The political calendar for presidential candidates so far this year has featured only one or two election contests at a time. But next Tuesday definitely lives up to its billing as Super Tuesday.
On that day, 24 states, including Minnesota, will hold primaries or caucuses.
There will be 1,681 Democratic delegates and 1,023 Republican delegates up for grabs to the national presidential nominating conventions.
A candidate needs 2,025 delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, and 1,191 to win the Republican nomination.
