WASHINGTON (AP) - Joe Biden went into Tuesday's primaries riding a wave of voter confidence about his chances of victory in November - and that propelled him to wins in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi.
About 60 percent of Missouri Democrats chose Biden over his chief rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who received about 35 percent of the vote.
As of early Wednesday, Biden had been declared the winner in Missouri, Idaho, Michigan and Mississippi, according to the New York Times. Sanders was the presumed winner in North Dakota and Washington was too close to call.
