Michael Bloomberg projected to win American Samoa, claiming his first victory of the primary season
Biden wins Alabama Joe Biden has won Alabama. That gives the former Vice President his third win of the night as polls across the country continue to close. The state has 52 delegates at stake.
Story continuesBloomberg, 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.Biden wins North Carolina as polls continue to close across the country 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. Sanders wins Vermont, Biden wins Virginia Sen. Bernie Sanders has won his home state of Vermont and former Vice President Joe Biden has won Virgini. Those announcements were made from exit polling as voting on those contests closed.
Virginia experienced its own"blue wave" last November when Democrats won control of both houses of the state's General Assembly for the first time since 1993. A Republican hasn't won a statewide race here for more than 10 years. The last state to close is California, where voting will wrap up at 11 p.m. EST. It could take days for the results in that state, however, as many voters have mailed their ballots.Money well spent? According to preliminary exit polling in several Super Tuesday states, voters expressed unfavorable opinions of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, despite his hundreds of millions spent on outreach in Super Tuesday states.
Tom Steyer, the other billionaire who wanted to be president, dropped out Saturday after getting no delegates in South Carolina despite outspending the field there. “I thought Amy had a better chance of beating Trump,” he said Tuesday after casting his ballot. “But I like Elizabeth’s policies.” The ruling came at the request of four of the top Democratic presidential campaigns, along with the Tennessee Democratic Party. The groups filed suit in a Nashville court on Tuesday to extend poll times amid heavy tornado damage throughout the city. A voting-rights group had also urged Tennessee to extend Tuesday’s primary voting in areas damaged by tornadoes.
“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 TrumpAlexandria, Va. — Lindsay Robinson, 34, said she voted for Warren because the Massachusetts senator “has a plan for everything.
For some progressive voters, concern comes over their faces at the mention of Bloomberg. “I’ll vote blue no matter who,” says Annette Licitra, 62, “but comes closest to representing my values.” Trump said it looks to him that Joe Biden"has come up a little bit," and repeated his claim that Democrats are somehow conspiring to deny the presidential nomination to Bernie Sanders.
Trump also tweeted out some Super Tuesday thoughts in the early morning, though most of those comments dealt with a third potential opponent: Michael Bloomberg. “I think our incumbents are extraordinarily strong, have been very successful in their initial year-plus in the Congress. And so, we're going to be working very hard on that,” Hoyer said. “And we, of course, want to make sure that the top of the ticket as well is elected because we want to defeat Trump.”
Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election but won the popular vote, said the"most important issue is who can defeat Donald Trump." Minnesota website briefly redirected to pro-Warren groupST. PAUL, Minn. – Some Minnesota voters trying to look up their polling location on the nonpartisan secretary of state’s website were briefly redirected to the website of a progressive group that has backed Sen. Elizabeth Warren for president, stoking concerns among some Republicans.
Republican state Rep. Jim Nash criticized Simon’s office, saying in a statement that it showed “an astonishing lack of judgment by the Secretary of State’s office.” DeBeauvoir said it usually takes six, but no less than three, judges and poll workers to operate just one polling location. The county clerk’s Office worked all morning to find replacements, however, while they were doing so other workers were also abandoning their posts once they realized there were not enough workers to open for voting.
Sanders and his wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders, voted near their home in Burlington's New North End neighborhood about 10:25 a.m. "Voted in first Dem primary to support party dedicated to restoring values in WH. I agree with @amyklobuchar: We need candidate who cares about all Americans and will restore decency, dignity to the office. There is a reason Trump fears @joebiden and roots for Bernie. #Biden2020," Comey's tweet read.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said that nine people had died in the storms in a news conference Tuesday morning. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said tornadoes hit more than 40 buildings. Recent polls taken before Biden’s big win in South Carolina Saturday show Sanders has nearly three times the support among Latino Democrats in California as Biden and a 12 percentage-point lead over Biden with Latino Democrats in Texas.
