Biden wins Nevada's Democratic presidential primary

President Biden has won the Nevada Democratic primary on Tuesday, according to a race call by the Associated Press.

As the incumbent president, Biden had been widely expected to carry the primary. Author Marianne Williamson was also on the ballot.

In 2020, Biden won Nevada in the general election by just under 3%, making it a much-watched swing state. He lost in the primary to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Though Nevada's was an uncompetitive primary, Democrats plan to use the results to gauge how to focus their efforts to court voters.

"In general, Las Vegas has been very transient. And so oftentimes we have to establish those connections for the first time," said Fabian Doñate, the Latino Legislative Caucus chair. "Our population is very diverse compared to the rest of the country, and so that's why we're first in the West."

Thirty percent of Nevada's population identifies as Latino. Asian American and Pacific Islanders make up the fastest-growing demographic in the state and it is also very sprawling with union support and rural voters.

Nevada is one of six swing states that will get outsized attention in the general election and is the first swing state to vote early, making it a testing ground for the candidates, even if the races aren't that competitive on paper.

Biden spoke with union workers on Monday

Ahead of primary day, Biden came to Las Vegas to meet with union workers before visiting a tea shop in the city's Chinatown. Biden met with Culinary Union workers in an employee cafeteria at the Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas. The workers have just finalized contract negotiations with MGM Resorts management.
