Primary Wins Give Joe Biden Commanding Edge In US Democratic Race

Democratic voters turned out in droves on Tuesday for primaries in six states aimed at clearing up the question of who will go up against President Donald Trump in November – game-changer Bernie Sanders or the status quo candidate, Joe Biden.

Ultimately, Democratic voters opted for Biden, raising the question of whether Sanders will suspend his campaign.

While the exact delegate counts will take days to tally, Biden won the popular vote in Michigan, Missouri, and Mississippi. Results from the western states – Idaho, Washington, and North Dakota – were still outstanding at 10pm Eastern time (00:20 GMT on Wednesday).

Exit polls indicated that a pattern established in earlier states continued on Tuesday, with younger voters and Muslims opting for Sanders and older voters, along with African Americans and suburbanites, turning out for Biden. Voters told pollsters that one of their primary motivations was finding a candidate who can defeat Trump in the general election.
