There’s a Reason It’s Called ‘Super’ Tuesday

Biden and his team have the strong support shown by black voters throughout the south to thank for the victories.

Biden’s Domination in South Helps Claim Delegate Lead

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior Correspondent

Perhaps channeling energy from his and former President Barack Obama’s magical 2008 “Yes We Can” presidential campaign, Joe Biden turned in what one news outlet called “one of the most remarkable comebacks in modern political history.”

After South Carolina’s primary victory breathed new life into his then-faltering campaign, Super Tuesday left the former vice president dominating the Democratic field across the southern states. Biden and his team have the strong support shown by Black voters throughout the south to thank for the victories.

Biden sat down for an exclusive interview with The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) in Charleston, where he laid out his plan for Black America. During that interview, he predicted that the Black vote would likely determine the next Democratic nominee for president.

“It’s going to be the determining factor in who the nominee is going to be, and I hope that means who the next president is going to be,” Biden proclaimed. “The Black Press is the way I did my politics. You go where people are,” he continued.

“You walk into a Black barbershop or beauty salon, and your newspaper was there. It’s who we are. The neighborhood we come from. It’s incredibly important; you’re incredibly important. I never had the money, but any ads that I’ve ever purchased has only been in Black newspapers because it’s the single best way for people to get access to what I say and what I really mean.”

One day after Biden’s NNPA interview, he received the endorsement from powerful South Carolina Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn.

“Biden is going to be very successful, and he will be our nominee. I really deeply feel he will be the next president of the United States,” Clyburn stated.

After his victory in South Carolina, Biden’s campaign was further propelled when three former opponents: former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, announced they were endorsing him.

Before South Carolina, it appeared that Vermont’s Senator Bernie Sanders was poised to place a stranglehold on the nomination and that Biden’s campaign had run out of steam. However, over two days in the Palmetto State, Biden’s fortunes began to turn.

Biden won 10 of the 14 Super Tuesday states, including North Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Massachusetts (home state to competitor and now former hopeful) Senator Elizabeth Warren — Maine and Minnesota (home of Senator Amy Klobuchar).

Biden also surprised everyone by winning Texas, a victory that the electorate kept a secret from pollsters, allowing the election’s results to declare their intentions.

To win the Democratic Party nomination on the first ballot at the National Convention this summer, a candidate must obtain 1,991 of the 3,979 total delegates. That requirement is why Super Tuesday, when voters in 15 states and territories select their choice for the party’s nomination, is the most important day of the Democratic primary.

A total of 1,300 Super Tuesday delegates are up for grabs with California awarding 415 (almost 25 percent of the delegate total required minimum to win nomination), and another 228 at stake in Texas.

If no candidate captures the nomination on the first ballot, all delegates become unpledged. A total of 4,750 delegates vote on a second – and any subsequent – ballot.

Early projections pointed to a hefty 351-280 Super Tuesday delegate count edge for Biden over Sanders, his sole remaining competitor for the nomination. However, even while still awaiting results from California and Maine, Biden had already racked up a total of 453 delegates, while Sanders earned 373.

“It’s a good night. It seems to be getting better. They don’t call it Super Tuesday for nothing,” Biden remarked during a rally in Los Angeles.

“Those who have been knocked down, counted out, left behind. This is your campaign. Just a few days ago, the press declared the campaign dead. And then came South Carolina. And they had something to say about it,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sanders carried his home state of Vermont as well as Colorado and Utah. As of early Wednesday, in a race too close to call, Sanders enjoyed a 36.6 percent to 24.9 percent lead over Biden for California’s 415 delegates.

At 14.3 percent, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who earned a Super Tuesday victory in American Somoa, finished third in the Golden State.

Of the remaining Super Tuesday-eligible candidates, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren had 39 delegates, while Bloomberg earned 18.

After failing to score any victories and losing her home state, Warren’s future in the race was determined when she announced her exit on Thursday. Likewise, Bloomberg, whose late start and lack of Super Tuesday voter support left no clear path to the nomination, also left the race. However, unlike Warren, who has yet to indicate who she will endorse, Bloomberg threw his support behind Biden and recommitted to his pledge to “do whatever it takes to defeat Trump.”

For his part, Sanders maintains that he will ultimately prevail because voters understand that he’s best positioned to defeat Trump. “What we need is politics that bring working-class people into our political movement. One that brings young people into our political movement, and which, in November, will create the highest voter turnout in American political history,” said Sanders during a campaign stop in Vermont on Tuesday. “You cannot beat [President] Trump with the same old politics.”

While young voters appeared among Sanders’ biggest backers in California, African American voters powered Biden’s South Carolina and Super Tuesday victories, according to exit polls taken by CNN.

2023 Mazda CX-50 2.5L Turbo w/Premium Plus Package AWD In-depth walkaround and POV Test Drive.
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is a luxurious and powerful compact SUV that boasts several high-end features and technologies. Equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, 227 HP @ 310 lb-ft Torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, the C-50 delivers a robust performance and is available with the Premium Plus package, which offers various advanced features. This review will delve into the details of the car’s features and overall performance.

The CX-50 comes in a beautiful Ingot Blue Metallic exterior color, which complements its elegant and sleek design. It features black 20-inch alloy wheels with P245/45 R20 all-season tires, which provide excellent grip and stability on the road. The rain-sensing windshield wipers and wiper de-icer are a thoughtful addition, making driving in inclement weather more manageable. Additionally, the auto power-folding side mirrors are convenient for parking in tight spaces.

The CX-50’s interior is equally impressive, with a Black interior color and Brown leather-trimmed seats. The 5-passenger seating is spacious, and the power driver’s seat with memory and power passenger seats offer ample adjustability for comfortable driving positions. The ventilated front seats are a welcome feature, especially in hotter climates. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is a premium touch and feels good in the hands. The heated steering wheel is perfect for chilly weather, and the paddle shifters add to the car’s sporty feel. The Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry and rear power liftgate are convenient features that make accessing the vehicle a breeze.

The CX-50 has several safety and security features, including 24-hour roadside assistance, 5-passenger 3-point safety belts, LATCH child safety seat anchors, and an anti-theft engine immobilizer. It also has a lane departure warning system, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The I-ACTIV all-wheel drive, hill launch assist, and MI-Drive – sport/off-road/towing make it an excellent option for various driving conditions. The CX-50 also boasts a 3500 lb towing capacity, which makes it ideal for those who need to haul extra gear.

The CX-50 comes equipped with several high-tech features, including a power panoramic moonroof, adaptive front lighting system, LED headlights with auto on/off, and roof rails. The 10.25″ color center display and active driving HeadUp display provide easy access to all necessary information. The dual-zone auto climate control ensures that everyone in the car stays comfortable, and the rearview camera makes parking a breeze. The car has an AM/FM/HD Radio® with four USB inputs, BOSE® 12-speakers audio system, and a SiriusXM® 3 mos. trial. The Mazda Connected Services, wireless Android Auto, and wireless Apple CarPlay™ are convenient for connecting smartphones and accessing music and apps on the go.

The CX-50 has several pros, including multiple driving modes, off-road modes, and a comfortable interior. The car has quick off-the-line acceleration and handles well, making it a fun car to drive.

One downside to the CX-50 is that the ride quality is mediocre. It may not be the best option for those who prefer a very smooth ride.

The CX-50’s MSRP is $43,525, and the Turbo Premium Plus Package adds extra features, such as heated rear seats, 360-degree view monitor, traffic jam assist, front and rear parking sensors, rear smart brake support, blind spot prevention, Mazda Navigation System, wireless phone charger, traffic sign recognition, and a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®.

The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a luxurious and powerful compact SUV with advanced features and technologies. The car’s impressive performance, various driving modes, and comfortable interior make it a joy to drive. Additionally, the car’s safety and security features, along with the advanced technology, make it a safe and convenient car to own. Overall, the Mazda CX-50 is a strong contender in the compact SUV market and is definitely worth considering for those who want a car that delivers both performance and luxury.
