#Biden opens w/huge lead in #DemocraticPrimary in early results
#POTUS Joe Biden was leading #Michigan's Democratic presidential primary contest Tues, as expected, w/the #ProtestVote against him pulling about 7% of the tally.
Biden had 88% of the vote, followed by 7% #uncommitted, 2% for Minnesota US Rep Dean Phillips & 2.4% for self-help guru Marianne Williamson, with 3% of precincts reporting.
This is the #Michigan #primary data I’m looking at:
The #Biden / #Trump side by side comparison.
So far, with a smaller percentage of Democratic votes counted, Biden is beating Trump, even w/ the #uncommitted #ProtestVote.
Biden has 89,813 votes w/ 12.38% of the vote counted.
Trump has 89,708 votes w/ 12.61% of the vote counted.
Assume conservatively that in the general election Biden gets at least 50% of those uncommitted votes.
We're going to need a lot more #Democrats to #vote in the #GeneralElection than did in the #primary if we want #Biden to beat #trump. Look at the total number of votes.
Even if Biden picks up 100% of the "#uncommitted" & Trump only gets 50% of #Haley's, Trump still wins #Michigan.
