Biden projected to win Maine primary in 10th win of Super Tuesday
Former Vice President Joe Biden has picked up one more Super Tuesday victory.
Biden is projected to win the Democratic primary in Maine, The Associated Press, ABC News, and CNN reported on Wednesday afternoon.
This is the 10th Super Tuesday state Biden was projected to win after Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), meanwhile, picked up wins in Colorado, Utah, and Vermont, and The Associated Press has also projected a win for him in California, though some sources have not yet called the state.
