At first glance, Joe Biden's current delegate lead doesn't look that imposing. But there are 3 reasons why Super Tuesday may have just given him a delegate lead that could be extremely difficult for Sen. Sanders to erase between now and the convention.
At first glance, Biden's delegate lead doesn't look that imposing. But there are three reasons Super Tuesday may have just given him a lead that could be extremely difficult for Sanders to erase by the July convention:
Yet, despite those millions of ballots, Sanders is on track to finish well behind Biden in the Super Tuesday delegate count. And Sanders won't have the advantage of huge pre-South Carolina early vote troves in any future contests. Even in Texas, where Sanders carried the early vote by a substantial margin, Biden was so dominant among Election Day voters that he carried the Lone Star state by 4 points.
3. Democratic voters could decide not to prolong the contest. In 2004, the last time Democrats were vying to beat an incumbent GOP president, John Kerry won a string of impressive February victories and primary voters decided to rally around the front-runner, effectively ending the race on Super Tuesday. This year, Democrats might be so desperate to close ranks to beat President Donald Trump that they increasingly coalesce around Biden.Next week's key contest is Michigan.
