Biden loses Super Tuesday Dem caucus in American Samoa

President Joe Biden meets with UAW members during a campaign stop, Feb. 1, 2024, in Warren, Mich.

The Fox News Decision Desk can now project that Jason Palmer, a self-described entrepreneur and investor, will win the American Samoa Democratic caucus.

This marks President Biden’s first loss in the 2024 primaries. Palmer takes 4 delegates, Biden takes 2.

During the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primaries, Biden lost the territory against his competitors. The president captured 8% of the vote compared to Vermont Senator Bernie Sander’s 10%, Hawaiian Representative Tulsi Gabbard’s 29%, and New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s 50%.

As a territory, Samoa does not get a vote in the general presidential election. They are only permitted to send delegates to the convention during the primary season.  

Roughly 230 Samoans voted in the 2020 Democratic presidential caucus.
