Biden wins Oklahoma primary

Former Vice President Joe Biden has won the Oklahoma presidential primary, adding to a string of victories for the Democratic candidate on Super Tuesday.

The Associated Press called the race for Biden shortly after 9 p.m. ET. Polls closed at 8 p.m. ET.

Biden was competing against multiple rivals in the Sooner State, such as former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who was on the ballot for the first time after sitting out the first four nominating contests.

Biden also beat out Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who was born in Oklahoma and frequently references the state on the campaign trail.

Polling ahead of the state’s primary was scant; one poll showed Biden in the lead while another had him in second place behind Bloomberg.

Bloomberg and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) were both polling in double digits as recently as last month. Sanders won Oklahoma by about 10 points in the 2016 primary against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Oklahoma is one of 14 states voting on Super Tuesday. It will award 37 pledged delegates in the race for the Democratic nomination.
