Joe Biden was projected to win Mississippi’s primary on Tuesday, an early victory as a half-dozen states held primary contests that will determine if he can establish a wider delegate lead ov…
The five other states holding presidential contests are Michigan, Idaho, Missouri, Washington state and North Dakota. A total of 352 delegates were at stake.
The news networks covered the primaries with an emphasis on the impact of the coronavirus on the campaigns and on turnout. Just hours before the first polls closed, Sanders and Biden canceled planned rallies in Cleveland out of concerns over the spread of the virus. Biden planned to instead address the media at an event in Philadelphia, where his campaign is based, leaving CNN and other networks to report from the empty rally venue.
Biden leads Sanders in the delegate count, 720-640, according to FiveThirtyEight, with 1,991 delegates needed for a majority. CNN called Biden the winner of Mississippi right as polls closed at 8 p.m. ET. The screen initially flashed a photo of Sanders winning the state, but Wolf Blitzer quickly called the correct projected winner.
Biden’s projected victory in Mississippi is not a surprise, as he has also won other southern states including Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina, Texas and South Carolina.
