Texas is one of 16 states, along with one United States territory, that will hold its primary election on Super Tuesday, March 5.
The Lone Star State will have the second biggest delegate haul after California, with 150 delegates to be assigned based on the results of the primary and the other 11 at the statewide convention in May.
More than one-third of the total delegates available in both the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries will be won on Super Tuesday. On the GOP side, 854 of 2,429 will be at stake on Super Tuesday, and Democrats will award 1,420 delegates. Technically no one will lock up the nomination on March 5, but candidates can get close to the magic number of 1,215.
Former President Donald Trump has 122 delegates, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the last challenger on the Republican side, has only won 24. President Joe Biden has been awarded 206 delegates, and “uncommitted” has two after a protest vote campaign in Michigan.
