5 Takeaways From Tuesday's <br />Democratic Primaries 1. Joe Biden is in firm <br />control of the Democratic primary. While Biden struggled in the <br />first three contests, his performance in the past <br />two weeks has revealed him as the clear contender. 2. Bernie Sanders' struggles <br />with key demographics are solidifying. Older voters and voters of color <br />have lifted Biden. Younger voters haven't <br />shown up for Sanders as his campaign was hoping. 3. The Democratic Party <br />has made its decision. DNC officials and some top Democrats <br />seem to indicate that Biden is the assumed <br />nominee, suggesting that the rest of the contests <br />and debates should be canceled. 4. Sanders' 2020 race <br />is losing to his 2016 race. Many states he won in landslide victories <br />in 2016 have been close races in 2020. <br />Sanders also won Michigan in 2016, <br />losing to Biden this time. 5. Biden's success in Michigan hints at <br />the anti-Clinton sentiment in the state. President Donald Trump won <br />Michigan in the 2016 presidential <br />election, a state that Sanders won in the 2016 primary. Michigan choosing Biden <br />shows the 2016 loss there has less to do <br />with Sanders and more to do with Clinton.
