JOE BIDEN HAS WON MICHIGAN and this primary race is over
Thanks to Michigan being in two time zones, we’ve been seeing voting results coming in for an hour, even before the polls closed in the second time zone. Now that all of the polls are finally closed, MSNBC just declared Joe Biden the winner of Michigan.
So there you have it. This primary race is over. Joe Biden already won Mississippi and Missouri in blowouts today. Michigan was Bernie Sanders’ only hope of putting in enough of a showing to keep hope alive for him. Now that Sanders has lost Michigan โ and it apparently wasn’t all that close โ it’s over for him. If he remains in the race another week, he’ll get blown out in Florida.
The move is for Bernie Sanders to make. He has a history of trying to remain in races for long after he’s already realistically out of contention. But Sanders has made clear that taking down Donald Trump is his top priority. Hopefully he’ll do the right thing and drop out โ if not this week, then next week.
