For the first time Tuesday, the Democratic primary contest is down to a two-man race — Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Tulsi Gabbard is still technically in the race, although she's only won two delegates so far and is barely registering in the polls.

According to the latest CBS News estimates, Sanders is only barely lagging Biden in the total delegate count. 

These six states are voting on Tuesday: Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Washington. The state everyone will be watching is Michigan, which Sanders won in 2016. But a Detroit News/WDIV-TV poll conducted in the days leading up to Super Tuesday showed Biden leading Sanders by seven points. It's also a crucial swing state for Democrats in the general election: President Trump won the state by just over 10,000 votes in 2016, becoming the first Republican to win the state since 1988.

In less than a week, Biden has managed to turn the campaign around, with a decisive win in South Carolina, endorsements from former rivals and a strong Super Tuesday. Going into this Tuesday's contests, Biden has the delegate lead, with 648 delegates to Sanders' 563. Gabbard has earned one delegate. 

Mr. Trump has accused Democrats of trying to rig the system against Sanders, and Sanders himself has been railing against the Democratic "establishment." 

"The Democrat establishment came together and crushed Bernie Sanders, AGAIN! Even the fact that Elizabeth Warren stayed in the race was devastating to Bernie and allowed Sleepy Joe to unthinkably win Massachusetts," Mr. Trump tweeted before Warren exited the race. "It was a perfect storm, with many good states remaining for Joe!"
