The results of Super Tuesday

Tuesday was the most important day of the Democratic Primary elections, as fourteen different states had citizens gathering to vote for their preferred candidate.

Approximately one-third of all U.S. delegates gathered to declare support for their choice in nominee, most of which was won by frontrunner and former Vice President, Joe Biden.

However, several candidates decided to suspend their campaigns in the wake of defeat, including Mike Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar, all of whom endorsed Biden upon their departure. Biden, who had been gradually losing support over the past month, won the majority of delegates in nine states, a victory unpredicted by current political pundits. Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont, the second most-successful of the remaining candidates, suffered substantial losses in states originally thought to favor him, such as Maine and Texas.

His failure is likely associated with his radical political plans, as several delegates found themselves uneasy with the idea of Sanders debating presidential incumbent, Donald J. Trump. While many agree with Sanders’ principles in theory, they feel he is too radical and Americans need “an evolution not a revolution” as Bloomberg put it.

Those trailing behind yet still considered in the race include Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts, and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii.

Although the aforementioned individuals have not yet suspended their campaigns, it appears the nominee will either be Sanders or Biden.
