Austin, Texas – President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump emerged victorious in the Texas primaries, solidifying their lead in delegate counts in the race for their respective party nominations. Both candidates have shown strong performances in various states, indicating their continued dominance in the primary season.

Biden claimed wins in states such as Vermont, Virginia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and more, while Trump emerged victorious in Virginia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and others, showcasing their broad appeal across different regions.
Notable projections included Jason Palmer winning the American Samoa Democratic presidential caucuses, handing Biden his only defeat in the primary season so far.
