SUPER TUESDAY: Biden Wins Big, Bernie Fights On And Trump Waits

Despite the Coronavirus fears and extreme weather conditions, the American voters from 14 states and one territory, made their way to polling stations to choose a presidential nominee for the democratic party.

NBC News has reported that as the polls closed on Super Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden won in Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Minnesota, and Massachusetts.

Bernie Sanders has come out on top in Colorado, California, Utah, and his home state of Vermont. 

While President Trump has repeatedly claimed that he does not care who the Democratic nominee is, Super Tuesday did bring bad news for the president: a strong potential competitor who has a significant bi-partisan appeal. Joe Biden, proved his mettle Tuesday night among essential groups of voters needed to win the general election, with the former vice president claiming reliable support from black and suburban voters.

The night also delivered some good news for the president and his team: the reality that the Democratic contest is far from over. Bernie Sanders’ progressive movement shows no signs of coalescing behind the establishment pick — meaning weeks, if not months, of potential party infighting.

Trump’s advisers have long stated their best-case scenario wasn’t one clear leading candidate emerging, but rather a drawn-out nominating process that would divide the Democratic party. With Sanders and Biden now in a clear two-person race, that scenario seemed likely.
