Dunst’s celebrity endorsement for Sanders came as several Super Tuesday races were being called, including a victory for the senator in his home state of Vermont.

Biden was declared the winner in Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama, with exit polls suggesting he was bolstered by strong support from African American voters. 

Voters in other states, including California, which has 415 pledged delegates to allocate, were still casting ballots, with polls open in a handful of Western states. 

Sanders has received numerous celebrity endorsements, including from actors Danny DeVito and Mark Ruffalo and rapper Cardi B.
