IIn the race for the presidential candidacy of the US Democrats, the former US Vice President Joe Biden put an unexpected winning streak in the primaries on “Super Tuesday”. According to TV broadcaster forecasts, the moderate candidate won in 8 of the 14 states in which primaries were held on Tuesday. In the most important area code in the state of California, calculations saw the left senator Bernie Sanders in front.

Even after “Super Tuesday” everything is still open in the race for the Democratic presidential candidacy. Biden (77) won, according to forecasts from TV stations in the states of North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Arkansas and Massachusetts. Sanders, 78, predicted television wins in his home state of Vermont, Colorado, Utah, and possibly California. In California alone, 415 delegate votes will be cast – out of a total of 1,344 to be won in the “Super Tuesday” primary in 14 states.

How important is “Super Tuesday”?

Very important. On this day, the votes of 1344 delegates will be given to the Democrats – without the Democrats abroad, whose voting will take longer. To be nominated as a presidential candidate at the Democratic convention in July in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), an applicant needs 3,979 regular delegates in 1991.

So “Super Tuesday” is about the votes of more than a third of the party delegates. There are 415 delegates in California alone and 228 in Texas. In the four previous primaries (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina), a total of 155 delegate votes had already been distributed. Altogether, almost 40 percent of the delegate votes are given after the “Super Tuesdays”.

Can it be clear who will become the Democratic presidential candidate?

No. The delegate votes that will be distributed on this day are a huge chunk, but they are not the majority – apart from the fact that not a single candidate will collect all the votes to be awarded. On “Super Tuesday”, no applicant will be able to finally decide on the nomination for themselves.

However, coordination is an extremely important milestone. One of the applicants could clearly stand out from the rest and make his nomination much more likely. In addition, when voting in a large number of countries with a very diverse population, democratic candidates have the opportunity to show whether they can appeal to a broad electorate. In California or Texas, for example, there are a large number of Latinos with voting rights.
