Super Tuesday:14 US states head to the Democratic polls

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Super Tuesday:14 US states head to the Democratic polls

Voters across the US have put in their choice for the Democratic presidential nominee

Voters in fourteen US states have put in their choice for the Democratic presidential nominee, on what is known as "Super Tuesday". Journalist Erin Delmore tells us how crucial this day is in determining who will become the next US president. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates across the US, to combat the damage to the economy from coronavirus. The BBC’s Samira Hussain tells us how historic the move is and if it will cushion against economic blows resulting from the spread of the virus. Plus, we look at the surprising example of one small town in England that’s fighting the decline of the high street, harnessing the power of its local entrepreneurs. We discuss all this with Alison Schrager, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute in New York, and Madhavan Narayanan, freelance writer and former senior editor at Hindustan Times in Delhi.
