Joe Biden has won the Maine Democratic primary, according to AP.

Why it matters: It's the last Super Tuesday primary to be called and further adds to Biden's delegate lead.

The big picture: Aggregated polling averages leading up to Super Tuesday showed Bernie Sanders with a strong lead in Maine, where 24 delegates are up for grabs. But Biden saw a huge day-of voting surge after Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar suspended their campaigns and endorsed the former vice president hours before polls opened.

Joe Biden has won the Maine Democratic primary, according to AP.Why it matters: It&#x27;s the last Super Tuesday primary to be called and further adds to Biden&#x27;s delegate lead.

2024 will be an election year like no other, as President Biden seeks re-election amid economic uncertainty, two wars and questions about his age. His likely foe, former President Trump, faces felony charges and vows revenge on his political enemies. Meanwhile, Americans generally are dissatisfied with those choices and are divided over immigration, race, education and more.
