Bernie Sanders Holds Super Tuesday Campaign Rally In Vermont
ESSEX JUNCTION, VT - MARCH 01: Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speaks to supporters after winning the state of Vermont on Super Tuesday on March 1, 2016 in Essex Junction, Vermont. Thousands of Americans across the country are participating in Super Tuesday, the biggest day of the 2016 primary season. Thirteen states and one territory are participating in Super Tuesday: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Wyoming and American Samoa. This years election, with strong candidates on both the left and the right, is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and divisive in recent history.

Bernie Sanders has won the Democratic caucuses in Nebraska, according to AP projections, marking his second victory on Saturday.

Sanders also won the Kansas caucuses on Saturday. If you add that to his success in Oklahoma on Super Tuesday, it’s clear that the Vermont senator has captured the attention of Democratic voters in the middle of the country.

It is worth noting that these states don’t generally vote for Democrats in the general election.

The biggest upcoming contest in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination will take place on Tuesday in Michigan. Ahead of that, Bernie Sanders and rival Hillary Clinton will debate in Flint, Mich. on Sunday night. They will also appear in a Town Hall on Fox News on Monday night.
