Six states have primaries today, including Washington where 19 people have died from the coronavirus. The virus shouldn't affect turnout, because Washington's a vote by mail state.

Tomorrow's the Michigan primary, and both former VP Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders have scored some big endorsements. Plus, one attendee of the Conservative Political Action Conference -- also attended by President Trump and other White House officials -- has now tested positive for the coronavirus. 

Senator Elizabeth Warren drops her bid for the nomination. Some folks in states that vote next Tuesday already voted by mail-in absentee -- and some for Warren -- but Michigan gives their voters the option to "spoil" a ballot, have it destroyed and replaced by their local clerk's office. 

After disappointing results for former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg on Super Tuesday, he dropped out of the race. Some voters in Texas faced extremely long lines and wait times to vote, due to high turnout.

Former VP Joe Biden carried eight states yesterday, and VT Sen. Bernie Sanders the other four, including California, the biggest delegate haul. Former Mayor Mike Bloomberg took American Samoa, but didn't do quite so well elsewhere.

It's Super Tuesday, and 15 states and territories vote today. MN Sen. Amy Klobuchar dropped out of the race yesterday, and she along with former candidates Pete Buttigieg and Beto O'Rourke endorsed former VP Joe Biden at a Dallas rally. 

Former VP Joe Biden won the South Carolina primary, by a wide margin. Businessman Tom Steyer and former South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg dropped out, ahead of Super Tuesday. And candidates joined marchers in Selma, AL to commemorate 55 years since police violently stopped voting rights demonstrators from crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge. 

Tomorrow are the South Carolina primaries, and former VP Joe Biden leads in the poll, followed by winner of the first three contests, Sen. Bernie Sanders and businessman Tom Steyer. Some Republican South Carolinians may vote for Sanders because they want closed primaries.

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn endorsed former VP Joe Biden, ahead of South Carolina's primaries. Super Tuesday states, including North Carolina, are also voting soon, but campaigning there is different.

Candidates took the stage in Charleston, South Carolina, ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primaries, but also ahead of next week's Super Tuesday. Former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg took some hits, but Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the national frontrunner, was the main target.  

Tonight's the last debate before the South Carolina primaries, but it's also the last before Super Tuesday, which includes California and its 494 delegates. 

The Nevada caucuses were Saturday, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders came out ahead by 25 points, and with 42 percent of the nonwhite vote. 

Tomorrow are the Nevada caucuses, and Nevada Democrats are hoping for them to run far more smoothly than the ones in Iowa. Candidates battle for that top spot and voting continues. 

Six candidates took the debate stage -- former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg for the first time last night in Las Vegas. He took lots of heat, but so did many of the candidates.  

Tonight's the Las Vegas debate, ahead of this weekend's Nevada caucuses. Some candidates are trying to regain the spotlight and others are trying to keep momentum. 

Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg is climbing national polls, but facing much more scrutiny than he had in the early states, which he skipped. Texas is going to come into play for him -- as the state with the second-largest Super Tuesday trove of delegates. 

Nevada's experiment with early caucusing is underway until tomorrow. Some candidates plus some Nevada Culinary Workers Union Local 226 members oppose Medicare for All, but Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders defends it, with a study just published making the case for it. 

The Nevada Culinary Workers Union has declined to endorse a candidate ahead of the start of early voting tomorrow. Former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg has been focused on Super Tuesday, but other candidates are now joining him in those 14 states, plus American Samoa and "Democrats Abroad."

Former MA Governor Deval Patrick dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination, and Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price resigned after chaotic result releases in Iowa. Turnout in New Hampshire reached record high levels, but the youth turnout wasn't quite as high as expected. 

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary, with former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg just points behind. Minn. Sen. Amy Klobuchar was a strong third, getting more votes than former VP Joe Biden and Mass. Sen. Elizabeth Warren combined.

Today's the New Hampshire primary. Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders seem to be favorites, and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is in third place in some polls.

Former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh drops out of the GOP primary, and says he'll vote Democrat if Trump wins the nomination. Plus, seven Democratic candidates took the stage at the New Hampshire ABC News debate Friday night.  

Many Iowans experienced well-run caucuses, but the results weren't, and Iowa Democrats say chaos was partially caused by caused by calls from Trump supporters clogging the lines. Plus, tonight's the New Hampshire debate, though many people are talking about the rule-change for Nevada's debate. 

On to New Hampshire, after late results from the Iowa caucuses, President Trump's State of the Union, and the Senate vote to acquit the president on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. 

The Iowa Democratic Party released partial results yesterday, but candidates are on to New Hampshire. Meanwhile, President Trump gave the state of the union and today the Senate votes whether to remove him.
