US Democrats Voting in 14 Presidential Primaries

Ken Bredemeier

   Americans across 14 U.S. states are voting Tuesday in key Democratic
   presidential nominating contests, possibly narrowing the field of
   choices to face Republican President Donald Trump in November's
   national election.

   Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-declared democratic socialist,
   is expected to win the largest share of delegates to the party's July
   national nominating convention, largely off a projected robust vote for
   him in California, the country's biggest state.

   In all, a third of the national convention delegates will be picked in
   the single day of voting.

   But Sanders faces stiff competition in several states from former Vice
   President Joe Biden, who easily captured the South Carolina primary
   last weekend on the strength of a large turnout of African-American
   voters and then was endorsed by two opponents who dropped out of the
   race, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota
   Senator Amy Klobuchar.
