American Samoa splits delegates in Democratic caucuses between Biden, Jason Palmer

Washington — Jason Palmer, an entrepreneur with almost no name recognition, won half the delegates in American Samoa's caucuses, with the other half going to President Biden, the party announced on Wednesday.

Of the 91 ballots that were cast, Palmer received 51 and Mr. Biden received 40, according to the American Samoa Democratic Party. Each ended up receiving three delegates.

The American Samoa Democratic Party sent the results on Wednesday, correcting results they had sent the night before that was an "error," the party said. The initial, incorrect results said Palmer had four delegates and Biden two, the party said.
