Resurgent Joe Biden scores victories from Texas to Massachusetts on Super Tuesday as his rival Bernie Sanders seizes the biggest prize with a win in California
Democratic presidential candidate and former vice president Joe Biden speaks during a primary election night rally Tuesday, March 3, 2020 in Los Angeles.
Biden and Sanders, lifelong politicians with starkly different visions for America’s future, were battling for delegates as 14 states and one US territory held a series of high-stakes elections that marked the most significant day of voting in the party’s 2020 presidential nomination fight. In some states, the late-deciders made up roughly half of all voters, according to AP VoteCast, surveys of voters in several state primaries. He drew support from a broad coalition of moderates and conservatives, African Americans and voters older than 45.
The balance of Super Tuesday's battlefield –– with Biden winning at least eight states and Sanders four –– raised questions about whether the Democratic primary contest would stretch all the way to the July convention or be decided much sooner. Biden racked up his victories despite being dramatically outspent and out-staffed. Moderate rival Bloomberg, for example, poured more than $12 million into television advertising in Virginia, while Biden spent less than $200,000.
Biden is a 77-year-old lifelong leader of his party’s Washington establishment who emphasizes a more pragmatic approach to core policy issues like health care and climate change.
