What is Super Tuesday and how does it work?
Read Original Source
Voters across America are preparing to take part in the biggest day of the 2020 election so far. More than a year after the first Democratic candidates joined the race to take on Donald Trump, we've now reached Super Tuesday. Fourteen states will vote on which Democrat they want to run in November's election. Bernie Sanders is in the lead after the early contests. By Wednesday, we could have a clearer picture of who the nominee will be.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Super Tuesday is the biggest turning point so far in the 2020 Democratic race, with Bernie Sanders holding the lead and Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg trying to close the gap.
Key Points:
- Fourteen states vote on Super Tuesday, and a huge share of the delegates needed to win the nomination is at stake.

- Biden gained strength after winning South Carolina and getting support from rivals who dropped out, including Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar.
- Bloomberg is banking on Super Tuesday states to make a late surge, but polls still show Sanders and Biden as the main contenders.
