Super Tuesday, the focus of the 2020 US presidential election, is drawing to a close. Although there are still some states that have not yet completed all the vote counting, Biden has successfully reversed and basically locked in this key victory, which is one step closer to winning the party's presidential nomination.
As the election became clear, Biden tweeted to celebrateAnd made it clear that he would focus on defeating Trump and make up his mind to drive "Trump out of the White House" with the help of supporters.. Biden also added an address to accept donations at the end of the tweet.
Biden swept the southern states to achieve an anti-super in Texas.
Before the official start of Super Tuesday, institutional polls showed Sanders in the lead in most of the 14 states, and predicted that Sanders was expected to win 41% of the total votes cast that day, plus the number of votes in the states that had already ended the primary. Sanders is likely to win.
But Biden had previously won a big lead in South Carolina with African-American voters, plusParty candidates Peter Boutigig and Amy Clobutcher announced their withdrawal from the election to support BidenAll signs herald the change of "Super Tuesday".

The day of "Super Tuesday"Texas, the second largest voting position, becomes a key turning point.Sanders was once ahead of Biden, but Biden surpassed after 67% of the votes were opened. After NBC predicted that Biden would win in Texas, Biden tweeted thanks to Texas supporters.
The Republican situation is clear, incumbent President Trump has no doubt to win, and early tweeted to celebrate, thank supporters and start a "mockery mode" for Bloomberg.

According to the policy of the US Democratic Party, any candidate who gets 1991 votes will automatically become the Democratic presidential candidate. But for now, Biden and Sanders willIt is highly probable that it is difficult to get the required 1991 votes.At that time, the Democratic Party will enter the "Consultative Party Congress" (contested convention) to elect the final presidential candidate.
Other candidates, including Mr Bloomberg, who has invested more than $500m in campaign money in 14 states, are much less likely to win the presidential nomination. In Super Tuesday, Bloomberg won only in American Samoa, with only 43 votes so far.
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren also suffered a crushing defeat in Super Tuesday, with only 48 votes so far, ranking third in her home state of Massachusetts, behind Biden and Sanders. Because he failed to make it into the top two in all constituencies, he theoretically lost the possibility of directly winning the nomination.
The following states that will hold primaries include:
March 10: Idaho; Michigan; Mississippi; Missouri; North Dakota; Washington
March 17: Arizona; Florida; Illinois; Ohio
March 24: Georgia.
According to the process of the US election, the results of the party primaries will be determined from July to August. On November 3 this year, the president was finally elected by referendum.
Can Biden beat Trump?
If Biden, who has won a phased victory, succeeds in winning the presidential nomination, can he finally defeat the incumbent President Donald Trump? A reporter from the World wide Web interviewed Shi Yinhong, a professor at the School of International Relations at Renmin University of China and director of the Center for American Studies.
Shi Yinhong said: "at present, the United States is facing challenges such as the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic and the economic downturn, and there are many variables. It is difficult to predict which Trump or Biden will win. IfCOVID-19 epidemic spread, the US economy suffered a heavy blowBiden's chances of defeating Trump have increased significantly. But if that hadn't happened, it would have been hard for Biden to beat Trump in the US election. "
