The odds are now overwhelmingly in Biden’s favor.

Former Vice President and resurgent Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden had a big day Tuesday, winning 9 of the 15 primary contests and hauling in hundreds of delegates, giving him a grand total of 467 and counting. That’s the biggest total in the rapidly dwindling Democratic field and gives Biden a more than 70-delegate lead over democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who’s earned 392 thus far (though more California delegates are coming). Adding to the “Joementum” is the decision by three relatively moderate candidates to drop out of the race and throw their support to Biden, the latest being Mike Bloomberg, who dropped out Wednesday morning after a sub-par Super Tuesday.
