Primaries in the United States: Joe Biden wins in Texas, Bernie Sanders in California

Former us Vice-President Joe Biden has completed a series of victories in «Super Tuesday» victory in Texas, which is a huge success for a candidate whose campaign was on the verge of collapse less than a week ago.

On Tuesday, Biden had some victories, primarily in the South (Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama), where strong support of African American voters and moderates has allowed him to even the score with his arch — rival, Senator Bernie Sanders. Biden also took a win in Minnesota and Oklahoma.

But Sanders won a major victory in California, and in Colorado, Utah and his home state of Vermont. In addition, he has achieved success in Iowa, new Hampshire and Nevada. It is expected that this victory will give him more delegates than any other candidate, although it still didn’t make him invincible leader.

Meanwhile, two other contenders for the U.S. presidency from the Democrats: former new York mayor Michael Bloomberg and Senator Elizabeth Warren (Massachusetts), saw a series of defeats. So, Warren took only third place in his home state of Massachusetts, where she lost to Biden, and Sanders.

The results of «Super Tuesday,» suggest that the contest for the democratic nomination has become a race of two people – Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, radically different candidates representing the opposing faction of the Democratic coalition.

Biden is configured to moderate the political agenda of the former President Barack Obama, while Sanders claimed that he has «democratic socialist intention to achieve radical changes in government and industry.»
