President Joe Biden has secured 15 major Democratic wins so far on Super Tuesday in Iowa, Virginia, Vermont, North Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Maine, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Utah, and California.
Meanwhile, former president Donald Trump gained 12 victories in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Alabama, Maine, Arkansas, Texas, Massachusetts, Colorado, Minnesota, and California’s Republican primaries.
Elections are being held on Super Tuesday in 16 states and one territory – from Alaska and California to Vermont and Virginia. Hundreds of delegates are at stake, the biggest haul for either party on any single day.
Both Biden and former President Donald Trump are poised to move much closer to winning their parties’ nominations on Tuesday.
The earliest either can become his party’s presumptive nominee is March 12 for Trump and March 19 for Biden. But in a departure from most previous Super Tuesdays, both nominations are effectively settled, with Biden and Trump both looking ahead to a reprise of the 2020 general election.
