MANSFIELD, MA — Former Vice President Joe Biden's surge to a surprising victory in the Massachusetts Super Tuesday primary was fueled with some help from Mansfield voters. Biden finished with 35.3% of Mansfield's 4,998 votes casts in the Democratic primary in unofficial results — ahead of second-place Sen. Bernie Sanders (25.4%), third-place Sen. Elizabeth Warren (17.6%) and fourth-place former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (12.4%).

President Donald Trump easily beat former Gov. William Weld among the 1,327 votes cast in the Republican primary with Trump at 83% to Weld's 12.7%.

Biden rode a wave of weekend momentum Tuesday night to win the Massachusetts Democratic primary, crashing what had been expected to be a two-person race between Sanders and Warren. The Associated Press called the race for the former vice president just before 11 p.m.
