context_page_description: The 2020 California Democratic presidential primary took place in California, United States, on March 3, 2020, as one of 14 contests scheduled on Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election, following the South Carolina primary the weekend before. The California primary is a semi-closed primary, with the state awarding 494 delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of which 415 are pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
  The Associated Press declared Bernie Sanders the winner of the primary, improving on his polling average by 3%. The runner-up, Joe Biden, had a stronger than expected finish to match his Super Tuesday momentum.
