President Biden is projected to win South Dakota’s Democratic presidential primary, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Biden was not expected to face any significant competition in the state; it has 16 delegates up for grabs on the Democratic side.

South Dakota went for Donald Trump in 2020, where he won 62 percent of the vote outright, and it’s almost certain to go for the former president again this fall.
