Mike Pence's response to Derek Jeter in Salt Lake City, Utah

As you know, we've heard Derek Jeter criticizing me and Biden and Gillibrand for supporting the Iraq War during a time I was at the House of Representatives. I guess Mr. Jeter believes that the world is a better place when Iraq is a safe heaven for terrorism and when terrorists can use this region as a base to prepare terrorist attacks against us and our allies. He couldn't be more wrong than this. No wonder that he doesn't have any national security experience to lead this nation and keep it safe like this administration did in the last 4 years.

Saddam Hussein gave sancturay to some of the worst radical Islamic terrorists. He had given sanctuary to Abu Nidal, Abu Abbas (who was directly responsible for the death of Leon Klinghoffer, an American Jew abroad the Achille Lauro) and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad terrorist who was involved in the millennium plot, a terrorist attempt to commit bombing attacks against tourist sites in Jordan as well as against the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and the USS The Sullivans in the context of millennium celebrations. After that, al-Zarqawi trained jihadists in Pakistan and Afghanistan. After 2001, he flew to Iraq and Saddam Hussein gave him sanctuary and even rejected requests from Jordan to hand over al-Zarqawi, which proved him to be a sponsor of terrorism and made Iraq a safe place for jihadists. And the message was very clear : either you stand with us or you are with the enemy.

By that time, al-Zarqawi founded Al-Qaeda in Iraq and was responsible for the 2005 bombing of three hotels in Amman, Jordan. But after we toppled Saddam Hussein, Iraq was no longer a safe haven for terrorism and we finally killed al-Zarqawi in 2006.

And now, thanks to our airstrikes against ISIS and to the provision of weapons and military training to the Kurds and the Peshmerga, we have totally eliminated ISIS in Iraq in 2017 and we are about to do the same in Syria.

That's how we're going to keep America safe and prevent another 9/11 or further attacks like the ones we suffered in San Bernardino and Orlando, not with the weak foreign policy adopted by Derek Jeter that would gut our military and make America an easier target for radical Islamic terrorism. Victory against ISIS is imminent and I intend to finish the job for the sake of the preservation of freedom, democracy, security, justice and peace.

Gillibrand Campaign Schedule March 20-26th

March 20th

Rally in Daytona Beach on green energy production and protections for LGBTQ individuals

Rally in Orlando



"This administration sat back and didn't help Puerto Rico rebuild, and just cast aside all responsibility for an island full of US citizens. The fact is, it is a naked display of racism and neglect. We need to make sure that Republicans like Trump and Mike Pence don't forget that Puerto Ricans are American citizens, and the well-being of the island is our responsibility. I believe we need to expand statehood to Puerto Rico, and work to rebuild their grid to prepare for any future natural disasters."

Town Halls in Palm Bay and Port St. Lucie with a focus on Medicare-For-All

March 21st

Rally in Lakeland, Florida

Town halls in Sebastian and Vero Beach

Rally in Miami

"Florida can be a leader on the issue of green energy. Just imagine what potential could be held in solar and wind power throughout this state. We could dramatically make energy costs cheaper, while also creating production and installation jobs, all while keeping the country green. Our energy independence is key to being able to facilitate long term job growth and fairer trade deals."

March 22nd

Town halls across Miami, talking with voters about common sense gun control measures

Rally in Naples about healthcare reform and postal banking

Rally in Sarasota



"We need to work to ensure that our natural resources are protected from the effects of climate change and pollution. We've seen firsthand what happens when environmental protections are put on the back-burner, with algae blooms destroying ecosystems and hurricanes that have increased in strength and size. It is our job in government to help people, and providing clean air and water is crucial to that goal. As part of my jobs program, I plan on having room for not only building infrastructure, but also making sure our natural landmarks are cared for."

March 23rd

Rally in Tampa

"Paid family leave is the first step towards equal pay for equal work, and it is a shame the United States lags behind on this issue. We need to pass paid family leave to ensure that mothers and fathers have that all too crucial time with their newborn, which statistically increases that child's chances of success. Our nation is too prosperous to not provide for the care-givers that support our society as a whole."

Rally in Spring Hill on immigration reform

Town Hall in Ocala on common sense gun control

Rallies in Panama City and Pensacola on criminal justice reform and postal banking

March 24th

Campaign Heads to Arizona

Rally in Tucson

"It is absolutely cruel to tear families apart under the guise of supporting this country's interests. The fact is, immigrants are our neighbors, looking for a better life and further opportunities. They pay taxes, they have families, and create businesses, but Republicans want to sell racist scare tactics to tell you otherwise. I know Arizonans are too smart for this, and that we all know our country is at its greatest when we are all given the pathways to success, regardless of our backgrounds."

Rally in Phoenix on solar energy production

Town Halls in Mesa and Chandler speaking on paid family leave

March 25th

Campaign travels to Idaho

Rally in Boise on education reform

Town Halls in Boise on criminal justice reform

Rally in Meridian on Medicare-For-All

March 26th

Campaign rolls into Washington

Rally in Spokane on trade



Tour of rural parts of Washington speaking on rural broadband and infrastructure

Town Hall in Tacoma talking to voters about paid family leave

Rally in Bellevue on LGBTQ issues

Rally in Seattle on electoral reform

"For the cost of a cup of coffee a day, we could have dark money out of politics with publicly funded elections. This would erase the income gap candidates have and allow an easier entry point for potential candidates. The fact is, this would increase public engagement in our politics, along with allowing more women, people of color, and LGBTQ people to run for office. We can not allow money to continue to dominate our politics as it presently does."

Kirsten Gillibrand Runs Ad ‘Disaster’ in Primary States

“What we’ve seen from this administration is a self made disaster.”





“This is the legacy Mike Pence would like to carry on for four more years.”

“Americans have had enough of inhumane domestic policy, reckless leadership, and chaotic foreign policy.”



“It’s time for leadership that cares about you. That’s what Kirsten Gillibrand has to offer, brave compassion in the face of cynicism.”



“I’m Kirsten Gillibrand and I support this message.”

[UWS]

Mike Pence's responds to Kirsten Gillibrand's attacks in Melbourne, Florida

By attacking me on this administration's policies, Senator Gillibrand has proven to be out of touch. If our policies were really a disaster, we would not have created 4 and a half million new jobs in the last four years, we would not have had brought the unemployment rate at its lowest rate since 1970 which is below 4 %, we would not have eradicated ISIS in Iraq and we would not have gotten North Korea to denuclearize.

The reality is that Senator Gillibrand's tax hike job-killing plan has failed to get this economy strong just like her weak foreign policy plan gutting our military power and our security measures have failed to keep America safe and to reinforce international peace. The reason why we got the strongest economy since a half-century is because we care about the people. And our foreign policy kept our people safe because it put America's interests first.

The American people wants progress and that's why, with a Pence Administration, we're going to keep Moving America forward.

Kirsten Gillibrand Runs Ad “For Our Kids” Nationwide

“After Pulse, we said never again.”



“After Parkland, we said never again.”



“Yet Congress has refused to act on the gun violence that has infiltrated our schools, churches, nightclubs, movie theaters, and neighborhoods.”

“I’m a mother and I can not stand for the fear that I feel for my sons everyday. No parent should be fearful to send a child to school. Enough is enough.”



“This is why I have supported bills to combat gun violence, close loopholes that allow domestic abusers to get guns, and ban bump stocks that are used to increase the killing power of these weapons. This issue isn’t about politics, and it shouldn’t be partisan. We need to do this for the kids who just want to go to school, for the congregation that just wants to worship, and for every single person who wants to go about their lives peacefully.”

“I’m Kirsten Gillibrand, and I support this message.”

[Jaguar4life]

Jeter responses to Pence on Twitter

Mr Pence I have much respect for the Milltary as any American should however many Americans are with me on the issue of that we spend too much on the Milltary and that we should invest that money so that every person can have good healthcare, a good education, not being able to worry about getting trouble investing into  social security and make sure that every single American has a good job.

We can still have that and we will still have the biggest milltary in the world.

[terp40hitch]

Marc Caputo: It is 7:00 pm on the eastern coast and the first polls are closed in Florida. We have our first results coming in but we cannot call the election till 8:00 pm when the rest of the polls close. Let's look at the results:

Florida Primary Results (0.7%)

Joaquin Castro: 22%

Joe Biden: 22%

Kristen Gillibrand: 21%

Derek Jeter: 20%

Sherrod Brown: 15%

Marc Caputo: Right now, Castro is leading by a very small margin over Biden. Now let's look at which areas the candidates need to win tonight with taking a look at the 2018 Democratic primary where Gwen Graham barely won over Sanders backed candidate Andrew Gillum who surged in the final days and we will also take a look at the 2016 Democratic primary where Clinton won overwhelmingly.

Marc Caputo: First, let's talk about the frontrunner right now. Castro ran a very good campaign up to the primary tonight with a successful bus tour but he did have a set back when his campaign accidentally accounted that Arizona senator Krysten Sinema endorsed him while she actually endorsed Sherrod Brown. Castro hopes he can put that behind him tonight as he needs a victory in Florida which is a Hispanic dominated area. Castro needs to win all the areas in green on the right which were Phillip Levine counties and some of the most Hispanic counties. Castro doesn't just need to win those areas but he also has to outperform in those areas by at least 2-3% or more if he doesn't win the next few counties I am about to list. Second, Castro needs to flip Miami-Dade county which went for Andrew Gillum two years ago and Castro needs to also flip the Palm Beach County which also went to Gillum two years ago. Third, Castro needs to improve on Levine's 2018 performance in the panhandle where he was getting around 8%-10%. Castro needs to at least be winning 15% in these counties or you will see a sharp drop in Castro percentage at 8:00 pm when the panhandle closes its polls.

Now, second right now is Biden who looking at the 2016 and 2018 map would have a good chance at winning but he is splitting the working class vote with Brown which was really helpful to Clinton in 2016 in her victory. If you are going to be seeing a Biden victory it is going be because of three things. One, Brown's vote has to be kept under 15% or that working class is very split which will hurt the chances of a Biden victory. Second, Biden path to victory lies in the panhandle. Biden needs to do very well in the rest of the state which will be around 20% but once you go to the panhandle, Biden needs to close not only the gap but also flip some counties that Gillum and Sanders won in 2018 and 2016 or else Biden will have another tough competitor in Jeter. Third, Biden needs to bring out the African-American vote especially in Tallahassee. If Biden can do two of those three things then you will be seeing a Biden victory in Florida.

Third is Gillibrand who is also in a good position tonight especially with some very successful advertisements from the campaign. Gillibrand doesn't have any certain area she needs to overperform in she just needs to hope that Biden and Jeter do poorly in the panhandle and Castro isn't able to flip former Levine counties. Though, Gillibrand needs to overperform in the panhandle if Biden is underperforming or that means that either Castro is doing very well or Jeter is which could spell disaster for her Florida effort.

Right at this moment, Jeter is in a close fourth place but I don't think that will last especially once the panhandle closes. Jeter like the other four are well positioned for first place but Jeter does have a very clear path to victory considering how well Gillum did four years earlier and considering that Gillibrand and Biden are splitting the Graham, Greene and King vote from four years earlier. Jeter needs to hold onto a lot of the Gillum counties but he can sacrifice a few like Tallahassee which will probably go for Biden but the counties he cannot lose is the panhandle counties which will be his late-night surprise boost which helped both Gillum and Sanders in their election and he needs to hold onto Orange and Hillsbrough county if a win is in Jeter playbook toight.

Brown is in last and though he is close and may pull an upset many within the campaign are just trying to secure delegates. Brown may play the spoiler espically in the Panhadle where it is heavily white, working class voters which will be split between Biden and Brown.

Once again, Florida is too close to call and is right now being lead by Castro who has a little over 1,000 vote lead.

[terp40hitch]

Marc Caputo: Welcome back to Politico's live coverage of the 2020 primary election, with it being 7:30 pm we have more results in two key states of Ohio and North Carolina. In Ohio, Brown hopes to sweep his home state while his competitors are hoping to close the gap. In North Carolina, it is a close race between three candidates, Brown, Biden and Gillibrand with both Castro and Jeter not too far behind. Both Biden and Gillibrand received endorsements from high power North Carolina politicians, we will have to see how that sways the results tonight, let's take a look:

North Carolina Primary Results (0.3%)

Kristen Gillibrand: 25%

Joe Biden: 23%

Sherrod Brown: 21%

Joaquin Castro: 17%

Derek Jeter: 14%

Marc Caputo: North Carolina is too early to call with the leaders being Gillibrand, Biden, and Brown

Ohio Primary Election Results (0.5%)

Sherrod Brown: 42%

Joe Biden: 26%

Kristen Gillibrand: 15%

Derek Jeter: 7%

Joaquin Castro: 4%

Marc Caputo: Sherrod Brown has won his home state of Ohio fending off tough challenges from Biden's campaign

Florida Primary Results (7.8%)

Joaquin Castro: 25%

Kristen Gillibrand: 22%

Joe Biden: 21%

Derek Jeter: 19%

Sherrod Brown: 13%

Marc Caputo: Florida remains too close to call but Castro has opened up a lead of 2-3%. This is mostly due to him being able to lead in Miami-Dade which has hurt Jeter but Castro has a tough battle with Jeter in Palm Beach county

[terp40hitch]

Marc Caputo: We have two more important states closing, Illinois and Missouri, but we are also watching Florida where officially all areas have closed their poll. Here are the results, look closely at Illinois where it has become an even tighter than expected race between Gillibrand and Biden with Brown very closely behind at least if you believe the latest polls.

Illinois Primary Results (0.6%)

Joe Biden: 26%

Kristen Gillibrand: 25%

Sherrod Brown: 25%

Derek Jeter: 14%

Joaquin Castro: 10%

Marc Caputo: Illinois is too close to call with Biden, Gillibrand, and Brown all within one point of each other. Gillibrand put a lot of effort into the state after a close race in Michigan believing that the momentum she built in the Midwest could help her prevail in Illinois. Still, Brown believes he has strong support in rural areas and in around the cities while Biden's campaign Illinois communtian director told me that they saw a surge in support in Chicago area which they believe will give them the victory.

Missouri Primary Results (0.2%)

Sherrod Brown: 29%

Derek Jeter: 22%

Joe Biden: 21%

Kristen Gillibrand: 15%

Joaquin Castro: 13%

Marc Caputo: Missouri has Brown in the lead but with our exit poll results, we believe that this race is too close to call. Now let's take a look at already closed polls in North Carolina, Ohio and Florida.

North Carolina Primary Results (4.6%)

Joe Biden: 25%

Kristen Gillibrand: 24%

Sherrod Brown: 22%

Joaquin Castro: 15%

Derek Jeter: 14%

Marc Caputo: North Carolina has become too close to call which is a change from too early to call

Ohio Primary Election Results (6.9%)

Sherrod Brown: 45%

Joe Biden: 24%

Kristen Gillibrand: 15%

Derek Jeter: 8%

Joaquin Castro: 2%

Florida Primary Results (15.6%)

Joaquin Castro: 22%

Joe Biden: 21%

Derek Jeter: 21%

Kristen Gillibrand: 19%

Sherrod Brown: 17%

Marc Caputo: With all polls closed, Florida remains in the too close to call column with a surge in Jeter and Brown votes which have made this primary a close five-way race. I just talked to the Brown state chairmen who earlier told me he doesn't see victory for Brown but that has changed. Now he is telling me that once all the votes are counted it could be a close race between the five candidates. Castro's advisors have also said that though the race is closer now they believe that they built up enough of a lead in the southern Florida area that they will win especially with a 3% lead right now in Miami-Dade County over Jeter.

[terp40hitch]

Marc Caputo: It is 9:00 pm on the eastern coast and we have another set of poll closings:

Arizona Primary Results (0.8%)

Joaquin Castro: 35%

Joe Biden: 24%

Sherrod Brown: 21%

Kristen Gillibrand: 16%

Derek Jeter: 4%

Marc Caputo: Even after an embarrassing week in Arizona, Castro was able to win in Arizona. Now let's look at the states that have polls that have already closed.

Missouri Primary Results (17.9%)

Sherrod Brown: 30%

Derek Jeter: 23%

Joe Biden: 20%

Kristen Gillibrand: 16%

Joaquin Castro: 11%

Marc Caputo: Brown has won Missouri over Jeter who is still just 7% below Brown

North Carolina Primary Results (27.4%)

Kristen Gillibrand: 24%

Joe Biden: 24%

Sherrod Brown: 24%

Joaquin Castro: 16%

Derek Jeter: 12%

Ohio Primary Election Results (31.4%)

Sherrod Brown: 48%

Joe Biden: 22%

Kristen Gillibrand: 15%

Derek Jeter: 6%

Joaquin Castro: 3%

Florida Primary Results (36.2%)

Derek Jeter: 21%

Joaquin Castro: 21%

Joe Biden: 20%

Kristen Gillibrand: 20%

Sherrod Brown: 17%

Marc Caputo: Jeter has just barely pulled a lead over Castro in Florida but it is still too close to call. This is a five-way race and it is going to be a race we watch throughout the night. Now let's closer at the Illinois race

Illinois Primary Results (12.4%)

Sherrod Brown: 25%

Kristen Gillibrand: 24%

Joe Biden: 24%

Derek Jeter: 15%

Joaquin Castro: 12%

Marc Caputo: Brown has started to pull the lead over Gillibrand and Biden but it is still within one percent. Jeter and Castro also are pulling higher than expected but Castro is still 3% under 15%. Now let's look closer at the results:

Marc Caputo: First, I am bringing up the results of the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial primary. On the left, it is a map of Chicago while the right is the statewide results. First, let's look at Brown's chances at winning the state. Brown needs to win in the rural areas around the border of Missouri and Indiana but he can't just win that he also needs to win around the suburban areas around Springfield and Chicago. Brown needs to win Kennedy's area in 2018 plus flip some of the Rauner leaning counties. If Brown is able to carry the rural, more conservative counties plus run up the numbers around the city areas even if Biden or Gillibrand, in the end, wins those cities then Brown will win.

Second right now is Gillibrand. Gillibrand has run a very good campaign in Illinois after a very close loss in Michigan. So far, Gillibrand has been only able to win in the northeast but she hopes to expand her terrorirty. Gillibrand is leading Biden by exactly 671 and is just behind Brown by 1,294 votes which are very close for someone that was running the third place in the last few polls but her campaign staff is very confident and her campaign manager has just released a statement that says that Gillibrand will be able to pull through if their math is correct. Gillibrand will have to pull Biden's numbers down in Chicago and win over a lot of the former Pritzker areas and she needs to at least get second or a close third in African-American vote. Gillibrand also has to, has to win Springfield and the surrounding areas around it or she will end up in Second or third.

Third is Biden who has the endorsement of powerful Illinois former and current politicians making him the establishment choice which could help him win with his strong backing of the African-American vote and establishment vote. This Illinois primary also is starting again a battle between Clinton and the Obama faction of the party. Biden is the Obama backed candidate, Gillibrand is the Clinton backed candidate and Brown is the anti-estblishment candidate. Biden needs to win big in Chicago around 10% and do well in Springfield even if he loses by a little to Gillibrand. If he doesn't do that then it won't be deadly but it will force Biden to reorginzie in a more Biden friendly area away from the midwest like out west.

Both Jeter and Castro have little chance in Illinois but the goal for them is 15%
