Those voters and most of the voters since have given me renewed hope in our Democratic process and in the inherent intelligence of our Democratic party members. I think these results bode very well for the general election. I am even more encouraged by the increased turnout we have seen. On to November!

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