Sanders suffered a narrow defeat in Missouri’s Democrat primary race in 2016, losing to Hillary Clinton by less than half of a percentage point, or 1,531 votes.

While the margin of Biden’s victory is not yet known for Missouri’s race, all eyes will quickly turn to Michigan this evening, which offers the biggest prize of 125 pledged delegates. The Great Lakes State’s final polls close at 9:00 p.m. ET.
