Former Vice President Joe Biden shocked the world with his Super Tuesday revival, and he is now on the right path to the Democratic nomination against President Donald Trump in November.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the wide support he received from Black voters and the consolidation among Democratic moderates, Mr. Biden seized primary victories across the nation, clinching wins in key states such as Michigan, Florida, and Arizona. Now, the question is no longer Bernie vs. Biden, or progressive vs. moderate, but more so if Mr. Biden could unite the Democratic party and beat President Trump. Pennsylvania, one of the key states that postponed the primary due to COVID-19, will soon have its rescheduled primary on June 2nd. Using the FEC individual contribution data, we hope to get a better sense of how much support Mr. Biden could rally in the Keystone State.
