ANNOUNCER: This is NEW DAY with Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota.

CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: Good morning. Welcome to your NEW DAY. It's Wednesday, May 11, 6 a.m. in the east. J.B. is also with Alisyn and me this morning, and we have some big winners for you that John's going to tell you about.

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders winning last night's primary contest. Sanders beating Hillary Clinton in West Virginia, a state she won eight years ago. Sanders' victory is not going to mean that much in terms of delegate

math, but it does prolong the nomination fight, and also points at what could happen in a matchup between Clinton and Trump, who hammered Clinton in West Virginia, framing her thoughts about coal miners.

ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: OK. So on the Republican side, Trump was the last man standing, and he easily won in West Virginia and Nebraska. Now the focus remains on his big meeting tomorrow with House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Trump's former rivals, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, back in the spotlight and speaking out.

We've got the 2016 race covered the way only CNN can. So let's begin with John Berman, breaking down last night's results and the delegate count. What do you have, John?

BERMAN: Good morning, Alisyn. Well, Donald Trump finished first in a one-man race. Look what happened in West Virginia over here: Donald Trump gets 76 percent of the vote there. In Nebraska, he got 61 percent of the vote. Of course, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, they have dropped out.

On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders with a big win in West Virginia. The only states voting for the Democrats, 15 points, but what does that mean in terms of delegates? Not a heck of a lot.

Bernie Sanders, you can see, 16, Hillary Clinton 11. That is a net gain of just 5, despite the big, big win there.

As for the Republicans, the delegate math, you can see Donald Trump will win at least 39 delegates. That number will nearly double once West Virginia works out its entire convoluted delegate process. That will happen in the coming weeks. Look at the total delegate numbers right here: Donald Trump at 1,119, marching ever closer to the 1,237 he needs to win the nomination. That's now a foregone conclusion with the others out of the race.

And as for the Democrats, still over here, Hillary Clinton, she is now 148 away from the need she -- from the number she needs to get a majority that does include the super delegates. But, again, this will come down to super delegates. Now the overwhelming majority of them say they will support Hillary Clinton -- Alisyn.

CAMEROTA: OK. Thanks so much for that, John.

Donald Trump easily winning in Nebraska and West Virginia, but the political spotlight remains focused on tomorrow's meeting between Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan, and what Trump's former rivals are now saying about him.

CNN's Sunlen Serfaty is live in Washington with the latest.

Hi, Sunlen.

SUNLEN SERFATY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning to you, Alisyn.

Well, this is such an important morning for Donald Trump. He became the presumptive nominee with only a small group of support on Capitol Hill. So now, as he's working to unify the party around him, he's preparing tomorrow to make a very direct face-to-face appeal to Republican leaders on Capitol Hill.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

SERFATY (voice-over): Days before their big meeting, Donald Trump softening his tone and sounding more conciliatory about House Speaker Paul Ryan's role at the Republican National Convention.

TRUMP: He's a very good man. He wants what's good for the party. And I think we're going to have very positive results.

BILL O'REILLY, FOX NEWS: You said...

TRUMP: And I would love, frankly, for him to stay and be chairman.

SERFATY: Responding to Ryan's assurance that he would step down as chairman if Trump wanted him to.

RYAN: We shouldn't just pretend that our party is unified when we know it is not.

SERFATY: In an interview with the "Wall Street Journal" Ryan said he hopes they can unify the party after a bruising primary battle.

RYAN: What we want to do is sit down together and talk about how we can unify the Republican Party so that we can be at full strength in the fall.

SERFATY: Trump also in the throes of preparing for the general election, narrowing down his potential list of running mates. One person definitely not interested in the job, former rival Marco Rubio. In his first interview since dropping out of the race, the senator telling CNN's Jake Tapper...

RUBIO: My differences with Donald, both my reservations about his campaign and my policy differences with him, are well-documented; and they remain.

SERFATY: Rubio signaling that his support of Trump is a matter of honoring his word.

RUBIO: I've signed a pledge that said I'd support the Republican nominee, and I intend to continue to do that.

SERFATY: And Trump's fiercest formal rival, Senator Ted Cruz, returning to Capitol Hill leaving the window open for possibly jumping back into the race.

CRUZ: We've suspended the campaign, because I see no viable path to victory. Of course, if that changed, we would reconsider things.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

SERFATY: And Cruz was peppered with questions as he has since he has suspended his campaign last week if he would throw his support behind Donald Trump. And Cruz, well, he continues to play it very coy. He refused to answer the question outright, saying there are 2.5 months until the Republican convention. Chris, he says that's plenty of time for himself and voters to make up their mind.

CUOMO: Is it enough time for people to forget that you called someone the worst person in the world before you endorse them? That's -- that's the tricky calculus there. Sunlen Serfaty, thank you very much.

All right. So on the other side of the ball, Bernie Sanders winning his 19th state against Hillary Clinton last night. That would be West Virginia. Now, he says, "I am in it to win it." But there are new concerns in the Democratic Party.

Donald Trump is starting to parrot Sanders' points against Clinton. So what is Sanders now saying about unifying the party in the face of these developments?

CNN correspondent Chris Frates live in Washington with more. What do you have, my brother?

CHRIS FRATES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Chris.

Well, Bernie Sanders had another good primary night last night, winning the majority of the 29 delegates up for grabs in West Virginia, but Sanders still faces long odds to upset Hillary Clinton, who leads him by about 300 pledged delegates.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SANDERS: We are good at arithmetic that we have an uphill climb ahead of us, but we are used to fighting uphill climbs!

(END VIDEO CLIP)

FRATES: Now, a campaign aide tells me they think Sanders can beat the odds by wrapping up more big victories and convincing the party's super delegates that he has the best chance of defeating Donald Trump in the fall, and a recent poll shows Sanders fares better than Clinton in a general election matchup against Trump in three battleground states.

But that didn't stop Vice President Joe Biden from putting his finger on the scale yesterday for Secretary Clinton.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

[06:05:05] BIDEN: I feel confident that Hillary will be the nominee, and I feel confident she'll be the next president.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BIDEN: Now, Clinton plans to campaign hard against Sanders in upcoming contests, focusing on New Jersey and California, but she will also continue looking toward November by taking on Donald Trump. And Sanders, well, he also slammed Trump in his victory speech. So

even as Clinton and Sanders continue to run against each other, they're increasingly targeting Trump.

Chris, Alisyn, back to you.

CAMEROTA: Thanks, Chris.

CUOMO: Appreciate it, bud.

All right. Let's talk about the Democrats, but let's start with the state of play on the Republican side. CNN Politics executive editor Mark Preston; CNN political commentator and political anchor of Time Warner Cable News, Errol Louis; political analyst and host of the estimable "David Gregory Show" podcast, David Gregory himself.

And we start with you. On the Republican side of the ball, John was joking. He was like, Trump won in a one-man race. You did see the other two candidates get votes but not in any significant way. What does this mean for him now heading into tomorrow? Because you're the one who pointed out yesterday, David, that poll from Quinnipiac should matter for that meeting tomorrow.

DAVID GREGORY, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST: Yes, it should matter. Look, you have Trump, consolidating more and more of the party as he continues to get closer to going over the top of 1,237, winning big in these states. Now it's, you know a cleared field for him to do that.

But, again, he represents the Republican Party in 2016. He is out there winning a historic number of votes in the Republican Party. And the House leadership -- Paul Ryan is the speaker -- certainly understands that and needs to respect that.

But Ryan, too, has his own constituency, has his own sense of honor within the party in terms of upholding conservative principles. And I think, at the very least, he wants to kind of negotiate the terms of what his endorsement would look like for his own sake and for those people that he represents.

CAMEROTA: A lot has changed, Errol, in just the past 24 hours, as it seems to in this campaign cycle so much.

So Donald Trump has said that he would consider having Paul Ryan removed as the chair of the convention if Ryan didn't get behind him. Paul -- Paul Ryan said, "Yes, the frontrunner doesn't want me, I'm happy to step aside."

Then yesterday, everything changed. Hard to know why, but here's what Donald Trump said about Paul Ryan being the chair now. Let's do this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: He's a very good man. He wants what's good for the party, and I think we're going to have very positive results.

O'REILLY: But you said... TRUMP: ... frankly, for him to stay and be chairman.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CAMEROTA: I'd love for him to be chairman, he said last night.

ERROL LOUIS, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Oh, I'm sure he would.

CAMEROTA: So how's all this changing?

LOUIS: Well, I mean, look, in this dance that's going on between them, you've got, I mean, very much as David just suggested, you've got a Paul Ryan, who in addition to wanting to keep his 30-seat majority in the House, which is the only reason he is the speaker of the House, in addition to that, he really believes in some of these principles. Limited government, fiscal responsibility, free trade, free market. He's got to sort of square that circle with Donald Trump, who, just based on his entire campaign, not just a statement here and there, it's not clear whether they're on the same page on any of those issues.

And so they really have very serious kind of conversations. I think Trump, for his part, realizes he's got to sort of fit himself into that, too. He's got to make peace with these people who believe certain things, who wanted different things, and yes, you can say he's got 10 million jokes, mind you, but you've still got to get the rest of that party to sort of, you know, understand or at least embrace you, because there are a fair number of people who are walking away. Paul Ryan was talking about saying, you know, "I won't chair the convention if he doesn't want me to." He could be one of those people, too.

CUOMO: Are you hearing that, Mark Preston? That the Trump team does not want to lose Ryan. That they see him as someone to cultivate as a relationship and to show that they're not going to bully their way into the party and make it about them. That they're willing to work with the team.

MARK PRESTON, CNN POLITICS EXECUTIVE EDITOR: Right, and it doesn't help to bully the party. The Trump folks will tell you that they brought all these new people into the process. Guess what? You're not going to win the election unless you can build your base, right? You keep your base strong.

From there, that's when you bring the new people in, and you build on top of it. And then hopefully, pull some independents over, and that's how you beat Hillary Clinton, come you know, November. If you lose your base, it's basically like building a house. You haven't dug out the basement, then you can't build a first or a second floor.

So you know, look, I think that they're smart to say that they want Ryan to cheer the convention. He's actually very well-liked in Republican circles. He's also an establishment Republican. And look, we'll see what happens in tomorrow's meeting, but in the end, I'm pretty sure that Paul Ryan's going to chair this convention.

CAMEROTA: David, speaking -- go ahead, David.

GREGORY: I just want to add this other thing. Let's remember, Paul Ryan is not an adversary in this primary fight that Donald Trump, using his own language, can just take out. He is the head of a co- equal branch of government as the speaker of the House.

So there's certainly the complaints within the Trump campaign that I've heard, that Ryan, like other establishment Republicans, are still in denial about what Trump represents in the party. But he's somebody with whom he wants to do business. It would make life a lot easier for Trump if he kept him in the fold.

[06:10:09] CUOMO: He may be able to check another box with Ryan, too. Because some of the things -- I'm sure we're all talking to the same kinds of people -- is that Paul Ryan took some pause with what happened with David Duke and what happened with -- whether that campaign, the Trump campaign was rejecting that idea of having that type of support quickly enough.

So, Errol, if you go into that meeting as Donald Trump tomorrow and say, "Look, by the way, I don't want a white nationalist. I know what just happened with the delegate. That was a mistake. It's not a coincidence; I'm not that guy."

If Paul Ryan comes out of that meeting putting his arms around Donald Trump, how much can that help?

LOUIS: Well, I mean, if they get an agreement, if that happens, that would be lovely. And if Donald Trump abides by that agreement. But this has been a recurring. I mean, Paul Ryan came out with some very -- you know, his first statements about this, he said, "Look, we can not have a nominee who doesn't seriously reject these nationalists for one thing and who doesn't, you know, sort of try to bring the party together."

So, you know, Donald Trump, he has made, time after time, statements saying that "I'm a negotiator. Everything's up for grabs. You know, some days I'm here. Some days I'm there." If he comes out of this with maybe a different approach, where, you know, there's an agreement that's going to be binding, it's going to be lasting, he does run the risk, as Mark suggests, of alienating part of his base. That's a political calculation the Trump team is going to have to make.

PRESTON: There was a mistake last week, and we talked about it last week, is that Paul Ryan came out, made the statement and Donald Trump immediately went after Paul Ryan.

Donald Trump could have come out and said, "I agree with Paul Ryan. We need to unify the party. I'm not going to agree with Paul Ryan on every issue, but I am going to agree with him on several issues, and we're going to pull this together."

CAMEROTA: What Donald Trump are you talking about? That's not his style.

CUOMO: Donald says he's flexible. He says he's going to change. PRESTON: As Errol says, he's a negotiator, he understands business.

And that would have been a smart business move. Yes, we've seen yesterday that he's embracing Paul Ryan before this meeting. It's a smart strategy.

CAMEROTA: We predicted yesterday that they are going to mend fences. They're not going to go in there, and it's not going to be some sort of, you know, verbal fisticuffs. They're going to mend fences, and they're going to come out with something that looks like unity. I mean, there's no other option, right?

PRESTON: I'd be surprised if they come out, actually, tomorrow, singing Kumbayas. I think they come out tomorrow and say we've made a lot of progress; we're going to continue talking.

CAMEROTA: OK, David, two formal rivals of Trump's, Rubio and Cruz, are now speaking out, and Marco Rubio has talked about will he actually support Donald Trump. So listen to what he said.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JAKE TAPPER, CNN ANCHOR Are you going to vote for him?

RUBIO: The campaign -- well, as I said, I'm going to support the Republican nominee.

TAPPER: No, you're going to abide by your pledge, but when you go into the privacy of the voting booth are you going to pull the lever?

RUBIO: I entire to support the Republican nominee, and I think that...

TAPPER: Including...

RUBIO: I'm not voting for Hillary Clinton.

TAPPER: OK.

RUBIO: I'm not throwing away my vote.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CAMEROTA: David, what do you think of that?

GREGORY: Well, it is -- this dance is so interesting. You know, we see a lot of other senators doing it, especially in they're in a tough re-election fight, which is they're not saying they'll vote for Trump. They're just saying they'll support the Republican nominee.

So, you know, Marco Rubio is doing so reluctantly. He's not going to vote for Hillary Clinton, he says. But I don't think he's happy of voting for Trump.

And again, I think this speaks to one of the challenges that Trump faces. He is the Republican Party in 2016 but not the entirety of the Republican Party. There is a Ted Cruz ring [SIC]; there is a Marco Rubio ring [SIC]. You know, if we think about the -- wing, rather. Think about the suburbs of West Virginia, where Rubio did well. Think about the suburbs, the close-in suburbs of Des Moines, Iowa, where Rubio did well.

And then you have Cruz among Christian conservatives and other wings of the Republican Party, conservative wing of the party. They represent those people, and that's part of the party that Donald Trump hasn't fully consolidated yet.

CUOMO: Many people in that party thought that Rubio was their best candidate both in this race and certainly going forward in terms of what they want the party to be.

Mark, practically, how easy is it? We had former Governor Perry on yesterday. He called him a cancer on conservatism. He said it's a carnival act, you know, what his campaign is. Now he's going to say, "I like the guy?" I mean, even for politicians, this isn't easy, especially for Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio begging people to see this guy as a charlatan. How do you make that move? You've got to go, just for party loyalty.

RUBIO: And the Rubio comment, too, about how he was unhinged, and he questioned his ability to have the nuclear codes. But then said, "You know what? I'm going to stand by my pledge, you know, to the RNC."

And one of the leading magazines, conservative magazines, "Weekly Standard," came out late yesterday afternoon, early evening last night, critical of Marco Rubio for not standing by his moral convictions of opposing Donald Trump. So, you know, in the end I think that that hurts Rubio.

CAMEROTA: There's lots of schizophrenic things being said on both sides.

Gentlemen, thank you. Stick around. We do want to talk about what's going on, on the Democratic side next -- John.

BERMAN: All right. Another win for Bernie Sanders. His 19th. How do we know? Because he keeps on tells us.

[06:15:05] But what does it mean in his battle against Hillary Clinton? Can he chip away at her delegate lead, and should she be concerned? Some of her supporters think she better be. That's next on NEW DAY.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SANDERS: Let me be as clear as I can be. We are in this campaign to win the Democratic nomination.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CAMEROTA: All right. That was Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders extending the Democratic primary fight after defeating Hillary Clinton in West Virginia last night. This as Vice President Joe Biden makes a prediction.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BIDEN: I feel confident that Hillary will be the nominee, and I feel confident she'll be the next president.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CAMEROTA: All right. Let's bring back our panel. Mark Preston, Errol Louis and David Gregory.

Errol, we all talked to Sanders supporters. It is so frustrating for Sanders supporters who see him winning state after state, and then the next day we sit around and say, "One day closer for Hillary Clinton to clinch the nomination."

LOUIS: Yes. You know, Sanders supporters are, of course, entitled to believe whatever they want and a lot of them think lightning could strike, that somehow he could get every single delegate, even in a proportional race.

[06:20:10] CAMEROTA: And he says that's his plan. I mean, he says his plan is, in California, to run hard, and to close the gap. And he thinks that he will get more pledged delegates. He predicts.

LOUIS: Right, right, right.

CAMEROTA: He will get more pledged delegates.

LOUIS: And then -- and he's entitled to try, obviously. You know, I mean, but Sanders supporters and really everybody else should know that when these super delegates are being tallied, it's not as if they, you know, six months ago said, "Oh, yes, I like Hillary," and that's the end of it. They're getting called by the Associated Press. They're getting called all the time. You know, it's not -- it's sort of like a poll. And it's a poll of a very limited number of people, a few hundred people. And they're saying, "Are you still with Hillary? Are you still with Hillary?" A handful of people have maybe changed sides.

CAMEROTA: Have they? Has anybody flipped that we know of?

LOUIS: Oh, yes. Not flipped, but you -- you have a number of people who have started out as Hillary Clinton supporters who are now Bernie Sanders supporters. He's gotten a couple super delegates. It's not -- it's not unheard of. You know, one of his supporters who come on here often, Nina, the former state senator from Ohio. She's, you know...

Nina Turner.

LOUIS: Yes, Nina Turner. Starts out as a Hillary Clinton supporter. Becomes a Bernie Sanders supporter. But when you hear them saying over and over again, you know, "We're with Hillary, we're with Hillary," it would be silly, at least for the media, not to -- you know, to pretend as if, oh, they might do anything at the convention. They're not just going to do anything at the convention. They're telling people week after week after week they are still with Clinton.

So yes, she is closing in on the number of delegates that she'll need to become the nominee. If he wants to force that to go to a floor vote in the convention, again, perfectly his right.

But that, too, is something that his supporters and everybody else should realize is -- you know, you can play the thing out. Ed Rendell was talking about it just the other day. You can play the thing out. You can give your speech at the convention. You can tally all the votes. You can make sure every vote is cast. He's entitled to do all of those things. But is he likely to pull this off? He's not likely. It's a long shot, as he said.

CUOMO: His not having all the yea Clinton has and many others, frankly, working within the Democratic Party going against him a little bit, also. These super delegates are not unknowns in the party. You know, you've known them for years. You've worked with them. People can judge it any way they want. They can call it rigged or just call it the experience of the party.

But Mark, what I want to ask you about is, I mean, respond that that, as well, if you want, but they are concerned about Sanders, because they're now hearing Donald Trump say, "Bernie's right. He's right about this. He's right about being cheated. He's right about this about Hillary. He's right about that about Hillary," and they're worried that he is creating a base off Sanders that's going to be hard for them to deal with. Fair point?

PRESTON: Yes. No doubt. And to the point of super delegates, it was the Clintons and the Clinton supporters who protected and preserved the super delegates after the 2008 race.

Barack Obama tried to get rid of the super delegates, and it was the Clinton supporters that made sure that the Democratic National Committee did not get rid of them.

CAMEROTA: And they're working for her. That was a good decision, right?

PRESTON: Clearly. And look, the Clintons as a whole, as -- as a couple, have been around for a very long time. And they were beloved by the party infrastructure. OK? So just to that point.

But, Chris, you are right. They are concerned about Bernie Sanders going out there and criticizing and attacking Hillary Clinton on issues that Donald Trump can just cherry pick and throw back out there.

But to the point of Bernie Sanders staying in, you know, if you look at the calendar, there are 11 more contests. OK? Bernie Sanders could win five of them pretty easily, OK? So five of the last 11. And that doesn't include California. If you give him California, he can win six.

Now, mathematically, it doesn't matter, because he's still going to win the nomination. But you don't want to go limping in with... CUOMO: That would give him more states than she had in 2008.

CAMEROTA: Wow.

CUOMO: Because she had 23. He has 19 now.

PRESTON: And she won three of the last five that year.

CAMEROTA: David, here's another thing that may be cause for concern for the Clinton camp. In the exit poll last night, Sanders, people who voted for Sanders were asked if Sanders weren't in, who would you vote for in November? Forty-three percent of them, David, say Donald Trump. Twenty-seven percent, Hillary Clinton.

GREGORY: Well, and that's in a state like West Virginia, which should be particularly alarming to Hillary Clinton, because I think it's fertile ground for Donald Trump.

Bernie Sanders is exposing the weakness of Hillary Clinton as a candidate, as a front-runner within her own party. That's been true from the beginning. He is a movement candidate who has got loyal supporters who want to see him play this out until the end and to have a real impact on the platform and even beyond.

Not necessarily somebody who would seek the presidency again but certainly somebody would who be an outsider fixture within the party. That's what I think the Clinton campaign has to worry about and I've been looking at some of the numbers. Go back to 2012. President Obama defeated Romney soundly among union voters.

Could that change this year? Look at how Sanders talks about trade; look how Trump talks about trade. There are a lot of similarities there. And is that going to be fertile ground for Donald Trump to make up in a year when he is so unpredictable in the kind of coalition he could put together against Secretary Clinton?

[06:25:05] LOUIS: You've got to be clear, though. To the extent that Hillary Clinton is trying to build on the Obama map, the Obama coalition, West Virginia was never going to be a part of that. I mean, it's not as if she needed West Virginia. First of all, it's only a handful of electoral votes. But she -- you know, to the extent that she's going to try to get, you know, people of color, young voters, women on her side. Union households.

CAMEROTA: So the idea that -- that Sanders supporters would go twice as many for Trump doesn't concern the -- I mean, in West Virginia, shouldn't concern the Clinton camp?

LOUIS: Well, the two -- the two -- I mean, look, David's partly right. They should be concerned about the sizable number, in some states, that are going to go from -- but not West Virginia.

GREGORY: I just mean it indicative of other states like that with that kind of profile.

LOUIS: Absolutely. CAMEROTA: OK. On that note, panel, thank you very much.

CUOMO: You're both right.

CAMEROTA: Great to talk to you. Let's get to John.

BERMAN: All right. New police activity at Prince's estate. What are authorities looking for there?

Plus, details being now reported about a Minnesota doctor who visited the late entertainer just the day before he died.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

CUOMO: We are following breaking news out of Baghdad. At least 64 people dead, 87 hurt in a car bombing at a market in a mainly Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City. ISIS has claimed responsibility for this attack.

We're staying on top of the story. Information is just coming in.
