Dave Olson Congressional Committee issued the following announcement on March 4.
Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. won primaries in Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. Senator Bernie Sanders won his home state, Vermont, and Colorado and Utah. Former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York won the caucuses in American Samoa.
The Associated Press called California, the biggest delegate prize of the night, for Mr. Sanders. The primary in Maine has not been called.
Remember: The number to watch is delegates — not votes. That total will not be available until votes are counted in California, which could take quite a while.
Mr. Sanders focused his primary-night remarks on attacking Mr. Biden’s record and fund-raising from large donors, saying, “you cannot beat Trump with the same old, same old kind of politics.” Mr. Biden hit back: “People are talking about a revolution, we started a movement,” saying his campaign better reflected the country’s diversity.
As she struggled to amass delegates, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts lost her home state. Addressing supporters in Detroit before polls closed, Ms. Warren dismissed concerns about electability, urging voters to “cast the vote that will make you proud.”
Mr. Bloomberg, speaking in West Palm Beach, Fla., indicated that he did not anticipate winning a large number of delegates tonight. He plans to huddle with aides tomorrow and decide his path forward in the race.
Mr. Biden’s victories have come on the strength of his support among black voters, older voters, and suburbanites, according to exit polls. Mr. Sanders has dominated with younger voters and Latinos.
