Biden bats back Bloomberg in Tennessee

Joe Biden is projected to keep Michael Bloomberg at bay in Tennessee on Super Tuesday, proving that massive ad buys don’t always parlay into votes.

Biden, 77, earned 31% of the vote in the state, which overnight was lashed by a deadly tornado, with 24% of precincts reporting. The two-term vice president was followed by Bernie Sanders with 24% support and Bloomberg with 20%. Elizabeth Warren wasn’t viable at the time of publication, with only 9%.
