WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has easily won Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primary in Nevada, his second lopsided victory in four days over a mostly unknown field of challengers.
The Associated Press declared Biden the winner at 11:39 p.m.
ET based on initial vote results in Washoe County, the second largest in the state, that showed him eclipsing the rest of the field.
Since declaring Biden the winner, vote results in seven additional counties confirmed Biden's win, most notably in Clark County, home of Las Vegas and by far Nevada’s most populous.
ET, Biden led in Clark with about 91% of the vote, a vast improvement over the 24% he received there in the 2020 Democratic caucuses.
