Joe Biden consolidates his leadFormer Vice President Joe Biden took command of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday by beating Senator Bernie Sanders in at least three of the six states that voted, including the key battleground of Michigan. Here are the latest developments and a breakdown of the votes.
