Biden wins Washington state, splits delegates with Sanders 46-43 [View all]
EVERETT — Joe Biden’s win in Washington’s Democratic Presidential Primary netted the former vice president 46 of the state’s 89 delegates, with the rest going to Bernie Sanders, according to numbers from the Washington State Democrats.
After the last tally, Biden took 38% of the vote to Sanders’ 37%. About 20,000 ballots separated the two remaining Democrats running to take on President Donald Trump in November. Biden, who struggled early in the race, has won 19 of the last 26 contests and now leads Sanders in pledged delegates by about 300, according to the Associated Press.
“I think at its core, we’ve all had an opportunity to experience what I’ve called the greatest political comeback in modern history,” said state Sen. Marko Liias, D-Lynnwood, a Biden supporter.
Across the state, Biden beat Sanders in 26 counties. Sanders had the most votes in 13.

The majority of the state’s 89 delegates are pledged by results in congressional districts. Biden won seven of 10, including the 1st, which covers eastern parts of the county like Monroe and Lake Stevens. Sanders won the 2nd and 7th districts, which include the rest of Snohomish County.
In total, Biden took 30 of the 58 delegates pledged by congressional districts.
The statewide vote accounts for the rest. Biden gained 16 of the 31 delegates from the popular vote.
