TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — President Joe Biden won Tuesday's Democratic presidential primary in Florida.
There was no contest for Biden to win in Florida as Democrats in the Sunshine State canceled their primary and opted to award all 224 of their delegates to him, a move that has precedence for an incumbent president.
There was little suspense about Tuesday's results as both candidates are already their parties' presumptive nominees.
Donald Trump easily won the Republican presidential primary in Florida.
Biden and Trump also easily won primaries Tuesday in Arizona, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio, notching more delegates as they continue their march to a rematch in November's presidential election.
Trump and Biden have for weeks been focused on the general election, aiming their campaigns lately on states that could be competitive in November rather than merely those holding primaries.
Trump on Saturday rallied in Ohio, which has for several years been reliably Republican after once being a national bellwether in presidential elections. Trump won the state by about 8 percentage points in 2016 and 2020. But there are signs the state could be more competitive in 2024. Last year, Ohio voted overwhelmingly to protect abortion rights in its constitution and voted to legalize marijuana.
Trump and Biden are running on their records in office and casting the other as a threat to America. Trump, 77, portrays the 81-year-old Biden as mentally unfit. The president has described his Republican rival as a threat to democracy after his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results and his praise of foreign strongmen.
