This Morning from CBS News, May 4, 2016

November cometh

Welcome to the 2016 general election. Indiana's primary night undoubtedly ushered in a new phase of the presidential contest. The Republican race is effectively over and, while Bernie Sanders scored a victory in the state, Donald Trump made his path forward clear to supporters: "We're going after Hillary Clinton."

Diehard

Despite a third place finish in Indiana, Ohio Governor John Kasich is vowing to continue his campaign "as long as it remains possible." In a memo, Kasich's senior strategist John Weaver asserted that Kasich will remain in the race, offering Republican voters "a clear choice for our country."

Self-sufficiency

CBS News was invited into North Korea to cover the isolated communist state's looming political theater. But first, with rumors swirling of a possible new nuclear or missile test, the regime was keen to show off its softer side and show how it's marching on in spite of U.S. "criminality."

Deadly mistakes

A new study says more than 250,000 Americans die each year due to medical errors, making such fatal mishaps the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. CBS News talks to an expert about the kinds of things that can go wrong, and what can be done to reduce the problem.

Looming disasters

As Puerto Rico teeters on the edge of economic chaos, a number of U.S. states are also grappling with their own debt crises. And in these cases, there will be no federal fix -- only hard choices, with some experts describing the fiscal problems in parts of the country as the worst in memory.

Little Miss Flint

President Obama will make his first trip to Flint, Michigan, today to address the city's water crisis. Mari Copeny, an 8-year-old Flint girl who heard back from the president after writing him a letter on the topic, is hoping to meet Mr. Obama. She tells us about her correspondence with the commander in chief.

So Tasty

Buzzfeed's "Tasty" video series has only been around since last summer, but it already has more than 53 million likes on Facebook. So what's behind the digital sensation? Only on "CBS This Morning," we go behind-the-scenes with the team killing it in the social media kitchen.
