Biden wins Virginia. Bernie wins Vermont.

And now we wait for North Carolina at 7:30.
Biden wins North Carolina.

Race called at poll closing.

And now we wait for: Alabama, Maine, Mass and Oklahoma at 8 pm EST.
Biden wins Alabama.

Maine, Massachusetts and Oklahoma “too early to call”
Arkansas declared “too early to call”

And now we wait for Colorado, Minnesota and Texas at 9 pm EST.
Texas: too early to call
Colorado: too early to call
Tennessee: too early to call
Oklahoma: Biden leading. Too early to call.
Awaiting Minnesota.

And now we wait for Utah at 10 pm EST
Update:

Per MSNBC, Biden wins Tennessee
Per AP, Biden wins Oklahoma
MSNBC calls Oklahoma for Biden as well.

Bernie won OK in 2016.

He appears to have carried half as much support and lost by close to ten points today.
Bernie wins Colorado per MSNBC.

Bloomberg in second.

Biden and Warren both over 15%.

So Bernie gets a win but a four-way delegate split.
AP calls Minnesota for Biden.

That is shocking. Klobuchar was polling at 26%; Bernie at 22%; Biden in the low teens.

That’s a state the Bernie camp expected to win tonight.
Utah too early to call.

Bernie expected to win there. He was polling +13 points up a few days ago.
Biden wins Arkansas.

Wow. Falling like dominoes.
Utah declared for Bernie.

Colorado and Utah in the win column for Bernie so far.
And the shocker of the night:

Biden wins Massachusetts. Bernie second. Warren third.

The single most obvious analytic question heading into the primaries was: how much of Bernie’s 2016 support was truly support for him?

The media has strenuously refused to even ponder it because the answer would run counter to their open animus toward Clinton in 2016.

1/
At no time since 2016 has the media truly reckoned with its own open antipathy toward Clinton.

At no time has it reckoned with how it’s own coverage fomented oppositional voting merely against her.

2/
Instead, it has wholly rushed forward with the unexamined and ludicrous presumption that Bernie Sanders support was a product of nothing other than the newfound rise of his own personal political brand.

That absurd fiction is now being soundly disabused.

I listened to the first ten minutes of Bernie’s press conference and it was a narcissistic tour de force of the reasons for his poor performance last night:

- no personal insight into why he struggled
- insistence that he is a perpetual victim
- fact-free claim he’s winning
Bernie’s go-to narrative was soundly rejected last night.

He drew no promised turnout boost. Late-deciders ran from him like he was on fire. He unperformed in even his home state.

Yet, his only impulse is double and triple down.

Narcissists lack personal insight.
And the winds of change in the race have made his default rhetoric even less effective.

A healthy majority of the Dem electorate is delighted at the prospect of coalescing even if not delighted by Biden.

Bernie’s all-division-all-the-time shtick couldn’t be less welcome.

One of the most hardwired, central characteristics about narcissist is this:

Given the choice between tightening their circle around true believers or expanding it to include only partial believers, they will take the former every damn time.

1/
Narcissists cannot handle the prospect of people in their circle seeing them as anything less than all-good.

We see that in Trump purging anyone who even questions him.

2/
And we see that in Bernie Sanders’ hires and rhetoric as a candidate.

Bernie could have chosen to expand his circle of support over the past four years.

Instead, he chose to entrench, isolate and lock in only those who truly believe without question.

Interesting evening spent with 4 senators at a very small gathering. LOTS of optimism—fueled by internal #poll data—that we will flip the Senate.

Maine: @SenatorCollins is DOWN by 2 points. Her #Kavanaugh vote decimated her approval rating — she went from 57 to the upper-30’s.😎
Senate breakdown is 53 @GOP—47 @SenateDems + Independent.

@DougJones faces a tough re-election bid, but @jeffsessions may split the anti-Roy Moore vote. If Moore wins the primary, Jones has a great chance.

If Jones loses, we need 4-5 seats to flip—4 if we win @POTUS, 5 if not.
In Colorado, @CoryGardner is in BIG trouble. John @Hickenlooper leads by 12 points!

In #NC, @ThomTillis is literally polling in the toilet (approval rating in the 20’s!), so another great pickup opportunity for @TheDemocrats.😎

"Biden takes flak on race and busing. But his views may still mirror America’s" by @isaacstanbecker. This is a good piece that quotes historian Brett Gadsden, whose book "Between North and South" is the best place to start to understand Biden and "busing" washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06…
To understand the #DemDebate2 exchange between #KamalaHarris & Joe #Biden, you have to understand that "busing" has been used since the 50s as a code word to oppose school integration. I cover this history in "Why Busing Failed" & the book's website whybusingfailed.com/anvc/why-busin…
White parents in the North organized after Brown v Board to maintain segregated schools, using euphemisms like "busing" & "neighborhood schools" to maintain segregated schools without explicitly saying they didn't like black or Latinx students #DemDebate2 whybusingfailed.com/anvc/why-busin…

First, #Virginia's governor defends #infantacide, now this yearbook photo from college where he is dressed in #blackface surfaces a few days later.

#Kavenhaugh did nothing. Rep. #SteveKing's statement was taken out of context by The New York Times...
but their crimes were being #Republican.

#Democrats are literally getting a pass for baby murder and blatanty saying black people are stupid clowns.

....
Since so many #blacks continue to support Democrats regardles what they say or do, the shoe obviously fits for them and all other #Democrats are sick #hypocrites.

Want to tackle racial inequality? State level policies are a good place to start. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of some of legislation proposed in #Maine that will help level the playing field (thread) #mepolitics #MartinLutherKingJrDay
“An Act To Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit in Maine” (LR 163) would increase the size of the state EITC, which goes to low income families. Maine has some the highest poverty rates for POC in the nation, and the EITC is one of the most effective anti poverty programs
“An Act To Ensure Pay Transparency and Reduce Gender and Racial Inequities” (LR 942) would require disclosure of race and gender pay gaps for large companies. Black women in Maine make ~59¢ for every $1 made by a white man. More transparency will force corps to face inequities
