President Biden won the Democratic primary in Arkansas, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.

His victory in the Natural State was widely expected, given his only significant primary challenger, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), has trailed by wide margins.

Biden is not likely to win Arkansas in November, however, given its deep-red hue. In 2020, the president lost to former President Trump 62-35 percent.
