Florida has 219 delegates at stake. [View all]

There are 27 congressional districts with 143 delegates.
An additional 76 delegates are elected state-wide for a total of 219 delegates.

Based on a current poll Biden will likely get all 76 delegates from the state-wide group. I'm guessing Biden will also likely get all or nearly all of the delegates in districts 15 thru 27 which are in southern Florida. They comprise 71 of the 143.

At a minimum I'm guessing Biden will get at least 180 delegates.

In 2016, Clinton got 141 and Sanders 73.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
