Bernie Hangs His Hopes on Michigan
Today, voters from six states head to the ballot box. But the catch of the day will come from Michigan's 125 delegates. Sanders beat Clinton there in 2016, but Biden leads the polls.

Show Notes
Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders face off again today in primary elections in six states, as the last two men standing in the race for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. Biden is trying to cement the delegate lead he established on Super Tuesday. Sanders needs to reverse what for him was a disappointing performance — winning a delegate majority in just three of 14 states — and show that he’s still a contender.
And though six states are voting, one state is considered the big prize: Michigan, which Sanders won in the 2016 primary, and which recent polls show Biden leading by a hair.
Holly Bailey, Washington Post national political reporter, and Stephen Henderson, host of Detroit Today, preview what’s at stake in the six presidential primaries today, including the key contest in Michigan between Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders.
