CBS’ Cordes: Clinton Held Star Studded Fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall

‘Hillary Clinton mixed business with pleasure’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

ROSE: “Hillary Clinton held a star-studded fund-raiser last night in New York city. Clinton is now turning her attention to November as Bernie Sanders tries to catch up. Nancy Cordes is with us in studio 57 covering the Democratic race. Nancy, good morning.”
CORDES: “Good morning. Hillary Clinton is leading in four big states that are voting later this month — Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Florida. As the Clinton Campaign helpfully pointed out yesterday she is leading sanders by a larger margin in the delegate count than President Obama ever had over her in 2008.”

CORDES (voice-over): “At radio music city hall last night, Hillary Clinton mixed business with pleasure.”
CLINTON: “We have a sold-out crowd.”
CORDES (voice-over): “Raising tens of thousands from supporters and paid to hear Katy Perry and Elton John, among others.”
ELTON JOHN: “This is a very important year for America and she is the only hope you have.”
CORDES (voice-over): “There are still 35 primaries and caucuses to go. But as Clinton pulls ahead in the delegate count, she and her backers are focusing increasingly on the general election.”
CLINTON: “Labor will always have a seat at the table when I’m in the White House!”
CORDES (voice-over): “At a union rally in Manhattan, Andrew Cuomo mocked the Trump’s talking about the wall. In Michigan, the GOP front-runner was on Bernie Sanders’ mind too.”
SANDERS: “All of the major polls that have come out have me beating Donald Trump.”
CORDES (voice-over): “Sanders won four states on Super Tuesday and his aides say he has a shot at winning four more the next few weeks. Clinton aides argue that is not enough. In a memo, her campaign manager said that in order to catch up, senator sanders doesn’t just have to start winning a few states, but he needs to start winning everywhere and by large margins. Sanders was singing a different tune.”
SANDERS: “Colorado, we took on the establishment there, we won by 19 points.”

CORDES: “‘The Washington Post’ reports that the justice department has granted immunity to the former State Department staffer who worked on Clinton’s private e-mail server when she was secretary of state. A sign this investigation may be moving forward.” 
O’DONNEL: “Nancy, thank you so much.”
