C. , im norah odonnell. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im tom hanson. Voters in 14 states went to the polls in a super tuesday primary election thats already shaking up the race for the democratic president ial nomination. Norah odonnell and the cbs news election unit bring you up to speed. This super tuesday and the polls have just closed in california, making its super tuesday debut, offering 415 democratic delegates. That is the biggest prize of not only the night, of the year. And cb news estimates the race there is leaning toward Bernie Sanders. But the big story of the night thus far is joe bidens incredible comeback. As recently as last week, his campaign was on life support. After losses in iowa, New Hampshire and nevada, then he won the South Carolina primary on saturday. Picked up a number ofements. Tt mm t propel him to this. States won tonight . Seven states. Virginia. North carolina. Alabama. Oklahoma. Arkansas. Minnesota and tennessee. But dont count Bernie Sanders out. He won three states. Colorado, utah and his home state of vermont. And as we said, california, the biggest delegate prize of all, is leaning his way. There are still a couple of states yet to call. You can see texas there as well. But heres where we stand right now. You need 1,991 to be nominated, win the democratic nomination. At this hour biden is leading. Opening up his first lead of this entire primary campaign with 331 delegates, Bernie Sanders at 269. Elizabeth warren, who is still in this trai yor buttigieg who dropped out over the weekend. Where do we stand . We have 77yearold joe biden battling 78yearold Bernie Sanders for the right to challenge 73yearold donald trump. You can call it the septagenarian sweepstakes. Thats hard to say. Say that three times. The Sanders Campaign wants voters to have more time to cast their ballots in los angeles. We have just learned that he has filed a request with the courts to give voters more time, more time to do that. For an update lets go to nancy cordes. Nancy . Reporter nancy, this is a new wrinkle in california. They are filing an emergency injunction to k the polls n angeles county for two more hours. They say they heard many complaints of hours long lines and voting problems. They want a judge to grant two more hours to anyone who wants to vote. We dont know what the judge is going to do. We do know that a l. A. County executive has told cbs news that anyone who was in line by 8 00 p. M. Pacific time will be allowed to vote. What we dont know now, norah, is how this will affect our ability to project the race in california. Obviously l. A. County, one of the most populist counties, so this could have a big impact. Here in vermont, if Bernie Sanders is disappointed at all by the outcome of the races that have been projected so far, he didnt show it. In fact, in his speech he said that hes confident that he is going to win the democratic nomination. One thing we didnt hear him say, norah, is that this was a huge night, as he often likes to say. It certainly wasnt as huge as he had been predicting even a couple of days ago. All right, nancy cordes there in vermont with senator Bernie Sanders. And what a turn around tonight for joe biden. His win in South Carolina, racking up those endorsements from others propelled this momentum today.
