Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar’s sudden withdrawal from the presidential field after a poor showing in South Carolina, left her home-state up for grabs.  Her endorsement of Biden, just one day before the election, helped him score a nine-point victory over Bernie Sanders, who won the state handily in 2016.

In terms of turnout, women made up a majority of Democratic primary voters – totaling 58% of the electorate.
