Networks Announce Super Tuesday Coverage Plans

The most significant day of the Democratic primary campaign is nearly upon us, Super Tuesday. On March 3, a whopping 14 states will hold nominating contests to pick who they think should square off this fall against Republican party nominee President Trump.

People will head to the polls all across the country, from Virginia to California, Tennessee to Texas. The states and voters are diverse. Almost half have significant black populations, and Latinos figure to be an important factor in the two states with the biggest delegate hauls, California and Texas. American Samoa and Democrats living overseas are also voting on Tuesday.

There’s a ton on the line here. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is presently the frontrunner, but former vp Joe Biden now in second after a big win on Saturday in the South Carolina primary.
