Former Vice President has won Arizona's Democratic presidential primary, according to ABC News.

Polls opened Tuesday for Democrats to pick a presidential candidate as the state deals with a public health crisis that has crippled parts of the nation -- and as the number of returned mail-in ballots has already surpassed 2016.

Voters in three states went to the polls on Tuesday for the states' presidential primary.
