Super Tuesday is here, and voters from 15 states and one U.S. territory are casting their ballots and making their voices heard.

Super Tuesday earned its nickname because it's the date most states hold their primaries and caucuses. That means it's also when the most delegates are at stake for presidential hopefuls fighting to earn their party's nomination.

Former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley are facing off in Republican races from California to Maine. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is fending off his Democratic challengers and trying to build momentum as he seeks a second term in office.
