Biden wins Wyoming Democratic caucus
President Biden is the winner of the Wyoming Democratic presidential caucus, Decision Desk HQ has projected.
Biden is already the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, having mathematically clinched the nomination last month. His win will add at least most of the state’s 13 pledged delegates available for the winner to his total.
He faced nominal opposition in the contest from author Marianne Williamson and entrepreneur Jason Palmer. Voters could also select an “uncommitted” option on the ballot as some have done in other states.
Critics of the Biden administration’s handling of the war between Israel and Hamas have rallied around an effort to vote uncommitted as a protest vote against Biden. The effort has had some relative success in other states, reaching 19 percent in Minnesota and 13 percent in Michigan.
It has also won a few delegates to go to the Democratic National Convention in the summer.
Biden won the Wyoming Democratic caucuses over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the last election, bringing in 72 percent to 28 percent, respectively.
Still, The Cowboy State has historically voted Republican since 1964.
