Despite hopes that Mini Tuesday would even out the playing field after a surprising Super Tuesday race, Bernie Sanders continued to perform second to former Vice President Joe Biden in the primaries held on 10 March. Six states voted in what is now a two-person race (aside from Tulsi Gabbard — who has 2 delegates and no 2020 debate appearances due to the DNC’s requirements), and Biden was victorious four out of the six states. The most delegate-rich state that voted on Mini Tuesday — Michigan, with 125 voters — was a win for Biden, along with Michigan, Mississippi, and Missouri, allowing Biden to maintain his lead and expand the delegate margin between him and Sanders. Bernie Sanders won North Dakota (the least delegate-rich state on Mini Tuesday), with 14 delegates. Washington, one of the more important areas on Mini Tuesday, is yet to be 100% reported, although Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are estimated to be within a few thousand votes apart in the state. Following Mini Tuesday, however, Sanders announced his plans to stay in the race, and attend the two-person Democratic debate on Sunday. On March 12, Bernie Sanders was declared the victor of the California race — arguably, one of the biggest wins in the Democratic primary race.
