Joe Biden won the Kansas Democratic primary. |
Biden won 77% of the vote.
The former vice president has been expected to prevail in Saturday's vote and capture the majority of the state's delegates. Biden won 29 of the state's delegates and Sanders got 10.
Democratic leaders of the state wanted to hold an in-person polling back in March but that was pulled back after the COVID-19 pandemic sidelined a lot of social gatherings.
"Kansas Democrats made history in this election with record participation levels along with demonstrating how a vote-by-mail election can protect voters and our democracy, even in the most uncertain of times," said Kansas Democratic Party chairwoman Vicki Hiatt. "We are confident the enthusiasm and engagement seen during the 2020 primary will only continue to grow and translate into Democratic victories up and down the ballot in November."
All roads leads to Kansas. |
The other candidates on the ballot besides Biden and Sanders were Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Michael Bloomberg.
The Republicans cancelled their caucus in 2019 to keep Bill Weld, Mark Sanford and Joe Walsh from challenging Donald J. Trump.
Trump already has enough delegates to become their nominee.
