OnPolitics: Why does Super Tuesday matter? Thank you for asking

We hope you came here hungry for Super Tuesday and 2020 Democratic candidate news.

Let's be honest with each other

Can we just assume that you've subscribed to a top-notch politics newsletter - yes this one - because you KNOW what Super Tuesday is about?

Like can we avoid the explanation of why tomorrow is going to be the day that separates pretenders from the contenders?

No? Yeah, you're right. Our bosses would not be pleased. So, here we go.

What's at stake?

The reason Super Tuesday is so significant is that there are 1,344 delegates awarded out of the 14 states and one territory to vote that day, or about 34% of all pledged delegates.

•	Candidates flock to delegate-rich Texas
•	California has a huge role, but new vote centers a concern
•	8 US officials give rare public warning on foreign interference

Monday was kind of super, though

The thing about politics is that we never really know when major announcements are going to come. Sen. Amy Klobuchar decided to drop out of the race after a string of poor primary showings. This after Pete Buttigieg dropped out on Sunday. Both have already announced who they are supporting.

That's not all of it, though.

•	Ex-Sen. Harry Reid endorses Joe Biden for president
•	Joe Biden's blowout win in South Carolina could reshape nomination fight
•	Bernie Sanders supporters denounce news outlets
•	Sanders dominates new USA TODAY/Suffolk poll
