Six states hold their Democratic primaries tomorrow: Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, and Washington. PredictIt bettors have Biden favored in each.<\/p>\n
With 125 delegates up for grabs, Michigan is tomorrow’s biggest prize. Biden’s shares of winning the most delegates in the Great Lake State are at 95 cents, Sanders at eight cents.<\/p>\n
In 2016, Sanders upset Democratic frontrunner Clinton in Michigan. Sanders’ team was hoping for Michigan’s support in 2020.<\/p>\n

“It’s getting hard not to see Biden winning here, and by a comfortable margin,” veteran Democratic strategist Adrian Hemond told Politico<\/i>. “He’s got a huge base of support in the black community, and while maybe he doesn’t appeal to the non-college-educated whites like Trump does, he’s not toxic to them like Hillary was.”<\/p>\n
“Bernie’s only real advantage is with young voters, and they don’t turn out anyway,” Hemond concluded.<\/p>\n
Second Super Tuesday?<\/b><\/h2>\n
Along with Michigan, Biden is expected to expand his delegate lead over Sanders with wins in Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, and Washington. His shares in those states are respectively 67 cents, 99 cents, 97 cents, 78 cents, and 65 cents.<\/p>\n

Should he run the table, the odds of a brokered Democratic convention<\/a> would only extend further. The PredictIt market, “Will the Democrats have a brokered convention in 2020?” has “Yes” shares at just 10 cents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nTo avoid a brokered convention, a candidate needs to obtain a simple majority of the delegates to secure the ticket. Prior to Super Tuesday, the brokered convention market had those same “Yes” shares as high as 60 cents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
