TOP STORY: Sanders, Biden lead the pack as Super Tuesday results roll in
Joe Biden had a strong showing at the polls.
The former VP snatched the most states, with a total of nine wins, as he took Texas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee and the battleground states of North Carolina and Virginia, according to ABC News projections.
We are still waiting official results out of California but Bernie Sanders is currently in the lead.
Meanwhile, President Trump won all the Republican Primaries.
Tuesday night, he sent out a slew of tweets taunting the democratic candidate. One tweet saying in part, "The biggest loser tonight, by far, is Mini Mike Bloomberg. His political consultants took him for a ride. $700 million washed down the drain and he got nothing for it but the nickname Mini Mike."
Wednesday morning, Bloomberg announced he would be suspending his 2020 presidential campaign.
Bloomberg said disappointing Super Tuesday results combined with the goal of defeating President Donald Trump in the 2020 race led to his decision to leave the race.
