Why is Super Tuesday so super and what will it tell us about the White House race?

Image: PA Images MORE SO THAN any day in the lengthy Democratic primary process, Tuesday will be the most important single day in determining who takes on Donald Trump in November.

Delegates are divvied up as a proportion of the percentage votes a candidate received but a candidate must have received at least 15% of votes to get any delegates at all. The Republican party is technically holding a primary process but Trump’s would-be challengers are not making any inroads and the sitting president is therefore the presumptive nominee.

The one-time frontrunner Joe Biden has thus far had a poor run of results but he is hoping to turn that around with a strong performance in South Carolina today. Should this momentum fail to materialise there could be increased pressure on Biden to drop out of the race. On the other hand, should Sanders be the decisive win across many states on Super Tuesday his candidacy would start to look more and more unbeatable.

As Larry Donnelly wrote in TheJournal.ie earlier this week, Amy Klobuchar’s campaign might not have much more to run with Sanders supporters also hoping that Elizabeth Warren might depart the race in the not-too-distant future.

I see Michael D has got involved!!
