President Joe Biden is projected to have lost the American Samoa Democratic caucuses to a largely unknown challenger named Jason Palmer, a lackluster result on a night when the sitting president easily romped through the rest of Super Tuesday. According to the Associated Press, out of the 91 votes cast in the territory's caucuses, Biden carried 40 and Palmer won 51. Palmer is now expected to get four delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
