The Associated Press called the Nevada Democratic primary for Joe Biden after he secured a lopsided victory with about 89% of the vote, leading in both Washoe County and Clark County. This win, along with his previous victory in South Carolina, solidifies his position as the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary, earning him the lion’s share of national convention delegates at stake in Nevada.
Rep. Dean Phillips placed third in the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary, trailing behind the top two candidates.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ordered state elections officials to include U.S. Rep Dean Phillips on the state’s Democratic presidential primary ballot, ruling that Democrats on a bipartisan presidential selection committee should have at least discussed his inclusion. This means President Joe Biden will have Phillips as a challenger on the April 2 ballot. Phillips, who represents neighboring Minnesota in Congress, filed a lawsuit after being left off the ballot, arguing that he met the test in Wisconsin law for gaining ballot access. The court found that the committee failed to properly exercise any discretion and ordered Phillips to be included on the ballot.
