President Biden is projected to win the Democratic presidential primary in Wisconsin, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Biden was not expected to face any serious competition in the state, which has 82 delegates up for grabs on the Democratic side.
However, members of the party upset over the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war urged voters in the primary to cast a vote for “uninstructed” on their ballot as a protest vote. Democrats have seen similar efforts play out in other states like Michigan and Minnesota.
Wisconsin is among a handful of key swing states that will determine the presidential election this fall. Biden traveled to Milwaukee last month and is expected head back to the state again next week, traveling to Madison.
Meanwhile, Trump held a rally in Green Bay on Tuesday – his first trip to the Badger State this year.
