WASHINGTON - Super Tuesday - March 3 - is the biggest day in the Democratic primary election calendar, when 14 states and one US territory will vote for the Democratic presidential nominee - the person who will eventually run against President Donald Trump in November.
Super Tuesday may produce a presumptive nominee. The sheer number of candidates available on March 3 means that anyone who does very well could make it hard for rivals to catch up after that. California's results may not be known immediately, however, as the state typically takes a long time to count its votes.
But if there isn't, candidates will likely continue to fight it out until the Democratic National Convention in July, as eventual nominee Hillary Clinton and Mr Sanders did in 2016. The media mogul has spent an unprecedented fortune on ads and paid organising, and is currently in third place in national polls, but has been untested so far.4. WILL ANYONE ELSE DROP OUT? Under the Democratic Party's rules, candidates need to win at least 15 per cent of the vote in a state to pick up a proportionate number of the state's delegates. If they do not meet the threshold, they get no delegates from that state.
Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii is also still in the race, despite not having picked up any delegates so far.
