Joe Biden projected to win Michigan, Mississippi, & Missouri Democratic primaries

Joe Biden is projected to have won the Michigan, Mississippi, and Missouri Democratic presidential primaries, AP and NBC News were among the first to publish tonight. North Dakota is too early to call at the time of this blog post.

The votes are still being counted in all states.

Both Biden and his fellow candidate, and primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, canceled in-person campaign events due to coronavirus.

My model is seeing a 12 point margin for Biden right now...

Biden's margin likely to climb well into the double digits when Detroit/Wayne Co. starts reporting in earnest.

"With his victories tonight in Michigan, Missouri, and Mississippi, Joe Biden is set to be the nominee of the Democratic party-barring some unfathomable turn of events far more drastic than what was required 17 days ago." @timodc
