WASHINGTON 

Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders is projected to handily win California, which boasts more delegates than any other state, on Super Tuesday as former Vice President Joe Biden racked up a series of wins across the American South and Midwest. 

Sanders Tuesday evening took his home state of Vermont, as well as Colorado and Utah, according to projections made by Fox News. But he looks set to importantly continue to seize on a wave of momentum among Latino Americans with his project win in California, and a strong showing in Texas where he is tightly contesting the vote with Biden.
