President Biden won the Idaho Democratic presidential caucuses, according to a projection from Decision Desk headquarters.

Biden has already been the presumptive nominee for more than two months, having won enough delegates in March. He was the only major active candidate on Thursday’s ballot, and his victory will give him at least a majority of the state’s 23 pledged delegates up for grabs.

The vote also included some challengers, including author Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), the latter of whom dropped out and endorsed Biden. Voters could also choose the “disengaged” option, as some voters in several other states have done in protest of the Biden administration’s support for Israel in its war against Hamas.

Candidates, or the uncommitted option, must receive at least 15% of the vote statewide or in a congressional district to win a delegate.

The Idaho Republican presidential caucuses, which former President Trump won comfortably, were held in March.
