JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — President Joe Biden looks to nudge further ahead in his party’s nomination for reelection with Democratic voting Saturday in Wyoming and Alaska.
As two of the least populated states, Alaska and Wyoming play minuscule roles in both intraparty and general election voting in presidential election years.
Biden effectively clinched the Democratic nomination on March 12 with the Georgia primary and is now all but certain to face former President Donald Trump as the Republican nominee in November.
Alaska Democrats will hold a voice vote for their party-run preference poll at in-person and virtual district meetings Saturday.
Biden is the only candidate on the ballot after the other Democrat to qualify, Dean Phillips, suspended his campaign last month. The vote is being held during meetings where other party business is conducted.
