What Went Down On Super Tuesday

The post-South Carolina polls have suggested Biden is really strong 1. in the South and 2. with black voters (those facts are related, of course). So I’m not surprised Biden won easily in Virginia. But it suggests Sanders may be running into the same problems that cost him the nomination in 2016. If the black vote in the rest of the South resembles that of South Carolina, that’s really bad for Sanders.

Just as polls closed and Virginia was called for Biden, Rep. Spanberger, who flipped a Republican House seat near Richmond, has endorsed the former vice president. Not exactly going out on a limb.

Micah, I think the early Virginia call confirms what we thought we knew going into today — that Biden closed strong, particularly in Virginia. It’s an encouraging sign for the accuracy of those last-minute polls we got last night and this morning.
