Joe Biden takes a commanding lead in the Democratic presidential race after sweeping Florida, Illinois and Arizona on Tuesday night.
Florida, which has the fourth-largest number of delegates at stake of the entire year, significantly stretched Biden's lead after he won every single county in the state. In 2016, Sanders got blown out in Florida, but was at least able to win nine counties and a third of the delegates.
The former vice president's growing delegate lead makes a comeback by Sanders increasingly unlikely as the number of delegate-rich states on the calendar dwindles from this point on. Meanwhile, six future contests have so far been delayed due to the coronavirus outbreak, including the next two that had been set for later this month, Georgia and Puerto Rico.
