The Democratic political establishment has begun to jump on the growing bandwagon of former Vice-President Joe Biden on the eve of the biggest day in the primary elections season.
Tuesday will be what is called ‘Super Tuesday’ when 14 states, including California, hold their primary elections. 1,357 delegates will be up for grabs in one day, accounting for nearly half of the total delegates awarded during the primaries. After Tuesday, the remaining 32 states represent the remaining 2,467 delegates.
California will allocate 415 delegates or 30% of Super Tuesday’s delegates. Political polls in California on Sunday showed Bernie Sanders leading with 34.3%, Joe Biden at 18%, Elizabeth Warren at 17.3%, and Michael Bloomberg at 10.5%.

The image captures the proud democrat socialist at the U.S. Capitol looking relaxed and carefree–like an uncle who just ate a second helping of Thanksgiving dinner and has now retired to the couch to watch the big game. The Week was the first to refer to Tío Bernie’s look as “grumpy chic.”
