Notably, his largest margins came in states with substantial black populations: Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina and Arkansas.

The surge of momentum that led to him winning 10 of 14 states began last Saturday in the South Carolina primary, where Biden’s 30-point win was the result of his taking almost two-thirds of black votes there.
