As the 2020 United States presidential election heats up, The Circus returns with its fifth season, following the campaigns on both sides of the aisle. In season 5 episode 7, titled "Super Duper Tuesday," the hosts are on the ground in California as the Golden State prepares for its primary election, the biggest prize of the night with 416 delegates up for grabs. Meanwhile, other states are also holding their primaries on this crucial day, including Texas, North Carolina, and Virginia.

The episode features behind-the-scenes access to the candidates and their campaigns, providing viewers with insight into the strategies being employed by each candidate. As the hosts report from rallies and events, they analyze the candidates' speeches, polls, fundraising, and endorsements. The episode explores how candidates are targeting different demographics and regions, such as rural voters, suburbanites, and African Americans, to secure victories in key states.

In California, the hosts are particularly focused on Senator Bernie Sanders, who is hoping to win big in the liberal stronghold and gain momentum for his progressive campaign. The Circus examines Sanders' platform, including his proposals for Medicare for All, free college tuition, and the Green New Deal. However, the episode also delves into the criticisms of Sanders' policies and his ability to unite the Democratic Party.

The episode also covers former Vice President Joe Biden, who is seeking to maintain his newfound momentum after winning several primaries in the previous week. The hosts follow Biden as he campaigns in Texas, a key state for his campaign, and Virginia, where he hopes to appeal to African American voters. The Circus analyzes Biden's messaging, which focuses on unity, restoration of the soul of the nation, and defeating President Trump.

The Circus also covers Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is struggling to gain traction after disappointing primary results in earlier states. The hosts discuss Warren's platform, which includes plans for a wealth tax, universal childcare, and breaking up big tech companies. The episode examines the challenges facing Warren's campaign, including her poor showing in Iowa and New Hampshire and her inability to win over progressive voters from Sanders.

Meanwhile, the episode explores the fallout from former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's poor performance in the previous week's debate. The Circus examines how Bloomberg's campaign is responding to the setback and whether his vast spending on ads and ground game can still propel him to victory.

Throughout the episode, The Circus analyzes the implications of the Super Tuesday results for the Democratic primary and general election. The hosts discuss how the outcomes could impact the delegate count, the viability of the candidates' campaigns, and the eventual nominee's ability to defeat President Trump in November.

With its in-depth reporting, interviews with political insiders and strategists, and behind-the-scenes access to the candidates, The Circus provides viewers with a comprehensive look at one of the most consequential elections in recent history. Season 5 episode 7, "Super Duper Tuesday," is no exception, delving into the critical primary election day and its implications for the rest of the campaign.
