Final push for Democratic candidates in Maine ahead of Super Tuesday

Democratic presidential candidates will be campaigning in Maine up to and through Super Tuesday.

MAINE, USA — For the first time in 20 years, Mainers will vote in a presidential primary instead of a caucus and will be one of 14 states voting on Super Tuesday. 

Candidates are gearing up to try and gain some of Maine's 32 delegates. Four of the six candidates still in the race to be the country's Democratic nominee for president will have their campaigns canvassing or holding events across the state. 

Bernie Sanders will be holding a "Rock the Vote for Sanders" concert rally in Portland Monday, featuring the Mallet Brothers. It will be held at 6 p.m. at Port City Music Hall. On Monday, Sanders' campaign will also be canvassing in towns across the state. 

On Tuesday, the Sanders campaign will host a watch party at 8 p.m. at its Portland headquarter. Actress Susan Sarandon is expected to attend. 

The Mike Bloomberg and Elizabeth Warren campaigns were canvassing in Maine on Monday. 

Joe Biden, who won the South Carolina primary, and Tulsi Gabbard are the two candidates not hosting events or canvassing in Maine on Monday.

The field of active candidates in the democratic primary shrunk ahead of Super Tuesday. Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, and Businessman Tom Steyer all dropped out of the race. 

Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and Steyer will still be on Maine ballots, as candidates had to file to be on the ballot here back in December. Andrew Yang, Marianne Williamson, Deval Patrick, and Cory Booker are also candidates who have dropped out of the race but will be on the ballot in Maine.
