Joe Biden wins Super Tuesday.

Last Tuesday, 14 states voted on their democratic nominee for the 2020 election. Joe Biden won ten of the 14 states who voted, pushing him past Bernie Sanders with the most delegates earned so far. Although Biden was able to get big states with high delegate counts like Texas and North Carolina, Sanders was able to win the state with the most delegates, California. A big reason for Biden’s sudden surge was because of his many endorsements from previous presidential candidates, who dropped out before Super Tuesday. Biden is more of a moderate, wanting to “get things back to normal,” and Sanders is more of a progressive, wanting free healthcare and college for all.
