Fourteen states across the country voting on key day for Sanders and Biden campaigns Full report: Crucial vote under way as Democrats battle for nomination Buttigieg, Klobuchar, O’Rourke all endorse Biden Your guide to Super Tuesday Support the Guardian’s independent journalism. Make a contribution 2.16pm GMT Just hours after endorsing former Joe Biden for president, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar joined NBC News’ Today program this morning - and firmly rejected the notion that she and other Democrats are trying to crush progressive champ Bernie Sanders in the 2020 race. “You want a candidate that not just builds a coalition of fired-up Democrats, which we’ve got, but also brings in independents, moderate Republicans. That’s how we won back the House of Representatives [in the 2018 midterm elections], and that’s what Joe Biden can do,” Klobuchar told program host Savannah Guthrie. 1.59pm GMT Hello all, Joanna Walters here: I’m taking over the blog in New York now, from my esteemed colleague in London, Martin Belam, and will be you walking with you through this Super Tuesday morning before passing the baton on to others for an exciting afternoon and then a dramatic night of results. Stay tuned here for all the action. Mini Mike Bloomberg can never recover from his incompetent debate performances. Also, as mayor he was very bad under pressure - a chocker! 1.37pm GMT Donald Trump is inevitably having his say on the Democrat’s Super Tuesday primaries from the comfort of his phone. He’s just been tweeting that voters in Texas and Oklahoma should shun Mike Bloomberg, as he will have a negative impact on their fossil fuel-based energy industries. Texas & Oklahoma: Mini Mike Bloomberg will kill your drilling, fracking and pipelines. Petroleum based “anything” is dead. Energy jobs gone. Don’t vote for Mini Mike! Mini Mike Bloomberg can never recover from his incompetent debate performances. Also, as mayor he was very bad under pressure - a chocker! On 3 March, Bloomberg’s big bet will be called. His name will be on the primary ballot for the first time. Sanders holds a delegate lead over a surging Joe Biden, and Bloomberg’s debate flops have some Democrats accusing him of being an obstacle rather than savior, contributing to the clog of moderate contenders that’s preventing Democrats from consolidating around a non-Sanders candidate. Unlike when he was mayor, Bloomberg can’t order those in the path of his blitz to evacuate—not that he hasn’t tried. 1.25pm GMT The AP are reporting that a super PAC is sending out robocalls today in five Super Tuesday states that feature positive words about Joe Biden from former president Barack Obama. Amanda Loveday of Unite the Country PAC says the call is running through Tuesday in Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia. 1.18pm GMT Amy Klobuchar was live on NBC News this morning in her first TV spot since dropping out. 1.02pm GMT Here’s a few things worth a read over your coffee this morning: Jim Newell in Slate suggesting that this Super Tuesday, anything could happen, and all he is willing to predict is that: Sanders will win a whole bunch of delegates, Biden will win a whole bunch of delegates, and Michael Bloomberg and Elizabeth Warren will win some number of delegates. Dead candidates, like Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, might also win some delegates based on either early voting tallies or people who don’t watch the news. Tulsi Gabbard, who is still in the race, will probably not win any delegates. The rest, though, is all unknown. One key question for Sanders is how he does in Southern states. Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee all vote on Tuesday. Black voters will be crucial to the outcome in those states, and Sanders underperformed with African Americans in South Carolina. His skeptics will be scrutinizing the Super Tuesday results for signs of further weakness in that regard. Los Angeles County spent nine years working on a government-designed and owned voting system with the goal of setting a new standard for security, reliability and transparency. Instead, millions of county voters on Super Tuesday will cast ballots on a system in which numerous security flaws were found. 12.49pm GMT At least 7 people were killed earlier today as two tornadoes touched down in central Tennessee, shredding about 40 buildings across the Nashville area. The state is due to vote today as part of Super Tuesday. Metro Nashville Public Schools said its schools would be closed Tuesday because of the tornado damage. Wilson County, just east of metro Nashville will close schools for the rest of the week. Election polling sites at schools were expected to remain open, as well as district offices, according to tweets from its official account. Any voter whose polling location has been affected by damage will be able to vote at either of the two Election Commission office locations today: • 1417 Murfreesboro Pike • 800 Second Avenue South, 4th Floor Reminder that all polling locations open one hour late at 8 AM. 12.43pm GMT It’s not just in the 14 Super Tuesday states that Democrats are casting their votes today. 3 March also marks the opening of the Democrats Abroad primary. There are thirteen pledged delegates at stake. The primary runs until 10 March. To vote, you have to be a US citizen residing abroad, be 18 as of 3 November 2020 and be a member of Democrats Abroad. 12.00pm GMT Polls are opening across the US as 14 states vote in the biggest day of the 2020 election campaign so far. Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Mike Bloomberg and Tulsi Gabbard all still vying to win the Democrats nomination to fight Donald Trump for the White House in November. The primaries in Texas and California are key battle ground, both sending swathes of delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Sanders and Warren are both facing votes in their home states. Biden has been boosted in the last two days bu the endorsements of former candidates Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Beto O’Rourke.

Responding to news that Australia’s central bank has cut interest rates to a record low due to the “significant effect” of the coronavirus outbreak on the Australian economy, Trump blasted the Fed and Jerome Powell again for their interest rate position. ….paying higher rates than many others, when we should be paying less. Tough on our exporters and puts the USA at a competitive disadvantage. Must be the other way around. Should ease and cut rate big. Jerome Powell led Federal Reserve has called it wrong from day one. Sad! 11.37am GMT There’s been some domestic controversy over the coronavirus outbreak brewing overnight. Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan has picked up on news that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have changed the way it reports the number of cases in the US - removing public information about how many people have been tested. BREAKING: The CDC has stopped disclosing the number of Americans tested for coronavirus. On the left is how the website looked last night. On the right is what it looks like now, with the testing info removed. The lack of testing is a scandal. This is the coverup. pic.twitter.com/za5w9dkEKq This is unacceptable. I just sent a letter to @CDCDirector demanding answers to why their website removed public data on the number of patients tested in the United States. The American people deserve answers. https://t.co/fr50cDL7id pic.twitter.com/Sh6JRYBjRz Americans are dying. We deserve to know how many Americans have perished from Covid-19, and we deserve to know how many people have been tested for it. Knowing that CDC testing is keeping pace with the likely number of cases is imperative to maintaining public trust. Related: Coronavirus: Washington state at center of US outbreak as 18 cases confirmed 11.16am GMT One story that will not go away during the whole of the 2020 election cycle is that of vote security. Associated Press have been looking at some of the measures in place in the first big test of the system since the 2018 midterms. And there’s a new factor at play - coronavirus. In 2016, the Russians weaponized social media to sow discord among Americans, scanned state and local election systems for cyber vulnerabilities and deployed the targeted release of stolen campaign emails and documents. US intelligence chiefs have warned that foreign interference remains a threat. And the recent outbreak of a new virus could present a bad actor with an opening to spread false information to keep voters away from the polls. We’ve already seen misinformation about the virus on social media go, well, viral. 10.59am GMT If you’d like an indication of where votes might go across the states voting today, then NBC News have got a state-by-state look at who’s leading in the polls. They give Sanders a clear lead in California, the state where most delegates are up for grabs. Sanders has a tighter six point lead over Biden in Texas, which has 228 pledged delegates on offer. 10.32am GMT Good morning. And then there were four. Well, four plus Tulsi Gabbard. Super Tuesday always looked like being the day that the Democratic nomination field narrowed - but we expected it to be after the results, not in the two days beforehand. The withdrawal of first Pete Buttigieg and then Amy Klobuchar from the race leaves today’s election tantalisingly poised. Related: What is Super Tuesday? Your guide to the night Continue reading…
