Washington Post: “Propelled in part by a sweep of Southern states with large black voting populations, Clinton is now on a path toward a permanent lead among delegates that will be hard for Sanders to surmount. Although Sanders held his own by winning four of 11 states Tuesday, Clinton’s performance dramatically widened her lead as she tries to put to rest any lingering doubts over her shaky start in the 2016 voting.”

Politico: ” No doubt about it, Sanders’ presidential hopes are on life support after a string of big blowouts in the South, but it’s a gold-plated, diamond studded ventilator thanks to his defeat-defying online fundraising operation.”

USA Today: “Six New Jersey newspapers issued a joint editorial Tuesday calling on Gov. Chris Christie to resign in the wake of his failed presidential campaign and his subsequent endorsement of rival Donald Trump.”

Democrats:

• Hillary Clinton wins in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
• Bernie Sanders wins in Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Vermont.

Republicans:

• Donald Trump wins in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.
• Ted Cruz wins in Alaska, Oklahoma and Texas.
• Marco Rubio wins in Minnesota.

Of course, winning states isn’t nearly as important as the delegate tally.

Donald Trump has apparently called a press conference at 9 p.m. ET — right in the middle of Super Tuesday primary results.

It’s going to be a very busy night!
