Biden and Trump easily win in WA presidential primary, clinch nominations

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump cruised to wins in Washington state’s presidential primary on Tuesday, and the two men are now firmly on track for a rematch this November.

Around 8 p.m., just minutes after vote tallies became available, the Associated Press called Washington’s nominating contests for Biden and Trump. Biden commanded about 86% of Democratic ballots, as Trump claimed nearly 74% among Republicans.

Earlier Tuesday, Biden swept up Georgia’s delegates to officially clinch the Democratic nomination in this year’s presidential contest. Trump on Tuesday cleared that threshold as well.

A twist for Biden in recent weeks has been an activist campaign to get voters to choose “uncommitted delegates” on their ballots in protest of the president’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Progressives driving the effort want Biden to press harder for a ceasefire.
