What Went Down On Super Tuesday

It’s interesting that Warren is speaking sooooo early. Why?!?!?! 🤔

OK, it looks like Warren is about to speak — early in the night for her to be doing so. Never a great sign. Candidates love to play the “last person on TV” game.

Over the weekend, Biden and his team held an event in Raleigh, North Carolina, at St. Augustine’s, a historically back university where Biden told voters about his time spent as Obama’s vice president and pitched them on his ability to beat Trump.

Perhaps the loudest reaction of the afternoon came when Rep. G. K. Butterfield told the crowd, “We’ve got to nominate a candidate who can win, not only the presidency, but win the state legislature, win the House, and yes, beat [Republican Sen.] Thom Tillis here in North Carolina.”

Butterfield also made digs at Sanders and Bloomberg, saying, “We’re not going to beat Donald Trump by running on Republican values or socialist schemes. We’re going to win this election as Biden Democrats, as Obama Democrats, as Roy Cooper Democrats.” (Cooper, the state’s Democratic governor, won by 0.2 percentage points against the Republican incumbent in 2016.)

Biden also stressed the importance of North Carolina in deciding the presidency, both in the general election and the nomination process.

“Literally, here in North Carolina, you hold in your hands the power to determine the next democratic nominee. That’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact,” Biden said. “If North Carolina stands with us on Tuesday, there’ll be no stopping us from there to the nomination.”
