Welcome to Super Tuesday, On Politics readers. Fourteen states are holding Democratic primaries, and the first wave of polls are beginning to close. Follow live results here. |
Tonight, tonight, it all began tonight. |
As the Super Tuesday polls close tonight, we should begin to get a much clearer picture about whether Democrats are likely to face a long, contentious fight to the nomination — or whether they have an all-but-certain nominee. |
For weeks, it seemed like Super Tuesday was Bernie Sanders’s to lose.
