Joe Biden makes a comeback, winning at least nine states

(Patria) – US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has regained his old glory after an initial series of failures.

Joe Biden (77) won in at least nine states on the so-called Super Tuesday, when several US states simultaneously hold party elections for their presidential candidate.

With generous support from the African-American population, moderate and older voters, Biden won in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, and one of the two most populous states - Texas.

The outcome of the Democratic primaries will most likely soon be narrowed down to two rivals – Biden and Bernie Sanders, who led until the situation turned in Biden's favor.

The sharpening of the race between the two candidates is evident from Sanders' statement in Vermont, where he (without naming names) clearly criticized Biden for his vote in favor of the Iraq War in 2002, as well as for supporting global trade deals that Sanders strongly opposes.

US Republicans are also choosing a candidate, with current president Donald Trump not being challenged at all; in fact, some states have canceled elections in Trump's favor.

Bernie Sanders (78), who was leading when the elections first began, won in his home state of Vermont on Tuesday, as well as in Utah, Colorado, and California, but it remains to be seen how much Tuesday's losses will affect his final outcome.

The former Vice President during President Barack Obama's administration's sudden rise began with a major victory in South Carolina last weekend. Before that, he showed extremely poor results, particularly in the states of Iowa and New Hampshire, which are significant indicators of further developments.

Polls showed that Biden won 72% of the African-American vote in Alabama, which is also a significant indicator of national success. In North Carolina as well, half of the African-American population supported Biden, while a quarter voted for Sanders.

Meanwhile, former New York City Mayor and billionaire Mike Bloomberg won only in American Samoa, despite outspending all other candidates on election marketing, investing more than half a billion US dollars just on advertising.

Senator Elizabeth Warren's campaign has been called into question after she lost in her home state of Massachusetts – where Joe Biden won, Bernie Sanders came in second, and Warren only third.

Sanders won in the most populous state of California (415 delegates), making the race for the Democratic presidential candidate even more uncertain. He thanked voters via Twitter:

- Thank you, California! You have shown that America is ready for a government and economy that work for all of us, not just the 1%.

The elections continue on March 10 in the states of Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, and Washington.
