On Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden had four victories in Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, and Idaho. While left-leaning articles highlight that Biden has had a remarkable turnaround in the past few weeks, right-leaning articles highlight that Biden was accused of taking away Second Amendment rights.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post reports that Biden has had a remarkable turnaround in the past few weeks, winning white Democratic voters without a college degree, black voters who form the backbone of the Democratic Party, and suburban women who helped drive record turnout for Democrats in the 2018 elections. Over the last few weeks, Democratic voters have shown in exit polls and the ballot box that they are trying to get behind a nominee who can begin focusing on trying to defeat President Trump.
NPR published a centrist article highlighting that exit polls show that Biden tends to perform better among women than men, and Sanders tends to perform better among white voters than black voters. The article notes that Biden defeated Sanders by 16.5 points in Michigan, with a turnout of above 1.5 million.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Biden “went off the deep end” when a Michigan construction worker accused Biden of trying to take away Americans’ Second Amendment rights. The worker also told Biden he saw an online video that supported his claim that Biden is hostile to the Second Amendment.
