Joe Biden predicted to win every primary on 'Big Tuesday' in bitter blow to Bernie Sanders

As voters head to the polls in five states across the country for "Big Tuesday", the latest predictions show Joe Biden sweeping each state in what would be a devastating blow to Bernie Sanders and what appears to be his increasingly long odds of becoming the Democratic nominee.

While close, the primaries across the country could serve as a clarifying moment in the campaign, especially if Mr Biden pulls off decisive wins that cement his status as frontrunner.

The projected wins, as compiled by the website FiveThirtyEight, would include states that Mr Sanders won just four years ago against Hillary Clinton, who eventually became the nominee after a long nominating season that saw both candidates slogging it out until the end.

But Mr Biden may open up a wider lead on Tuesday, when Michigan, Washington, Missouri, Mississippi, Idaho and North Dakota head to the polls.

So today is called 'Big Tuesday' because it's not quite as large as large as 'Super Tuesday'?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

That's a caucus which gives Bernie a huge advantage since most people especially the older folks dont attend. He might win that one. A hollow victory.

It's a caucus only in that the process is run by the Party. There's a daylong voting period with a vote by mail option, and none of the public counting you saw in Iowa.

I had to look that one up.

It's interesting that some territories get to vote in the primaries but not the general. Well, not interesting... pernicious.

i wonder why "Americans Abroad" can vote in both primary and general, but Puerto Ricans living in Puerto Rico (that is, Americans living in US territory) can't. (Puerto Ricans CAN vote if they live in a state.)

with the biggest piece of the pie, but I don't have to have the whole pie. It would be awesome to win big, but I wouldn't dare make such bold predictions. Perhaps I'm still shell shocked from 2016.

That being said, I've never been so happy to have been proven wrong. I still can't believe Joe got a double digit win in MI, and won all the primaries. I said he wouldn't do it, but I'm eating crow today.
