BREAKING: Biden Loses Primary Race

In an unexpected twist in the Democratic primaries, President Joe Biden faced a defeat in the American Samoa caucus, losing to relatively unknown candidate Jason Palmer. The outcome comes amidst a series of victories for Biden on Super Tuesday, casting a shadow over his campaign’s momentum.

American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the Pacific, held its Democratic caucus, where 6 delegates were up for grabs. The caucus results were eagerly anticipated, given the territory’s unique position in the primary race.

Jason Palmer, a name unfamiliar to many in the broader Democratic landscape, emerged as the victor with an impressive 56% of the votes, securing 51 votes against Biden’s 40, which amounted to a 44% share.

WATCH:

The results were officially called on Tuesday night by Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), in conjunction with the Democratic Party of American Samoa, marking a rare moment of electoral surprise. The loss for Biden in American Samoa stands in stark contrast to his performance across other states during Super Tuesday.
