• Former VP Joe Biden dominated Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Michigan Democratic primary, delivering a potentially fatal blow to the Vermont senator's campaign.
• Michigan had 125 delegates on the table, so winning there gives Biden a huge lead over Sanders after a successful Super Tuesday.
• Losing in Michigan is also a symbolic defeat for Sanders, who won a narrow, stunning victory over Hillary Clinton in the Midwestern state four years ago.
