People following the Democratic Party process for choosing its presidential nominee will watch the events of March 3 closely. The day is known as Super Tuesday. Reporters and political experts coined the term many years ago. It describes the day during the presidential election season when more states hold nominating elections than any other day. For the candidates, Super Tuesday is arguably the most important day for their chances to receive the party’s nomination. Fourteen states and one U.S. territory will be holding votes on that day. Among them are two of the nation’s biggest states, California and Texas. The results will establish how many delegates each candidate earns. A total of 1,357 delegates will be decided. That is 34 percent of the total number of delegates needed to win the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
