Joe Biden wins presidential primaries in New Jersey and Delaware [View all]

Source: AP

Former Vice President Joe Biden has won New Jersey’s mostly mail-in Democratic presidential primary and after his third run for the White House, Joe Biden has finally won a presidential primary in his home state.

Biden, the last man standing from a Democratic field that once numbered more than 24 candidates, won Delaware's Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, beating Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Sanders and Warren both suspended their campaigns months ago but their names remained on Tuesday's ballot because they did not officially withdraw as candidates in Delaware by the March 6 deadline. Warren suspended her campaign just one day before the deadline, while Sanders didn't stop campaigning until April.

Pete Buttigieg and Tom Steyer also had filed for Delaware's primary but withdrew their names in early March.
