SALT LAKE CITY — As expected, President Joe Biden was victorious in Utah's primary election on Super Tuesday, winning all of the state's 34 delegates.
Decision Desk HQ projected Biden as the victor just minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m.
Unlike the Republican Party that chose to hold caucuses and a presidential preference poll, the Democratic Party stuck with a primary election.
In the 2020 Utah Democratic presidential primary, Biden finished second behind Bernie Sanders.
With the initial round of results posted Biden has a landslide 89 percent of the vote so far.
The Utah Democratic Party gave the following statement:
"Congratulations to President Biden and Vice President Harris on their overwhelming victory in tonight’s Utah primary. These results show what I’ve been hearing on the ground every day: Democrats are fired up and ready to re-elect the Biden-Harris ticket in November. We simply cannot afford to have Donald Trump and his MAGA extremist movement back in the White House.
"We know what’s at stake in this election: our personal freedoms, our economy, and our democracy. Tonight, thousands of Utah Democrats showed that they are ready to fight for our historic progress and send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris back to the White House in November."
