Joe Biden wins the states of New Jersey and Delaware. |
Sanders is a polarizing figure. He is a democratic socialist. He is an independent senator who caucuses with the Democratic Party. He and Sen. Angus King (I-ME) are the only two members who are independents.
The states of Delaware and New Jersey held their primaries on Tuesday and the results came in.
In the state of New Jersey, Biden trounces Sanders with 88% of the vote while Sanders earned 12% of the vote. The remaining candidates only managed to get 0.01% of the vote.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), a former Democratic presidential candidate bested the Sanders-backed candidate Lawrence Hamm who was the chairman of the People's Organization for Progress.
Booker ended his bid for the presidency in early 2020 and endorsed Biden.
In the state of Delaware, Biden won his state overwhelmingly. He won 91% of the vote while Sanders got 7% of the vote and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) got 2% of the vote.
Considered an easy win for the former vice president, Delaware is the state where Biden and his wife, former second lady and educator Dr. Jill Biden reside.
Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) is the current lawmaker from the state. She is from Wilmington, Delaware. She easily won her primary.
Biden already has enough delegates to become the Democratic presidential nominee.
Biden has 2,589 delegates while Sanders has only 1,100 delegates.
Trump has already obtained enough delegates to become the Republican presidential nominee.
