Projection: Joe Biden Wins Minnesota

March 3, 2020 2020 Elections, Democrats

The Associated Press reports:

Joe Biden has won Minnesota’s Democratic presidential primary. The state has 75 delegates at stake. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s abrupt withdrawal from the presidential race gave Bernie Sanders a sudden opportunity to lock up her home state on Super Tuesday.

Instead, Biden won the state after receiving Klobuchar’s endorsement. Sanders easily won Minnesota’s caucuses in 2016 and has a large and motivated progressive base in the state, offsetting Klobuchar’s presumed home-field advantage in a race that was increasingly seen as tight before she dropped out Monday.
