بايدن يتقدم أكثر على ساندرز

By Jordi Bou

March 11, 2020 - Joe Biden has scored decisive primary victories in Michigan and three other states, cementing his position as front-runner in the race to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Biden’s wins in Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi and Idaho were powered by a broad coalition of supporters, including women, African Americans, those with and without college degrees, older voters, union members and all but the very liberal, according to exit polls by Edison Research.

Two other states, Washington and North Dakota, were still too close to call, but the results narrowed the path forward for Sanders, 78, who had hoped for an upset win in Michigan to keep his White House hopes alive.

To secure the nomination, a candidate needs the support of 1,991 delegates. Before Tuesday's vote, Mr Biden had 648 to Mr Sanders' 563.
