3rd March 2020 is the day when voters across 14 states and 1 territory in the US vote together. This will decide who will be the Democratic presidential candidate this year. Super Tuesday is the largest day of voting in the US as most states hold primaries and caucuses. On this day, the most number of voters in the country will cast their votes. Most delegates will be allotted to candidates too this Super Tuesday.
Sen. Bernie Sanders and former vice president Joe Biden, along with 3 other candidates are fighting for the top spot. #SuperTuesday began trending on Twitter along with #VoteForBernie.
What makes Super Tuesday so special? Two of the most populous US states (California and Texas) are participating in the polls. Moreover, the states participating in the polls this day span the entire country from East to West coast.
Super Tuesday has been a national event in the US for a while. The very first Super Tuesday was held in 1988 when 20 states (mostly southern) participated in the voting.

You may notice many voters supporting Bernie. That is because he seems to be the only candidate with a plan for universal healthcare. While other candidates either disagree with healthcare for all or deny healthcare to the old, Bernie’s plan provides Medicare for all.
Check out the video below that talks about the healthcare issue in the US.

Bernie does not just prioritize healthcare issues. According to this tweet, Bernie is also concerned about climate change, LGBTQ rights, income equality, and various important issues.
Not bc he’s perfect.
But because from Standing Rock, to climate change, to LGBTQ rights, to income inequity he’s been the most consistent candidate on the issues that I care about.
Today, I voted for @SenSanders. #SuperTuesday #VoteForBernie pic.twitter.com/ZjgIZskLtj
