LIVE RESULTS: Biden decisively wins Florida Democratic primary, follow full results here

What's at stake in the primary?

Florida has 219 pledged delegates on the table. Of those 219 pledged delegates, 143 are pledged proportionally to presidential contenders based on the results in each of Florida's 27 congressional districts, while 76 delegates are pledged based on the statewide primary vote. Among the congressional districts, the biggest prizes were the 20th, 21st, and 22nd districts, with seven delegates up for grabs in each. Theis a geographically large landmass located in southeast Florida, while the 21st and 22nd districts are clustered to its East. These three districts encompass Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and more.

As in most other states, candidates must earn over the minimum threshold of 15% of the vote in a given district or statewide to earn any delegates. While this was a major factor in earlier primaries when there were still several candidates in the running, now that the race has largely consolidated into a two-way affair between Biden and Sanders, the 15% threshold played a less important role in Tuesday's elections., Biden held a clear lead in the state, with the intended support of 65.

Poor americans, can't you have a younger, better candidate?

المولات فارغه يا بايدن!

Well sounds like that Free Press worked out well for him. Looks like y’all will keep getting bailed out permanently.

Gross. I hope he gets it before the election. It would prove me wrong about who's gonna die first but it would get rid of part of problem because Obama is part of the human trafficking thing too.

Florida OMEGALUL
