As the call was made for @JoeBiden in TN, @chucktodd points out “Tennessee? He didn’t even go to TN. What?” It’s been confirmed Joe Biden didn’t in fact campaign in Tennessee.

Other states that Biden has either won or has been called by networks include: Oklahoma, Alabama, Virginia, and North Carolina.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT) is expected to win other states such as California and Texas, which have the most delegates out of the states tonight, 494 and 262 respectively. A Democrat needs to attain 1,1991 delegates to win the nomination.
States Sanders has won so far include Vermont and Colorado.
Biden struggled in early voting states but got a big boost with a combination of winning the South Carolina primary and having rivals such as former Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (MN) dropping out and endorsing him on Monday.
