BE A REALLY GREAT CATEGORY. BUT BEST ACTOR, I THINK THE RACE COMES DOWN BETWEEN JEFFREY WRIGHT AND PAUL GIAMATTI. PAUL GIAMATTI DELIVER IT. FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE IN THE

HOLD OVERS. IT WAS, BUT YET IT WAS COMPLEX. IT WAS LAYERED. HE SHOWED GREAT THOUGHT RESTRAINT. THIS I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR HIM. I THINK IS GOING TO HAVE A REALLY GREAT OSCAR NIGHT AS WELL. I DO TOO, AND I LIKE THAT MOVIE, BUT I ALSO DON’T WANT TO LOOK OVERLOOK KELLY AND

MURPHY. >> KELLY MURPHY GOT HIS FIRST OSCAR NOMINATION. YOU KNOW, IT’S FUNNY. I FEEL LIKE THERE’S THIS KELLY MURPHY AS THE STAR DICAPRIO, IT SEEMS THAT HE HAD FOR A LONG TIME. >> HE LOOK 25 FOR LAST 25 YEARS AND HE’S 47 YEARS OLD. HE’S ACTUALLY VERY GROWN. BUT WHAT’S ACTUALLY INTERESTING

HERE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO NOTE, I THINK WE HAVE FOUR MOVIES THAT CRACKED DOUBLE DIGITS IN NOMINEES. YOU’VE GOT TEN OR MORE. AND THAT IS THE SECOND TIME THAT’S HAPPENED IN OSCAR HISTORY. THE FIRST ONE WAS IN 2019 WITH 1917, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, JOKER AND THOSE MOVIES IS LOST.

BEST PICTURE TO PARASITE THEN ONLY HAD SIX. >> YEAH, THE FIRST NON ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOVIE SO IS A VERY INTERESTING ECLECTIC LINEUP FROM THE FROM THE ACADEMY AND I LOVE THIS AMERICAN FICTION SUPPORT GROUP WE HAVE GOING ON HERE. IT’S A IT’S MY FAVORITE FILM OF THE YEAR SO I’M JUST HAPPY

JEFFREY WRIGHT AND COLMAN DOMINGO, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME IN OSCAR HISTORY TWO BLACK ACTORS HAVE MADE IT INTO THE BEST ACTOR LINEUP THAT DIDN’T INCLUDE WILL SMITH OR DENZEL WASHINGTON. >> OH, WOW AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE NUMBERS HERE FOR YOU. AND TO YOUR POINT, OPPENHEIMER

COMING IN WITH OVERALL POOR THINGS, WITH 11 OVERALL KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON WITH TEN OVERALL. AND BARBIE, I MEAN, WHILE HE’S MISSING OUT ON A FEW OF THOSE KEY CATEGORIES. SO COMING IN HERE WITH EIGHT, I THINK ALL EYES ARE GOING TO BE ON HIM FOR THAT. SO IT DIDN’T CRACK DOUBLE

DIGITS, BUT STILL GOT EIGHT. AND WE CAN’T GO WITHOUT POINTING OUT THIS LITTLE WIN HERE FOR THIS MISSION IMPOSSIBLE FRANCHISE. >> GETTING THEIR NOMINATIONS AFTER THAT WAS. A SHOCK FOR ME BECAUSE THAT FRANCHISE HAS BEEN PASSED OVER FOR YEARS. AND I MEAN, THE FIRST ONE CAME OUT IN 1995, HAS NEVER RECEIVED

AN OSCAR NOMINATION. THEY GOT TWO THIS YEAR. SO LEFT OVER TOM CRUISE LEFT FROM GUN MAVERICK, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT DID VERY WELL TODAY. AND AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO NOTE ANNETTE BENING GETTING IN AT SANDRA HULLER WAS THAT WAS THE SIGN FOR ME IN THAT CATEGORY THAT SOMEONE BIG MUSIC

CANNOT BELIEVE MARGOT ROBBIE, BUT SHE’S NOMINATED FOR BEST AS A PRODUCER FOR BARBIE AND REALLY GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY. MAESTRO, I THAT ONE WAS SHOT SO BEAUTIFULLY FRAMED FOR FRAME. I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE THE TAKE HOME OF OSCAR NIGHT IS MY SHORT FOR BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY SHORT AND

MY SHORT CAN WIN IN SOUND AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SERIOUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE MYERS AND OUR SENIOR AWARD THAT ARE AT “VARIETY” CLAYTON DAVIS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. WHAT A FUN MORNING THIS ONE AND THAT DOES IT FOR THE NOMINATIONS FOR THE 96TH ACADEMY AWARDS.

NOTCH MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE. ABC NEWS SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHAEL SCOTT STARTS US OFF FROM BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. VOTERS HEADING TO THE POLLS FOR THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY, WHICH COULD HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN THE BATTLE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU IS

GOING TO CAST THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT VOTE. IT’S NOW DOWN TO A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY, THE FORMER PRESIDENT LOOKING TO CLOSE OUT THE PRIMARY QUICKLY WITH A DECISIVE VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

WE STARTED OFF WITH 13 AND NOW WE’RE DOWN TO TWO PEOPLE. AND I THINK ONE PERSON WILL BE GONE PROBABLY TOMORROW. FRESH OFF TRUMP’S LANDSLIDE WIN IN IOWA. HIS FORMER RIVALS LINING UP BEHIND ONE BY ONE. >> WE NEED DONALD TRUMP. AMERICA NEEDS DONALD TRUMP. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,

VOTE TRUMP. IF YOU WANT FOUR MORE YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP, LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM. >> HE HAS CAMPAIGNS HERE FAR MORE THAN TRUMP HOLDING 81 EVENTS. THE FORMER PRESIDENT, JUST 17. BUT SHE’S STILL TRAILING HIM BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN THE FINAL BLITZING THROUGH THE STATE, LOOKING TO PULL OFF A MAJOR

UPSET. >> PLEASE, PLEASE. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH. WE GOT TO WORK. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE REST OF IT GOING ON IN SOUTH CAROLINA. HALEY, SHE’S THE LAST HOPE OF STOPPING A BIDEN TRUMP REMATCH. DO YOU WANT MORE OF THE SAME OR DO YOU WANT TO GO FORWARD HOPING TO WIN OVER INDEPENDENT

VOTERS? >> AND I BELIEVE IN CONCORD, IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE NIKKI . WHY, NIKKI? BECAUSE I THINK IT’S TIME FOR A BIG CHANGE. THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR RAMPING UP HER ATTACKS ,TELLING VOTERS TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN ARE JUST TOO OLD FOR THE JOB. ARE WE REALLY GOING TO SAY

THAT WE’RE OKAY WITH HAVING OUR OPTIONS BE TO 80 YEAR OLDS AT ONE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TELLING HIS SUPPORTERS, HEY, WE WOULDN’T STAND A CHANCE IN NOVEMBER? >> SO IF YOU WANT A CANDIDATE WHO PUTS AMERICA LAST, VOTE FOR NIKKI HALEY. BUT IF YOU WANT A PRESIDENT WHO PUTS AMERICA FIRST, EVERY

SINGLE, YOU’RE GOING TO VOTE FOR DONALD J. >> TRUMP. AND YOU HAVE TO GET OUT AND DIANE, IN THE POLLS HAVE BEEN BUSY. WE WERE TOLD OVER 100 PEOPLE WERE WAITING IN LINE BEFORE THE POLLS EVEN OPENED HERE IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. YOU REALLY GET THE SENSE TALKING TO PEOPLE THAT THEY

UNDERSTAND HOW CONSEQUENTIAL THEIR VOTE IS, BECAUSE UNLIKE IN PREVIOUS CYCLES, THIS IS REALLY NOW JUST A TWO PERSON RACE.

AND ABC ZOHREEN SHAH JOINS ME

NOW FROM A POLLING LOCATION IN, BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. SO WHAT KIND OF TURNOUT ARE YOU SEEING SO FAR, DIANE? >> A VERY BIG TURNOUT. I MEAN, HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, THEY KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO VOTE TODAY. THEY KNOW HOW CONSEQUENTIAL THEIR VOTE WILL BE. AND IN FACT, WE’RE HERE

WITH ONE OF THOSE VOTERS RIGHT NOW, CURT NELSON. CURT, YOU JUST VOTED. >> I DID. WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR? I VOTED FOR VIVEK RAMASWAMY. >> AND WHY HE’S NO LONGER IN THE RACE. HE’S NO LONGER IN THE RACE. BUT I HAVE THE FORTUNE TO MEET HIM.

HE WAS HAD QUITE A PRESENCE, NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND I WAS JUST SO TAKEN WITH HIS DEMEANOR HIS ACUMEN. I THINK HE’S THE TYPE OF LEADER THIS COUNTRY NEEDS. VOTING GLASS. I HEAR THAT FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY

TO PEOPLE WHO WERE LIKE, OKAY, THIS IS SUCH A CONSEQUENTIAL ELECTION. WHY NOT VOTE FOR HALEY OR SOMEONE WE KNOW IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE TWO LATER ON? RIGHT. IT WAS A CONSCIOUS VOTE. I THINK TRUMP COMES THE BAGGAGE THAT WE’RE ALL AWARE OF. I DO BELIEVE HE’LL HE WILL

GET THE NOMINATION, THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. BUT I VOTED WITH HEART TODAY. AND I REALLY I REALLY BELIEVE IN VIVEK RAMASWAMY I THINK HE’S THE FUTURE. AND I THINK THERE’S TWO THINGS IF HE CAN BE OUR LEADERSHIP. SO YOU THINK IT’S GOING TO BE TRUMP LATER ON TONIGHT? I DO. EXACTLY.

ALL POLLING SHOWS AS WELL, WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS WE’RE IN FOR ANOTHER MAGIC BETWEEN BIDEN AND TRUMP. IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE TRUE? RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? I WISH WE HAD BETTER CHOICES, HONESTLY. I THINK IT COULD. YOU KNOW, THE LAST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THIS COUNTRY IS VERY DIVIDED.

WE’RE VERY DIVIDED NOW UNDER BIDEN WILL BE VERY DIVIDED UNDER TRUMP AS WELL. AND IT’S GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING TO. >> SEE HOW THE POLITICS PLAYS OUT OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. THAT FEELING OF DIVISION IN A LOT OF SIX INCIDENT, ALL OF THAT IS THE RIOTS, ALL OF IT.

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO HEAL BADLY AND WITH EVERYONE TOGETHER WITH THE FEELING OF HEALING, SHARED OF COMMON SENSE. AND I JUST HOPE WE CAN GET TO THAT POINT IN THIS COUNTRY WHO DESPERATELY NEED IT. WE HAVE TO WRAP NOW, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR COMING OUT AND VOTING

TODAY. APPRECIATE. THANK YOU. TAKE CARE. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, DAN, WE’LL THROW IT BACK TO YOU OVER THERE IN THE STUDIO. ALL RIGHT. ZOHREEN SHAH IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. THANKS. AND ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN HAS A BREAKDOWN OF THE LATEST POLLS AND HOW KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE IOWA

CAUCUSES AND THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME. >> HI, RICK. HEY, DIANE. YEAH, THIS IS THE LAST GLIMPSE OF POLLING THAT WE’RE GETTING FROM OUR PARTNERS AT FIVETHIRTYEIGHT. >> AND IT TELLS AN INTERESTING STORY. JUST SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, YOU’VE SEEN SOME BIG CHANGES THIS RACE.

>> YOU’VE SEEN CANDIDATES COMING AND GOING, YOU’VE SEEN ENDORSEMENTS, YOU’VE SEEN AD DROPS ALL THESE THINGS. AND IT’S HAD AN IMPACT IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. NIKKI HALEY’S HAVE TICKED UP A LITTLE BIT. AND IN FACT, IT LOOKED AT ONE POINT LIKE SHE COULD CHALLENGE DONALD TRUMP AND EVEN GET INTO

THE SINGLE DIGITS. BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED JUST IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO. HALEY CONTINUED TO RISE, BUT TRUMP ROSE EVEN FASTER. SO YOU COME INTO THE DAY WITH A BIG TRUMP LEAD 15 PLUS POINTS IN OUR FIVETHIRTYEIGHT POLLING AVERAGE. BUT NEW HAMPSHIRE IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN IOWA AND MOST OTHER STATES.

ONE BIG DIFFERENCE INDEPENDENTS GET TO VOTE. IT’S NOT JUST CORE REPUBLICANS . AND THIS WAS THE LAST POLLING FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AMONG REPUBLICANS. DONALD TRUMP IS ROMPING 67%. TWO THIRDS OF REPUBLICANS ARE VOTING TRUMP AMONG UNDECLARED INDEPENDENT VOTERS, THOUGH, NIKKI HALEY RUNS VERY STRONG, ALMOST 30 POINTS AHEAD

OF DONALD TRUMP. SO THE MORE INDEPENDENTS SHOW UP, THE BETTER IT IS FOR HALEY, THE MORE THAT THIS IS JUST ABOUT REPUBLICANS. THAT’S BETTER FOR DONALD TRUMP. THIS IS THE KIND OF DIFFERENCE IT CAN MEAN TYPICALLY, YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT A THIRD OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS, REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

ARE INDEPENDENT, UNDECLARED VOTERS. BUT BACK IN 2012, THE LAST TIME YOU HAD AN INCUMBENT DEMOCRAT RUNNING. >> SO THERE WASN’T A LOT OF REASON FOR DEMOCRATS TO VOTE THAT YEAR. YOU SAW INDEPENDENTS, ALMOST HALF, 45% OF THE ELECTORATE ON THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY WERE ACTUALLY INDEPENDENTS. SO IF IT WE GET TOWARD

THAT KIND OF NUMBER FOUR FOR NIKKI HALEY, SHE CAN RUN PRETTY STRONG. THAT’S WHAT SHE NEEDS. SHE MAY NEED A RECORD TURNOUT AND THEN A RECORD SHARE AMONG THOSE INDEPENDENTS IF SHE’S GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE. >> AND THEN THERE’S A BIG WRINKLE. ONE OTHER WRINKLE, I SHOULD

SAY, AND THIS IS ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS. SO THE LAST TIME THERE WAS A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, JOE BIDEN GOT DESTROYED CAME IN FIFTH PLACE. >> NOW, THIS TIME AROUND, THINGS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE ACTUALLY THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY COUNT FOR DELEGATES. JOE BIDEN ISN’T EVEN ON THE BALLOT.

THAT SAID, A LOT OF HIS SUPPORTERS ARE ORGANIZING A WRITE IN CAMPAIGN AND THIS COULD ACTUALLY IMPACT WHAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WITH NIKKI HALEY, BECAUSE THE MORE DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS THAT DECIDE TO VOTE IN THAT DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, THAT COULD BE TAKING VOTERS AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN SIDE AND PROBABLY AWAY FROM NIKKI

HALEY. SO ALL OF THESE INTER-RELATED PIECES MAKE DAY TODAY JUST ABSOLUTELY TO WATCH DIANE. >> IT SURE DOES. POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN, THANK YOU. AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. MEANWHILE, AMERICAN AND BRITISH

FORCES HAVE LAUNCHED A NEW ROUND OF STRIKES AGAINST MULTIPLE MILITARY TARGETS ACROSS YEMEN. THESE NEW STRIKES COME AFTER THE IRAN BACKED GROUP ATTACKED AN AMERICAN AIR BASE IN IRAQ. AND IT’S THE LATEST RESPONSE TO REPEATED ATTACKS ON SHIPS IN THE RED SEA. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG

HAS THE LATEST ON THAT. HI, SELINA HEY, GOOD MORNING, DIANE. THE U.S., U.K., US ALLIES HAVE LAUNCHED ANOTHER MAJOR ATTACK AGAINST THE HOUTHIS IN YEMEN. THEIR GOAL WAS TO STOP THE MILITANT GROUP THAT’S BACKED BY IRAN FROM CONTINUING ITS ATTACKS, THE RED SEA. BUT SO FAR, MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF U.S. ATTACKS, INCLUDING

A MASSIVE JOINT AIR STRIKE EARLIER THIS MONTH, HAVE FAILED TO. STOP THE HOUTHI ATTACKS. NOW, THIS TIME, OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEIR STRIKES HIT AN UNDERGROUND HOUTHIS STORAGE FACILITY, AS WELL AS DRONE AND MISSILE SITES. AND U.S. OFFICIALS INSIST TO ME THAT THEIR STRIKES THAT THE STRATEGY IS IT’S MAKING IT

HARDER FOR THE HOUTHIS TO LAUNCH NEW ATTACKS. BUT THE THEY SAY THEY ARE BACKING DOWN. THEY CLAIM THAT THEIR ACTIONS ARE IN PROTEST OF ISRAEL’S MILITARY CAMPAIGN IN GAZA. IT’S LED TO COSTLY DISRUPTIONS IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT TRADING ROUTES. AND IT’S ALSO CREATED A DANGEROUS.

THERE’S NO CLEAR END IN SIGHT TO THESE BACK AND FORTH STRIKES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SPIRAL INTO A WIDER WAR. DIANE. >> SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG, THANK YOU. AT LEAST 21 ISRAELI SOLDIERS ARE NOW DEAD AFTER AN ATTACK IN GAZA YESTERDAY. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES ARE CALLING MONDAY

THE DEADLIEST DAY FOR TROOPS SINCE THE WAR STARTED. THE IDF SAYS THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ISRAELI TROOPS KILLED IN GAZA TO 221. CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN HAS THE LATEST FROM TEL AVIV, ISRAEL. HI, MATT DIANA. THIS WAS THE DEADLIEST ATTACK ON ISRAELI TROOPS SINCE. THE CONFLICT BEGAN.

THE ISRAELI MILITARY SAYING THAT A RESERVE UNIT WAS PREPARING TO DEMOLISH APPARENT TWO STORY BUILDINGS IN GAZA. PALESTINIAN MILITANTS FIRED AN RPG AT A TANK NEARBY. THAT BLAST SET OFF A CHAIN REACTION, DETONATING THE MINES THAT THE SOLDIERS WERE GOING TO USE AND CAUSING A MASSIVE EXPLOSION THAT BROUGHT THOSE

BUILDINGS DOWN ON THEM. >> IT ALL, 21 ISRAELI SOLDIERS, RESERVISTS WERE KILLED. >> UNCLEAR HOW MANY WERE WOUNDED. ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU ALREADY SAYING THERE WILL BE A MILITARY INVESTIGATION, BUT VOWING TO FIGHT UNTIL VICTORY. THIS IS LIKELY TO INCREASE THE DIVISION ISRAEL ABOUT WHAT VICTORY IN GAZA LOOKS LIKE

AND TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON HIM TO FOCUS ON BRINGING THE HOSTAGES. WE’VE ALSO SEEN THE MOST INTENSE FIGHTING IN WEEKS AROUND THE SECOND LARGEST PALESTINIAN CITY OF KHAN YUNIS, PALESTINA OFFICIALS THERE REPORTING NEARLY 200 KILLED, THOUSANDS ON THE RUN, FLEEING THE CITY, TRYING FIND A SAFER PLACE TO BE.

DAN, CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN, THANK YOU. AND SAN DIEGO IS UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY AFTER GETTING THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN JUST 3 HOURS. DOZENS OF PEOPLE BEEN RESCUED BY JET SKIS AND RAFTS. MEANWHILE, BITTER COLD IS STRIKING PARTS OF THE HEARTLAND. 14 STATES ARE ON ALERT FOR

ICE AND SNOW. AND WATCH. WELL, THAT FIRE TRUCK JUST SPINS RIGHT OUT OF CONTROL. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE HAS THE LATEST. >> WICKED WINTER STORMS FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO MISSOURI. >> IN SAN DIEGO, AT LEAST TWO DOZEN WATER RESCUES AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN FELL IN JUST 3 HOURS.

CARS STRANDED IN THE DELUGE. THIS MAN FORCED TO ESCAPE OUT HIS WINDOW. PARTS I-5 UNDER WATER. >> THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SWALLOWED BY THEIR DAY IN NEARLY 100 YEARS. >> THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF WORK WITHOUT A HOUSE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED RIGHT NOW. >> EMERGENCY CREWS USING JET

SKIS AND RAFTS TO REACH THOSE TRAPPED. A DOG STUCK ON THE ROOF OF THIS HOME IN MISSION BEACH. THIS OWNER MAKING A HOMEMADE BARRICADE TO TRY TO KEEP THE WATER OUT. AFTER TRYING TO THE POINT WHERE SAYS THERE ARE JUST TOO MUCH WATER COMING IN, WE CAN’T AFFORD, YOU KNOW,

INVENTORY IN OUR MACHINES OR ITEMS OR ELECTRICITY. FROM THE OZARKS TO CENTRAL ILLINOIS. FREEZING RAIN GLAZING THE ROADS WITH ICE. >> CARS FLIPPED IN OKLAHOMA AND IMPERIAL. THIS FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. THANKFULLY, NOBODY WAS INJURED. >> AND ON LAKE ERIE, 20 PEOPLE RESCUED AFTER BEING STRANDED

ON AN ICE FLOE. THE COAST GUARD RESCUING SOME VIA HELICOPTER. THE WARM UP THAT IS TO COME WILL PROBABLY PROMPT MORE RESCUES LIKE THAT. BUT LET’S TO THAT EVENTUALLY BECAUSE WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THE TWO STORMS THE ONE THAT HAD ALL THAT ACTION. SAN DIEGO IS NOW OVER ARIZONA.

IT’S ACTUALLY CANCELED SOME FLIGHTS OUT OF LAS VEGAS. BUT LET’S FOCUS IN ON STORM NUMBER ONE, BECAUSE THE ROUND OF RAIN THAT’S GOING TO COME THROUGH FROM SOUTHEAST TEXAS ALL THE WAY TO NORTHERN ALABAMA TOMORROW, THAT WILL POTENTIALLY GIVE YOU SOME FLASH FLOODING. SO THERE ARE A LOT OF PLACES

LIKE LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI AND THE DELTA THERE THAT ARE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF RAIN THERE. TERRIBLE DROUGHT, BUT ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAIN. YOU DON’T NEED IT THIS WAY. HIGHEST FLASH FLOOD THREAT INCLUDES SHREVEPORT. IT’S OUT OF SOUTHERN ARKANSAS. JACKSON UP TO TUPELO AND EVEN PARTS OF TYLER, TEXAS. REMEMBER, THIS COULD ALSO

HAVE DAMAGING WINDS WITH IT TODAY. IT’S MOSTLY SOUTHEAST LIKE HOUSTON WITH THE DAMAGING WINDS AND EVEN ISOLATED TORNADOES. OKAY. SO MOVING TO THE NORTHERN, YOU GO ANYWHERE FROM CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA, TO PITTSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS AND YOU’VE GOT A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. THE VERY NORTHERN TIER IS FOR

MOSTLY SNOW AND IT’S AND 1 TO 3 INCHES FOR THE MOST PART, JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE THE ROADS SLICK. AND ON THE PINK PART, WHERE YOU SEE THE FUTURE CARS MOVING THERE, THAT’S FREEZING RAIN. SO EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF FREEZING DRIZZLE EVEN HERE JUST NORTH OF NEW YORK CITY,

COULD END UP GLAZING SOME OF THE ROADS. SO BE EXTRA CAREFUL AS YOU GO OUT WEDNESDAY MORNING. THEN WE WILL SEE THAT JANUARY THAW AND THE TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO THE UPPER FIFTIES, NEW YORK CITY, BY FRIDAY. CHICAGO EVEN SEES A LOW FORTIES. WASHINGTON, D.C. COULD BE CLOSE TO 70.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK MAKES ,DIANE. ALL RIGHT, CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE. THANK YOU. COMING UP, A MONSTER WAVE SLAMS INTO A U.S. MILITARY BASE, TAKING OUT DOORS AND WINDOWS AND KNOCKING OVER AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE.

RISING SEA LEVELS ARE LEADING TO POWERFUL WAVES AND FLOODING. AN EXTREME WAVE IS A WAVE THAT IS MUCH LARGER THAN, SAY, THE THE THE AVERAGE THE WAVES AT A GIVEN TIME. >> IF THERE WERE MULTIPLE WAVES SET, THEN IT’S POSSIBLE THAT THE ENERGY COULD JUST DOUBLE IN AN AREA FROM

AMERICAN TO BE NOMINATED, THIS CATEGORY, WHICH IS HUGE FOR HER, BUT ALSO EMMA STONE NOW BECOMES THE SECOND WOMAN TO BE NOMINATED FOR ACTING AND BEST PICTURE FOR THE SAME FILM FILM. SO WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME, WHICH IS REALLY AMAZING TOO. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK

THAT EMMA STONE COULD COME IN AND ACTUALLY BE THE WINNER IN THAT CATEGORY. >> ALSO, WE CANNOT SLEEP ON ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE . >> AMERICA FERRERA GETTING WHAT SOME CONSIDER A SURPRISE THERE FOR BARBIE. AND THEN DANIELLE BROOKS GETTING A NOMINATION, THE COLOR PURPLE. AND THAT MAY BE ONE OF THE

IT’S BARBIE RIGHT UP AND DOWN. SO THEY ONLY CAME IN IN THE END WITH NOMINATIONS, WHICH ULTIMATELY IS A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THAT MOVIE. BUT THEN FOR MARGOT ROBBIE TO NOT GET NOMINATED IN LEAD ACTRESS AND THEN GRETA GERWIG TO NOT GET NOMINATED IN DIRECTOR. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE HER ON

THERE IN JUST 3 HOURS. SOME PARTS OF CALIFORNIA GOT NINE INCHES OF RAIN IN THREE DAYS. MEANWHILE, A STORM IN THE MIDWEST CREATED DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. IN MISSOURI, ICY ROADS SENT FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. THAT STORMS OUT BRINGING RAIN AND ICE TO CHICAGO AND DETROIT. UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS SAY

AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND ANOTHER 67 INJURED AFTER RUSSIAN STRIKES IN UKRAINE’S TWO LARGEST CITIES. RESIDENTS IN KYIV AND KHARKIV SAY THE STRIKES CAME EARLY IN THE MORNING WHILE MOST WERE STILL SLEEPING. UKRAINE SAYS IT SHOT DOWN 21 OF THE 41 MISSILES THAT APPEARED TO BE TARGETING RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

AND TRIBUTES ARE POURING IN FOR. SCOTT KING, THE YOUNGEST SON OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. THE KING CENTER SAYS DEXTER BATTLED PROSTATE CANCER AND PASSED AWAY AT HOME ON SUNDAY. HIS OLDER BROTHER SAID IN A STATEMENT THE SUDDEN SHOCK IS DEVASTATING. IT’S HARD TO HAVE THE RIGHT

WORDS AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS. DEXTER WAS ONLY YEARS OLD WHEN HIS FATHER WAS KILLED. HE CONTINUED HIS FATHER’S CIVIL RIGHTS WORK AS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NONPROFIT KING CENTER, STARTED BY HIS MOTHER CORETTA SCOTT KING. DEXTER SCOTT WAS 62. AND JOEL EMBIID IS NOW PART OF NBA HISTORY.

THE 70 SIXERS POWER PHOTOS. THE FORWARD SET A FRANCHISE RECORD SCORING 70 POINTS IN A WIN OVER ANTONIO LAST NIGHT. THAT BEATS OUT THE 68 POINTS THAT WILT CHAMBERLAIN SCORED DURING A GAME IN 1967. AND BEATS PERFORMANCE 18 YEARS TO THE DAY AFTER KOBE BRYANT SCORED 81 POINTS AGAINST

TORONTO, THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARIES THAT WERE OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT’S A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN FORMER TRUMP AND FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY AND HALEY ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE. ABC’S EVA PILGRIM IS TALKING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS ABOUT HOW THEY ARE MAKING

THEIR CHOICE IN HIGH STAKES PRIMARY. >> WHY DO YOU THINK IT’S SO IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE IN THIS PRIMARY? BECAUSE THE COUNTRY IS A MESS. SO WE DECIDED WE WERE GOING TO VOTE FOR TOMORROW. >> YES, I FEEL LIKE IT’S IMPORTANT EVERYBODY SHOULD VOTE. VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,

THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY, HAVE HISTORY OF TURNING OUT. >> DO YOU MIND TELLING ME WHO YOU’RE PLANNING TO VOTE FOR? TRUMP. WHY DID YOU PAUSE WHEN YOU SAID IT? IT’S JUST EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN OPINION. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN VIEWS ON EACH CANDIDATE. >> SO IT CAN GET HOSTILE

AT TIMES, ACCORDING FIVETHIRTYEIGHT’S ANALYSIS OF RECENT POLLS. SOME OF THE TOP ISSUES FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS, IMMIGRATION AND THE BORDER, THE ECONOMY AND FOREIGN POLICY. BUT WHEN YOU TALK TO VOTERS, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE CANDIDATE. >> AND BOTH NIKKI HALEY BECAUSE SHE JUST A SCRATCH.

SHE’S YOUNG, SHE’S AN ACCOUNTANT, AND I LIKE THAT SHE’S GOING TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. SOME VOTERS SAY THEY’RE READY FOR SOMETHING NEW. >> I VOTED FOR TRUMP IN THE LAST ELECTION. I VOTED FOR OBAMA. SO I GO BOTH WAYS. I GO BY THE CANDIDATE AND WILL GO BY THE PARTY.

OTHERS ADMIT THIS GO ROUND. THEY FEEL COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT. IT’S A HEADACHE, TO BE HONEST. IT’S CRAZY. YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THE STUFF ON TV AND IT’S JUST SO YOU JUST OVER KIND OF, I GUESS. NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS WE TALKED TO HAD MANY REASONS FOR WHY THEY WERE GOING TO TURN OUT

TODAY, INCLUDING TO VOTE AGAINST A CANDIDATE. I’M AN INDEPENDENT GOING ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET SO I CAN VOTE FOR NIKKI HALEY. AND WHY NIKKI HALEY? BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP I DO NOT WANT IN THE OFFICE. >> AND ABC’S EVA PILGRIM JOINS ME LIVE NOW FROM A POLLING LOCATION IN LONDONDERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

>> EVEN. WHAT ARE THE DECIDING FACTORS FOR THE VOTERS? YOU’VE SPOKEN, DIANE. YOU HEARD THAT WOMAN RIGHT THERE AT THE END OF THE PIECE. A LOT OF THIS COMES DOWN TO THE CANDIDATES NOW THAT IT’S A TWO PERSON RACE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. PEOPLE REALLY SPLIT OUT. THOSE WHO SUPPORT DONALD

TRUMP AND THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE DECIDING TO TURN OUT TO VOTE ARE SUPPORTING NIKKI HALEY. WE REALLY HAVE WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE TURNOUT LOOKS LIKE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FROM DEMOCRATIC VOTERS SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN’S NOT ON THE BALLOT. >> SO WE TALKED TO A LOT OF THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS YESTERDAY

IN OUR LITTLE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT POLL THAT WE WERE DOING, AND THEY DON’T SEEM TO THINK MUCH OF THIS AT ALL. THEY’RE WRITING IN JOE BIDEN’S NAME. THEY DO THINK IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY SHOW UP TODAY AND TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY BECAUSE THERE’S OTHER RACES THAT THEY’RE ALSO

CONCERNED ABOUT. DIANE. ALL RIGHT, EVA PILGRIM IN LONDONDERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE, THANKS EVEN. AND ABC NEWS SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT IS IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WITH MORE. RACHEL, YOU ASKED NIKKI HALEY DIRECTLY ABOUT THESE NEW POLLS SHOWING THAT FORMER PRESIDENT IS WIDENING HIS LEAD. >> HOW SHE RESPONDING TO THAT?

>> SHE’S LARGELY DISMISSING THESE NEW POLLS AND FOR ONE GOOD REASON HERE. >> SHE KNOWS THE STRENGTH OF THE INDEPENDENT VOTE HERE, NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> YES, YOU HAD THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAVE THAT LANDSLIDE VICTORY OVER IN IOWA. BUT SHE’S REALLY BETTING ON INDEPENDENTS TO TURN OUT FOR HER, THE SO-CALLED UNDECLARED

VOTERS WHO ARE READY TO MOVE ON FROM FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. AND WE’VE CERTAINLY TALKED TO A NUMBER OF THEM IN THIS STATE. THE BIG QUESTION HANGING OVER ALL OF THIS, THAT ENOUGH TO CHIP AWAY AT DONALD TRUMP’S LEAD IN THIS STATE BECAUSE HALEY IS BEHIND DOUBLE DIGITS

AND THAT’S THAT TRUMP HAS BEEN STEPPING UP ATTACKS AGAINST HALEY. HE RECENTLY FALSELY SUGGESTED THAT SHE’S INELIGIBLE RUN BECAUSE HER PARENTS WEREN’T CITIZENS WHEN SHE WAS BORN. HE ALSO MISSPELLED HER BIRTH NAME A FEW TIMES. HOW SIGNIFICANT ARE THESE COMMENTS BY TRUMP, AND HOW IS HALEY REACTING TO THAT? THESE COMMENTS ARE EXTREMELY

SIGNIFICANT, AND ALL OF THIS ECHOES A LOT OF THE BIRTHER RACIST CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT PUSHED AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. WE ARE SEEING HIM DO THE SAME EXACT THING RIGHT? AGAIN, THIS IS STRAIGHT OUT OF HIS CAMPAIGN PLAYBOOK. HALEY, I HER DIRECTLY ABOUT THESE COMMENTS FROM

THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND SHE SAID THIS IS ALL JUST SORT OF PROOF THAT SHE IS GIVING TO HIM, REPEATS THAT SHE KNOWS DONALD TRUMP WELL. OF COURSE, SHE SERVED AS HIS U.N. DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION. AND SHE SAYS AT THE TIME HE GOT HER TOP, HE HAD NOTHING BUT HIGH PRAISE FOR HER.

BUT NOW THAT SHE’S CONSIDERED A THREAT, YOU COULD SEE THE FORMER PRESIDENT GOING AFTER HER EVEN MORE. HALEY, FOR HER PART, SEEMS TO BE BRUSHING IT ALL OFF, SAYING THAT IT’S PROOF THAT SHE’S HAD THE MOMENTUM AND IS GAINING IN THIS RACE. SO, RACHEL, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR TODAY?

WELL, I HATE TO BE, YOU KNOW, THE CLICHE REPORTER OUT HERE WHEN I SAY IT ALL COMES DOWN TO TURNOUT, BUT IN SO MANY WAYS, IT DOESN’T LOOK AT US. WE ARE HERE NOW WITH THIS POLLING LOCATION HERE IN BEDFORD. YOU CAN SEE THE LINE HERE STARTING TO BUILD.

WE WERE HERE REALLY EARLY THIS MORNING. A HUNDRED PEOPLE WERE LINED UP BEFORE THE POLLS EVEN OPENED HERE AT 7 A.M. BY 8 A.M., I WAS TOLD THAT OVER 500 PEOPLE HAD ALREADY VOTED IN THIS LOCATION. AND SO THAT’S WHAT IT’S REALLY GOING TO COME DOWN TO AT THE END OF THE DAY.

WE TALKED ABOUT HOW IOWA HAD THAT HISTORICALLY LOW TURNOUT. I WILL TELL YOU FROM TALKING TO VOTERS HERE THAT ARE GETTING READY TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS, THEY UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT OF THIS RACE. BUT ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE PREVIOUS CYCLES, YOU’VE HAD MULTIPLE CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT. NOW, THIS IS DOWN TO A

TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY. AND SHE IS THE LAST SITTING AWAY BETWEEN HIM AND THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION GAME. >> ALL RACHEL SCOTT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR US. THANKS, RACHEL. >> COMING UP, NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY VOTING IS UNDERWAY WITHOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN ON THE BALLOT WHERE HE AND VICE

PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE PLANNING A MAJOR CAMPAIGN EVENT INSTEAD. ALSO AHEAD, THE NOMINEES ARE WE ARE BREAKING DOWN THIS MORNING’S OSCAR NOMINATIONS.

ROBERT DOLE COME SECOND. JACK KEMP IS A FAIRLY CONVINCING THIRD, MOVING UP HIGHER THAN THE POLLS HAD ANTICIPATED. >> HE WOULD BE. >> PETER PAN DOESN’T DO VERY WELL AT ALL, BUT SAYS HE WILL STAY IN THE RACE AND GO DOWN SOUTH. PAT ROBERTSON COMES FIFTH, A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR HIM AS HE

SAYS THE SOUTH IS GROUND ON WHICH HE WOULD RATHER COMPETE. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATS NOW. THE DEMOCRATS ARE MUCH MORE PREDICTABLE. MICHAEL DUKAKIS, THE GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS, DOES JUST ABOUT AS WELL AS THE POLLS SAID HE WOULD. AND AS WELL AS HE EXPECTED. RICHARD GEPHARDT COMES

IN SECOND AFTER FIGHTING IT OUT WITH PAUL SIMON. THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR PAUL SIMON NOW TO GO OUT AND RAISE MONEY. BUT HE SAYS HE WILL GO ON TO THE SOUTH. RICHARD CERTAINLY WILL. JESSE JACKSON HAS DONE BETTER HERE THAN HE DID FOUR YEARS AGO. AL GORE DIDN’T CAMPAIGN VERY

SERIOUSLY, AND HE’S WAITING FOR ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN THE SOUTH. BRUCE BABBITT WILL LIKELY DROP OUT OF THIS RACE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST, GARY HART, WHO SAID LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE. >> PEOPLE DECIDED HE CAME IN ABSOLUTELY LAST.

THAT WAS ABC’S PETER JENNINGS ANNOUNCING THE RESULTS OF THE 1988 NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY. REPUBLICAN H.W. BUSH AND DEMOCRAT MICHAEL DUKAKIS WOULD GO ON TO WIN THEIR RESPECTIVE NOMINATIONS THAT YEAR, AND BUSH WOULD LATER BE ELECTED. THE 41ST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE GOING TO THE POLLS

RIGHT NOW IN TODAY’S FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY. LET’S BRING IN THE CHAIR OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY, CHRIS AGAR, FOR MORE. CHRIS, THANKS FOR COMING ON. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS RACE? COULD THIS RACE EFFECTIVELY BE OVER AFTER TODAY OR DO YOU THINK THIS IS GOING FOR THE LONG HAUL?

>> WELL, IF PRESIDENT TRUMP BY DOUBLE DIGITS, I THINK THE HALEY CAMPAIGN WOULD HAVE REASSESS BECAUSE NEW HAMPSHIRE IS A VERY FAVORABLE PLACE FOR NIKKI HALEY. SO IF SHE CAN’T WIN HERE OR GET VERY CLOSE I THINK IT’LL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR HER TO WIN IT IN THE LONG RUN.

SO I THINK SHE’D HAVE TO REASSESS AGAIN. >> DIGITS TRUMP. I THINK IT’S ALL OVER. DIXVILLE NOTCH WAS THE ONLY POLLING LOCATION OPEN FOR MIDNIGHT VOTING. NIKKI HALEY WON UNANIMOUSLY. THERE IT WAS ONLY SIX VOTES. BUT HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT TRADITION AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE OTHER HISTORIC MIDNIGHT

VOTING LOCATIONS OPTING OUT THIS YEAR? >> WELL, HAS ABOUT 75 VOTERS AND THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN DO THE MIDNIGHT VOTING AND ANNOUNCE IT IS IF 100% OF THE VOTERS VOTE. SO I’M NOT SURE THAT THEY OPTED OUT WILLINGLY. THEY JUST MAY NOT HAVE HAD ALL OF THE VOTERS AVAILABLE.

BUT I THINK IT’S A GREAT TRADITION. I MEAN, I STAYED AND WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT. I KNOW SOME OF THOSE SIX PEOPLE AND. I DO KNOW THAT THE HALEY CAMPAIGN DID GO TO THE SENATE TO REACH OUT AND CAMPAIGN FOR THOSE FOLKS. AND SO THAT’S THAT’S JUST GREAT RETAIL, GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNING.

BUT AGAIN, ONLY SIX VOTES. BUT IT’S A GREAT TRADITION AND WE LOVE IT. HOW DO YOU THINK RON DESANTIS DROPPING OUT COULD INFLUENCE THE RACE TODAY? SO I THINK THE SAFEST VOTERS HAVE SPLIT. SOME OF THEM ARE VERY CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE THE POLICIES THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH

GOVERNOR DESANTIS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT TO BE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. SO I THINK THAT SPLIT MAYBE ONE THIRD AND GO TRUMP ONE THIRD AND ONE THIRD BASE, STAY HOME OR FILL IN RON DESANTIS BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY LOYAL TO HIM PERSONALLY. SO I THINK IT’S A MIXED BAG.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR? THE RESULTS START COMING IN TONIGHT. SO THE FIRST RESULTS THAT WE’RE GOING TO LOOK FOR, SOME OF THE SMALL TOWNS IN HILLSBORO AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTY THERE, THE SUBURBAN BEDROOM COMMUNITIES THAT REPRESENT THE ENTIRE ELECTORATE. SO IF THEY GO ONE WAY OR

THE OTHER, WE’LL GET A VERY, VERY GOOD INDICATION. AND THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IS SPLIT FROM, THE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY, THE TWO SEPARATE PRIMARIES. SO WE DON’T HAVE TO WAIT, THE WRITERS, FOR JOE BIDEN TO COME IN BEFORE WE ANNOUNCE THE REPUBLICAN RACE. SO I’D SAY ABOUT 815 TO 830,

WE’LL GET A VERY GOOD INDICATION OF WHAT’S HAPPENING. >> AND, CHRIS, UNLIKE THE IOWA CAUCUSES, INDEPENDENT VOTERS CAN VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY TODAY. HOW MUCH OF A ROLE DO YOU THINK THEY’LL PLAY IN THE OUTCOME? >> SO WE’VE HAD THAT RULE PLACE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. AND I THINK HAVING

THE UNDECLARED TO BE ABLE TO SELECT EITHER BALLOT GIVES A GOOD REPRESENTATION FOR THE WINNING CANDIDATE THAT THEY APPEAL TO A BROAD SPECTRUM OF THE ELECTORATE, WHICH I THINK IS WHY NEW HAMPSHIRE IS KIND OF A BELLWETHER FOR THE EVENTUAL NOMINEE. WE REPRESENT, AGAIN, A VERY BROAD SPECTRUM FROM MODERATE

REPUBLICANS ALL THE WAY TO, YOU KNOW, VERY CONSERVATIVE. SO WE’VE GOT TO APPEAL TO THAT ENTIRE BROAD SPECTRUM. I THINK THAT’S A GOOD THING FOR THE PARTY AND THAT’S A GOOD THING FOR DEMOCRACY. >> ALL RIGHT. NEW HAMPSHIRE CHAIR CHRIS AGAR. CHRIS, THANKS FOR COMING ON. ALL RIGHT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA ARE TEAMING UP TO CAMPAIGN FOR ABORTION RIGHTS IN VIRGINIA. HARRIS WAS IN WISCONSIN YESTERDAY TO MARK WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 51ST ANNIVERSARY

OF ROE VERSUS WADE. THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED THE LANDMARK DECISION NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO. ABC’S POLITICAL DIRECTOR KHALID JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. ASMA, ABORTION ARE A TOP ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATS IN THIS ELECTION. SO WHAT’S THE ADMINISTRATION MESSAGING TODAY? >> ESSENTIALLY, THEIR MESSAGE IS THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, PARTICULARLY EXTREME

OF REPUBLICANS, WOULD PUT FORTH A NATIONAL BAN AND WOULD TRY TO FURTHER RESTRICT ABORTION RIGHTS EVER SINCE THAT DAD’S DECISION CAME DOWN IN 2022. THEY HAVE FUNDAMENTALLY BEEN TRYING TO ARGUE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT ABORTION AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, BUT THAT THIS IS A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.

AND THAT MESSAGE IS CENTRAL TO HOW JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS INTEND TO CAMPAIGN AHEAD OF 2024. >> NOW, SINCE THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION AT, LEAST 16 STATES HAVE SEIZED NEARLY ALL ABORTION SERVICES AND JUST THE WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCED SOME NEW STEPS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION, ABORTION, MEDICATION

AND EMERGENCY ABORTION CARE. SO WHAT ARE LEARNING ABOUT THAT INITIATIVE? >> YOU KNOW, DAN, REALLY, THESE ARE SORT OF EFFORTS ON THE MARGINS. I THINK THERE’S A RECOGNITION EVEN FROM THE REALISTS WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THAT THERE IS FUNDAMENTALLY LIMITED THAT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH CAN UNILATERALLY TAKE IN THIS MOMENT.

AND IT’S WHY YOU HEARD PRESIDENT BIDEN YESTERDAY CALL AGAIN ON LAWMAKERS TO WORK TO TRY TO CODIFY ROE VERSUS WADE AND PUT THOSE ABORTION PROTECTIONS INTO LAW. OF COURSE, THAT IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN GIVEN THE CURRENT MAKEUP OF CONGRESS. BUT WHAT THIS WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT IF THERE IS BIDEN IN THE

WHITE HOUSE, HE WILL ENSURE THAT AT A MINIMUM NO NATIONAL BAN IS PUT FORTH THAT SOME REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS HAVE SUGGESTED THEY WANT. LOOK, I MEAN, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, THE WHITE HAS TRIED TO ENSURE THAT CONTRACEPTION REMAINS AVAILABLE, THAT IN SOME CASES WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO CROSS STATE LINES WITHOUT

PENALTY TO RECEIVE AN ABORTION. BUT THESE ARE ALL REALLY EFFORTS ON THE MARGIN. AS YOU SAY, A NUMBER OF STATE OF STATES HAVE NOW INSTITUTED FURTHER RESTRICTIONS SINCE SINCE THAT 2022 SUPREME COURT DECISION. HOW CRITICAL IS THIS ISSUE AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF BIDEN? HARRIS HOLDING THIS EVENT

ON THE DAY OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY? >> I THAT IS EXTREMELY POIGNANT. NOT AN ACCIDENT BY ANY I MEAN, DEMOCRATS THAT I SPEAK WITH ARE VERY CLEAR EYED ABOUT THE POLICY ISSUE THAT HAS BROUGHT DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OUT TO THE CONSISTENTLY SINCE THAT 2022 DECISION HAS BEEN ABORTION.

IF YOU LOOK AT EVERY STATE WHERE THE ISSUE OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS HAS BEEN PUT DIRECTLY TO VOTERS SINCE THE DADS DECISION, WHEN THAT HAS GONE DIRECTLY TO VOTERS VOTERS, HAVE OVERWHELMINGLY CHOSEN TO EXPAND OR PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS. THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT DEMOCRATS WILL NECESSARILY WIN ALL THOSE STATES IN ALL THOSE RACES.

BUT THIS WHITE HOUSE AND DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVES SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT ABORTION IS PERHAPS THE MOST COMPELLING ISSUE TO GALVANIZE VOTERS AHEAD OF 2024. AND YOU’VE EVEN HEARD SOME DEMOCRATIC ALLIES SUGGEST THAT THEY WANT TO SEE THE PRESIDENT DIRECTLY HIMSELF, SPEAK MORE BLUNTLY ABOUT ABORTION. >> AND THAT’S WHY WE’RE GOING

TO SEE HIM TODAY. ALL RIGHT, NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR ASMA KHALID. THANK YOU, ASMA. MY PLEASURE. COMING UP, MORE REACTION TO THIS MORNING’S OSCAR NOMINATIONS. GOT THE SNUBS AND THE SURPRISES . >> THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE WITH THE FAMILIES HERE IN POLAND AT REFUGEE CENTERS IN PUTIN’S RUSSIA ON THE GROUND

STEAMBOAT, COLORADO, WHERE THE AVALANCHE DANGER REMAINS HIGH BECAUSE OF THIS. IT CONTINUES TO SNOW HERE. YOU’RE SEEING THE ABC LIVE. WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE FOR US. THE NOMINEES FOR THE 96TH ACADEMY AWARDS ARE IN. OPPENHEIMER LEADS THE PACK WITH 13 NOMINATIONS WITH FOUR THINGS RIGHT BEHIND WITH 11 NOMINATIONS.

ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR KAYNA WHITWORTH IS COVERING IT ALL FOR US IN LOS ANGELES, ALONG WITH VARIETY’S SENIOR AWARDS EDITOR CLAYTON DAVIS. AND ABC’S CHRIS CONNELLY IN NEW YORK. WHAT A BIGGEST SURPRISE THIS FROM THESE NOMINATIONS. I’M GOING TO START WITH GOOD SURPRISE. >> HOW ABOUT THAT?

BECAUSE I THINK THERE’S A LOT OF SNUBS THAT WE’LL HAVE TO GO OVER HERE IN A MOMENT. SO I’M GOING TO START WITH A GOOD SURPRISE. AND I GUESS SURPRISE IS AMERICA FERRERA. SHE IS A BRIGHT SPOT FOR BARBIE RIGHT NOW IN AN OTHERWISE DISAPPOINTING MORNING . AND SO SHE IS GETTING

A NOMINATION FOR ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE. I THINK THAT SURPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND IN FACT, THAT CATEGORY IS TO ME THIS MORNING BECAUSE DANIELLE BROOKS ALSO GETTING A NOMINATION THERE FOR THE COLOR PURPLE. >> AND THAT MAY BE THE ONLY NOMINATION THAT WE SEE FOR THAT MOVIE, ALTHOUGH IN THAT

CATEGORY, BEST ACTRESS DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH REALLY, I THINK, HAS THAT LOCKED UP FOR THE HOLDOVERS. BUT ALSO I WHEN WE LOOK AT LEAD ACTRESS, THERE’S SOME HISTORY BEING MADE NOT JUST IN THESE NOMINATIONS, WHICH I THINK IS FASCINATING. LILY GLADSTONE BECOMES THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN TO BE NOMINATED THAT CATEGORY.

AND THEN ALSO EMMA STONE NOW BECOMES THE SECOND WOMAN TO BE NOMINATED FOR ACTING AND BEST PICTURE FOR THE SAME FILM. FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF FRANCES MCDORMAND, NOTABLY LEFT OUT OF THAT CATEGORY IS MARGOT ROBBIE THIS MORNING. >> ALL RIGHT, SO CLAYTON, LET’S TALK THE LEAD ACTOR AND ACTRESS CATEGORIES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE NOMINEES? >> WELL, I LOVE OUR LEAD ACTOR CATEGORY. WE REALLY VERY TIGHT CATEGORY TO GET ALL THESE GREAT PERFORMANCES THAT WE HAVE THIS YEAR. BUT WE HAVE COLMAN DOMINGO THERE FOR RUSTIN. IT IS. HE IS THE FIRST OPENLY LGBTQ PERSON TO BE NOMINATED FOR

LGBTQ CHARACTER ALONG JODIE FOSTER IN SUPPORTING ACTRESS FOR NIGHT. SO THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT FOR LGBTQ REPRESENTATION AT THE ACADEMY. ALSO COLMAN DOMINGO. FIRST, AFRO-LATINO NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTOR AND ALSO JUST THE SECOND TIME IN HISTORY THAT WE HAVE TWO BLACK MEN NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTOR DOMINGO AND JEFFREY WRIGHT.

BUT NEITHER OF THEM WAS IT DENZEL WASHINGTON OR WILL SMITH ,SHOWING THAT WE HAVE MORE TALENT IN THIS WORLD, THAT WE HAVE IN HOLLYWOOD AND I LOVE BRADLEY COOPER’S NOMINATION. >> THIS IS NOW HIS 10TH, 11TH AND 12TH NOMINATION CAREER, STILL HASN’T WON AN OSCAR. AND THEN WE HAVE PAUL GIAMATTI

THERE FOR THE HOLDOVERS AND A GUY THAT EVERYONE LOVES, NO ONE TO BE UPSET IF PAUL GIAMATTI AN OSCAR. WAY OVERDUE FOR ONE, IS ACTUALLY A REALLY GREAT MOMENT TO HEAR HIS NAME CALLED THAT KIND OF YOU CAN’T GO WRONG TYPE CATEGORY. >> YEAH CHRIS MENTIONED MARGOT ROBBIE NOT GETTING THE LOOK FOR

LEAD ACTRESS. >> ANY OTHER MAJOR SNUBS STICK OUT TO YOU. WELL, I THINK THERE’S ENOUGH BEER FOR EVERYBODY IN THIS PARTICULAR AWARDS ROUND HERE. >> YOU SAW LEONARDO DICAPRIO NOT GET NOMINATED. I WANTED TO SEE ANDREW SCOTT GET NOMINATED FOR ACTOR. THAT’S SIGNIFICANT. GRETA GERWIG AND ALEXANDER PAYNE EACH GETTING PAST OVER

IN BEST DIRECTOR. BUT THEIR MOVIES DID REALLY WELL. YOU’D HAVE TO SAY JUSTIN TREE IS THE ONLY WOMAN NOMINATED IN BEST DIRECTOR AS RESULT, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THREE BEST PICTURE NOMINEES ARE EACH NOMINATED BY A GROUP OR EACH DIRECTED BY A WOMAN. AND THAT’S A FIRST.

SO WHILE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SNUBS HERE AND THERE, I DON’T THINK HAD THAT BAD A MORNING EIGHT NOMINATIONS IN ALL. YOU KNOW, RYAN IS IN THERE TO BEST SONG NOMINATIONS. THAT FILM IS STILL WELL FOR THE FANS THAT LOVE IT. >> I THINK SO. AND HOW IS THAT RACE FOR BEST

PICTURE? WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, OPPENHEIMER HAD A HUGE MORNING WITH THOSE NOMINATIONS. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVING THAT. BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, POOR THINGS REALLY COMING IN HERE WITH 11 AND THEN KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON WITH TEN. BUT I TELL YOU WHAT, I THINK

YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR. AMERICAN FICTION AS WE MOVE FORWARD HERE. I THINK CLAYTON AGREES, YOU SHOULD SEE HIS FACE. >> HOWEVER YOU LISTEN. IT IS SUCH A IT’S SUCH A GREAT MOVIE AND IT’S A COMEDY AGAIN, MAKING IT. AND AT THE OSCARS, GREAT.

SEE THE CORD JEFFERSON. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS HIS FIRST MOVIE. HE’S AN INCREDIBLE FILMMAKER, CREDIBLE SCREENWRITER. BUT I’M INTERESTED HERE WITH KILLERS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE GOT TEN NOMINATIONS. MARTIN SCORSESE, HIS LAST WEEKEND, RECEIVED TEN NOMINATIONS. THE IRISHMAN AND GANGS OF NEW YORK BOTH WENT HOME EMPTY HANDED. I DON’T LIKE THAT NUMBER.

I THINK LILY GLADSTONE IN THE IN THE RUNNING IN THINGS ALSO NOT IN THE RUNNING FOR A LOT OF OSCARS AT THE MOMENT BUT THERE IS TWO MOVIES IN HISTORY THAT LOST 11 OSCARS ,THE COLOR PURPLE AND THE TURNING POINT. SO I’M INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT AND HOW MANY

FILMS WILL ACTUALLY WIN OSCARS . SO THIS LOOKS LIKE AN OPPENHEIMER NIGHT. NONETHELESS, IT MIGHT WIN LIKE OF 910 OSCARS. I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE A SUPER CLASSIC. GET THE STATS CLAYTON GET PREPARED. YOU LOOK BACK IN HISTORY HERE, CHRIS, I KNOW YOU SPOKE TO SOME OF THE NOMINEES.

>> HOW ARE THEY REACTING? WELL, BILLIE EILISH AND FINNEAS WERE OVER THE MOON. BILLIE EILISH WAS STILL IN BED, I THINK, WITH THE COVERS PULLED UP OVER HER HEAD AS SHE LEARNED THAT SHE’D BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR FOR THE SECOND TIME. AND WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY SONG.

I MEAN, A SONG THAT REALLY CAPTURES THE FULL END OF BARBIE’S EMOTIONAL JOURNEY. >> I GUESS. SO INTIMATE. SO PERSONAL AND YET TOUCHING ON A DOLL THAT MEANT SO MUCH IN PEOPLE’S LIVES. SO FASCINATING IN SO MANY WAYS. SHE WAS THRILLED AND SO SEE, JEFFREY, RIGHT. THAT’S BEEN A PHENOMENAL CAREER

FOR HIM AS AS CLAYTON WAS SORT OF ALLUDING TO. AND IT’S AMAZING THAT HE GETS HIS FIRST BEST ACTOR NOMINATION FOR AMERICAN FICTION. >> SO THAT’S EXCITING. AND THEN DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH, MY GOODNESS. SO FAVORITE PROBABLY IN THAT BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS CATEGORY. SHE’D JUST GOTTEN OFF A PLANE FROM PARIS.

>> THAT’S THE WAY YOU WANT TO PASS THROUGH CUSTOMS, I’D SAY. YEAH. YEAH. MAYBE THE ONLY TIME SOMEONE WAS SMILING WHILE DOING THAT ABC IS CHRIS CONNOLLY, ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR KAYNA WHITWORTH AND SENIOR AWARDS EDITOR AT “VARIETY” CLAYTON DAVIS. THANK YOU ALL AND BE SURE TO CATCH THE 96TH ACADEMY

U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY ARE GOING HEAD TO HEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. HOW THEY’RE MAKING THEIR FINAL PUSH AND WHERE HALEY’S ALREADY CLAIMING VICTORY. A MONSTER WAVE HIT A U.S. MILITARY BASE, SENDING CRASHING THROUGH DOORS AND SHATTERING WINDOWS. HOW IT HAPPENED AND, WHAT WITNESSES ARE SAYING NOW

AND THE FLOOD EMERGENCY IN SAN DIEGO. DOZENS HAVE BEEN RESCUED AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN. THE CITY IN JUST 3 HOURS. MEANWHILE, SNOW AND ICE HIT THE HEARTLAND. THIS FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. 14 STATES ARE ON ALERT THIS MORNING FROM KANSAS TO MASSACHUSETTS.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT? THE NOMINEES ARE, BARBIE OPPENHEIMER WRITTEN FOR THE SCREEN BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON. >> THE BIG SURPRISES AND SNUBS FROM THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS. WE’LL GET REACTIONS AND PREDICTIONS FROM INDUSTRY INSIDERS. PLUS, WHO COULD MAKE HISTORY ON HOLLYWOOD’S GOLDEN NIGHT?

WE BEGIN WITH THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. A TWO PERSON RACE BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY. HALEY ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE. ABC NEWS SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHAEL SCOTT STARTS US OFF FROM BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

>> VOTERS HEADING TO THE POLLS FOR THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY, WHICH COULD HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN THE BATTLE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. >> EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO CAST THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT VOTE.

IT’S NOW DOWN TO A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY, THE FORMER PRESIDENT LOOKING TO CLOSE OUT THE PRIMARY QUICKLY WITH A DECISIVE VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. WE STARTED OFF WITH 13 AND NOW WE’RE DOWN TO TWO PEOPLE AND. I THINK ONE PERSON WILL BE GONE PROBABLY TOMORROW.

FRESH OFF TRUMP’S WIN IN IOWA. HIS FORMER RIVALS LINING UP BEHIND HIM, ONE BY ONE. >> WE NEED DONALD TRUMP. AMERICA NEEDS DONALD TRUMP. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, VOTE TWICE, IF YOU WANT FOUR MORE YEARS OF DONALD, LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM. >> HE HAS CAMPAIGNS HERE

FAR MORE THAN TRUMP HOLDING 81 EVENTS. THE FORMER PRESIDENT, JUST 17, BUT SHE’S STILL TRAILING HIM BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN THE FINAL HOURS, BLITZING HER MISTY, LOOKING TO PULL OFF A MAJOR UPSET. >> THESE, PLEASE. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH. WE’VE GOT TO. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE RUSSIAN

MEDIA GOING ON ABOUT HALEY. SHE’S THE LAST HOPE OF STOPPING A BIDEN TRUMP REMATCH. YOU WANT MORE OF THE SAME OR DO YOU WANT TO GO FORWARD HOPING TO WIN INDEPENDENT VOTERS LIKE DEBORAH BIRX WOULD BE IN CONCORD. IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE NIKKI . WHY, NIKKI?

BECAUSE I THINK IT’S TIME FOR A BIG CHANGE. THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR RAMPING UP HER ATTACKS ,TELLING VOTERS TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN ARE JUST TOO OLD FOR THE JOB. >> ARE WE REALLY GOING TO SAY THAT WE’RE OKAY WITH HAVING OUR OPTIONS BE TO 80 YEAR OLDS

AT ONE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TELLING HIS SUPPORTERS HALEY WOULDN’T STAND A CHANCE IN NOVEMBER. >> SO IF YOU WANT A CANDIDATE WHO PUTS AMERICA LAST VOTE FOR NIKKI HALEY. BUT IF YOU WANT A PRESIDENT WHO PUTS AMERICA FIRST EVERY SINGLE TIME, YOU’RE GOING TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP AND

YOU HAVE TO GET OUT. >> DIANE AND THE POLLS HAVE BEEN BUSY. WE WERE TOLD OVER 100 PEOPLE WERE WAITING IN LINE BEFORE THE EVEN OPENED HERE IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> YOU REALLY GET THE SENSE TO PEOPLE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND JUST HOW CONSEQUENTIAL THEIR VOTE IS BECAUSE.

UNLIKE IN PREVIOUS CYCLES, THIS IS REALLY NOW JUST A TWO PERSON RACE. WITH NIKKI HALEY, THE ONLY CANDIDATE STANDING IN THE WAY OF DONALD TRUMP TAKING THIS NOMINATION, DIANE SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL RACHEL SCOTT. THANK YOU. AND LET’S GO TO ABC’S ZOHREEN SHAH AT POLLING LOCATION IN BEDFORD AND ABC NEWS DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR

AVERI HARPER IN MANCHESTER. GOOD MORNING TO YOU BOTH. SO WHAT ARE VOTERS THERE TELLING YOU? HEY, DAN, WE’VE BEEN SPEAKING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE TODAY. WE’RE AT THE BEDFORD CENTER HERE IN BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING HERE, IN FACT, BEFORE DOORS EVEN OPEN THIS MORNING.

THERE WERE OVER HUNDRED PEOPLE OUTSIDE AND EVEN RIGHT IN RIGHT NOW SEE THIS AREA WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VOTING. ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO JUST VOTED IS SUSAN OVER HERE. AND SUSAN, I KNOW YOU’RE NOT COMFORTABLE SAYING WHO YOU VOTED FOR, BUT WHICH BALLOT DID YOU VOTE INCLUDED? THAT WOULD BE THE

REPUBLICAN BALLOT. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WHO YOU VOTED FOR AND THE WAY EVERYTHING’S DONE SO FAR. I THE WHOLE PROCESS THIS TIME AROUND IS FRUSTRATING. FRUSTRATING WHAT? WELL, YOU HAVE THE TWO CANDIDATES WHO THIS IS NOT THEIR FIRST GO ROUND. SO THERE’S IT’S THE SAME OLD, SAME TWO CANDIDATES.

THIS IS SOMETHING WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT TRUMP AND BIDEN, ESSENTIALLY WHAT, YOU FEEL YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT IT’S GOING TO COME DOWN TO I FEEL LIKE THAT. YEAH. YEAH. AND LIKE I SAID, I THINK IT’S FRUSTRATING FOR AMERICA. >> AND YOU SAY IT’S NOT THEIR FIRST TIME GOING RIGHT. WHAT IS YOUR FRUSTRATION,

THE FACT THAT THIS IS BIDEN’S NOW FOURTH TIME RUNNING, TRUMP’S THIRD TIME RUNNING, ALWAYS THE FACT THAT THEY’RE JUST A LOT OLDER. I THINK IT’S I THINK IT’S BETTER. AND I THINK IT’S NOT ONLY THEIR AGE, BUT IT’S ALSO IT’S KIND OF LIKE BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.

THEY TRY TO, YOU KNOW, CHANGE YOUR TACTICS A LITTLE BIT. BUT BASICALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO, IT’S SAME THING. JUST GOT IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. >> LIKE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE STATE JUST FEEL YOUR FRUSTRATION. YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING TO YOU FOR VOTING THIS MORNING.

THANK YOU, DIANE REED. THANK YOU, HALEY. I WANT TO GO TO YOU BECAUSE HAYLEY’S ALREADY WON DIXVILLE NOTCH, NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY, THE MIDNIGHT VOTE THERE. BUT THAT’S ONLY SIX VOTERS. >> SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR? TO GET A OF THE LAND? >> AND HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT TRADITION? >> RIGHT.

I THINK IT’S A FUN TRADITION. LIKE YOU MENTIONED, IT’S ONLY SIX VOTERS AND IT’S A VERY SMALL AREA. THERE’S LOTS VOTES TO COUNT LATER ON TODAY. AND I DON’T THINK IT’S NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF WHO WINS THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY. IF YOU LOOK AT 2020, MICHAEL BLOOMBERG WON IN DIXVILLE NOTCH

,AND BERNIE SANDERS IS WHO ULTIMATELY WON HERE IN 2020 FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. I THINK I’M INTERESTED TO SEE WHO FOLKS ARE VOTING FOR AND WHY. RIGHT. I’M INTERESTED IF IT’S THE PERSONALITIES OF THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE DRIVING THOSE VOTERS, THE POLLS OR HAVE SPECIFIC ISSUES.

AND WE’VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE ISSUE AROUND IMMIGRATION. WE’VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE ECONOMY. AND I THINK IT’S INTERESTING THAT THERE IS REALLY WIDE DISSATISFACTION ON BOTH SIDES, THE AISLE FOR THE NOTION OF A REMATCH BETWEEN BIDEN AND TRUMP. SO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. >> ZOHREEN SHAH AVERI HARPER

BOTH IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR US. THANK YOU. AND ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN HAS A BREAKDOWN OF THE LATEST POLLS AND HOW KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE IOWA CAUCUSES AND THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME. HI, RICK HEY, DIANE. >> YEAH, THIS IS THE LAST GLIMPSE OF POLLING THAT WE’RE

GETTING FROM OUR AT FIVETHIRTYEIGHT AND IT TELLS AN INTERESTING STORY. JUST SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, YOU’VE SEEN SOME BIG CHANGES IN THIS RACE. YOU’VE SEEN CANDIDATES COMING AND GOING, YOU’VE SEEN ENDORSEMENTS, YOU’VE SEEN AD DROPS, ALL THESE THINGS. >> AND IT’S HAD AN IMPACT IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

NIKKI HALEY, THESE NUMBERS HAVE TICKED UP A LITTLE BIT. AND IN FACT, IT LOOKED AT ONE POINT LIKE SHE COULD CHALLENGE DONALD TRUMP AND EVEN GET INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED JUST IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO. HALEY CONTINUED TO RISE, BUT TRUMP ROSE EVEN FASTER.

SO YOU COME INTO THE DAY WITH A BIG TRUMP LEAD, 15 PLUS POINTS IN OUR FIVETHIRTYEIGHT POLLING AVERAGE. BUT NEW HAMPSHIRE IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN IOWA, MOST OTHER STATES. ONE BIG DIFFERENCE. INDEPENDENTS GET TO VOTE. IT’S NOT JUST CORE REPUBLICANS. AND THIS WAS THE LAST POLLING FOR THE UNIVERSITY,

NEW HAMPSHIRE AMONG REPUBLICANS. DONALD TRUMP IS ROMPING 67%. TWO THIRDS OF REPUBLICANS ARE VOTING TRUMP AMONG UNDECLARED INDEPENDENT VOTERS, THOUGH NIKKI HALEY RUNS VERY ALMOST 30 POINTS AHEAD OF DONALD TRUMP. SO THE INDEPENDENTS THAT SHOW UP, THE BETTER IT IS FOR HALEY, THE MORE THAT THIS IS JUST ABOUT REPUBLICANS, THAT’S

BETTER FOR DONALD TRUMP. THIS IS THE KIND OF DIFFERENCE IT CAN MEAN. >> TYPICALLY, YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT A THIRD OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE INDEPENDENT, UNDECLARED VOTERS. BUT BACK IN 2012, THE LAST TIME YOU HAD AN INCUMBENT DEMOCRAT RUNNING. SO WASN’T A LOT OF REASON FOR

DEMOCRATS TO VOTE THAT YEAR. >> YOU SAW INDEPENDENTS, ALMOST HALF, 45% OF THE ELECTORATE ON THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY WERE ACTUALLY INDEPENDENTS. >> SO IF WE GET TOWARD THAT KIND OF NUMBER FOUR FOR NIKKI HALEY, SHE CAN RUN PRETTY STRONG TODAY. THAT’S WHAT SHE NEEDS. SHE MAY NEED A RECORD TURNOUT

AND THEN A RECORD SHARE AMONG THOSE INDEPENDENTS IF SHE’S GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE. AND THEN THERE’S A BIG WRINKLE . ONE OTHER WRINKLE, I SHOULD SAY, AND THIS IS ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS. SO THE LAST TIME THERE WAS A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, JOE BIDEN GOT DESTROYED, CAME IN FIFTH PLACE.

>> NOW, THIS TIME AROUND, THINGS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE ACTUALLY THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY COUNT FOR DELEGATES. JOE BIDEN ISN’T EVEN ON THE BALLOT. THAT SAID A LOT OF HIS SUPPORTERS ARE ORGANIZING A WRITE IN CAMPAIGN. AND THIS COULD ACTUALLY WHAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WITH NIKKI HALEY, BECAUSE THE MORE

DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS THAT DECIDE TO VOTE IN THAT DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, THAT COULD TAKING VOTERS AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN SIDE AND PROBABLY AWAY FROM NIKKI HALEY. SO ALL OF THESE INTER-RELATED PIECES MAKE THE TODAY JUST ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING TO WATCH, DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT. POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN, YOU. AND BE SURE TO STREAM

OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. A U.S. MILITARY BASE IS PREPARING FOR WHAT THEY CALL A MARATHON RECOVERY AFTER BEING HIT BY A GIANT WAVE. THE RUSH OF WATER IN THE MARSHALL ISLANDS TOOK OUT GLASS DOORS AND WINDOWS AND HIT

AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE. ABC’S ABC’S TREVOR AULT HAS THE DETAILS ON WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY CAUSED IT AND TERRIFYING AND DRAMATIC MOMENTS CAUGHT ON CAMERA AS AN EXTREME WAVE HITS A U.S. MILITARY BASE. ALL RIGHT, GOOD, GOOD. MOST OF THE WATER SO STRONG IT PLOWS RIGHT THROUGH THE GLASS

DOORS, TAKING TWO PEOPLE WITH IT. >> JAKE, ARE YOU OKAY? OTHERS STUNNED. CLIMBING ON TABLES AND THEN ANOTHER WAVE RUSHING IN NOW TAKING OUT THE WINDOW, PITCHING THEM INTO DARKNESS AS THE LIGHTS GO OUT. >> HAPPENED AT A MILITARY BASE IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN MARSHALL ISLANDS, A TINY NATION CONSIDERED THE FRONT LINES

OF CLIMATE CHANGE IS RISING. >> LEVELS ARE LEADING TO POWERFUL WAVES AND FLOODING. AN EXTREME WAVE IS A WAVE THAT IS MUCH LARGER THAN, SAY, THE THE AVERAGE OF THE WAVES AT A GIVEN TIME. >> IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE SETS, THEN IT’S POSSIBLE THAT THE

ENERGY CAN DOUBLE IN AREA FROM TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF WAVES. >> IS ISLAND HOUSES SOME OF THE U.S. MOST SOPHISTICATED SPACE TRACKING EQUIPMENT? THE ARMY SAYS AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF THE ISLAND WAS FLOODED AFTER A SERIES OF GIANT WAVES. MINOR INJURIES REPORTED. >> THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN

IN QUADRANTS HISTORY BOOKS AS ONE OF ITS MOST CHALLENGING TIMES EVER IN ITS 80 YEAR HISTORY. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS. >> AND WE ARE SETTLING IN FOR A MARATHON OF RECOVERY AHEAD. AND DIANE, ABOUT 80 PEOPLE HAD TO BE EVACUATED FROM THIS MILITARY BASE.

BUT THE ARMY SAYS A TEAM OF 50 PEOPLE REMAINS ON THE ISLAND. THEY’RE GOING TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE AND WORK TO RESTORE THE POWER DANIEL. >> ALL RIGHT, TREVOR AULT, THANKS FOR THAT. AN EXTREME WINTER WEATHER IS SWEEPING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SAN DIEGO IS UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY AFTER GETTING

MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN JUST 3 HOURS. MEANWHILE, ICE AND BITTER COLD ARE STRIKING PARTS OF THE HEARTLAND AS EXTREME WINTER WEATHER MOVES EACH. WATCH THIS FIRE SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. AS STATES ARE ON ALERT FOR WINTER WEATHER. METEOROLOGIST SOMARA THEODORE IS TRACKING IT ALL TOMORROW. HEY, DIANE. THAT’S RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE THE STORMS THAT BROUGHT SOME WINTRY WEATHER TO THE HEARTLAND. AND NOW AS WE START TO GET INTO THE WARMER WATER, THE STORM SYSTEM FARTHER SOUTH, WE’RE SEEING THAT SWITCH OVER TO. SO ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAIN FOR A LOT OF THE GULF COAST STATES. IT’S ALSO TAPPING SOME OF

THAT GULF COAST OR GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE TOGETHER. THAT IS EXACERBATING THE SITUATION. SO THESE ARE THE AREAS THAT HAVE THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR NOT ONLY FLOODING, BUT FLASH FLOODING. IT’S HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY. SO IF YOU LIVE IN SHREVEPORT, GOOD MORNING, ALEXANDRIA, JACKSON EVEN JUST OUTSIDE OF BIRMINGHAM, CLOSE TO HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA,

AND NORTH OF HOUSTON, BE PREPARED FOR FLASH FLOODING AS WE TO TODAY AND TOMORROW. THE WIDER SCOPE FROM WACO TO DALLAS, ALL THE WAY UP TO NASHVILLE, THERE’S A THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRING WITH THEM DAMAGING WINDS AND MAYBE EVEN A TORNADO. THAT THREAT LOOMS. SO WE’LL WATCH THAT.

NOW, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, THIS STORM SYSTEM. IT CONTINUES ITS PROGRESSION TOWARDS THE EAST AND NORTH. AND BY 8 P.M., NOTICE HOW ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE STORM, WE’RE SEEING SNOW IN STATES LIKE NEW YORK, UPSTATE, NEW SYRACUSE, PARTS OF NEW ENGLAND, AND A LITTLE BIT OF ICE WHERE THE RAIN

AND MEETS. SO WE COULD SEE A BIT OF WINTRY WEATHER FOR PARTS OF PENNSYLVANIA UNTIL THIS STORM SYSTEM MOVES OUT ON WEDNESDAY. AS A RESULT, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MULTIPLE STATES HAS PUT PARTS OF THE GREAT INTO STATES LIKE VERMONT, INTO NEW YORK UNDER SOME TYPE OF WEATHER ALERT.

WE HAVE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES BECAUSE OF THIS. WE HAVE THE THREAT FOR ICING AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. OKAY. SO THE TEMPERATURES, THAT’S THE OTHER STORY, IT’S BEEN SO COLD AND WE’VE REALLY BEEN LOOKING FOR A REPRIEVE, STARTING TO WORK OUR WAY CLOSER TO THAT.

SO A LOT OF THESE STATES AND CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FRIGID WEATHER ARE GOING TO SEE A NICE WARM UP BY THE END OF THE WEEK. MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, THURSDAY IN THE LOW SIXTIES, NEW YORK CITY, 57 ON FRIDAY. OUR NATION’S CAPITAL, 68 BY FRIDAY. FLORIDA LOOKING REAL NICE

WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE TO UPPER SEVENTIES. SOME SPOTS IN FLORIDA COULD BE AROUND DEGREES. AND FINALLY, JUST FINISHING WITH THE WEST BECAUSE WE’RE GEARING UP FOR MORE WEATHER OUT WEST, AS YOU MENTIONED THAT DAY. AND IN SAN CALIFORNIA, THEY SAW A MONTH’S WORTH OF IN JUST 3 HOURS. THAT IS SO PROLIFIC.

ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC LIVE, STREAMING FREE EVERYWHERE. AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. >> I HAVE A POINT OF CONTACT. THEY’RE EXPECTING US. IT’S OUR SECRET WORLD WE HAVE. DO YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE SAFE? I DON’T KNOW. THIS IS WHAT WE’VE BEEN SAYING ABOUT TENS OF MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIA.

THESE ARE ASSASSINATIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE MURDERED BECAUSE THEY’RE TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO. I DO NOT. IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. ANYWHERE. WOW. ALL ARE YOU READY? LET’S DO IT. YES, IT’S SHOW AMERICA WANTS AND AMERICA NEEDS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHAT WOULD YOU DO NOW

IS GO. HOW ARE YOU? YEAH. SO WHAT WILL YOU WATCHING SATURDAY IS ON ABC NEWS LIVE. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? I GUESS I JUSTT. SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO? MARATHON 2 TO 6 EASTERN EVERY SATURDAY ON ABC NEWS. >> MY MY FAVORITE SHOW. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. THE POLLS HAVE CLOSED

THROUGHOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE. NOT EVERYBODY HAS HAD A CHANCE TO VOTE TODAY. THE TURNOUT WAS CONSIDERABLE AND ABC NEWS IS NOW ABLE TO MAKE A PROJECTION ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. FACT WE PROJECTED JOHN MCCAIN, SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN IS A WINNER BY A WIDE MARGIN OVER GOVERNOR W BUSH OF TEXAS,

SENATOR OR GOVERNOR BRADLEY ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. WE’LL GET TO JUST A MINUTE. BUT TERRY MORAN IS OVER THERE AT BRADLEY HEADQUARTERS BECAUSE WE NOW PROJECTED THAT VICE PRESIDENT GORE HAS DEFEATED FORMER SENATOR BRADLEY ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. AND WE’RE GOING TO GO OVER NOW TO AL GORE HEADQUARTERS, CANDY CROWLEY, RIGHT?

THAT’S RIGHT, PETER. AND THE GORE CAMPAIGN IS VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH THIS VICTORY, NARROW, THOUGH IT MAY BE. THEY SAY THAT THIS IS A COMEBACK VICTORY FOR THEM. THEY SAY SENATOR BRADLEY WAS AHEAD IN THE POLLS, OUTSPENT THEM. THEY MADE IT TO HIS BACKYARD AND HIS KIND OF TURF.

THAT WAS ABC’S PETER JENNINGS CALLING, THE 2000 NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY FOR THE LATE SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN ON THE REPUBLICAN AND FOR FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE. ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. AND OUR VERY OWN TERRY MORAN WAS ON THE GROUND THERE COVERING COURSE WHEN GORE WENT ON TO WIN THE POPULAR VOTE,

BUT NOT THE ELECTORAL VOTE. AFTER THE SUPREME ORDERED FLORIDA COUNTY RECOUNTS TO STOP GEORGE W BUSH WENT ON TO BECOME THE NATION’S 43RD PRESIDENT. VOTERS ARE GOING TO THE POLLS RIGHT NOW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE NOW FOR THE 2024 RACE, AND WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON THE PRIMARY THERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

BUT THE 2024 OSCAR NOMINATIONS ARE NOW IN WITH OPPENHEIMER AND FOUR THINGS LEADING THE PACK. SO WHAT COULD AN OSCAR WIN MEAN ,THE ACTORS AND STUDIOS FINANCIALLY? IT’S THIS REPORT, ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THE SO-CALLED OSCAR EFFECT. SO LET’S ASK WHAT IS THIS OSCAR EFFECT AND DO YOU ACTUALLY

HAVE TO WIN TO, FEEL THE IMPACT OR IS A NOMINATION ENOUGH? THE ANSWER IS SOMETIMES RIGHT. LOOK, HOWEVER YOU SLICE IT, THE OSCARS ARE STILL THE BIGGEST PRIZE IN HOLLYWOOD . IT MEANS INSTANT CREDIBILITY FOR ACTORS AMONGST THEIR COLLEAGUES AND WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE PRESTIGE THAT COMES WITH IT

REALLY OPENS UP. SO MANY MORE OPPORTUNITIES. NOW. WINNERS CAN, YOU KNOW, GET THEIR PICK OF MOVIES, OF DIRECTORS OF OF MOVIE THAT THEY WANT TO WORK WITH. >> IT DOESN’T ALWAYS THOUGH GUARANTEE MORE MONEY TYPICALLY AN ACTOR OR ACTRESS WHO BEST ACTOR OR BEST SUPPORTING CAN SEE A BUMP UP IN SALARY

BY ABOUT 20%. BUT THERE WAS AN INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE AREN’T A LOT OF HARD NUMBERS OUT THERE ON THIS, BUT THERE WAS AN INTERESTING RESEARCH DONE THAT COLGATE UNIVERSITY WHERE THEY SAW MALE ACTORS CAN $4 MILLION MORE WITH THEIR NEXT CONTRACT VERSUS WOMEN WHO MAKE ABOUT HALF A MILLION DOLLARS MORE.

>> SO THERE’S A BIT OF A GENDER GAP THERE, LIKE TO SOME OSCAR WINNERS WHO AFTER THEY WON, YOU SAID WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? WELL, I FEEL LIKE, THOUGH, FROM THE OSCAR EFFECT SOMETIMES THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF THAT YOU DON’T HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN. EXACTLY. I NEVER.

SORVINO I’M GOING BACK NOW. BUT MIGHTY APHRODITE BACK IN THE 90S WHAT HAPPENED TO HER AFTER THAT? CUBA GOODING JR FOR JERRY MAGUIRE GAVE THAT AWESOME SPEECH AT THE OSCARS FOR BEST SUPPORTING AND THEN DIDN’T REALLY GO ON TO DO MUCH ELSE WENT TO PALTROW. SAME THING FOR SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE IN 1999.

SO IT DOESN’T ALWAYS BIGGER BETTER AFTER THE OSCARS REMEMBER THAT ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BUT I CAN BUT AGAIN WHAT ABOUT FOR THE STUDIOS AND BOX OFFICE NUMBERS? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOUR FILM IS NOMINATED IT PUTS IT BACK INTO THE FOREFRONT. THERE IS BUZZ AROUND THAT MOVIE AGAIN.

AND SO YOU MIGHT GET SOME INTEREST FROM THE PUBLIC TO GO SEEK THOSE FILMS OUT. THE DIFFERENCE COURSE NOW IS WE HAVE STREAMING. A LOT OF THESE MOVIES HAVE ALSO BEEN OUT A LONG TIME. >> THEY’RE NOW ON STREAMING SERVICES. SO INSTEAD OF GETTING THAT BOX BUMP, IT’S SHRINKING AND YOU’RE

SEEING THIS BUSINESS NOW MOVE OVER TO STREAMING. SO MAYBE SOMEBODY GETS A STREAMING SERVICE BECAUSE WANTED TO SEE PARTICULAR FILMS. YOU REMEMBER THE BANSHEES IN A SHARON LAST YEAR? YES, THEY WERE AN EXCEPTION. TICKET SALES, THEY’RE UP MORE THAN 380% FROM THE WEEK OF THE NOMINATIONS UNTIL WEEK UP TO THE OSCARS.

>> WOW. YEAH. HOW’S THAT FOR AN OSCAR EFFECT? ALL RIGHT. BUSINESS REPORT, ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS. THANK YOU. UP WE’RE BREAKING DOWN THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS AS REACTIONS POUR IN. EDGAR KAYNA WHITWORTH HAS THE NOMINEES THIS MORNING FROM THE HOLDOVERS TO THE BIG WINS. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK. >> THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE

ONE NEWS SOURCE. WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU’RE LOOKING AT MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE ON THIS PRIMARY ELECTION DAY. AND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEWS TO GET TO. HERE’S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. A STATE OF EMERGENCY IS IN EFFECT IN SAN DIEGO BECAUSE

OF MAJOR FLOODING. HUNDREDS HAVE BEEN RESCUED FROM FLOODED HOMES AND DOZENS MORE FROM THEIR CARS AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN FELL THERE IN JUST 3 HOURS. SOME PARTS OF CALIFORNIA GOT NINE INCHES OF RAIN IN THREE DAYS. MEANWHILE, A STORM IN THE MIDWEST CREATED DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN MISSOURI.

ICY ROADS SENT FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. THAT STORM STORMS NOW BRINGING RAIN AND ICE TO CHICAGO AND DETROIT. UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS, AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND ANOTHER 67 INJURED AFTER RUSSIAN STRIKES IN UKRAINE’S TWO LARGEST CITIES. RESIDENTS IN KYIV AND SAY THE STRIKES CAME EARLY IN THE

MORNING WHILE MOST WERE STILL SLEEPING. UKRAINE SAYS IT SHOT DOWN 21 OF THE 41 MISSILES THAT APPEARED TO BE TARGETING RESIDENTIAL AREAS. AND TRIBUTES ARE POURING IN FOR DEXTER’S SCOTT KING, THE YOUNGEST SON OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. THE KING CENTER DEXTER BATTLED PROSTATE CANCER AND PASSED AWAY

AT HOME ON SUNDAY. HIS OLDER BROTHER SAID IN A STATEMENT, THE SUDDEN SHOCK IS DEVASTATING. IT’S HARD TO HAVE THE RIGHT WORDS AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS. DEXTER WAS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD WHEN HIS FATHER WAS KILLED. HE CONTINUED HIS FATHER’S CIVIL RIGHTS WORK AS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NONPROFIT KING CENTER

STARTED BY HIS MOTHER, CORETTA SCOTT KING. DEXTER SCOTT WAS 62, AND JOEL EMBIID IS NOW PART OF NBA HISTORY. THE 70 SIXERS POWERFUL FORWARD SET A FRANCHISE RECORD 70 POINTS IN A WIN OVER SAN ANTONIO LAST NIGHT. HAPPY TO HAVE THE 68 POINTS THAT WILT CHAMBERLAIN SCORED

DURING A GAME IN 1967 AND BEST PERFORMANCE CAME 18 YEARS TO THE DAY AFTER KOBE BRYANT SCORED 81 POINTS AGAINST TORONTO, THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT’S A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN FORMER TRUMP AND FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY AND HALEY ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH MIDNIGHT

PRIMARY VOTE. ABC’S EVEN PILGRIM IS TALKING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS ABOUT HOW THEY ARE MAKING THEIR CHOICE IN THIS HIGH STAKES PRIMARY. >> WHY DO YOU THINK IT’S SO IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE IN THIS PRIMARY? BECAUSE THE COUNTRY IS A MESS. >> SO HAVE YOU DECIDED

WHO YOU’RE GOING TO VOTE FOR TOMORROW? YES. I FEEL LIKE IT’S IMPORTANT EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE. >> VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY ,HAVE A HISTORY OF TURNING OUT. >> WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME WHO YOU’RE PLANNING TO SUPPORT? TRUMP WHY DID YOU PAUSE WHEN YOU SAID.

>> IT IS JUST EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN OPINION. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN VIEWS ON EACH CANDIDATE. SO IT CAN GET HOSTILE AT TIMES, ACCORDING TO FIVETHIRTYEIGHT’S ANALYSIS OF RECENT POLLS, SOME OF THE TOP ISSUES FOR HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS, IMMIGRATION AND THE BORDER THE ECONOMY AND FOREIGN POLICY.

BUT WHEN YOU TALK TO VOTERS, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE CANDIDATE I’M VOTING FOR NIKKI HALEY, BECAUSE SHE JUST AS SHE’S FRESH, SHE’S YOUNG SHE’S AN ACCOUNTANT. AND I LIKE THAT SHE’S GOING TO BALANCE THE BUDGET SOME. >> VOTERS SAY THEY’RE READY FOR SOMETHING NEW. I VOTED FOR TRUMP THE LAST

ELECTION. I VOTED FOR OBAMA. SO I GO BOTH WAYS. I GO BY THE CANDIDATE AND I’M TOLD BY THE PARTY. OTHERS ADMIT THIS, GO AROUND. THEY FEEL COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT. IT’S A HEADACHE, TO BE HONEST. IT’S CRAZY. YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THE ON TV AND IT’S JUST SO YOU’RE JUST

OVER IT KIND OF I GUESS NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS WE TALKED TO HAD MANY REASONS FOR WHY THEY WERE GOING TO TURN OUT TODAY, INCLUDING TO VOTE AGAIN ,A CANDIDATE. >> I’M AN INDEPENDENT GOING ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET SO I CAN VOTE FOR NIKKI HALEY. AND WHY NIKKI HALEY?

BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP, I DO NOT WANT IN THE OFFICE. >> AND ABC’S EVA PILGRIM JOINS LIVE NOW FROM A POLLING LOCATION IN LONDONDERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE. EVEN WHAT ARE THE DECIDING FACTORS FOR THE VOTERS YOU’VE SPOKEN TO, DIANE, YOU HEARD FROM THAT WOMAN RIGHT THERE AT THE END OF THE PIECE.

A LOT OF THIS COMES DOWN TO THE CANDIDATES NOW THAT IT’S A TWO PERSON RACE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. PEOPLE ARE REALLY SPLITTING UP THOSE WHO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP AND THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE DECIDING TO TURN OUT TO VOTE ARE SUPPORTING NIKKI HALEY. WE REALLY HAVE WAIT AND SEE

WHAT THE TURNOUT LOOKS LIKE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. SO WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM DEMOCRATIC VOTERS SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN’S NOT ON THE BALLOT THERE? SO WE TALKED TO A LOT THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS YESTERDAY IN OUR LITTLE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT POLL THAT WE WERE DOING. AND THEY DON’T SEEM TO THINK

MUCH OF THIS AT ALL WRITING IN JOE BIDEN’S NAME. THEY DO THINK IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY SHOW TODAY AND TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY BECAUSE THERE’S OTHER RACES THAT ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT DIANE. ALL RIGHT, EVA PILGRIM IN LONDONDERRY NEW HAMPSHIRE, THANKS EVER. AND ABC NEWS SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT

IS IN BEDFORD, HAMPSHIRE WITH MORE. RACHEL, YOU ASKED NIKKI HALEY DIRECTLY THESE NEW POLLS SHOWING THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS WIDENING LEAD HOW SHE RESPONDING TO THAT? >> SHE’S DISMISSING THESE NEW POLLS AND FOR ONE GOOD REASON HERE. SHE KNOWS THE STRENGTH OF THE INDEPENDENT VOTE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. YES.

YOU HAD THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAVE THAT LANDSLIDE VICTORY OVER IN IOWA, BUT SHE’S REALLY BETTING ON INDEPENDENTS TO TURN OUT FOR HER, THE SO-CALLED UNDECLARED, WHO ARE READY TO MOVE ON FROM FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. AND WE’VE CERTAINLY TALKED TO A NUMBER OF THEM IN THIS STATE.

THE BIG QUESTION HANGING OVER ALL OF THIS, IS THAT ENOUGH TO CHIP AWAY AT DONALD TRUMP’S LEAD IN THE STATE BECAUSE HALEY IS BEHIND DOUBLE DIGITS AND? THAT SAID, TRUMP HAS BEEN STEPPING UP ATTACKS AGAINST HALEY. HE RECENTLY FALSELY SUGGESTED THAT SHE’S INELIGIBLE TO RUN BECAUSE HER PARENTS WEREN’T

CITIZENS WHEN SHE WAS BORN. HE ALSO MISSPELLED HER BIRTH NAME FEW TIMES. HOW SIGNIFICANT ARE THESE COMMENTS BY TRUMP AND HOW IS HALEY REACTING TO THAT? THESE COMMENTS ARE EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT, AND ALL OF THIS ECHOES A LOT OF THE BIRTHER RACIST CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT PUSHED AGAINST FORMER

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. WE ARE SEEING HIM DO THE SAME EXACT THING. RIGHT. AGAIN, THIS IS A STRAIGHT OUT OF HIS CAMPAIGN PLAYBOOK. HALEY, I ASKED HER DIRECTLY ABOUT THESE COMMENTS FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND SHE SAYS THIS IS ALL JUST SORT OF PROOF THAT SHE IS GETTING TO HIM.

SHE REPEATS THAT SHE KNOWS DONALD TRUMP WELL. OF COURSE, SHE SERVED AS HIS U.N. AMBASSADOR OR DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION, AS SHE SAYS AT THE TIME, HE CALLED HER TOP TO GET NOTHING. HIGH PRAISE FOR HER. BUT NOW THAT SHE’S CONSIDERED A THREAT, YOU COULD SEE THE FORMER PRESIDENT GOING

AFTER HER EVEN MORE. HALEY, FOR HER PART, SEEMS TO BE BRUSHING IT ALL OFF, SAYING THAT IT’S PROOF THAT SHE HAS THE MOMENTUM AND IS GAINING SPEED IN THIS RACE. >> SO, RACHEL, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR TODAY? >> WELL, I HATE TO BE, YOU KNOW, THE CLICHE OUT HERE

WHEN I SAY IT ALL COMES DOWN TO TURNOUT. BUT IN SO MANY WAYS IT DOESN’T. SO LOOK AT US. WE ARE HERE NOW WITH THIS POLLING LOCATION HERE IN DENVER. YOU CAN SEE THE LINE HERE STARTING TO BUILD. WE WERE HERE REALLY EARLY THIS MORNING. 100 PEOPLE WERE LINED UP BEFORE

THE POLLS EVEN OPENED HERE AT 7 A.M. BY 8 A.M., I WAS TOLD THAT OVER 500 PEOPLE HAD ALREADY VOTED IN THIS LOCATION. SO THAT’S WHAT IT’S REALLY GOING TO COME DOWN TO AT THE END OF THE DAY. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW IOWA HAD THE HISTORICALLY LOW TURNOUT.

I WILL TELL YOU FROM TALKING TO VOTERS HERE THAT ARE GETTING READY TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS, THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT OF THIS RACE. BUT ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE IN PREVIOUS CYCLES, YOU’VE HAD MULTIPLE CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT. NOW, THIS IS DOWN TO A PERSON RACE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY.

AND SHE IS THE LAST CANDIDATE IN THE WAY BETWEEN HIM AND THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT, RACHEL SCOTT, NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR US. THANKS, RACHEL. COMING UP NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY VOTING IS UNDERWAY WITHOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN ON THE BALLOT WHERE HE AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE PLANNING A MAJOR CAMPAIGN EVENT INSTEAD

. ALSO AHEAD, THE NOMINEES ARE. WE ARE BREAKING DOWN THIS MORNING’S OSCAR NOMINATIONS. WHO IS IN AND WHO GOT SNUBBED? >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE SO MUCH ON THE LINE, MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST. ABC NEWS, “WORLD NEWS TONIGHT” WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA’S

>> ARE WE ALONE NOW? STREAMING ON HULU. >> WE’RE WATCHING AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE SQUEEZE REPORTER WITH A NEW EXCLUSIVE SCOOP STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVES WITH ALMOST ALL OF THE VOTE IN. GEORGE BUSH GOT COMES FIRST, ROBERT DOLE COMES SECOND. JACK KEMP IS A FAIRLY CONVINCING THIRD, MOVING UP

HIGHER THAN THE POLLS, ANTICIPATING HE WOULD BE BEAT TO PART, DOESN’T DO VERY WELL AT ALL, BUT SAYS HE WILL STAY IN THE RACE AND GO DOWN SOUTH. PAT ROBERTSON COMES IN FIFTH, A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR HIM AS HE SAYS THIS IS A GROUND ON WHICH HE WOULD RATHER DO.

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATS NOW. THE DEMOCRATS MUCH MORE PREDICTABLE. MICHAEL DUKAKIS, THE GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS, DOES JUST ABOUT AS WELL AS THE POLLS SAID HE WOULD. AND ABOUT AS WELL AS HE EXPECTED. RICHARD GEPHARDT COMES IN SECOND AFTER FIGHTING IT OUT WITH PAUL SIMON. THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT

FOR PAUL SIMON. NOW GO OUT AND RAISE MONEY. BUT HE SAYS HE WILL GO ON TO THE SOUTH. RICHARD GEPHARDT CERTAINLY WILL. JESSE JACKSON HAS DONE BETTER HERE THAN HE DID FOUR YEARS AGO. AL GORE DIDN’T CAMPAIGN VERY SERIOUSLY HERE AND IS WAITING FOR ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN THE SOUTH.

BRUCE BABBITT WILL LIKELY DROP OUT OF THIS RACE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST, GARY HART, WHO SAID LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE. >> PEOPLE DECIDED HE CAME IN ABSENTEE BALLOT LAST. THAT WAS ABC’S PETER JENNINGS ANNOUNCING THE RESULTS OF THE

1988 NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY REPUBLICAN GEORGE H.W. BUSH AND DEMOCRAT MICHAEL DUKAKIS WOULD GO ON TO WIN THEIR RESPECTIVE PARTIES NOMINATIONS THAT YEAR AND BUSH WOULD LATER BE ELECTED THE 41ST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND VOTERS IN HAMPSHIRE ARE GOING TO THE POLLS RIGHT NOW IN TODAY’SIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY.

LET’S BRING IN THE CHAIR OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY, CHRIS AGAR, FOR MORE. CHRIS, THANKS FOR COMING ON. WHAT DO YOU THINK IN THIS RACE COULD THIS RACE EFFECTIVELY BE OVER AFTER TODAY OR DO YOU THINK IS GOING FOR THE LONG HAUL? >> WELL, IF PRESIDENT TRUMP WINS BY DOUBLE DIGITS.

I THINK THE HILLARY CAMPAIGN HAVE TO REASSESS BECAUSE NEW HAMPSHIRE IS A VERY FAVORABLE PLACE FOR FOR NIKKI HALEY. >> SO IF SHE CAN’T WIN HERE OR GET VERY CLOSE, I THINK IT’D BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR HER TO WIN IT IN THE LONG RUN. SO I THINK SHE’D HAVE TO

REASSESS AGAIN, DOUBLE DIGITS. TRUMP. I THINK IT’S ALL OVER. >> DIXVILLE NOTCH WAS THE ONLY POLLING LOCATION OPEN FOR MIDNIGHT VOTING. NIKKI HALEY WON UNANIMOUSLY. THERE WAS ONLY SIX VOTES. BUT HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT TRADITION AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE OTHER HISTORIC MIDNIGHT VOTING LOCATIONS OPTING OUT THIS YEAR?

>> WELL, HART’S LOCATION HAS ABOUT 75 VOTERS AND THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN DO THE MIDNIGHT VOTING AND ANNOUNCE IT IS IF 100% OF THE VOTERS VOTE. I’M NOT SURE THAT THEY OPTED OUT WILLINGLY. THEY MAY NOT HAVE HAD ALL OF THE VOTERS AVAILABLE, BUT I THINK IT’S A GREAT TRADITION.

I MEAN, I STAYED UP AND WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT. I KNOW SOME OF THOSE SIX PEOPLE AND I DO KNOW THAT THE HALEY DID GO TO DIXVILLE NOTCH, REACH OUT AND CAMPAIGN FOR THOSE FOLKS. AND SO THAT’S THAT’S JUST GREAT RETAIL GRASSROOTS. BUT AGAIN, IT’S ONLY SIX VOTES.

BUT IT’S A GREAT TRADITION. >> WE LOVE IT. HOW DO YOU THINK RON DESANTIS DROPPING OUT COULD INFLUENCE THE RACE TODAY? SO I THINK DESANTIS VOTERS HAVE SPLIT. SOME OF THEM ARE VERY CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE OF POLICIES. THE OTHER PEOPLE WERE WITH GOVERNOR DESANTIS BECAUSE

THEY DIDN’T WANT TO BE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. SO I THINK THEY’LL SPLIT MAYBE ON THIRD AND GO TRUMP ONE THIRD ALIEN, ONE THIRD BASE, STAY HOME OR FILL RON DESANTIS BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY LOYAL TO HIM PERSONALLY. SO I THINK IT’S A MIXED BAG. >> SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR

AS THE RESULTS START COMING IN TONIGHT? >> JAKE THE FIRST RESULTS THAT WE’RE GOING TO LOOK FOR SOME OF THE SMALL TOWNS IN HILLSBOROUGH AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTY THERE, THE SUBURBAN BEDROOM COMMUNITIES THAT REPRESENT THE ENTIRETY ELECTORATE. SO IF THEY GO ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WE’LL GET A VERY, VERY GOOD INDICATION IMMEDIATELY.

AND THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IS SPLIT FROM THE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY, THE TWO SEPARATE PRIMARIES. SO WE DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT IS FOR JOE BIDEN TO COME IN BEFORE WE ANNOUNCE A REPUBLICAN RACE. SO I’D SAY ABOUT 815 TO 830, WE’LL GET A VERY GOOD INDICATION OF WHAT’S HAPPENING.

>> AND, CHRIS, UNLIKE THE IOWA CAUCUSES INDEPENDENT, VOTERS CAN VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY TODAY. HOW MUCH OF A ROLE DO YOU THINK THEY’LL PLAY IN THE OUTCOME? >> SO WE’VE THAT RULE IN PLACE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. AND I THINK THE UNDECLARED TO BE ABLE TO SELECT EITHER BALLOT GIVES A GOOD

REPRESENTATION OF THE WINNING CANDIDATE THAT THEY APPEAL TO A BROAD OF THE ELECTORATE, WHICH I THINK IS WHY NEW HAMPSHIRE IS KIND OF A BELLWETHER FOR THE EVENTUAL NOMINEE. WE REPRESENT, AGAIN, A VERY BROAD SPECTRUM FROM MODERATE REPUBLICANS ALL THE WAY TO VERY CONSERVATIVE. AND SO WE’VE GOT TO APPEAL

TO THAT ENTIRE BROAD SPECTRUM. I THINK IT’S A GOOD THING FOR THE PARTY AND IT’S A GOOD THING FOR DEMOCRACY. >> ALL RIGHT. NEW HAMPSHIRE GOP CHAIR CHRIS AGAR. CHRIS, THANKS FOR COMING ON. >> RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE

NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS ARE TEAMING UP TO CAMPAIGN FOR ABORTION RIGHTS IN VIRGINIA. HARRIS WAS IN WISCONSIN YESTERDAY TO MARK WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 51ST ANNIVERSARY OF ROE VERSUS WADE THE SUPREME

COURT OVERTURNED THE LANDMARK DECISION NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO. NEWS POLITICAL CONTRIBUTOR ASMA KHALID JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. ASMA, ABORTION RIGHTS ARE A TOP ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATS IN THIS ELECTION. >> SO WHAT’S THE ADMINISTRATION’S MESSAGING TODAY? ESSENTIALLY, THEIR MESSAGE IS THAT THE REPUBLICANS, PARTICULARLY EXTREME REPUBLICANS, WOULD PUT FORTH

A NATIONAL BAN AND WOULD TRY TO FURTHER RESTRICT ABORTION RIGHTS. EVER SINCE THAT DAD’S DECISION CAME DOWN IN 2022. THEY HAVE FUNDAMENTALLY BEEN TRYING TO ARGUE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT ABORTION AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, BUT THAT THIS IS A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. AND THAT MESSAGE IS CENTRAL

TO JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS INTEND TO CAMPAIGN AHEAD OF 2024. >> NOW, SINCE THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION, AT LEAST 16 STATES HAVE SEIZED NEARLY ALL ABORTION SERVICES. AND JUST YESTERDAY, THE WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCED SOME NEW STEPS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION, ABORTION, MEDICATION AND EMERGENCY ABORTION CARE. SO WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING

ABOUT THAT INITIATIVE? YOU KNOW, JANE, REALLY, THESE ARE SORT OF EFFORTS ON THE MARGINS. I THINK THERE’S A RECOGNITION EVEN FROM THE REALISTS WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THAT THERE IS FUNDAMENTALLY LIMITED ACTIONS THAT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH CAN UNILATERALLY TAKE IN THIS MOMENT. AND IT’S WHY YOU HEARD PRESIDENT BIDEN CALL AGAIN

ON LAWMAKERS TO WORK TO TRY TO ROE VERSUS WADE AND PUT THOSE ABORTION PROTECTIONS INTO . OF COURSE, THAT IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN GIVEN THE CURRENT OF CONGRESS. BUT WHAT THIS WHITE HOUSE SAYS IS THAT IF THERE IS BIDEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, HE WILL ENSURE THAT AT A MINIMUM, NO

NATIONAL BAN IS PUT FORTH THAT SOME REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS HAVE SUGGESTED THEY WANT LOOK, I MEAN, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, THE WHITE HOUSE HAS TRIED TO ENSURE THAT REMAINS AVAILABLE, THAT IN SOME CASES WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO CROSS STATE LINES WITHOUT PENALTY TO RECEIVE AN ABORTION. >> BUT THESE ARE REALLY EFFORTS

ON THE MARGIN WHEN, AS YOU SAY, A NUMBER OF OF STATES HAVE NOW INSTITUTED FURTHER ABORTION RESTRICTIONS SINCE SINCE THAT 2022 SUPREME COURT DECISION. >> HOW CRITICAL THIS ISSUE AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF BIDEN HARRIS HOLDING THIS EVENT ON THE DAY OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY? I THINK THAT IS EXTREMELY POIGNANT.

NOT AN ACCIDENT BY ANY MEASURE. I MEAN, DEMOCRATS THAT I SPEAK WITH ARE VERY CLEAR EYED ABOUT THE POLICY ISSUE THAT HAS DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OUT TO THE POLLS CONSISTENTLY. SINCE THAT 2022 DECISION HAS BEEN ABORTION. >> IF YOU LOOK AT EVERY STATE WHERE THE ISSUE OF REPRODUCTIVE

RIGHTS HAS BEEN PUT DIRECTLY TO VOTERS SINCE THE JOBS DECISION, WHEN THAT HAS GONE DIRECTLY TO VOTERS, VOTERS HAVE OVERWHELMINGLY CHOSEN TO EXPAND OR PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS. THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT DEMOCRATS WOULD WIN ALL THOSE STATES IN ALL THOSE RACES. BUT THIS WHITE HOUSE AND DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVES SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT ABORTION

IS PERHAPS THE MOST COMPELLING ISSUE TO GALVANIZE VOTERS AHEAD OF 2024. >> AND YOU’VE EVEN HEARD SOME DEMOCRATIC ALLIES SUGGEST THAT THEY WANT TO SEE THE PRESIDENT DIRECTLY HIMSELF SPEAK MORE BLUNTLY ABOUT ABORTION. >> AND THAT’S WHY WE’RE GOING TO SEE HIM TODAY. ALL RIGHT, ASMA KHALID, THANK YOU, ASMA. MY PLEASURE.

COMING UP, MORE REACTION TO THIS MORNING’S OSCAR NOMINATIONS. WE’VE GOT THE SNUBS AND THE SURPRISES. >> I HAVE CAMP PROJECT. THEY’RE EXPECTING US. IT’S OUR SECRET WAR WE HAVE. DO YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE SAFE? I DON’T KNOW. THIS IS WHAT’S INSIDE THAT TENT IS A SLICE OF HUMAN BRAIN.

THESE ARE ASSASSINATIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE MURDERED BECAUSE THEY’RE, YOU KNOW, TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO. I DIDN’T. I GET THAT. IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE. >> WOW. >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE. MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST.

ABC NEWS, “WORLD NEWS TONIGHT” WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL THE TELEVISION. >> ALL RIGHT. HERE WE ARE READY. LET’S DO IT. YES, IT’S THE SHOW, AMERICA AND AMERICA NEEDS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHAT WOULD YOU DO? LET’S GO. HOW ARE YOU GUYS?

MUCH HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD, SO MUCH AT STAKE AT THE START OF EVERY. AND THAT’S WHY AT GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WE’RE RIGHT HERE AND DID ACTUALLY WE GOT YOU. >> I’M REBECCA JARVIS REPORTING FROM THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. AND WHEREVER THIS STORY IS, WILL TAKE THERE. >> YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS,

WHY? WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THE NOMINEES FOR THE 96TH ACADEMY AWARDS ARE IN OPPENHEIMER LEADS THE PACK WITH 13 NOMINATIONS WITH FOUR THINGS. RIGHT BEHIND WITH 11 NOMINATIONS. ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR KAYNA WHITWORTH IS COVERING IT ALL FOR US IN LOS ANGELES, ALONG WITH VARIETY’S SENIOR

AWARDS EDITOR CLAYTON DAVIS AND ABC’S CHRIS CONNELLY IN NEW YORK. ONE OF THE BIGGEST SURPRISE IS FROM THESE NOMINATIONS. I’M GOING TO START WITH GOOD SURPRISE, HOW ABOUT THAT? >> BECAUSE I THINK THERE’S A LOT OF SNUBS THAT WE’LL HAVE TO GO OVER HERE IN A MOMENT.

SO I’M GOING TO START WITH A GOOD SURPRISE. AND MY GOOD SURPRISE IS AMERICA FERRERA. SHE’S A SPOT FOR BARBIE RIGHT NOW IN AN OTHERWISE DISAPPOINTING MORNING AND SO SHE IS GETTING A NOMINATION FOR ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE. I THINK THAT SURPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND IN FACT, THAT ENTIRE

CATEGORY IS INTERESTING TO ME THIS MORNING BECAUSE DANIELLE BROOKS ALSO GETTING A NOMINATION THERE FOR THE COLOR PURPLE. >> AND THAT MAY BE THE ONLY NOMINATION THAT WE SEE FOR MOVIE, ALTHOUGH IN THAT CATEGORY, BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH REALLY, I THINK HAS THAT LOCKED UP FOR THE HOLDOVERS BUT ALSO

WHEN WE LOOK AT LEAD ACTRESS, THERE’S ALSO SOME HISTORY BEING MADE JUST IN THESE NOMINATIONS, WHICH I THINK IS FASCINATING. LILY GLADSTONE BECOMES FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN TO BE NOMINATED IN THAT CATEGORY. AND THEN ALSO EMMA STONE NOW BECOMES THE SECOND WOMAN TO BE NOMINATED FOR ACTING AND BEST PICTURE FOR THE SAME FILM

FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF FRANCES MCDORMAND. NOTABLY LEFT OUT OF THAT CATEGORY IS MARGOT ROBBIE THIS MORNING. >> ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE LEAD ACTOR AND ACTRESS CATEGORIES. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NOMINEES? WELL, I LOVE OUR LEAD ACTOR CATEGORY. WE REALLY VERY TIGHT CATEGORY TO GET ALL THESE GREAT

PERFORMANCES THAT WE HAD THIS YEAR. BUT WE HAVE COLMAN DOMINGO THERE FOR RUSTIN. IT IS HE IS THE FIRST OPENLY LGBTQ PERSON TO BE NOMINATED, LGBTQ CHARACTER, ALONG WITH JODIE FOSTER IN SUPPORTING ACTRESS FOR NIGHT. SO THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT FOR LGBTQ REPRESENTATION AT THE ACADEMY. ALSO, COLMAN BEING OPRAH’S

AFFIRMATIVE GLOW, NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTOR AND ALSO JUST THE SECOND TIME IN HISTORY THAT WE HAVE TWO BLACK MEN NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTOR DOMINGO AND JEFFREY RIGHT THAT EITHER OF THEM WASN’T DENZEL WASHINGTON OR WILL SMITH SHOWING, THAT WE HAVE MORE TALENT IN THIS WORLD THAN WE HAVE IN HOLLYWOOD.

AND I LOVE BRADLEY COOPER’S NOMINATION. THIS IS NO HIS 10TH, 11TH AND 12TH NOMINATION CAREER STILL WON AN OSCAR. AND THEN WE HAVE PAUL GIAMATTI THERE FOR THE HOLDOVERS, JUST A GUY THAT EVERYONE LOVES NOW WANTS TO BE UPSET, PAUL GIAMATTI WINS AN OSCAR, WAY OVERDUE, SOMEONE WHO WAS ACTUALLY IT WAS

A REALLY GREAT MOMENT TO SEE HEAR HIS NAME CALLED THAT KIND OF THING. YOU CAN’T GO WRONG TYPE CATEGORY. YEAH. CHRIS KIND OF MENTIONED MARGOT ROBBIE NOT GETTING TO LOOK FOR LEAD ACTRESS. >> ANY OTHER MAJOR SNUBS STICK OUT TO YOU. WELL, I THINK THERE’S ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY IN THIS

PARTICULAR AWARDS ROUND HERE. YOU SAW DICAPRIO NOT GET NOMINATED. I WANTED TO SEE ANDREW SCOTT GET NOMINATED. >> BEST ACTOR. THAT’S SIGNIFICANT. GRETA GERWIG AND ALEXANDER EACH GETTING PASSED OVER IN BEST DIRECTOR. BUT THEIR MOVIES DID REALLY YOU’D HAVE TO SAY JUSTIN TREE IS THE ONLY WOMAN NOMINATED FOR

BEST DIRECTOR AND THE RESULT. >> AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THREE BEST PICTURE NOMINEES ARE EACH NOMINATED BY A WOMAN OR EACH DIRECTED BY A WOMAN. AND THAT’S A FIRST. SO WHILE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SNUBS HERE AND THERE, I DON’T THINK BARBIE HAD THAT BAD A MORNING EIGHT NOMINATIONS IN ALL

YOU KNOW RYAN IS IN THEIR TWO BEST SONG NOMINATIONS. THAT FILM IS STILL WELL FOR THE FANS THAT LOVE IT. >> I THINK SO KIND OF. HOW IS THAT RACE FOR BEST PICTURE LOOKING? WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, OPPENHEIMER HAD A HUGE MORNING ,THOSE 13 NOMINATIONS. >> SO A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVING

THAT. BUT THEN YOU POOR THINGS REALLY COMING IN HERE WITH 11 AND THEN KILLERS OF THE MOON WITH TEN. BUT I TELL YOU WHAT, I THINK YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR AMERICAN FICTION AS WE MOVE FORWARD HERE. OH, I THINK IN THE GREENS YOU SHOULD SEE IT BASED

AMERICAN COMMUNITIES IS SUCH A IT’S SUCH A GREAT MOVIE AS A COMEDY. AGAIN, MAKING IT AT THE OSCARS . GREAT TO SEE THE CORD JEFFERSON. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS HIS FIRST MOVIE. HE’S INCREDIBLY HE’S AN INCREDIBLE FILMMAKER, INCREDIBLE SCREENWRITER. BUT I’M INTERESTED HERE WITH KILLERS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT TEN NOMINATIONS.

MARTIN SCORSESE, HIS LAST MOVIE, 3010 NOMINATIONS, THE IRISHMAN AND GANGS OF NEW BOTH WENT HOME EMPTY HANDED. I DON’T LIKE THAT NUMBER BECAUSE I THINK WE’LL GLAD TO SEE THE IN THE RUNNING FOR THINGS ALSO NOT IN THE RUNNING FOR A LOT OF OSCARS AT THE MOMENT BUT THERE IS TWO MOVIES

IN HISTORY THAT LOST 11 OSCARS, THE COLOR PURPLE AND THE TURNING POINT. SO I’M INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT AND, HOW MANY FILMS WILL ACTUALLY WIN OSCARS. SO THIS LOOKS LIKE AN OPPENHEIMER NIGHT. NONETHELESS, IT MIGHT WIN LIKE UPWARDS OF 910 OSCARS. I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE

A SWEEPER I’VE GOT THE STATS CLAYTON PREPARED YOU LOOK BACK IN HISTORY HERE CHRIS I KNOW YOU SPOKE TO SOME OF THE NOMINEES. HOW ARE THEY REACTING? >> WELL, BILLIE EILISH AND FINNEAS WERE OVER THE MOON. BILLIE EILISH STILL IN BED, I THINK, WITH THE COVERS PULLED

UP OVER HER HEAD AS SHE LEARNED THAT BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR FOR THE SECOND TIME. AND WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY SONG. I MEAN, A SONG THAT REALLY CAPTURES THE FULL AMBIT OF BARBIE’S EMOTIONAL JOURNEY, I GUESS SO INTIMATE, SO PERSONAL, YET TOUCHING ON A DOLL THAT MEANT SO MUCH IN PEOPLE’S LIVES SO

FASCINATING IN SO MANY WAYS. >> SHE WAS THRILLED. AND SO IS SHE. JEFFREY RIGHT, THAT’S BEEN A PHENOMENAL CAREER FOR HIM. AS AS CLAYTON WAS SORT OF ALLUDING. AND IT’S AMAZING THAT HE GETS HIS FIRST BEST ACTOR NOMINATION FOR AMERICAN. >> SO THAT’S EXCITING AND WELL, THAT’S DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH.

MY GOODNESS. AND FAVORITE PROBABLY IN THAT BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS CATEGORY. SHE JUST GOTTEN OFF A PLANE FROM PARIS. >> THAT’S THE WAY YOU WANT TO PASS THROUGH CUSTOMS. I’D SAY. YEAH. MAYBE THE ONLY TIME SOMEONE WAS SMILING WHILE DOING THAT. ABC IS CHRIS CONNELLY ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR KANE

YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . I’M GOING TO SEE YOU TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE FIRST THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY ARE GOING HEAD TO HEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THEY’RE MAKING THEIR FINAL PUSH. AND HALEY’S ALREADY CLAIMING VICTORY.

THE SUPREME COURT CLEARS THE WAY FOR FEDERAL AGENTS TO REMOVE RAZOR WIRE ON TEXAS’S SOUTHERN BORDER. WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE MIGRANT CRISIS IS TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT VOWS TO KEEP FIGHTING THE FLOOD EMERGENCY IN SAN DIEGO. >> DOZENS HAVE BEEN RESCUED. MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH

OF RAIN HIT THE CITY IN JUST 3 HOURS. MEANWHILE, SNOW AND ICE HIT THE HEARTLAND, SENDING THIS FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. 14 STATES ARE ON ALERT TODAY FROM KANSAS TO MASSACHUSETTS. IT’S WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT. THE NOMINEES ARE BARBIE OPPENHEIMER, WRITTEN FOR THE SCREEN BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN.

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON. >> THE BIG SURPRISES AND SNUBS THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS. WE’LL GET REACTIONS AND PREDICTIONS FROM INDUSTRY. PLUS, WHO HAS ALREADY MADE HISTORY? BUT WE BEGIN WITH THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT’S A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP

AND FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY. HALEY ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE. ABC’S ERIN SHOWS AT A POLLING LOCATION IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND JOINS ME NOW ALONG ABC NEWS DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER, WHO’S IN MANCHESTER. DOREEN, YOU SPOKE TO A FIRST TIME VOTER TODAY.

WHAT DID HE TELL YOU? UDAYAN BEFORE I GET TO THAT, JUST SECONDS AGO, NIKKI HALEY IN CHRIS SUNUNU WERE OUTSIDE. THEY WERE TALKING TO VOTERS. THEY ARE MAKING THEIR FINAL PUSH ALL AROUND NEW HAMPSHIRE TODAY. BUT, YES, I DID SPEAK TO THAT FIRST TIME VOTER AND THERE’S

A FEW OF THEM OUT HERE EVERY TIME, A FIRST TIME VOTER VOTES. >> THERE’S THESE LITTLE SOUND LIKE NOISES THAT GO UP, PEOPLE START CLAPPING. THERE’S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT, YOU KNOW, IN THEIR EFFORT TO UPHOLD DEMOCRACY, ESSENTIALLY. THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING BEHIND US. I SPOKE TO ELIAS AND WHO

HE VOTED FOR. HE SAID DONALD TRUMP. >> AND TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT ELSE HE SAID. JUST TURNED 18 AND VERY EXCITED TO, I DON’T KNOW, LIKE EXERCISE MY FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN. I THINK BORDER POLICIES IS DEFINITELY AN BUT YEAH, A PROBLEM FOR ME. I PROBABLY THE BORDER PROBLEM

THAT AMERICA IS DEFINITELY MY TOP ISSUE. THE ISSUE PART IS SO INTERESTING. YOU KNOW, THE SECOND SOMEONE TELLS YOU WHAT ISSUE THEY CARE ABOUT THE MOST, YOU COULD ALMOST JUST GUESS WHO THEIR CANDIDATE IS IN THAT MOMENT. AND I PRESSED HIM ON THAT ACTUALLY, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME, SO MANY

TRUMP SUPPORTERS ESPECIALLY TELL ME THAT THEIR NUMBER ONE ISSUE IS THE BORDER. I ASKED HIM, I SAID, YOU KNOW, OUT OF ALL THE THINGS, THIS IS YOUR NUMBER ONE THING THAT YOU THINK CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. HE SAID, YES. I ASKED HIM IF HE’D EVER MET ANYONE WHO’S ON DOCUMENTED

WHO’S CROSSED THE BORDER BEFORE. HE SAID. NOBODY SAID, LOOK, I AM JUST 18 AND THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE TALKING ABOUT AND THIS IS WHAT THE NEWS CONSUMING TELLS ME IS WHAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW. EVERY NEW HAMPSHIRE ALLOWS INDEPENDENT VOTERS IN THE PRIMARY THAT’S UNLIKE THE IOWA CAUCUSES.

SO WHAT IMPACT IS IT EXPECTED TO HAVE HERE? RIGHT. IT COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. ABOUT 40% OF THE ELECTORATE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE UNDECLARED VOTERS, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN TONIGHT’S REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. AND THINK THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE A BIG PART OF NIKKI HALEY’S STRATEGY, BECAUSE

THERE’S VERY LITTLE THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT IS GOING TO REMAIN LOYAL TO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND. SO INDEPENDENTS ARE KEY TO THEIR STRATEGY OF TRYING TO RUN UP THE SCORE. IT’LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS HERE TONIGHT.

SO WHAT ARE TRUMP AND HALEY’S MESSAGES GOING INTO THIS FINAL PUSH? I MEAN, HER MESSAGE IS REALLY ALL ABOUT HIS MENTAL FITNESS. I MEAN, HAVING TWO PEOPLE WHO POTENTIALLY WILL BE IN A REMATCH, WHO ARE SO MUCH OLDER, WHO’VE DONE THIS SO MANY TIMES, I WILL SAY WE ARE YOU KNOW,

YOU HEAR SOME PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW SHE’S REALLY GOING HIM IN THIS MOMENT. AND THE BIG QUESTION IS SHE HASN’T GONE AFTER ANY OF HIS MORAL CHARACTER, IS IT SORT OF ETHICAL THE ETHICAL SIDE OF HIM? RIGHT. SHE HASN’T TALKED ABOUT HIS 91 INDICTMENTS, THE INSURRECTION THAT HE’S BEEN CONNECTED TO, THE BIRTHERISM

COMMENT THAT HE HAS SAID ABOUT HER. SO WHILE SHE IS MAKING OF A SORT OF LIKE SHARPENING HER MESSAGE, SHE IS NOT GOING AFTER IN A WAY THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HOPED THAT SHE WOULD. >> AVERY, IF TRUMP WINS NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE NIKKI HALEY GOING

INTO HER HOME STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. RIGHT. I DON’T THINK SHE’S GOING TO GET THE BUMP THAT SHE NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO HAVE MOMENTUM HEADING INTO HER HOME STATE. IF SHE DOESN’T WIN HERE IN SOUTH EXCUSE ME, HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND THIS IS THE MOST FAVORABLE

THE PRIMARY ELECTORATE IS GOING TO TO HER. WE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THE FACT THAT PRIMARY VOTERS HERE, INDEPENDENTS, CAN PARTICIPATE. SHE’S REALLY POPULAR WITH, THOSE VOTERS. THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. AND I THINK WITH EVERY WIN THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP GETS, HE’S GOING TO BE ABLE

TO ARGUE THE PARTY NEEDS TO EVOLVE AND TO COALESCE BEHIND. AND SO IT’S GOING TO BE EVEN HARDER FOR HER TO GET THE CONFIDENCE VOTERS GOING DOWN THE LINE. AND SO WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. SHE SAYS SHE’S STAYING UNTIL SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT WE KNOW THAT RON DESANTIS SAID THE

SAME THING BEFORE HE DROPPED. >> ALL RIGHT. ZOHREEN SHAH AND AVERI HARPER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR, US. THANK YOU BOTH. AND FORMER REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE BARBARA COMSTOCK AND DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST STRATEGIST JULIE ROGINSKY JOIN ME NOW FOR. BARBARA, IF TRUMP COMES OUT ON TOP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TODAY,

IS IT ALL OVER FOR NIKKI HALEY. >> WELL, SHE CERTAINLY NEEDS TO GET VERY CLOSE. >> I THINK THAT RIGHT HER REASON SHE COULD STAY IN IS BECAUSE OF ALL THE LEGAL PROBLEMS TRUMP HAS AND BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SHE HAS MADE IT A TWO PERSON RACE AND BECAUSE OF THOSE LEGAL PROBLEMS, DO

YOU WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY IN THE WINGS WAITING? OTHERWISE, IT IS IT DOES MAKE A DIFFICULT PATH IN TERMS OF FUNDRAISING AND OTHER ISSUES. >> JULIE, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS NOT ON THE BALLOT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. SO WHAT’S AT STAKE FOR HIM IN THIS PRIMARY. WELL, THE PRIMARY IN NEW

HAMPSHIRE IS NOT PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO HIM OTHER THAN IF HE SEEMS TO GET SOME MASSIVE AMOUNT OF VOTES THAT RIGHT NOW I DON’T SEE HIM GETTING. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO BE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN APPETITE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOR

CHANGE IN SOME ELEMENTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. >> SO HE’S I’M SURE THEY’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON WHAT NEW HAMPSHIRE WILL DO. NOT SO MUCH THAT THEY’RE WORRIED ABOUT LOSING NEW HAMPSHIRE, BUT BECAUSE HE’S NOT ON THE BALLOT, BUT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY JEANNE PHILLIPS PRESENTS A CHANGE AND A GENERATIONAL CHANGE

THAT THERE MAY BE AN APPETITE FOR IT. >> BARBARA WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR HALEY TO STAY IN THIS RACE ? >> WELL, AGAIN, I THINK GETTING CLOSE IN THOSE MARGINS AND THEN SEEING WHERE SHE’S STRONG IN THE SUBURBS, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE LOOKING NASHUA, CONCORD, YOU KNOW, IN SOME OF THOSE

SUBURBAN AREAS. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, HOW DOES SHE PERFORM WITH YOUNG PEOPLE IN SWING VOTERS THAT ARE SO KEY IN A GENERAL ELECTION? BECAUSE HAMPSHIRE IS A STATE THAT TRUMP HAS LOST TWICE GENERAL ELECTIONS. SO I THINK THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT YOU LOOK FOR. DOES SHE HAVE BECAUSE

SHE’S BEEN SHOWING UP BETTER? BIDEN IN A GENERAL ELECTION IN, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEPARTMENT JUST CAME OUT TODAY SHOWING TRUMP LOSING RATHER BADLY IN. >> PENNSYLVANIA, FOR EXAMPLE, A SWING STATE. JULIE PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE TEAMING UP TO CAMPAIGN FOR ABORTION IN VIRGINIA.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE ON THEIR FOCUS IN THEIR REELECTION SO FAR? >> IT’S A SMART STRATEGY. LOOK, ABORTION IS, SOMETHING THAT TRANSCENDS PARTY. IT’S GOT THE OVERWHELMING SUPPORT OF NOT JUST WOMEN, BUT MEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND CERTAINLY REPUBLICAN WOMEN AND UNDECIDED VOTERS OR UNDECLARED VOTERS, VOTERS

WHO TEND TO NOT BE SO DOGMATIC ABOUT. THE FACT THAT DONALD TRUMP IS THE REASON BEING VERSUS WADE IS OVERTURNED OF THE JUSTICES HE APPOINTED AND THAT HE HAS TAKEN CREDIT FOR APPOINTING SOMETHING THAT DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO BE HAMMERING HOME EACH AND EVERY DAY, NOT JUST IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE,

BUT DOWN BALLOT AS WELL. >> ALL. ALL RIGHT. BARBARA COMSTOCK, JULIE BENSKY, THANK YOU BOTH. >> THANK YOU. AND THE SUPREME COURT IS SIDING WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN IN A DISPUTE WITH TEXAS OVER THE BORDER. THE COURT HAS CLEARED THE W FOR FEDERAL AGENTS TO REMOVE RAZOR WIRE FENCING, ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS

AND IMMIGRATION ADVOCATES CALLED DANGEROUS AND INHUMANE. TEXAS ARGUES THE RAZOR WIRE IS AN EFFECTIVE DETERRENT TO BORDER CROSSINGS. ABC NEWS SENIOR WASHINGTON REPORTER DEVIN DWYER JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. DEVIN, HOW DID THE COURT REACH THIS DECISION? >> HEY, DAN, THE COURT DIDN’T EXPLAIN ITS DECISION HERE.

THIS WAS NOT AN OPINION THAT WE WOULD NORMALLY YOU KNOW, WE EXPECT WHEN THE COURT HEARS A CASE, THIS WAS A RESPONSE TO AN EMERGENCY REQUEST BY BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO GIVE IT PERMISSION FOR FEDERAL AGENTS TO REMOVE THIS WIRE THAT WAS INSTALLED BY TEXAS TO STOP THE FLOW OF MIGRANTS

ALONG 29 MILES OF THE BORDER THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT WAS A 5 TO 4 DECISION BY THE SUPREME COURT LATE YESTERDAY, WHICH SAID THAT THE ADMINISTRATION CAN GO AHEAD AND REMOVE THAT WIRE FROM NOW. BUT THIS IS NOT THE FINAL WORD IN THIS CASE. THE ADMINISTRATION HAD

SAID THIS WIRE WAS IN PITTING FEDERAL AGENTS FROM DOING THEIR JOB AT THE BORDER. AND, OF COURSE, TEXAS, AS YOU MENTIONED THERE, HAS BEEN INSISTING THAT ABSENCE, YOU KNOW, MORE AGGRESSIVE ACTION BY THE FEDS. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING. AND TAKE ACTION INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, AND THAT’S WHAT THEY DID.

SO THIS IS QUITE A DISPUTE THAT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME AND WILL CONTINUE GOING ON EVEN AS THIS TURN FROM THE SUPREME COURT HAS GIVEN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION A WIN . >> A CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS AND JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT JOINED THE COURT’S THREE MORE LIBERAL MEMBERS TO FORM

THE MAJORITY HERE. >> HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? WELL, IT’S REALLY INTERESTING WHEN YOU HAVE TWO OF THE CONSERVATIVE MOVES AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE JOINING WITH THE LIBERALS INSIDE AND WITH THE ADMINISTRATION. BUT IT’S NOT THE FINAL WORD. AS I SAID THIS IS A CASE THAT’S STILL IN LITIGATION AT THE LOWER COURTS.

AND SO YESTERDAY’S ACTION WAS SIMPLY, YOU KNOW, A TEMPORARY ONE. THE JUSTICES INCLUDING BARRETT AND ROBERTS JOINING THE LIBERALS SAYING, LISTEN, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH HAS PURVIEW OVER THE BORDER, WHICH CONTROLS THE BORDER, CAN GO AHEAD AND REMOVE THIS WIRE FROM NOW. BUT THE LOWER COURTS, DIANE,

HAVE SO FAR SIDED WITH TEXAS, SAID THAT THIS UNABATED FLOW OF MIGRATION INTO TEXAS IS IMPOSING COSTS ON THE STATE, THAT THE STATE CAN TAKE SOME ACTION AND PUT DOWN THIS WIRE. BUT WHILE THOSE APPEALS CONTINUE, THE ADMINISTRATION CAN GO AHEAD AND RECLAIM SOME CONTROL OF THAT TERRITORY.

IT’S BEEN A STANDOFF OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, DIANE, REALLY AN EXTRAORDINARY THING TO SEE THE STATE AND STATE POLICE STATE NATIONAL GUARD FACING OFF WITH FEDERAL BORDER PATROL AS THIS CRISIS IS UNFOLDING BEFORE ALL OF US, AS WE SEE THE SITUATION, THE BORDER. >> SO, DAVID, WHEN COULD THIS

RAZOR WIRE BE REMOVED AND WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS HERE? WELL, CAN REMOVED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SUPREME COURT’S ORDER YESTERDAY GIVES, THE GOVERNMENT PERMISSION NOW TO GO IN AND REALLY DESTROY, REMOVE TEXAS PROPERTY. THAT’S THEIR WIRE. THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THAT. >> BUT THIS CASE IS CONTINUING TO BE LITIGATED.

THE APPEALS IS IS PREPARING TO HEAR ARGUMENTS IN THIS CASE. TEXAS HAD SUED THE ADMINISTRATION FOR DAMAGING ITS WIRE. AND SO THIS PROPERTY DISPUTE WILL GO ON. BUT THE MUCH LARGER QUESTION OF WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE BORDER, WHO CAN CONTROL IT? TEXAS BEEN TAKING A VERY AGGRESSIVE STANCE, TAKING

ACTION ON ITS OWN BOTH WITH THIS WIRE, BUT PASSING A STATE LAW RECENTLY THAT SAID STATE POLICE AND STATE OFFICIALS CAN START ARRESTING MIGRANTS. THAT’S AN EXTRAORDINARY MOVE THAT WILL BE LITIGATED. SO THIS IS A BIG LEGAL BATTLE PLAYING OUT AS THIS CRISIS CONTINUES TO UNFOLD THERE AT THE BORDER.

AND THESE CONTINUE TO COME IN DIANE. >> SENIOR WASHINGTON REPORTER, DEVIN DWYER, THANK YOU. YOU BET. AT LEAST 24 ISRAELI SOLDIERS ARE NOW DEAD AFTER ATTACKS IN GAZA YESTERDAY. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES CALLING MONDAY THE DEADLIEST DAY FOR TROOPS SINCE THE WAR STARTED. THE IDF SAYS THAT BRINGS

AN INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CHARITY, DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS, ALSO SAYS ITS STAFF CAN, QUOTE, FEEL GROUND SHAKING INSIDE THE REGION’S LARGEST HOSPITAL AND STILL FUNCTIONING IN THE GAZA STRIP.

NASSER HOSPITAL IS THE ONLY MAJOR HOSPITAL ACCESSIBLE IN KHAN YUNIS AND HAS BEEN UNDER SIEGE BY ISRAELI FORCES. NOW, STAFF THERE SAY THEY FEAR THE FIGHTING, SHELLING, BOMBING WILL GET WORSE AND CLOSER TO THE HOSPITAL. AND MARTIN LUTHER KING’S FAMILY SPEAKING OUT AFTER THE DEATH OF DR. KING’S YOUNGEST, DEXTER SCOTT KING.

THE KING CENTER SAYS DEXTER BATTLED PROSTATE CANCER AND PASSED AWAY AT HOME ON SUNDAY. AT A PRESS EARLIER, HIS SISTER BERNICE KING, GOT EMOTIONAL TALKING ABOUT HIS LIFE AND LEGACY. >> THIS IS PERHAPS THE HARDEST . APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP, YOUR LOVE. DEXTER WAS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD

GOVERNOR KERRY WAS THE WINNER IN IOWA AND GOVERNOR DEAN WAS WAY AHEAD HERE MANY WEEKS AGO, IT WAS ABC NEWS ANCHOR PETER JENNINGS CALLING THE 2004 NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY FOR JOHN KERRY. KERRY WENT ON TO WIN THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION, BUT ULTIMATELY LOST THE GENERAL ELECTION TO INCUMBENT W BUSH.

>> A LOT OF THIS SYSTEM IS ALSO PULLING ON A LOT OF MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. SO THAT’S JUST EXACERBATING SITUATION. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS THIS CONTINUES TO RISE THROUGH THE NORTHEAST BY ABOUT 9 P.M. TONIGHT. WE CAN SEE ON THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE STORM A LOT MORE SNOW

IN STATES LIKE NEW YORK INTO PARTS OF NEW THERE AS WELL. AND MAYBE A BIT OF ICING AS WELL WHERE THE RAIN MEETS THE SNOW IN PARTS OF PENNSYLVANIA AS WE HEAD TO THE EVENING BEFORE THIS MOVES OUT TOMORROW MORNING, A RESULT. >> MANY STATES ALONG THE GREAT

LAKES LINING, THE GREAT LAKES ARE UNDER SOME TYPE OF WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF OUR TUESDAY. GETTING TO THAT FOG AND, WE DEFINITELY NEED IT. >> AND HERE IT IS. ALL RIGHT. IN ALL ITS GLORY, FRIDAY CHICAGO FEELING LIKE SUMMER, MAYBE LOW FORTIES.

THAT THEIR SON HAD ACCESS TO A DEADLY WEAPON, THAT THEY GAVE HIM IS UNCONSCIONABLE. >> AND I THINK IT’S CRIMINAL. THE COUPLE HAS PLEADED NOT. TREVOR AULT, THANKS FOR THAT. COMING UP, THE OSCAR NOMINEES ARE IN. >> WE HAVE THE LATEST REACTION, SNUBS AND SURPRISES IN.

FIRST, THE 2024 OSCAR NOMINATIONS HAVE JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED WITH OPPENHEIMER THINGS AND KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON LEADING THE PACK. BUT ALREADY GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION ONLINE. AND ABC NEWS WILL GANSS. MORE ON THE REACTIONS COMING IN SO WELL. BARRINGTON WELL TODAY BUT STILL DISAPPOINTING COMPARED TO THE

HIGH EXPECTATIONS WITH EIGHT NOMINATIONS. >> SO WHY ALL THE ATTENTION? WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW COMING IN WE KNEW THAT BARBIE WAS THE FAN FAVORITE FILM WHEN. WE LOOK BACK ON 2023, THE YEAR IN POP CULTURE. IT’S HOT PINK. IT’S BECAUSE OF BARBIE. SO CONSIDER THIS. KEN GETS, THE NOMINATION.

BARBIE DOES NOT RYAN GOSLING DID GET NOMINATED FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR MARGOT ROBBIE WAS KIND OF SHOCKINGLY LEFT OUT OF THE RACE FOR BEST ACTRESS. >> AND I THINK THE OTHER BIG SNUB WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS FILM AND, I KNOW WE’LL GET INTO SNUBS MORE GENERALLY IN A SECOND,

IS THAT GRETA GERWIG MOUNTED THIS COLOSSAL SUCCESS, $1,000,000,000 BOX OFFICE BLOCKBUSTER. SOMEHOW NOT AGAIN GET NOMINATED FOR BEST DIRECTOR. AND SHE DID GET A NOMINATION FOR SCREENPLAY. THE FILM WAS NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE, BUT IT’S JUST LIKE, WHY ARE WE IGNORING THE WOMEN THAT PUT BARBIE ON THE MAP?

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT FEELS LIKE WE’RE LIVING THE WORLD OF THE MOVIE WHERE, YOU KNOW, CANNES DISCOVERS THE PATRIARCHY IS LIKE ALL GUNG. AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE. IT DOES FEEL LIKE THERE’S LITTLE BIT OF IRONY IN ALL OF THAT, BUT A NICE SURPRISE FOR AMERICA FERRERA. ABSOLUTELY.

>> ABSOLUTELY AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S A LITTLE BIT OF A SURPRISE, BUT I WASN’T VERY SURPRISED SEE HER UP THERE BECAUSE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE CONVERSATION AROUND AMERICA FERRERA AND WHAT IT HAS BEEN SINCE THIS MONOLOGUE HIT OUR SCREENS I MEAN, IT AFFECTED PEOPLE IN SUCH A PROFOUND WAY.

YOU SAW TIKTOK VIDEOS OF LITTLE GIRLS RECITING THE MONOLOGUE. WE SAW HER DELIVER YET ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SPEECH AT THE CRITICS CHOICE AWARDS JUST LAST WEEK SHE WAS HONORED WITH TO SEE HER AWARD. AND SO SHE’S KIND OF THE PEOPLE’S PRINCESS, I THINK, AT THAT AT THIS POINT.

AND SO TO SEE HER UP THERE GETTING RECOGNITION FOR WHAT SHE SAYS WAS TWO DAYS OF FILMING, TO LAND THAT MONOLOGUE ALONE, TWO FULL DAYS OF FILMING, JUST TO GET THAT MONOLOGUE PERFECT, 30 TO 50 TAKES. SO SHE REALLY PUT IN THE WORK AND DELIVERED A SPEECH THAT A

LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, REALLY RESONATED WITH. >> ALL RIGHT, I’M SQUEEZING TWO QUESTIONS INTO ONE NOW. YEAH, OTHER BIG SNUBS. AND WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING ON THE 10TH? >> OKAY, SO OTHER BIG SNUBS, I WAS ACTUALLY JUST TALKING WITH CHRIS CONNOLLY IN THE GREEN ROOM ABOUT THIS.

ANDREW SCOTT WAS MY CHOICE FOR BEST ACTOR. >> HE WAS IN A FILM CALLED ALL OF US STRANGERS AND JUST DELIVERED A PERFORMANCE THAT LIKE, I CAN’T SHAKE, I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. AND A NOMINATION FOR BEST ACTOR WOULD HAVE KIND OF THIS MOVIE INTO A DIFFERENT STRATOSPHERE THAT IT REALLY NEEDED.

UNFORTUNATELY, DID NOT PICK UP THE NOMINATION. I THINK BRADLEY COOPER IS IN THE SPOT WHERE ANDREW SCOTT WOULD HAVE BEEN AND HOT TAKE HERE. I’VE SEEN ENOUGH OF BRADLEY COOPER THIS YEAR TO LAST ME SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. I KNOW, I KNOW. I KNOW. HE HE WAS NOMINATED FOR DIRECTOR IN THE PICTURE

AND BEST ACTOR. SO LIKE, THERE’S ENOUGH YOU KNOW HE’S GOT ENOUGH. NO, FAIR ENOUGH. I’M JUST I’M JUST TRYING. MAKE LIGHT OF YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT, WILL GANSS TRYING TO CHEER YOU UP. YEAH, WELL, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DIANE. AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US. I AM DIANE MACEDO.

THEY BEGIN WITH THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT’S A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY. HEY, WE ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE. ABC NEWS SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT STARTS US OFF FROM BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

>> VOTERS HEADING TO THE POLLS FOR THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY, WHICH COULD HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN THE BATTLE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. EACH EVERY ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO CAST THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT VOTE. IT’S NOW DOWN TO A

TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY, THE FORMER PRESIDENT LOOKING TO CLOSE OUT THE PRIMARY QUICKLY WITH A DECISIVE VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> WE STARTED OFF WITH 13 AND NOW WE’RE DOWN TO TWO PEOPLE AND THINK ONE PERSON WILL BE GONE PROBABLY TOMORROW. FRESH OFF TRUMP’S LANDSLIDE WIN IN IOWA.

HIS FORMER RIVALS LINING UP BEHIND HIM ONE BY ONE. >> WE NEED DONALD TRUMP. AMERICA NEEDS DONALD TRUMP. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, VOTE TRUMP . IF YOU WANT FOUR MORE YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP. >> LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM. >> HE ITALY HAS CAMPAIGNED HERE

FAR MORE THAN TRUMP HOLDING 81 EVENTS. THE FORMER PRESIDENT JUST 17. BUT SHE’S STILL TRAILING HIM BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN THE FINAL HOURS, BLITZING THROUGH THE LOOKING TO PULL OFF A MAJOR UPSET. >> PLEASE, PLEASE. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH. WE GOT TO WORK. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE REST OF

IT. WE’RE GOING ON IT NOW. ALL RIGHT. HALEY INSISTING SHE’S THE LAST HOPE OF STOPPING A BIDEN TRUMP REMATCH. >> DO YOU WANT MORE OF THE SAME OR DO YOU WANT TO GO FORWARD HOPING TO WIN INDEPENDENT VOTERS LIKE DEBORAH BIRX? RUBY IN CONCORD. IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE NIKKI. WHY NIKKI?

BECAUSE I IT’S TIME FOR A BIG CHANGE. THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR RAMPING UP HER ATTACKS, TELLING VOTERS TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN ARE JUST TOO OLD FOR THE JOB. >> ARE WE REALLY GOING TO SAY THAT WE’RE OKAY WITH HAVING OUR OPTIONS BE TO 80 YEAR OLDS AT ONE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP,

HIS SUPPORTERS, HEY, WE WILL STAND A CHANCE IN NOVEMBER. SO YOU WANT A LOSING CANDIDATE WHO PUTS AMERICA LAST FOR NIKKI HALEY. BUT IF YOU WANT A PRESIDENT WHO PUTS AMERICA FIRST, EVERY SINGLE TIME, YOU’RE GOING TO VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP AND YOU HAVE GET OUT IN XI’AN AND THE POLLS

HAVE BEEN BUSY, WE WERE TOLD OVER 100 PEOPLE WERE WAITING IN LINE BEFORE THE POLLS EVEN OPENED HERE IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. YOU REALLY GET THE SENSE TALKING TO PEOPLE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND JUST HOW CONSEQUENTIAL THEIR VOTE IS, BECAUSE UNLIKE IN PREVIOUS CYCLES, THIS IS REALLY NOW JUST A TWO PERSON RACE.

WITH NIKKI HALEY, THE ONLY CANDIDATE STANDING IN THE WAY OF DONALD TRUMP TAKING THIS NOMINATION, DIANE. SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT, RACHEL SCOTT, THANK YOU. AND LET’S GO TO ABC’S ZOHREEN SHAH AT A POLLING LOCATION IN BEDFORD AND NEWS DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER IN MANCHESTER. GOOD TO YOU BOTH.

SO WHAT ARE VOTERS THERE TELLING YOU? HEY, DANIELLE, WE’VE BEEN SPEAKING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE TODAY. WE’RE AT THE BEDFORD POLLING CENTER HERE, THE BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING THROUGH HERE, IN FACT, BEFORE DOORS, EVEN OPENED THIS MORNING. THERE WERE OVER 100 PEOPLE

OUTSIDE AND YOU CAN RIGHT IN RIGHT NOW SEE THIS AREA WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VOTING. ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO JUST VOTED IS SUSAN OVER HERE. AND SUSAN, I KNOW YOU’RE NOT COMFORTABLE SAYING WHO YOU VOTED FOR, BUT WHICH BALLOT DID YOU VOTE WITH? THAT WOULD BE THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WHO YOU VOTED FOR AND THE WAY EVERYTHING’S DONE SO FAR? I THINK THE WHOLE PROCESS I THINK THIS TIME AROUND IS FRUSTRATING. FRUSTRATING WHAT? >> WELL, YOU HAVE THE TWO CANDIDATES. THIS IS NOT THEIR FIRST GO ROUND. SO IT’S THE SAME THE SAME TWO

CANDIDATES WHO THIS IS THE FIRST ROUND YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT TRUMP AND BIDEN. ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU FEEL YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT IT’S GOING TO COME DOWN TO. I FEEL LIKE THAT. YEAH. YEAH. AND LIKE I SAID, I THINK IT’S FRUSTRATING FOR AMERICA AND. >> AND YOU THINK THAT THEIR

FIRST TIME GOING ROUND. WHAT IS YOUR FRUSTRATION FACT THAT THIS IS BIDEN’S NOW FOURTH TIME RUNNING, TRUMP’S THIRD TIME RUNNING OR IS IT THE FACT THAT THEY’RE JUST A LOT OLDER? I THINK IT’S I THINK IT’S BOTH. I THINK IT’S ONLY THEIR AGE, BUT IT’S ALSO I THINK IT’S KIND

OF LIKE BEEN THERE, DONE THAT AND I TRY TO, YOU KNOW, CHANGE YOUR TACTICS A LITTLE BIT. BUT BASICALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS THE SAME THING JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS STATE IS GOING TO FEEL YOUR FRUSTRATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING

TO US. I THANK YOU FOR VOTING THIS MORNING. THANK YOU, DIANE REED. THANK YOU. HAILEY ABRAHAM, I WANT TO GO TO YOU BECAUSE HAYLEY’S ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH, NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE MIDNIGHT VOTE THERE. BUT THAT’S ONLY SIX VOTERS. >> SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR? TO GET A LAY OF THE LAND?

>> AND HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT TRADITION? >> RIGHT. I THINK IT’S A FUN TRADITION. LIKE YOU MENTIONED, IT’S ONLY SIX VOTERS AND IT’S A VERY SMALL AREA. THERE’S LOTS MORE VOTES COUNT LATER ON TODAY. AND I DON’T THINK IT’S NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF WHO WINS THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY.

IF YOU LOOK AT 2020, MICHAEL BLOOMBERG WON IN DIXVILLE NOTCH ,AND BERNIE SANDERS IS WHO ULTIMATELY WON HERE IN 2020 FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. >> I THINK I’M INTERESTED SEE WHO FOLKS ARE VOTING FOR AND WHY. RIGHT. I’M IN. IF IT’S THE PERSONALITIES OF THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE

DRIVING THOSE VOTERS TO THE POLLS OR HAVE SPECIFIC ISSUES. AND WE’VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE ISSUE AROUND IMMIGRATION. WE’VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE ECONOMY. AND I THINK IT’S INTERESTING THAT THERE IS REALLY WIDE DISSATISFACTION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE FOR THE NOTION OF A REMATCH BETWEEN BIDEN AND TRUMP.

SO WE’LL WHAT HAPPENS ZOHREEN SHAH AVERI HARPER BOTH IN NEW FOR US. THANK YOU. AND ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN HAS A BREAKDOWN OF THE LATEST POLLS AND HOW KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE IOWA CAUCUSES AND THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME. HI, RICK. >> HEY, DIANE.

YEAH, THIS IS THE LAST GLIMPSE OF POLLING THAT WE’RE GETTING FROM OUR PARTNERS, FIVETHIRTYEIGHT, AND IT TELLS AN INTERESTING STORY. JUST SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, YOU’VE SEEN SOME BIG CHANGES IN THIS RACE. YOU’VE SEEN CANDIDATES COMING AND GOING, YOU’VE SEEN ENDORSEMENTS, YOU’VE SEEN AD DROPS, ALL THESE THINGS.

AND IT’S HAD AN IMPACT IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. NIKKI HALEY’S NUMBERS HAVE TICKED UP A LITTLE BIT. >> AND IN FACT, IT LOOKED AT ONE POINT LIKE SHE COULD CHALLENGE DONALD AND EVEN GET INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED JUST IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO. HALEY CONTINUED TO RISE,

BUT TRUMP ROSE EVEN FASTER. SO COME INTO THE DAY WITH A BIG TRUMP LEAD, 15 PLUS POINTS IN OUR FIVETHIRTYEIGHT POLLING AVERAGE. BUT NEW HAMPSHIRE A LOT DIFFERENT THAN IOWA AND MOST OTHER STATES. ONE BIG DIFFERENCE INDEPENDENTS GET TO VOTE. IT’S NOT JUST CORE. AND THIS WAS THE LAST POLLING

FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AMONG REPUBLICANS. DONALD TRUMP IS DROPPING 67%, TWO THIRDS OF REPUBLICANS ARE VOTING TRUMP AMONG UNDECLARED INDEPENDENT, THOUGH NIKKI HALEY RUNS VERY STRONG, ALMOST 30 POINTS AHEAD OF DONALD TRUMP. SO THE MORE INDEPENDENTS SHOW UP, THE BETTER IT IS FOR HALEY, THE MORE THAT THIS

IS JUST ABOUT REPUBLICANS, THAT’S BETTER FOR DONALD TRUMP. THIS IS THE KIND OF DIFFERENCE IT CAN MEAN. TYPICALLY, YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT A THIRD OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS, REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE INDEPENDENT, UNDECLARED VOTERS. BUT BACK IN 2012, THE LAST TIME YOU HAD AN INCUMBENT DEMOCRAT RUNNING.

SO THERE WASN’T A LOT OF REASON FOR DEMOCRATS TO VOTE THAT YEAR. >> YOU SAW INDEPENDENTS ALMOST HALF, 45% OF THE ELECTORATE ON THE REPUBLICAN WERE ACTUALLY INDEPENDENTS. >> SO IF WE GET TOWARD THAT KIND NUMBER FOUR FOR NIKKI HALEY, SHE CAN RUN PRETTY STRONG TODAY. THAT’S WHAT SHE NEEDS.

SHE MAY NEED A RECORD TURNOUT AND THEN A RECORD SHARE THOSE INDEPENDENTS IF SHE’S GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE. AND THEN THERE’S A BIG WRINKLE . ONE OTHER WRINKLE, I SHOULD SAY, AND THIS IS ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS. SO THE LAST TIME THERE WAS A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, JOE BIDEN GOT

DESTROYED. >> HE CAME IN FIFTH PLACE. NOW, THIS TIME AROUND, THINGS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE ACTUALLY THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY DOESN’T COUNT FOR DELEGATES. JOE BIDEN ISN’T EVEN ON THE BALLOT. THAT SAID, A LOT OF HIS SUPPORTERS ARE ORGANIZING A WRITE IN CAMPAIGN AND THIS COULD ACTUALLY WHAT WE WERE

JUST TALKING ABOUT WITH NIKKI HALEY, BECAUSE THE MORE DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS THAT DECIDE TO VOTE IN THAT DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, THAT COULD BE VOTERS AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN SIDE AND PROBABLY AWAY FROM NIKKI HALEY. SO ALL OF THESE INTER-RELATED PIECES MAKE DO TODAY JUST ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING TO WATCH, DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT.

POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN, THANK YOU. AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. A U.S. MILITARY BASE IS PREPARING FOR WHAT THEY CALL A MARATHON RECOVERY AFTER BEING HIT BY A GIANT WAVE. THE RUSH OF WATER IN THE

MARSHALL ISLANDS TOOK OUT GLASS DOORS AND WINDOWS AND HIT AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE. ABC’S ABC’S TREVOR AULT HAS THE DETAILS ON WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY CAUSED IT. >> IT’S A TERRIFYING AND DRAMATIC MOMENT CAUGHT ON CAMERA AS AN EXTREME WAVE. >> A U.S. MILITARY BASE.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD, GOOD FORCE OF THE WATER SO STRONG IT PLOWS RIGHT THROUGH THE GLASS DOORS. TWO PEOPLE WITH IT. TAKE A LOOK. OTHERS STUNNED, CLIMBING ON TABLES. AND THEN ANOTHER WAVE RUSHING IN NOW, TAKING OUT THE WINDOWS AND PITCHING THEM INTO DARKNESS AS THE LIGHTS GO OUT.

IT HAPPENED AT A MILITARY BASE IN THE PACIFIC OCEANS MARSHALL ISLANDS, A TINY NATION CONSIDERED THE FRONT LINES OF CLIMATE. THERE’S RISING SEA LEVELS ARE LEADING TO POWERFUL WAVES FLOODING. AN EXTREME WAVE IS A WAVE THAT IS MUCH LARGER, SAY THE THE AVERAGE OF THE WAVES AT A GIVEN TIME.

IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAVES SETS, THEN IT’S POSSIBLE THAT THE ENERGY JUST DOUBLE IN AN AREA FROM TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF WAVES. >> THIS ISLAND, SOME OF THE U.S. ARMY’S MOST SOPHISTICATED SPACE TRACKING EQUIPMENT. THE ARMY SAYS AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF THE ISLAND WAS FLOODED AFTER A SERIES UNPREDICTED GIANT WAVES.

MINOR INJURIES REPORTED. THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN IN HISTORY BOOKS AS ONE OF ITS MOST CHALLENGING TIMES EVER IN ITS 80 YEAR HISTORY. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS AND WE ARE SETTLING IN FOR A MARATHON OF RECOVERY AHEAD. AND DIANE, ABOUT 80 PEOPLE HAD TO BE EVACUATED FROM THIS

MILITARY BASE. BUT THE ARMY SAYS A TEAM OF 50 PEOPLE REMAINS ON THE ISLAND. THEY’RE GOING TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE AND WORK, RESTORE THE POWER. >> ALL RIGHT, TREVOR AULT, THANKS FOR THAT. AN EXTREME WINTER WEATHER IS SWEEPING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SAN DIEGO IS UNDER A OF EMERGENCY AFTER GETTING

MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN JUST 3 HOURS. MEANWHILE, ICE AND BITTER COLD ARE STRIKING PARTS OF THE HEARTLAND. EXTREME WINTER WEATHER MOVES EACH. WATCH THIS FIRE TRUCK SPIN OUT CONTROL. AS 14 STATES ARE ON ALERT FOR WINTER WEATHER. METEOROLOGIST MARK THEODORE IS TRACKING IT ALL. HI, SEEMA. HEY, DIANE.

THAT’S RIGHT. SO WE HAVE THIS STORM SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT SOME WINTRY WEATHER TO THE HEARTLAND. AND NOW AS WE START TO GET INTO THE WARMER, MORE OF THE STORM SYSTEM FARTHER SOUTH, WE’RE SEEING THAT SWITCH OVER TO RAIN. SO ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAIN FOR A LOT OF THE GULF COAST.

IT’S ALSO TAPPING INTO SOME OF THAT GULF COAST OR, THE GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE TOGETHER THAT IS EXACERBATING THE. SO THESE ARE THE AREAS THAT HAVE THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR NOT ONLY FLOODING, FLASH FLOODING. IT’S HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY. SO IF YOU LIVE IN SHREVEPORT, GOOD MORNING. ALEXANDRIA, JACKSON, EVEN JUST

OUTSIDE OF CLOSE TO HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA, AND NORTH OF HOUSTON, BE PREPARED FOR FLASH FLOODING AS WE HEAD TO TODAY AND TOMORROW. THE WIDER SCOPE FROM WACO TO DALLAS, ALL THE WAY UP TO NASHVILLE, THERE’S A THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRING WITH THEM DAMAGING WINDS AND MAYBE EVEN A TORNADO.

THAT THREAT LOOMS. SO WE’LL WATCH THAT. NOW, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM? IT CONTINUES ITS PROGRESSION, THE EAST AND NORTH. AND BY 8 P.M., NOTICE HOW ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS STORM WE’RE SNOW IN STATES LIKE NEW YORK, UPSTATE NEW YORK, SYRACUSE, PARTS OF NEW ENGLAND,

AND A LITTLE BIT OF ICE WHERE THE RAIN AND SNOW MEET. SO WE COULD SEE A BIT OF WEATHER FOR PARTS OF PENNSYLVANIA UNTIL THIS STORM SYSTEM MOVES ON WEDNESDAY. AS A RESULT, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MULTIPLE STATES HAS PUT PARTS OF THE GREAT LAKES INTO ONE STATES

LIKE VERMONT, INTO NEW YORK, SOME TYPE OF WEATHER ALERT. >> WE HAVE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES BECAUSE OF THIS WE HAVE THE THREAT FOR ICING AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. OKAY. SO THE TEMPERATURES, THAT’S THE OTHER STORY. IT’S BEEN SO COLD AND WE’VE REALLY BEEN LOOKING FOR A REPRIEVE.

>> WE’RE STARTING TO WORK OUR WAY CLOSER TO THAT. SO A LOT OF THESE STATES AND CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN WITH FRIGID WEATHER ARE GOING TO SEE A NICE WARM UP BY THE END OF THE WEEK. MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, THURSDAY IN THE LOW SIXTIES. NEW YORK CITY, 57 ON FRIDAY.

THROUGHOUT HAMPSHIRE. NOT EVERYBODY’S HAD A CHANCE TO VOTE TODAY. THE TURNOUT WAS CONSIDERABLE AND ABC NEWS IS NOW ABLE TO MAKE A PREDICTION. ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. FACT WE PREDICTED JOHN MCCAIN. SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN IS A WINNER BY A WIDE MARGIN OVER GOVERNOR GEORGE W BUSH OF TEXAS, SENATOR OR GOVERNOR BRADLEY

ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. WE’LL GET TO JUST A MINUTE, BUT TERRY MORAN IS OVER THERE AT BRADLEY HEADQUARTERS BECAUSE WE NOW PROJECTED THAT VICE GORE HAS DEFEATED FORMER SENATOR BRADLEY, THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. >> WE’RE GOING TO GO OVER NOW TO THE AL GORE HEADQUARTERS AND TELL YOU WHERE. THAT’S RIGHT, PETER.

AND THE GORE CAMPAIGN IS VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH THIS VICTORY, NARROW, THOUGH IT MAY BE. THEY SAY THAT THIS IS A COMEBACK VICTORY FOR THEM. THEY SAY THAT THE BRADLEY WAS AHEAD IN THE POLLS AND OUTSPENT THEM. THEY SAY THIS IN HIS BACKYARD AND HIS KIND OF PERSON. THAT WAS ABC’S PETER JENNINGS

CALLING 2000 NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY FOR THE LATE SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE AND FOR FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. AND OUR VERY OWN TERRY MORAN WAS ON THE GROUND THERE COVERING COURSE WHEN GORE WENT ON TO WIN THE POPULAR VOTE, BUT NOT THE ELECTORAL

VOTE AFTER THE SUPREME COURT ORDERED FLORIDA COUNTY RECOUNTS TO STOP GEORGE W BUSH WENT ON TO BECOME THE NATION’S 43RD PRESIDENT. VOTERS ARE GOING THE POLLS RIGHT NOW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE NOW FOR THE 2024 RACE, AND WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON THE PRIMARY THERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BUT THE 2024 OSCAR NOMINATIONS

ARE NOW IN WITH OPPENHEIMER. FOUR THINGS LEADING THE PACK. SO WHAT COULD AN OSCAR WIN MEAN ,THE ACTORS AND STUDIOS FINANCIALLY? BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THE SO-CALLED OSCAR EFFECT. SO, ALEXIS, WHAT IS THIS OSCAR EFFECT? DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO WIN

TO FEEL THE IMPACT OR IS A NOMINATION ENOUGH? THE ANSWER IS SOMETIMES, RIGHT? SO, LOOK, HOWEVER YOU SLICE IT, THE OSCARS ARE STILL THE BIGGEST PRIZE IN, HOLLYWOOD. IT MEANS INSTANT CREDIBILITY FOR ACTORS AMONGST THEIR COLLEAGUES AND WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE PRESTIGE THAT COMES. IT REALLY OPENS UP SO MANY

MORE OPPORTUNITIES. NOW, WINNERS CAN GET THEIR PICK OF MOVIES, OF DIRECTORS OF OF MOVIE STUDIOS THAT THEY WANT TO WORK WITH. >> IT DOESN’T ALWAYS, THOUGH GUARANTEE MORE MONEY. TYPICALLY, AN ACTOR OR ACTRESS WHO WINS BEST ACTOR, A BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR CAN SEE A BUMP UP IN SALARY BY ABOUT 20%.

BUT THERE WAS AN INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE AREN’T A LOT OF HARD NUMBERS OUT THERE ON THIS, BUT THERE WAS AN INTERESTING RESEARCH AT COLGATE UNIVERSITY WHERE THEY SAW MALE ACTORS CAN $4 MILLION MORE WITH THEIR NEXT CONTRACT VERSUS WOMEN WHO MAKE ABOUT HALF A MILLION DOLLARS MORE.

>> SO THERE’S A BIT OF A GENDER GAP LIKE TO SOME OSCAR WINNERS WHO AFTER THEY WON, YOU SAID, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? WELL, I FEEL LIKE THAT ME OSCAR EFFECT SOMETIMES THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF THAT YOU DON’T HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN. EXACTLY. >> I’M MIRA SORVINO.

I’M GOING BACK NOW, BUT MIGHTY APHRODITE BACK IN THE 90S. WHAT HAPPENED TO HER AFTER THAT? CUBA GOODING JR FOR JERRY MAGUIRE GAVE THAT AWESOME SPEECH AT THE OSCARS FOR BEST SUPPORTING AND THEN DIDN’T REALLY GO ON TO DO MUCH ELSE. GWYNETH PALTROW, SAME THING FOR SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE IN 1989.

>> SO IT DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN BIGGER, BETTER AFTER THE OSCARS. I REMEMBER THAT ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY THE CAN. BUT AGAIN, WHAT ABOUT FOR THE STUDIOS AND THE BOX OFFICE NUMBERS? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOUR FILM IS NOMINATED, IT PUTS IT BACK INTO THE FOREFRONT. THERE IS, BUZZ AROUND THAT MOVIE AGAIN.

AND SO YOU MIGHT GET SOME INTEREST FROM THE TO GO SEEK THOSE FILMS OUT. THE DIFFERENCE, OF COURSE, NOW IS WE HAVE STREAMING A LOT OF THESE MOVIES HAVE ALSO BEEN OUT FOR A LONG TIME. THEY’RE NOW ON SERVICES. SO INSTEAD OF GETTING THAT BOX OFFICE BUMP, IT’S SHRINKING

AND YOU’RE SEEING THIS BUSINESS NOW MOVE OVER TO STREAMING. SO MAYBE SOMEBODY GETS A STREAMING SERVICE BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SEE PARTICULAR FILMS. YOU REMEMBER THE BANSHEES OF ASURAN LAST YEAR? YES, THEY WERE AN EXCEPTION TICKET. THEY’RE UP MORE THAN 380% FROM THE WEEK OF THE NOMINATIONS,

THE WEEK UP TO THE OSCAR. WOW. BIGGER. HOW’S THAT FOR AN OSCAR EFFECT? ALL RIGHT, BUSINESS REPORT, ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS. THANK YOU. WELCOME.

HI, I’M DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY ARE GOING HEAD TO HEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE NOW THEY’RE MAKING THEIR FINAL PUSH AND WHERE HALEY IS ALREADY CLAIMING VICTORY. THE SUPREME COURT CLEARS

THE WAY FOR FEDERAL AGENTS TO REMOVE RAZOR WIRE ON TEXAS SOUTHERN BORDER. WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE MIGRANT CRISIS OF TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT VOWS TO KEEP FIGHTING. THE FLOOD EMERGENCY IN SAN DIEGO. DOZENS HAVE BEEN RESCUED AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN HIT THE CITY JUST 3 HOURS.

MEANWHILE, SNOW AND ICE HIT THE HEARTLAND, SENDING THIS FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. 14 STATES ARE ON ALERT NOW FROM KANSAS TO MASSACHUSETTS. WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT. THE NOMINEES ARE BARBIE OPPENHEIMER, WRITTEN FOR THE SCREEN BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN. KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON.

>> THE BIG SURPRISES AND SNUBS FROM THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS WILL GET REACTION AND PREDICTIONS FROM INDUSTRY INSIDERS. PLUS, WHAT COULD HISTORY ON HOLLYWOOD’S GOLDEN NIGHT? THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARIES NOW OFFICIALLY UNDER WAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT’S A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY.

HALEY ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH MIDNIGHT PRIMARY WITH SIX VOTES THERE IN TOTAL. ABC’S JARED SHOTS AT A POLLING LOCATION, BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WITH MORE ZAREEN. WHAT ARE VOTERS THERE TELLING DIANE? YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY FEEL A SENSE OF EXHAUSTION. I SPOKE TO ONE WOMAN WHO SAID THAT SHE REALLY FEELS THIS RACE

IS GOING TO BOIL DOWN TO TRUMP AND BIDEN IN JUST A FEW HOURS. AND SHE SAYS SHE FEELS LIKE WE’RE JUST DOING 2020 OVER AGAIN. AND YOU CAN FEEL THAT SENSE OF EXHAUSTION HER WHEN SHE CAME OUT TO VOTE. BUT IT’S NOT JUST VOTERS WHO ARE ACTUALLY COMING TO BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL.

I MEAN, JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, WE SAW NIKKI HALEY OUT HERE WITH CHRIS SUNUNU. SHE WAS TALKING TO US, TALKING TO PEOPLE. SHE SAID SHE’S EXCITED. SHE FEELS POSITIVE. SHE WENT TO ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL EARLIER MORNING AND SHE RESPONDED TO TRUMP’S CALL TO DROP OUT.

SHE SAYS, I DON’T DO WHAT HE TELLS ME TO DO. I HAVE NEVER DONE WHAT SHE ME TO DO. MIND YOU, HE WAS HER FORMER BOSS. NOW, AS FOR TRUMP HE IS NOT DOING THE ACTIVITIES, AT LEAST PUBLICLY DURING THE DAYTIME, HAS HIS EVENT IN NASHUA LATER ON TONIGHT.

NOW HALEY’S CAMPAIGN JUST CIRCULATED A MEMO LAYING OUT THEIR GAME PLAN FOR THE REST OF THE PRIMARY. WHAT’S THEIR STRATEGY? SO THEIRTRATEGY IS TO STAY IN THE RACE THROUGH SUPER TUESDAY, WHICH A LOT OF EXPERTS ARE SAYING, IS INTERESTING CONSIDERING IF SHE DOES LOSE BY DOUBLE DIGITS,

IT IS GOING TO BE HARD FOR HER TO STAY IN THAT LONG. SHE ALSO SAYS SHE’S GOING TO BE LASER FOCUSED ON STATES WITH OPEN AND SEMI-OPEN PRIMARIES LIKE SOUTH CAROLINA. NO MENTION OF NEVADA, THOUGH, AND SHE’S HIGHLIGHTING THAT SHE IS THE BUT SHE HAS BEEN THE UNDERDOG BEFORE. IN FACT, SHE WON

THE GOVERNORSHIP TWICE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. >> AND SO SHE’S REALLY FOCUSING ON THOSE POINTS AS SHE MOVES SPOTLIGHT AND AROUND NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS ONLY PICKED ONE GOP WINNER IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, AND THAT WAS DONALD TRUMP. SO HOW INFLUENTIAL CAN THIS STATE BE FOR THIS ELECTION? YOU KNOW, EXPERTS WOULD SAY,

LOOK, THE STATE IS NOT GOOD AT PICKING SOMEONE WHO WILL THEN MOVE ON AND WIN IN A GENERAL ELECTION. RIGHT. YOU MENTIONED TRUMP WHO WON IN 2016 AND BEFORE THAT, THE ONLY GOP PERSON WHO WON HERE AND THEN BECAME PRESIDENT WAS GEORGE H.W. BUSH. THAT WAS 1988. THE CRITICS WILL SAY THIS STATE

IS NOT REFLECTIVE OF THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE. OF COURSE, NO PUSH BACK FROM REPUBLICANS ON CHANGING THE PROCESS IN THE STATE, BUT DEMOCRATS EXPRESSED THAT. THEY SAY, WHY DO WE HAVE A SCENARIO WHEN PLACES LIKE SOUTH CAROLINA ARE FAR MORE DIVERSE, REFLECTIVE OF THIS COUNTRY AS A WHOLE?

AND THAT’S WHAT YOU SEE HAPPENING WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN HAVING SOUTH CAROLINA NOW BE THE PRIMARY, ALTHOUGH THAT HAS INTERESTING CONSEQUENCES AS WELL, WHICH WE TALK ABOUT LATER. DIANE ZOHREEN SHAH IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. ZOE THANK YOU. AND NIKKI HALEY MADE AN UNPLANNED STOP AT A POLLING LOCATION EARLIER AND ANSWERED

A QUESTION ON WHETHER SHE CAN CLOSE THE GAP WITH DONALD TRUMP. >> SURE. I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT ELECTION DAY IS ALL ABOUT. DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM AND PEOPLE GOING AND SHOWING THE POWER VOICE TODAY TO BREAK THE POWER OF THEIR VOICE. WHERE ARE YOU? WHAT ARE HEARING FROM THE VOTERS THAT YOU MEAN?

I MEAN, THE POSITIVE SIDE IS THEY’RE GOING IN. THEY’RE TELLING US THEY WERE WITNESS AND WE’RE TELLING THEM TO GO BACK AND TELL PEOPLE TO GET TO THE POLLS. HOST OF THE FIVETHIRTYEIGHT POLITICS PODCAST GALEN DRUKE JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. GALEN THE RESULTS IN IOWA LOOKED VERY SIMILAR TO POLLING RESULTS.

SO WHAT ARE THE NEW HAMPSHIRE POLLS SHOWING RIGHT NOW? RIGHT NOW, FIVETHIRTYEIGHT’S AVERAGE SHOWS THAT TRUMP LEADS NIKKI HALEY BY ABOUT 18 PERCENTAGE POINTS, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT LEAD. I THINK WE’RE FOCUSED ON THIS RACE BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST COMPETITIVE PRIMARY RACE, THE COUNTRY ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE.

BUT THAT’S STILL, YOU. TRUMP WE’VE ACTUALLY UPDATED THE NUMBERS MORE RECENTLY THAN WHAT YOU SEE ON. AND NOW TRUMP HAS ABOUT 54% SUPPORT TO NIKKI HALEY’S 36% SUPPORT. THAT’S AN 18 POINT GAP. AND SO IF THE POLLS THE ARE ACCURATE TONIGHT, I THINK WE WILL SEE A MOVEMENT TOWARDS CONSIDERING THIS

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY TO BE OVER. >> AND NEW HAMPSHIRE DOES HAVE THE ADDED ELEMENT OF ALLOWING INDEPENDENT VOTERS TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY. >> HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THIS? SO IT CERTAINLY DOES AFFECT IT BECAUSE NIKKI HALEY DOES BETTER WITH MODERATE REPUBLICANS, VOTERS AND INDEPENDENTS WHO LEAN TOWARDS THE REPUBLICAN SIDE.

AND IN NEW HAMPSHIRE RIGHT NOW, THERE’S NOT A PARTICULARLY COMPETITIVE PRIMARY. SO INDEPENDENTS ARE MORE LIABLE TO ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. IN ADDITION, NIKKI HALEY PERFORMS WITH OLDER VOTERS, VOTERS WITH A COLLEGE DEGREE OF WHICH ARE MANY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. YOU KNOW, NEW HAMPSHIRE RANKS IN THE TOP TEN IN THE COUNTRY

FOR VOTERS WITH A FOUR YEAR COLLEGE DEGREE. IT’S ACTUALLY THE SECOND OLDEST STATE IN THE COUNTRY BY MEDIAN AGE. SO IT’S A REALLY GOOD ELECTORATE FOR NIKKI HALEY. SO THAT’S PART OF THE REASON IT’S THE MOST COMPETITIVE RACE IN THE COUNTRY, BUT IT’S ALSO PART OF THE REASON THAT IF

NIKKI HALEY CAN’T WIN HERE, THERE’S A BIG QUESTION OF WHETHER SHE CAN WIN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY. >> WHAT HAPPENS IF SHE GETS WITHIN SINGLE DIGITS, LET’S SAY? WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR HER GOING INTO SOUTH CAROLINA, HER HOME STATE? YES. SO REAL TALK HERE. CURRENTLY, NIKKI HALEY

IS TRAILING DONALD TRUMP BY ALMOST 40 POINTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. HER HOME STATE. I THINK THERE’S AN ARGUMENT TO BE MADE FOR HALEY. SHE MIGHT MAKE THIS ARGUMENT OR HER CAMPAIGN STAY IN THE RACE, THAT YOU’RE THE LAST PERSON STANDING WHO’S AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRUMP AS A BACKUP PLAN,

YOU KNOW, IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THIS PRIMARY. WE LIVE CRAZY TIMES. BE THE MAIN ALTERNATIVE. BUT THERE’S ALSO THIS ARGUMENT OF, YOU KNOW, SHE’S ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, A YOUNG POLITICIAN WHO STILL HAS A FUTURE FOR HERSELF IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. SO THERE MAY ALSO BE THE ARGUMENT THAT YOU SHE SHOULD

DROP OUT AND MAYBE ENDORSE TRUMP SO THAT SHE’S NOT SEEN AS GOING AGAINST THE WHOLE REST OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. I THINK THAT’S PROBABLY OF WHAT SHE’S MULLING RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, WE’VE SEEN HER SAY THAT SHE’S OPTIMISTIC ABOUT TONIGHT. OF COURSE, WE’LL SEE. PRIMARY POLLS HAVE A LARGER

THAN AVERAGE ERROR, SO PRIMARY POLLS CAN BE MORE INACCURATE THAN GENERAL ELECTION POLLS JUST BECAUSE VOTERS SWITCH MORE BETWEEN THE CANDIDATE. THESE ARE ALL REPUBLICANS ANYWAY. BUT EVEN WITH THAT CAVEAT, I THINK WE BE TALKING ABOUT THE END OF THE PRIMARY TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WE’LL SEE HOSTS OF THE FIVETHIRTYEIGHT POLITICS

CALENDAR OF THANKSGIVING. THANK YOU. AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT, STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. AND OFFICIALS IN YORK ISSUING A NEW CONSUMER ALERT FOR VENMO CELL AND CASH APP. MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG SAYS THE PAYMENT APPS ARE LEAVING

CUSTOMERS VULNERABLE TO FRAUD. THAT IS DRAINING BANK ACCOUNTS . BRAGG HAS SENT LETTERS TO COMPANIES THAT OWN VENMO, ZELLE AND CASH APP, CALLING FOR THEM TO ADOPT SECURITY MEASURES LIKE LIMITS ON TRANSACTIONS AND BETTER MONITORING OF THE ACTIVITY THAT LOOKS UNUSUAL. HE REQUESTED MEETINGS WITH THE COMPANIES. THE PEER TO PEER PAYMENT

SYSTEMS, AN ESTIMATED $1 TRILLION IN PAYMENTS. BRAGG SAYS AS USE OF THE APPS INCREASE, SO DOES THE PROBABILITY FOR FRAUD AND SCAMS. AND THE SUPREME COURT HAS SIDED WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN IN A DISPUTE WITH TEXAS OVER THE BORDER. THE COURT HAS CLEARED THE WAY FOR FEDERAL AGENTS TO REMOVE

RAZOR WIRE FENCING, WHICH ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS AND IMMIGRATION ADVOCATES CALLED DANGEROUS AND INHUMANE. IN TEXAS ARGUES THE RAZOR WIRE IS AN EFFECTIVE DETERRENT TO ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS. ABC NEWS SENIOR WASHINGTON REPORTER DEVIN DWYER JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. DEVIN, HOW DID THE COURT REACH THIS DECISION? HEY, DAN, THE COURT DIDN’T

EXPLAIN ITS DECISION HERE. THIS WAS NOT OPINION THAT WE WOULD NORMALLY YOU KNOW, WE EXPECT THE COURT HEARS A CASE. THIS WAS A RESPONSE TO AN EMERGENCY REQUEST BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO GIVE IT PERMISSION FOR FEDERAL AGENTS, REMOVE THIS WIRE THAT WAS INSTALLED BY TEXAS TO, STOP

THE FLOW OF MIGRANTS ALONG 29 MILES OF THE BORDER THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF TEXAS. IT WAS A 5 TO 4 DECISION BY THE SUPREME COURT YESTERDAY WHICH SAID THAT THE ADMINISTRATION CAN GO AHEAD AND REMOVE WIRE FROM NOW. BUT THIS IS NOT THE FINAL WORD IN THIS CASE. THE ADMINISTRATION HAD

SAID THIS WIRE WAS IMPEDING FEDERAL AGENTS FROM DOING THEIR JOB AT THE BORDER. AND, OF COURSE TEXAS, AS YOU MENTIONED THERE, HAS BEEN INSISTING THAT ABSENCE, YOU KNOW, MORE AGGRESSIVE ACTION BY THE FEDS. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING, TAKE ACTION INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, AND THAT’S WHAT THEY DID.

SO THIS IS QUITE A DISPUTE THAT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME AND WILL CONTINUE GOING ON EVEN AS TURN FROM THE SUPREME COURT HAS GIVEN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WIN. >> A CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS AND JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT JOINED THE COURT’S THREE MORE LIBERAL MEMBERS TO FORM THE MAJORITY HERE.

>> HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? WELL, IT’S CERTAINLY INTERESTING WHEN YOU HAVE TWO OF THE CONSERVATIVES AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE JOINING WITH THE LIBERALS IN SIDING WITH THE ADMINISTRATION, BUT IT’S NOT THE FINAL. AS I SAID, THIS IS A CASE THAT’S STILL IN LITIGATION AT THE COURTS. AND SO YESTERDAY’S ACTION WAS

SIMPLY, YOU KNOW A TEMPORARY ONE. THE JUSTICES, INCLUDING BARRETT ROBERTS, JOINING THE LIBERALS, SAYING, LISTEN, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH HAS HAD PURVIEW OVER THE BORDER, WHICH CONTROLS THE BORDER, CAN AHEAD AND REMOVE THIS WIRE FOR NOW. BUT THE LOWER COURTS HAVE SO FAR SIDED WITH TEXAS AND SAID THAT THIS, YOU KNOW, UNABATED

FLOW OF MIGRATION INTO TEXAS IS IMPOSING COSTS. THE STATE THAT THE STATE CAN TAKE SOME ACTION AND PUT DOWN THIS WIRE. BUT WHILE THOSE APPEALS CONTINUE, THE ADMINISTRATION GO AHEAD AND RECLAIM SOME CONTROL OF SOME OF THAT TERRITORY. IT’S BEEN A STANDOFF OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, DIANE.

REALLY AN EXTRAORDINARY THING TO SEE THE STATE AND STATE POLICE, STATE NATIONAL GUARD FACING OFF WITH FEDERAL BORDER PATROL AGENTS AS THIS CRISIS IS UNFOLDING BEFORE ALL OF US, AS WE SEE THE SITUATION IN THE BORDER. SO WHEN COULD THIS RAZOR WIRE BE REMOVED? WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS HERE?

WHAT CAN BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY? THE SUPREME COURT’S ORDER YESTERDAY GIVES THE GOVERNMENT PERMISSION NOW TO GO IN AND REALLY DESTROY REMOVE TEXAS AS PROPERTY THEIR WIRE. THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THAT. BUT THIS CASE IS CONTINUING TO BE LITIGATED. THE APPEALS COURT IS IS PREPARING TO HEAR ARGUMENTS IN THIS CASE.

TEXAS HAD SUED THE ADMINISTRATION FOR DAMAGING ITS WIRE. AND SO THIS PROPERTY DISPUTE WILL GO ON. BUT THE MUCH LARGER QUESTION OF WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE BORDER, WHO CAN CONTROL IT? TEXAS HAS BEEN TAKING A VERY AGGRESSIVE STANCE, TAKING ACTION ON ITS OWN, BOTH WITH THIS WIRE, BUT PASSING

A STATE LAW RECENTLY THAT SAID STATE POLICE AND STATE OFFICIALS CAN START ARRESTING MIGRANTS. THAT’S AN EXTRAORDINARY MOVE THAT WILL BE LITIGATED. SO THIS IS A BIG LEGAL BATTLE PLAYING OUT AS THIS CRISIS CONTINUES TO UNFOLD THERE AT THE BORDER AND THESE MIGRANTS CONTINUE TO COME IN DIANE. >> SENIOR WASHINGTON REPORTER,

DEVIN DWYER, THANK YOU. >> YOU BET. AT LEAST 24 ISRAELI SOLDIERS ARE NOW DEAD AFTER ATTACKS IN YESTERDAY. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES ARE CALLING MONDAY THE DAY FOR TROOPS SINCE THE WAR STARTED. THE IDF SAYS, THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ISRAELI TROOPS KILLED IN GAZA TO 221.

WHEREVER THE STORY WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE AND WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST THE 2024 OSCAR NOMINATIONS HAVE JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED. OPPENHEIMER FOR THINGS

AND KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON LEADING THE PACK. BUT IT’S BARBIE GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION ONLINE. ABC NEWS WILL GANSS HAS MORE ON THE REACTIONS COMING IN. SO WILL DID WELL TODAY BUT STILL DISAPPOINTING COMPARED TO THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS WITH EIGHT NOMINATIONS. SO WHY ALL THE ATTENTION?

WELL, THINK THAT YOU KNOW COMING IN WE KNEW THAT BARBIE WAS THE FAN FAVORITE FILM. WHEN WE LOOK BACK ON 2023, THE YEAR IN POP CULTURE, IT’S HOT AND IT’S BECAUSE OF BARBIE. SO CONSIDER THIS KEN GETS THE NOMINATION. BARBIE DOES NOT. RYAN GOSLING DID GET NOMINATED FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR.

MARGOT ROBBIE WAS KIND OF SHOCKINGLY LEFT OUT OF THE RACE FOR BEST ACTRESS. >> AND I THINK THE OTHER BIG SNUB WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS FILM AND KNOW WE’LL GET INTO SNUBS MORE GENERALLY IN A SECOND, IS THAT GRETA GERWIG, WHO MOUNTED THIS COLOSSAL SUCCESS ON $1,000,000,000 BOX

OFFICE BLOCKBUSTER, SOMEHOW NOT AGAIN GET NOMINATED FOR BEST DIRECTOR. AND SHE DID GET A NOMINATION FOR SCREENPLAY. THE FILM WAS NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE, BUT IT’S JUST LIKE, WHY ARE WE IGNORING WOMEN THAT PUT BARBIE ON THE MAP? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT FEELS LIKE WE’RE LIVING

THE WORLD OF THE MOVIE WHERE, YOU KNOW, CANNES DISCOVERS THE PATRIARCHY IS LIKE ALL GUNG. AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE. IT DOES FEEL LIKE THERE’S LITTLE BIT OF IRONY IN ALL OF THAT, BUT A NICE SURPRISE FOR AMERICA FERRERA. ABSOLUTELY. AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S A LITTLE

BIT OF A SURPRISE, BUT I WAS VERY SURPRISED SEE HER UP THERE, BECAUSE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE CONVERSATION AROUND AMERICA FERRERA AND WHAT IT HAS BEEN SINCE THIS MONOLOGUE HIT OUR I MEAN, IT AFFECTED PEOPLE IN SUCH A PROFOUND WAY. YOU THOUGHT TIKTOK VIDEOS OF LITTLE GIRLS RECITING THE MONOLOGUE.

WE SAW HER DELIVER YET ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SPEECH AT THE CRITICS CHOICE AWARDS JUST LAST WEEK. SHE WAS HONORED WITH THE C HER AWARD. AND SO SHE’S KIND OF THE PEOPLE’S PRINCESS I THINK, AT THAT POINT, AT THIS POINT. AND SO TO SEE HER UP THERE GETTING RECOGNITION, WHAT SHE

SAYS WAS TWO DAYS OF FILMING, TO LAND THAT MONOLOGUE ALONE, TWO FULL DAYS OF FILMING, JUST TO GET THAT MONOLOGUE PERFECT. 30 TO 50 TAKES. SO SHE REALLY PUT IN THE WORK AND DELIVERED A SPEECH THAT LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, REALLY RESONATED WITH. ALL RIGHT. I’M SQUEEZING TWO QUESTIONS INTO ONE NOW.

YEAH, THEY’RE BIG SNUBS. AND WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR ON THE 10TH? OKAY, SO OTHER BIG SNUBS, I WAS ACTUALLY JUST TALKING WITH CHRIS CONNOLLY IN THE GREEN ROOM ABOUT THIS. ANDREW SCOTT WAS MY CHOICE FOR BEST ACTOR. >> HE WAS IN A FILM CALLED ALL OF US STRANGERS AND JUST

DELIVERED A PERFORMANCE THAT LIKE, I CAN’T SHAKE, I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. AND A NOMINATION FOR BEST ACTOR WOULD HAVE KIND LAUNCHED THIS MOVIE INTO A DIFFERENT STRATOSPHERE THAT IT REALLY NEEDED. UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT PICK UP THE NOMINATION. I THINK BRADLEY COOPER IS IN THE SPOT WHERE ANDREW SCOTT

WOULD HAVE BEEN AND HOT TAKE HERE. I’VE SEEN ENOUGH OF BRADLEY COOPER THIS YEAR TO LAST ME SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. I KNOW, I KNOW. I KNOW. HE WAS NOMINATED FOR DIRECTOR IN THE PICTURE AND BEST ACTOR. SO LIKE THERE’S ENOUGH YOU KNOW HE’S GOT ENOUGH. NO, FAIR ENOUGH.

I’M JUST I’M JUST TRYING MAKE LIGHT OF YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT AND TRYING TO CHEER YOU UP. YEAH, WELL, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DIANE. AND THANK YOU FOR WITH US. I AM DIANE MACEDO. THOSE ACADEMY AWARDS ARE MARCH 10TH, BUT WE HERE AT ABC NEWS LIVE HAVE A LOT MORE COVERAGE ON THAT.

WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. THANKS FOR STICKING WITH US. YOU’RE LOOKING AT MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE ON THIS PRIMARY ELECTION AND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEWS TO GET TO YOU. HERE’S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. A OF EMERGENCY IS IN EFFECT IN SAN DIEGO BECAUSE OF MAJOR FLOODING.

HUNDREDS HAVE BEEN RESCUED FROM FLOODED HOMES AND DOZENS MORE FROM THEIR CARS AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN FELL THERE IN JUST 3 HOURS. SOME PARTS OF CALIFORNIA GOT NINE INCHES OF RAIN IN THREE DAYS. MEANWHILE, A STORM IN THE MIDWEST CREATED DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN MISSOURI.

ICY ROADS SENT THIS FIRE TRUCK SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL. THAT STORMS NOW BRINGING RAIN ICE TO CHICAGO AND DETROIT. UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS SAY, AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND ANOTHER 67 INJURED AFTER RUSSIAN AIR STRIKES ON UKRAINE’S TWO LARGEST CITIES. RESIDENTS IN KYIV, KHARKIV, SAY THE STRIKES CAME EARLY IN THE

MORNING WHILE MOST WERE STILL SLEEPING. UKRAINE SAYS IT’S SHOT DOWN 21 OF THE 41 MISSILES THAT APPEARED TO BE TARGETING RESIDENTIAL AREAS. AND TRIBUTES ARE POURING IN FOR DEXTER’S SCOTT KING, YOUNGEST SON OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. THE KING CENTER SAYS DEXTER BATTLED PROSTATE CANCER AND PASSED AWAY AT HOME

ON SUNDAY. BROTHER SAID IN A STATEMENT THE SUDDEN SHOCK IS DEVASTATING. IT’S TO HAVE THE RIGHT WORDS AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS. DEXTER WAS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD WHEN HIS FATHER WAS KILLED. HE CONTINUED HIS FATHER RIGHTS WORK AS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NONPROFIT KING CENTER STARTED HIS MOTHER, CORETTA SCOTT KING.

DEXTER SCOTT WAS 62, AND JOEL EMBIID IS NOW PART OF NBA HISTORY. 70 SIXERS POWER FORWARD SET A FRANCHISE RECORD SCORING 70 POINTS IN A WIN OVER SAN ANTONIO LAST NIGHT. THAT BEATS OUT THE EIGHT POINTS THAT WILT CHAMBERLAIN SCORED DURING A GAME IN 1967, AND HIS PERFORMANCE CAME 18 YEARS

TO THE DAY AFTER KOBE BRYANT SCORED 81 POINTS AGAINST TORONTO. THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY IS NOW OFFICIALLY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT’S A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY. AND HALEY ALREADY WON THE DIXVILLE NOTCH MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE. ABC EVA PILGRIM IS TALKING

TO NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS ABOUT HOW THEY ARE MAKING THEIR CHOICE IN THIS HIGH STAKES. WHY DO YOU THINK IT’S SO IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE IN THIS PRIMARY? >> BECAUSE THE COUNTRY IS A MESS. SO HAVE YOU DECIDED WHO YOU’RE GOING TO VOTE FOR TOMORROW? >> YES. I FEEL LIKE IT’S IMPORTANT.

EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE. VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY, HAVE A HISTORY OF TURNING OUT. >> WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME WHO YOU’RE PLANNING TO VOTE FOR ? TRUMP. WHY DID YOU PAUSE WHEN YOU SAID IT IS JUST EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN OPINION, EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN VIEWS

ON CANDIDATE SO IT CAN GET HOSTILE AT TIMES. >> ACCORDING TO FIVETHIRTYEIGHT ANALYSIS OF RECENT POLLS, SOME OF THE TOP ISSUES FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN VOTERS IMMIGRATION AND THE BORDER, THE ECONOMY AND FOREIGN POLICY. >> BUT WHEN YOU TALK TO VOTERS, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE CANDIDATE, I’M VOTING FOR NIKKI

HALEY BECAUSE SHE JUST SHE’S FRESH, SHE’S YOUNG, SHE’S AN ACCOUNTANT AND I LIKE THAT SHE’S GOING TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. SOME VOTERS SAY THEY’RE READY FOR SOMETHING NEW BECAUSE I VOTED FOR TRUMP IN THE LAST I VOTED FOR OBAMA. SO I GO BOTH WAYS. I GO BY THE CANDIDATE AND I’M

SOLD BY THE PARTY. OTHERS ADMIT GO ROUND. THEY FEEL COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT. IT’S TO BE HONEST, IT’S CRAZY, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THE STUFF ON TV, IT’S JUST SO YOU’RE JUST OVER IT KIND, I GUESS. >> NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS WE TALKED TO HAD MANY REASONS FOR

WHY THEY WERE GOING TO TURN OUT TODAY, INCLUDING TO VOTE AGAINST CANDIDATE. >> I’M AN INDEPENDENT GOING ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. SECOND VOTE FOR NIKKI HALEY AND NIKKI HALEY. >> BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP I DO NOT WANT IN THE OFFICE AND ABC’S EVA PILGRIM JOINS ME LIVE NOW FROM A POLLING

LOCATION IN LONDONDERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE. EVEN ONE OF THE DECIDING FACTORS FOR THE VOTERS YOU’VE SPOKEN TO, DIANE, YOU HEARD FROM THAT WOMAN RIGHT THERE AT THE OF THE PIECE. A LOT OF THIS COMES DOWN TO THE CANDIDATES THAT IT’S A TWO PERSON RACE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. PEOPLE ARE REALLY SPLIT OUT.

THOSE WHO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DECIDING TO TURN OUT TO VOTE ARE SUPPORTING NIKKI HALEY. WE’RE REALLY HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE TURNOUT LOOKS LIKE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. SO WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM DEMOCRATIC VOTERS SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN’S NOT ON THE BALLOT THERE?

>> SO WE’VE ASKED A LOT OF THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS YESTERDAY IN OUR LITTLE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT POLL THAT WE WERE DOING, AND THEY DON’T SEEM TO THINK MUCH OF THIS AT ALL. THEY’RE WRITING IN JOE BIDEN’S NAME. THEY DO THINK IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY SHOW UP

TODAY AND TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY. THERE’S OTHER RACES THAT THEY’RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT, DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT, EVA PILGRIM IN LONDONDERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE, THANKS EVEN. AND ABC NEWS SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT IS IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WITH MORE. RACHEL, YOU ASKED NIKKI HALEY DIRECTLY ABOUT THESE NEW POLLS SHOWING THAT FORMER

PRESIDENT IS WIDENING HIS LEAD. >> HOW SHE RESPONDING TO THAT? SHE’S LARGELY DISMISSING THESE NEW POLLS FOR ONE GOOD REASON. SHE KNOWS THE STRENGTH OF THE INDEPENDENT VOTE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> YES. YOU HAD THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAVE THAT LANDSLIDE OVER IN IOWA, BUT SHE’S REALLY BETTING ON INDEPENDENTS TURN

OUT FOR HER, THE SO-CALLED UNDECLARED VOTERS WHO ARE READY TO MOVE ON FROM FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. AND WE’VE CERTAINLY TALKED TO A NUMBER OF THEM IN THE STATE. THE BIG QUESTION HANGING ALL OF THIS, IS THAT ENOUGH TO CHIP AWAY AT DONALD TRUMP’S LEAD

IN THIS STATE BECAUSE HALEY IS BEHIND DOUBLE DIGITS AND THAT’S THAT TRUMP HAS BEEN STEPPING UP ATTACKS AGAINST HALEY. HE RECENTLY FALSELY THAT SHE’S INELIGIBLE TO RUN BECAUSE HER PARENTS WEREN’T CITIZENS. SHE WAS BORN. HE ALSO MISSPELLED HER BIRTH NAME A FEW TIMES. HOW SIGNIFICANT HINT ARE THESE

COMMENTS BY TRUMP AND HOW IS HALEY REACTING TO THAT? THESE COMMENTS ARE EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT IN OF THIS ECHOES A LOT OF THE BIRTHER RACIST CONSPIRACY THEORIES THE FORMER PRESIDENT PUSHED AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. WE’RE SEEING DO THE SAME EXACT THING. RIGHT. AGAIN, THIS IS A STRAIGHT OF HIS CAMPAIGN PLAYBOOK.

HALEY, I ASKED HER DIRECTLY ABOUT COMMENTS FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND SHE SAYS THIS IS ALL SORT OF PROOF THAT SHE IS GETTING TO HIM. SHE REPEATS THAT SHE KNOWS DONALD TRUMP WELL. OF COURSE, SHE SERVED AS HIS U.N. AMBASSADOR DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION. AS SHE SAYS AT THE TIME HE CALLED HER TOP.

HE HAD NOTHING BUT HIGH PRAISE FOR HER. BUT NOW THAT SHE’S CONSIDERED A THREAT, YOU COULD SEE THE FORMER PRESIDENT GOING AFTER HER EVEN MORE. HALEY, FOR HER PART, SEEMS TO BE BRUSHING IT ALL OFF, SAYING THAT IT’S PROOF THAT SHE HAS THE MOMENTUM AND IS GAINING SPEED IN THIS RACE.

>> SO, RACHEL, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR TODAY? >> WELL, I HATE TO BE, YOU KNOW, THE CLICHE REPORTER HERE WHEN I SAY IT ALL COMES DOWN TO TURNOUT, BUT IN SO MANY WAYS, IT DOESN’T LOOK GOOD. WE ARE HERE NOW WITH THIS POLLING LOCATION HERE IN BEDFORD.

YOU CAN SEE THIS LINE HERE STARTING TO BUILD. WE WERE HERE REALLY EARLY THIS MORNING. 100 PEOPLE WERE LINED UP BEFORE THE POLLS EVEN OPENED HERE AT 7 A.M.. BY 8 A.M., I WAS TOLD THAT OVER 500 PEOPLE HAD ALREADY VOTED IN THIS LOCATION. AND SO THAT’S WHAT REALLY GOING

TO COME DOWN TO AT THE END OF THE DAY. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW IOWA, THE HISTORICALLY LOW TURNOUT. I WILL TELL YOU, FROM TALKING TO HERE THAT ARE GETTING READY TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS, THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT OF THIS RACE. BUT ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE IN PREVIOUS CYCLES, YOU HAD MULTIPLE CANDIDATES

ON THE BALLOT. NOW, THIS IS DOWN TO A TWO-PERSON RACE BETWEEN, DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY. AND SHE IS THE LAST CANDIDATE SITTING THE WAY BETWEEN HIM AND REPUBLICAN NOMINATION DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT. RACHEL SCOTT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR THANKS, RACHEL. COMING UP, NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY VOTING IS UNDERWAY WITHOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN

ON THE BALLOT WHERE HE AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE PLANNING A MAJOR CAMPAIGN EVENT INSTEAD. ALSO AHEAD, THE NOMINEES ARE WE ARE BREAKING DOWN THIS MORNING’S OSCAR NOMINATIONS. WHO’S IN AND GOT SNUBBED? >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE. MORE TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST.

NBC NEWS NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL THE TELEVISION. YOU AND ME GO BACK TO THE BOONDOCKS. YEAH. OF SO FAR IN THE MOVIES, MY LITTLE ONE. I’M GOING TO END RIGHT MORNING AMERICA. >> FROM AMERICA’S ONE NEWS SOURCE COMES THE ALL-NEW ABC NEWS APP.

OPPRESSION BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY NECESSARY. BROTHERS AND SISTERS. ARE YOU READY? YOU MUST BE IN THE GAME. THIS IS OUR REALITY NOW. >> YOU’RE WATCHING AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS KEEP SCHOOL WITH ABC LIVE WITH ALMOST ALL OF THE VOTE IN, GEORGE BUSH COMES FIRST. ROBERT DOLE COME SECOND.

JACK IS A FAIRLY CONVINCING THIRD LEADING A HIGHER THAN THE POLLS HAD ANTICIPATED. HE WOULD BE BEATEN BUT DOESN’T DO VERY WELL AT ALL, BUT SAYS HE WILL STAY IN THE RACE AND GO DOWN SOUTH. PAT ROBERTSON COMES IN FIFTH. A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR HIM. HE SAYS THE SOUTH IS A GROUND

IN WHICH HE WOULD RATHER COMPETE. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATS, NOT THE DEMOCRATS, MUCH PREDICTABLE. MICHAEL DUKAKIS, THE GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS, DOES JUST ABOUT AS WELL AS THE POLLS SAID HE WOULD, AND ABOUT AS WELL AS HE EXPECTED. RICHARD GEPHARDT COMES IN SECOND AFTER FIGHTING IT OUT

WITH PAUL. THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR PAUL SIMON NOW TO GO OUT AND RAISE MONEY. BUT HE SAYS HE WILL GO ON TO THE SOUTH. RICHARD GEPHARDT CERTAINLY WILL. JESSE JACKSON HAS DONE BETTER HERE THAN HE DID FOUR YEARS AGO. AL DIDN’T CAMPAIGN VERY SERIOUSLY HERE, AND HE’S

WAITING FOR ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN THE SOUTH. BRUCE BABBITT WILL LIKELY DROP OUT OF THIS RACE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST, GARY HART SAID LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE. THE PEOPLE DECIDED HE CAME IN ABSOLUTELY. THAT WAS ABC’S PETER JENNINGS

ANNOUNCING THE RESULTS OF THE 1988 NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY. REPUBLICAN GEORGE BUSH AND DEMOCRAT MICHAEL DUKAKIS WOULD GO ON TO WIN THEIR RESPECTIVE PARTIES NOMINATIONS THAT YEAR, AND BUSH WOULD LATER BE ELECTED THE 41ST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND VOTERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE GOING TO THE POLLS RIGHT NOW IN TODAY’S FIRST

IN THE NATION PRIMARY. LET’S IN THE CHAIR OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY, CHRIS AGAR, FOR MORE. CHRIS, THANKS. COMING ON. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS RACE? COULD THIS RACE EFFECTIVELY BE OVER AFTER TODAY OR DO YOU THINK THIS IS GOING FOR THE LONG HAUL? >> WELL, IF PRESIDENT TRUMP

WINS BY DOUBLE DIGITS, I THINK THE HALEY CAMPAIGN WOULD HAVE TO REASSESS, BECAUSE NEW HAMPSHIRE IS A VERY FAVORABLE PLACE FOR NIKKI HALEY. SO IF SHE CAN’T WIN HERE OR GET VERY CLOSE, I THINK IT’LL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR HER TO WIN IT IN THE LONG RUN. SO I THINK SHE’LL HAVE TO

REASSESS AGAIN, DOUBLE DIGITS TRUMP. >> I THINK IT’S ALL OVER. DIXVILLE NOTCH WAS, THE ONLY POLLING LOCATION OPEN FOR MIDNIGHT VOTING. NIKKI HALEY WON UNANIMOUSLY THERE IT WAS ONLY SIX VOTES. BUT HOW IMPORTANT THAT TRADITION AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE OTHER HISTORIC MIDNIGHT VOTING OPTING OUT THIS YEAR?

WELL, HART’S LOCATION HAS ABOUT 75 VOTERS AND THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN DO THE MIDNIGHT VOTING AND ANNOUNCE IT IS 100% OF THE VOTERS VOTE. SO I’M NOT SURE THEY OPTED OUT WILLINGLY. THEY JUST MAY NOT HAVE HAD ALL OF THE AVAILABLE. BUT I THINK IT’S A GREAT TRADITION.

I MEAN, I STAYED UP, WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT. I KNOW SOME OF THOSE SIX PEOPLE AND I DO KNOW THAT THE HALEY CAMPAIGN DID GO TO DIXVILLE NOTCH AND OUT AND CAMPAIGN FOR THOSE FOLKS. AND SO THAT’S THAT’S JUST GREAT RETAIL GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNING. BUT AGAIN, IT’S ONLY SIX VOTES.

BUT IT’S A GREAT TRADITION AND WE LOVE IT. HOW DO YOU THINK RON DESANTIS DROPPING OUT COULD INFLUENCE THE RACE TODAY? I THINK THE SAFEST VOTERS AND HAVE SPLIT SOME OF THEM ARE VERY CLOSELY WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE OF POLICIES THE OTHER PEOPLE WERE WITH DESANTIS BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT TO BE

WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. SO I THINK THEY ARE SPLIT MAYBE ON 30 GO. TRUMP WON ALIEN ONE THIRD BASE STAY HOME OR DRILLING. RON DESANTIS BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY LOYAL TO HIM PERSONALLY. SO I THINK IT’S A MIXED BAG. SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR AS THE RESULTS START COMING IN?

>> SO THE FIRST RESULTS THAT WE’RE GOING TO LOOK, SOME OF THE SMALL TOWNS IN HILLSBOROUGH AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTY THERE, THE SUBURBAN BEDROOM COMMUNITIES THAT REPRESENT THE ENTIRE ELECTORATE. SO IF THEY GO ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WE’LL GET A VERY, VERY GOOD INDICATION IMMEDIATELY. AND THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

IS SPLIT FROM THE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE PRIMARIES, SO WE DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT IS FOR JOE BIDEN TO COME IN BEFORE WE ANNOUNCE A REPUBLICAN RACE. SO I’D SAY ABOUT 815, 830, WE’LL GET A VERY GOOD INDICATION WHAT’S HAPPENING. >> AND CHRIS, UNLIKE THE IOWA

CAUCUSES, INDEPENDENT VOTERS CAN VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY TODAY. HOW MUCH OF A ROLE DO YOU THINK PLAY IN THE OUTCOME? >> SO WE’VE HAD THAT RULE IN PLACE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. AND I THINK HAVING THE UNDECLARED TO BE ABLE TO SELECT EITHER BALLOT GIVES A GOOD REPRESENTATION FOR

THE WINNING CANDIDATE THAT THEY APPEAL TO A BROAD SPECTRUM OF THE ELECTORATE, WHICH I THINK IS WHY NEW HAMPSHIRE IS KIND OF A BELLWETHER FOR THE EVENTUAL NOMINEE. WE REPRESENT, AGAIN, A VERY SPECTRUM FROM MODERATE REPUBLICANS ALL THE WAY TO VERY CONSERVATIVE. AND SO WE’VE GOT TO APPEAL TO THAT ENTIRE SPECTRUM.

I THINK IT’S A GOOD THING FOR THE PARTY AND IT’S A GOOD THING FOR DEMOCRACY. >> ALL RIGHT. NEW HAMPSHIRE GOP CHAIR AGAR. CHRIS, THANKS FOR COMING ON. RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC

NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS ARE TEAMING UP TO CAMPAIGN FOR ABORTION RIGHTS IN VIRGINIA. HARRIS WAS IN WISCONSIN YESTERDAY TO MARK WHAT WOULD BEEN THE 51ST ANNIVERSARY OF ROE VERSUS WADE. THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED THE LANDMARK DECISION NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO.

ABC NEWS POLITICAL ASMA KHALID JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. ASMA, ABORTION RIGHTS ARE A TOP ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATS IN THIS ELECTION. SO WHAT’S THE ADMINISTRATION’S MESSAGING TODAY? >> ESSENTIALLY, THEIR MESSAGE IS THAT THE REPUBLICANS, PARTICULARLY EXTREME REPUBLICANS, WOULD PUT A NATIONAL BAN AND WOULD TRY TO FURTHER RESTRICT ABORTION

EVER SINCE THAT DODD’S DECISION CAME DOWN IN 2022. THEY HAVE FUNDAMENTALLY BEEN TRYING TO ARGUE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT ABORTION AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, BUT THAT THIS IS A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND. THAT MESSAGE IS CENTRAL TO HOW JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS INTEND TO CAMPAIGN AHEAD OF 2024.

>> NOW, SINCE THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION, AT LEAST STATES HAVE SEIZED NEARLY ALL ABORTION SERVICES. AND JUST YESTERDAY THE WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCED SOME NEW STEPS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION, ABORTION, MEDICATION AND EMERGENCY ABORTION CARE. SO WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT THAT INITIATIVE? >> YOU KNOW, JANE, REALLY, THESE ARE SORT OF EFFORTS

ON THE MARGINS. I THINK THERE’S A RECOGNITION, EVEN FROM THE REALISTS WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT THERE IS FUNDAMENTALLY LIMITED THAT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH CAN UNILATERALLY TAKE IN THIS MOMENT. AND IT’S WHY YOU HEARD PRESIDENT BIDEN YESTERDAY CALL AGAIN ON LAWMAKERS TO WORK TO TRY TO CODIFY ROE VERSUS

WADE AND PUT THOSE ABORTION INTO LAW. OF COURSE, THAT IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN GIVEN THE CURRENT MAKEUP OF CONGRESS. BUT WHAT THIS WHITE HOUSE SAYS IS IF THERE IS BIDEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, HE WILL ENSURE THAT AT A MINIMUM NO NATIONAL BAN IS PUT FORTH THAT SOME REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS

HAVE SUGGESTED THEY WANT. LOOK, I MEAN, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, THE WHITE HOUSE HAS TRIED TO ENSURE THAT CONTRACEPTION REMAINS AVAILABLE, THAT IN SOME CASES WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO CROSS STATE LINES WITHOUT PENALTY TO RECEIVE AN ABORTION. BUT THESE ARE ALL REALLY EFFORTS ON THE MARGIN WHEN, AS YOU SAY, A NUMBER STATE

OF STATES HAVE NOW INSTITUTED FURTHER ABORTION RESTRICTIONS SINCE SINCE THAT 2022 SUPREME COURT DECISION. >> HOW CRITICAL IS THIS ISSUE AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF BIDEN HARRIS HOLDING THIS EVENT ON THE DAY OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY? I THINK THAT IS EXTREMELY POIGNANT. NOT AN ACCIDENT BY ANY MEASURE.

I MEAN, DEMOCRATS THAT I SPEAK WITH ARE VERY CLEAR EYED ABOUT THE POLICY ISSUE THAT BROUGHT DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OUT TO THE POLLS CONSISTENTLY SINCE THAT 2022 DECISION HAS BEEN ABORTION. IF YOU LOOK AT EVERY STATE WHERE THE ISSUE OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS HAS BEEN PUT DIRECTLY TO VOTERS SINCE THE JOBS

DECISION, WHEN THAT HAS GONE DIRECTLY TO VOTERS, VOTERS HAVE OVERWHELMINGLY CHOSEN TO EXPAND OR PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS. THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT DEMOCRATS WOULD NECESSARILY WIN ALL THOSE STATES IN ALL THOSE RACES. BUT THIS WHITE HOUSE AND DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVES SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT ABORTION IS PERHAPS THE MOST COMPELLING ISSUE TO GALVANIZE VOTERS AHEAD

OF 2024. AND YOU’VE EVEN HEARD SOME DEMOCRATIC ALLIES SUGGEST THAT THEY WANT TO SEE THE PRESIDENT DIRECTLY HIMSELF ,SPEAK MORE BLUNTLY ABOUT ABORTION. AND THAT’S WHY WE’RE GOING TO SEE HIM TODAY. ALL RIGHT, ASMA KHALID, THANK YOU, ASMA. MY PLEASURE. COMING UP, MORE REACTION TO THIS MORNING’S OSCAR NOMINATIONS.

FROM DES MOINES, IOWA. >> I’M ALEX PRESHA WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THE NOMINEES FOR THE 96 ACADEMY AWARDS ARE IN. OPPENHEIMER LEADS THE PACK WITH 13 NOMINATIONS WITH FOUR THINGS RIGHT BEHIND 11 NOMINATIONS.

ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR KAYNA WHITWORTH IS COVERING IT ALL FOR US IN LOS ANGELES, ALONG WITH VARIETY’S SENIOR AWARDS EDITOR CLAYTON DAVIS. AND ABC’S CHRIS CONNELLY IN NEW YORK. CARTER, ONE OF THE BIGGEST SURPRISES FROM THESE NOMINATIONS. I’M GOING TO START WITH GOOD SURPRISE. HOW ABOUT THAT?

BECAUSE I THINK THERE’S A LOT OF SNUBS THAT. >> WE’LL HAVE TO GO OVER HERE IN A MOMENT. SO I’M GOING TO START WITH A GOOD SURPRISE. AM I GET SURPRISED IS AMERICA FERRERA. SHE A BRIGHT SPOT FOR BARBIE RIGHT NOW IN AN DISAPPOINTING MORNING AND SO SHE IS GETTING A NOMINATION FOR

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE. I THINK THAT SURPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND IN FACT, ENTIRE CATEGORY IS INTERESTING TO ME THIS MORNING BECAUSE DANIELLE BROOKS ALSO GETTING A NOMINATION THERE FOR THE COLOR PURPLE. >> AND THAT MAY BE THE ONLY NOMINATION THAT WE SEE FOR THAT MOVIE, ALTHOUGH IN THAT

CATEGORY, BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS, DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH REALLY, I THINK, HAS THAT LOCKED UP FOR THE HOLDOVERS. BUT ALSO WHEN WE LOOK AT LEAD ACTRESS, THERE’S ALSO SOME HISTORY BEING MADE JUST IN THESE NOMINATIONS, WHICH I THINK IS FASCINATING. LILY GLADSTONE BECOMES THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN TO BE NOMINATED IN THAT CATEGORY.

>> AND THEN ALSO STONE NOW BECOMES THE SECOND WOMAN TO BE NOMINATED FOR ACTING AND BEST PICTURE FOR THE SAME FILM. FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF FRANCES MCDORMAND NOTABLY LEFT OUT OF THAT CATEGORY IS MARGOT ROBBIE THIS MORNING. >> ALL RIGHT SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE LEAD ACTOR AND ACTRESS.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NOMINEES? WELL, I LOVE LEAD ACTOR CATEGORY. WE HAVE REALLY VERY TIGHT CATEGORY TO GET ALL THESE GREAT PERFORMANCES THAT WE HAD THIS YEAR. BUT WE HAVE COLMAN DOMINGO THERE FOR RUSTIN. IT IS HE IS THE FIRST OPENLY LGBTQ PERSON TO BE NOMINATED FOR LGBTQ CHAHARACTER,

ALONG WITH JODIE FOSTER IN SUPPORTING ACTRESS FOR NIGHT. ABSOLUTELY. A HUGE MOMENT FOR LGBTQ AT THE ACADEMY. ALSO, COLMAN DOMINGO IS. >> AFRO-LATINO NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTOR AND ALSO JUST THE SECOND TIME IN HISTORY THAT WE HAVE TWO BLACK MEN NOMINATED BEST ACTOR DOMINGO AND JEFFREY. >> RIGHT? THAT EITHER OF THEM WASN’T

DENZEL WASHINGTON OR WILL SMITH SHOWING THAT WE HAVE MORE TALENT IN THIS WORLD THAN WE HAVE IN HOLLYWOOD. AND I LOVE BRADLEY COOPER’S NOMINATION, THIS IS HIS 10TH, 11TH AND 12TH NOMINATION CAREER. >> STILL WON AN OSCAR. >> AND THEN WE HAVE PAUL GIAMATTI THERE FOR THE HOLDOVERS, JUST A GUY

THAT EVERYONE LOVES. >> NO. WANTS TO BE. >> PAUL GIAMATTI WINS AN OSCAR, WAY OVERDUE FOR ONE. >> IT WAS ACTUALLY A REALLY GREAT MOMENT TO SEE HEAR HIS NAME CALLED, BUT YOU CAN’T GO WRONG TYPE CATEGORY. >> YEAH, CHRIS KIND OF MENTIONED MARGOT ROBBIE NOT GETTING THE LOOK FOR LEAD ACTRESS.

>> ANY OTHER MAJOR SNUBS STICK OUT TO YOU. WELL, I THINK THERE’S ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY IN THIS PARTICULAR AWARDS ROUND HERE. YOU SAW THE ANOTHER DICAPRIO NOT GET NOMINATED. I WANTED TO SEE ANDREW SCOTT GET NOMINATED FOR. BEST ACTOR. THAT’S SIGNIFICANT. GRETA GERWIG AND ALEXANDER PAYNE EACH GETTING PASSED OVER

IN BEST DIRECTOR. BUT THEIR MOVIES DID REALLY WELL. YOU’D HAVE SAY JUST TREE IS THE ONLY WOMAN NOMINATED IN BEST DIRECTOR AS A RESULT AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THREE BEST PICTURE NOMINEES ARE EACH NOMINATED BY A GROUP OR EACH DIRECTED BY A WOMAN. AND THAT’S A FIRST.

SO WHILE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SNUBS HERE AND THERE, I DON’T THINK BARBIE HAS THAT BAD A MORNING, EIGHT NOMINATIONS IN ALL. YOU KNOW, RYAN GOSLING IS IN THEIR TWO BEST SONG NOMINATIONS. THAT FILM IS STILL WELL-REPRESENTED FOR THE FANS THAT LOVE IT. >> I THINK SO KIND OF.

HOW IS THAT RACE FOR BEST PICTURE LOOKING? WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, OPPENHEIMER HAD A HUGE MORNING WITH THOSE 13 NOMINATIONS. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVING THAT. BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, POOR THINGS REALLY COMING IN HERE WITH 11 AND THEN KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON WITH TEN.

BUT I TELL YOU WHAT, I THINK YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR AMERICAN FICTION AS WE MOVE FORWARD HERE. >> I THINK CLAYTON, THE GREAT. >> YOU SHOULD BE BASED ON GARY MUSLIMS IN AMERICA. IT IS SUCH A IT’S SUCH A GREAT MOVIE, A COMEDY, AGAIN, MAKING

IT AND AT THE OSCARS, GREAT. SEE, BUT CORD JEFFERSON, I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS HIS FIRST MOVIE. HE’S INCREDIBLY HE’S AN INCREDIBLE FILMMAKER, INCREDIBLE SCREENWRITER. BUT I’M INTERESTED HERE WITH KILLERS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE GOT TEN NOMINATIONS. MARTIN SCORSESE, HIS LAST MOVIE RECEIVED TEN NOMINATIONS. THE IRISHMAN AND GANGS OF NEW

YORK BOTH WENT HOME EMPTY HANDED. I DON’T LIKE THAT NUMBER. I THINK LILY GLADSTONE IN THE IN THE RUNNING FOR THINGS ALSO NOT IN THE RUNNING FOR A LOT OF OSCARS AT THE MOMENT, BUT THERE’S TWO MOVIES IN HISTORY THAT LOST 11 OSCARS, THE COLOR PURPLE AND THE TURNING POINT.

SO I’M INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT AND MANY FILMS ACTUALLY WIN. ASPECTS OF THIS LOOKS LIKE AN OPPENHEIMER NIGHT. NONETHELESS, IT MIGHT WIN LIKE UPWARDS OF 910 OSCARS. I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE A SWEEPER IT WAS THAT GOT THE STATS CLAYTON GET PREPARED YOU LOOK BACK HISTORY HERE

CHRIS I KNOW YOU SPOKE TO SOME OF THE NOMINEES HOWARD THEY REACTING WELL. >> BILLIE EILISH AND FINNEAS WERE OVER THE MOON. BILLIE EILISH STILL IN BED, I THINK, WITH THE COVERS PULLED UP OVER HER HEAD AS SHE LEARNED THAT SHE’D BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR FOR THE SECOND TIME.

AND WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY SONG. I MEAN, A SONG THAT REALLY CAPTURES THE FALL AND THE BARBIES EMOTIONAL JOURNEY, I GUESS SO INTIMATE, SO PERSONAL AND YET TOUCHING ON A DOLL THAT MEANT SO MUCH IN PEOPLE’S LIVES. FASCINATING IN SO MANY WAYS. SHE WAS THRILLED. AND SO WE SEE JEFFREY, THAT’S

BEEN A PHENOMENAL CAREER FOR HIM AS AS CLAYTON WAS SORT OF TO. AND IT’S AMAZING THAT HE GETS HIS FIRST BEST ACTOR NOMINATION ,AMERICAN FICTION. >> SO THAT’S EXCITING. AND WELL, THE DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH MY GOODNESS AND FAVORITE PROBABLY IN THAT BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS CATEGORY. SHE JUST OFF A PLANE FROM PARIS.

>> THAT’S THE WAY YOU WANT TO PASS THROUGH CUSTOMS. I’D SAY. YEAH, YEAH. MAYBE THE ONLY TIME SOMEONE WAS SMILING DOING THAT ABC IS CHRIS CONNELLY ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR CAME TO WHITWORTH AND SENIOR AWARDS EDITOR AT “VARIETY” CLAYTON DAVIS. THANK YOU ALL AND BE SURE TO CATCH THE 96TH ACADEMY

THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY. AND IN THE RING, DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY AS THEY FIGHT TO THE FINISH. WE’RE BREAKING DOWN THE STATE OF THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE, FIRING BACK. THE U.S. AND OUR ALLIES LAUNCHING. A MAJOR NEW ATTACK. THEIR TARGET, IRAN BACKED MILITANTS IN YEMEN.

WHAT WE’RE NOW LEARNING ABOUT THE BOLD AND BRAZEN OFFENSIVE AND WATER. TORRENTIAL RAIN PROMPTING FLASH FLOODING, LANDSLIDES, DARING RESCUES. SOME NEIGHBORHOODS NOW URGED TO EVACUATE. THE EXTREME WEATHER LEAVING A PATH OF DESTRUCTION ACROSS CALIFORNIA. AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, DONALD

TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY GET READY TO RUMBLE THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW UNDER WAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND VOTERS ARE PACKING THE POLLS ALL ACROSS THE GRANITE STATE. THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND FORMER GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND U.N. AMBASSADOR. ALREADY THE LAST TWO STANDING FOR THE GOP NOMINATION DESPITE

POLLS TIPPING IN TRUMP’S FAVOR FOR MUCH OF THE RACE. SO FAR, IT HASN’T BEEN A GOOD START IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. HALEY SWEEPING THE FORMER PRESIDENT SIX VOTES TO ZERO IN THE TINY TOWN OF DIXVILLE NOTCH, WHICH COUNTED AND CONTINUES ITS TRADITION OF CASTING RIGHT THERE AT MIDNIGHT, LEADING US OFF

AT THE POLLING BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. ZOHREEN SHAH SO, ZURI, WHAT ARE HEARING FROM VOTERS AS THEY CAST THEIR VOTES HERE? I’M HEARING A SENSE OF EXHAUSTION AND UNHAPPINESS WITH BOTH PARTIES. I MEAN, YOU’RE AT THIS POLLING AND THEN ALSO WHEN WE SAT DOWN WITH SIX INDEPENDENT VOTERS OVER THE WEEKEND.

TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAID . >> RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU’RE AN VOTER AND CHANGE YOUR MIND. >> ABOUT A DOZEN SO FAR IN 2018. >> PHILLIPS I’M LEANING TOWARDS DEAN PHILLIPS. >> IS JOE BIDEN ABOUT TO GET EMBARRASSED IN THIS STATE ON TUESDAY? I THINK SO.

I SEE ALMOST EVERYONE NODDING. MY VOTE FOR DEAN IS AGAINST BIDEN. >> I MEAN, THAT WAS TO ME AND OUR CREW. I MEAN, WE THOUGHT THAT INDEPENDENT VOTERS MIGHT LEAN TOWARDS HALEY. YOU HEARD THREE PEOPLE ACTUALLY LEANING DEAN PHILLIPS. THERE IS JUST SO MUCH UNHAPPINESS WITH BOTH TRUMP AND BIDEN.

SO HERE WE A STRONG SHOWING IN DIXVILLE NOTCH. BUT YOU KNOW, THOSE RESULTS YOU KNOW, ARE THEY A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF HOW THINGS ACTUALLY PLAY OUT? NO, I MEAN, ABSOLUTELY NOT TIME AROUND. THERE WERE THREE VOTES THAT WENT FOR BLOOMBERG, ONE THAT WENT FOR BERNIE, ONE THAT WENT FOR BUDDY JUDGE.

AND AS YOU KNOW, BERNIE UP WINNING IN THIS STATE. AND THERE WERE ZERO VOTES FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN. HE’S THE ONE WHO ENDED UP WINNING THE NOMINATION. HE WON THE PRESIDENCY. I MEAN, YOU MENTIONED THAT HE ONLY GOT SIX VOTES. WE FORGET HOW MUCH LOYALTY DONALD TRUMP HAS IN THIS STATE

AND, HOW NOT REFLECTIVE THAT IS OF THE STATE. RIGHT. I MEAN, TRUMP FIRST CAME HERE IN 1987. HE WITH A PRESIDENTIAL RUN THEN. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT IS PROBABLY A BETTER SNAPSHOT OF THE STATE THAN THAT. THE SIX PEOPLE WHO VOTED THIS MORNING. ALL RIGHT ZOHREEN SHAH. WE WILL CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION THROUGHOUT

THE DAY AND INTO THE NIGHT, SEE WHERE THINGS GO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MORE. LET’S BRING IN DEMOCRATIC JULIA GASKIN, EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REVIEW, RAMESH PONNURU. SO, RAMESH, LET LET’S TALK THE DIXVILLE NOTCH. MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE. THERE’S ALWAYS A LOT OF HEADLINES AROUND THAT BECAUSE IT’S A LOT OF FUN.

AND HALEY DIDN’T WIN IN A LANDSLIDE. BUT LOOK, WE’RE ONLY TALKING SIX VOTES, SO IT’S NOT NECESSARILY ANY TYPE OF PREDICTION HERE. SO LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT FOR A MINUTE, THOUGH. DO YOU THINK THAT SHE HAS ANY CHANCE TO PULL OFF AN UPSET IN NEW HAMPSHIRE? WELL YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE

POLLING HAS BEEN SUGGESTING THAT SHE IS NOT GOING TO WIN. BUT THERE’S BEEN JUST THERE’S BEEN JUST ENOUGH POSITIVE THINGS FOR HER TO CREATE A GLIMMER OF HOPE AND. I’M SURE THAT THAT IS WHAT EVERYBODY IS BANKING ON IN HALEY CAMP RIGHT NOW. >> OKAY. A GLIMMER OF HOPE. ALL RIGHT.

WE’RE GOING TO WE’RE GOING TO HOLD ON TO THAT AND TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. JULIE PRESIDENT BIDEN ISN’T ON THE BALLOT, THOUGH, IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. DO THINK THAT THAT’S GOING TO HELP OR HURT HIM? >> WELL, IT’S NOT HELPING THAT HE’S NOT OUT THERE CAMPAIGNING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

PHILLIPS SEEMS TO HAVE PARKED HIMSELF IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WITH AN ABSENCE OF AN INCUMBENT PRESIDENT TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST. >> BUT LOOK, JOE BIDEN HAS NEVER WON NEW HAMPSHIRE. HE’S RUN FOR PRESIDENT SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING THE LAST TIME WHEN HE DIDN’T WIN. HE’S GOING TO GO TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND HE’S GOING

TO CLEAN UP DOWN THERE. AND I AND I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE THE END OF THAT. I DON’T KNOW THAT DEEP PHILLIPS WANTS SPEND THE REST OF THE MONEY THAT HE’S GOT PERSONALLY VERY WEALTHY FOLLOWING THE PRESIDENT AROUND IN STATE OF STATE. BUT NEW HAMPSHIRE IS NOT DISPOSITIVE TO THE PRIMARY

IN THIS ELECTION AT ALL FOR EITHER PARTY. >> I WOULD SAY. >> SO, RAMESH, WIN OR LOSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, HALEY SAYS IT’S NOT GOING TO BE GAME OVER FOR HER. SO DO YOU SEE HER LASTING UNTIL THE PRIMARY IN HER HOME? >> I THINK IT DOES MATTER FOR

HER CAMPAIGN IF SHE CAN SOMEHOW PULL OUT A WIN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, I THINK THAT GIVES HER SOME SUPPORT GOING INTO HER HOME STATE. BUT YOU KNOW, GETTING TO JULIE’S POINT ABOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE NOT BEING DISPOSITIVE. >> IF SHE SUFFERS A DEFEAT, ESPECIALLY A REALLY MASSIVE DEFEAT IN HER OWN HOME STATE

THAT SHE WAS GOVERNOR OF. >> THAT’S PRETTY HARD TO RECOVER FROM. >> ALL THE SIGNS SUGGEST THAT WE ARE GOING BE LOOKING AT A BIDEN TRUMP REMATCH IN 2024. WHETHER OR NOT THAT MAKES THEM ALL THE AMERICANS WHO ARE NOT IN THE BASES, THE PARTY HAPPY. >> SO JULIE, HOW DO YOU SEE

A BIDEN TRUMP REMATCH? >> WHAT’S THAT? WHO’S SON MEET THE NEW BOSS, SAME AS THE OLD BOSS. >> IT’S THE SAME REASON. NOW WE’RE GETTING IT WHETHER PEOPLE WANT IT OR NOT. AND ULTIMATELY, LOOK, THIS ELECTION IS GOING BE ONE ON THE MARCH STRAIGHT. AS IS RAMESH POINTED OUT,

THE BASES HAVE SOLIDIFIED. THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY VOTERS WHO CAN BE SWAYED ANYMORE. OPINIONS OF BOTH THESE MEN HAVE BEEN CONGEALED FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THEY’VE BOTH BEEN IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN FOR FOR MANY YEARS NOW. >> AND SO THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE ON THE MARGINS.

AND WE’RE GETTING THE RACE WE ARE GOING TO GET WHETHER ANY OF US WANTS IT OR NOT. >> OKAY. GLIMMER OF HOPE VERSUS NO GLIMMER OF HOPE. I’M READING BETWEEN THE TEA LEAVES BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU. LET’S SEE WHO NAILS IT. WE’LL BRING YOU BACK. RAMESH, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH.

AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. SO LET’S HEAD OVER TO THE RISING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. NOW, THE PENTAGON SAYS THAT U.S. AND BRITISH FORCES LAUNCHED ANOTHER MAJOR AIR AND MISSILE ATTACK IN YEMEN

TARGETING, THE IRAN BACKED HOUTHIES. THE REBELS CONTINUED ATTACKS ON COMMERCIAL SHIPS. THE RED SEA THIS TIME STRIKING AN UNDERGROUND HOUTHI STORAGE LOCATION AND DRONE AND MISSILE SITES. YEMEN NOW WARNING THAT THESE NEW ATTACKS WILL NOT GO UNANSWERED AND UNPUNISHED. IT’S COMES AS DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN MADE HIS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE SINCE

HIS HOSPITALIZATION FOR PROSTATE CANCER. YOU CAN SEE HIM RIGHT THERE FROM D.O.D.. LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR PENTAGON REPORTER, MARTINEZ, FOR MORE. WHY DON’T WE GO AHEAD AND START WITH THESE AIRSTRIKES. YOU KNOW, HAVE THEY BEEN EFFECTIVE IN ANY WAY BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ROUND OF STRIKES AND HOUTHIS KEEP

ATTACKING. IT’S BEEN MORE THAN 12 DAYS, KYRA, SINCE WE’VE SEEN THE START OF THESE U.S. AIRSTRIKES AGAINST U.S. TARGETS LAST NIGHT. AND ON THE FIRST NIGHT, IT WAS THE UNITED STATES AND THE UNITED KINGDOM LAUNCHING THESE COORDINATED AIRSTRIKES AGAINST MAJOR TARGETS. THE OTHER ONES HAVE BEEN MORE RETALIATORY, SMALL SCALE.

BUT THE U.S. OFFICIALS WHO WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO TELLING US THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THESE ATTACKS, THESE RETALIATORY STRIKES ARE HAVING AN IMPACT ON DEGRADING THE HOUTHIS ABILITY TO CARRY OUT THESE ATTACKS ON SHIPPING IN THE RED SEA, THE GULF OF ADEN. BUT, OF COURSE, WE’RE NOT SEEING THAT DECREASE YET.

AND ANSWER THAT WE GET FROM OFFICIALS IS THAT WE FULLY ANTICIPATED THAT THE HOUTHIS WOULD CONTINUE TO ATTACK, THOUGH WHAT YOU’RE SEEING IS ON A MUCH SMALLER SCALE. THAT’S THE ARGUMENT THAT THEY’RE MAKING. SO I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE THIS CONTINUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AT LEAST UNTIL

THE HOUTHIS DO STOP IN CASE THEY REALLY STOP. AND IF THEY STILL STILL KEEP GOING AFTER THESE CRUCIAL TRADING ROUTES, IT’S GOING TO CONTINUE, COST A LOT OF MONEY AS WELL. ISRAEL SAYING THAT 24 IDF SOLDIERS WERE KILLED IN SOUTHERN GAZA. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT ?

WELL, 24 KILLED IN SEPARATE INCIDENTS. 21 OF THEM DIED IN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT, IF YOU COULD CALL IT THAT. AN RPG, A ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE WAS FIRED IN THE VICINITY OF A BUILDING THAT HAD JUST BEEN WIRED FOR DEMOLITION. AND THERE WERE TROOPS INSIDE THE BULK OF THOSE TROOPS INSIDE.

AND THEN THAT THE EXPLOSION FROM THAT RPG CAUSED A DOMINO EFFECT, IF YOU WILL, ESSENTIALLY COLLAPSING THAT BUILDING IN ALL OF THE 21 SOLDIERS THAT WERE INSIDE. SO A VERY STRANGE INCIDENT, BUT AGAIN, HIGHLIGHTS THE DANGERS ON BOTH HERE. AGAIN, 25,000 PALESTINIANS ARE BELIEVED TO BE KILLED, HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE

FIGHTING SINCE OCTOBER 7TH. AND WE’VE SEEN THIS. AND AS A RESULT OF THE AIRSTRIKES AND THOSE NUMBERS COMING FROM THE PALESTINIAN HEALTH MINISTRY AND SEVERAL NOW ISRAELI FIGHTERS HAVE ALSO EXCUSE ME, ISRAELI SOLDIERS HAVE ALSO BEEN KILLED. REAL QUICKLY, WE SAW SECRETARY AUSTIN THERE IN THAT ZOOM CALL.

IT’S THE FIRST TIME SINCE HE KEPT HIS HOSPITALIZATION A SECRET. DID HE TALK ABOUT ANY OF THAT? HE DID NOT, KYRA. HE DID. HE WENT STRAIGHT AND STAYED ON THE SUBJECT MATTER AHEAD. THIS WAS A MEETING THAT TAKES PLACE MONTHLY. EITHER OR IN PERSON WITH THE 50 COUNTRIES THAT ARE PROVIDING

MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE. AND IN THIS CASE, HE CHOSE TO DO IT VIRTUALLY NOW FROM THE PENTAGON. BUT WHAT YOU’RE SEEING HERE IS FROM HIS HOME AND OBVIOUSLY HE COULD HAVE MADE A REFERENCE TO IT. HE CHOSE NOT TO, BUT IT SEEMS THAT HE JUST WANTED TO STAY ON TOPIC, WHICH IS UKRAINE

AND THE NEED FOR COUNTRIES, INCLUDING UNITED STATES TO PROVIDE EVEN MORE MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE IN HIS FIGHT AGAINST. >> I’M GLAD YOU POINTED OUT, BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE DOD JUST FROM THE BACKGROUND THERE, BUT ACTUALLY FROM HIS HOME. INTERESTING ALL RIGHT. WE DEFINITELY WANT TO FOLLOW HIS CONDITION, OF COURSE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT. WELL, POWERFUL STORM IS LASHING CALIFORNIA. TORRENTIAL RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. SAN DIEGO UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY AT THIS HOUR. THE CITY PICKING UP MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN LESS 6 HOURS YESTERDAY. HEAVY RAIN ALSO FLOODING ROADS, ROADS THERE, SLICK STREETS MADE

FOR A TREACHEROUS TRAVEL. CONDITIONS IN SOME AREAS. ALSO, HIGH WATER PROMPTING SEVERAL RESCUES IN THE AREA. ONE MAN ACTUALLY CRAWLING THROUGH HIS CAR WINDOW JUST TO ESCAPE THE FLOODING. OUR METEOROLOGIST SOMARA THEODORE IS TRACKING ALL THE EXTREME WEATHER FOR US. SMART. THAT’S MY HOMETOWN. SO I’M FOLLOWING IT CLOSELY.

>> TELL US MORE. I’M SO SORRY, KYRA. YEAH, THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH, AS YOU SAW IN THE VIDEO, JUST TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND WET WEATHER. AND CALIFORNIA’S UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN. BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, THOUGH, OUR NEIGHBORS IN THE GULF, THEY ARE ALSO DEALING WITH ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAIN.

>> SO THIS STORM SYSTEM THAT’S GETTING READY TO MOVE THROUGH. IT’S ALSO DRAWING ON SOME MOISTURE FROM GULF OF MEXICO. COUPLED TOGETHER, WE’RE LOOKING AT THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING. THIS AREA IN RED HERE, INCLUDING SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA. ALEXANDRA AT JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK FOR FLASH IN THE COMING

HOURS THROUGH TODAY INTO TOMORROW. BUT THE WIDER SCOPE SAYS FROM NASHVILLE DOWN TO HOUSTON, OVER TO WACO AND DALLAS, DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS IN MOBILE, ALABAMA, COULD ACTUALLY SEE DAMAGING WINDS AND MAYBE EVEN AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. >> WE SEE SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS ROLL THROUGH WITH THE SYSTEM NOW

ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THIS STORM. WE HAVE WINTRY WEATHER. OKAY. SO WE HAVE THE THREAT FOR SNOW TONIGHT IN UPSTATE NEW YORK THROUGHOUT MUCH OF NEW ENGLAND THERE, EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF ICE WHERE THE RAIN WAS MEETING THE THE STORM SYSTEM IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO FALL APART.

NONETHELESS, CLOSER TO THE LAKES, WE DO HAVE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES IN PLACE. SO THIS STORM SYSTEM STARTS TO BANK OUT OF HERE WEDNESDAY OUT OF THE NORTHEAST, AT LEAST BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. >> THE OTHER BIG HEADLINE HAS BEEN THE TEMPERATURES. WE’VE BEEN WITH FRIGID BRUTAL CONDITIONS. WE COULD REALLY USE BREAK

AND THAT IS ON THE HORIZON. TEMPERATURES IN CHICAGO IN THE LOW FORTIES BY FRIDAY. JACKSONVILLE, UPPER 70S, 68 DEGREES ON FRIDAY IN D.C. AND FINALLY WE SAW THOSE IMAGES COMING OUT OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. BY MID-JANUARY, THEY SHOULD SEE AROUND 1.9 INCHES OF RAIN. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IN 3 HOURS

THEY PICKED UP 2.7, THREE INCHES OF RAIN IN NO TIME FLAT. SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH THIS NEXT, KYRA, WE COULD BE SEEING MORE RAIN FROM SEATTLE DOWN TO SAN FRANCISCO. ALL RIGHT, SOMARA THEODORE THANK YOU SO MUCH. COMING UP, PROSECUTORS SAY THEY GAVE THEIR SON THE GUN.

NOW THE MOTHER OF CONVICTED MASS SHOOTER ETHAN CRUMBLING IS IN COURT. THE PRECEDENT MAY SET NEXT WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS. WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE. >> REPORTING FROM MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING.

>> ABC NEWS LIVE IS THERE AT THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE CONTINUE FOR UKRAINE REPORTING FROM THE EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY, ENROLLING. THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS LITTLE TOWN FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTER IN HAWAII. FROM CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, ON THE 2020 CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN ICELAND.

>> LET’S GO TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN MEXICO CITY WHERE THE STORY IS ON THE FRONT LINES FROM SOUTHERN ISRAEL OUTSIDE THE GAZA STRIP IN BEIRUT, FROM THE FBI REPORTING FROM THE NURSES ON THE PICKET LINE HERE AT TEN DOWNING STREET IN LONDON, STREAMING LIVE TO YOU FOREVER.

THE STORY IS WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE. WE’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE, YOU’RE STREAMING, ABC NEWS LIVE ,ABC NEWS LIVE, STREAMING FREE EVERYWHERE. AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. >> IT’S WORTH ITS TIME IN AMERICA.

SO WHAT ARE YOU SERVING UP? WELL, HOW ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW? YOU KNOW. THAT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD TO YOU HOW YOU KNOW BREAKING NEWS POP CULTURE WITH THE BIGGEST STARS, MUSIC TRENDS AND OF COURSE, GOOD AND “GMA3”. WHAT NEED TO KNOW? A THIRD HOUR OF “GMA” IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO US AFTERNOON FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW I LOVE THAT ME FIRST THING IN THE MORNING THERE’S A LOT GOING ON EVERYBODY IN THAT HOME IS OKAY TO CATCH YOU UP WITH WHAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT WE ARE HERE AT FASHION’S BIGGEST NIGHT OUT. WHAT’S HAPPENING? YOUTUBE HAS UNVEILED A NEW SET

OF POLICIES. WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW AD CAMPAIGN FAST. STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH SOME IN BETWEEN A REAL LIFE BARBIE DREAM HOUSE, A NAME FOR THE WIENERMOBILE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. AMERICA MORNING AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHAT NOW? >> LET ME SAY THAT WHILE

THE EVENING IS YOUNG AND WE DON’T KNOW YET WHAT THE FINAL TALLY WILL BE, I THINK WE KNOW ENOUGH TO SAY WITH SOME CERTAINTY THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE TONIGHT HAS MADE BILL CLINTON THE COMEBACK KID. AS YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THE COMEBACK KID BILL CLINTON IN 1992, SPEAKING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AFTER COMING

IN SECOND IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, CLINTON’S CAMPAIGN GAINED A LOT OF MOMENTUM THAT NIGHT, WHICH HELPED HIM GO ON TO WIN THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION AND LATER THE PRESIDENCY. OUR COVERAGE OF TODAY’S NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY CONTINUES ALL DAY ACROSS THE PLATFORMS HERE ON ABC NEWS. SO A HISTORIC TRIAL BEGINS TODAY IN MICHIGAN.

PROSECUTORS SAY THAT JENNIFER CRUMBLY GAVE HER SON ACCESS TO A GUN. NOW SHE’S IN COURT FACING FOUR COUNTS OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER AFTER. HER SON, ETHAN CRUMBLY, OPENED FIRE AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL, KILLING FOUR PEOPLE AND WOUNDING SEVERAL OTHERS. >> JENNIFER, SON WAS JUST 15 YEARS OLD WHEN HE CARRIED

OUT THAT MASS SHOOTING IN 2021. ETHAN HAS SINCE BEEN SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE. PROSECUTORS SAY HIS PARENTS DIDN’T TELL OFFICIALS THAT ETHAN HAD ACCESS TO THAT GUN WHEN THEY WERE CALLED TO SCHOOL. AND A SPECIAL MEETING ABOUT RED FLAGS AND THEIR SON’S BEHAVIOR

JUST HOURS BEFORE THE SHOOTING TOOK PLACE. NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE PARENTS HAVE EVER BEEN CHARGED IN WITH A SCHOOL SHOOTING. OUR LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR CHANNA LLOYD HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE CASE. SO ONE OF THE MOST STUNNING PIECES OF EVIDENCE CLEARLY WITHIN THIS WAS HOW ETHAN ACQUIRED THE GUN

THAT HE USED COMMIT THAT MASS SHOOTING. I MEAN, THE GUN CAME FROM HIS PARENTS. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS HISTORICAL TRIAL AND JUST THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THAT BOTH PARENTS FACE NOW, CHANNA? WELL, KYRA, THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO SET A PRECEDENT, IF THERE IS ANY OF A CONVICTION ON THESE CHARGES, BECAUSE

WHAT THEY’RE ESSENTIALLY ALLEGING THAT THE PARENTS WERE RESPONSIBLE, THEY SAW AN OBVIOUS RISK THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF AND THAT THEY TOOK NO ACTION. THAT IS WHAT THE STATE IS ALLEGING THEY’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR. >> SO THAT’S A VERY HIGH BAR. AND WE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE IN ANY OTHER MASS SHOOTINGS.

SO IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS TRIAL GOES FORWARD. >> SO WHAT DO PARENTS FACE? COULD BE? COULD THEY BE IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES ALONG THEIR SON? >> EACH ONE OF THESE COUNTS OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CARRIES A POSSIBLE SENTENCE UP TO 15 YEARS.

SO WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT 60 YEARS IN PRISON POTENTIALLY. SO IT’S VERY SIGNIFICANT TIME FOR THESE CHARGES. >> SO LAWYERS HAVE APPEALED HIS LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE SENTENCE. WHAT DO YOU THINK STRATEGY IS HERE? AND WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN? >> SO THEY’RE APPEALING THIS BECAUSE OF ONE HIS AGE,

THEY’RE STATING OTHER MITIGATING FACTORS THAT THE SENTENCE SHOULDN’T BE THIS EXTENSIVE. THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE A VERY UPHILL BATTLE. >> BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE THAT REDUCED. >> ALL RIGHT, CHANNA LLOYD. WE’LL KEEP FOLLOWING CLEARLY THE DEVELOPMENTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO DAY. THANK YOU.

SO COULD GEORGES FANI WILLIS BE REMOVED FROM PROSECUTING DONALD TRUMP? WELL, A JUDGE HAS JUST UNSEALED A DIVORCE CASE THAT COULD IMPACT THE STATE’S ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE AGAINST THE FORMER. NOW, THE EMBATTLED FULTON COUNTY D.A. COULD BE FORCED TESTIFY IN HER TOP PROSECUTORS DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS AFTER FACING ALLEGATIONS OF AN

IMPROPER RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AFTER HIRING HIM. SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT STEVE OSUNSAMI AS THE LATEST FROM ATLANTA. >> IT’S THE MESSY DIVORCE THAT THREATENS TO STAIN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, PROSECUTION OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, WHERE THE WIFE OF FORMER PROSECUTOR NATHAN WADE IS ACCUSING HIM OF CHEATING WITH HIS BOSS, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

>> WE’RE STICKING THAT POSITION AND HER INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AS THE ALLEGED OF CLIENT. I’M SURE THAT IS IN YOUR DECISION MAKING FOR ALL OF US. HOWEVER, I HAVE QUESTIONS AND SHE ANSWERED THAT THE JUDGE DECIDED THAT FANI WILLIS WON’T NEED TO TESTIFY JUST YET. BUT HE AGREED TO UNSEAL

THE DIVORCE AND LET THE PUBLIC SEE THE RECEIPTS FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES TO SAN FRANCISCO AND TO FLORIDA WITH CREDIT STATEMENTS THAT SHOW THAT FANI WILLIS WAS, AT THE VERY MINIMUM, HIS TRAVEL COMPANION. >> WILLIS HIRED HIM AS A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO LEAD THE CASE AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND HIS ALLIES

WHO ARE ACCUSED OF TRYING TO OVERTURN ELECTION RESULTS IN GEORGIA. AND HE’S ALREADY EARNED NEARLY $700,000. COUNTY LAWMAKERS ARE CONCERNED AND HAVE NOW SENT HIS BOSS THIS LETTER REQUIRING CONFIRMATION OF WHETHER COUNTY FUNDS PROVIDED FOR THE OPERATION OF YOUR OFFICE AND ITS PROSECUTORIAL FUNCTION WERE USED IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER.

>> THE ONLY PUBLIC COMMENTS, WILLIS HAS MADE ON THE MATTER WERE AT A CHURCH SERVICE EARLIER THIS MONTH WHERE SHE THAT THIS WAS YET ANOTHER TARGET AGAINST HER BECAUSE OF COLOR. >> HOW HE GOT THE SAME BLACK MAN I WHAT ACCEPTABLE WHEN A REPUBLICAN IN ANOTHER TOWN IN PATERSON.

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE WHITE MALE REPUBLICANS LIKE ME BUT THE BLACK MALE DEMOCRAT NOT. >> BUT NOW A NEW VIDEO IS MAKING THE ROUNDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA OF THE PROSECUTOR ON A TALK SHOW IN 2020 WHEN SHE WAS CAMPAIGNING FOR HER VERY OFFICE ,WHERE SHE SAID THAT IN HER

ADMINISTRATION SHE WOULD NOT DATING ANYONE ON THE STAFF. >> I THINK THAT WHAT SENSE? I’M REALLY, REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT YOU IF YOU CHOSE TO INAPPROPRIATE CONTACT WITH AN EMPLOYEE. >> IT WAS THE LAWYER FOR ONE OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S CODEFENDANTS, MIKE ROMAN, WHO HIGHLIGHTED AFFAIR ACCUSATIONS FROM NATHAN WADE’S

WIFE AND ASKED JUDGE TO DISMISS THEIR CASE. CAROL. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE RICO CASE AGAINST DONALD AND HIS 18 OTHER CO-DEFENDANTS WHO PLEADED NOT GUILTY LAST REMAINS UNCLEAR FOR THEM TO PLEA DEALS IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR TESTIMONY AGAINST SOME OF THE OTHER DEFENDANTS. THERE’S A HEARING IN THE

I DIDN’T ASK WARREN TO PULL OUT. I DIDN’T ASK FOR VEGAS TO PULL OUT. NOBODY. BUT WE HAVE GREAT SUPPORT. AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT PULLED OUT HAVE ALREADY SUPPORTED ME. SO IT’S ACTUALLY QUITE NICE. BUT I’M VERY HONORED BY THIS. YOU KNOW, WE EXPECTED TO COME HERE.

AND WHO WOULD THINK YOU’D HAVE A CROWD LIKE YOU? >> EVERYBODY HAS. AND THAT IS PEOPLE ON THE INJUSTICE THAT YOU’RE EXPERIENCING. AND A BIG CONCERN THAT THE ELECTION THE THEY TRY TO STEAL IT AGAIN IN 2024. WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY. I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE

THAT QUESTION BECAUSE IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION. MORE IMPORTANT THAN MOST PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE HONEST AND FREE ELECTIONS AND STRONG BORDERS. IF WE DON’T HAVE BORDERS AND ELECTIONS, WE DON’T HAVE A COUNTRY. AND YOU SEE WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE BORDER. THERE’S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING

LIKE IT ON THE BORDER. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY ILLEGALLY, AND MANY COME FROM PRISONS, COME FROM JAILS. THEY’RE TERRORISTS. NOBODY’S EVER IT. THEY COME FROM. BY THE WAY, I SAW A REPORT THIS MORNING. THEY’RE COMING IN FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY’RE POURING IN.

AND IT MAKES SENSE. WHY WOULD SOMEBODY RUNNING A COUNTRY WHERE IT COSTS SO MUCH MONEY, WHY WOULD THEY KEEP THE PEOPLE THEY’RE DUMPING THEM INTO COUNTRY MENTAL INSTITUTIONS, JAILS AND PRISONS THEY’RE COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY. AND A LOT OF TERRORISTS ARE COMING IN THIS IS REALLY BAD. I HEARD SOMEBODY YESTERDAY SAY

100% HAPPEN TO BE SEAN HANNITY. DID YOU EVER HEAR OF HANNITY? HE SAID 100% CERTAIN THAT THERE’LL BE SOME HORRIBLE ACTS, TERROR ACTS. AND THAT’S THE ANSWER TO 100% TO 100%. THE COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY, IT’S 100% CHANGE, AND WE HAVE TO HAVE FAIR ELECTIONS. THANK YOU FOR THIS.

YOU’LL HEAR WE TALK GREAT ALL THE TIME ABOUT EQUAL PAY TAXES, WHAT’S GOING AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER. IT’S A HUGE ISSUE HERE IN THE NORTHERN BORDER IS BAD, TOO. IT’S GETTING BAD. IT’S GETTING BETTER. BUT NOW IT’S — IT’S LIGHTING UP BECAUSE IT’S SO EASY. THEY DON’T HAVE TO COME HERE IT IS.

YOU HAVE TO WATCH BOTH BORDERS AND YOU HAVE TO WATCH FLY INS. YOU HAVE TO WATCH EVERYTHING. BUT THE SOUTHERN BORDER IS LIKE NOBODY’S EVER SEEN. BUT THE NORTHERN BORDER IS BAD YOU. THEY HAVE DONE A TERRIBLE JOB. AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS I BELIEVE IT’S ONE

OF THE WORST TRAGEDY EVER TO BEFORE OUR COUNTRY. I REALLY DO. I THINK IT’S ONE OF THE GREAT TRAGEDY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY WHAT THEY’VE DONE, EVEN VERY STUPID, WHICH I DON’T BELIEVE THEY ARE, OR THEY HATE OUR COUNTRY. IT CAN BE NOTHING ELSE. YEAH, VERY STUPID OF THE

COUNTRY TO ALLOW MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY TO CHECK TOTALLY UNVETTED. >> IT’S — IT’S NOT EVEN AND IT’S THE BIGGEST ISSUE NOW, YOU KNOW THE ECONOMY WAS BIG AND IT’S LIKE SO BIG. BUT THIS I THINK THE BORDER ISSUE NOW IS THE GREATEST BORDER.

>> THE SAFEST BORDER OF IN RECORD IN RECORDED HISTORY. >> AND WAS THREE YEARS AGO. >> NOW WE HAVE WORSE. I THINK WE HAVE THE WORST BORDER ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. >> NEVER HAD A BORDER LIKE THIS DO TONIGHT OR TODAY GOING TO THOSE POLLS.

THEY MIGHT DECIDED BETWEEN YOU AND THOSE VOTERS. WELL, I LOOK LIKE IF THEY WANT A GREAT COUNTRY, IF THEY WANT A COUNTRY WHERE WE SAY MAKE GREAT AGAIN, THERE’S NOTHING LIKE IT, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, THAT’S ALL YOU HAVE TO WE ARE MAKING AMERICA GREAT. WE HAD WE HAD THIS GOING SO WELL.

AND LOOK AT THE WORLD. THE WORLD IS BLOWING UP, TOO. WE HAD NO WARS. RUSSIA WOULD HAVE NEVER INVADED UKRAINE. NOTHING. ALL THIS ISRAEL WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ATTACKED, NEVER. REMEMBER THIS IRAN WAS BROKE. THEY HAD NO MONEY YOU KNOW WHY THEY HAD NO MONEY? BECAUSE THEY SAID TO OTHER

COUNTRIES, YOU CAN’T DEAL THEM UNTIL WE MAKE A DEAL. AND WE WOULD HAVE HAD DEAL WITH IN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE ELECTION WITH IRAN. IRAN SPREADING MONEY ALL OVER. AND LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING. WE’RE BOMBING THE MIDDLE EAST AGAIN NOW. WE’RE GOING BACK INTO THE MIDDLE EAST. WE’RE BOMBING THE HELL OUT

OF THE MIDDLE EAST. AND IT’S HAVING NO IMPACT. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THEY DON’T RESPECT BIDEN. THEY DON’T RESPECT HIM. THEY NO LONGER RESPECT OUR COUNTRY. IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT VIKTOR ORBAN, THE PRIME MINISTER OF HUNGARY, SAID, HE SAID, BRING TRUMP BACK. EVERYTHING WORKED. WHEN TRUMP WAS THERE.

SO I APPRECIATE THE TURNOUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. WHAT YOU’RE SEEING IS THAT FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP DECIDED TO SHOW UP A SURPRISE APPEARANCE THERE AT A LONDON, VERY NEW HAMPSHIRE POLLING PLACE. AND THIS VERY MUCH REMINDS ME OF COVERING THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE. AND HE WOULD COME OUT FOR

ARRIVALS OR DEPARTURE IS THERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND OTHER LOCATIONS. HE HE LOVES A CROWD HE LOVES TO TALK WITH REPORTERS. THE PROBLEM IS YOU THROW QUESTIONS HIM AND A LOT OF TIMES HE THROWS THINGS OUT THAT JUST AREN’T SIMPLY TRUE. HE IMMEDIATELY STARTED GOING IN TO TALKING ABOUT THE BORDER

AND, YOU KNOW, THE BORDER IS A BIG CONCERN. HE WANTS FAIR ELECTIONS, WANTS STRONG BORDERS, AND THAT IS 100% CERTAIN THAT TERRORIST ATTACKS GOING TO HAPPEN IF WE DON’T SEAL THE BORDERS. IT’S JUST FLAT, NOT TRUE. BUT THIS IS WHAT HE DOES. HE COMES OUT, HE SAYS WHAT HE

WANTS DO AND WE HAVE TO FACT CHECK THEM. BUT BOTTOM LINE IS, HE CLEARLY SEES THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE MAY POSSIBLY BE AT STAKE, MAYBE UP AGAINST NIKKI HALEY, BECAUSE HE’S SHOWING UP AND DOING HIS THING AND LOOKING FOR ATTENTION AND GRABBING THE HEADLINES. HE ALWAYS DOES. AND IT’LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE

HOW THIS PLAYS OUT IN THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY THAT’S NOW UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AS VOTERS ARE STARTING TO PACK THE POLLS ACROSS THE GRANITE STATE. YOU CAN SEE THEM RIGHT THERE AS THEY THROW QUESTIONS TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT. ALL RIGHT. TAKE A QUICK BREAK. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK.

>> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START DAY HERE FROM ABC NEWS? THIS IS “START HERE” TO BE THE NEWS AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY. SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST WITH FOUR EDWARD R

MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO. YOU STARTE. ABC NEWS, MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. >> NOW, THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE RIGHT NOW. ABC NEWS LIVE.

BATTLE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS HEADING TO THE POLLS FOR THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY AND IN THE RING DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY AS THEY FIGHT TO THE FINISH. WE’RE BREAKING DOWN THE STATE OF RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE, FIRING BACK. THE U.S. AND OUR ALLIES LAUNCHING A MAJOR NEW ATTACK.

THEIR TARGET, IRAN BACKED MILITANTS IN YEMEN. WHAT WE’RE NOW LEARNING ABOUT THE BOLD AND BRAZEN OFFENSIVE. AND UNDER WATER, TORRENTIAL RAIN PROMPTING FLASH FLOODING, LANDSLIDES AND DARING RESCUES. SOME NEIGHBORHOODS NOW URGED TO EVACUATE. EXTREME WEATHER LEAVING A PATH OF DESTRUCTION ACROSS CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA. AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY GET READY TO RUMBLE. THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND VOTERS ARE PACKING THE POLLS ALL ACROSS THE GRANITE STATE. THE FORMER AND FORMER GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND U.N. AMBASSADOR.

ALREADY THE LAST TWO STANDING FOR THE GOP NOMINATION DESPITE POLLS TIPPING IN TRUMP’S FAVOR FOR MUCH OF THE RACE. SO FAR, IT HASN’T A GOOD START IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. HALEY SWEEPING THE FORMER PRESIDENT SIX VOTES TO ZERO IN THE TINY TOWN OF DIXVILLE NOTCH, WHICH COUNTED, CONTINUES ITS TRADITION OF CASTING VOTES

RIGHT THERE AT MIDNIGHT LEADING US OFF THE POLLING LOCATION IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. ZOHREEN SHAH SAYS SO WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM VOTERS AS THEY CAST THEIR VOTES HERE? I’M HEARING A SENSE OF EXHAUSTION AND UNHAPPINESS WITH BOTH PARTIES. I MEAN, HEARING THAT AT THIS POLLING LOCATION.

AND THEN ALSO WHEN WE SAT DOWN WITH SIX INDEPENDENT VOTERS OVER THE WEEKEND. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAID . RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU’RE AN UNDECIDED VOTER AND CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES SO FAR, I’M LEANING TOWARD THE ELLIPSE. I’M LEANING TOWARDS DEAN PHILLIPS.

IS JOE BIDEN ABOUT TO GET EMBARRASSED IN THE STATE ON TUESDAY? I THINK HE ALMOST EVERYONE NODDING. MY VOTE FOR DEAN, IT’S AGAINST BIDEN. >> I MEAN, THAT WAS TO ME AND OUR CREW. I MEAN, WE THOUGHT THAT INDEPENDENT VOTERS MIGHT LEAN HALEY. YOU HEARD THREE PEOPLE ACTUALLY LEANING DEAN PHILLIPS.

THERE IS JUST SO MUCH UNHAPPINESS WITH BOTH TRUMP AND BIDEN. SO HERE HAD A STRONG SHOWING IN DIXVILLE NOTCH. BUT YOU KNOW, THOSE RESULTS. ARE THEY A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF HOW THINGS ACTUALLY PLAY OUT ? NO, I MEAN, ABSOLUTELY NOT. LAST TIME AROUND, THERE WERE THREE VOTES THAT WENT FOR

BLOOMBERG, ONE THAT WENT FOR BERNIE, ONE THAT WENT FOR GOOD. A JUDGE. AND AS YOU KNOW, BERNIE ENDED UP WINNING IN THIS STATE. AND THEN THERE WERE ZERO VOTES FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN. HE’S THE ONE WHO ENDED UP WINNING THE NOMINATION. HE WON THE PRESIDENCY. I MEAN, MENTIONED THAT HE GOT SIX VOTES.

WE FORGET HOW LOYALTY DONALD TRUMP HAS IN THIS STATE AND HOW NOT REFLECTIVE IS OF THE STATE. RIGHT. I MEAN, TRUMP FIRST CAME HERE IN 1987. HE FLIRTED WITH A PRESIDENTIAL RUN, THEN. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT IS PROBABLY A BETTER SNAPSHOT OF THIS STATE THAT THE SIX PEOPLE WHO VOTED

THIS MORNING. ALL RIGHT. SHAW WE WILL CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND INTO THE NIGHT, SEE WHERE THINGS GO. THANK YOU SO MUCH MORE. LET’S BRING IN DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST JULIA GORSKI AND EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REVIEW, RAMESH PONNURU. >> SO, RAMESH, LET’S LET’S TALK ABOUT THE DIXVILLE NOTCH. MIDNIGHT PRIMARY VOTE.

THERE’S ALWAYS A LOT OF HEADLINES AROUND THAT BECAUSE IT’S A LOT OF FUN. AND HALEY DID IN A LANDSLIDE. BUT LOOK, WE’RE ONLY TALKING SIX VOTES, SO IT’S NOT NECESSARILY ANY TYPE OF PREDICTION HERE. SO LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT HALEY FOR A MINUTE, THOUGH. DO YOU THINK THAT SHE HAS ANY

CHANCE TO PULL OFF AN UPSET NEW HAMPSHIRE? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE POLLING HAS BEEN SUGGESTING THAT SHE IS NOT TO WIN, BUT THERE HAS BEEN JUST THERE’S BEEN JUST ENOUGH POLLS FOR HER TO CREATE A GLIMMER OF HOPE. >> AND I’M SURE, THAT THAT IS WHAT EVERYBODY IS BANKING

ON IN HALEY CAMP RIGHT NOW. >> OKAY. A GLIMMER OF HOPE. ALL RIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO WE’RE GOING TO HOLD ON TO THAT AND TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. PRESIDENT BIDEN ISN’T ON THE BALLOT, THOUGH, IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> DO YOU THINK THAT THAT’S GOING TO HELP OR HURT HIM?

>> WELL, IT’S NOT HELPING THAT HE’S NOT OUT THERE CAMPAIGNING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND SEEMS TO HAVE PARKED HIMSELF IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WITH AN ABSENCE OF OBVIOUSLY AN INCUMBENT PRESIDENT TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST. >> BUT LOOK, JOE BIDEN HAS NEVER WON NEW HAMPSHIRE. HE’S RUN FOR PRESIDENT SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING THE LAST TIME

WHEN HE DIDN’T WIN. HE’S GOING TO GO TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND HE’S GOING TO CLEAN UP DOWN THERE. AND I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE THE END OF THAT. I DON’T KNOW THAT DEEP PHILLIPS WANTS TO SPEND REST OF THE MONEY THAT HE’S GOT PERSONALLY VERY WEALTHY FOLLOWING, THE PRESIDENT AROUND

THE STATE. THE STATE. BUT NEW HAMPSHIRE IS NOT DISPOSITIVE TO THE PRIMARY IN THIS ELECTION AT ALL FOR EITHER PARTY. >> I WOULD SAY. SO, RAMESH, WIN OR LOSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, HALEY SAYS IT’S NOT GOING TO BE GAME OVER FOR HER. SO DO YOU SEE HER LASTING UNTIL

THE PRIMARY IN HER HOME STATE? >> I THINK IT DOES FOR HER CAMPAIGN. IF SHE CAN SOMEHOW PULL OUT A WIN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, I THINK THAT GIVES HER SOME SUPPORT INTO HER HOME STATE. BUT, YOU KNOW, GETTING JULIE’S POINT ABOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE NOT BEING DISPOSITIVE, IF SHE SUFFERS A DEFEAT, ESPECIALLY

A REALLY MASSIVE DEFEAT IN HER OWN HOME THAT SHE WAS GOVERNOR OF. >> THAT’S PRETTY HARD TO RECOVER FROM. >> ALL THE SIGNS SUGGEST THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT A BIDEN TRUMP REMATCH IN 2024. WHETHER OR NOT THAT MAKES THEM ALL THE AMERICANS WHO ARE NOT

IN THE BASE OF THE PARTY HAPPY . SO, JULIE, HOW DO YOU SEE A BIDEN REMATCH? >> WHAT’S THAT? WHO’S SAYING? MEET THE NEW BOSS. SAME AS THE OLD BOSS. IT’S THE REMATCH. LOOK, WE’RE GETTING IT WHETHER PEOPLE WANT IT OR NOT. >> AND ULTIMATELY, LOOK, THIS

ELECTION’S GOING TO BE ON THE MARCH STRAIGHT. AS RAMESH POINTED OUT, THE BASES HAVE SOLIDIFIED. >> THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY VOTERS THAT CAN BE SWAYED ANYMORE. OPINIONS OF BOTH THESE MEN HAVE BEEN CONGEAL FOR A VERY LONG TIME BECAUSE, BEEN IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN FOR MANY YEARS NOW.

>> AND SO THIS IS GOING BE ONE ON THE MARGINS. AND WE’RE GETTING THE RACE WE ARE GOING TO GET WHETHER ANY OF US WANTS IT OR NOT. >> OKAY. GLIMMER OF HOPE VERSUS NO GLIMMER OF HOPE. >> I’M READING BETWEEN THE TEA LEAVES BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU.

LET’S SEE WHO NAILS IT. WE’LL BRING YOU BACK. JULIE RAMESH, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. SO LET’S HEAD OVER TO THE RISING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST NOW.

THE PENTAGON SAYS THAT U.S. AND BRITISH FORCES LAUNCHED ANOTHER AIR AND MISSILE ATTACK IN YEMEN TARGETING THE IRAN BACKED ROUTE. THESE ARE THE REBELS CONTINUED ATTACKS ON COMMERCIAL SHIPS IN THE RED SEA TIME. STRIKING AN UNDERGROUND WOULD BE STORAGE LOCATION AND DRONE AND MISSILE SITES. YEMEN NOW WARNING THAT THESE

NEW ATTACKS WILL NOT GO UNANSWERED AND UNPUNISHED. THIS ALSO COMES AS DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN MADE HIS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE SINCE HIS HOSPITAL ASIAN FOR PROSTATE CANCER. YOU CAN SEE HIM RIGHT THERE FROM D.O.D.. LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR PENTAGON REPORTEDLY MARTINEZ FOR MORE. WHY DON’T WE GO AHEAD AND START

WITH THESE AIRSTRIKES. YOU KNOW HAVE THEY BEEN EFFECTIVE IN ANY WAY? BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ROUND OF STRIKES AND THE HOUTHIS KEEP ATTACKING. IT’S BEEN MORE THAN 12 DAYS, KYRA, SINCE WE’VE SEEN THE START THESE U.S. AIRSTRIKES AGAINST TWO KEY TARGETS LAST NIGHT. AND THE FIRST NIGHT IT WAS

THE UNITED STATES AND THE UNITED KINGDOM LAUNCHING THESE COORDINATORS AGAINST MAJOR TARGETS. THE OTHER ONES HAVE BEEN MORE RETALIATORY, SMALL SCALE. BUT THE U.S. OFFICIALS WHO WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO TELLING US THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THESE ATTACKS, THESE RETALIATORY STRIKES ARE HAVING AN IMPACT ON DEGRADING THE HOUTHIS ABILITY TO CARRY

OUT THESE ATTACKS ON, SHIPPING IN THE RED SEA AND THE GULF OF ADEN. BUT, OF COURSE, WE’RE NOT SEEING THAT DECREASE YET. AND THE ANSWER THAT WE GET FROM OFFICIALS IS THAT WE FULLY ANTICIPATED THAT THE HOUTHIS WOULD CONTINUE TO ATTACK, THOUGH WHAT YOU’RE SEEING IS A MUCH SMALLER SCALE.

THAT’S THE ARGUMENT THAT THEY’RE MAKING. SO I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AT LEAST UNTIL THE HOUTHIS DO, IF IN CASE THEY REALLY DO STOP AND IF THEY STILL KEEP GOING AFTER THESE CRUCIAL TRADING ROUTES, IT’S TO CONTINUE TO COST A LOT OF MONEY AS WELL.

ISRAEL, THAT 24 IDF SOLDIERS WERE KILLED IN SOUTHERN GAZA. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT? WELL, 24 KILLED IN SEPARATE INCIDENTS, 21 OF THEM DIED IN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT, IF YOU COULD CALL IT THAT. AN RPG, A ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE WAS FIRED IN THE VICINITY, A BUILDING THAT HAD

JUST BEEN WIRED FOR DEMOLITION. AND THERE WERE TROOPS INSIDE THE BULK OF THAT STRUCTURE INSIDE. AND THEN THAT THE FROM THAT RPG CAUSED A DOMINO EFFECT, IF YOU WILL, ESSENTIALLY COLLAPSING THAT BUILDING IN ALL OF THE 21 SOLDIERS THAT WERE INSIDE. SO A VERY STRANGE INCIDENT, BUT AGAIN, HIGHLIGHTS

THE DANGERS ON BOTH SIDES HERE. AGAIN, 25,000 PALESTINIANS ARE BELIEVED TO BE KILLED, HAVE BEEN KILLED IN FIGHTING SINCE OCTOBER 7TH. AND WE’VE SEEN THIS. AND AS A RESULT OF THE AIRSTRIKES AND THOSE NUMBERS COMING FROM THE PALESTINIAN HEALTH MINISTRY AND SEVERAL HUNDRED NOW ISRAELI FIGHTERS HAVE ALSO EXCUSE ME,

ISRAELI SOLDIERS HAVE ALSO BEEN KILLED. REAL QUICKLY, WE SAW SECRETARY AUSTIN THERE IN THAT ZOOM CALL. IT’S THE FIRST TIME SINCE HE KEPT HIS HOSPITALIZATION A SECRET. DID HE TALK ABOUT ANY OF THAT? >> HE DID NOT, KYRA. HE HE WENT STRAIGHT AND STAYED ON THE SUBJECT MATTER AT HAND.

THIS A MEETING OF THE IT TAKES PLACE MOSTLY EITHER VIRTUALLY OR IN WITH THE 50 COUNTRIES THAT ARE PROVIDING MILITARY ASSISTANCE, UKRAINE. AND IN THIS CASE, HE CHOSE TO DO IT VIRTUALLY NOT FROM THE PENTAGON. BUT WHAT YOU’RE HERE FOR IS FROM HIS HOME. AND OBVIOUSLY, HE HAVE MADE A REFERENCE TO IT.

HE CHOSE NOT TO, BUT IT SEEMS HE JUST WANTED TO STAY ON, WHICH IS UKRAINE AND THE NEED FOR COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES, TO PROVIDE EVEN MORE MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE IN HIS FIGHT AGAINST RUSSIA. I’M GLAD YOU POINTED OUT, BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE DOD JUST FROM BACKGROUND THERE,

BUT ACTUALLY FROM HIS HOME. INTERESTING. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE DEFINITELY TO FOLLOW HIS CONDITION, OF COURSE. LOUIS, THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. WELL, POWERFUL STORM IS LASHING CALIFORNIA WITH TORRENTIAL AND FLASH FLOODING. SAN DIEGO UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY AT THIS HOUR. THE CITY PICKING UP MORE THAN

A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS. YESTERDAY. RAIN ALSO FLOODING ROADS, ROADS THERE, SLICK STREETS MADE FOR A TREACHEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS IN SOME AREAS. ALSO, HIGH WATER PROMPTING SEVERAL RESCUES IN THE AREA. ONE MAN ACTUALLY CRAWLING THROUGH HIS CAR WINDOW JUST TO ESCAPE FLOODING. OUR METEOROLOGIST

SOMARA THEODORE IS TRACKING ALL THE EXTREME WEATHER FOR US. SMART. THAT’S MY HOMETOWN. SO I’M FOLLOWING CLOSELY. TELL US MORE. I’M SO SORRY, KYRA. THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH, AS YOU SAW IN THE VIDEO, JUST TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND WET WEATHER. AND CALIFORNIA IS GEARING UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN.

BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, THOUGH. OUR NEIGHBORS IN THE GULF, THEY ARE ALSO DEALING WITH ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAIN. >> SO THIS STORM SYSTEM THAT’S GETTING READY TO MOVE THROUGH. IT’S ALSO DRAWING ON SOME MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO COUPLED TOGETHER LOOKING AT THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING.

THIS AREA IN RED HERE, INCLUDING SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA, ALEXANDRIA, JACKSON ,MISSISSIPPI, HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING IN THE COMING HOURS THROUGH TODAY INTO TOMORROW. BUT THE WIDER SCOPE SAYS FOR NASHVILLE, DOWN TO HOUSTON, OVER TO WACO AND DALLAS, DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS AND MOBILE, ALABAMA, COULD ACTUALLY SEE

DAMAGING WINDS AND MAYBE EVEN AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. >> WE SEE SOME OF THUNDERSTORMS ROLL THROUGH WITH THIS SYSTEM. NOW, ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THIS STORM, WE HAVE WINTRY WEATHER. SO WE HAVE THE THREAT FOR SNOW TONIGHT IN UPSTATE NEW YORK THROUGHOUT MUCH OF NEW ENGLAND THERE EVEN A LITTLE BIT

OF ICE WHERE THE RAIN WAS MEETING, THE SNOW, THE STORM SYSTEM IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO FALL APART. NONETHELESS, CLOSER TO THE GREAT LAKES, WE DO HAVE WINTER ADVISORIES IN PLACE NOW. THIS STORM SYSTEM STARTS BANK OUT OF HERE WEDNESDAY OUT OF THE NORTHEAST, AT LEAST BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

THE OTHER BIG HEADLINE HAS BEEN THE TEMPERATURES WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH, BRAD BRUTAL CONDITIONS. WE COULD REALLY USE A BREAK AND THAT IS ON THE HORIZON. TEMPERATURES IN CHICAGO IN THE LOW FORTIES BY FRIDAY. JACKSONVILLE UPPER 70S, 68 DEGREES ON FRIDAY IN D.C. AND FINALLY WE SAW THOSE IMAGES

COMING OUT OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, BY MIDDAY AND THEY SHOULD SEE ABOUT 1.9 INCHES OF RAIN. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, YESTERDAY IN 3 HOURS, THEY PICKED UP 2.7 ,THREE INCHES OF RAIN IN NO TIME FLAT. >> SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, WITH NEXT SYSTEM, KYRA, WE COULD BE SEEING

MORE RAIN FROM SEATTLE DOWN SAN FRANCISCO. >> ALL RIGHT, SOMARA THEODORE THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> COMING UP, PROSECUTORS SAY THEY GAVE THEIR SON THE GUN. NOW THE MOTHER OF CONVICTED MASS SHOOTER, ETHAN CRUMBLY, IS IN THE PRECEDENT IT MAY SET NEXT. >> THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE.

THE PRESSURE ON FAMILIES HERE IN POLAND REFUGEE CENTER IN PUTIN’S RUSSIA ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE CLOSE TO THE FRONT FROM THE CAPITAL DESTRUCTIVE FORCE STORM ON I-5 OFTEN IS IN THE BULL’S EYE OF ABC NEWS LIVE. >> AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE STREAMING 24/7 STRAIGHT TO YOU FOR FREE.

THIS IS THE ONLY ABC NEWS APP BREAKING NEWS INCREDIBLE VIDEO FASTER, SMARTER AND CUSTOMIZABLE TO YOUR. IF YOU LOVE BEING IN THE KNOW, YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE THIS EXPERIENCE THE ALL-NEW ABC NEWS APP DOWNLOAD IT NOW LET ME SAY THAT WHILE THE EVENING IS YOUNG AND WE

DON’T KNOW YET WHAT THE FINAL TALLY WILL BE, I THINK WE KNOW ENOUGH TO SAY WITH SOME CERTAINTY THAT NEW TONIGHT HAS MADE BILL CLINTON THE COMEBACK . AS YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THE COMEBACK KID, BILL CLINTON IN 1992, SPEAKING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AFTER COMING IN SECOND IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, CLINTON’S

CAMPAIGN GAINED A LOT OF MOMENTUM THAT NIGHT, WHICH HELPED HIM GO ON TO WIN THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION. AND LATER PRESIDENCY. OUR COVERAGE OF TODAY’S NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY CONTINUES. ALL ACROSS THE PLATFORMS HERE ON ABC NEWS. SO A HISTORIC TRIAL BEGINS TODAY IN MICHIGAN. PROSECUTORS SAY THAT JENNIFER

CRUMBLY GAVE HER SON ACCESS TO A GUN. NOW SHE’S IN FACING FOUR COUNTS OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER AFTER HER SON, ETHAN CRUMBLY OPENED FIRE AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL, KILLING FOUR PEOPLE AND WOUNDING SEVERAL OTHERS. JENNIFER SON WAS, JUST 15 YEARS OLD, WHEN HE CARRIED OUT THAT MASS SHOOTING IN 2021.

ETHAN HAS SINCE BEEN SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE. PROSECUTORS SAY HIS PARENTS DIDN’T TELL. SCHOOL OFFICIALS THAT ETHAN HAD ACCESS TO THAT GUN WHEN THEY CALLED TO SCHOOL. AND A SPECIAL MEETING ABOUT RED FLAGS AND SON’S BEHAVIOR JUST HOURS BEFORE THE SHOOTING TOOK PLACE.

NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE PARENTS HAVE EVER BEEN CHARGED IN WITH A SCHOOL SHOOTING. OUR LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR, CHANNA LLOYD, HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE CASE. SO ONE OF THE MOST STUNNING PIECES OF EVIDENCE CLEARLY WITHIN THIS CASE WAS HOW ETHAN ACQUIRED THE GUN THAT HE USED TO COMMIT THAT MASS SHOOTING.

I MEAN, THE GUN CAME FROM HIS PARENTS. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS HISTORICAL TRIAL AND JUST THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THAT BOTH PARENTS FACE NOW, SHAINA? >> WELL, THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO SET A PRECEDENT. IF THERE IS ANY FORM OF A CONVICTION ON THESE CHARGES, BECAUSE WHAT THEY’RE

ESSENTIALLY ALLEGING IS THAT THE PARENTS WERE RESPONSIBLE. THEY SAW AN OBVIOUS RISK THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF AND THAT THEY TOOK NO ACTION. THAT IS WHAT THE STATE IS ALLEGING THEY’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR. SO THAT’S A VERY HIGH BAR. WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE IN ANY OTHER MASS SHOOTINGS.

SO IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS TRIAL GOES FORWARD. >> SO WHAT DO THE PARENTS FACE. COULD BE. COULD THEY BE IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES ALONG WITH THEIR SON? >> EACH ONE OF THESE COUNTS OF INVOLUNTARY CARRIES A POSSIBLE SENTENCE UP TO 15 YEARS.

SO WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT 60 YEARS IN PRISON POTENTIALLY. SO IT’S VERY SIGNIFICANT TIME FOR THESE CHARGES. >> SO ETHAN’S LAWYERS APPEALED HIS LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE SENTENCE. WHAT DO YOU THINK THEIR STRATEGY HERE AND WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN? >> SO THEY’RE APPEALING THIS

BECAUSE OF ONE HIS AGE. THEY’RE STATING OTHER MITIGATING FACTORS THAT THE SENTENCE SHOULDN’T BE THIS EXTENSIVE. THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE A VERY UPHILL BATTLE. >> BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE THAT REDUCED. >> ALL RIGHT, CHANNA LLOYD. WE’LL KEEP FOLLOWING CLEARLY THE DEVELOPMENTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO DAY.

THANK YOU SO GOOD. >> GEORGES FANI WILLIS BE REMOVED FROM PROSECUTING DONALD TRUMP WHILE A JUDGE HAS JUST UNSEALED A DIVORCE CASE THAT COULD IMPACT THE STATE’S ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT. NOW THE EMBATTLED FULTON COUNTY D.A. COULD BE TO TESTIFY IN HER TOP PROSECUTORS DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS AFTER FACING

AND LET THE PUBLIC SEE THE RECEIPTS FOR CERTAIN TRAVEL EXPENSES TO SAN FRANCISCO AND TO FLORIDA WITH CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS THAT SHOW THAT FANI WILLIS WAS AT VERY MINIMUM, HIS TRAVEL COMPANION. >> WILLIS HIRED HIM AS A PROSECUTOR TO LEAD THE CASE AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND HIS ALLIES,

WHO ARE ACCUSED OF TRYING TO OVERTURN ELECTION RESULTS IN GEORGIA. AND HE’S ALREADY EARNED NEARLY $700,000. COUNTY LAWMAKERS ARE CONCERNED AND HAVE NOW SENT HIS BOSS THIS LETTER REQUIRING CONFIRMATION OF WHETHER FUNDS PROVIDED FOR THE OPERATION OF YOUR OFFICE AND ITS PROSECUTOR WILL FUNCTION WERE USED IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER.

THE ONLY PUBLIC COMMENTS WILLIS HAS MADE ON THE MATTER WERE AT A CHURCH SERVICE EARLIER THIS MONTH WHERE SHE SUGGESTED THAT THIS WAS YET ANOTHER TARGET AGAINST HER BECAUSE OF COLOR. >> HE GOT THE SAME BLACK MAN HIRED. >> WHAT ACCEPTABLE WHEN A REPUBLICAN IN ANOTHER TOWN IN

TAKE HIM TWICE A WEEK. WOW THE WHITE MALE JUDGE BUT THE BLACK MALE DEMOCRAT NOT. BUT NOW A NEW VIDEO IS MAKING THE ROUNDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA OF THE PROSECUTOR ON A TALK SHOW IN 2020 WHEN SHE WAS CAMPAIGNING HER VERY OFFICE WHERE SHE SAID THAT IN HER ADMINISTRATION, SHE WOULD NOT

BE DATING ANYONE ON THE STAFF. >> I THINK THAT WHAT CITIZENS ARE REALLY, REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT IS IF YOU CHOSE TO HAVE INAPPROPRIATE CONTACT WITH EMPLOYEES. >> IT WAS THE LAWYER FOR ONE OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S CODEFENDANTS, MIKE ROMAN, WHO HIGHLIGHTED AFFAIR ACCUSATIONS FROM NATHAN WADE’S WIFE AND ASKED THE JUDGE

TO DISMISS THEIR CASE. CAROL. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE RICO CASE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND HIS 18 OTHER CO-DEFENDANTS WHO PLEADED NOT GUILTY LAST REMAINS UNCLEAR. FOUR OF THEM TOOK PLEA DEALS IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR TESTIMONY AGAINST SOME OF THE OTHER DEFENDANTS. THERE’S A HEARING IN THE ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE OVER

BREAKING NEWS EXCLUSIVES

LARGE REPORTING ACROSS THE GLOBE KEEPS STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVE REPORTING FROM TAIWAN. I’M BRITT CLENNETT. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . SOME OF THE TOP HEADLINES FOLLOWING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW THIS HOUR AT ABC NEWS LIVE. POLICE IN ILLINOIS SAY THAT A

MURDER IS DEAD AFTER SHOOTING HIMSELF DURING A CONFRONTATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT IN TEXAS. THIS IS A 23-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, NANCY, SUSPECTED KILLING EIGHT PEOPLE IN JOLIET, ILLINOIS. POLICE DIDN’T GIVE A MOTIVE, SAYS NANCY KNEW ALL THE VICTIMS. A HISTORIC STRIKE STARTED AND ENDED IN ONE DAY. THE CAL STATE FACULTY REACHING

AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM JUST HOURS AFTER THEIR PICKETING BEGAN. THE LIBRARIANS, PROFESSORS AND OTHER EMPLOYEES THAT STRIKE AFTER MONTHS OF CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS CENTERING AROUND PAY INCREASES AND IMPROVED BENEFITS. THE EMPLOYEES UNION SAID THAT THE DEAL INCLUDES A PERCENT SALARY INCREASE WITH OTHER FUTURE RAISES AND AN INCREASE IN PARENTAL LEAVE BENEFITS.

AND TRIBUTES ARE POURING IN FOR DEXTER’S SCOTT KING, THE YOUNGEST SON OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. THE KING CENTER SAYING PROSTATE CANCER AND PASSED AWAY AT HIS HOME ON SUNDAY. HIS OLDER BROTHER SAID IN A STATEMENT THAT THE SUDDEN SHOCK IS DEVASTATING AND IT’S HARD TO HAVE THE RIGHT WORDS

AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS. DEXTER SCOTT KING WAS 62 YEARS OLD. WELL, THE NOMINATIONS FOR THE 96TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS ARE OUT. HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST NIGHT IS SETTING UP TO BE A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN THE STORY OF THE BIRTH OF THE FIRST ATOMIC BOMB AND A TRUE CRIME DRAMA. OPPENHEIMER TOPPING THE LIST

WITH 13 NOMINATIONS. POOR THINGS. KILLERS OF THE FLOWER, MOON AND BARBIE ALSO RECEIVING MULTIPLE NOMINATIONS EACH HOUR. WILL GANSS, OF COURSE, IS FOLLOWING ALL OF THAT FOR US. YES. YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE INSIDE SCOOP, DON’T YOU? ALL RIGHT. I KNOW THERE WERE SNUBS. SURPRISES. LET’S JUST GET TO IT. ALL RIGHT.

HOW ABOUT BEST PICTURE? WALK US THROUGH SOME OF THE NOMINATIONS. SO AS YOU JUST MENTIONED, KYRA, OF COURSE, OPPENHEIMER LED THE PACK TODAY WITH 13 NOMINATIONS, WHICH IS NOT REALLY A SURPRISE. AND A LOT OF THOSE NOMINATIONS ARE IN THE MAJOR CATEGORIES. BEST PICTURE, BEST DIRECTOR, BEST BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS.

SO WE KIND OF THOUGHT THAT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. AND OF COURSE IT DID. AND THEN WE’VE GOT KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON AND POOR THINGS RIGHT BEHIND IT. BUT WHAT WE REALLY DIDN’T EXPECT TODAY FOR THE OTHER HALF OF THE BARBENHEIMER, BUT NOMINATED TO REALLY KIND

OF COME UP SHORT, I THINK A LOT OF US WERE EXPECTING 11 OR 12 NOMINATIONS FOR BARBIE. >> IT ONLY TOOK IN EIGHT. AND THE REAL SHOCKER HERE IS THAT TEN RYAN GOSLING PICKED UP A NOMINATION, BUT NOT BARBIE IN THE MOVIE ABOUT BARBIE. I MEAN SHE IS THE FILM.

IT REALLY FEELS KIND OF ON THE NOSE TO BE GIVING THE NOMINATION AND NOT BARBIE. IT FEELS LIKE WE’RE JUST LIVING IN THE MOJO. DOJA CAT A HOUSE THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, PROMINENT IN THE FILM . ALL RIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT BEST ACTRESS AND BEST ACTOR. YES.

SO THIS IS A REALLY, REALLY INTERESTING ONE. I THINK FOR BEST ACTOR, WE’RE GOING TO KIND OF SEE IT BE A TWO-PERSON RACE HERE. WE HAD PAUL GIAMATTI FROM THE HOLDOVERS. HE PLAYS A BOARDING SCHOOL PROFESSOR WHO IS REALLY JUST SUPER ENDEARING. HIS PERFORMANCE REALLY REALLY GREAT AND WON HIM A GOLDEN

GLOBE THE OTHER NIGHT. AND THEN THE OTHER MAIN CONTENDER FOR BEST ACTOR, I THINK IS GOING TO BE CILLIAN MURPHY. YOU SEE HIM RIGHT THERE FOR OPPENHEIMER. I MEAN, IT IS A LOT OF MOVIE TO GET THROUGH. AND HE AT THE HELM FOR ALL OF IT. SO THERE WERE SOME REALLY,

REALLY AWESOME NOMINATIONS IN THIS CATEGORY AS WELL. BUT THOSE TWO ARE THE TWO TO WATCH. AND THEN AS FAR AS THE ACTRESS SIDE OF THINGS, LILY GLADSTONE ,FOR KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, A HISTORIC NOMINATION AS THE FIRST NATIVE ACTRESS TO PULL OFF A NOMINATION. YOU SEE HER THERE. SHE’S FANTASTIC.

AND THEN IT’S GOING TO BE HER AND EMMA STONE FOR FOUR THINGS. EMMA STONE’S PERFORMANCE IS COMPLETELY UNHINGED IN OF THE WAYS THAT I LOVE FOR A MOVIE TO BE REALLY, REALLY FANTASTIC. >> SO REALLY EXCITING. BIG NAMES, NEWCOMERS, TIME NOMINEES, THOSE TWO RACES REALLY MUCH TO WATCH THIS YEAR.

YEAH, IT’S — IT’S GOING TO BE EXCITING TO WATCH HISTORY BEING MADE FOR SURE. WILL GANSS THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE YOU. AND THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US ON KYRA PHILLIPS. AND BREAKING NEWS TO ALL THE STORIES THAT MATTER TO YOU . YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND US WHEREVER

BREAKING DOWN THE STATE OF THE RACE. DEADLY ATTACK NEARLY TWO DOZEN ISRAELI SOLDIERS KILLED IN GAZA. THE NEW DETAILS WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT WHAT WENT DOWN IN THE WAR ZONE. AND FLOOD RAVAGED EXTREME WEATHER LEAVING A PATH OF DESTRUCTION ACROSS CALIFORNIA. LANDSLIDES WATER RESCUES AND EVACUATION WARNINGS. OUR SOMARA THEODORE HAS IT

ALL TIMED OUT FOR US. >> AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE . KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, HOWEVER, AS DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY, THEY GET READY TO RUMBLE. THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW UNDER WAY IN, NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND VOTERS ARE PACKING THE POLLS ALL ACROSS THE GRANITE.

TRUMP ACTUALLY MAKING A SURPRISE VISIT TO A POLLING LOCATION IN LONDON. BARRY JUST A SHORT BIT AGO. FORMER PRESIDENT AIMING FOR BIG WIN AGAINST THE FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR. BUT DESPITE POLLS TIPPING TRUMP’S FAVOR FOR MUCH OF THE RACE, SO FAR, IT HASN’T BEEN A GOOD START. NEW HAMPSHIRE THE FORMER SOUTH

CAROLINA GOVERNOR SWEEPING HER RIVAL SIX VOTES TO ZERO IN THE TINY TOWN OF DIXVILLE NOTCH, CONTINUES ITS TRADITION OF CASTING VOTES RIGHT AT MIDNIGHT, LEADING US OFF AT A POLLING STATION THERE IN NEW BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. OUR ZOHREEN SHAH ALSO OUR CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT, JONATHAN KARL. WE’LL TALK ABOUT TRUMP’S SURPRISE, SURPRISE VISIT

IN JUST A SECOND. SECOND, BUT SOARING NIKKI HALEY MAY HAVE HAD A STRONG SHOWING IN DIXVILLE NOTCH, BUT NEW VOTERS HAVE HAD THEIR EYES ON TRUMP FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW ,A VERY LONG TIME HERE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU TALKED ABOUT TRUMP’S SURPRISE VISIT. WELL, HALEY ACTUALLY GAINS THIS VERY POLLING LOCATION,

A SURPRISE VISIT JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO WITH CHRIS SUNUNU. BUT YEAH, EXACTLY. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT SNAPSHOT OF THOSE SIX VOTERS. IT’S NOT A GOOD ONE. RIGHT. AND IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A REALLY GOOD SNAPSHOT OR A FLASHBACK IN TIME THAT REPRESENTS THIS MOMENT BETWEEN THESE CANDIDATES, 1987

IS WHEN DONALD TRUMP FIRST CAME DOWN HERE TO FLIRT AND BE POLITICAL RUN TO NEW HAMPSHIRE. HE SPOKE TO A VERY LARGE IN PORTSMOUTH. IN FACT, THE TIMES THAT IT WAS BIGGER THAN CROWDS OF REPUBLICAN AT THAT TIME WHO WERE OFFICIAL CANDIDATES, HAD HE SAID THAT HE WAS TIRED OF NICE PEOPLE ALREADY

IN WASHINGTON, HE GOT A BIG REACTION, THE SAME KIND OF REACTION THAT WE HEAR PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR HIM TODAY SAY ABOUT HIM. YOU KNOW, THEY SAID BACK THEN, HE’S SO LIKE MOM AND APPLE PIE AND HE LOVES OUR COUNTRY. SO HE JUST REALLY EXISTED IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE FOR SO

LONG THE PEOPLE HERE FOR SO LONG, I THINK THAT’S A STRONGER SNAPSHOT THAN THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THIS MORNING IN THE SMALL TOWN OF SIX. SO JOHN HALEY HAS BEEN IN FULL FORCE ALL MORNING AS JUST POINTED OUT, SURPRISING VOTERS AT POLLING STATIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. NOW YOU HAVE TRUMP WHO DID

THE SAME THING IN LONDONDERRY. >> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? DO YOU THINK HE’S GETTING NERVOUS? YOU KNOW, I DON’T THINK TRUMP IS NERVOUS. I THINK THEY’RE EXTREMELY CONFIDENT. I JUST SPOKE TO TO ONE OF HIS TOP SUPPORTERS UP THERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND IS

PREDICTING A NOT JUST A WIN OVER NIKKI HALEY, BUT A LANDSLIDE WIN. WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS? WE DON’T KNOW. NEW HAMPSHIRE IS NOT A STATE THAT HAS MUCH EARLY VOTING. THERE’S A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF ABSENTEE THAT WERE CAST BEFORE THE DAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, LARGELY IT’S — IT’S WHAT HAPPENS

IN NEW HAMPSHIRE LOOMS LARGER. I WOULD ARGUE THIS CYCLE THAN IT HAS AT ANY TIME SINCE THE ADVENT OF THE MODERN PRIMARY SYSTEM. I MEAN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, IF NEW HAMPSHIRE DELIVERS A BIG VICTORY, DONALD TRUMP TONIGHT, IT’S HARD TO SEE HOW HALEY’S CAMPAIGN CONTINUES. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF NIKKI

HALEY SOMEHOW PULLS OFF, WHAT WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS UPSET, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE POLLING IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, IT WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT BLOW TO TRUMP. SHE WOULD FACE STILL AN UPHILL BATTLE FROM HERE, BUT IT WOULD RESET THE RACE. SO LOOK, NEW HAMPSHIRE, IN SOME WAYS, MAYBE THE ONLY THING

THAT STANDS BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AT THIS MOMENT BECOMING NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. >> WELL, HOW ABOUT ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES, JOHN, THAT HAVE NOW GONE FROM COMPETING AGAINST TRUMP TO ENDORSING HIM? I MEAN, THE OPPOSITION IS COMPLETELY EVAPORATED. THEY’RE KISSING THE RING. IS IT ADDITION FOR POSSIBLE RUNNING MATES HERE?

>> I MEAN, WHAT’S GOING ON? I MEAN, THERE’S CLEARLY OF THAT GOING ON. YOU SAW SENATOR TIM SCOTT OUT ON THE STAGE WITH HIM. THAT LOOKS LIKE VERY MUCH SOMEBODY AUDITIONING TO BE VICE PRESIDENT. BUT IT IS. IT IS, FRANKLY, KYRA, IT’S EXTRA THE WAY DONALD TRUMP NOW WITH JUST 56,000

PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HIM IN IOWA. AND WHATEVER HAPPENS HERE TONIGHT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE MAY BE CONSIDERED THE EFFECTIVELY THE REPUBLICAN PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE AFTER ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED. SOMEBODY LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE IN DISGRACE THREE YEARS AGO, SOMEBODY WAS BLAMED FOR REPUBLICAN LOSSES IN THE MIDTERMS IN 2022, SOMEBODY

WHO HE LAUNCHED HIS CAMPAIGN HAD VIRTUALLY NOBODY SUPPORTING HIM, NONE OF HIS FORMER SENIOR ADVISERS, NO SIGNIFICANT REPUBLICAN ELECTED OFFICIALS. AND HE HE WAS TRAILING RON DESANTIS WHEN. >> HE FIRST ANNOUNCED HE WAS RUNNING. AND LOOK THE WAY HE IS, ONE BY ONE TAKES THEM ALL OFF WITHOUT

PARTICIPATING IN A SINGLE DEBATE, WITHOUT CAMPAIGNING MUCH. YOU SPEND AS MUCH TIME, MORE TIME IN COURTROOMS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THAN HE HAS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AND WE ARE. IT’S REALLY A STATEMENT ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, MUCH AS IT IS A STATEMENT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP.

AND IT’S A STATEMENT ABOUT HOW HE HAS TAKEN OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. AGAIN, WE DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND IF THERE WILL BE A RESET, BUT THAT’S THE WAY IT FEELS GOING IN TO THE VOTES BEING COUNTED TONIGHT. AND THAT’S CERTAINLY THE WAY TRUMP’S SEEM TO BE THEMSELVES.

WE’RE HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT OUTCOME AND ABSOLUTELY THE WAY TRUMP AND HIS TEAM ARE LOOKING AT IT AT THIS MOMENT. >> JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU’VE SEEN IT ALL, YOU HAVE IT. >> YEAH. AND IT ALL GOES BACK TO DONALD TRUMP. JON KARL, THANKS, GUYS, SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.

WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION NOW WITH OUR CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN FROM VIRGINIA, COMSTOCK, ALSO FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, MARCIA ESPINOSA. SO, BARBARA, WHAT DO YOU THINK ? TRUMP MAKING A SURPRISE APPEARANCE AT THE POLLING PLACE IN LONDON VERY.

YOU THINK HE MIGHT BE GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS HERE, JOHN DOESN’T THINK SO. >> WELL, I THINK REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS, HE WOULD CLAIM VICTORY AND, OF COURSE, ACCUSE HALEY OF CHEATING OR SAY SHE DIDN’T WIN JUST AS HE DID WHEN TED CRUZ WON IOWA. HE SAID HE DIDN’T WIN.

BUT I THINK IT IS A GOOD TIME TO PAUSE AND LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, NIKKI HALEY IS THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A REPUBLICAN WOMAN HAS, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY GOTTEN INTO THE SEMIFINALS HERE AGAINST THE PERSON WHO WAS ESSENTIALLY AN INCUMBENT PRESIDENT. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE REPUBLICANS THINK THAT HE WON

IN 20, EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN’T REALLY THE ELECTION. AND SHE IS, YOU KNOW, BEEN ABLE TO BEAT OFF, YOU KNOW, RON DESANTIS WHO IS THOUGHT TO BE THE HEIR APPARENT. A FORMER VICE PRESIDENT, MIKE PENCE. AND SHE BEEN THERE FIGHTING. AND I WOULD REMIND PEOPLE THAT,

YOU KNOW, TED CRUZ WENT ALL WAY TO THE CONVENTION, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT DONALD TRUMP, YOU KNOW, WON. AND HE DID THAT BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP WAS SUCH A FLAWED. AND DONALD TRUMP, OF COURSE, WAS MORE TIMES INDICTED THAN. >> SO I THINK NIKKI HALEY MAY

STILL GO ON AT THIS POINT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT TONIGHT. >> YOU KNOW, JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, BARBARA, LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT, BECAUSE WE ALL REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION WHEN HILLARY CLINTON STARTED TO UP AND THEN BECOME A CONTENDER AS WELL. AND EVERYBODY ABOUT HOW HISTORIC THAT WAS.

AND HERE WAS THIS WOMAN, YOU KNOW, THAT HAD GONE THROUGH SO MUCH AND MADE IT TO THE POINT THAT SHE THAT SHE DID. NOW, YOU’VE GOT NIKKI HALEY, A REPUBLICAN. JUST, YOU KNOW, LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT AND WHAT SHE’S DONE.

>> WELL LISTEN, IT’S A LOT TOUGHER ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE BECAUSE IT’S, YOU KNOW, YOU’VE SEEN FOCUS GROUPS WHERE YOU HAVE REPUBLICAN, EVEN REPUBLICAN WOMEN. WELL, AS MEN SAYING WE DON’T THINK WE WANT A WOMAN FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. SO IT IS TO HER GREAT CREDIT THAT SHE HAS GOTTEN THIS FAR.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WEAKNESSES THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE ON THE BALLOT IT IS WITH WOMEN. IT IS WITH MINORITIES. IT’S WITH THOSE SWING VOTERS WHERE WE KNOW THAT NIKKI HALEY IS THE STRONGEST. AND, OF COURSE, SHE’S BEEN THE CANDIDATE THAT IS POLLED THE BEST OF ALL THE CANDIDATES AGAINST, JOE BIDEN.

YET, AS JONATHAN KARL’S BOOK HAS SHOWN, REPUBLICAN BASE VOTERS WANT TO KEEP ON LOSING WITH DONALD TRUMP. SO HERE WE ARE. WELL, YOU MENTIONED BIDEN, MARSHA, LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN, NOT ON THE NEW HAMPSHIRE BALLOT. YOU KNOW, THIS HAS CREATED A LOT OF CONTROVERSY BETWEEN

STATE AND NATIONAL DEMOCRAT. WHAT’S THE GOAL HERE? AND DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD OR BAD MOVE ON BEHALF OF THE DNC? WELL, EITHER THE PRESIDENT BIDEN IS GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE HERE. WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT HE WOULD BE THE NOMINEE. THERE ARE OTHER TWO CANDIDATES

THAT HAVEN’T EVEN MADE A MARK AT ALL. SO I THINK THAT THAT IS WHAT WE ARE PREPARING. AND AS THE CONGRESSWOMAN JUST SAID, DONALD TRUMP TONIGHT IS HE’S NEVER CONFRONTED OR THAT’S A FORMIDABLE CHALLENGE. CHALLENGER. NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS ARE INTERESTING TO WATCH IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE OF THE INDEPENDENCE.

YOU KNOW, THOSE WHO TURN OUT TO VOTE IN EITHER PARTY. THE STATE DECLARES SUCH UNDECLARED VOTERS TO TO CAST BALLOTS. SO IT’LL BE INTERESTING WATCH TONIGHT. BUT EITHER WAY, DONALD TRUMP HAS A PROBLEM COMING FOR HIM IN NOVEMBER. YOU KNOW WE KNOW THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE WAGED WAR AGAINST HIS CURRENT CAMPAIGN,

ARE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE HALEY ON THE BALLOT AND HE’S UP AGAINST JOE BIDEN, WHO’S GOT AN INCREDIBLE RECORD TO RUN, WHO’S WORKING FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS. AND HE SAID HE’LL STAND UP FOR WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOMS, WHICH THEY KICKED OFF YESTERDAY . >> SO I THINK THAT WILL RESONATE WITH VOTERS EVEN MORE.

AND BE MAKING A SPEECH VERY SOON THIS AFTERNOON. MARSHA, BARBARA, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT, STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN, NINE. NOW TO THE DEADLIEST ATTACK ON ISRAELI TROOPS SINCE THE WAR HAMAS BEGAN.

AT LEAST 24 ISRAELI SOLDIERS ARE DEAD AFTER AN ATTACK IN GAZA. THE IDF SAYING THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ISRAELI TROOPS KILLED TO 221. PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAYS A MILITARY INVESTIGATION IS ALREADY UNDERWAY. LET’S BRING IN OUR CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, MATT GUTMAN. HE’S IN TEL AVIV. MATT HERE, THAT INCIDENT

HAPPENED RIGHT ALONG THE GAZA ISRAEL BORDER ON THE GAZA INSIDE ISRAEL WAS APPARENTLY TRYING TO CREATE PART OF THAT BUFFER ZONE THAT IT SAYS IT’S GOING TO NEED IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAR IS OVER. AND BASICALLY THEY’VE BEEN DEMOLISHING A HUGE NUMBER OF HOMES RIGHT THERE ON THE BORDER.

AND THAT’S WHAT THIS UNIT OF RESERVE SOLDIERS WAS DOING. THEY’RE PREPARING TO BLOW UP A PAIR OF TWO STORY HOMES. APPARENTLY, HAMAS SAYS THAT IT FIRED A MISSILE AT A TANK THAT EXPLODED. FOR SOME REASON. THE EXPLOSION CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION THAT TRIGGERED THE MINES THAT THEY WERE

PLACING IN THOSE TWO BUILDINGS AND CAUSED A MASSIVE EXPLOSION. ALSO THE BUILDINGS TO COME DOWN ON THE SOLDIERS INSIDE. 21 DEAD IN THAT INCIDENT ALONE. WE DON’T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WOUNDED. ISRAEL ALSO LOST THREE SOLDIERS EARLIER IN THE DAY. REALLY ONE OF THE WORST DAYS FOR ISRAEL.

IT’S PUTTING A LOT OF PRESSURE ON ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU, WHO HAS BEEN SAYING THAT WE FIGHT AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT UNTIL ABSOLUTE VICTORY. BUT ISRAELIS ARE STARTING WONDER WHAT ABSOLUTE VICTORY LOOKS LIKE. THERE’S ALSO MOUNTING PRESSURE ON HIM NOW TO FOCUS SOLELY ON BRINGING BACK THE THAT HAPPENED NOT FAR FROM

THE SECOND LARGEST CITY IN GAZA AND UNITS. THAT IS WHERE WE’RE SEEING THE INTENSE FIGHTING THAT WE’VE SEEN IN WEEKS INCLUDED AIRSTRIKES, TANKS ESSENTIALLY ENCIRCLING THIS CITY, INCLUDING THE THERE. WE ARE HEARING OF INTENSE FIGHTING. MANY DOZENS OF KILLED THE PALESTINIAN HEALTH MINISTRY RUN BY AND THE COMMUNISTS SAYING THAT NEARLY 200

HAVE BEEN KILLED. THAT NUMBER MAY RISE. MANY MORE HAVE BEEN WOUNDED AND THOUSANDS HAVE FLED THE CITY. WE ACTUALLY JUST SPOKE VIA TEXT WITH A WOMAN WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO FOR A WHILE. SHE CAN ONLY SEND MEMOS BECAUSE THERE’S NO RECEPTION. AND SHE DESCRIBED HAVING TO FLEE A U.N. SHELTER THERE

BECAUSE OF THE FIRING AND THE SHOOTING THAT WAS RIGHT NEARBY. SHE’S NOW STUFFED IN A HOUSE WITH HER BROTHER IN THE SOUTHERN OF RAFAH, 20 PEOPLE. SHE SAYS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FOOD, NOT ENOUGH WATER, THERE’S ALMOST NO ELECTRICITY. YOU HAVE TO GO ELSEWHERE TO GET IT. THAT, AS THE U.N. IS NOW

SAYING, THAT NEARLY 600,000 PALESTINIANS, 570,000 PALESTINIANS ARE SUFFERING FROM CATASTROPHIC HUNGER IN THE GAZA STRIP. THAT’S MORE THAN A QUARTER OF THE POPULATION KYRA. RIGHT. OH, NO.

NEWS LITERATE AMERICA. GOT YOU’RE STREAMING WITH US. PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE UP TO CAMPAIGN FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN VIRGINIA THIS AFTERNOON IN THEIR FIRST JOINT APPEARANCE OF THE 2024 CAMPAIGN. THE DUO PLANS TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR STRATEGY TO MAKE ABORTION ACCESS THE MAIN MESSAGE AHEAD OF THEIR LIKELY REMATCH

WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. HARRIS WAS IN WISCONSIN YESTERDAY TO MARK WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 54TH ANNIVERSARY OF ROE VERSUS WADE, PRESIDENT BIDEN ALSO MARKED THE OCCASION BY CRITICIZING WHAT HE CALLS EXTREME REPUBLICANS WHO PLACE WOMEN’S HEALTH AND LIVES AT RISK. >> TAKE A LISTEN. FOLKS, THIS IS WHAT LOOKS LIKE

WHEN THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY IS UNDER ATTACK. THESE EXTREME LAWS HAVE NO PLACE, NO PLACE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT NINA WANG IS ACTUALLY IN MANASSAS, VIRGINIA, TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT. SO, CELINA, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS MAKING ABORTION RIGHTS ONE OF THE TOP

PRIORITIES IN THE REELECTION CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW. NOW, IS THIS COUNTERPROGRAMMING TO THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY? YEAH, WELL, LOOK, IT JUST UNDERSCORES HOW CRITICAL THEY SEE THIS AS WE HEAD INTO THE GENERAL ELECTION. THEY BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S TO GALVANIZE VOTERS AND UNITE VOTERS ACROSS PARTY LINES, REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS.

AS WE’VE SEEN STATES RED AND BLUE VOTE TO ENSHRINE ABORTION RIGHTS. INCLUDING HERE IN VIRGINIA, WHERE THIS RALLY IS BEING HELD. THIS IS WHERE VOTERS HAVE REJECTED GLAD YOUNG KIDS. REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS PLAN FOR THAT 15 WEEK ABORTION BAN. SO AT A TIME WHEN THIS PRESIDENT, HE’S DEALING WITH LOW APPROVAL RATINGS,

HE’S DEALING WITH VOTER FRUSTRATION AROUND INFLATION. THEY BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO DRIVE VOTERS THE POLLS. AND AT A TIME WHEN REPUBLICANS, THEY’RE STILL FIGHTING IT OUT FOR TO DETERMINE WHO’S GOING TO BE THE NEXT REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. AND AS THEY ARE DIVIDED ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OVER JUST HOW TO DEAL WITH

THE TRICKY ISSUE OF ABORTION, THEY VIEW DEMOCRATS AS RALLYING AND UNITING AROUND THIS GROUP. SO SINCE ROE VERSUS WADE WAS OVERTURNED TWO YEARS AGO, AT LEAST 16 STATES HAVE SEIZED NEARLY ALL ABORTION SERVICES. JUST YESTERDAY, THE WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCING THIS NEW INITIATIVE THAT YOU’VE TALKED ABOUT TO EXPAND ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION,

ABORTION, MEDICATION, EMERGENCY ABORTION CARE. >> WHAT MORE DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? HERE IS A LOOK HERE. LOOK, THESE ARE PRETTY MODEST ACTIONS THAT BUILD THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY SIGNED. AND THE WHITE HOUSE’S MESSAGE IS THAT THEY’RE DOING WHAT THEY CAN SINCE ROE HAS BEEN OVERTURNED.

BUT TO ENSHRINE THOSE RIGHTS. THEY WANT CONGRESS TO PASS SWEEPING LEGISLATION THAT WILL CODIFY THE RIGHTS FOR WOMEN UNDER ROE. BUT SOME OF THESE EXECUTIVE ACTIONS, THEY INCLUDE EDUCATING PATIENTS AROUND THEIR RIGHTS TO EMERGENCY AND MEDICAL ACCESS UNDER THE LAW. IT ALSO INCLUDES STRENGTHENING ACCESS, ABORTION AND REMINDING PEOPLE THAT UNDER NO COST,

UNDER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, TO TRY TO LAY OUT PLANS TO EDUCATE ON THOSE FRONTS. BUT AGAIN, WHITE HOUSE’S MESSAGE IS THEY’RE DOING WHAT THEY CAN. BUT THERE ARE LIMITS WITHOUT CONGRESS. ALL RIGHT, SUZANNE, WITH THE PRESIDENT THERE IN VIRGINIA, WE’LL CHECK IN WITH YOU ONCE HE STARTS TALKING. THANKS, ALINA.

AND A NEW WARNING ABOUT SKY ROCKETING THEFT ON MANY POPULAR PAYMENT APPS. ALSO, LAYOFFS HAVE LED TO A 24 HOUR WALKOUT IN THE FASHION WORLD. PLENTY OF ECONOMIC HEADLINES COVER WITH OUR BUSINESS CORRESPOND ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS. SO, ALEXIS IT AWAY. BUSY DAY ON THE BUSINESS FRONT, KYRA. WE’RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH THE

MANHATTAN ATTORNEY SAYING THAT THEFT IS SKYROCKETING AT PEER TO PEER PAYMENT APPS LIKE VENMO, ZELLE, PAYPAL AND CASH APP. NOW IN SOME INSTANCES, VICTIMS ARE BEING DRUGGED OR THREATENED WITH BODILY HARM. THEY HAND OVER ACCESS TO THE APPS, AND BANKS ARE NOT ALWAYS RETURNING CUSTOMER MONEY, EVEN IF THEY WERE

VICTIMS OF FRAUD.

BATTLE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY NOW VOTERS DECIDING BETWEEN TRUMP AND HALEY. POWERHOUSE POLITICAL TEAM BREAKING DOWN THE STATE OF THE RACE. DEADLY ATTACK. TWO DOZEN ISRAELI SOLDIERS KILLED IN GAZA. THE NEW DETAILS WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT WENT DOWN IN THE WAR ZONE. AND FLOOD RAVAGED EXTREME

LEAVING A PATH OF DESTRUCTION ACROSS CALIFORNIA. LANDSLIDES WATER RESCUES AND EVACUATION WARNINGS ARE SOMARA THEODORE. >> HAS IT ALL TIMED OUT FOR US? AND GOOD AFTERNOON. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, HOWEVER, AS DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY, AS THEY GET READY TO RUMBLE, THE FIRST IN THE

NATION PRIMARY NOW UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND VOTERS ARE PACKING IN THE POLLS ALL ACROSS THE GRANITE. TRUMP ACTUALLY MAKING A SURPRISE VISIT TO A POLLING LOCATION IN LONDON JUST A SHORT BIT AGO. FORMER PRESIDENT AIMING FOR A BIG AGAINST THE FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR. BUT DESPITE POLLS TIPPING

IN TRUMP’S FAVOR FOR MUCH OF THE RACE SO FAR, IT HASN’T BEEN A GOOD START IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR SWEEPING HER RIVAL SIX VOTES TO ZERO IN THE TINY TOWN OF DIXVILLE NOTCH, WHICH CONTINUES ITS TRADITION OF CASTING VOTES RIGHT AT MIDNIGHT, LEADING US UP AT A

POLLING STATION THERE IN NEW BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. HOURS BEING SHOT. ALSO, OUR CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT, JONATHAN KARL WILL TALK ABOUT TRUMP’S SURPRISE, SURPRISE VISIT IN JUST A SECOND. SECOND, BUT SOARING. NIKKI HALEY MAY HAVE HAD A STRONG SHOWING IN DIXVILLE NOTCH, BUT HAMPSHIRE VOTERS HAVE HAD THEIR EYES ON TRUMP

FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW, A VERY LONG TIME HERE. AND, YOU KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT TRUMP’S SURPRISE VISIT. WELL, HALEY ACTUALLY GAVE THIS VERY POLLING LOCATION A SURPRISE VISIT JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO WITH CHRIS SUNUNU. BUT YEAH, EXACTLY. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT SNAPSHOT OF THOSE SIX VOTERS.

IT’S NOT A GOOD ONE. RIGHT. AND IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A REALLY GOOD SNAPSHOT OR A FLASHBACK IN TIME THAT REPRESENTS THIS MOMENT BETWEEN THESE CANDIDATES. 1987 IS WHEN DONALD TRUMP FIRST CAME DOWN HERE TO FLIRTING WITH A POLITICAL RUN TO NEW HAMPSHIRE. HE SPOKE TO A VERY LARGE CROWD

IN PORTSMOUTH. IN FACT, THE TIMES THAT IT WAS BIGGER THAN CROWDED REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES AT THAT TIME WHO WERE OFFICIAL CANDIDATES, HAD HE SAID THAT HE WAS TIRED OF NICE PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON AND HE GOT A BIG REACTION. THE SAME KIND OF REACTION THAT WE HEAR PEOPLE WHO WERE VOTING FOR HIM TODAY SAY

ABOUT HIM. YOU KNOW, THEY SAID BACK THEN, HE’S SO AMERICAN LIKE MOM AND APPLE PIE AND HE LOVES COUNTRY. SO HE’S JUST REALLY EXISTED IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE FOR SO LONG. THE PEOPLE HERE FOR SO LONG. I THINK IT’S A STRONGER SNAPSHOT THAN THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THIS MORNING IN THE

SMALL TOWN OF SIX. SO JOHN HALEY HAS BEEN IN FORCE ALL MORNING, AS ZARINA JUST POINTED OUT, SURPRISING VOTERS AT POLLING STATIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. NOW YOU HAVE TRUMP WHO DID THE SAME THING IN LONDON. VERY. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? DO YOU THINK? >> GETTING NERVOUS?

YOU KNOW, I DON’T TRUMP IS NERVOUS. I THINK THEY’RE EXTREMELY CONFIDENT. I JUST SPOKE TO TO ONE OF HIS TOP SUPPORTERS UP THERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WHO’S PREDICTING A NOT JUST A WIN OVER NIKKI HALEY, A LANDSLIDE WIN. WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. LOOK, WE DON’T KNOW. NEW IS NOT A STATE THAT HAS

MUCH EARLY VOTING OR A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS THAT WERE CAST BEFORE THE DAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT’S WHAT HAPPENS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE LOOMS LARGER. I WOULD ARGUE THIS CYCLE THAN IT HAS AT ANY TIME SINCE THE ADVENT OF THE MODERN PRIMARY SYSTEM. I MEAN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, IF

NEW HAMPSHIRE DELIVERS BIG VICTORY TO DONALD TRUMP TONIGHT, IT’S HARD. SEE HOW NIKKI HALEY’S CAMPAIGN CONTINUES. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF NIKKI HALEY SOMEHOW PULLS OFF WHAT WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS UPSET, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE POLLING IN THE LAST DAYS, IT WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT BLOW . TRUMP SHE WOULD FACE STILL AN

UPHILL BATTLE FROM HERE, BUT IT WOULD RESET THE RACE. SO, LOOK, NEW HAMPSHIRE IN SOME WAYS MAYBE THE ONLY THING THAT STANDS BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AT THIS MOMENT OF BECOMING THE NEXT REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. >> WELL, HOW ABOUT ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES, JOHN, THAT HAVE NOW GONE FROM COMPETING AGAINST TRUMP TO

ENDORSING HIM? I MEAN, THE OPPOSITION HAS COMPLETELY EVAPORATED. THEY’RE KISSING RING. IS THAT AUDITION TIME FOR A POSSIBLE RUNNING HERE? >> I MEAN, WHAT’S GOING ON? I MEAN, THERE’S CLEARLY SOME OF THAT GOING ON. YOU, SENATOR TIM SCOTT, OUT ON THE STAGE WITH HIM THAT LIKE VERY MUCH SOMEBODY AUDITIONING

TO BE VICE PRESIDENT. BUT IT IS IT IS, FRANKLY, KYRA, IT’S EXTRAORDINARY THE WAY DONALD TRUMP NOW WITH JUST 56,000 PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HIM IN IOWA. AND WHATEVER HAPPENS HERE TONIGHT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE MAY BE CONSIDERED THE EFFECTIVELY THE REPUBLICAN PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE AFTER ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED. SOMEBODY LEFT THE WHITE

HOUSE IN DISGRACE THREE YEARS AGO, SOMEBODY WHO WAS BLAMED FOR REPUBLICAN LOSSES IN THE MIDTERMS IN 2022, SOMEBODY WHEN HE LAUNCHED HIS CAMPAIGN, HAD VIRTUALLY NOBODY SUPPORTING HIM, NONE OF HIS FORMER SENIOR ADVISERS, NO SIGNIFICANT REPUBLICAN ELECTED OFFICIALS. AND HE HE TRAILING RON DESANTIS WHEN HE FIRST ANNOUNCED HE WAS RUNNING.

AND LOOK THE WAY HE IS, ONE BY ONE PICKED THEM ALL OFF WITHOUT IN A SINGLE DEBATE, WITHOUT CAMPAIGNING MUCH SPENT AS MUCH TIME, MAYBE MORE TIME IN COURTROOMS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THAN HE HAS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AND HERE WE ARE. IT’S REALLY A STATEMENT ABOUT.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AS MUCH AS IT IS A STATEMENT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, AND IT’S A STATEMENT ABOUT HOW HE HAS TAKEN OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AGAIN. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN. NEW HAMPSHIRE, IF THERE WILL BE A RESET, BUT THAT’S THE WAY IT FEELS GOING IN TO THE VOTES

ARE BEING COUNTED TONIGHT. AND THAT’S CERTAINLY THE WAY CRITICS SEEM TO BE HOLDING THEMSELVES OR HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. AND ABSOLUTELY THE WAY TRUMP AND HIS TEAM ARE LOOKING AT IT AT THIS MOMENT, JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU’VE SEEN IT ALL YOU HAVE IT. AND IT ALL GOES BACK TO DONALD

TRUMP ZOHREEN SHAH. JON KARL, THANKS, GUYS, SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION NOW WITH OUR CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN FROM VIRGINIA, BARBARA COMSTOCK, ALSO FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, MARCIA ESPINOSA. SO, BARBARA, WHAT DO YOU THINK

ABOUT TRUMP MAKING THIS SURPRISE APPEARANCE AT THE POLLING PLACE IN LONDON BARRY? >> DO YOU THINK HE MIGHT BE GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS HERE? >> JOHN DOESN’T THINK SO. WELL, I THINK REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS. HE WOULD CLAIM VICTORY AND, OF COURSE, ACCUSE HALEY OF CHEATING OR SAY SHE DIDN’T,

JUST AS HE DID WHEN TED CRUZ WON IOWA. HE SAID HE DIDN’T WIN. BUT I THINK A BIG WIN, A GOOD TIME TO PAUSE AND LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, NIKKI HALEY IS THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A REPUBLICAN WOMAN HAS KNOW, BASICALLY GOTTEN INTO THE SEMIFINALS HERE AGAINST THE PERSON WHO IS

ESSENTIALLY AN INCUMBENT PRESIDENT. YOU KNOW, A LOT THESE REPUBLICANS THINK THAT HE WON IN 20, EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN’T WIN THE ELECTION. AND SHE HAS, YOU KNOW, ABLE TO BEAT OFF, YOU KNOW, RON DESANTIS WHO WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE HEIR APPARENT. A FORMER VICE PRESIDENT, MIKE PENCE.

AND SHE IS STILL IN THERE FIGHTING. AND I WOULD REMIND PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, TED CRUZ WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CLEAR AT THAT POINT THAT DONALD TRUMP, YOU KNOW, HAD WON. AND HE DID THAT BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP WAS, SUCH A FLAWED CANDIDATE.

AND DONALD TRUMP, OF COURSE, WAS MORE TIMES INDICTED THEN. SO I THINK NIKKI HALEY MAY STILL GO ON AT THIS POINT REGARDLESS WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT. >> YOU KNOW, JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, BARBARA, LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT, BECAUSE WE ALL REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION WHEN HILLARY CLINTON STARTED

TO RISE UP AND THEN BECOME A CONTENDER AS WELL. AND EVERYBODY TALKED ABOUT HOW HISTORIC THAT WAS. AND HERE WAS THIS WOMAN, YOU KNOW, THAT HAD GONE THROUGH SO MUCH AND MADE IT TO THE POINT THAT SHE THAT SHE DID. NOW, YOU’VE GOT NIKKI HALEY, A REPUBLICAN. JUST, YOU KNOW, LET’S TALK

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT AND WHAT SHE’S DONE. >> LISTEN, IT’S A LOT TOUGHER ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE BECAUSE ,YOU KNOW, YOU’VE SEEN FOCUS GROUPS WHERE YOU HAVE REPUBLICAN, EVEN REPUBLICAN WOMEN AS WELL AS MEN, SAYING WE DON’T THINK WE WANT A WOMAN, THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

SO IT IS TO HER GREAT CREDIT THAT SHE HAS GOTTEN THIS FAR. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WEAKNESSES THAT WE’VE REPUBLICANS HAVE ON THE BALLOT, IT IS WITH WOMEN, IT IS WITH MINORITIES. IT’S THOSE SWING VOTERS WHERE WE KNOW THAT NIKKI HALEY IS THE STRONGEST AND. OF COURSE, SHE’S BEEN

THE CANDIDATE THAT HAS PULLED THE BEST OF ALL CANDIDATES AGAINST JOE BIDEN. YET, AS JONATHAN KARL’S BOOK HAS SHOWN, REPUBLICAN BASE VOTERS WANT TO KEEP ON LOSING WITH DONALD TRUMP. SO HERE WE ARE. >> WELL, YOU MENTIONED BIDEN, MARSHA, LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN. NOT ON THE NEW HAMPSHIRE BALLOT.

YOU KNOW, THIS HAS CREATED A LOT OF CONTROVERSY BETWEEN STATE AND NATIONAL DEMOCRATS. WHAT’S THE GOAL HERE? AND DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD OR, BAD MOVE ON BEHALF OF THE DNC? WELL, EITHER WAY, THE PRESIDENT BIDEN IS GOING BE THE NOMINEE HERE. WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT HE WOULD

BE THE NOMINEE. THERE ARE OTHER TWO CANDIDATES THAT THAT HAVEN’T EVEN MADE A MARK AT ALL. >> SO I THINK THAT THAT IS WHAT WE ARE PREPARING FOR. AND AS THE CONGRESSWOMAN JUST SAID, TRUMP TONIGHT, THIS IS SOMETHING HE’S NEVER CONFRONTED OR THAT’S A FORMIDABLE CHALLENGE. CHALLENGER NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS

ARE INTERESTING TO WATCH, IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE OF THE INDEPENDENT, YOU KNOW, THOSE WHO TURN OUT TO VOTE IN EITHER PARTY. THE STATE DECLARES, SUCH UNDECLARED VOTERS TO TO CAST BALLOTS. SO IT’LL BE TO WATCH TONIGHT. BUT EITHER WAY, DONALD TRUMP HAS A PROBLEM COMING FOR HIM IN NOVEMBER. YOU KNOW WE KNOW

THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE WAGED WAR AGAINST HIS CURRENT CAMPAIGN, ARE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE HALEY ON THE BALLOT, AND HE’S UP AGAINST JOE BIDEN, WHO’S GOT AN INCREDIBLE RECORD TO RUN ON. HE’S WORKING FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS AND HE SAID HE’LL STAND UP FOR WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOMS, WHICH THEY KICKED YESTERDAY.

SO I THINK THAT WILL RESONATE WITH VOTERS EVEN MORE. >> AND HE’LL BE MAKING A SPEECH VERY SOON THIS AFTERNOON. MARCIA, BARBARA, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT, STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN.

NOW TO THE DEADLIEST ATTACK ON ISRAELI TROOPS SINCE THE WAR WITH HAMAS BEGAN. AT LEAST 24 ISRAELI SOLDIERS ARE DEAD AFTER AN ATTACK IN GAZA. THE IDF SAY THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ISRAELI TROOPS KILLED TO 221. PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAYS. THAT A MILITARY INVESTIGATION IS ALREADY UNDERWAY.

LET’S BRING IN OUR CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, MATT GUTMAN. HE’S IN TEL AVIV. MATT HERE, THAT INCIDENT HAPPENED RIGHT ALONG THE GAZA, ISRAEL BORDER ON THE GAZA INSIDE ISRAEL WAS APPARENTLY TRYING TO CREATE PART OF THAT BUFFER ZONE THAT IT SAYS IT’S GOING TO NEED IN THE FUTURE.

THIS WAR IS OVER AND BASICALLY THEY’VE BEEN DEMOLISHING A HUGE NUMBER OF HOMES RIGHT THERE ON THE BORDER. AND THAT’S WHAT THIS UNIT OF RESERVE SOLDIERS WAS DOING. THEY’RE PREPARING TO BLOW UP A PAIR OF TWO STORY HOMES. APPARENTLY, HAMAS SAYS THAT IT FIRED A MISSILE AT A TANK THAT EXPLODED.

AND FOR SOME REASON, THE EXPLOSION CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION THAT TRIGGERED THE MINES THAT THEY WERE PLACING IN THOSE TWO BUILDINGS AND CAUSED A MASSIVE EXPLOSION. ALSO CAUSING THE BUILDINGS TO COME DOWN ON THE SOLDIERS INSIDE. 21 DEAD IN THAT INCIDENT ALONE. WE DON’T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WOUNDED.

ISRAEL ALSO LOST THREE SOLDIERS EARLIER IN THE DAY. REALLY ONE OF THE WORST DAYS FOR ISRAEL. IT’S PUTTING A LOT OF PRESSURE ON ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU, WHO HAS BEEN SAYING WE WILL FIGHT AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT UNTIL ABSOLUTE VICTORY. BUT ISRAELIS ARE STARTING TO WONDER WHAT ABSOLUTE VICTORY LOOKS LIKE.

THERE’S MOUNTING PRESSURE ON HIM NOW TO FOCUS SOLELY ON BRINGING THE HOSTAGES. THAT HAPPENED NOT FAR FROM THE SECOND LARGEST CITY IN GAZA AND YUNIS. THAT IS WHERE WE’RE SEEING THE MOST INTENSE FIGHTING THAT WE’VE SEEN IN WEEKS INCLUDED AIRSTRIKES, TANKS, ESSENTIALLY ENCIRCLING THIS CITY, INCLUDING THE HOSPITALS THERE.

WE ARE HEARING OF INTENSE FIGHTING, MANY DOZENS OF KILLED. THE PALESTINIAN HEALTH MINISTRY RUN BY HAMAS UNISON SAYING THAT NEARLY 200 HAVE BEEN KILLED. THAT NUMBER MAY RISE. MANY MORE HAVE BEEN WOUNDED AND THOUSANDS HAVE FLED CITY. WE ACTUALLY JUST SPOKE VIA TEXT WITH A WOMAN WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO FOR A WHILE.

SHE CAN ONLY SEND VOICE MEMOS BECAUSE THERE’S NO RECEPTION. AND SHE DESCRIBED HAVING TO FLEE A U.N. THERE BECAUSE OF THE FIRING AND THE SHOOTING THAT WAS RIGHT NEARBY. SHE’S NOW STUFFED IN A HOUSE WITH HER BROTHER IN THE SOUTHERN TOWN OF RAFAH, 20 PEOPLE. SHE SAYS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH

FOOD, NOT ENOUGH WATER. THERE’S ALMOST NO ELECTRICITY. THEY HAVE TO GO ELSEWHERE TO GET IT. THAT AS THE U.N. IS NOW SAYING THAT NEARLY 600,000 PALESTINIANS, 570,000 PALESTINIANS ARE SUFFERING FROM CATASTROPHIC HUNGER IN THE GAZA STRIP. THAT’S MORE THAN A QUARTER OF THE POPULATION THERE KYRA. OH NO MATT GUTMAN IN TEL AVIV

FOR US, MATT, THANK YOU. WHAT POWERFUL STORM IS LASHING CALIFORNIA WITH TORRENTIAL RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING? SAN DIEGO UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY THIS HOUR, PICKING UP MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS. YESTERDAY.

WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO THE GRAVEL ROAD THAT IS SUPPOSED TO LEAD US TO AREA 51. ARE WE ALONE? IT’S ABOUT TIME NOW. FIND OUT THE ANSWER. >> ALIENS. ARE WE ALONE? NOW STREAMING ON. GOD, YOU’RE STREAMING WITH US. PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE TEAMING UP TO CAMPAIGN FOR REPRODUCTIVE

RIGHTS IN VIRGINIA THIS AFTERNOON IN THEIR FIRST JOINT APPEARANCE OF THE 2024 CAMPAIGN, THE DUO PLANS TO THEIR STRATEGY TO MAKE ABORTION ACCESS THE MAIN MESSAGE AHEAD OF THEIR LIKELY REMATCH WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. HARRIS WAS IN WISCONSIN YESTERDAY TO MARK WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 54TH ANNIVERSARY OF ROE VERSUS WADE.

PRESIDENT BIDEN ALSO MARKED THE OCCASION BY CRITICIZING WHAT HE CALLS EXTREME REPUBLICANS WHO PLACE WOMEN’S HEALTH AND LIVES AT RISK. >> TAKE A LISTEN. FOLKS, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY IS UNDER. THESE EXTREME LAWS HAVE NO PLACE, NO PLACE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT NINA WANG IS ACTUALLY IN MANASSAS VIRGINIA. THEY’RE TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT. SO, CELINA, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS MAKING ABORTION RIGHTS ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES IN THE REELECTION CAMPAIGN? RIGHT NOW? WHY NOW IS THIS COUNTERPROGRAMMING TO THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY? >> YEAH, WELL, LOOK, IT JUST

UNDERSCORES HOW CRITICAL THEY SEE THIS AS WE HEAD INTO GENERAL ELECTION. THEY BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO GALVANIZE VOTERS AND UNITE VOTERS ACROSS PARTY LINES, INCLUDING REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS. AS WE’VE SEEN, STATES BOTH RED AND BLUE, VOTE TO ENSHRINE ABORTION RIGHTS. INCLUDING HERE IN VIRGINIA,

WHERE THIS RALLY IS BEING HELD. IS WHERE VOTERS HAVE REJECTED GLEN JENKINS. THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS PLAN FOR THAT 15 WEEK ABORTION BAN. SO AT A TIME WHEN THIS PRESIDENT HE’S DEALING WITH LOW APPROVAL RATINGS, HE’S DEALING WITH VOTER FRUSTRATION AROUND INFLATION, THEY BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO DRIVE VOTERS TO THE POLLS.

AND AT A TIME REPUBLICANS, THEY’RE STILL FIGHTING IT OUT FOR TO DETERMINE WHO’S GOING TO BE THE NEXT REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. AND AS THEY ARE DIVIDED ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OVER JUST HOW TO DEAL WITH THE TRICKY ISSUE OF ABORTION, THEY VIEW DEMOCRATS AS AND UNITING AROUND THIS GROUP.

SO SENSE ROE VERSUS WADE WAS OVERTURNED TWO YEARS AGO, AT LEAST 16. STATES HAVE SEATS. NEARLY ALL ABORTION SERVICES JUST THE WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCING THIS NEW INITIATIVE THAT YOU’VE TALKED ABOUT TO EXPAND ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION, ABORTION, MEDICATION, EMERGENCY ABORTION CARE. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? >> WELL, CAROL, LOOK, THESE

ARE PRETTY MODEST ACTIONS THAT BUILD UPON THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY SIGNED. AND THE WHITE HOUSE’S MESSAGE IS THAT THEY’RE DOING WHAT THEY CAN. ROE HAS BEEN OVERTURNED. BUT TO ENSHRINE THOSE RIGHTS, THEY WANT CONGRESS PASS SWEEPING LEGISLATION THAT WILL CODIFY THE RIGHTS FOR WOMEN UNDER ROE.

BUT SOME OF THESE EXECUTIVE ACTIONS, THEY INCLUDE EDUCATING PATIENTS AROUND THEIR RIGHTS TO AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL ACCESS UNDER THE LAW. IT ALSO INCLUDES STRENGTHENING ACCESS TO ABORTION AND REMINDING PEOPLE THAT IT’S UNDER NO COST TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. TRY TO LAY PLANS TO EDUCATE ON THOSE FRONTS. BUT AGAIN, THE WHITE HOUSE’S

MESSAGES, THEY’RE DOING WHAT THEY CAN, BUT THERE ARE LIMITS WITHOUT CONGRESS. RIGHT. SUZANNE, WITH THE PRESIDENT THERE IN VIRGINIA, WE’LL CHECK IN WITH YOU ONCE HE STARTS TALKING ALINA. AND A NEW WARNING ABOUT SKYROCKETING THEFT ON MANY POPULAR PAYMENT APPS. ALSO, LAYOFFS THAT HAVE LED TO A 24 HOUR WALKOUT IN THE

FASHION WORLD. PLENTY OF ECONOMIC HEADLINES TO COVER WITH OUR BUSINESS CORRESPOND ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS. SO, ALEXIS, TAKE IT AWAY. BUSY DAY ON THE BUSINESS FRONT, KYRA. WE’RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYING THAT THEFT IS SKYROCKETING AT PEER TO PEER PAYMENT APPS LIKE VENMO, ZELLE, PAYPAL AND CASH APP.

NOW, IN SOME VICTIMS ARE BEING DRUGGED OR THREATENED WITH BODILY HARM UNLESS THEY HAND OVER ACCESS TO THE APPS. AND BANKS ARE NOT ALWAYS RETURNING CUSTOMER MONEY, EVEN IF THEY WERE VICTIMS OF FRAUD. IN A LETTER TO THE PAYMENT, APP’S MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG IS DEMANDING THAT THEY ADD MORE

SECURITY MEASURES, INCLUDING LOWERING THE NUMBER OF DAILY INCREASING PASSWORD SECURITY AND REQUIRING WAIT TIMES FOR LARGER TRANSACTIONS. MORE THAN 400 WORKERS AT VANITY FAIR, VOGUE, GQ AND OTHER MAGAZINE BRANDS WALKED OFF THE JOB TODAY IN NEW YORK. THEY’RE PROTESTING BARGAINING PRACTICES THE UNION SAYS ARE UNLAWFUL. THE ONE DAY WALKOUT COMES MONTHS.

THE MAGAZINE’S OWNER, CONDÉ NAST, SAID IT WOULD LAY OFF 5% OF ITS STAFF OR ABOUT 300 WORKERS. ABC HAS REACHED OUT TO CONDÉ NAST FOR COMMENT. >> RIOT GAMES, THE LATEST TECH COMPANY TO ANNOUNCE LAYOFFS. THE DEVELOPER OF VIDEO GAMES LIKE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS AND VALORANT IS CUTTING 530 JOBS.

THAT’S ABOUT 11% OF ITS WORKFORCE. RIOT, WHICH IS OWNED BY THE CHINESE TECH GIANT TENCENT, CALLS THE DOWNSIDE CRITICAL FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COMPANY. AND W W E FANS LISTEN UP BECAUSE THE SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT GIANT’S FLAGSHIP SHOW RAW IS HEADED TO NETFLIX BEGINNING JANUARY 20, 25.

WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU’RE WATCHING ABC NEWS LIVE RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS HEADING TO THE POLLS FOR THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY. IN THE RING, DONALD TRUMP, NIKKI HALEY, AS THEY FIGHT TO THE FINISH. WE’RE BREAKING DOWN THE STATE

OF THE RACE UNDERWATER TORRENTIAL RAIN PROMPTING FLASH FLOODING, LANDSLIDES, DARING RESCUES. SOME NEIGHBORHOODS NOW URGED TO EVACUATE THE. EXTREME WEATHER RAVAGING PARTS OF CALIFORNIA AND THE NOMINEES ARE ACTORS, ACTORS AND ACTRESSES ALL ABUZZ FOR THE OSCARS. SURPRISES AND SNUBS JUST AHEAD OF THE 96TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS. AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

I’M KYRA. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY READY TO RUMBLE. BUT FIRST, THE NATION PRIMARY NOW UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. VOTERS ARE PACKING TO THE POLLS ALL ACROSS THE GRANITE STATE. TRUMP ACTUALLY MADE A SURPRISE VISIT TO A POLLING LOCATION IN,

LONDONDERRY, JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. THE FORMER PRESIDENT AIMING FOR A BIG WIN AGAINST THE U.N. AMBASSADOR, LEADING US OFF AT A POLLING LOCATION IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. HOURS OR REGIONS OR TEAM TRUMP MAY BE POLLING HIGHER THAN HALEY, BUT IT ISN’T OVER YET. WHAT ARE VOTERS TELLING YOU HEY ,HERE, ARE YOU?

ACTUALLY, THERE’S A BUNCH OF VOTERS RIGHT BEHIND ME. YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE RETURN TO UNDECLARED LINE RIGHT NOW IS A LOT LONGER JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO. BUT THIS BASICALLY MEANS THAT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE ARE RETURNING BACK TO BEING INDEPENDENT, MEANS THEY VOTED RIGHT NOW

AND THEY VOTED EITHER IN THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT FOR THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT OR FOR THE DEMOCRATIC BALLOT. NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK IN A VERY COMPETITIVE REPUBLICAN RACE, WHICH BALLOT YOU THINK MOST OF THESE PEOPLE PICKED, YOU WOULD THINK REPUBLICAN IN SUCH A TIGHT RACE BETWEEN NIKKI HALEY AND DONALD

TRUMP THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT THE CASE. I SPOKE TO A FEW OF THESE PEOPLE HERE, ABOUT HALF OF THEM SAID THAT THEY WROTE IN JOE BIDEN, ANOTHER PERSON SAID, DEAN PHILLIPS, THAT MIGHT PAINT A MORE INTERESTING PHOTO LATER ON TONIGHT WHEN WE LEARN WHAT THE POINT DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN HALEY AND TRUMP.

NOW, WE HAVE SHOWN OVER HERE YOU VOTED FOR YOUR REPUBLICAN, YOU VOTED IN THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT. >> TELL US, WHAT DID YOU VOTE FOR? SURE. SO I VOTED NIKKI HALEY. I THINK PERSONALLY FOR WHERE I AM ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM, REALLY THE ONLY CHOICE RIGHT NOW FOR REPUBLICAN.

AND WHY IS THAT I JUST THINK TRUMP I THINK HE’S KIND OF OUT OF HIS MIND. I THINK IF LOOK AT HIM ON TV, I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT HIS POLICIES, A LOT OF WHAT HE SAID, WHAT HE’S DONE, IT JUST DOESN’T BODE WELL FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY.

>> WHO DO YOU THINK’S GOING TO WIN TONIGHT? THAT’S RIGHT. I WOULD TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. I’M PERSONALLY I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE A CLOSER RACE. BUT I DO THINK TRUMP IS SLIGHTLY BETTER. DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL I MEAN THAT’S WHAT THE POLLS ARE SUGGESTING AS WELL,

THAT SHE COULD HAVE A POTENTIAL BIDEN TRUMP REBOUND. SURE. FOR ME, IT’S DEEPLY CONCERNING. YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CANDIDATES THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE BETTER STATESMANSHIP, RIGHT. PEOPLE THAT I THINK REALLY REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY WELL PERSONALLY. LIKE I SAID, I DON’T THINK THAT’S TRUMP.

SO I THINK YOU RIGHT. I THINK WE ARE GOING BACK TO A REMATCH OF WHAT WE SAW. BUT, YOU KNOW WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. >> THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE FEELING IS THAT FRUSTRATION AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE HOME FEELING AS WELL. YES. KNOWING THAT IT’S LIKELY THOSE TWO MIGHT FACE OFF AGAIN.

HERE, PUT IT BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. SORRY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. LOVE TALKING TO VOTERS AND JUST KIND OF GETTING THE PULSE OF WHAT THEY’RE THINKING. WE’LL KEEP CHECKING BACK WITH YOU COURSE, THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. DOREEN, THANK YOU. OUR POLITICAL DIRECTOR, RICK KLEIN, IS ALSO TRACKING THE LATEST POLLS AND DATA.

BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR US, RICK. >> YEAH, KIERA, THIS IS THE LAST GLIMPSE WE’RE GOING TO GET OUT OF OUR FIVETHIRTYEIGHT POLLING AVERAGE AND. IT PAINTS A REALLY INTERESTING PORTRAIT OF WHAT’S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH ALL OF THE CANDIDATES DROPPING OUT AND ALL THE AD

MONEY AND ALL THE ENDORSEMENTS AND EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENING . YOU CAN SEE HOW NIKKI HALEY STARTED TO CLOSE THAT GAP, EVEN GETTING IT IN THE LOW DOUBLE DIGIT, BELOW DOUBLE DIGIT RANGE. AND THEN SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPENED JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, YOU STARTED TO SEE NIKKI HALEY CLIMB

A LITTLE BIT, BUT DONALD TRUMP CLIMB A LOT. >> AND THAT’S WHY YOU’RE LEFT WITH THIS 15 TO 16 POINT EDGE IN THE POLLING. WE’LL HAVE TO SEE. THAT IS BORNE OUT. AND YEAH, THE BIG THING TO WATCH AS AS THE NIGHT GOES ON IS GOING TO BE WHAT HAPPENS

WITH THOSE INDEPENDENT VOTERS. AS LOREEN WAS TALKING ABOUT, DONALD TRUMP IS WINNING, ACCORDING TO UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE POLL, WINNING CORE REPUBLICAN VOTERS 2 TO 1. 67% OF REPUBLICANS SAY DONALD TRUMP. >> SO TO THE EXTENT THAT NIKKI HALEY IS GETTING INDEPENDENTS OUT, 58% OF THEM SAY THEY’LL

SUPPORT HER, NOT QUITE AS MUCH, BUT IT’S ALMOST THE MIRROR IMAGE OF HERS AND IT TELLS YOU ABOUT THAT SPLIT IN THE PARTY. AND AGAIN, GOING BACK TO WHAT MAUREEN WAS TALKING ABOUT IN A TYPICAL YEAR, ABOUT A THIRD OF THE VOTERS THAT SHOW UP IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN NEW

HAMPSHIRE ARE INDEPENDENTS. THEY’RE NOT PART OF EITHER PARTY. >> BUT IN A YEAR WHERE THERE IS NO DEMOCRATIC CONTEST TO SPEAK OF, YOU GET HIGHER THAN THAT. IN 2012, 45%. DOES NIKKI HALEY GET TO THAT KIND OF NUMBER OR NOT? THAT’S GOING TO BE A KEY QUESTION.

DO YOU DRIVE THOSE PEOPLE OUT, THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN LINE RIGHT NOW SAYING THEY WANT TO VOTE IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, BUT ACTUALLY THEY’RE INDEPENDENT, THEY’RE UNDECLARED VOTERS. THAT IS THE KEY TO KEEP IT CLOSE. IF YOU’RE NIKKI HALEY AND IT’S COMPLICATED, AS ALREADY MENTIONED, BY THE FACT THAT THE

DEMOCRATIC CONTEST ISN’T VACANT, THERE’S THAT WRITE IN CAMPAIGN FOR JOE BIDEN. THERE’S SO MANY COMPLICATED THINGS ABOUT THIS RACE THUS FAR. RICK, APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. LET’S BRING IN OUR DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST, JULIA GARNSEY NOW, ALONG WITH CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN OF VIRGINIA, BARBARA COMSTOCK. BARBARA, LET’S START WITH YOU.

WIN OR LOSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. HALEY SAYS IT WILL NOT BE GAME OVER FOR HER. HOW DO YOU SEE TODAY IMPACTING THE RACE AND ULTIMATELY JUST HER LONGEVITY? >> WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, SHE HAS BEEN THE FIRST REPUBLICAN WOMAN THAT HAS GOTTEN THIS FAR AGAINST SOMEBODY, ESSENTIALLY AN INCUMBENT PRESIDENT.

AND SHE HAS SHOWN HERSELF TO NOT ONLY BE POPULAR AMONG REPUBLICANS, BUT ALSO SHE CAN GET THAT IMPORTANT SWING VOTE. SO THAT HAS BEEN THE REPUBLICANS PROBLEM. REPUBLICANS HAVEN’T THE POPULAR VOTE SINCE 2004. >> SO, JULIE, THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF BACKLASH OVER THE CHANGES MADE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

DO YOU THINK IT WAS A GOOD MOVE. >> WELL, LOOK, TO THE EXTENT THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WANTED TO DIVERSIFY THE PRIMARY CALENDAR, TO HAVE IT BETTER REFLECTS THE DEMOCRATIC BASE AND ALSO THE COUNTRY AT LARGE. I THINK IT WAS A SMART MOVE. >> I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE MAY BE UPSET

ABOUT IT. THEY BE PENALIZING HIM FOR TODAY BECAUSE IT SEEMS NOT ON THE BALLOT. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT’S OF HEARTENING FOR THE PRESIDENT TO SEE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE LINING UP TO WRITE HIS NAME IN. >> AND THE QUESTION FOR ME, THIS DEMOCRATIC PERSPECTIVE IS EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL

GO TO THE TROUBLE OF WRITING HIS NAME IN THAT HE SHOWED AN INTENSITY OF SUPPORT BEHIND THE PRESIDENT AND THE DEMOCRATIC BASE. >> SO JILL BIDEN IS BANKING ON ANOTHER OFF WITH TRUMP. BUT WHAT IF HALEY CHOSEN AS THE GOP CANDIDATE LATER THIS YEAR? >> NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT I’M

SURE SHE’S CHOSEN. >> I’M SURE SHE’S CHOSEN DONALD TRUMP WILL, SAME AS AN UNFAIR, RIGGED ELECTION, TELL HIS SUPPORTERS TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES. AND EITHER WAY, SHE CAN’T WIN BECAUSE OF COURSE, IF SHE IF SHE’S THE NOMINEE, THERE’S WAY THAT DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO GO QUIETLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT.

HE’S GOING TO TELL HIS THAT IT WAS STOLEN AND THEY SHOULD STAY HOME. >> OR WORSE YET, TRY TO DISRUPT THE ELECTION. SO THERE IS NO PATH FORWARD FOR NIKKI HALEY, EVEN IF BY SOME MIRACLE OF GOD, SHE BECOMES THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. SPEAKING OF MIRACLES FROM GOD, BARBARA, QUICKLY, COULD WE EVER

IN IN SEE A TRUMP HALEY TICKET ? WELL, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, FOR NIKKI HALEY, I HOPE THAT’S NOT THE CASE, BECAUSE I THINK SHE HAS A BRIGHTER FUTURE GOING TO BE ON THE TICKET WITH DONALD TRUMP. BUT I THINK SORT OF THAT MAGA HARD CORE BASE PROBABLY WOULDN’T LIKE THAT EITHER. OKAY.

STAY TUNED. JULIE, BARBARA, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. THAT LET’S GET TO THE RISING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE PENTAGON SAYING THAT US AND BRITISH FORCES ACTUALLY LAUNCHED ANOTHER MAJOR

AIR AND MISSILE ATTACK IN YEMEN TARGETING THE IRAN HOUTHIES FOR THE REBELS CONTINUED ATTACKS ON COMMERCIAL SHIPS IN THE RED, THIS TIME STRIKING AN UNDERGROUND HOUTHI STORAGE LOCATION AND DRONE AND MISSILE SITES. WHILE YEMEN IS WARNING THESE NEW ATTACKS WILL NOT GO UNANSWERED OR UNPUNISHED. THIS ALSO AS DEFENSE SECRETARY

LLOYD AUSTIN ACTUALLY MADE HIS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE. AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE SINCE BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR PROSTATE CANCER. FOR MORE, LET’S IN OUR SENIOR PENTAGON REPORTER, JOEY MARTINEZ. SO, FIRST OF ALL, SOME OF THESE STRIKES, HAVE THEY BEEN EFFECTIVE IN ANY WAY? THE HOUTHIS KEEP ATTACKING AND THE DISRUPTION WITHIN THESE

TRADING ROUTES IS COSTING THE U.S. A LOT OF MONEY. THAT’S RIGHT, KYRA. THESE THESE STRIKES HAVE HAD AN EFFECT. WHEN YOU TALK TO U.S. OFFICIALS, THEY SAY THAT THE HOUTHIS CAPABILITY OF LAUNCHING THESE STRIKES AGAINST COMMERCIAL SHIPPING INSIDE, THE RED SEA AND THE GULF OF ADEN HAS BEEN DEGRADED.

NOW, OF COURSE, ABLE TO CONTINUE DOING SO. AND U.S. OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEY ALWAYS ANTICIPATED AT THAT POINT THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE CASE THAT THE HOUTHIS ,ENOUGH CAPABILITY, ENOUGH MISSILE AND DRONE CAPABILITY TO CONTINUE CARRYING THIS OUT. BUT WHAT YOU’RE NOT SEEING, ACCORDING TO THESE OFFICIALS,

ARE THESE LARGE THAT WE SAW JUST BEFORE THE FIRST AMERICAN AND BRITISH AIRSTRIKES TEN DAYS AGO. SO I THINK AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE THIS NEW ROUND OF ACTION THAT WE SEE ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW, THERE’S AMERICAN FIGHTER AIRCRAFT TAKING OFF FROM AIRCRAFT CARRIER DWIGHT EISENHOWER. YOU CAN CONTINUE SEE YOU YOU

CAN’T REALLY CONTINUE TO SEE MORE U.S. ACTIVITY PROBABLY IN CASE THOSE STRIKES DO CONTINUE. BUT EFFORT HERE IS DEGRADING. AND I THINK THE U.S. FEELS THAT THEY’VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THAT. >> SO ISRAEL SAYS THAT 24 IDF SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN SOUTHERN GAZA, 21 IN A BUILDING BLAST, THREE IN

A SEPARATE INCIDENT. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW? CAROL, THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT WHERE 21 OF THOSE SOLDIERS FROM THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES WERE KILLED AS A BUILDING COLLAPSED. WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS AN UNFORTUNATE SERIES OF A DOMINO ,IF YOU WILL, AN EXPLOSIVE DOMINO EFFECT. HAMAS FIGHTER HAD LAUNCHED AN

RPG TOWARDS A TANK. THE TANK EXPLODED. THAT CREATED AN EXPLOSION WHERE THERE WERE ADDITIONAL TROOPS IN THE NEARBY AREA AND PARTICULARLY INSIDE BUILDINGS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN TRIGGERED FOR. THAT’S WHAT CAUSED THE BUILDING TO COLLAPSE. THAT’S WHAT CAUSED THE MAJOR NUMBER OF FATALITIES. >> SO REAL QUICKLY, WE SAW

SECRETARY AUSTIN IN THAT TELECONFERENCE. IT’S THE FIRST TIME SINCE BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR PROSTATE CANCER, WHICH HE KEPT A AS WE KNOW. YOU STILL DON’T TALK ABOUT IT. DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HEALTH OR IS HE GOING TO ADDRESS. I MEAN, BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED ? WELL, THAT’S A BIG QUESTION HERE.

WE’RE STILL NOT SURE. HE IS WORKING FROM HOME. DOCTORS ARE GIVING AN EXCELLENT PROGNOSIS FOR HIS CANCER AND THEY SAY THAT HE IS RECOVERING WELL FROM THE COMPLICATIONS FROM THE MEDICAL PROCEDURE THAT HE HAD TO TREAT HIS CANCER. BUT AGAIN HE DID NOT ADDRESS IT IN HIS OPENING REMARKS AS THAT

THE UKRAINE CONTACT GROUP THIS MORNING. AND IT’S UNCLEAR WHEN HE’S GOING TO GO BACK TO THE OFFICE AND WHEN HE IF HE WHEN HE DOES COME BACK, WHETHER HE’S GOING TO ADDRESS IT PUBLICLY. ALL RIGHT. LUIS MARTINEZ FOR US THERE AT THE PENTAGON. LILLY, THANK YOU. THAT POWERFUL STORM IS LASHING

CALIFORNIA WITH TORRENTIAL RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. SAN DIEGO UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY THIS HOUR. IT’S PICKING UP MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS. HEAVY RAIN ALSO FLOODING THE ROADS THERE, SLICK STREETS MAKING FOR TREACHEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS. AND THE HIGH WATER, IT’S PROMPTING SEVERAL RESCUES

IN THE AREA. ALREADY ONE MAN CRAWLING THROUGH HIS CAR WINDOW JUST TO ESCAPE THE FLOODING THAT YOU SEE. OUR METEOROLOGIST SOMARA THEODORE IS TRACKING ALL THAT EXTREME WEATHER FOR US. KIND TIME AT TIME IT OUT FOR US AGAIN. >> I GOT YOU HERE. ALL RIGHT. SO A VERY PROLIFIC FLOODING WE

SAW IN PARTS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WHAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU NOW IS THE YOU KNOW, WHAT? >> STAND BY. WE’RE STILL GOING TO DO THIS. SOMETHING’S WRONG WITH THE GRAPHICS. NONETHELESS, A LOT OF THAT RAIN THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING IS GOING TO START TO MOVE OUT OF SOUTHERN AND CONTINUE ITS

PROGRESSION EASTWARD. WE’RE ALSO TRACKING DISTURBANCE THAT IS GOING TO BE HEADED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY, THE HEARTLAND, THAT’S BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. OKAY. SO WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM THAT’S COMING INTO CALIFORNIA FROM SEATTLE TO SAN FRANCISCO. IT’S GOING TO BE BRINGING

A GOOD AMOUNT OF RAIN THIS. SECOND ROUND, THOUGH, DOES LEAVE CITIES LIKE LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO DRY. SO THAT’S NEWS. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE’RE TRACKING RIGHT NOW. THE MORE IMMINENT THREAT IS A STORM SYSTEM THAT’S MOVING THROUGH STATES LIKE ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA PARTS OF TEXAS AND EVEN MISSISSIPPI.

WE HAVE A VERY HIGH FLASH FLOODING RISK. THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND A TORNADO THREAT ACTUALLY TODAY AND TOMORROW FROM HOUSTON ALL THE WAY TO NASHVILLE. FINALLY, THE OTHER STORY WE’VE BEEN COVERING, THESE TEMPERATURES. >> MY GOODNESS, IT HAS BEEN SO COLD, BRUTAL, COLD OUT THERE.

>> WE ARE WARMING UP AS WE HEAD TO THE OF THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES IN CHICAGO INTO THE 40S. JACKSONVILLE THEY’LL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER SEVENTIES, WASHINGTON, D.C., AROUND 68 DEGREES. >> AND KYRA, THE GOOD NEWS IS IN PARTS OF FLORIDA, SOUTHERN FLORIDA, TO BE EXACT.

>> THEY’RE GOING TO BE IN THE EIGHTIES BY THE END OF THE WEEK . SAMARRA, YOU ARE SO SMOOTH. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES DO NOT IMPACT YOUR FORECAST. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COMING UP, PROSECUTORS SAY THAT THEY GAVE THEIR SON THE GUN. NOW THE MOTHER OF CONVICTED MASS SHOOTER, NATHAN CRUMBLY,

IS IN COURT. THE PRECEDENT IT MAY SET NEXT WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS. >> WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, NATION AT WAR. AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS. >> THE GROUND IN UKRAINE. REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING. ABC NEWS LIVE IS RIGHT THERE

CHANGE FOR THE WIENERMOBILE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AMERICA THIS MORNING AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHAT WHAT DO YOU SEE? MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS “START HERE” TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES.

A LOT OF NEWS TODAY. SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR EDWARD R AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST. WORTH LISTENING TO YOU STAR HERE ABC NEWS. MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN.

>> NOW, THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. SO THERE’S A HISTORIC TRIAL TODAY IN MICHIGAN. PROSECUTORS THAT JENNIFER CRUMBLY GAVE HER SON ACCESS TO A GUN. NOW SHE’S COURT FACING FOUR COUNTS OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER AFTER HER SON

ETHAN, CRUMBLY, OPENED FIRE AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL, KILLING FOUR PEOPLE AND WOUNDING SEVERAL OTHERS. ETHAN HAS SINCE BEEN TO LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE. PROSECUTORS SAY HIS PARENTS DIDN’T TELL SCHOOL OFFICIALS ETHAN HAD ACCESS TO THAT GUN WHEN THEY WERE CALLED TO A SCHOOL MEETING ABOUT RED FLAGS

AND THEIR SON’S BEHAVIOR JUST HOURS BEFORE THE SHOOTING. NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME PARENTS HAVE EVER BEEN CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH A SCHOOL SHOOTING. LET’S BRING IN OUR TREVOR AULT WHO’S COVERING THE STORY, US AND OUR LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR, CHANNA LLOYD. SO, TREVOR, LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENED FAR IN

TRIAL AND THE EVIDENCE THAT IS BEING USED AGAINST THE PARENTS. >> YES. SO, KYRA, RIGHT NOW THEY’RE IN THE JURY SELECTION PHASE. THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED POTENTIAL JURORS IN THIS CASE. THEY’RE GOING TO NAIL IT DOWN TO 1712 ON THE MAIN JURY AND THEN FIVE ALTERNATES. THAT PROCESS COULD TAKE

SOME TIME, AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE ,OF THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN THIS AREA WHERE THE SCHOOL SHOOTING HAPPENED. THE JUDGE HAS ALREADY SAID TODAY THEY’RE NOT TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AWARE THIS SHOOTING OCCURRED. THEY’RE TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE WHO CAN BE IMPARTIAL. RIGHT NOW, THEY’RE ASKING THEM

A LOT OF QUESTIONS IF THEY KNOW THE NAMES OF PEOPLE IN THE CASE, IF THEY HAVE CERTAIN FEELINGS, GUNS OR POLICE TRYING TO NAIL IT DOWN TO 17. NOW, IN TERMS OF EVIDENCE BOTH AGAINST JENNIFER CRUMBLEY AND HER HUSBAND JAMES CRUMBLY, BECAUSE THEY’RE BOTH BUT THEY’RE BEING TRIED SEPARATELY.

THERE IS A LAUNDRY LIST OF MISTAKES AND RED FLAGS AND MISSED WARNING SIGNS. YOU MENTIONED THAT THE COUPLE BOUGHT THEIR SON THIS GUN AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT. THEIR SON, THE GUN WAS KEPT UNLOCKED EVEN THOUGH HE WAS JUST 15. THEY WERE REQUIRED TO KEEP IT LOCKED. >> THERE WERE A NUMBER

OF WARNING SIGNS ABOUT HIS MENTAL ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS. HE WROTE IN HIS JOURNAL THAT HIS PARENTS HATED EACH OTHER, THAT THEY HAD NO MONEY, THAT THEY WEREN’T DOING ANYTHING TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH, AND THAT WAS MAKING HIM WANT TO SHOOT UP A SCHOOL. THERE WERE TIMES WHERE HE WAS

CAUGHT AT SCHOOL LEADING UP TO THE SHOOTING, GOOGLING AMMUNITION DURING WHICH THE SCHOOL THEN CONTACTED THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, IGNORED THE AND THEN THE MOTHER, JENNIFER CRUMBLY, TEXTED HER SON, WELL, I’M NOT MAD AT YOU. YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW NOT TO GET CAUGHT. YOU ALSO MENTIONED THE DAY

OF THE SHOOTING. SO ETHAN CRUMBLY, THE SHOOTER IS MENTAL HEALTH IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN DETERIORATING. HE WAS CAUGHT BY AS A TEACHER WITH SOME DRAWINGS AND A NOTEBOOK AND HAD A GUN AND HAD A BEING SHOT. HE HAD WRITTEN THINGS LIKE THE THOUGHTS WON’T STOP. HELP ME.

THEY CALLED THE PARENTS INTO THE SCHOOL. THEY BOTH SHOWED UP. THE SCHOOL ASKED THEM. DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR SON HOME? THE PARENTS SAID NO. AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT, A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, THIS SHOOTING OCCURRED. AND THEN, OF COURSE AFTER THAT, AFTER THE PARENTS WERE ARRAIGNED TO THIS UNPRECEDENTED CHARGES.

DON’T FORGET, KYRA, THEY MISSED THEIR ARRAIGNMENT BECAUSE PROSECUTORS SAID THEY WENT ON THE THE PROSECUTOR SAID THAT THEY WITHDREW THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM AN ATM. THEY WERE FOUND THE NEXT MORNING IN AN EMPTY WAREHOUSE. OF COURSE, THEIR ATTORNEYS SAY, LOOK, THEY OPENLY ADMIT THESE WERE NOT GREAT PARENTS.

IN FACT THEY SAY THEY MADE A LOT OF BAD PARENTAL DECISIONS, BUT IT’S NOT NECESSARILY THE LAW TO BE A BAD PARENT. THEY SAY THEY DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS GOING TO SHOOT UP A AND THUS THEY ARE NOT GUILTY OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. GOSH, THERE ARE JUST SO MANY WARNING SIGNS.

CHANNA, LET’S ABOUT HOW THIS COULD SET A PRECEDENT NOW FOR OTHER PARENTS OR GUARDIANS OF MASS SHOOTERS. >> ABSOLUTELY. CARE WHAT WE SEE REALLY AS A TRIAL AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAD ENOUGH INFORMATION TO TAKE ACTION BEFORE THIS SHOOTING TOOK PLACE. THIS CAN SET A VERY

BIG PRECEDENT BECAUSE WHAT IT’S TELLING PARENTS IS YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO A CERTAIN LEVEL FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S BEHAVIOR. WHAT ARE THEY DOING IF YOU SEE CLEAR WARNING SIGNS? YOU HAVE TO RESPOND APPROPRIATELY. AND THAT’S WHAT THESE CHARGES ARE ESSENTIALLY TELLING, PEOPLE GOING FORWARD AND NOT JUST WARNING SIGNS.

>> THEY GAVE THEM ACCESS TO A GUN. IT’S JUST IT’S REALLY HARD JUST ,YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND THEIR HERE. AND ETHAN’S LAWYERS HAVE NOW APPEALED HIS LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE SENTENCE. SHAUNA, WHAT DO YOU THINK THEIR STRATEGY IS HERE AND WHAT THE ODDS THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT

PAROLE IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY GIVEN IN THAT STATE DUE TO HIS AGE. >> SO THIS IS A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE JUDGE REALLY ABUSED ITS DISCRETION, WHETHER HE SHOULD HAVE HAD THE OPTION FOR PAROLE. >> THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME LOOK AT THIS, BECAUSE WHENEVER WE TALK

ABOUT JUVENILES WITHIN, A SYSTEM THAT ARE GETTING ADULT PENALTIES, IT’S GOING TO BE SCRUTINIZED HEAVILY. >> TREVOR, KEEP US UPDATED ON COURT. AND SEANA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ANALYSIS. NOW TO A HEALTH ALERT. IT’S A STUDY IN JAMA NEUROLOGY THAT FINDS THAT RESEARCHERS MAY

BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO A NEW BLOOD TEST THAT COULD ACTUALLY THOSE WHO ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S. OUR MEDICAL DR. DARIEN SUTTON JOINS US NOW TO TALK ABOUT IT. SO TELL US ABOUT THE RESEARCH. >> IT’S INCREDIBLE RESEARCH. SO THIS STUDY HAS BEEN SHOWING THAT A BLOOD TEST CAN HELP

WITH SCREENING FOR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND AFFECTS THE CURRENTLY 6 MILLION AMERICANS TODAY PROJECTED TO INCREASE TO MORE THAN 13 MILLION IN THE YEAR 2050. >> SO THIS TEST IS LOOKING FOR ABNORMAL PROTEINS. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE IS THAT THERE’S A BUILDUP OF PROTEIN WITHIN THE BRAIN AND THEN THAT CREATES

THE SYMPTOMS. SO FAR THE ACCURACY OF THIS TEST SEEMS TO BE COMPARABLE OF THE SCREENING TESTS THAT WE DO CURRENTLY IN, THE HOSPITAL, AND THAT INCLUDES A VARIETY OF TESTS HERE. IT STARTS WITH NEURAL AND COGNITIVE TESTING. IT ADDS BRAIN IMAGING AS WELL AS SPINAL FLUID TESTING. SO THERE’S A POSSIBILITY THAT A

SIMPLE BLOOD TEST CAN REPLACE OF THIS. THAT’S INCREDIBLE. SO HOW SOON COULD IT BECOME AVAILABLE? >> YOU KNOW, THE COMPANY THAT HAS PRODUCED THIS TEST HAS STATED THAT IT COULD BE AVAILABLE EARLY AS NEXT MONTH. RIGHT NOW, IT’S AVAILABLE FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES, BUT IT BE ABLE TO BE UTILIZED FOR

PATIENTS IN FEBRUARY, WHICH WOULD. INCREDIBLE. AS FOR THE COST OF IT, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE AVERAGE COST CAN RANGE 200 TO $500. IT MIGHT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE, BUT STILL, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT’S STILL INCREDIBLY LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE CURRENT TESTING THAT WE DO TODAY. >> WOW. ALL RIGHT.

AND WHAT CAN WE DO IN THE MEANTIME, JUST TO LOWER OUR RISK FOR ALZHEIMER’S? I HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS OFTEN WITH PATIENTS AND ALSO WITH MY FAMILY ABOUT REDUCING OUR RISK OF DEMENTIA. YOU KNOW, IT STARTS WITH JUST BASIC LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS WE CAN ALL DO TODAY. FIRST AND FOREMOST, UNDERSTANDING HOW TO REDUCE

YOUR VASCULAR THAT’S CONTROLLING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, YOUR CHOLESTEROL AND YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. ALSO BEING PHYSICALLY ACTIVE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR OLDER ADULTS, SOCIALLY ACTIVE. AND I THINK SOMETHING THAT’S OFTEN MISSED THAT PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE IS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF DEMENTIA IS HEARING TESTS. GETTING YOUR HEARING CHECKED,

ESPECIALLY AS YOU GET OLDER, IS VITAL. AND WHEN YOU HEAR YOU TAKE AN ENVIRONMENTAL CUES THAT HELPS YOUR BRAIN STAY HEALTHY AND THEN MOST IMPORTANTLY, GETTING APPROPRIATE. >> WOW. HEARING. I ACTUALLY DIDN’T KNOW THAT. AND THIS IS IN OUR FAMILY. DR. SUTTON. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OF COURSE.

OF THE PLANE AS IT HIT THE RUNWAY A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE AIRPORT SAYS THERE WERE NO DAMAGES TO THE RUNWAY OR TO THE PASSENGERS. A HISTORIC STRIKE THAT STARTED ENDED IN ONE DAY. THE CAL STATE FACULTY REACHING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM JUST HOURS AFTER THEIR PICKETING BEGAN. THE LIBRARIANS AND OTHER

EMPLOYEES HIT THE LINES. AFTER MONTHS OF CONTRACT, CENTERING AROUND PAY INCREASES AND IMPROVED BENEFITS. THE EMPLOYEES UNION SAYS THE DEAL INCLUDES A 5% SALARY INCREASE WITH OTHER FUTURE RAISES AND AN INCREASE IN PARENTAL LEAVE BENEFITS. TRIBUTES ARE POURING IN FOR DEXTER SCOTT KING, THE YOUNGEST SON OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER

KING JR. KING CENTER SAY THE DEXTER BATTLE CANCER AND PASSED AWAY AT HIS HOME ON SUNDAY. HIS OLDER BROTHER SAID IN A STATEMENT THE SUDDEN SHOCK IS DEVASTATING AND IT’S HARD TO HAVE THE RIGHT WORDS AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS. DR. SCOTT KING WAS 62. >> WELL, THE NOMINATIONS,

THE 96TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS, ARE OUT. HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST NIGHT IS SETTING UP TO BE A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN THE STORY OF THE BIRTH OF FIRST ATOMIC BOMB AND A TRUE CRIME. WESTERN DRAMA OPPENHEIMER TOPPING THE LIST WITH 13 NOMINATIONS. KILLERS OF THE FLOWER, MOON, POOR THINGS AND BARBIE ALSO RECEIVING MULTIPLE NOMINATIONS EACH.

OUR WILL GANSS JOINS US WITH MORE SCOOP. YOU’VE GOT THE SNUBS, THE SURPRISES. BUT LET’S START WITH BEST PICTURE. YEAH, WE’LL START WITH THE BEST PICTURE. OPPENHEIMER PULLING IN 13 NOMINATIONS, WHICH IS THE MOST OF ANY FILM THIS YEAR. >> AND IT’S ALL THE MAJOR CATEGORIES BEST BEST PICTURE,

BEST ACTOR, BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS. THIS REALLY A SURPRISE. THIS IS KIND OF THE FEVER FAVORITE GOING IN, BUT OTHER HALF OF THE BARBENHEIMER PHENOMENON THAT WE COULDN’T TALKING ABOUT LAST YEAR, BARBIE KIND OF COMING UP SHORT. >> AND WHAT I REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK

ABOUT BARBIE IS THE LACK OF A BEST DIRECTOR NOMINATION FOR GRETA GERWIG HERE. >> I MEAN, WHEN WE LOOK BACK AT LAST YEAR, THIS WAS THE BILLION DOLLAR BLOCK BUSTING BLOCKBUSTER AT THE BOX OFFICE. YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE? GRETA GERWIG WAS THE WOMAN BEHIND THIS MOVIE THAT REALLY SHAPED CULTURE.

LAST YEAR WE WERE WEARING HOT PINK. WE WERE GOING TO THE THEATER. SO FOR HER TO LEFT OUT OF THIS RACE, IT JUST FEELS SO ON THE NOSE IN A MOVIE ALL ABOUT FAVORING MEN AND WOMEN ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND IT JUST IT JUST, YOU KNOW, IT FEELS LIKE LIFE IMITATING ART,

WHICH WAS ALREADY IMITATING LIFE TO BEGIN WITH. I DON’T KNOW. I HAVE A LOT TO SAY. IT’S NOT IT’S JUST NOT RIGHT. WELL, THAT’S RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT BEST ACTRESS AND BEST ACTOR WHO STOOD TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS KELLY AND MURPHY FOR OPPENHEIMER AND FOR HOLDOVERS.

OF COURSE, WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT PAUL GIAMATTI. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE BEST ACTOR WILL BE A RACE BETWEEN THOSE TWO STANDOUTS, BOTH EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCES AND A REALLY HEART WRENCHING PERFORMANCE HERE, PAUL GIAMATTI AND THE HOLDOVERS. AND THEN AS FAR AS BEST ACTRESS LILY GLADSTONE IS NOMINATED FOR KELLY BEFORE ANYTHING.

MICHELLE, THAT IS A FAN FAVORITE AND IT’S A HISTORIC NOMINATION FOR SURE, AND THEN NOMINATED AGAINST HER FOR POOR THINGS. EMMA STONE. AND SHE IS, YOU KNOW, HER PRESS OF THIS ENTIRE OSCAR SEASON HAS BEEN AMAZING. PEOPLE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF HER. >> SO SHE’S A FAN FAVORITE AS WELL.

SO, BOTTOM LINE, WHERE ARE YOU THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT? BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WATCH ALL THIS STUFF SO CLOSELY. THIS IS THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION. SO ACTUALLY, WHAT I’M MOST EXCITED ABOUT THIS YEAR IS THE BEST ORIGINAL SONG NOMINATION. SO I KNOW I JUST TALKED A LOT ABOUT MANDY AND RECOGNIZED IT

WAY TOO MANY WAYS THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO BEST DIRECTOR. RYAN GOSLING IS NOMINATED FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG FOR I’M JUST CANNED SO THAT MEANS HE’S GOING TO GET OUT THERE WITH ALL THE OTHER CANS FROM THE MOVIE. MAYBE THEY’LL WORK SOME BOY BAND SURPRISES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

VOTERS HEADING TO THE POLLS FOR THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY. IN THE RING, DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY AS THEY FIGHT TO THE FINISH. WE’RE BREAKING DOWN THE STATE OF THE RACE. UNDERWATER, TORRENTIAL RAIN PROMPTING FLASH FLOODING, LANDSLIDES, DARING RESCUE. SOME NEIGHBORHOODS NOW URGED TO EVACUATE. THE EXTREME RAVAGING PARTS

OF CALIFORNIA. AND THE NOMINEES ARE ACTORS AND ACTORS AND ACTRESSES ALL ABUZZ FOR THE OSCARS. THE SURPRISES AND SNUBS JUST AHEAD OF THE 96TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS. AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, DONALD TRUMP AND NIKKI HALEY READY TO RUMBLE. THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY

NOW UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND VOTERS ARE PACKING TO THE POLLS ALL ACROSS THE GRANITE STATE. TRUMP ACTUALLY MADE A SURPRISE VISIT TO A POLLING LOCATION IN LONDONDERRY A SHORT TIME AGO. THE FORMER PRESIDENT AIMING FOR A BIG WIN AGAINST U.N. AMBASSADOR. LEADING US OFF AT A POLLING LOCATION BEFORE NEW HAMPSHIRE,

OUR SERENE SHORES, ORANGE. TRUMP MAY BE PULLING HIGHER THAN HALEY, BUT IT IS NOT OVER YET. WHAT ARE VOTERS TELLING YOU? HEY, KYRA. ACTUALLY, THERE’S A BUNCH OF VOTERS RIGHT BEHIND ME. YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE RETURN TO UNDECLARED LINE RIGHT NOW. SO A LOT LONGER JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO.

BUT THIS BASICALLY MEANS THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE ARE RETURNING BACK TO BEING INDEPENDENT. THEY VOTED RIGHT NOW AND THEY VOTED EITHER IN THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT FOR THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT OR FOR THE DEMOCRATIC BALLOT. NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK IN A VERY COMPETITIVE REPUBLICAN RACE? WHICH BALLOT YOU THINK MOST

OF THESE PEOPLE PICKED? YOU WOULD THINK REPUBLICAN WITH SUCH A TIGHT RACE BETWEEN NIKKI HALEY AND DONALD TRUMP, THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT THE CASE. I SPOKE TO A FEW OF THESE PEOPLE HERE ABOUT OF THEM SAID THAT THEY WROTE IN JOE BIDEN. ANOTHER PERSON SAID, DEAN PHILLIPS. THAT MIGHT PAINT A MORE

INTERESTING PHOTO. LATER ON TONIGHT WHEN WE LEARN WHAT THE POINT DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN HALEY AND TRUMP. NOW, WE HAVE SHOWN OVER HERE YOU VOTED ACTUALLY YOUR REPUBLICAN VOTED IN THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT. TELL US, WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR SURE? SO I VOTED NIKKI HALEY. I THINK PERSONALLY FOR WHERE

I AM ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM, IT’S REALLY THE ONLY CHOICE HERE NOW FOR A REPUBLICAN. AND WHY IS THAT. I JUST THINK TRUMP I THINK HE’S KIND OF OUT OF HIS MIND. IF YOU LOOK AT HIM ON TV, I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT HIS

POLICIES, A LOT OF WHAT HE SAID HE HAS DONE, IT JUST DOESN’T BODE WELL FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY. EXCUSE ME. ANSWER. WHO DO YOU THINK’S GOING TO WIN TONIGHT? THAT’S RIGHT. NO PROBLEM. I WOULD TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. PERSONALLY, I THINK IT IS GOING

TO BE A CLOSER RACE. BUT I DO THINK TRUMP IS SLIGHTLY BETTER. DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL UNLESS THE POLLS ARE SUGGESTING AS WELL, THEY SHOULD HAVE A POTENTIAL BIDEN TRUMP REMATCH? FOR ME, IT’S DEEPLY CONCERNING. YOU I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CANDIDATES THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE BETTER STATESMANSHIP, GREAT

PEOPLE THAT I THINK REALLY REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY WELL. PERSONALLY, LIKE I SAID, I DON’T THINK THAT’S TRUMP. SO I THINK YOU RIGHT. I THINK WE ARE GOING BACK TO A REMATCH OF WHAT WE SAW. BUT, YOU KNOW, SEE WHAT HAPPENS. >> THAT’S WHAT PROSTRATION YOU’RE FEELING IS THAT FRUSTRATION AND EXHAUSTION.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE TELL ME WHAT THEY’RE FEELING AS WELL, KNOWING THAT LIKELY THOSE TWO MIGHT FACE OFF AGAIN. I’M SURE WE’LL PUT IT BACK TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. LOVE TALKING TO VOTERS AND JUST KIND OF GETTING THE PULSE OF WHAT THEY’RE THINKING.

WE’LL KEEP CHECKING BACK WITH YOU OF COURSE, THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. SORRY. THANK YOU. OUR POLITICAL DIRECTOR, RICK KLEIN, IS ALSO TRACKING THE LATEST POLLS AND DATA. BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR US, RICK. KIERA, THIS IS THE LAST GLIMPSE WE’RE GOING TO GET AT OF OUR FIVETHIRTYEIGHT POLLING AVERAGE AND.

IT PAINTS A REALLY INTERESTING PORTRAIT OF WHAT’S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH ALL OF THE CANDIDATES DROPPING OUT AND ALL THE AD MONEY AND ALL THE ENDORSEMENTS AND EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENING . YOU CAN SEE HOW NIKKI HALEY STARTED TO CLOSE THAT GAP, EVEN GETTING IT IN IN THE LOW DOUBLE

DIGIT, BELOW DOUBLE DIGIT RANGE. AND THEN SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPENED JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. YOU STARTED TO SEE NIKKI HALEY CLIMB A LITTLE BIT, BUT DONALD TRUMP CLIMB A LOT. >> AND THAT’S WHY YOU’RE LEFT WITH THIS 15 TO 16 POINT EDGE IN THE POLLING. WE’LL HAVE TO SEE.

THAT IS BORNE OUT. AND YEAH, THE BIG THING TO WATCH AS THE AS THE NIGHT GOES ON IS GOING TO BE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THOSE INDEPENDENT VOTERS. AS LOREEN WAS TALKING ABOUT, DONALD TRUMP IS WINNING, ACCORDING TO LAST UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE POLL, WINNING CORE REPUBLICAN VOTERS 2 TO 1.

67% OF REPUBLICANS SAY DONALD TRUMP. SO TO THE EXTENT THAT NIKKI HALEY IS GETTING THOSE INDEPENDENTS OUT, 58% OF THEM SAY THEY’LL SUPPORT HER NOT QUITE AS MUCH, BUT IT’S ALMOST THE MIRROR IMAGE OF HERS. AND IT TELLS YOU ABOUT THAT SPLIT IN THE PARTY. AND AGAIN, GOING BACK TO WHAT

MAUREEN WAS TALKING ABOUT IN A TYPICAL YEAR, ABOUT A THIRD OF THE VOTERS THAT SHOW UP IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE INDEPENDENTS. >> THEY’RE NOT PART OF EITHER PARTY. BUT IN A YEAR WHERE THERE IS NO DEMOCRATIC CONTEST TO SPEAK OF, YOU GET HIGHER THAN THAT IN 2012, 45%.

DOES NIKKI HALEY GET TO THAT KIND OF NUMBER OR NOT? THAT’S GOING TO BE A KEY QUESTION. DO YOU DRIVE THOSE PEOPLE OUT, THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALIGNED RIGHT NOW SAYING THEY WANT TO VOTE IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, BUT ACTUALLY THEY ARE INDEPENDENT, THEY’RE UNDECLARED VOTERS. THAT IS THE KEY TO KEEP IT

CLOSE. IF YOU’RE NIKKI HALEY AND IT’S COMPLICATED, AS ALREADY MENTIONED, BY THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATIC CONTEST ISN’T VACANT. DOES THAT WRITE IN CAMPAIGN FOR JOE BIDEN? THERE’S SO MANY COMPLICATED THINGS ABOUT THIS RACE THUS FAR. RICK, APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. LET’S IN OUR DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST JULIA GUESSING NOW ALONG

WITH CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER CONGRESSMAN OF VIRGINIA, BARBARA COMSTOCK. BARBARA, LET’S START WITH YOU. WIN OR LOSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, HALEY SAYS IT WILL NOT BE GAME OVER FOR HER. HOW DO YOU SEE TODAY IMPACTING THE RACE AND ULTIMATELY JUST HER LONGEVITY? >> WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, SHE

HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST REPUBLICAN WOMAN THAT HAS GOTTEN THIS FAR AGAINST SOMEBODY WHO’S ESSENTIALLY AN INCUMBENT PRESIDENT. AND SHE HAS SHOWN HERSELF TO NOT ONLY BE POPULAR AMONG REPUBLICANS, BUT ALSO SHE CAN GET THAT IMPORTANT SWING VOTE. SO THAT HAS BEEN REPUBLICANS PROBLEM. REPUBLICANS HAVEN’T WON

THE POPULAR VOTE SINCE 2004. >> SO, JULIE, THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF BACKLASH OVER THE CHANGES MADE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> DO YOU THINK IT WAS A GOOD MOVE? >> WELL, LOOK, TO THE EXTENT THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WANTED TO DIVERSIFY THE PRIMARY CALENDAR, TO HAVE IT BETTER

REFLECTS THE DEMOCRATIC BASE, ALSO THE COUNTRY AT LARGE. I THINK IT WAS A SMART MOVE. I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE MAY UPSET ABOUT IT. THEY MAY BE PENALIZING HIM FOR TODAY BECAUSE IT SEEMS NOT ON THE BALLOT. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT’S HEARTENING FOR

THE PRESIDENT TO SEE THAT THERE ARE LINING UP TO WRITE HIS NAME IN. AND THE QUESTION FOR ME, DEMOCRATIC PERSPECTIVE IS EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL GO TO THE TROUBLE OF WRITING HIS NAME IN. THAT MAY SHOW THE INTENSITY OF BEHIND THE PRESIDENT TO THE DEMOCRATIC BASE.

>> SO, JULIE BIDEN IS BANKING ON ANOTHER FACE OFF WITH TRUMP . BUT WHAT IF HALEY IS CHOSEN AS THE GOP CANDIDATE LATER THIS YEAR? >> IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT I’M SURE IF SHE’S CHOSEN I’M SURE IF SHE’S CHOSEN DONALD ,TRUMP WILL SAY IT WAS AN UNFAIR, RIGGED ELECTION.

HE’LL TELL HIS SUPPORTERS TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES. >> EITHER WAY, SHE CAN’T WIN BECAUSE, OF COURSE, SHE SHE’S THE NOMINEE. THERE’S NO WAY THAT DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO GO QUIETLY INTO GOOD NIGHT IS GOING TO TELL HIS PEOPLE THAT IT WAS STOLEN AND THEY SHOULD AT HOME

OR WORSE YET, TRY TO DISRUPT THE ELECTION. SO THERE’S NO DOUBT AWARD FOR NIKKI HALEY, EVEN IF BY SOME MIRACLE OF GOD SHE BECOMES THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. >> SPEAKING OF MIRACLES FROM GOD. BARBARA COMSTOCK, QUICKLY, COULD EVER IN IN SEE A TRUMP HALEY TICKET. WELL, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, FOR

NIKKI HALEY, I HOPE THAT’S NOT THE CASE BECAUSE I THINK SHE HAS A BRIGHTER FUTURE TO BE ON THE TICKET WITH DONALD TRUMP. BUT I THINK SORT OF THAT MAGA BASE PROBABLY WOULDN’T LIKE THAT EITHER. >> OKAY, STAY TUNED. BARBARA, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. AND BE SURE TO STREAM

OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY ON ABC NEWS LIVE TONIGHT STARTING AT 7 P.M. EASTERN. NOW LET’S GET TO THE RISING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE PENTAGON SAYING THAT U.S. AND BRITISH FORCES ACTUALLY LAUNCHED ANOTHER MAJOR AIR AND MISSILE ATTACK IN YEMEN TARGETING. THE RUN BACK TO THINGS FOR

THE REBELS, CONTINUED ATTACKS ON COMMERCIAL SHIPS IN THE RED SEA, THIS TIME STRIKING AN UNDERGROUND HOUTHIS STORAGE LOCATION AND DRONE AND MISSILE SITES. WELL, YEMEN IS WARNING THAT THESE NEW ATTACKS WILL NOT GO UNANSWERED OR UNPUNISHED. IT’S ALSO COMES AS DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN ACTUALLY MADE HIS FIRST PUBLIC

APPEARANCE, AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE SINCE BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR, PROSTATE CANCER. FOR MORE, LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR PENTAGON REPORTER, LUIS MARTINEZ. SO, FIRST OF ALL, TO TALK ABOUT THESE STRIKES, HAVE THEY BEEN EFFECTIVE IN ANY BECAUSE THE HOUTHIS KEEP ATTACKING AND THE DISRUPTION WITHIN THESE

TRADING ROUTES IS COSTING U.S. A LOT OF MONEY? THAT’S RIGHT, KYRA. THESE THESE STRIKES HAVE HAD AN EFFECT. WHEN YOU TALK TO U.S. OFFICIALS, THEY SAY THAT HOUTHIS CAPABILITY OF LAUNCHING THESE STRIKES AGAINST COMMERCIAL SHIPPING INSIDE THE RED SEA AND THE GULF OF ADEN HAS BEEN DEGRADED. OF COURSE, THEY’RE ABLE

TO CONTINUE DOING SO. AND U.S. OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEY ALWAYS ANTICIPATED AT THAT POINT THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE CASE THAT THE HOUTHIS HAVE ENOUGH CAPABILITY, ENOUGH MISSILE AND DRONE CAPABILITY TO CONTINUE CARRYING THIS OUT. BUT WHAT YOU’RE NOT SEEING, ACCORDING TO THESE OFFICIALS, THESE LARGE STRIKES THAT WE SAW

JUST BEFORE THE FIRST AMERICAN AND BRITISH AIRSTRIKES ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO. SO I THINK AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE THIS NEW ROUND OF ACTION THAT WE SEE ON THE STREET RIGHT NOW, THOSE AMERICAN FIGHTER AIRCRAFT TAKING OFF FROM THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER DWIGHT EISENHOWER, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SEE

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN’T WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE MORE U.S. ACTIVITY PROBABLY IN CASE THOSE STRIKES DO. BUT THE EFFORT HERE IS DEGRADING. AND I THINK THE U.S. FEELS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THAT. >> SO ISRAEL SAYS 24 IDF SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN SOUTHERN GAZA, 21 IN

A BUILDING BLAST, THREE IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW? YEAH, KYRA, THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT WHERE 21 OF THOSE SOLDIERS FROM THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES WERE KILLED AS BUILDING COLLAPSED. WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS AN UNFORTUNATE SERIES OF A DOMINO EFFECT, IF YOU WILL, AN EXPLOSIVE DOMINO EFFECT.

HAMAS FIGHTER HAD LAUNCHED AN RPG TOWARDS A TANK. THE TANK EXPLODED. THAT CREATED AN EXPLOSION WHERE THERE WERE ADDITIONAL TROOPS IN THAT NEARBY AREA AND PARTICULARLY INSIDE BUILDINGS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN TRIGGERED FOR. DEMOLITION. THAT’S WHAT CAUSED THE BUILDINGS COLLAPSED. THAT’S WHAT A MAJOR NUMBER OF FATALITIES. SO REAL QUICKLY, WE SAW

SECRETARY THERE IN THAT TELECONFERENCE, IT’S FIRST TIME SINCE BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR PROSTATE CANCER, WHICH HE KEPT A SECRET AS WE KNOW. HE STILL DIDN’T TALK ABOUT IT. DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIS OR IS HE GOING TO ADDRESS? I MEAN, BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED ? WELL, THAT’S A BIG QUESTION.

CAN WE STILL NOT SHARE? HE IS WORKING FROM HOME. DOCTORS ARE GIVING HIM AN EXCELLENT PROGNOSIS FOR HIS CANCER AND THEY THAT HE IS RECOVERING WELL FROM THE COMPLICATIONS FROM THE MEDICAL PROCEDURE THAT HE HAD TO TREAT HIS CANCER. BUT AGAIN HE DID NOT ADDRESS IT

IN HIS OPENING REMARKS, AS AT THE UKRAINE CONTACT GROUP THIS MORNING. AND IT’S UNCLEAR WHEN HE’S GOING TO GO BACK TO THE OFFICE AND WHEN HE IF HE WHEN DOES COME BACK, WHETHER HE’S GOING TO ADDRESS IT PUBLICLY. ALL RIGHT, LUIS MARTINEZ FOR US THERE AT THE PENTAGON. LILLY, THANK YOU.

THAT POWERFUL STORM IS LASHING CALIFORNIA WITH TORRENTIAL RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. SAN DIEGO UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY THIS HOUR. IT’S PICKING UP MORE THAN A MONTH’S WORTH OF RAIN IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS. HEAVY RAIN ALSO FLOODING THE ROADS THERE. SLICK STREETS MAKING FOR TREACHEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS. AND THE HIGH WATER,

IT’S PROMPTING SEVERAL RESCUES IN THE AREA. ALREADY ONE MAN CRAWLIN THROUGH HIS CAR WINDOW JUST TO ESCAPE THE FLOODING THAT YOU SEE. OUR METEOROLOGIST MARK THEODORE, IS TRACKING ALL THAT EXTREME WEATHER FOR US. KIND TIME TO TIME IT OUT FOR US AGAIN. >> I GOT YOU HERE. ALL RIGHT.

SO A VERY PROLIFIC FLOODING WE SAW IN PARTS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WHAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU NOW IS THE YOU KNOW, WHAT? STAND BY. WE’RE STILL GOING TO DO THIS. SOMETHING’S WRONG WITH THE GRAPHICS. NONETHELESS, A LOT OF THAT RAIN THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING IS GOING TO START TO MOVE OUT

OF SOUTHERN AND CONTINUE ITS PROGRESSION EASTWARD. WE’RE ALSO TRACKING A DISTURBANCE THAT IS GOING TO BE HEADED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY, THE HEARTLAND. IT’S BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. OKAY. WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM THAT’S COMING IN TO CALIFORNIA ,SEATTLE TO SAN FRANCISCO.

IT’S GOING TO BE BRINGING A GOOD AMOUNT OF RAIN THIS SECOND ROUND, THOUGH, DOES LEAVE CITIES LIKE LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO DRY. SO THAT’S GOOD NEWS. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE’RE TRACKING RIGHT NOW. THE MORE IMMINENT THREAT IS A STORM SYSTEM THAT’S MOVING THROUGH STATES LIKE ARKANSAS,

LOUISIANA OF TEXAS AND EVEN MISSISSIPPI. WE HAVE A VERY HIGH FLASH FLOODING RISK THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND A TORNADO THREAT ACTUALLY TODAY AND TOMORROW FROM HOUSTON ALL THE WAY TO NASHVILLE. FINALLY, THE OTHER STORY WE’VE BEEN COVERING, THESE TEMPERATURES. >> MY GOODNESS, IT HAS BEEN SO COLD BRUTAL, COLD OUT THERE.

>> WE ARE WARMING UP AS WE HEAD TO THE OF THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES IN CHICAGO INTO THE 40S. JACKSONVILLE THEY’LL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER SEVENTIES. WASHINGTON, D.C., AROUND 68 DEGREES. AND, KYRA, THE GOOD NEWS IS IN PARTS OF FLORIDA, SOUTHERN FLORIDA, TO BE EXACT. >> THEY’RE GOING TO BE IN THE

EIGHTIES BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SAMARRA, YOU ARE SO SMOOTH. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES DO NOT IMPACT YOUR FORECAST. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COMING UP, PROSECUTORS SAY THAT THEY GAVE THEIR SON THE GUN. NOW THE MOTHER OF CONVICTED MASS SHOOTER NATHAN CRUMBLY, IS COURT THE PRECEDENT IT MAY SET NEXT.

BREAKING NEWS, INCREDIBLE VIDEO FASTER, SMARTER AND CUSTOMIZABLE TO YOUR INTERESTS. IF YOU LOVE BEING IN THE KNOW, YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE THIS EXPERIENCE. >> THE ALL-NEW ABC NEWS APP DOWNLOAD IT NOW. SO THERE’S A HISTORIC TRIAL TODAY IN MICHIGAN. PROSECUTORS SAY THAT JENNIFER CRUMBLY HER SON ACCESS TO A GUN.

NOW SHE’S IN COURT FACING FOUR COUNTS OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER AFTER HER SON ETHAN OPENED FIRE AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL, KILLING FOUR PEOPLE AND WOUNDING SEVERAL OTHERS. ETHAN HAS SINCE BEEN SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE. PROSECUTORS SAY HIS PARENTS DIDN’T TELL SCHOOL OFFICIALS ETHAN HAD ACCESS TO THAT GUN

WHEN THEY CALLED TO A SCHOOL MEETING ABOUT RED FLAGS AND THEIR SON’S BEHAVIOR HOURS BEFORE THE SHOOTING. NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME PARENTS HAVE EVER BEEN CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH A SCHOOL SHOOTING. LET’S BRING IN OUR TREVOR AULT, WHO’S COVERING THE STORY FOR US AND OUR LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR CHANNA LLOYD.

SO, TREVOR, LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR IN TRIAL AND THE EVIDENCE THAT IS BEING USED AGAINST, THE PARENTS. >> YES. SO, KYRA, RIGHT NOW THEY’RE IN THE JURY SELECTION PHASE. THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED POTENTIAL JURORS IN THIS CASE. THEY’RE GOING TO NAIL IT DOWN TO 1712 ON THE MAIN JURY

AND THEN FIVE ALTERNATES. THAT PROCESS COULD TAKE SOME TIME, AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN THIS AREA WHERE THE SCHOOL SHOOTING HAPPENED. THE JUDGE HAS ALREADY SAID TODAY THEY’RE NOT TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT. THIS SHOOTING OCCURRED. THEY’RE TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE WHO CAN BE IMPARTIAL

NOW. THEY’RE ASKING THEM A LOT OF QUESTIONS IF THEY KNOW THE NAMES OF PEOPLE IN THE CASE ,IF THEY HAVE CERTAIN FEELINGS ABOUT GUNS OR POLICE TRYING TO NAIL IT DOWN TO 17. NOW, IN TERMS OF EVIDENCE, BOTH AGAINST JENNIFER CRUMBLY AND HER JAMES CRUMBLY, BECAUSE THEY’RE BOTH CHARGED, BUT THEY’RE BEING TRIED

SEPARATELY. THERE IS A LAUNDRY LIST OF MISTAKES AND RED FLAGS AND MISSED WARNING SIGNS. YOU MENTIONED THAT THE COUPLE BOUGHT THEIR SON THIS AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT. THEIR SON TESTIFIED THE GUN WAS KEPT UNLOCKED EVEN THOUGH HE WAS JUST 15. >> THEY WERE REQUIRED TO KEEP IT LOCKED.

THERE A NUMBER OF WARNING SIGNS ABOUT HIS MENTAL HEALTH. ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, HE WROTE IN HIS JOURNAL THAT HIS PARENTS HATED EACH OTHER, THAT THEY HAD NO MONEY, THEY WEREN’T DOING ANYTHING TO ADDRESS HIS MENTAL HEALTH, AND THAT WAS MAKING HIM WANT TO SHOOT UP A SCHOOL. >> THERE WERE TIMES WHERE

HE WAS CAUGHT AT SCHOOL LEADING UP TO THE SHOOTING, GOOGLING AMMUNITION DURING THE SCHOOL, THEN CONTACTED THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, THE SCHOOL. AND THEN THE MOTHER, JENNIFER CRUMBLY, TEXTED HER SON, ELWELL, I’M NOT MAD AT YOU. >> YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO GET CAUGHT.

>> YOU ALSO MENTIONED THE DAY OF THE SHOOTING. SO CRUMBLY, THE SHOOTER, HIS MENTAL HEALTH IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN DETERIORATING. HE WAS CAUGHT BY A TEACHER WITH SOME DRAWINGS AND A NOTEBOOK, HAD A GUN AND HAD A PERSON BEING SHOT. HE HAD WRITTEN THINGS LIKE THE THOUGHTS WON’T STOP, HELP ME.

THEY CALLED THE PARENTS INTO THE SCHOOL. THEY BOTH SHOWED UP AT THE SCHOOL, ASKED THEM, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR SON HOME? THE PARENTS SAID. AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT, A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, THIS OCCURRED. THEN, OF COURSE, AFTER THAT, AFTER THE PARENTS WERE ARRAIGNED, THIS UNPRECEDENTED.

DON’T FORGET, KYRA, THEY MISSED THEIR ARRAIGNMENT BECAUSE PROSECUTORS SAID THEY WENT ON THE RUN. THE PROSECUTOR SAID THAT THEY WITHDREW THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AN ATM. THEY WERE FOUND THE NEXT MORNING IN AN EMPTY WAREHOUSE. OF COURSE, THEIR ATTORNEYS SAY, LOOK, THEY OPENLY ADMIT THESE NOT GREAT PARENTS. IN FACT, THEY SAY THEY MADE

A LOT OF BAD PARENTAL, BUT IT’S NOT NECESSARILY AGAINST THE LAW TO BE A BAD PARENT. THEY SAY THEY DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS GOING TO SHOOT UP A SCHOOL AND THUS THEY ARE NOT GUILTY. >> INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. GOSH, THERE WERE JUST SO MANY WARNING SIGNS, SEANA. LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW THIS COULD

SET A PRECEDENT NOW FOR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS OF MASS SHOOTERS. >> ABSOLUTELY, KARA. WHAT WE SEE REALLY IS A TRIAL AS TO OR NOT. THEY HAD ENOUGH INFORMATION TO TAKE ACTION BEFORE THIS SHOOTING TOOK PLACE. THIS CAN SET A VERY BIG PRECEDENT BECAUSE WHAT IT’S TELLING PARENTS IS THAT YOU ARE

ACCOUNTABLE TO CERTAIN LEVEL FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S BEHAVIOR. WHAT ARE THEY DOING? YOU SEE CLEAR WARNING SIGNS. YOU HAVE TO RESPOND APPROPRIATELY. >> AND THAT’S WHAT THESE CHARGES ARE ESSENTIALLY TELLING PEOPLE GOING FORWARD AND NOT JUST WARNING SIGNS. THEY GAVE THEM ACCESS TO A GUN . IT’S JUST IT’S REALLY HARD

TO JUST, YOU KNOW, UNDER THEIR THINKING HERE. AND ETHAN’S LAWYERS HAVE NOW APPEALED HIS LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE SENTENCE. SHAUNA, WHAT DO YOU THINK THEIR IS HERE AND WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT IT’LL ACTUALLY HAPPEN ? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY GIVEN IN THAT STATE DUE TO HIS AGE.

>> SO THIS IS A QUESTION TO WHETHER OR NOT THE JUDGE REALLY ABUSED ITS DISCRETION, WHETHER HE SHOULD HAVE HAD OPTION FOR PAROLE. THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME LOOK AT THIS, BECAUSE WHENEVER WE TALK ABOUT JUVENILES WITHIN A SYSTEM THAT ARE GETTING ADULT . >> IT’S GOING TO BE SCRUTINIZED

VERY HEAVILY. TREVOR, KEEP US UPDATED ON COURT PLEAS IN CHINA. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE ANALYSIS. NOW TO A HEALTH ALERT. IT’S A STUDY, JAMA NEUROLOGY, THAT FINDS THAT RESEARCHERS MAY BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO A NEW BLOOD TEST THAT COULD ACTUALLY IDENTIFY THOSE WHO ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S.

OUR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT, DR. DARIEN SUTTON JOINS US NOW TO TALK ABOUT IT. >> SO TELL US ABOUT THE RESEARCH. IT’S INCREDIBLE RESEARCH. SO THIS STUDY HAS BEEN SHOWING THAT A BLOOD TEST CAN HELP WITH SCREENING FOR DISEASE THAT AFFECTS THE CURRENTLY 6 MILLION AMERICANS TODAY PROJECTED TO INCREASE TO MORE

THAN 13 MILLION IN THE YEAR 2015. SO TEST IS LOOKING FOR ABNORMAL PROTEINS. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE IS THAT THERE’S A BUILDUP OF PROTEIN WITHIN THE BRAIN AND THEN THAT CREATES THE SYMPTOMS. SO FAR, THE ACCURACY OF THIS TEST SEEMS TO BE COMPARABLE OF THE SCREENING TEST THAT DO

CURRENTLY IN THE HOSPITAL, AND THAT INCLUDES A VARIETY OF TESTS HERE. IT STARTS WITH NEURAL AND COGNITIVE TESTING. IT ADDS BRAIN IMAGING AS WELL AS SPINAL FLUID TESTING. SO THERE’S A POSSIBILITY THAT A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST CAN REPLACE ALL OF THIS. THAT’S INCREDIBLE. SO HOW SOON COULD IT BECOME?

YOU KNOW, THE COMPANY THAT HAS PRODUCED THIS TEST HAS STATED THAT IT COULD BE AVAILABLE AS EARLY AS NEXT MONTH. RIGHT NOW, IT’S AVAILABLE FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES, BUT IT MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE UTILIZED FOR PATIENTS IN FEBRUARY, WHICH BE INCREDIBLE. AS FOR THE COST OF IT, IT SEEMS

AS THOUGH THE AVERAGE COST RANGE FROM 200 TO $500. IT MIGHT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE, BUT STILL, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT’S STILL INCREDIBLY LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE TESTING THAT WE DO TODAY. WOW. ALL RIGHT. AND WHAT CAN WE DO IN THE MEANTIME JUST TO LOWER OUR RISK FOR ALZHEIMER’S?

I HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS OFTEN WITH PATIENTS AND OFTEN WITH MY FAMILY, REDUCING OUR RISK OF DEMENTIA. YOU KNOW, IT STARTS WITH JUST BASIC LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS THAT WE CAN ALL DO TODAY. FIRST AND FOREMOST, UNDERSTANDING HOW TO REDUCE VASCULAR RISK. THAT’S CONTROLLING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, YOUR CHOLESTEROL AND YOUR BLOOD SUGAR.

ALSO BEING PHYSICALLY ACTIVE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR OLDER ADULTS, SOCIALLY ACTIVE.

A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE AIRPORT SAYS THERE WERE NO TO THE RUNWAY OR INJURIES TO THE PASSENGERS. A HISTORIC STRIKE THAT STARTED

AND ENDED IN ONE DAY. THE CAL STATE REACHING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM JUST HOURS AFTER THEIR PICKETING BEGAN. THE LIBRARIANS, PROFESSORS AND OTHER EMPLOYEES HIT THE LINES AFTER MONTHS OF CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS CENTERING AROUND PAY INCREASES AND IMPROVED BENEFITS. THE EMPLOYEES UNION SAYS THAT THE DEAL INCLUDES A 5%

SALARY INCREASE WITH OTHER FUTURE RAISES AND INCREASE IN PARENTAL LEAVE BENEFITS. TRIBUTES ARE POURING IN FOR. DEXTER SCOTT KING, THE YOUNGEST SON OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR KING CENTER, SAY THAT DEXTER BATTLED PROSTATE CANCER AND PASSED AWAY AT HOME ON SUNDAY, HIS OLDER BROTHER SAID IN A STATEMENT.

THE SUDDEN SHOCK DEVASTATING. AND IT’S HARD TO HAVE THE RIGHT WORDS AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS. DR. SCOTT KING WAS 62. >> WELL, THE NOMINATIONS FOR THE 96TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS ARE OUT. HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST NIGHT IS SETTING UP TO BE A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN THE STORY, THE BIRTH

OF THE FIRST ATOMIC BOMB AND A TRUE CRIME. WESTERN DRAMA. OPPENHEIMER TOPPING THE LIST WITH 13 NOMINATIONS. KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, FOUR THINGS AND BARBIE ALSO RECEIVING MULTIPLE NOMINATIONS EACH. OUR WILL GANSS JOINS US WITH MORE. SCOOP. YOU’VE GOT THE SNUB, THE SURPRISE IS. >> BUT LET’S START WITH BEST PICTURE.

YEAH, WE’LL START WITH BEST PICTURE. OPPENHEIMER PULLING 13 NOMINATIONS, WHICH IS THE MOST OF ANY FILM THIS YEAR AND IT’S ALL THE MAJOR CATEGORIES. BEST DIRECTOR, BEST PICTURE BEST ACTOR, BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS. THIS ISN’T REALLY A SURPRISE. THIS WAS KIND OF THE FAVOR FAVORITE GOING IN. >> BUT THE OTHER HALF OF,

THE BARBENHEIMER PHENOMENON THAT WE COULDN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT LAST YEAR KIND OF COMING UP SHORT. AND WHAT I REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BARBIE IS THE LACK OF A BEST DIRECTOR NOMINATION FOR GRETA GERWIG HERE. >> I MEAN, WHEN WE LOOK BACK AT LAST YEAR, THIS WAS THE BILLION

DOLLAR BLOCK BUSTING BLOCK BUSTER OF THE BOX OFFICE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE GRETA GERWIG WAS WOMAN BEHIND THIS MOVIE THAT REALLY SHAPED CULTURE. LAST YEAR WE WERE WEARING HOT PINK. WE WERE GOING TO THE THEATER. SO FOR HER TO BE LEFT OUT OF THIS RACE, IT JUST SO

ON THE NOSE IN A MOVIE THAT’S ALL ABOUT FAVORING MEN. AND WHEN WOMEN ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND, IT JUST IT JUST, YOU KNOW, IT FEELS LIKE LIFE IMITATING ART, WHICH WAS ALREADY IMITATING LIFE TO BEGIN WITH. I DON’T KNOW. I JUST LOVE TO WRITE. IT’S NOT IT’S JUST NOT RIGHT, WILL.

THAT’S RIGHT. ALL RIGHT LET’S TALK ABOUT BEST ACTRESS AND BEST ACTOR WHO STOOD OUT TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS KELLY MURPHY FOR OPPENHEIMER AND FOR THE HOLDOVERS. OF COURSE, WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT PAUL GIAMATTI. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE BEST ACTOR WILL BE A RACE BETWEEN.

THOSE TWO STANDOUTS, BOTH EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCES AND, A REALLY HEART WRENCHING PERFORMANCE HERE FROM PAUL GIAMATTI AND THE HOLDOVERS AND THEN AS FAR AS BEST ACTRESS, LILY GLADSTONE IS NOMINATED FOR AN HOUR BEFORE ANYTHING THAT IS A A FAN FAVORITE. AND IT’S A HISTORIC NOMINATION FOR SURE. AND THEN NOMINATED AGAINST

HER FOR POOR THINGS IS EMMA STONE. AND SHE IS, YOU KNOW, HER PRESS TOUR AT THIS ENTIRE OSCAR SEASON HAS BEEN AMAZING. PEOPLE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF HER. SO SHE’S A FAN FAVORITE. WELL. SO, BOTTOM LINE, WHAT ARE YOU THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT? BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WATCH

ALL THIS STUFF SO CLOSELY. THIS IS THAT’S A QUESTION. SO ACTUALLY WHAT I’M MOST EXCITED ABOUT THIS YEAR IS THE BEST ORIGINAL NOMINATION. SO I KNOW I JUST TALKED A LOT ABOUT MEN BEING RECOGNIZED IN WAY TOO MANY WAYS THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO BEST DIRECTOR.

BUT RYAN GOSLING IS NOMINATED FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG FOR I’M JUST CANNED. SO IF THAT MEANS HE’S GOING TO UP THERE WITH ALL THE OTHER CANS FROM THE MOVIE, MAYBE THEY’LL WORK IN SOME BOY BAND SURPRISES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT COULD BE A VERY FUN OSCARS TO WATCH FOR MUSIC THIS YEAR.

I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING INTERESTING. WE’VE SEEN THE MOVIE “BARBIE.” IT WAS NOMINATED MULTIPLE TIMES. I THINK IT’S FASCINATE ING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE PLOT LINE, AND FROM “PSYCHOLOGY TODAY,” THEY WERE ABLE TO ANALYZE THAT PLOTLINE AND UNDERSTAND IT’S

REALLY ABOUT SELF-IDENTITY WHICH IS SO CLINICALLY, MEDICALLY, AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT, FINDING YOUR COMMUNITY AND I THOUGHT THERE WERE KEY CONCEPTS.

WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM? >> Eva: WE’VE HEARD FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF VOTERS, BUT HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, IT SEEMS THAT THE VOTERS ARE FOCUSED MUCH MORE ON THE CANDIDATES THAN THE ISSUES. THEY SORT OF FALL INTO THREE DIFFERENT CAMPS, EITHER THOSE WHO ARE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT

DONALD TRUMP, THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS THIRD GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO PRIOR VOTED FOR JOE BIDEN AND THEY DON’T WANT TO VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AGAIN BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, THIS PRIMARY ALLOWS FOR THOSE

INDEPENDENTS — THEY CALL THEM UNDEC UNDECLARED VOTERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIMARY. >> DeMarco: GOVERNOR DeSANTIS IS OUT OF THE RACE. HOW MIGHT HIS EXIT IMPACT THE PRIMARY? >> Eva: WELL, IT’S MADE IT A TWO-MAN RACE WHICH HAS CHANGED THE DYNAMIC WHICH IS WHY WE’RE

SEEING THIS CANDIDATE-FOCUSED CHOICE FOR THE VOTERS INSTEAD OF THE ISSUE-FOCUSED VOTE. HE WASN’T POLLING VERY WELL HERE, SO HE DIDN’T HAVE A HUGE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT HERE. THE SUPPORT HE LIKELY HAD, THOSE VOTERS IN POLLS THAT WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM PREVIOUSLY HAVE SAID THEIR SECOND CHOICE WAS

DONALD TRUMP. SO DONALD TRUMP MAY GET A SMALL BUMP FROM HIM DROPPING OUT HERE. >> Erielle: AND OF COURSE, THIS IS A TWO-PERSON RACE. POLLING SUGGESTING THAT DONALD TRUMP IS UP BY DOUBLE DIGITS THERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. HOW CONCERNED IS THE HALEY CAMP

THE REALITY IS THEY WANT A STRONG SECOND PLACE FINISH. THEY WANT TO HAVE SOME MOMENTUM COMING OUT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AS SHE HEADS INTO HER HOME STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE SHE KNOWS SHE HAS AN UPHILL CLIMB. >> DeMarco: SO HOW WELL DOES SHE

HAVE TO PERFORM TONIGHT TO STAY IN THE RACE? >> Eva: SO IT’S REALLY HARD TO PREDICT THAT. THE THING THAT WE’RE HEARING FROM PEOPLE NOW IS BECAUSE IT’S A TWO-MAN RACE, SHE COULD STAY IN THIS A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND BE THE ALTERNATE CANDIDATE TO

DONALD TRUMP, AND JUST SORT OF SEE IF MOMENTUM DOES START TO PICK UP. THERE’S OTHERS THAT HAVE PUT SOME PRESSURE ON HER TO HAVE THAT STRONG SHOWING HERE. KIND OF NO MATTER WHAT THE PUNDITS ARE SAYING, SHE WANTS TO DO HERE — SHE WANTS TO DO WELL

>> DeMarco: WELCOME BACK TO “GMA3.” THE 96th ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS NOMINATIONS ARE HERE. >> Erielle: AND WE’RE ALREADY HAVING FUN. JOINING US TO BREAK DOWN ALL OF THE SURPRISES AND SNUBS, THE PREDICTIONS FOR THIS YEAR’S CEREMONY IS ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR

MIKE MUSE AS WELL AS KELLY CARTER. >> DeMarco: TWO OF OUR FAVORITES. >> Erielle: THE KNOWLEDGE BASE ON THIS TOPIC. MICHAEL, WE’LL START WITH YOU. >> WE LOVE YOU GUYS. >> Erielle: WE LOVE YOU BACK. WE’LL START WITH BEST ACTRESS AND BEST ACTOR CATEGORIES.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF WHAT YOU SAW? >> WOW. I WAS REALLY EXCITED WHEN THIS CATEGORY GOT ANNOUNCED. I WAS ROOTING FOR BRADLEY COOPER. I’M SO HAPPY HE GOT IN IT. HE DID AN AMAZING TURN IN “MAESTRO,” AND COLMAN DOMINGO.

I HAD HIM ON MY LIST TO BE NOMINATED. HE WAS IN “RUSTIN.” HE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. >> Erielle: WE GOT TO TALK TO HIM TOO. >> AND PAUL GIAMATTI. SHE’ HE’S ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THIS ACADEMY’S GOT TO STOP PLAYING FOR MY HEART BECAUSE

THEY WAITED FOR THE LAST ONE TO ANNOUNCE JEFFREY WRIGHT. IF JEFFREY DOESN’T GET IN, THERE IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. JEFFREY GOT IN. I’M SO EXCITED FOR JEFFREY WRIGHT. >> Erielle: SO NOW THE ACADEMY’S RIGHT WITH MIKE MUSE. >> WE’RE GOOD. THERE’S NO ISSUES HERE, AND FOR

BEST FEMALE ACTOR, ANENETTE BENNING. BEFORE THE MORNING STARTED, I KNOW KELLY PROBABLY THOUGHT THE SAME THING. THE ACADEMY LOVES A PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AND WHAT ANNETTE DID, AND WE SAW LILY GLADSTONE, THE FIRST INDIGENOUS ACTRESS. THAT WAS HISTORIC. WE SAW — SORRY. TOO EXCITED HERE.

“ANATOMY OF A FALL.” AMAZING PERFORMANCE WITH THAT ONE. CARRIE MULLIGAN. I MEAN, COME ON. PITCH PERFECT, AND THEN THE INCREDIBLE EMMA STONE. >> DeMarco: SHE SHOWED UP. SHE WAS THE LAST NAME AND I WAS, LIKE, IT’S GOT TO BE EMMA, AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE MALE STONE.

>> I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE EMMA STONE OR LILY GLADSTONE. ONE PERFORMANCE WAS RESTRAINED BY LILY, AND THE OTHER WAS PHYSICAL BY EMMA. I’M CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT DOES THE ACADEMY DO? >> DeMarco: WHAT ABOUT BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS AND ACTOR? >> FOR ACTRESS, JDA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH.

WHAT I LOVED ABOUT HER PERFORMANCE IN “THE HOLDOVERS” IS SHE STAYS WITH YOU, AND A LOT OF TIMES IN A FILM LIKE THIS, THAT CHARACTER CAN GET LOST OR FORGOTTEN ABOUT, BUT SHE HUNG IN THERE WITH PAUL GIAMATTI, AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS AND IS

INCREDIBLE AND I LOVE SEEING HER GETTING NOMINATED THIS ENTIRE SEASON. ALSO GREAT DANIELLE BROOKS IN “THE COLOR PURPLE.” THIS WAS SO EXCELLENT AND SUCH A GREAT MOMENT FOR HER. >> DeMarco: KNOCKED IT OUT. >> IT’S TOUGH TO BRING MISS ST SOFIA, AND BRING SOMETHING

PRESSURE, BUT I THOUGHT SHE DID. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT EMILY BLUNT IN “OPPEMHEIMER.” YOU WERE, LIKE, THE LONG, SUFFERING WIFE. SHE PLAYED THAT PART. SHE WAS SO INCREDIBLE, AND ALSO IMPORTANTLY AMERICA FERRERA. WHILE I DIDN’T PART “BARBIE” AS ONE OF MY TOP FILMS THIS YEAR, I

THINK IT’S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME ESPECIALLY THESE LAST FEW YEARS TALKING ABOUT PROGRESSION AND DIVERSITY, AND THE CATEGORY AND THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN MISSED IS LATINX, SO IT’S SO NICE TO BE REPRESENTING AND BEING NOMINATED FOR THIS AWARD.

I LOVE THAT. ALSO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A FILMS, “AMERICAN DEPICTION” WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS, AND STERILE K. BROWN. BUT ROBERT DE NIRO, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE HIM. HE WAS GREAT IN “KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON,” AND BUT TO ME,

IT’S REALLY ROBERT DOWNEY JR.’S YEAR IN “OPPEMHEIMER.” I DIDN’T REALIZE IT WAS ROBERT DOWNY JR. UNTIL THE SECOND OR THIRD SCENE. HE WAS NOT TONY STARK. >> DeMarco: THE BEST PICTURE? YOUR PREDICTIONS? >> “OPPEMHEIMER” IS IN THE LEAD, BUT I THINK “AMERICAN FICTION”

CAN SNEAK IN, OR “THE HOLDOVERS REQUESTS. “AMERICAN FICTION” IS MY MOVIE. >> “OPPEMHEIMER’S” GOING WIN, BUT I WOULD LOVE IF “AMERICAN FICTION” COULD WIN. >> DeMarco: SHE SA SASA SAID, “OPPEMHEIMER’S” GOING TO WIN. >> Erielle: THANK YOU BOTH FOR JOINING US TODAY.

DON’T FORGET TO TUNE INTO THE ACADEMY AWE WARDS. THEY AIR RIGHT HERE ON ABC ON MARCH 10th. >>> >> DeMarco: STILL TO COME, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WORKING WITH THE LEGEND, MARTIN SCORSESE. >> Erielle: NOW LILY GLADSTONE HAS AN OSCAR NOMINATION TO SHOW

FOR IT. SHE TELLS US WHAT SHE’S BEEN THINKING SINCE SHE HEARD THIS NEWS. STAY WITH US. WOW. >> WHAT DO YOU SAY I PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS “START HERE”. TO BE IN THE MIDDLE AND A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES.

YOU WERE TO THOSE PEOPLE, WHO MANY SAY HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED. THIS IS AIG DEAL FOR THAT COMMUNITY. >> OH, ABSOLUTELY, AND I MEAN, IT’S OVERDUE, AND IT’S NOT THE FIRST, YOU KNOW? THIS IS — I REMEMBER HOW I FELT WHEN KEISHA CASTLEHUGHES WAS

NOMINATED AND SEEING THAT FILM AND SEEING A YOUNG WOMAN LEAD THAT KIND OF IMMENSE WORK AND, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF GROUNDBREAKING SHIFT IN THE WORLD, AND, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME. SO I’M JUST — I’M EXCITED

FOR — I’M EXCITED FOR ALL OF THE OTHER LITTLE MES WHO FEEL — WHO FEEL SEEN AND FEEL REPRESENTED AND I’M PROCESSING. I’M DIGESTING, BUT I’M JUST — I’M SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL. >> Erielle: I READ THAT YOU WERE VOTED MOST LIKELY TO WIN AN

OSCAR IN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS. DID YOU FEEL LIKE THIS WAS YOUR DESTINY? >> YOU KNOW, MY DAD SURE DID. I WAS ALWAYS KIND OF, LIKE, OKAY, DAD. OKAY. I GET IT. IT’S A SWEET PLATITUDE, BUT I GUESS HE’S A LITTLE BIT — HE’S A LITTLE SUPERNATURAL AND

PROPHETIC ABOUT OTHER THINGS, SO I JUST HOPE HE FEELS VERY VALIDATED TODAY. >> Erielle: I’M SURE YOU FEEL VALIDATED TOO. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ALL THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO NOW FINALLY SEE THEMSELVES IN THESE IMPORTANT ROLES? >> YOU’RE IMPORTANT, CLEARLY. YOU’RE VALUABLE.

WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS . HELLO, I’M KAYNA WHITWORTH HERE IN LOS ANGELES. AND WE WANT TO TAKE YOU NOW TO MANASSAS VIRGINIA, WHERE YOU SEE PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE TEAMING UP TO CAMPAIGN FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN VIRGINIA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. IN THEIR FIRST JOINT APPEARANCE

OF THE 2024 CAMPAIGN, THE DUO ARE PLANNING TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR PLAN TO MAKE ABORTION ACCESS THE MAIN MESSAGE AHEAD OF THEIR LIKELY REMATCH WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. >> LISTEN. I THANK YOU, KAMALA, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN PROTECTING REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM AND FOR SO MUCH MORE THAT YOU DO.

AND THANK YOU, JILL AND DOUG, FOR SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON SO MANY ISSUES. WOMEN’S RIGHTS, NOT JUST THIS ONE. AND AMANDA, THANKS. INTRODUCTION. YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH COURAGE IT TAKES TO DO WHAT YOU DID WITH SO MANY YOUNG WOMEN. HOPE YOU I HAD A CHANCE TO SIT DOWN . THANK YOU.

WELL, I LOOK, JILL AND I HAD A CHANCE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH AMANDA AND HER HUSBAND, JOSH. I TOLD YOU HOW PROUD WE WERE. YOUR COURAGE MAN IS STANDING UP AND SPEAKING OUT ON SUCH A PERSONAL ISSUE THAT HELPED SO MANY WOMEN AND I SAY YOU’RE LOOKING LIVE AT THE

FIRST CAMPAIGN EVENT FOR THE BIDEN-HARRIS 2024 CAMPAIGN. IT’S IN MANASSAS VIRGINIA. AND THEIR PLAN IS TO HIGHLIGHT ACCESS TO ABORTION. AND THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME, THOUGH, THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN’S SPEECH HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED. WE HEARD FROM SEVERAL SPEAKERS PRIOR TO HIM REACHING THE PODIUM, INCLUDING VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS. NO ONE INTERRUPTED.

HE TOOK THE PODIUM. THAT WAS THE SECOND INTERRUPTION. AND YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE BEHIND HIM CHANTING FOUR MORE YEARS, TRYING TO DROWN OUT. >> IT APPEARS THEY HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL. SO GO BACK AND LISTEN. IF YOU ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU HERE TODAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

DEFENDING FREEDOM IN AMERICA, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DOING. >> YES. YES. YESTERDAY, YESTERDAY, THE 51ST ANNIVERSARY OF ROE V WADE, WHICH RECOGNIZED THE WOMAN’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO CHOOSE, HER RIGHT TO MAKE DEEPLY PERSONAL. >> WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THIS THING GO ON FOR WHILE WE GOT

A COUPLE MORE OF THESE HERE, FOLKS. I BELIEVE ROE V. WADE GOT IT RIGHT. SO THE MAJORITY AMERICANS AND THEY STILL DO. WE ALL KNOW WHAT, A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, NO SUPREME COURT MADE AN EXTREME DECISION OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE WITH. THEIR WAS THEIR JOBS DECISION 34 OH.

>> SO YOU JUST SAW NOW A THIRD PERSON THAT HAD TO BE ESCORTED OUT OF THIS AUDITORIUM THERE IN MANASSAS, VIRGINIA. THIS HAS BEEN A BIT OF A ROCKY START HERE. TWO PRESIDENTS, BIDEN’S FIRST SPEECH OF HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PRESIDENCY AGAIN IN 2024. >> AND SO IT SEEMS, AGAIN,

HE MAY HAVE IT UNDER. BUT AGAIN, THREE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE SEEN HAVE BEEN ESCORTED OUT OF THIS ROOM. SO LET’S GO AHEAD AND TRY AND LISTEN. >> AND AGAIN, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TODAY IN AMERICA. ONE, OUR VERY TURNED AWAY FROM OUR EMERGENCY ROOMS, FORCED TO TRAVEL HUNDREDS OF MILES

TO GET BASIC HEALTH CARE, FORCED TO GO TO COURT, TO PLEAD TO HELP TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THE ABILITY TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE. THE COURT IS ASTOUNDING AS A DIRECT AFFRONT TO A WOMAN’S DIGNITY TO BE TOLD BY EXTREME POLITICIANS AND JUDGES TO WAIT TO GET SICKER AND SICKER BEFORE

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, EVEN TO THE POINT WHERE, AS YOU HEARD YOUR LIFE HAD BEEN DETERMINED TO BE IN DANGER, OR THE IDEA THAT A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE TO CARRY A FETUS AFTER SHE HAD BEEN FOR THE VICTIM OF . IT’S OUTRAGEOUS. IT’S OUTRAGEOUS FOR THE IDEA IDEA A WOMAN RECEIVES COMPETENT

MEDICAL ADVICE THAT THE FETUS SHE’S CARRYING WON’T LIVE AND WILL IMPACT ON HER ABILITY TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE. AND SHE STILL CAN’T GET MEDICAL CARE, I THINK IS UNCONSCIONABLE . DID ANYONE SAY KNOW ANYONE, THINK THIS WHERE AMERICA IS GOING IN 20 24? I COULD GO ON.

LOOK, LET THERE BE NO MISTAKE. THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING AWAY THIS FREEDOM IN AMERICA IS DONALD TRUMP. LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS. TRUMP SAYS HE’S PROUD THAT HE OVERTURN ROE V. WADE. HE SAID, AND I QUOTE, THERE HAS TO BE PUNISHMENT FOR, THE ONE THAT EXERCISING

THE REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM. >> HE DESCRIBES IT DOWN DECISION AS A MIRACLE. >> BUT FOR AMERICAN, IT’S A NIGHTMARE. SO LET’S BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR WHAT TRUMP IS BRAGGING ABOUT. THE REASON THERE ARE 21 STATES WHERE ABORTION BANS ARE IN EFFECT MAY WITH NO EXCEPTION FOR OR ANY OTHER OR

IS DONALD TRUMP THE REASON WHY WE’RE BEING FORCED TO TRAVEL OF STATE? THIS IS GOING TO GO ON FOR A WHILE. THEY GOT THIS PLAN. THE REASON WOMEN ARE BEING FORCED TRAVEL ACROSS STATE LINES FOR HEALTH CARE IS DONALD TRUMP, THE REASON THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ARE TRYING TO GET THEM

THEY ARE THREATENED WITH PROSECUTION IS BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP. AND THE REASON FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS WERE STRIPPED IS DONALD TRUMP. AND BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP, DOCTORS ARE FLEEING THEIR HOME STATE, SETTING UP PRACTICES IN OTHER STATES BECAUSE THEY’RE AFRAID THEY’LL BE PUT IN PRISON IF THEY EXERCISE THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES IN STATES LIKE TEXAS, DOCTORS

CAN GET A LIFE SENTENCE FOR PROVIDING THE CARE THEY WERE TRYING TO PROVIDE. IT’S OUTRAGEOUS. AND FRANKLY, DONALD TRUMP AND MY REPUBLICAN INCLUDING THE WOMAN HOLLERING AND FRANKLY ,DONALD TRUMP OF MY RECOVERY AND THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE ARE BENT ON GOING EVEN FURTHER TODAY. MAGGIE, REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN

GROWS THREE ADDITIONAL NATIONAL BANS TO CRIMINALIZE HEALTH CARE IN EVERY STATE. LET TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE. FIRST IS A ZERO WEEK BAN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. THE SECOND ONE INTRODUCED IS A SECOND IS A SIX WEEK BAN WITH A PENALTY FOR VIOLATING IT IN JAIL.

AND THE THIRD IS A 15 WEEK BAN AND THE PENALTY IS A FIVE YEAR JAIL SENTENCE. YOU KNOW, CONGRESS NOW, IN THE PAST YEAR TRUMP HIMSELF ENDORSED A FEDERAL BAN PROMISING TO LEAD THE CHARGE, GOD LOVING. AND THAT MEANS EVEN IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE EXTREMIST,

REPUBLICANS ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT. YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE YOUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY IS STILL AT RISK. BUT AS LONG AS I HAVE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY, NO THIS IF CONGRESS HAVE TO PASS A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN, I VETO IT. MAGGIE, REPUBLICANS, MAGGIE,

REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO LIMIT ALL WOMEN IN AMERICA FROM GETTING A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE MEDICATION. >> YEAH, I AGREE. PROBABLY YOU’RE TRYING TO LIMIT ALL WOMEN IN AMERICA GETTING THE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE MEDICATION APPROVED BY THE FDA . FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW, THEY’RE TRYING TO BLOCK GETTING

THIS MEDICATION EVEN IN STATES WHERE WOMEN’S HEALTH CHOICES ARE STILL PROTECTED. IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE, YOU CANNOT GET CARE THAT YOU NEED AND YOU MAKE A PLAN TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER STATE TO GET THE CARE YOU NEED. MAGGIE, REPUBLICANS TRYING TO STOP YOU AS WELL AND GET

THIS IN THE STATE, ALABAMA. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS THREATENING TO PROSECUTE FAMILY WHO HAVE THEIR LOVED ONES TRAVEL TO ANOTHER STATE TO GET CARE THEY NEED. >> THAT CAN’T BE AMERICA THAT BE AMERICAN 2024. IT CAN’T BE. SO LET’S BE CLEAR THAT THE DECISION ALSO PUTS THE RISK

TO BROADER RIGHT TO PRIVACY FOR EVERYONE. >> THAT’S BECAUSE THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO PRIVACY, WHICH ROE V. WADE RECOGNIZED, HAS SERVED AS THE BASIS FOR SO MANY OTHER RIGHTS THAT ARE PART OF THE FABRIC OF THIS COUNTRY, THE RIGHT TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR YOUR HEALTH, THE RIGHT TO USE

BIRTH CONTROL, THE RIGHT TO MARRY SOMEONE WHO YOU LOVE. JUSTICE THOMAS WROTE AS MUCH IN HIS IN HIS CONCURRING OPINION IN DOCS THAT TO FUTURE CASES THE COURT, HE SAID, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AND RECONSIDER ALL SUBSTANTIVE DUE PROCESS PRECEDENT FROM GRISWALD ON. THAT’S WHAT HE SAID. LOOK, PLEASE DON’T JUMP FOR

THE EXTREME LAWS PASSED GOD THAT HAVE NO PLACE IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. BUT WHAT DOES HAVE A PLACE IS YOUR VOICE. THE JOBS DECISION? PRACTICALLY DARE WOMEN OF AMERICA TO BE HEARD AND WRITING. >> THEY SAID WOMEN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRAW POLITICAL POWER. >> NO KIDDING.

I SAID AT THE TIME, I DON’T. THIS COURT AND THE REPUBLICANS HAVE ANY CLUE ABOUT THE POWER OF WOMEN IN AMERICA TO INCLUDE WHAT WE’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT SINCE SINCE THE JOB DECISION OR IN THIS COUNTRY, OHIO, THE KANSAS, MISSOURI, KENTUCKY AND RIGHT HERE IN VIRGINIA, AMERICANS HAVE SHOWED UP WOMEN

AND MEN OF ALL RACES, ALL BACKGROUNDS VOTING TO PROTECT THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE. THERE’S ONE OTHER PERSON WHO DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT THE POWER OF WOMEN IN AMERICA. DONALD TRUMP. BUT LOOK, WHEN I SAID IS THERE’S ONE OTHER PERSON WHO DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT THE POWER OF WOMEN

IN AMERICA IS TRUMP. WELL, I PROMISE YOU, A 2024, HE’S GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE POWER OF YOUR. OH, HE’S RIGHT. WE NEED THE PROTECTION OF ROE V WADE IN EVERY STATE. AND WE CAN DO IT. YOU CAN DO IT TOGETHER. WE CAN DO IT.

IT’S WITHIN YOUR POWER TO. DO IT. SO LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR. TODAY’S IS JUST A DAY TO REMEMBER THE ANNIVERSARY OF ROE V WADE. TODAY, A DAY TO CALL ACTION WITH YOUR VOICE, WITH YOUR POWER, YOUR VOTE. WE CAN RESTORE THE PROTECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER

50 YEARS UNDER ROE V. WADE. WE CAN. WE CAN CAN ONCE AGAIN MAKE IT THE LAW OF THE LAND IN AMERICA. >> WE’RE GOING TO DO THAT? ARE YOU READY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN ? TO DO THAT, WE NEED A NEW CONGRESS, RIGHT. TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

GIVE ME A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. GIVE ME A BIGGER, BIGGER DEMOCRATIC SENATE AND WE WILL PASS A NEW LAW RESTORING THE PROTECTIONS EVERYWHERE. AND I WILL SIGN IT IMMEDIATELY . ALL RIGHT. >> YOU ARE LISTENING TO PRESIDENT BIDEN HERE IN WHAT HAS BEEN A BIT A BUMPY START.

IN HIS FIRST JOINT APPEARANCE OF, THE 2024 CAMPAIGN, HE’S THERE IN MANASSAS, VIRGINIA. HE SPOKE JUST AFTER VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS. AND AGAIN THIS IS HOW THEY ARE KICKING OFF THEIR CAMPAIGN. AND THEY ARE DOING IT WITH A CALL TO ACTION. THEY’RE SAYING YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE THAT IF CONGRESS

PASSES A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN, THAT HE WOULD IT. HE SAYS HE WANTS TO RESTORE THE PROTECTIONS FROM ROE VERSUS WADE. AND THIS IS HOW THEY ARE STARTING THE CAMPAIGN. IT WAS A BIT BUMPY, AS I MENTIONED, BECAUSE HE WAS INTERRUPTED MOST OF BOTH TIMES BY PROTESTERS BEFORE HE REALLY

EVEN THE CHANCE TO SPEAK. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD TO BE ESCORTED FROM THE ROOM. AND SO THEN HE EVENTUALLY GOT IT UNDER CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO START TALKING. HE MENTIONS TRUMP ALMOST AWAY AND MAGA GOT REPUBLICANS AS WELL AND. HE IS SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO AMERICAN WOMEN WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR ACCESS TO

ABORTION. AND SO I WANT TO BRING IN OUR ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG ,WHO IS THERE WITH THE PRESIDENT IN MANASSAS. SELINA SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. I KNOW IT’S LOUD NOW WHERE YOU’RE AT. I KNOW THAT THE SPEECH

IS ONGOING, BUT FIRST OF ALL, I WAS YOU COULD SHARE WITH US YOUR PERSPECTIVE FROM INSIDE THE ROOM. IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE TO GET THIS GOING AS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD TO BE ESCORTED OUT. THERE IS ANOTHER PROTESTER BEING ESCORTED NOW RIGHT NOW RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AS WE

ARE SPEAKING, AS YOU SAID HERE, A VERY BUMPY SCAR AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. PROTESTERS HAVE INTERRUPTED PRESIDENT’S SPEECH OVER HIS HANDLING OF THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. THOSE PRESS PROTESTS STILL ONGOING HERE. AND IT REALLY UNDERSCORES HOW THAT ISSUE HAS DIVIDED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. BUT LOOK, THIS SPEECH, IT IS STILL ONGOING.

THE PRESIDENT IS FIRED UP. HE IS ANGRY. AND CHINA. WHAT REALLY STICKS OUT TO ME IS JUST HOW THE PRESIDENT IS DIRECTLY CALLING OUT TRUMP, SAYING TRUMP IS THE ONE WHO IS TAKING AWAY WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, WOMEN’S FREEDOMS. HE’S TALKING ABOUT EMOTIONAL TESTIMONIES OF WOMEN IN STATES

WITH ABORTION BANS WHO HAVE HAD LIFE THREATENING PREGNANCY COMPLICATIONS. BUT TURNED AWAY FROM MEDICAL CARE. HE LAYS ALL OF THIS BLAME AT THE FEET OF DONALD TRUMP. NOW, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN BELIEVES THAT ABORTION IS GOING TO BE WHAT UNITES DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS AND INDEPENDENTS. THEY SEE THIS AS AN ISSUE

THAT IS UNITED PEOPLE, RED AND BLUE STATES OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHERE THEY HAVE VOTED TO ENSHRINE ABORTION RIGHTS SO SIGNIFICANT THAT THEY ARE CHOOSING TO KEEP IN ON THIS FOR THE VERY FIRST BIDEN-HARRIS JOINT REELECTION RALLY. RIGHT. CHOOSING THAT STATE CERTAINLY ON PURPOSE. AND AUTHORITY THERE.

AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT THIS SPEECH IS WRAPPING. YOU SEE THAT HE IS NOW FLANKED THERE ON STAGE AND HE HAS A LOT OF SUPPORTERS THERE BEHIND HIM. AND ONE THING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME AS, WELL, SELINA, AS THESE PROTESTERS KEPT STANDING UP AND THE PRESIDENT SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT,

THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE. THEY HAVE A PLAN. BUT IT APPEARED TO ME THAT HIS CAMPAIGN HAD A PLAN AS WELL. THERE WERE PEOPLE THE ROOM THAT STARTED CHANTING FOUR MORE YEARS RIGHT AWAY WHEN. SOME OF THOSE PROTESTERS STOOD UP AND ONE OF THE PROTESTERS SAYING, YOU KNOW, HOW KIDS

WILL YOU KILL? HOLDING SIGNS THAT SAID STOP. CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN IS GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS HOW VOTERS FEEL ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST. ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S REALLY DIVIDED, MORE PROGRESSIVE PART OF THE PARTY, ESPECIALLY YOUNG VOTERS.

AND THIS THE FIRST TIME I’VE BEEN AT A BIDEN EVENT WHERE WE’VE SEEN PROTESTS INTERRUPTED. THERE’S AND THEN YOU HEAR THE CROWD CHANT FOR MORE YEARS. IN FACT, OUTSIDE OF THIS VENUE, THERE IS ALSO A GROUP OF A SMALL GROUP OF PROTESTERS THAT ARE CHANTING OUTSIDE. SO THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS

PERMEATING ALL OF THE BIDEN. AND LOOK, I’VE BEEN SPEAKING TO VOTERS HERE AND I’VE SPOKEN TO SOME YOUNG VOTERS. THEY HAVE SOME CRITICISMS OF THE PRESIDENT, INCLUDING HIS HANDLING OF THE WAR. BUT THEY SAY, LOOK, DESPITE THAT, WE ARE GOING TO BACK WHOEVER THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IS.

WE’RE GOING TO BACK PRESIDENT BIDEN, BECAUSE THEIR KEY PRIORITY IS THE DEFEAT OF DONALD TRUMP. AND THE REPUBLICANS REPEAT THE SAME DIVIDE IT DOWN THESE PARTY LINES IN A HEAVY WAY. >> THAT IS CERTAINLY WE’RE SEEING ACROSS THIS COUNTRY. SELINA WANG THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I KNOW YOU’RE AN EXTREMELY LOUD ROOM AND WE SO APPRECIATE YOU BREAKING THAT DOWN FOR US. >> THANK YOU. SELINA. OKAY. WE’RE SHIFTING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE NOW, WHERE THE SECOND PRIMARY CONTEST OF THE GOP RACE IS UNDERWAY HERE. VOTERS, THE GRANITE STATE ARE HELPING TO DECIDE WHETHER DONALD TRUMP OR NIKKI HALEY

SHOULD LEAD THE PARTY AND TAKE ON THE PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER. NOW, HALEY SCORING AN EARLY SYMBOLIC WIN OVERNIGHT SWEEPING TRUMP SIX TO ZERO IN THE TRADITIONAL MIDNIGHT VOTING IN THE TINY NEW HAMPSHIRE TOWN OF DIXVILLE NOTCH. THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR APPEARED PRETTY OPTIMISTIC TODAY. SPEAKING TO OUR RACHEL SCOTT

AT A POLLING LOCATION IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> TAKE A LISTEN. GOVERNOR, HOW ARE YOU FEELING HEADING INTO THIS FINAL DAY? DO YOU FEEL CONFIDENT WE CAN CLOSE THIS DOWN? WE’RE EXCITED. I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT ELECTION DAY. IT’S ALL ABOUT, DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM AND PEOPLE GOING

AND SHOWING THE POWER, THEIR VOICE. TODAY’S A GREAT DAY TO SHOW POWER. >> THEIR HORNS ARE SO. HALEY HAS VOWED TO STAY IN THE RACE NO MATTER THE OUTCOME TONIGHT. AS FOR TRUMP HE SAYS, THAT DOESN’T BOTHER HIM ONE BIT. LET’S LISTEN TO AN EXCHANGE BETWEEN AND ALSO RACHEL SCOTT.

EARLIER, THIS WAS AT A HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN IN SOMETHING IN, YOU KNOW, A THREAT TO YOU KNOW, YOU AND I DON’T CARE IF SHE STAYS THERE, LET HER DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS. IT DOESN’T MATTER. I CAN JUST SAY THAT THERE’S NEVER BEEN A MOVEMENT LIKE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IN THE

HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. >> ALL RIGHT. RECENT POLLS ARE HELPING TO FUEL TRUMP’S CONFIDENCE. THE LATEST NATIONAL AVERAGE FROM OUR PARTNERS THERE, FIVETHIRTYEIGHT, SHOWS HIM LEADING HALEY BY MORE THAN 50 POINTS. SO OUR ABC NEWS DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER LIVE FOR US IN MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE, ALONG WITH ABC

NEWS ZOHREEN SHAH ABOUT MINUTES AWAY THERE IN BEDFORD. SO THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. AND AVERY, JUMP INTO IT, HALEY. YOU KNOW, SHE WON THE SUPPORT OF ALL FOUR OF THESE REGISTERED REPUBLICANS AND THEN THE TWO INDEPENDENTS WHO VOTED IN DIXVILLE NOTCH. IS THERE ANY INDICATION

ABOUT HOW MUCH, YOU KNOW, SUPPORT THAT ACTUALLY GARNERS HERE STATEWIDE, OR IS THAT SYMBOLIC? WELL, LISTEN, THIS IS A SMALL PRECINCT. THIS IS A TRADITION IN THE STATE OF MIDNIGHT VOTING. AND SO I DON’T THINK THAT THE RESULTS THERE ARE NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF WHAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE.

WE’RE GOING HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. WHAT HAPPENS IS LOTS OF FOLKS WHO ARE STILL VOTING IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. BUT I DO THINK THAT IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT TURNS OUT, ESPECIALLY AS WE KNOW, NIKKI HALEY IS COUNTING ON THE SUPPORT OF INDEPENDENT OR UNDECLARED

VOTERS WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE’S OPEN PRIMARY. THESE INDEPENDENT UNDECLARED VOTERS ARE SO IMPORTANT, AND WE KNOW THAT THESE VOTERS TEND TO LOOK AT THEIR CANDIDATE SOMETIMES AS OPPOSED TO THEIR POLICIES, THE ISSUES. BUT SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS RAISE ARE THINGS IMMIGRATION AND THE ECONOMY.

BUT WE JUST HEARD FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS AS THEY KICKED OFF THEIR CAMPAIGN AND THEY ARE HANGING IT ALL ON PRESERVING ABORTION RIGHTS. RIGHT. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY BELIEVE IS GOING TO BE A GALVANIZING FACTOR FOR THEIR BASE. AND SO I THINK ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE

OF THINGS, ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THINGS, THERE IS ALSO CONCERN ABOUT ISSUES LIKE THE ECONOMY, ISSUES LIKE IMMIGRATION. BUT ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, THEY ARE COUNTING ON JUST LIKE THEY WERE MIDTERMS FOR ABORTION TO BE WHAT DRIVES FOLKS ABOUT. AND WE KNOW THAT THAT CERTAINLY WENT THE DEMOCRATS WAY THERE

IN THOSE MIDTERMS. AVERY, THANK YOU. AND TO YOU, YOU’RE ALSO AT A POLLING LOCATION THERE IN BEDFORD. SO HOW ARE VOTERS THERE RESPONDING TO JUST THESE TWO CANDIDATES? WHAT ARE YOU HEARING? YEAH, I’LL GET TO THAT IN JUST A SECOND. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THE SIGN RIGHT BEHIND ME.

IT SAYS RETURN TO UNDECLARED. A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THIS ONE WAS A VERY LONG LINE EARLIER TODAY. THEY CAME IN UNDECLARED. SO THAT MEANS THEY CAN VOTE IN ONE OF TWO BALLOTS. THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT OR THE DEMOCRATIC BALLOT. OKAY. SO WE’VE BEEN COVERING THIS FOR

A WHILE, WHICH DO YOU THINK MOST PEOPLE PICKED? YOU WOULD THINK THE REPUBLICAN BALLOT RIGHT NOW, IT’S A VERY COMPETITIVE RACE. IT’S THE RACE WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY SAID DEMOCRATIC BALLOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE I SPOKE TO, THEY SAID THEY WROTE IN JOE BIDEN’S NAME.

ANOTHER PERSON SAID THAT HE VOTED FOR DEAN PHILLIPS. YOU CAN SEE THIS BUILDING AREA BEHIND ME. AND THAT IS REALLY, REALLY INTERESTING, DANA, BECAUSE YOU THINK A LOT OF THESE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, THEY DO YOU THINK THEY THINK LIKE POLITICAL STRATEGISTS, RIGHT. THEY’RE GOING TO VOTE IN A COMPETITIVE RACE.

NIKKI HALEY MEAN THESE INDEPENDENT VOTERS MAKE UP 40% OF STATE. IT CERTAINLY APPEARS THAT SOME OF THEM AT LEAST ARE TREATING THIS LIKE A GENERAL ELECTION. I MEAN, YOU SAW JOE BIDEN’S RALLY JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO. THEY ALREADY FEEL SOME OF THEM LIKE THEY ARE IN THE NOVEMBER,

LIKE THEY HAVE TO PICK BETWEEN A BIDEN OR A TRUMP OR ANTI-TRUMP CANDIDATE. WE’VE SPOKEN TO A LOT OF OTHER VOTERS AS WELL. TAKE A LISTEN. >> NIKKI HALEY DIDN’T COME TO THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE AND RIGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO VOTE FOR HER, BUT THEN HER NOT COMING.

MAYBE NOT ON A VOTE FOR HER ANYMORE. AND I WAS GOING TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP EITHER, BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED A LITTLE BIT OF CHANGE. IT WAS HEARTWRENCHING FOR ME WHEN I WHEN I REALLY I SAY AS A YOU KNOW, AS A CANDIDATE WHO REALLY LIKES NIKKI HALEY,

I THINK SHE’S A GREAT YOU KNOW, SHE’S VERY STRUCTURED, I THINK BECAUSE SHE’S AN ACCOUNTANT SO SHE’S USED TO HAVING EVERYTHING IN A LITTLE COLUMN AND IT JUST HURT IT JUST HURT ME. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW EVERY LITTLE THING CAN IMPACT THESE VOTERS. NIKKI HALEY NOT SHOWING UP

TO OUR ABC DEBATE IMPACTED THOSE TWO VOTERS IMMENSELY. TINA, ALL ZOHREEN SHAH AND AVERI HARPER. OUR THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU. AND COMING UP NEXT HERE, THE U.S. STAGES SOME RETALIATORY AIRSTRIKES IN IRAQ AGAINST IRAN BACKED MILITANTS AFTER BALLISTIC MISSILES WERE FIRED AT A U.S. AIRBASE OVER THE WEEKEND.

BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ATTACK AGAINST, AL-ASSAD AIR BASE OVER THE WEEKEND, AS WELL AS MULTIPLE OTHERS. NOW, TOTALING MORE THAN 150, BOTH IRAQ AND SYRIA, THE UNITED STATES CENTCOM CENTRAL COMMAND TELLS US THAT THE THREE FACILITIES HAVE STORAGE UNITS, WAS A COMMAND HEADQUARTERS AND WAS A TRAINING AREA FOR

THE MISSILES, ROCKETS AND DRONES THAT ARE BEING USED IN THESE ATTACKS AGAINST U.S. FORCES IN IRAQ AND SYRIA. THE UNITED STATES, THAT THEY HOPE THAT THIS WILL STOP THESE ATTACKS FROM THESE MILITIAS WHICH ARE BACKED BY IRAN AND ARE USING IRANIAN MADE WEAPONS.

ABC NEWS AMERICA’S ONE NEWS SOURCE POLLS CLOSING JUST A SHORT TIME NOW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AS NIKKI HALEY AND DONALD TRUMP GO HEAD TO HEAD IN THE RACE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION ON KAYNA WHITWORTH IN LOS ANGELES. AND THAT’S TODAY’S BIG STORY. TRUMP RALLYING SUPPORTERS LOOKING TO SECURE HIS SECOND

STRAIGHT VICTORY AFTER HIS LANDSLIDE WIN IN IOWA. HALEY ALSO WAGING A LAST MINUTE PUSH IN THE GRANITE STATE. I’LL SPEAK WITH ABC NEWS CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL ABOUT TONIGHT’S HIGH STAKES CONTEST AND THE POTENTIAL PATHS FORWARD FOR BOTH CANDIDATES. ALSO IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE

PRESIDENT HARRIS GEARING UP FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION. OUR PANEL WEIGHS IN. THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET PUTTING A FOCUS ON ABORTION RIGHTS. WE BEGIN, OF COURSE, WITH OUR BIG STORY HERE, THIS LAST STRETCH OF VOTING UNDERWAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AS NIKKI PUSHES TO UPSET DONALD TRUMP IN THE SECOND CONTEST OF THE

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY RACE. BOTH CANDIDATES MAKING THEIR FINAL PITCHES IN THE GRANITE STATE. HALEY APPEARED PRETTY OPTIMISTIC TODAY, SPEAKING TO OUR RACHEL SCOTT AT A POLLING LOCATION IN BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> TAKE A LISTEN. >> GOVERNOR, HOW ARE YOU FEELING HEADING INTO THE FINAL DAY? DO YOU FEEL CONFIDENT CAN CLOSE THIS GAP?

WE’RE EXCITED. I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT ELECTION DAY IS ALL ABOUT, DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM AND PEOPLE GOING AND SHOWING THE POWER, THEIR VOICE TODAY, THE GREAT DAY TO SHOW POWER. >> THEIR BOYS ARE EXCITED. HALEY HAS VOWED TO STAY IN THE RACE NO MATTER THE OUTCOME TONIGHT. AND AS FOR TRUMP HE SAYS,

THAT DOESN’T BOTHER HIM ONE BIT. HERE’S AN EXCHANGE, HIM AND RACHEL SCOTT. >> EARLIER, THIS WAS AT A HIGH SCHOOL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> HE THAT WAS STAYING IN A THREAT TO, YOU KNOW, YOU AND I DON’T CARE IF SHE STAYS THERE LET HER DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS. IT DOESN’T MATTER.

I COULD JUST SAY THAT. THERE’S NEVER BEEN A MOVEMENT LIKE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IN THE HISTORY OUR COUNTRY. >> ALL RIGHT. RECENT POLLS HAVING TRUMP’S CONFIDENCE, THE LATEST NATIONAL AVERAGE FROM OUR PARTNERS, FIVETHIRTYEIGHT, SHOW HIM LEADING HALEY BY MORE THAN 50 POINTS. ABC NEWSHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL.

JOHN, SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU WITH US HERE TODAY. AND LISTEN, YOU HAVE POINTED OUT ESSENTIALLY THIS. >> WHAT WE’RE WATCHING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE RIGHT NOW IS THE ONE ON ONE RACE THAT HALEY WANTED, THAT ANTI-TRUMP REPUBLICANS WANTED. YET IT STILL ALMOST LOOKING LIKE IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR TRUMP.

SO EVEN IF SHE EKED OUT A SURPRISE WHEN SHE WOULD HAVE A LOT OF GROUND TO MAKE UP NATIONALLY STILL. >> RIGHT? A CERTAINLY AND LET’S KEEP IN MIND, THE POLLS ARE ONE THING, BUT FINALLY TODAY, PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY VOTING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS LIKE

TWO SURPRISED US IN THE PAST. WE HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PRESIDENTIAL CYCLES WHERE A FRONT RUNNER COMES INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE ONLY BE PUSHED ASIDE AND SUFFER A DEFEAT. THAT HAPPENED WITH BARACK OBAMA AFTER HIS DEFEAT IN IOWA IN 2008. SUDDENLY, HILLARY CLINTON CAME BACK AND WON IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,

EVEN THOUGH THE POLLS THAT SHE WAS DOWN BY DOUBLE DIGITS. SO WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN. BUT YOUR YOUR SECOND POINT IS AN IMPORTANT ONE, WHICH IS EVEN NIKKI HALEY FINDS A WAY TO WIN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE OR KEEP IT REALLY CLOSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THIS IS THE STATE THAT IS

REALLY BEST FOR HER. IT’S A STATE THAT IS DOMINATED BY INDEPENDENT VOTERS. IT’S A STATE WHERE UP TO, YOU KNOW, 40% OR MORE OF THE ELECTORATE ON ANY GIVEN CAN BE INDEPENDENT VOTERS. THOSE WOULD BE VOTERS MORE OPENLY DISPOSED TO NIKKI HALEY THAN TO DONALD TRUMP. SO WE’LL SEE.

WE’LL SEE HOW IT GOES. BUT AFTER THAT, IT GOES TO SOUTH CAROLINA, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, THAT A MUCH TOUGHER STATE FOR HER. >> AND WE KNOW SHE’S PUT A LOT OF FOCUS, NEW HAMPSHIRE TIME AND MONEY ON NEW HAMPSHIRE AS WELL. SO IT’S CERTAINLY IMPORTANT HER.

>> LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT SHE’S SAYING MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. RIGHT. SHE TOLD RACHEL SCOTT SHE’S GOING TO STAY IN THIS RACE UNTIL SUPER NO MATTER WHAT. AND THEN HER CAMPAIGN IS TRYING TO EXPRESS CONFIDENCE THROUGHOUT THE STATE. IT’S ALSO, JON, MY UNDERSTANDING SHE REITERATED

THAT SENTIMENT, IF YOU WILL, IN A RECENT MEMO TO THE PRESS. SO, JON, WITH A MOVE LIKE THAT, DOES THAT MAKE YOU A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE POTENCY OF HER CAMPAIGN HERE? >> WELL, IT WAS INTERESTING THAT THE MEMO THAT YOU’RE REFERRING TO CAME OUT THIS

MORNING AT ABOUT 10 A.M. IT WAS FROM HER CAMPAIGN TEAM AND SAID THAT SHE IS GOING TO GO ON NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND MADE THE CASE THAT THE STATES THAT FOLLOW COULD ALSO BE A STATES FOR HER SUPER TUESDAY. >> MORE THAN HALF THE STATES ARE ALSO STATES WHERE

INDEPENDENT UNAFFILIATED VOTERS CAN VOTE IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, IS WHAT THIS MEMO SAID. BUT I I READ THE MEMO BRIMMED WITH CONFIDENCE. THIS CAMPAIGN IS GOING NO MATTER WHAT. BUT IT IS UNUSUAL TO SEE A MEMO LIKE THAT OUT 10 A.M. ON THE MORNING WHEN VOTERS ARE GOING TO VOTE.

IT ALMOST SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF AN ARGUMENT THAT SHE SHOULD GET OUT OF THE RACE IF SHE DOES NOT WIN IT. THERE. NO QUESTION GOING INTO THIS, THE POLLS HAVE SUGGESTED TRUMP IS GOT IT AS A WIDE LEAD. >> THERE IS OBVIOUS CONFIDENCE COMING.

TRUMP SUPPORTERS AND A LOWERING OF EXPECTATIONS FROM HALEY’S SUPPORTERS. BUT CAIN, I MEAN, NOT TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN PRETTY SOON WE’RE GOING TO ACTUALLY KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN VOTING AND. >> WE JUST DON’T KNOW. AND B, WHERE NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS IN THE PAST US AND COULD DO SO AGAIN TODAY.

>> I REALLY THIS I MEAN, I LIKE HOW EXCITED YOU ARE ABOUT WATCHING THE OUTCOME AND WATCHING IT PLAY THERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE BECAUSE I CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE NOT ALONE IN THAT EXCITEMENT, JOHN, BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT IF THIS LANDSLIDE WIN DOES FOR TRUMP AS IT IS PREDICTED.

YOU JUST HEARD HIM THERE A MINUTE AGO SAYING THIS IS A MOVEMENT LIKE YOU’VE NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE. THIS MAGA MOVEMENT, YOU KNOW. WHAT IS HIS MESSAGE GOING TO BE IF HE DOES GET THAT LANDSLIDE WIN? >> TRUMP IS ALREADY REALLY HEARING THE MESSAGE, BUT THE MESSAGE IS, IT’S OVER.

>> IT’S OVER. I AM THE NOMINEE. IT IS TIME FOR REPUBLICANS TO GET BEHIND ME. AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TRUMP FOR A WHILE. EVEN BEFORE HE WON IN IOWA, HE BEEN TURNING THE SCREWS ON REPUBLICAN ELECTED OFFICIALS ,TELLING THEM, GET IN LINE, GET YOUR ENDORSEMENTS OUT, AND,

YOU KNOW, AND HE’S BEEN SUCCESSFUL. IF YOU LOOK AT IT, NIKKI HALEY DOESN’T HAVE ANY ANY SENATE ENDORSEMENTS. HE’S GOT HE’S A WHOLE LONG LIST OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS ENDORSING HIM. HE HAS HIS FORMER RIVALS, RAMASWAMY SCOTT DESANTIS, EVEN. SO, LOOK HE’S GOING TO COME OUT AND SAY IT’S OVER. I AM THE NOMINEE.

I ACTUALLY I THINK HE’LL SAY THAT NO MATTER, WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT? >> POSSIBLY. AND JOHN, I HAVE TO SAY, I HEARD YOU POINT OUT THAT IF THAT HAPPENS RIGHT NOW, IF IT BE IF HALEY DROPS OUT AND IT’S TRUMP AND BIDEN, THAT THIS WOULD BE THE LONGEST GENERAL OF OUR LIFETIME.

I MEAN, WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO AMERICANS? >> YEAH, GOD HELP US. I MEAN, IT’S I MEAN, IT’S REALLY THE CASE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SITUATION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT, BUT THEY SET THE STAGE FOR THE LATER PRIMARIES. IF TRUMP PULLS OFF A BIG WIN

AGAIN BIG IF IF HE OFF A BIG WIN TONIGHT, HE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE OVER. HE WON’T HAVE THE DELEGATES REQUIRED YET, BUT IT’S GOING TO SET THE STAGE. WE’VE REALLY THE LAST TIME WE SAW SOMETHING CLOSE TO THAT AND THIS IS WE’RE GOING REACHING BACK INTO HISTORY HERE

WOULD BE 1992 WHEN GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, THE FIRST BUSH, WON BOTH IOWA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE, BUT STILL BOB DOLE WAS IN THE RACE. THERE WERE OTHERS THAT STILL WENT ON FOR FOUR OTHER STATES, BUT HE WAS EFFECTIVELY THE OVERWHELMING FRONT RUNNER, WENT ON TO WIN THE NOMINATION.

>> THE PRESIDENCY NOW OF ANYONE IS GOING TO GET YOU EXCITED ABOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY. >> IT IS JON. KARL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US TODAY, JOHN. ALL RIGHT I WANT TO OF COURSE, I WANT TO BRING OUR BIG STORY TO OUR PANEL NOW.

SO JOINING US TODAY IS OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE MYERS, OUR ABC NEWS AND FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN FROM NEW YORK, JOHN KATKO, OUR DEMOCRATIC L’ANCIENNE JOHNSON, AND ABC NEWS DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER BRAVING THE COLD FOR US ONCE AGAIN. SO, AVERY, TRUMP MADE SURPRISE APPEARANCE RIGHT IN

LONDONDERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE, TODAY SORT OF. AND WE ARE TALKING WITH YOUR SOURCES ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT. DOES THE TRUMP PAIN STILL FEEL EXTREMELY CONFIDENT OR DOES MAKING SURPRISE APPEARANCE LIKE THAT SIGNAL SOMETHING ELSE? LISTEN, I’LL TELL YOU THAT OUR CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT, SHE SPOKE WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TODAY AND HE

EXUDED A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN OUR CONVERSATION. HE SAID THAT HE DOES NOT CARE WHAT NIKKI HALEY DOES AT THIS POINT, THAT SHE COULD STAY IN THE RACE, THAT SHE COULD GET OUT OF THE RACE, THAT IT DOESN’T MATTER. HE FEELS AS THOUGH THE PARTY IS GOING TO UNITE AROUND HIM.

WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND OLYMPIA TO YOU. WE HEARD EARLIER TODAY FROM BY THE BIDEN-HARRIS CAMPAIGN, THEY’RE PUTTING A LOT OF FOCUS ON PRESERVING ABORTION RIGHTS HERE. THAT’S HOW THEY’RE STARTING OFF. DO THINK THAT THAT IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THEM TO KICK OFF?

THEY’RE SORT OF OVERLOOKING, SOME WOULD SAY, OTHER ISSUES THAT VOTERS CONSIDER IMPORTANT, LIKE IMMIGRATION. >> LISTEN, I THINK ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. BUT I SPENT SIX YEARS WORKING FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD, AND I KNOW THIS ISSUE INTIMATELY WELL ,ESPECIALLY ON THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE. AND THE FACT IS THAT ESPECIALLY

ROE V. WADE WAS OVERTURNED. IT HAS BEEN THE DECIDING ISSUE FOR NOT JUST DEMOCRATS, BUT IT’S ALSO ONE IN A LOT OF RED STATES. AND SO IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE BIDEN-HARRIS CAMPAIGN IS WAGING BETS ON THIS. AND I ACTUALLY SUPPORT IT, THAT ABORTION WILL BE ISSUE

TO TAKE THEM OVER THE LINE, NOT ONLY THERE, BUT ALSO THE HOUSE AS WELL AND WE’VE SEEN IT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND I’M PRETTY SURE THEY WILL SEE SOME MORE VICTORIES. AND AS THEY CONTINUE TO DRAW A DISTINCTION BETWEEN, THEIR POLICIES AND THE EXTREME GOP POLICIES THAT ONCE

A ABORTION. YEAH YEAH AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO WOMEN TODAY HE SAID YOU KNOW, TRUMP DOESN’T KNOW THE POWER OF WOMEN AND JOHN, LET’S TAKE THAT TO YOU. >> HOW MUCH OF A WIN DOES NIKKI HALEY NEED OR HOW MUCH DOES SHE JUST NEED TO TIGHTEN UP THOSE

POLL NUMBERS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE? >> WELL, I THINK THE EXPERTS ARE SKY HIGH FOR TRUMP. AND PART OF THIS IS ON DOING SO . IF SHE MAKES IT A GOOD FIGHT TONIGHT, I THINK SHE THEM FIGHT ANOTHER DAY. >> I BET IT’S IMPORTANT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT AROUND

THE CORNER, LET’S NOT FORGET THE SUPER TUESDAY AND THOSE OTHER THINGS. THERE’S ALSO A FEW OTHER THINGS HAPPENING THIS YEAR AND A SINGLE TRIAL OF DONALD TRUMP. WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT’S GOING TO PLAY OUT. BUT WE KNOW ONE THING FOR SURE. EVEN THE REPUBLICAN POLLING,

THAT IF HE DOESN’T, I THINK GETS CONVICTED, AT LEAST 25% SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO GET A LOT REGARDLESS. >> LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ALL RIGHT. AND MIKE, TO YOU WERE TOLD YESTERDAY BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE GOP THAT THESE UNDECIDED VOTERS CAN BREAK LATE. AND WE’RE SEEING BOTH TRUMP AND

HALEY SHOWING UP AT SOME OF THESE LOCATIONS. >> WHAT DOES THAT INDICATE TO YOU? LISTEN, THIS IS THE RACE THAT NIKKI HALEY WANTED, SHE WANTED A TWO PERSON RACE AND THIS IS THE RACE THAT SHE WANTED. SO BECAUSE OF RACE THAT SHE WANTED, SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE COULD BE COMPETITIVE THINKING

THAT POSSIBLY GOVERNOR CHRISTIE VOTERS AND SUPPORTERS WILL COME OVER TO HER. CAN UNDERSTANDING THAT GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS VOTERS MORE THAN LIKELY GO OVER TO TRUMP? SHE WAS REALLY BANKING ON THESE INDEPENDENTS AND MODERATES TO COME OUT IN FULL FORCE AND STRENGTH FOR HER TO WIN. KEILAR I CAN’T UNDERSCORE THIS

ENOUGH, NIKKI HAS GOT TO WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE REASON WHY IS THE NEXT STOP IS SOUTH CAROLINA, WHICH SHE IS FALLING BEHIND, THE IDEA THAT SHE DIDN’T WIN IOWA. IF YOU DON’T WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND YOU DON’T WIN YOUR HOME STATE, WHAT MOMENTUM DO YOU HAVE? AND THEN WHAT NARRATIVE COMES

OUT OF THAT THAT CAN PROPEL HER INTO SUPER TUESDAY? >> SO TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT FOR NIKKI HALEY. >> ALL RIGHT. AND WE’LL BE WATCHING IT CLOSELY, MIKE, JOHN ON CNN. AVERY, OUR THANKS ALL OF YOU. AND BE SURE TO STREAM OUR SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY.

THEY’RE TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO. IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. >> ANYWHERE. WOW. IN CONNECTED WORLD, MISINFORMATION CAN MASQUERADE AS FACT ERODING TRUST, DIVIDING COMMUNITIES. >> BUT BEHIND EVERY SHARE IS A PERSON WITH A DECISION. JOIN THE MOVEMENT FOR A MORE NEWS LITERATE AMERICA.

EDWARD R MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO YOU START HERE ABC NEWS MAKE GET YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE.

AND LET US ALL AGREE ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO ABANDON THEIR FAITH OR DEEPLY HELD BELIEFS TO AGREE . THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE TELLING HER WHAT TO WITH HER BODY. ALL RIGHT. INTO THE SPOTLIGHT, PRESIDENT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS SHARING THE STAGE ALONG WITH THEIR SPOUSES IN FIRST JOINT

APPEARANCE OF THE 2024 CAMPAIGN SEASON. THE CAMPAIGN RALLY FOCUSING ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND HIGHLIGHTING HOW THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN PLANS TO MAKE ABORTION ACCESS. THE MAIN MESSAGE THAT THEY LIKELY REMATCH WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. I WANT TO BRING BACK OUR PANEL HERE, MIKE MUSE JOHN KATKO, CYNTHIA JOHNSON.

AND JOINING US IS OUR SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG, WHO WAS IN THAT AND HE WAS INTERRUPTED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE HE COULD EVEN START BY PROTESTERS. BUT SELINA, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AGAIN, MAKING ABORTION RIGHTS ONE OF THEIR TOP PRIORITIES IN THIS REELECTION CAMPAIGN. IS THAT GOING TO BE ENOUGH

TO CHANGE THE PRESIDENT’S LOW APPROVAL RATINGS? >> WELL, THEY’RE BANKING ON IT, AS YOU SAY, WHILE HE’S STRUGGLING WITH THESE LOW APPROVAL RATINGS, AS WELL AS VOTERS FRUSTRATION OVER INFLATION. THEY SEE THIS AS A GALVANIZING ISSUE BECAUSE OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WE’VE SEEN IN RED AND BLUE STATES THAT VOTERS

HAVE CHOSEN TO ABORTION RIGHTS. AND SO THEY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN CUT ACROSS LINES AND UNITE NOT JUST DEMOCRATS, BUT ALSO SOME REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS. BUT AS YOU SAY, THIS WAS PRETTY UNPRECEDENTED THAT NUMBER OF INTERRUPTIONS THAT THE PRESIDENT FACED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES THROUGHOUT HIS SPEECH. PROTESTERS WOULDN’T STAND UP

AND START CHANTING INCLUDING, JOE, OR YOU’RE KILLING BABIES OR YOU’RE NOT STANDING UP FOR WOMEN. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE PRESIDENT’S HANDLING OF THE WAR AND ISRAEL AND WITH ISRAEL AND HAMAS. AND THAT WAS REALLY OVERSHADOWING A LOT OF THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE AS HE TRIED TO REMAIN FIRED UP AND PRESENT

. >> AND IN THE MOMENT EVERY FEW MINUTES THIS WAS HAPPENING. AND THAT UNDERSCORES ANOTHER THING THAT IS DIVIDING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE PRESIDENT’S STAUNCH SUPPORT OF ISRAEL. >> WE’RE SEEING PROGRESSIVES AND YOUNG VOTERS ANGRY OVER THAT. >> RIGHT. AND BUT AGAIN, HE STARTED OFF HIS CAMPAIGN PURELY JUST THIS ABORTION ISSUE.

BUT JOHN, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT REPUBLICANS HERE, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME THAT ABORTION HAS ON THE BALLOT SINCE ROE VERSUS WADE WAS OVERTURNED, THAT THE SUPPORTERS OF ABORTION ACCESS ULTIMATELY ARE SUCCESSFUL. SO IS THIS A LOSING ARGUMENT RIGHT NOW FOR THE GOP. I MEAN, BIDEN POINTED AT TRUMP

DIRECTLY IN HIS SPEECH TODAY. >> YEAH, THERE’S NO QUESTION IT’S NOT A GOOD ISSUE FOR REPUBLICANS AND IT’S A GREAT ISSUE FOR THE DEMOCRATS. BUT THE THING THAT BIDEN SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT IS IT’S BEEN A GREAT ISSUE SINCE LAST YEAR OR BEFORE THEM AND BIDEN IS STILL IN THE TOILET.

SO I’M NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT’S GOING TO MOVE THE NEEDLE FOR HIM IS STILL GOING TO BE DOWN TO ECONOMICS, NOT INCLUDING THE PALESTINA PALESTINE ISSUE. SO THIS IS THE ISSUE WE SHOULD BE PUSHING. NOT SURE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN . >> YES. SO, LINSEY, LET’S TAKE THAT TO YOU.

I MEAN, DO YOU THINK THAT THIS BECOMES A DECIDING ISSUE IN 2024 BECAUSE IT DOESN’T POLL AS HIGH AS SOME ISSUES LIKE THE ECONOMY AND IMMIGRATION FOR VOTERS? LOOK, THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING. AND 2022 GOING INTO THE MIDTERMS, LITERALLY AFTER ROE WAS OVERTURNED, AND YET IT

WAS A TOP ISSUE FOR A LOT OF VOTERS. AND ABORTION IS AN ECONOMIC ISSUE FOR A LOT OF FOLKS. >> AND YES, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE GOING INTO THE POLLS THINKING ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN PALESTINE. THAT IS A TOP ISSUE FOR A LOT OF YOUNG VOTERS AND THIS ISSUE AS WELL.

AND SO WE’VE GOT ALMOST A YEAR FOR PEOPLE TO GRAPPLE WITH THAT. BUT ONE THING I KNOW, AND HAVING WORKED ON FOUR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS, THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN, IS THAT THESE THESE CONVERSATIONS, THESE DIRECT EVENTS WITH VOTERS AND WORKING IN COALITION WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ADVOCATING FOR THOSE RIGHTS, EVENTUALLY MOVE

THE NEEDLE AND ALLOWS FOR INDEPENDENTS AND MODERATES AND VOTERS WHO HAVEN’T BEEN ENGAGED TO START BEING ENGAGED AS WELL. AND I DO BELIEVE IT WILL BE WHAT WILL GET DEMOCRATS OVER THE LINE AND THE END OF THIS YEAR. >> AND WE KNOW THAT DEMOCRATS ARE MAKING A BIG PUSH HERE FOR SUBURBAN WOMEN.

KAMALA HARRIS SPENT YESTERDAY THE GROUND TRYING TO SPEAK WITH SUBURBAN WOMEN. AND ALSO DURING A SPEECH TODAY, MIKE, PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID THAT TRUMP DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT THE POWER OF WOMEN IN THE WORLD. >> THIS IS VERY TRUE. WOMEN DO HAVE A HAVE AN INCREDIBLE VOICE IN THE WORLD AND PARTICULAR WOMEN

HAVE A VERY STRONG VOICE IN A DEMOCRATIC. BUT IF I MAY, I WOULD LIKE TO PUT THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN LINSEY AND KATKO TOGETHER. LINSEY IS RIGHT. WE ARE A YEAR OUT, SO A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. BUT JOHN IS ALSO RIGHT AND THE FACT OF WHAT IS TOP OF MIND

RIGHT NOW IS THE ECONOMY. ALTHOUGH ALL INDICATORS ARE POINTING TO THAT WE ARE IN A STRONG ECONOMY. INFLATION IS COMING DOWN. YOU LOOK AT HIGH TICKET ITEMS LIKE ELECTRONICS, HOMES AND CARS ARE FALLING, BUT THE PRICES OF EVERYDAY GROCERIES ARE STAYING STAGNANT. YOU ALSO TO LOOK AT WHAT’S

HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE VERY BOTHERED BY THAT. BUT CANADA. LOOK AT THE STAGE. IF YOU LOOK AT ANYONE BEHIND PRESIDENT BIDEN TODAY, YOU SAW MULTICULTURAL YOUNGER DEMOGRAPHIC BEHIND HIM WHILE. PEOPLE WERE PROTESTING IN THE AUDIENCE. THAT RIGHT THERE, THEY’RE AT ODDS WITH THEIR BASE.

>> THAT’S A REALLY GOOD POINT AND GOOD. I MEAN, YET HE COULD HARDLY GET HIS CAMPAIGN KICKED OFF WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED ABOUT PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST. MIKE, JOHN ALLEN AND SELINA, OUR THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. >> AND COMING UP IN OUR LAST CALL THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS

ARE OUT. SO WE’LL TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OF HOLLYWOOD’S FINEST ACTORS HISTORY AND SOME NEW FACES POISED FOR OSCAR GLORY WHEN WE COME BACK. >> THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE. THE CRUSH OF FAMILIES HERE IN POLAND AT REFUGEE CENTERS IN PUTIN’S RUSSIA ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE CLOSE TO THE FRONT

WITH THE MONOLOGUE FROM BARBIE THAT EARNED HER AN OSCAR NOMINATION FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS. MORNING. SOME THOUGHT IT WAS A SURPRISE. I LOVE THAT SHE’S ALREADY MADE HISTORY AT THE EMMYS AS THE FIRST LATINA TO WIN THE LEAD ACTRESS CATEGORY FOR THE HIT COMEDY SERIES UGLY BETTY.

A LOT OF OUR HISTORY MADE THIS MORNING, BY THE WAY. THERE WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR NOMINATED IN EVERY ACTING CATEGORY, INCLUDING LILY GLADSTONE BECOMING THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN NOMINATED FOR LEAD IN KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, COLMAN DOMINGO, THE FIRST AFRO-LATINO TO BE NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTOR FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS

DRAMA RUSTIN. HE’S JOINED IN THAT CATEGORY BY BROADWAY STAR JEFFREY WRIGHT WITH BEST LEAD ACTOR NOMINATION FOR AMERICAN FICTION AND THE NOMINATIONS OF JODIE FOSTER FOR NYAD AND DOMINGO. ALSO NOT THE TIME THAT TWO OPENLY LGBTQ ACTORS HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR PLAYING LGBTQ CHARACTERS. SO I WANT TO BRING BACK OUR PANEL HERE.

MIKE, JOHN ALLEN AND AVERY. IT WAS AN EXCITING MORNING AND. MIKE IS STILL WEARING HIS OSCARS BEST, BY THE WAY, AND SO, YOU KNOW, MIKE, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY THAT WE SAW THIS MORNING JUST WITH THE NOMINATIONS CHAMPIONING EXCELLENCE AND DIVERSITY AT THE OSCARS, IN YOUR OPINION, DOES THAT KIND

OF PUT THE DAYS OF YOU REMEMBER HASHTAG, DOES THAT DOES THAT PUT IT BEHIND US NOW? OH, BECAUSE PUTS US BEHIND AS THERE’S ALWAYS A REMINDER OF HOW FAR THAT WE HAVE COME. AND WHEN YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THE WORK THAT THE ACADEMY HAS DONE IN PARTICULAR

AND REALLY CHANGING THE DEMOGRAPHIC OF THE BRANCHES OR THE CATEGORIES THAT PEOPLE CAN NOMINATE. THE ACADEMY WORKED REALLY HARD TO BRING IN A NEW MEMBERSHIP, AND I THINK WE’RE SEEING THE FRUITS OF THAT LABOR START TO TO REAP THE HARVEST OF THAT WHERE NEW MEMBERS DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS ARE SEEING THESE FILMS

ARE NOMINATING DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS. I MEAN REALLY SAYING THE FIRST TIME AN INDIGENOUS ACTOR FOR A FEMALE LEAD I MEAN JUST INCREDIBLE AND WE’RE ALSO SEEING IT, YOU KNOW BECAUSE THE INTERNATIONAL VOTING BODY IS MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE HERE. ALICIA, WE THREE NON-ENGLISH FILMS NOMINATED AND BEST PICTURE. I MEAN, IT WAS EXCITING MORNING.

>> THIS IS SUCH AN EXCITING MORNING OF MANY FIRSTS AND WE’RE JUST SOAKING ALL OF THEM. AND I WANT TO ALSO MAKE A POINT AROUND JEFFREY WRIGHT. IF HE WINS IN THIS CATEGORY HE IS THEN ONLY ONE AWARD AWAY FROM BEING. AND YOU GOT RIGHT LIKE THERE’S SO MUCH HAPPENING HERE AND I

WANT TO BRING UP THOUGH THERE WAS WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT AMERICA FERRERA LORETTA WAS NOT IN THE DIRECTORS CATEGORY FOR THE MOVIE THAT LITERALLY TOOK OVER THE WORLD LAST YEAR AND ECONOMICALLY. SO IT’LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I’M EXCITED. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF GREAT FIRMS, BUT THERE’S ALSO SOME NORMAL
