U.S. Election Series: Must- watch primaries on Tuesday

Tomorrow, six states, California, New Jersey, North Dakota, Montana, New Mexico, and South Dakota will go to primaries in choosing their nominees for the race to the White House. While the biggest focus is on California, which is the most populous state in the United States, with the biggest number of delegates on offer, big focus will also be on New Jersey and New Mexico.

Democratic side –

  • Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton will be looking to secure his outright nomination, who is just 28 delegates short and will be looking to prove that she has more appeal to the voters, especially Hispanic, who comprise large parts of both California and New Mexico’s population.

 

  • The second runner Bernie Sanders is far short of the magic number 2383 delegates, required to secure outright nominations however he will be looking to beat Hillary in terms of Pledged delegates, for which gap is much smaller, about 290. Sanders is looking for a win in California, which may lead to contested convention.

Republican side –

  • Donald Trump has already secured the Republican nomination, now he needs to show that his policies such as borders with Mexico and deportation of illegal immigrants, do not backfire in Hispanic States like California and New Mexico.
