Another string of Tuesday night wins — including in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi — has put Biden in prime position to be the Democratic nominee, and left Bernie Sanders in need of a miracle…
For Sanders, who did not speak publicly after Tuesday’s results, the second straight Tuesday loss means falling further behind Biden and with few options for winning the nomination. Thedoes not have winner-take-all states , meaning that even if Sanders wins upcoming states, he’ll be fighting an uphill battle to close the delegate gap. He came into Tuesday night down by more than 100 delegates. He’ll end Tuesday down by far more.
Sanders and Biden are slated to debate Sunday night, but there are few bright spots ahead for Sanders. In Florida, where voters next week will allocate the state’s 219 delegates next week, Biden leads by more than 35 percentage points. If that polling lead translates into a primary-day victory, Biden will have all but won a nomination battle that lasted two years and included two-dozen candidates — what was, at one time, the most diverse primary field in history.
In the end, however, it appears the a 77-year-old white man — one with tremendous support among African American voters — will be the Democratic party’s 2020 nominee. He’d face incumbent President Donald Trump, who was impeached for using his office to pressure the government of Ukraine to announce an investigation into Biden and his son, Hunter. If Biden were to lose, Trump would win a second term that would extend through January, 2025.
