Biden wins Democratic primary in Washington, D.C.

President Biden walks toward Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. Biden has a campaign event in Philadelphia with Vice President Harris and will head to Wilmington, Del., for the evening.

President Biden has won the Democratic primary in Washington, D.C., according to Decision Desk HQ.

Biden in D.C. easily beat long-shot challenger Marianne Williamson. His win could mean another 20 delegates moved into his column as he heads toward a rematch with former President Trump in the tight race. 

The district’s GOP primary was held back in March, when Nikki Haley, who has since dropped out and endorsed Trump, notched her first of two wins in the GOP process, briefly interrupting Trump’s winning streak.

The presidential primary cycle is winding down, with the last of the state primaries also coming in on Tuesday night. Next week, two more Democratic contests in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam will close out the party process and shift focus toward the conventions this summer.
