据报道,拜登17日在民主党的佛州初选大胜对手桑德斯,距赢得党内总统提名更进一步。在开出六成选票后,拜登大赢桑德斯38个百分点,已宣称胜利。佛州有219张党代表票,在此之前,拜登已领先桑德斯约150张。
佛州、伊利诺州和亚利桑纳州在同一天举行初选,原本也在17日举行初选的俄亥俄州因忧心疫情,在选前一天宣布延期举行。
美国2020年总统选举目前处于党内预选阶段。民主党方面,桑德斯在起跑阶段表现不俗,但拜登后来居上。据目前的初选投票情况,拜登和桑德斯两人的支持者分野明显。桑德斯的拉丁裔支持者众多,而拜登则在白人和非洲裔选民中支持率高。

According to reports, Biden's victory over rival Sanders in the Democratic primary in Florida on the 17th is further from winning the party's presidential nomination. After 60% of the vote, Biden won Sanders by 38% and declared victory. With 219 party delegates in Florida, Biden was about 150 ahead of Sanders.
Florida, Illinois and Arizona held their primaries on the same day. Ohio, which also held the primaries on the 17th, announced the postponement the day before the election due to a worrying epidemic.
The U.S. presidential election in 2020 is currently in the primary stage of the party. For Democrats, Sanders did well at the start, but Biden came from behind. According to the current primary vote, Biden and Sanders are clearly divided. Sanders has a large Hispanic constituency, while Biden has a high turnout among white and African voters.
