Super Tuesday has arrived as Democrats in 14 states cast their votes for who should be the party’s nominee to take on Donald Trump in November.

Late polling – somewhat skewed by the sudden withdrawal of Tom Steyer, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar in the wake of Saturday’s South Carolina primary – places Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden in a tight two-horse race, with the former tipped to win California and the latter Texas.
