Joe Biden wins Alabama, continuing his Southern streak with his third victory of Super Tuesday
Joe Biden’s blowout in South Carolina, it turns out, was no fluke.
Part of Biden’s advantage was among African American voters, which helped his performance across southern states. Larry Sabato, the director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said Bloomberg might not even clear the 15% threshold to secure any delegates in the state – a potential “embarrassment,” he wrote on Twitter.
The former New York City mayor was projected to win the territory of American Samoa, his first win of the night that will award him at least four pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention.Joe Biden continued his surge in the Southern states on Tuesday, racking up another victory in Alabama after he was earlier declared the winner in North Carolina, which has 110 delegates on offer, and Virginia, which has 99 delegates.
Bloomberg, a billionaire philanthropist and businessman, has been attempting to run in the same political lane as Biden, as a centrist, while touting his background as a government technocrat. Biden put a dent in that pitch last week with his blowout win in South Carolina, buoyed by heavy support from black voters.Former Vice President Joe Biden beat Sen.
The extension will also likely mean the delay of official results in the state's primary until 8:10 p.m. It's not clear whether cable news networks will announce projections or hold off until polls close. During his 2016 run, Sanders won the state by a wide margin – 86% to Hillary Clinton’s 13% – and took all of the state’s delegates.Earlier Tuesday, Sanders cast his ballot in Burlington, Vt."To beat Donald Trump, we are going to need to have the largest voter turnout in the history of this country," Sanders told reporters."We need energy. We need excitement. I think our campaign is that campaign.
In 2016, the state favored Hillary Clinton over Sanders. Clinton chose Sen. Tim Kaine, who endorsed Biden, as her running mate, and many other prominent Democrats in the state, like former Gov Terry McAuliffe, backed the former vice president.First up on this Super Tuesday: Vermont and Virginia.Results will take hours to come in, and sometimes projections will as well. But in other instances, the winner could be called quickly.
In California, 30% of voters approved of Bloomberg, whereas 60% disapproved. 38% approved of him in Virginia, but 58% disapproved. And in Colorado, 41% approved, whereas 52% disapproved. Bloomberg did not compete in the first four states. He’s acknowledged that the best he can do is get a plurality – not a majority – of delegates. If no candidates gets a majority during the nominating contests, the winner will be determined at the convention.Maureen GroppeST. PAUL, Minn. – The day after their home-state senator ended her presidential bid, many Minnesotans said they were scrambling to reassess the field as they headed to the polls on Super Tuesday.
A Star Tribune/MPR News Minnesota Poll conducted Feb. 17-20 showed Klobuchar leading the field with 29% to U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' 23%. And Klobuchar’s communications director, Tim Hogan, tweeted Monday that the campaign’s internal polling pegged her support at 32% over Sanders’ at 19%.A Davidson County judge Tuesday afternoon ruled that Tennessee polls can remain open until 8 p.m. CT at all sites across Nashville.
“It is critical that all voters be provided a fair and full opportunity to vote,” Clarke said. “That is not possible for people in those parts of Tennessee that have been devastated by the tornado.”In progressive area of Northern Virginia, it’s mostly Sanders or Warren — and definitely not Trump Most voters who spoke with USA TODAY at the polling location in the suburb of Washington, D.C., supported Sanders or Warren, but Biden still had a strong support. One voter, who didn’t give her name, learned from a reporter after she had already voted that the candidate she backed, Buttigieg, dropped out over the weekend.
President Donald Trump happily weighed in on Democratic race throughout this Super Tuesday – even during a coronavirus briefing at the National Institutes of Health. Trump also said he doesn't care who the Democrats put up against it:"I'll take anybody I have to. That's the way it is going to work. Doesn't matter."
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., declined to characterize the impact that Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders would have on Congress, but he told reporters Tuesday that House leaders hoped to expand their Democratic majority in the fall.
