Resurgent former vice-president Joe Biden appeals to a substantial block of mostly southern voters in ways Bernie Sanders can’t

After most national polls had been showing a considerable lead for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, former vice-president Joe Biden’s strong showing on Super Tuesday caught most of the country by surprise. 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.
