March 1st, 2016 was considered Super Tuesday because many primary and caucuses were held all around the South. The states that participated were Georgia, Vermont, Virginia, Alabama, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, Minnesota, Alaska, Arkansas, and Colorado, which all helped decide the delegates for each party.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are the last two candidates fighting for the Democratic nomination. Hillary Clinton won 7 out of the 11 states that were holding their elections, which increased her number of delegates to 1,034. The states that she won were Georgia, Virginia, Massachusetts, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas and Arkansas. Bernie Sanders won 4 of the 11 states that were involved and that brought his number of delegates to 408. Both candidates are still pushing forward in the political race with only a slight margin separating Clinton and Sanders.

On the Republican side, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Ben Carson are the last five candidates running for the presidency. Ben Carson decided to suspend his candidacy on March 4th, due to the results of the elections. Donald Trump won 7 out of the 11 states which put him with a lead of 316 delegates. Donald Trump won Georgia, Vermont, Virginia, Alabama, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Ted Cruz won 3 out of the 11 states and increased his number of delegates to 226. Marco Rubio won 1 state and now has 106 delegates. The other candidates didn’t win any states and didn’t gain any delegates. The Republican candidates are still moving on in their debates and elections but some candidates have lost their momentum and are dropping out.

Who will be next?
