What Went Down In Michigan, Washington And Other Democratic Primaries

It’s very striking how quickly things are starting to wrap up. I think a lot of voters have just been exhausted by this process, and they don’t see the primary as the battle they want to be waging — the real fight for them is against Trump.

This tweet from Guy Cecil, chair of Priorities USA (one of the biggest Democratic super PACs and a longtime party strategist) is pretty telling. The party establishment is anti-Sanders, wants to focus on Trump and this will be a problem for the Vermont senator in the weeks ahead. Sanders needs to win at least one state tonight and probably two to avoid a chorus of people urging him to quit.

While Michigan has been called for Biden, Sanders is still likely to pick up a decent share of the state’s 125 delegates. Based on partial results in 10 of Michigan’s 14 congressional districts (accounting for 52 delegates — plus 43 awarded based on statewide results), Biden would get 55 delegates and Sanders would get 40.
