Breaking News Today: JOE BIDEN continued to command of Democratic race on Super Tuesday II Joe Biden is marching to the Democratic presidential nomination.
The former vice president handily defeated Bernie Sanders on Tuesday in Michigan's primary -- halting the Vermont senator's hopes of a comeback in the state where he'd stunned Hillary Clinton four years ago.
Biden also notched massive wins in Idaho, Mississippi and Missouri. North Dakota and Washington hadn't been called yet -- but as of early Wednesday, Biden was in a tight race with Sanders in Washington, another state Sanders needed to win.
Tuesday marked a clear turning point in the Democratic race. Biden is building a powerful coalition of African Americans, suburbanites and rural white voters who previously backed Sanders, while Sanders is failing to produce the electorate-changing turnout of young voters that he's promised. Democratic figures, from one-time 2020 candidate Andrew Yang to the party's biggest super PAC, Priorities USA, lined up behind Biden after his Michigan win.
Biden and Sanders are scheduled to debate Sunday night in Arizona. But Sanders is entering a brutal stretch, with primaries next week in Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio -- all states he lost in 2016. There's also the reality that coronavirus could crowd Sanders out of national headlines and make it impossible for him to leverage something that separates him from Biden: his ability to turn out massive crowds at rallies. It all makes a comeback even more difficult.
