Joe Biden is on the cusp of formally securing the Democratic presidential nomination after winning hundreds more delegates in primary contests that tested the nation's ability to run elections while balancing a pandemic and sweeping social unrest.
Biden and President Donald Trump easily swept their respective primary contests in Indiana.
The Democratic result in Indiana was expected because Biden’s rivals have already dropped out of the race.
The former vice president's haul of delegates from the Indiana victory pushes him closer to the 1,911 delegates he needs to capture the Democratic presidential nomination.
Biden could lock down the nomination during next week’s primaries in West Virginia and Georgia. Voters across America on Tuesday were forced to navigate curfews, health concerns and National Guard troops. In some cases, they waited in line hours after polls closed.
The state’s primary was delayed by four weeks because of the coronavirus outbreak.
