Super Tuesday cheat sheet: Minnesota race at a glance
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}On Super Tuesday, the biggest day of the 2020 election cycle so far, Democrats in 14 states, American Samoa and abroad will cast their ballots for who they want to represent their party in the general election against President Trump. In just one day, 34 percent (1,357) of the pledged delegates for the Democratic National Convention will be assigned in what will likely be a make-or-break day for several presidential campaigns.
Here is a look at the state of the race in Minnesota.
Delegates at stake
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}There are 75 pledged delegates at stake in Minnesota's open primary, which distributes 49 of those delegates proportionally among the candidates based on the results from individual congressional districts and 26 based on the statewide vote total.
Minnesota does not allow 17-year-olds to vote in presidential primaries if they will be 18 by the time the general election is held in November, which is different from several other states.

Key endorsements
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who dropped out of the presidential race Monday to endorse Joe Biden, had virtually swept the contest for endorsements from Minnesota Democrats.
The popular senator's most high-profile endorsements came from former Vice President Walter Mondale, who she once interned for, Gov. Tim Walz and fellow U.S. Sen. Tina Smith.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders did manage two notable endorsements in Minnesota. He secured backing from Attorney General Keith Ellison and freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Key issues
One of the top union states in the U.S., Minnesota voters will likely be concerned with labor issues -- and by extension health care. Following his endorsement of Sanders, Ellison mentioned the senator's commitment to "working-class people" and "working families" in an interview with HuffPost.
