Super Tuesday is here and it's time to see how 14 of the 50 states will vote in their primaries. Here's what you need to know about which states are voting, and when to expect results.
– Polls start closing at 7 p.m. ET in Vermont and Virginia
– California is the last poll to close, at 11 p.m. ET.
We head into Super Tuesday with a smaller pack, as South Bend, IN mayor Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar dropping out after the South Carolina primary results. That state's primary gave Joe Biden the upward momentum it so desperately needed.
FiveThirtyEight's odds currently put "No one" in the lead for earning the nomination, with 3 in 5 odds. United States vice president Joe Biden jumped to 2nd place, with 3 in 10 odds, and Bernie Sanders moved to third with 1 in 12 odds.
We typically begin to get state-specific results when polls close in each state, and that means those of us on the Eastern seaboard will be up late to see how California votes. That being said, this is 2020 and we can all still see the Iowa caucus in our rear view mirror, so I'm not expecting any certain answers until I wake up on Wednesday.
