WASHINGTON (NEWSnet/AP) — With contests in 16 states in addition to American Samoa, Super Tuesday is the largest day of voting in the presidential cycle outside of the November election.

This year, Super Tuesday happens March 5.

Both Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican front-runner Donald Trump hope to collect victories that will help them move beyond the primaries and focus on an expected general election rematch. There are 1,420 Democratic delegates to be picked, and 854 Republican delegates to be picked, on that date.

That being said, the math is such that neither Trump nor Biden could claim the title of “presumptive nominee” on Super Tuesday. The earliest that could happen, based on primary and caucus dates and delegate counts, is March 12 for Trump and March 19 for Biden.

And Republican candidate Nikki Haley has promised to stay in the race until at least Super Tuesday.

In addition to the presidential races, there will be state primaries Tuesday in Alabama, Arkansas, California, North Carolina and Texas. This includes a race in California to succeed the late Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
