More than 1,300 delegates are at stake on Super Tuesday, the nation’s biggest and toughest electoral event so far in 2020.
Those 1,357 pledged delegates (including six from American Samoa and 13 from Democrats Abroad) also make up 34% of the nationwide total on Super Tuesday, making March 3 a make-or-break day for the remaining Democratic White House hopefuls.
Georgia has been part of Super Tuesday in the past, but not this year. Early voting, however, began Monday for Georgia's March 24 primary.
Here’s a breakdown of the delegate count for 14 states holding their primary elections on Super Tuesday:
