Joe Biden projected winner of Idaho Democratic primary


Former Vice President Joe Biden is the projected winner of the Idaho Democratic primary, the latest in a string of victories.
Biden won in Michigan, Mississippi, and Missouri on Tuesday, with the races in Washington too close to call and North Dakota too early to call. In Idaho, 90 percent of precincts have reported their results, and Biden has 48.3 percent of the vote compared to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with 42.6 percent. Sanders won Idaho in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.
