President Biden is projected to win the Democratic primary in the Northern Mariana Islands, inching him closer to grabbing the party’s presidential nomination.
Voting for the primary closed in the U.S. territory on Tuesday. Mr. Biden secured 94% of the votes, earning him six delegates, while entrepreneur Jason Palmer saw 4% and author Marianne Williamson took 2%.
Mr. Biden has seen only one loss in his race for the nomination. He lost in American Samoa on Super Tuesday to Mr. Palmer by 11 votes.
Mr. Palmer aimed to secure another win Tuesday, but fell short. He campaigned in only the territories.
“I don’t believe any other campaigns have reached out to Northern Mariana or American Samoa or Hawaii or even Gaum,” he said in an interview to KUAM News, an NBC affiliate in Guam. “I think that by focusing on places that are underappreciated and overlooked and actually understanding your needs and responding to your needs, that’s one part of the strategy.”
