President Joe Biden lost the caucus in American Samoa on Tuesday to unknown Democrat Jason Palmer — a tech entrepreneur who has worked at Microsoft and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
From The New York Post:
The lesser-known Democratic hopeful has also called on the federal government to ramp up its game on technology.
Preliminary results showed Palmer rocketing past Biden and his longshot rivals such as Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) in the American Samoa caucus.
Those results are set to be certified on Friday. American Samoa had six delegates up for grabs.
…
Under 100 people appear to have participated, according to the early results. American Samoa has a population of roughly 45,000 residents.
The island nation didn’t go for Biden in 2020 either — instead giving former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg his only Super Tuesday win.
