In an unexpected turn of events on Super Tuesday, President Biden faced a surprising defeat in American Samoa’s caucus, losing to businessman Jason Palmer from Baltimore. Palmer secured 51 out of 91 votes, marking the second time the territory has rejected Biden. In the 2020 primaries, it was Michael Bloomberg who won over the hearts of American Samoa voters.
Despite never having visited the island, Palmer managed to connect with voters through Zoom town halls, emphasizing the importance of new ideas and solutions. He entered the race with the goal of making a difference in the world while still alive, a sentiment reflected in his willingness to loan himself $500,000 for his campaign.
Upon his victory, Palmer expressed gratitude to the people of American Samoa for their support and highlighted the power of voices in his win. It is worth noting that residents of U.S. territories like American Samoa can vote in primaries but do not have representation in the Electoral College.
The unexpected outcome in American Samoa serves as a reminder of the diversity and complexity of the Democratic primaries, showcasing the significance of every voice in shaping the political landscape. Palmer’s success underscores the ability of grassroots campaigns to make an impact, even in seemingly overlooked regions. As the race for the Democratic nomination continues, all eyes are on the candidates as they strive to secure support from a wide array of voters across the country.
