Electors in four states voted for their parties' presidential nominees. This was largely a symbolic vote, after President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump had already secured the nominations of the Democratic and Republican parties, AP reported, quoted by BTA.
Biden and Trump easily won primaries in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and Wisconsin, increasing their number of delegates for the summer caucuses.
Their victories, while not surprising, do give a sense of the enthusiasm among a core of voters for the upcoming rematch in 2020, which has left a majority of Americans disillusioned. Biden has faced opposition from activists who are encouraging Democrats to vote against him to send a message of disapproval of his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas, and some Republican critics of Trump are still voting for challengers , which have dropped out, AP noted.
