Super Saturday Results


The Super Saturday primary elections showed the presidential race narrowing down. Texas Senator Ted Cruz is catching up to Donald Trump after winning the caucuses in Kansas and Maine, only trailing Trump by 83 delegates (378-295). Bernie Sanders won two out of three states on Saturday (including Maine on Sunday), but is still behind by 203 delegates, excluding super delegates.

The race for the Republican nomination is starting to narrow down to Trump and Cruz while Rubio and Kasich are struggling to be a threat. In order to clinch the Republican nomination, a candidate must have 1, 237 delegates. Rubio currently has 151 delegates, and Kasich has 37.


Bernie Sanders had a successful turnout on Super Saturday. Pundits are predicting that this momentum can reenergize his campaign as he didn't do too well on Super Tuesday. In order to clinch the Democratic nomination, the candidate must have 2, 838 delegates.
