With his unlikely romp across the Super Tuesday map, Joe Biden reshaped the 2020 Democratic primary — and got the two-person race against Bernie Sanders that seemed like a pipe dream a few days ago
And Elizabeth Warren’s argument to win the nomination in a contested convention lost steam as the senator performed far below expectations, including with her embarrassing third-place finish in her home state.Bernie Sanders claimed the biggest prize of the night, California, though with vote tallies still out, it was unclear how the delegate count there would shake out.
The sudden momentum driving Biden’s wave across the 14 states came after his decisive win in South Carolina, demonstrating he was the only moderate in a still-crowded field who appealed to African American voters. That led to quick exits by Pete Buttigieg then Amy Klobuchar, who along with Beto O’Rourke starred at a raucous, televised rally in Dallas.
As Sanders underperformed on Tuesday, pressure ramped up on Warren to drop out of the race. "Imagine if the progressives consolidated last night like the moderates consolidated, who would have won?" Rep. Ilhan Omar , a Sanders surrogate, wrote on Twitter. “Super Tuesday showed Biden really is the guy who builds the coalition and puts together the pieces of the Democratic Party. All the momentum is with Biden until the convention,” said Matt Angle, a Texas Democratic strategist.
“Our strategy for Super Tuesday and moving forward has always been focused around delegates. If you look at our media-buying, it was always focused on congressional districts,” said Anita Dunn, Biden’s top campaign adviser. “So we’re up in targeted districts in Mississippi and Missouri and we’re going there.”
