HE IS AT THE BIG BOARD. STEVE, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING IN TONIGHT'S RESULTS? >> OKAY, A COUPLE BIG STORY LINES HERE ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, WHERE TO WATCH. TONIGHT, I WILL START ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE HERE, BECAUSE THE QUESTION IS, IS DONALD TRUMP CLEARLY HAD A BIG ADVANTAGE? HOW WELL CAN NIKKI HALEY DO HERE? COULD SHE HIT THAT 40% NUMBER SHE GOT IN SOUTH ATLANTA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE? IF SHE DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE TO LOOK FOR IT MOST IS RIGHT IN THIS AREA, KENT COUNTY WHERE GRAND RAPIDS IS. THAT'S WHERE HOLLAND IS. AND THERE IS A REGION HERE THAT COMBINED MAKES UP ABOUT 17% OF ALL THE REPUBLICAN VOTES, THAT IS ABOUT ONE OUT OF EVERY SIX. WHAT MAKES THIS REGION SO UNIQUE TO WATCH, TO SEE HOW HALEY IS DOING, THIS IS THE MOST TRUMP RESISTANT PORTION OF THE STATE IN THE 2015 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY. IT IS A TRADITIONALLY REPUBLICAN AND CONSERVATIVE AREA, BUT IN 2016, WHEN TRUMP WAS RUNNING THE IRST TIME, HE GOT 37% OF THE VOTE IN THE MICHIGAN PRIMARY. NOT SO IN KENT COUNTY. IN KENT COUNTY IN 2015, HE GOT 23%. NEXT DOOR, 19%. ABOUT ALMOST HALF OF WHAT YOU GOT STATEWIDE. THIS WHOLE AREA HERE WAS A HUGE WEEK SOURCE FOR DONALD TRUMP IN 2016. IS IT AGAIN TONIGHT? IS IT A SOURCE OF STRENGTH FOR HALEY? IN TERMS OF THE DEMOCRATIC RACE HERE, CALL THAT UP ON THE SCREEN. GO BACK TO STATEWIDE HERE. THE STORY LINE HERE IS BIDEN. THIS IS WHAT WORRIES THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN, UNCOMMITTED ACTIVISTS WHO OPPOSED BIDEN'S POLICY ON ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR ARE ENCOURAGING DEMOCRATS TO VOTE UNCOMMITTED AS A PROTEST TO JOE BIDEN. IF IT IS GETTING ANY TRACTION TONIGHT, WE CAN LOOK IN TWO BIG CASES FOR IT. WAYNE COUNTY. AND THE CITY OF DEARBORN, MICHIGAN. WITH OVER 100,000 RESIDENTS, IT IS MAJORITY ARAB-AMERICAN, HAS THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF MUSLIM AMERICANS PER CAPITA OF ANY CITY IN THE COUNTRY. SO, TAKE A LOOK AT WAYNE COUNTY, AND IN PARTICULAR DEARBORN TO SEE THE UNCOMMITTED. ALSO, NEXT DOOR, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY, WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF ACTIVATION ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES AGAINST JOE BIDEN'S POLICY ON ISRAEL AND HAMAS. WE HAVE CERTAINLY SEEN POLLING THAT SHOWS YOUNGER, COLLEGE-AGE VOTERS, ARE MOST OPPOSED TO THAT POLICY. LOOK IN THIS COUNTY TO SEE IF THAT SEGMENT OF VOTERS IS
