It’s official! On Friday evening, Joe Biden got passed the delegation mark he needed for the nomination as more delegates continued to be collected from Tuesday’s election. Biden achieved victory as his delegate count pushed him over the 1,991 needed for the nomination. As of Friday evening, he was two over the mark that pushed him to 1,993.
But this isn’t the end for my primary blog just because he got the nomination. Heck no, we’ve got eleven more primary elections left starting with this one. There were two islands that participated today: Guam and the Virgin islands.
Yeah, I know. Last time I checked, Guam was listed as TBA, so the fact it moved up to June 6 surprised me.
Anyway, both islands were called to Biden. Let’s break down the results shall we:
Guam - Biden received 69.6% of the vote and picked up five of the eleven pledged delegates, while Sanders received 30.4% of the vote and picked up the final two.
Virgin Islands - The island held a closed caucus in which a candidates must reach a threshold of 15 percent to receive any of the seven pledged delegates. This surprisingly turned out to be a winner-take-all, as Biden led the pack with a WHOPPING, JAW-DROPPING, and MASSIVE lead over his opponent - carrying the island with almost 95 percent of the vote. You know what that means? Biden walked away with all seven.
Here’s where the count now stands:
UP NEXT: A week ago I would’ve told you the next election would’ve been far down the road as June 23 was the next contest, but somehow as of this week a new date emerged….June 9. At last check yesterday there was supposed to be one state voting, but now we have two primaries being held: Georgia and West Virginia. 133 delegates are up for grabs on Tuesday night.
