Biden wins West Virginia primary
Former Vice President Joe Biden won the West Virginia primary Tuesday as he continues to amass delegates ahead of his formal nomination as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
Biden defeated Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who suspended his campaign earlier this year and endorsed the former vice president. Biden was leading Sanders 67 percent to 15 percent with 3 percent of precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press.
West Virginia, a Republican stronghold, will provide 28 delegates.
The Associated Press last week projected Biden had clinched more than the 1,991 delegates needed for the Democratic nomination.
