538's estimate of delegates won on Super Tuesday

Biden 477
Sanders 456

Biden +21

As of today Sanders has 57 and Biden 53.

That would give Biden an overall lead of 17 delegates, 530 to 513.

What about Warren? Jose Garcia Mar 2020 #1

She'll have less than 150 today, she has 8 going into today. George II Mar 2020 #4

I figured she is at least going to get some in MA Jose Garcia Mar 2020 #12

538 has her getting a few in each state, but that's dependent upon her getting over 15% too..... George II Mar 2020 #13

He has the Pacific Northwest, Wisconsin and small plains states left, but Biden has a buttload of big population states left after today. So if Biden comes out of today with the lead, it's over for Sanders. Even if Biden is within 100 pledged delegates of Sanders after today, Biden becomes the big favorite.

There is huge momentum for Joe at the moment. Voters are feeling it and it's going to show up in a big way later tonight.

If that happens I believe Sanders is finished. This was supposed to be his big day. The next round of states are considerably less favorable to him. Biden will then coast to the nomination.
