The Democratic Party's anti-Sanders crusade switched into high gear Monday, on the eve of the most critical day in the presidential primary season.
Two of the highest profile Democratic contenders, Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg, ended their presidential bids within a day of each other and moved instantly to endorse Joe Biden.
For weeks, candidates have refused to coalesce around a clear alternative to socialist Bernie Sanders, even though they and the party have been aghast and increasingly alarmed by his march toward victory. But now, they have finally snapped into crisis management mode in hopes of preventing him from collecting a motherlode of Super Tuesday delegates.
There are 1,357 delegates at stake in the 14 Super Tuesday states — Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia, along with Democrats abroad, and caucuses in American Samoa.
