Little enthusiasm as latest primaries secure Biden-Trump rematch

Both men captured nearly all the votes cast so far in what had become token state primaries, along with the primary for Democrats abroad and the Republican caucus in Hawaii.

Biden also won the Northern Mariana Islands primary on Tuesday morning, earning 11 delegates.

In Georgia, a nascent effort to register opposition to the Biden administration's support for the war in Gaza could not be easily expressed with "no preference" protest votes in that state, because the ballot does not provide a way to do so.

One woman in Roswell, Georgia, described voting for Representative Dean Phillips, who dropped out of the Democratic contest last week, as a substitute. "I voted a protest vote against the war in Gaza because I think it is horrible what is happening and I'm ashamed of my country right now," said Robin Hawking, 56, a software developer.
