Biden wins Alaska Democratic primary

President Biden has won the Alaska Democratic presidential primary, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.

Biden was the only candidate on the ballot with Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), a primary challenger who was also originally on the ballot, having dropped out last month. The Alaska Democratic Party decided as a result to hold a voice vote instead of having voters cast their ballots.

Biden’s win will add at least most of the state’s 15 pledged delegates up for grabs to his total.

He already mathematically clinched the Democratic nomination last month, paving the way for a rematch between him and former President Trump in November.

Alaska has historically voted Republican in presidential elections. The last Democratic presidential candidate to nab a win in the state was former President Johnson in 1964, per the Associated Press.
