Biden LOSES To Nobody Candidate In American Samoa Caucus

Well, this has to be embarrassing.

Amid Trump’s blow-out Super Tuesday wins, Joe Biden has just suffered a shocking defeat in the American Samoa caucus.

Biden lost the territory’s caucus, which has 6 delegates, to somebody named Jason Palmer — a little-known Democrat candidate.

Check it out for yourself:

So, who is Jason Palmer?

Apparently, he is a tech entrepreneur and Maryland resident, who ran this campaign ad in American Samoa:

And, as it turns out, that was enough to beat Joe Biden in the U.S. territory…

Jason Palmer reacted to his win on X:

Honored to announce my victory in the American Samoa presidential primary. Thank you to the incredible community for your support. This win is a testament to the power of our voices. Together, we can rebuild the American Dream and shape a brighter future for all #VoteJasonPalmer pic.twitter.com/Txf771rhtI

The New York Post has more to say:

Well, that was unexpected.

President Biden appears to have suffered a stunning Super Tuesday defeat in the American Somoa caucus at the hands of Jason Palmer.

Palmer is a tech entrepreneur who has worked at Microsoft and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Like Biden’s other longshot rivals, he has argued that it’s time for the president to pass the baton onto the next generation.

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.

The Guardian also reported:

As he wrestles with the challenges of the Democrat “uncommitted’ protest vote, Joe Biden faced a new opponent on Super Tuesday, and lost.

The president swept every Democratic contest in the early results, including taking Minnesota, the home state of nearest challenger Dean Phillips. But he didn’t reckon on the power of Jason Palmer in American Samoa.

Out of 91 ballots cast in the territory’s caucus, Palmer won 51 and Biden won 40, according to the local party, giving the previously unknown candidate from Baltimore four delegates to Biden’s two.

The outcome in the tiny collection of islands in the South Pacific with fewer than 50,000 residents is unlikely to derail Biden’s march toward his party’s nomination but sparked interest amid the more predictable results. Many greeted the news online with the question: who is Jason Palmer?

Palmer describes himself as a Maryland resident and proud father who has worked for various businesses and nonprofits, often on issues involving technology and education. He says he “recently gained national prominence by qualifying for the presidential ballot in sixteen US states and territories” and, at 52, has promoted himself as one of the youngest Democratic candidates.
