Biden Wins 10 of 14 States on Super Tuesday
March 4, 2020
Former Vice-president Joe Biden vaulted into the delegate lead with a command performance on Super Tuesday, winning 10 of the 14 states on offer. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) won the other four. The result was a shakeup in the delegate count, with Biden taking the lead but not by much. Biden had been lagging behind Sanders and the other candidates until the South Carolina primary, which Biden won going away on the Saturday before Super Tuesday. In between, one of the more high-profile candidates, former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg, had ended his campaign and endorsed Biden. Buttigieg had barely finished first in the Iowa caucuses, the first event on the political calendar this year. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who finished consistently far behind in the first handful of contests, also ended her candidacy and also endorsed Biden. Another high-profile candidate, former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, had not gotten his name on the ballot in the early states but had spent $500 million on advertising all across the country in the past few months. He was banking on some big wins on Super Tuesday and finished no higher than third in any state. Not long after results started to come in, he, too, ended his campaign and he, too, endorsed Biden.
