African-American Voters Boost Biden Super Tuesday
Black voters propel Biden to big wins in Virginia, NC, Alabama
Former Vice President Joe Biden is off to a strong Super Tuesday start after he was declared the winner of the Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama primaries by networks immediately as polls closed in both states.
Exit polls suggested Biden was bolstered by heavy support from African American voters, a development that had previously boosted him in South Carolina and portends well for his chances in other Southern states holding primaries Tuesday.
Polls had shown a tight race between Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Virginia and North Carolina recently.
But Biden’s big victory in South Carolina gave him a burst of momentum that could help blunt the advantage Sanders likely will have when polls close in California later tonight.
Biden was boosted by a string of endorsements from high-profile Virginians, including Sen. Tim Kaine (D), former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), and Democratic Reps. Bobby Scott, Jennifer Wexton and Don Beyer.
