Super Tuesday is part of the United States electoral process and its importance lies in defining the finalists for the presidential candidacies of the Democratic and Republican parties.
This period begins the electoral race that will culminate on November 5 with the country’s presidential election.

Tomorrow they will only vote in 14 of the 50 states in the country, among which are:

Who will the delegates vote for?
Delegates from the 14 states on Super Tuesday must vote for their party’s presidential candidate.
In the Democrats it is outlined:
Joe Biden, president of the countryDean Philips, representative in Congress from MinnesotaMarianne Williamson, speaker and activist
According to Forbes figures, Biden has an advantage with 206 delegates, but even if he won all the votes on Super Tuesday, he would not gather the 1,968 for the Democratic candidacy.
For their part, Republicans will vote for:
Donald Trump, former president of the countryNikki Haley, former US ambassador to the United Nations
Like Biden, Trump could not win the candidacy this Tuesday, having 244 delegates and winning all of them, he would not reach the 1,215 that are needed to be a candidate.
