June 2 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden picked up wins in every state that held primaries on Tuesday, plus Washington, D.C., and is now very close to clinching the party's official nomination.
Biden was projected to win Indiana, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Dakota, garnering more votes than Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who's left the race but remained on the ballot to continue to acquire delegates for the national convention.
