Bernie Sanders wins North Dakota, his first victory in Tuesday's primaries
Former Vice President Joe Biden struck a conciliatory tone Tuesday in declaring victories in primaries against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi, according to an Associated Press analysis of voter surveys.
Three other states were also voting Tuesday: Washington state and Idaho were also holding primaries, and North Dakota held caucuses. Then on Tuesday, Sanders suffered perhaps the biggest blow: Michigan is projected to go big for Biden four years after the Wolverine State gave Sanders arguably his most prized victory in 2016.It hasn’t been all bad for Sanders, who won Nevada and California this cycle after losing them to Clinton in 2016.
The win extended Biden’s lead against Sanders for the Democratic nomination to challenge President Donald Trump. Both candidates looked to Michigan to signal how they would perform across the industrial Midwest, before Ohio and Illinois vote March 17, Wisconsin on April 7 and Pennsylvania on April 28.
“Michigan is not going to forget,” Granholm told CNN. “We were on our knees and Joe Biden picked us up and carried us on his shoulders.”Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, said the president is on an unstoppable drive toward re-election, no matter who is the Democratic nominee. After tonight's early results, though, with Biden projected to win Missouri, Mississippi, and Michigan, the group said Sanders'"path to the nomination is no longer viable."The chairman of Priorities USA, a large Democratic super PAC with the goal of defeating President Donald Trump, said Tuesday night that they believe the former Vice President will be the nominee, and they are backing him.“The math is now clear.
“That work expands bigly tomorrow as we will be ALL IN to elect Joe Biden as our next President,” the tweet continued. Age also played a role. Sanders, a Democratic socialist, built his revolutionary campaign on younger voters. The candidates divided voters who are 18 to 29 years old in Mississippi, with Biden supported by 48% and Sanders by 44%. But Sanders beat Biden among younger voters in Missouri by 76% to 19%.
