The Associated Press is projecting that current U.S. President Joe Biden has won the most votes in Michigan’s 2024 presidential primary election for the Democratic Party.

As of 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 27, the AP is calling the race for Biden in Michigan’s Democratic primary. The only other candidate opposing Biden for the Democratic nomination was Dean Phillips.

As incumbent, Biden, 81, was expected to win the state’s primary, and is further expected to secure the party’s nomination for the Democratic candidate in the general election later this year.
