Six states participate in the Democratic Presidential sweepstakes on Tuesday, March 10, with three states being the key states in the sense of the number of delegates at the Democratic National Convention in July.
These are Michigan (125), Washington State (89). and Missouri (68).
At this point, Joe Biden is favored over Bernie Sanders in all three crucial states, but of course, polls can be wrong.
If Sanders performs well, the nomination is clearly still up for grabs, but if Biden sweeps, then it becomes ever more difficult for Sanders to recover.
I’ve heard it referred to as a mini Super Tuesday.
New poll has Biden in a double digit lead over Sanders.

Polls have closed in Mississippi, Missouri, and North Dakota.
Biden is projected to win Mississippi.
Steve Kornacki showed some data out of Missouri. Sanders is losing white voters with no college degrees to Biden. Again, this shows that, perhaps some of Sanders votes in 2016 was more about some people being anti-Hillary and less about Sanders policies.
For the debate next week, because of the coronavirus spreading around, they aren’t going to have a studio audience and no spin room after the debate.
Biden has won Missouri.
Some early data coming in for Michigan. Biden is overperforming Hillary’s 2016 numbers.
Sounds like Biden is reviving the Obama coalition.
Biden is in a double digit lead so far in Michigan.
Biden has won Michigan!
