With all eyes on Michigan, six states head to the polls in the Democratic primary
Follow along today for live updates from primaries across the country.
WASHINGTON – Welcome to Super Tuesday, Part 2.
Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders are separated by fewer than 100 delegates as six states – Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Washington – head out to vote Tuesday.
Biden currently leads with 664 delegates while Sanders is in striking distance at 573. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii also remains in the Democratic primary, but has only amassed two delegates in the first 19 contests.
On the heels of last week’s Super Tuesday, where Biden surpassed Sanders in the delegate race, both candidates have their eyes on Michigan.

Michigan has 125 delegates up for grabs – the most of the day. And in 2016, Sanders had a surprising victory in the state over Hillary Clinton, who had been leading in polling.
But Biden got good news Monday with a Detroit Free Press poll showing him in the lead at 51% support and Sanders at 27%.
Washington, which has the second most delegates (89) being awarded Tuesday, could also be close, with Biden and Sanders neck and neck in recent polling. Sanders overwhelmingly won Washington in 2016, and he has won all of the Western states that have held contests so far this year.
