Trump wins Pennsylvania GOP primary

Former President Trump has won the GOP primary in Pennsylvania, according to Decision Desk HQ. 

Trump has already hit the delegates he needs to secure the Republican nomination for 2024, and there are another 67 delegates up for grabs in the Keystone State’s Tuesday night contest, according to a tracker from Decision Desk HQ/The Hill. 

Across the aisle, President Biden is set to pick up another win in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary. Neither presidential contender was expected to see major challengers, but Biden is likely to see a protest vote as some Democrats express frustration with the administration over Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war — and Trump could see some protest votes for his ex-rival, Nikki Haley. 

Polling averages from Decision Desk HQ/The Hill show Trump with a slim 0.4 point lead over Biden in the battleground state as the race gears up for a competitive rematch of the pair’s 2020 showdown. 

Voters in Pennsylvania are casting ballots Tuesday in the race for Sen. Bob Casey’s (D-Pa.) seat in the upper chamber, as well as several closely watched House contests. The state is poised to play a critical role in deciding which party controls the White House and Congress next year.
