Bernie Sanders Is the Only Candidate From Either Party to Win 50 Percent of Michigan's Vote

Not even Donald Trump could top Bernie Sanders in Michigan. Much to the pollsters' surprise, Sanders edged out Hillary Clinton in a narrow but decisive victory in a delegate-rich state that was supposed to be hers. Sanders was in fact the only candidate in Michigan's primary, from either party, to receive 50% of the vote.

Clinton, who was projected to win by up to 27%, ended up losing by 2%. Sanders turned out 100,000+ more voters than the other outsider, Donald Trump.
