What do Michigan, Mississippi and Missouri all have in common? Are they all east of the Mississippi River, west of the river, states prior to 1850 or part of the Louisiana Purchase? All of these states were admitted to the union before 1850.
And yesterday they were all also part of "Super Tuesday 2" or "Super Tuesday 2.0". Whatever you call it, it involved six states in total. Five were holding primaries, one was holding caucuses. It came exactly one week after "Super Tuesday" and wasn't as big in terms of delegates at stake but it was the next big step in the process that will determine which Democrat and which Republican will be listed on the U.S. presidential ballot this November 3rd.
While incumbent President Donald Trump is dominating the Republican races over former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld, there are three Democrats competing for their party's nomination and the two front runners were very close to each other in terms of the delegates they'd won. Going into yesterday's contests, former Vice-President Joe Biden had 635 pledged delegates. U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont had 558. We didn't have results when we produced this show but the big prize from "Super Tuesday 2" was Michigan. In that state, 125 delegates were at stake.
