No. of delegates a candidate needs to secure the Democratic presidenti­al nomination for the November 3 US election

158-100

352 delegates were at stake. Based on the latest results, Biden won at least 158 delegates and Sanders at least 100, according to Edison Research

MICHIGAN Delegate count 125

The biggest prize, Michigan delivered a big victory for Biden. He will secure at least 53 delegates and Sanders at least 39. Both campaigned hard in the state, where Sanders had pulled off a stunning upset over eventual nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016

WASHINGTON STATE 89

With two-thirds of the vote counted in Washington, Sanders and Biden were tied at 33% each. They will both secure at least 27 delegates. Sanders cruised to victory in this liberal-leaning state in 2016. Washington switched this year from holding caucuses

MISSOURI 68

Biden won Missouri and will secure at least 32 delegates. Sanders will win at least 18. While neither made a major investment in Missouri, Biden's support from black voters helped propel him to victory. Sanders lost Missouri by a tiny margin to Clinton in 2016

MISSISSIPP­I 36

Biden went on to win Mississipp­i and will secure at least 30 delegates from the state. Biden was the clear favourite in Mississipp­i, given his strength among African-American voters and his dominant performanc­e last week in neighbouri­ng Alabama

IDAHO 20

Biden won Idaho and will get at least 10 delegates, while Sanders will secure at least eight, according to estimates. Sanders had easily won the state back in 2016, but Idaho state’s shift to a primary from caucuses this time round may have hurt his chances in the Tuesday fight

NORTH DAKOTA 14

Sanders registered a much needed victory in the state of North Dakota and he will go on to collect eight delegates from there. Biden meanwhile will receive the remaining six delegates. Like Idaho, North Dakota strongly backed Sanders in 2016

DEMOCRATS ABROAD 13

This global primary allows Democrats living abroad to participat­e in voting that ended on Tuesday. Democrats could either vote at hundreds of voting centers around the world between March 3 and Tuesday, or send in ballots by midnight PST
