County results

Former vice president Joe Biden won another southern primary by a large margin with almost 39% of the vote and 21 delegates, while senator Bernie Sanders placed second with around 25% and 13 delegates. Former mayor Michael Bloomberg and senator Elizabeth Warren did not reach the threshold, only getting a few district delegates. The election was a remarkable shift from 2016 when Sanders had won nearly every county and easily defeated Hillary Clinton by a double digit margin.
