Breaking: Biden Builds on Super Tuesday Momentum With Big Win in Michigan Primary

One week after his dominant Super Tuesday performance, former Vice President Joe Biden built on his existing momentum by besting Senator Bernie Sanders in the Michigan Democratic primary.

Biden led Sanders by over ten points with over 50 percent of the total vote in, and multiple networks called the contest for Biden shortly after 9p.m.

Exit polls showed a sharp age divide between the two candidates. Biden continued his recent trajectory, winning the vast majority of older and black voters.

Michigan exit polls:

Sanders – 82% voters under 30

voters 65 and over were 23% of those voting;
voters under 30 were 15% of those voting
