Today is Super Tuesday, and I'm super excited.
Super Tuesday is the most significant day for primary elections and caucuses nationwide prior to Election Day itself. Voters in 15 states and one territory will be expressing their preference for President.
Which states vote on Super Tuesday 2024? Full list of who votes today and how many delegates are at stake
By Caroline Linton. Updated on: March 5, 2024
Republicans will hold nominating contests in 15 states and Democrats in 15 states and one territory on
Super Tuesday, the day when the
presidential races typically take shape.
President Biden remains the front-runner for the Democrats and doesn't face any serious challengers. Among the states
voting on Tuesday is Minnesota, the home state of
Rep. Dean Phillips, who has launched a longshot bid against Mr. Biden and could face defeat in his home state. Although author Marianne Williamson had ended her long-shot campaign, she unsuspended it after she finished ahead of Phillips in the Michigan primary.
Former President Donald Trump is the front-runner for the Republican nomination, but former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is still in the race. Going into Super Tuesday, Haley lost
all but one of the early nominating contests, although she has picked up some delegates along the way.
There are hundreds of delegates at stake for both Democrats and Republicans on Super Tuesday, but neither Mr. Biden nor Trump will be able to win enough delegates to secure the nomination on March 5. CBS News estimates that the earliest Trump can clinch the nomination is March 12 and the earliest Mr. Biden can is March 19.
