What to Watch on Super Tuesday

The Epoch Times Header

Trump is poised to dominate on March 5 as ballots in several states will feature key congressional races in addition to presidential primary contests.

Presidential primary voters across 15 states and one U.S. territory will sound off on their preferred presidential candidates on Super Tuesday, March 5. But for the first time this election season, there will be other races of national consequence on the ballot as well.

This year, control of Congress also hangs in the balance as slim majorities in the House and Senate present vulnerabilities and opportunities for both parties.

Hereโ€™s what to watch for as the votes roll in on Super Tuesday.

Which States Will Vote?

States whose primaries fall on Super Tuesday this year are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia, as well as the territory of American Samoa.

Iowa Democrats will also learn the results of their unprecedented vote-by-mail caucus.

Down-Ballot Races to Watch

With the Republican majority in the House hanging by a thread, there are dozens of key congressional races this year that could upset the balance of power in Washington, several of which will hold their primaries on Super Tuesday.

California, especially, will be crucial to who holds the House next year. There, Democrats are targeting seven Republican-held seats for potential gains. Republicans, on the other hand, are homing in on the seats of Democratic Reps. Josh Harder and Mike Levin, as well as the open seat of Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who is running for Senate.
