Super Tuesday weakened Bernie Sanders. Michigan may break him
It was Michigan where Sanders engineered a primary day miracle four years ago, upsetting Hillary Clinton and imprinting his populist agenda on the industrial Midwest.The result not only presaged Clinton’s inability to win over white, working-class voters in the general election, but underpinned Sanders’ argument that, in running again, he could succeed where Clinton failed in a race against Donald Trump.
Sanders’ advisers believe Michigan could work in the Vermont senator‘s favor next week, with a victory re-establishing his foothold in the race. “Biden can finish Bernie off in Michigan,” said Michael Ceraso, who worked for Sanders in 2016 and was Pete Buttigieg’s New Hampshire director before leaving his campaign last year.
Barry Goodman, a Biden bundler in Michigan, said Biden on Monday will attend a fundraiser in the state whose hosts include Goodman, former Michigan Gov. James Blanchard, and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. It is possible, in this volatile primary, that Sanders could beat Biden in Michigan — and that the state could mark another turning point in a race that has been defined by them.
