He says “character” is on the ballot int he fall. He says his campaign is taking off. He thanks Sanders and his supporters for their “passion” and “tireless energy.” He says they share a “common goal” of beating Trump.

The math is now clear. Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee for President and @prioritiesUSA is going to do everything we can to help him defeat Donald Trump in November. I hope others will join us in the fight.

8:55 PM: Clyburn reportedly wants to shut it down for Biden because prolonging primary increases chances Gaffe Machine Biden will do or say something crazy, plagiarize, or make stuff up out of thin air. He reportedly wants the DNC to cancel all of the debates as well.
NEW: House Majority Whip James Clyburn tells NPR if Bernie Sanders doesn’t win any states tonight, the Democratic National Committee should “shut this primary down” and “cancel the rest of these debates.” https://t.co/qdk7LADWXk pic.twitter.com/ZxbEOb6hPl
— NPR Politics (@nprpolitics) March 11, 2020
Rep. Clyburn on NPR just now: “I think when the night is over, Joe Biden will be the prohibitive favorite to win the Democratic nomination… If the night ends the way it has begun” it’s time to “shut this primary down,” meaning the DNC should “step in” and cancel future debates.
— Miles Parks (@MilesParks) March 11, 2020
He says prolonging the primary process only makes it more likely that the favorite, Biden in his eyes, “gets himself into trouble” and hurts himself for the general election

8:50 PM: Dem base all-in for Biden:
Black voters over 60 years old in Mississippi are virtually unanimous via @CNN exit polls:
Biden 96% (!)
Sanders 3%
Others 1%— Ryan Struyk (@ryanstruyk) March 11, 2020
8:35 PM: Michigan: Some early calls for Biden, but all polls in the state don’t close until 9 PM.
I’ve seen enough: Joe Biden wins the Michigan primary.

Pretty straightforward story in Michigan: Biden doing better than Clinton just about everywhere. Won’t be a race call until all the polls are closed, but at this rate it wouldn’t surprise me if there wound up being enough for a call at that point

8:09 PM: Interesting if this holds:
Sanders losing among white, non-college voters in MO, per exit poll so far.

8:02 PM: Biden projected to win Missouri:
The polls close in Mississippi and Missouri, and AP immediately calls both states for Joe Biden. Margins will matter for delegates.
— Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) March 11, 2020
Remember, Missouri was decided by a quarter of a point in 2016. If it’s already being called at 8:02 that’s very bad for Sanders. https://t.co/CNY7zRAuwW

8:00 PM: Biden projected to win Mississippi:
based on analysis of exit polls, @ABC projects Joe Biden will win the Mississippi Democratic primary. No projection in Missouri yet, but Biden is leading Bernie Sanders there.
— Rick Klein (@rickklein) March 11, 2020
Mississippi has the highest percentage of black voters out of any state. NBC News exit polls report 84% of African American voters backed Biden, 13% Sanders.
— Emma Kinery (@EmmaKinery) March 11, 2020
When you’re losing the African-American vote by 71% in any state, you’re…not competitive in a Democratic primary.

7:45 PM: Sanders campaign and allies on long lines in Michigan:
Michiganders — just 30 minutes before the polls close! If you’re in line by 8pm they have to let you vote. Go now! Those in charge are hoping you won’t vote— and if you do, that you don’t vote for Bernie. Now is the time for change. Dump Trump! Create Medicare for All! Bernie!
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) March 10, 2020
At a time when Democrats correctly attack Republicans for voter suppression, to see voters standing in long lines for hours in Michigan and around America is an outrage. Election officials must address these problems immediately, and if necessary, keep polling places open longer.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) March 10, 2020
7:30 PM: The first polls will close at the top of the hour, and Biden is reportedly preparing remarks about the coronavirus that he will deliver in Philadelphia this evening. Biden’s challenge will be to not stick his foot in his mouth or randomly wing parts of the speech to make voters trust him less. That’s Trump’s challenge as well.
