President Biden Secures Victory in Puerto Rico Democratic Primary

With minimal opposition, President Joe Biden wins the Puerto Rico Democratic primary, further solidifying his position as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election.

• President Joe Biden won the Democratic primary in Puerto Rico, capturing nearly 98% of the early vote.
• Biden's victory adds most of the 55 pledged delegates from Puerto Rico to his already substantial delegate count.
• The primary was held with significantly fewer voting centers this year due to austerity measures, limiting the number of locations to just 12.
• Despite their participation in primaries, residents of Puerto Rico cannot vote in the U.S. presidential general elections.
• The victory comes after Biden was declared the presumptive Democratic nominee last month, having secured the required delegates.
