Biden Scorches Sanders in 3 states, doubles delegate lead

Bernie Sanders has not cried mercy yet after Super Tuesday results that leave a dreary path forward in his 2020 bid for the presidency.

Joe Biden doubled his delegate lead over Sanders in Tuesday’s primaries, giving him a nearly insurmountable advantage after sweeping Florida, Illinois and Arizona.

In Florida, the nation’s biggest battleground state, leading by nearly 40 points, after coalescing the support of powerful local officials in the state. The former vice president similarly beat Sanders in Illinois, which was called a half-hour after polls closed.

Biden winning the Arizona primary, dashed Sanders’ hopes among Latino voters.  Both candidates are still in the race, despite Sanders saying he would bow out if he does not see  path forward.
