(NewsNation) — Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden have won their respective primaries in Arizona, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio, according to projections from Decision Desk HQ.
Trump is also projected to win the Florida Republican primary. Florida Democrats canceled their primary and opted to award all 224 of their delegates to Biden. That’s not an unusual move for a party with an incumbent in the White House seeking reelection.
Five states held presidential primaries Tuesday as Biden and Trump continue to lock up support around the country after becoming their parties’ presumptive nominees. Presidential primary elections were held in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio.
Trump-backed candidate Bernie Moreno has also won the Republican nomination for Senate in Ohio to face off against incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown this November, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Moreno, a former car dealership owner and the father-in-law of Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, defeated state Sen. Matt Dolan and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose in a messy primary that intensified in the closing days of the campaign.
Trump rose to the top of the GOP field early on and maintained his lead, outlasting numerous other candidates, even as he has faced multiple legal challenges that are expected to continue through the court system throughout the election year. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was the last to drop out of the race, ceding the field to Trump as the GOP’s presumptive nominee.
On the Democratic side, Biden has faced few challengers, with Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., suspending his campaign against Biden most recently, though long-shot candidate Jason Palmer picked up three delegates from voters in American Samoa. Biden also faces a movement of voters choosing “uncommitted” in an effort to send delegates to the convention who are not bound to vote for a specific candidate.
