Biden Scores 'Super Tuesday' Surge, but Sanders Wins Top Prize as Dems Vie for 1,300+ Delegates in 14 States

News Staff : Mar 4, 2020  CBN News

As we've seen over the past few years, Virginia is beginning to turn bluer mainly because of the Democrats' strength in urban areas and the northern Virginia suburbs outside of Washington, DC.

Biden opened the evening with a trio of victories in key Southern states, building on the momentum that has swiftly revived his Democratic presidential campaign in recent days. But it looks like Sen. Bernie Sanders was also a big winner.

Sanders grabbed a win in home-state Vermont, Colorado, and Utah. But the Associated Press and other media outlets are also projecting Sanders to win the night's biggest prize—California with its 415 delegates.

Biden took Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Minnesota and the battleground states of North Carolina and Virginia. Some states aren't winner-take-all though when it comes to the delegate count.

Even though it was a tight-race in Sen. Elizabeth Warren's home state of Massachusetts, Biden edged out Warren and Sanders to claim victory.

The wins in some heavily African American southern states complemented the former vice president's victory in last weekend's South Carolina primary. Virginia was especially key because Sanders and billionaire former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg heavily contested it over the past week.

Super Tuesday includes presidential primaries in delegate-rich states like California, Texas, North Carolina and Virginia which add up to more than 850 delegates alone.

After Tuesday's vote totals, nearly 40 percent of the total delegates will be awarded to the winners.

It will also mark the first major security test since the 2018 midterm elections. State and local officials say they are prepared to deal with everything from equipment problems to false information about the coronavirus.

But unlike the Iowa caucuses, which were run by state parties, state and local election officials will be administering Tuesday's elections in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia.

As we've seen over the past few years, Virginia is beginning to turn bluer mainly because of the Democrats' strength in urban areas and the northern Virginia suburbs outside of Washington, DC.

In Virginia Beach, which tends to vote Republican, CBN News saw light turnout. Virginia also has an open primary, meaning any registered voter can vote regardless of their party registration.

A candidate needs 1,991 votes from the respective delegates to secure the Democratic Party nomination.
