Since ABC News has now called Texas for Biden, we can dig into the crosstabs of the preliminary exit poll. And what they show is that Texas really exemplifies how much Biden’s and Sanders’s support differs by age and race — especially age. Sanders has a huge lead among white and Hispanic voters under 45, while Biden does well among black voters over 30. Biden also leads among white voters over 45, but by less, and Hispanic voters over 45 are more evenly divided between the two.
