Biden ready to knock out Sanders: Latest primary updates

Tuesday’s primary contests will either cement Joe Biden’s wide path to the Democratic presidential nomination or give Bernie Sanders some hope of catching up to his lead.

Michigan is the biggest contest of the day. Without a win there, it will be difficult for the Vermont senator to forge a path to the nomination. The former vice president had double-digit leads in state polls on Monday. Sanders has a glimmer of hope in that he won Michigan’s primary in an upset in 2016 after polls showed Hillary Clinton more than 20 points ahead of him. Democratic voters on Tuesday will show whether there is any appetite for another drawn-out primary fight between an establishment figure and a socialist candidate.
