Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: NY, OH, MI, NJ, PA, FL, IL; This is far from over [View all]Jarqui
(10,123 posts)38. Let's see ...
Sanders lost these states badly or significantly to Clinton:
NY, OH, NJ, GA, FL, PA
He lost IL slightly to Clinton
The only state of that bunch Sanders won against Clinton was MI - in a rust belt that has a bunch of hate for the Clintons due to NAFTA.There's only one poll that has Sanders ahead in MI that was taken before Biden's surge.
In poll of polls taken before Biden's surge, Biden leads Sanders in FL, OH, PA, NJ, GA & MI
There is one lone poll taken before Biden's surge with Sanders ahead in IL
PA is the state Biden was born (Scranton) and initially raised in.
So I do not see where the great green pastures are for Sanders to make up ground on Biden with those states.
Looks like wishful thinking.

Just eyeing it, Biden will probably win *at least* four to five of those states...
