President Biden has won the West Virginia Democratic presidential primary, according to Decision Desk HQ. 

Biden’s win in the Mountain State will net him most if not all of its 20 pledged delegates up for grabs. Candidates must receive at least 15 percent of the vote statewide or in a congressional district to receive delegates, and Biden was the only major active candidate on the ballot. 

He already clinched the Democratic nomination in March and has been the presumptive nominee since then. 

The ballot also featured entrepreneur Jason Palmer, who won a surprise victory in the American Samoa Democratic caucuses in March, and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who has ended his primary challenge to Biden and endorsed him.
