Bernie Sanders projected to win California

Bernie Sanders has won California and Utah.

With 6% of the votes counted, the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist owns 27.5% of the vote, with Bloomberg–who will reportedly reassess his candidacy after a disappointed Super Tuesday–currently occupying second place with 19.7% of the Golden State’s vote.

Biden, whose strong Super Tuesday now includes victories in Massachusetts and Minnesota, sits third in the California primary at 17.4%. Nevertheless, Biden remains eight percentage points ahead of Sanders in Minnesota (77% reported) and 6.2 percentage points ahead of Sanders in Massachusetts (75% reporting), blunting the blow of a resounding Sanders victory in California.

Warren’s campaign continues to flounder, with the Massachusetts Senator finishing a distant third in her home state. With Biden and Sanders pulling away in the delegate count, a Warren nomination is now a mathematic improbability.

Per CBS, the California primary currently stands as listed:

Bernie Sanders		–	26.8%	163,570
Michael Bloomberg		–	19.5%	118,851
Joe Biden		–	17.5%	106,912
Pete Buttigieg		–	11.3%	69,057
Elizabeth Warren		–	10.9%	66,659
Amy Klobuchar		–	5.8%	35,523
Tom Steyer		–	4.8%	29,160
Andrew Yang		–	1.4%	8,301
Tulsi Gabbard		–	0.8%	4,957
Julian Castro		–	0.2%	1,464

Sanders also currently holds a narrow lead in Texas, holding 28.7% of the vote compared to Biden’s 22%. Bloomberg sits third at 17.1% while Warren has claimed 12% of the vote.

The Maine Democratic Primary is also too close to call, with Sanders earning 33.2% of the vote against Biden’s 33.1% and Warren’s 17.2%. Maine has reported 66% of the votes.
