What Went Down In The Arizona, Florida And Illinois Primaries
The Associated Press is calling Illinois for Biden.
We now have partial returns in from seven Illinois counties, representing a mix of the Chicago suburbs and Downstate, and Biden is leading by more than 20 points everywhere, along with a 38-point advantage statewide. We don’t have anything in from Chicago or Cook County yet, which might actually be comparatively better for Sanders. But this isn’t looking very close.
Sarah, I’ll be watching Cook County, home to Chicago of course. It’s the biggest source of Democratic votes (and votes in general in Illinois), contributing 57 percent of the 2016 Democratic primary total. Boring answer, but if turnout is notably down there, it’ll be notably down overall.
