And with exit polls like these, it's no wonder why.
Exit poll from Mississippi has Biden winning 84% of the black vote, Sanders winning 13%.

Sanders was defeated in similar fashion in Mississippi by Hillary Clinton in 2016. But he can't afford to lose Michigan. And we may not know what happens there until Wednesday afternoon.
