Former Vice President Joe Biden has won Florida's Democratic presidential primary, several media outlets are projecting.

With 76 percent of precincts reporting, Biden has 61.4 percent of the vote, well ahead of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who has 22.6 percent. Biden is winning all of the counties that have so far reported their results. Going into Tuesday's primaries, Biden was the clear favorite in several polls in Florida.
