On the Republican side, front-runner Donald Trump is leading in the majority of the GOP’s Super Tuesday states. Sen. Ted Cruz holds a substantial lead in his home state of Texas, which has 155 delegates up for grabs, more than any other Super Tuesday state. Alaska, Arkansas, and Minnesota are also competitive.
