BOSTON (AP) Former Vice President Joe Biden swept past Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Warrens home state during Tuesdays presidential primaries, handing Warren a stinging defeat as the momentum from Bidens win in South Carolina stretched into New England.
Warren, whose campaign struggled to gain traction in the early Democratic primaries and caucuses, had hoped to pull out a win in the state that first lifted her onto the national stage. Instead she finished third behind Sanders.
Bidens strength was a surprise in the state race that had appeared to be a toss-up between Warren and Sanders. His win was all the more unusual given that he had little campaign presence in the state compared to Warren and Sanders, a senator from a neighboring state.
Days before the primary, Sanders had made a big push for Massachusetts voters, drawing thousands to rallies in Springfield on Friday and again at a rally on Boston Common on Saturday.
