Super Tuesday is important because whoever wins most of the states that day is most likely to become the Democratic presidential nominee.

That’s how much time is left before Super Tuesday — the day in March when Tennesseans and people in 14 other states and two jurisdictions will vote on the next nominees.

WPLN’s Sergio Martínez-Beltrán has been covering the Democratic candidates who have visited Tennessee and he says they are focusing more and more on what has been a reliably red state.
