WASHINGTON — The biggest night of the primary campaign is half over. So far, there haven’t been any surprises.
President Joe Biden has easily carried all the Democratic contests, winning:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Colorado
- Iowa
- Maine
- Massachusetts
- North Carolina
- Oklahoma
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Virginia
- Vermont
Republican front-runner former President Donald Trump clinched:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Colorado
- Maine
- Massachusetts
- North Carolina
- Oklahoma
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Virginia
Full results will take at least a few more hours. Voting in Alaska doesn’t end until midnight EST.
Although Biden and Trump are expected to be their party’s nominee, neither will be declared the “presumptive nominee” tonight. Trump won’t have enough delegates until March 12, and Biden will have to wait until March 19.
