Joe Biden wins the 2020 Arkansas Democratic presidential primary

According to the Associated Press, former Vice President Joe Biden has won the 2020 Arkansas Democratic presidential primary on Super Tuesday.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Joe Biden has won the 2020 Arkansas Democratic presidential primary, according to the Associated Press.

Both Senator Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg dropped out of the race days before Super Tuesday and endorsed Biden.

Bloomberg, Klobuchar and Warren all visited Arkansas before Super Tuesday hoping to secure more voters.

Before Super Tuesday, Sanders had the most delegates with 60 with Biden closely behind with 54. The most delegates to gain on Super Tuesday come from California, where 415 delegates are up for grabs. A candidate will need to get 15% of the votes to achieve viability in California and get a share of the delegates statewide.
