JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. _ Democratic voters in Missouri signaled Tuesday they want former Vice President Joe Biden to take on President Donald Trump in November.
As votes were tallied, Biden backers were staring down a big win, rather than a repeat of four years ago when U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont split the delegate haul with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Shortly after polls closed, both The Washington Post and The New York Times declared Biden the victor in Missouri. So did The Associated Press and CNN.
