Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden left main rival Bernie Sanders no chance for a dignified exit from a six-state regional primary yesterday. Sanders’ defeat was crushing, especially after a stunning bout against Biden and other major contenders in the March 3 Super Tuesday presidential primaries in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Democrats abroad. Yesterday’s pared-down matchup in six states–Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Idaho, North Dakota and Washington state–saw Biden reverse Sanders’ good fortune.
What happened, and what happens to Sanders’ campaign now? Leid Stories listeners advance their theories.
