So, here are the stakes today. Fourteen states from across the country are voting. Each state has its particular demographic; however, it was assumed before the weekend, that Bernie Sanders would win big today, especially in the big one - California, where there are more than 400 delegates available. Since Joe Biden's big win in South Carolina on Saturday; however, the picture has changed quite a bit. Three candidates - Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Steyer - have dropped out, leaving the moderate lane more open for Biden. He's also picked up some key endorsements from Pete, Amy and Beto O'Rourke.
So, the big question tonight is whether Sanders can build an unassailable lead in the delegate count, mainly through big wins in states such as California, Colorado and Massachusetts. Or can Biden pick up enough delegates in Southern states to keep up with him. A 200+ delegate lead by the end of the night for Sanders would make it difficult for Biden to catch up with the contests that are left on the table. Less than 200 and Biden could catch him and a brokered convention would be more likely.
Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg appears on primary voting ballots for the first time today and it’s make or break for him. After Biden’s overnight surge of support from his South Carolina result, Bloomberg’s billions could end up counting for very little in his personal race. At best, Bloomberg is likely just to be a spoiler for Biden today, nicking off some delegates that Biden might have won.
It's also a big night for Elizabeth Warren, who has performed badly in the first four contests. If she loses badly again tonight, especially in her home state of Massachusetts, as the polls are predicting, the pressure for her to drop out and endorse Sanders will be enormous.
Good Afternoon, Bob. Elizabeth and I voted early . It seems as if it's between Biden and Sanders. Despite all Bloomberg's ads , I don't see him stranding a chance of being nominated. By tonight we should have a clear idea as to who will be the front runner, unless , as you stated it's too close to call and comes down to the convention
I haver a busy evening of tutoring, so I'm not sure if I will be around for the results.I might be able too join you for the tail end of the coverage.
California Senator Kamala Harris, who dropped out of the presidential race in early December, is apparently ready to endorse Joe Biden today. This is a long way from last summer when Harris attacked Biden for supporting segregationists.
Settling in to watch the returns now. Early wins for Biden in the Southeast - VA, NC and AL.
A win for Sanders in his adopted home VT.
Sanders has won Colorado now.
Biden has won Minnesota. That was one that supposed to go to Klobuchar and now she's tipped it to the guy that she's endorsed.
It's a Super Tuesday for Biden as he appears to be the front runner for the Democratic Party.Sanders is still in the race while it's time for Warren and Bloomberg to drop outpaced on the Tuesday results at the polls.
