Joe Biden wins in most states on Super Tuesday

Former US Vice President Joe Biden won Democratic primaries in most states voting in the so-called Super Tuesday. His only serious rival in the fight is Senator Bernie Sanders, who won the primaries in California.

Only after counting votes from all 14 states from Super Tuesday will we know how many candidates are competing for the Democrats’ nomination. There are many indications that the fight for the nomination will take place between Biden and Sanders.

Despite spending over half a billion dollars on the campaign, Michael Bloomberg probably won’t be able to win in any of the major states. The former mayor of New York won only in the primaries in American Samoa.

Democrats will eventually nominate their presidential candidate at a national convention in July.

The US presidential election will take place on November 3. For Republicans, the nomination is a formality – they will certainly support the incumbent president. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump, who in fact has no in-house competitor, received the support of delegates from other states.
