WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Mr Joe Biden won the Democratic primary in Massachusetts on Super Tuesday, United States media projected, delivering a potential knockout blow to Senator Elizabeth Warren in her home state.

Ms Warren, who along with Senator Bernie Sanders represents the progressive wing of the Democratic party, has seen her candidacy flounder after leading some national polls as recently as October.

The north-eastern state she represents sends 91 delegates to the party’s convention in July and was yet another impressive win for Mr Biden on a night that cemented his comeback following a stumbling early campaign.

The former vice-president built a lead as 14 states voted to pick the Democratic challenger to President Donald Trump, with eight projected wins so far against three for Mr Sanders.

“It’s a good night and it seems to be getting even better! They don’t call it Super Tuesday for nothing,” Mr Biden told cheering fans in Los Angeles as he secured his early wins against Mr Sanders.
