Takeaways

• The Democratic Party rallied around Joe Biden and it worked. Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar ended their presidential bids and joined prominent party leaders, such as Jim Clyburn and Harry Reid, in endorsing Biden. Biden replicated the overwhelming support he got from black voters in South Carolina across the American South and consolidated the support of college-educated professionals in the suburbs, including around Boston, Massachusetts, Dallas and Houston, Texas, and in Northern Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington DC.
• Sanders is down but not out. He will probably win around half the delegates in Texas and the majority of the delegates in California. He maintains a strong lead with young voters across the country and Latino voters in the West.
• Michael Bloomberg’s gamble did not pay off. He hoped to do well on Super Tuesday and consolidate the moderate vote. Voters preferred Biden.
