What Went Down On Super Tuesday
One place where Biden is doing especially well: the northern Virginia suburbs, which are full of white college-educated women who I would have guessed would lean toward Warren. Makes me wonder if some of them decided to strategically vote for Biden in that surge of late deciders.
Galen, who’s sitting next to me in our cluster around the TVs, just asked me if it’s possible that Biden could win Virginia by a larger margin than Hillary Clinton did in 2016 vs. Sanders. She won by 29 points; right now, Biden leads by about 33 points, so it’s definitely possible. Even if he falls short of Clinton’s margin, remember that Biden is doing this in a four-way race rather than the head-to-head matchup between Clinton and Sanders.
One more W in Biden’s column this evening. Polls have closed in Alabama, and ABC News projects that Biden will win the Alabama primary. Again, this isn’t a surprise. We gave him a 92 percent chance of wining the most votes there.
