The big winner from Super Tuesday was former Vice President Joe Biden, who won nine of the 14 state competitions: Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

Of those, Texas was a key victory, as the Lone Star State has 228 delegates, with it having the second largest delegate count of all the Super Tuesday states.
