Although American Samoa will not participate in the 2024 presidential election because it is a U.S. territory and not a state, it participated in the U.S. presidential primaries and caucuses for both the Democratic and Republican parties.[2]
Democratic caucuses
[edit]The 2024 American Samoa Democratic presidential caucuses were held on March 5, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 11 delegates to the 2024 Democratic National Convention will be allocated to presidential candidates.[3] The contest was held on Super Tuesday alongside primaries in 14 other states and territories. It was initially reported by the American Samoa Democratic Party that Jason Palmer won four delegates, while Joe Biden won two. The same day, the delegate count was corrected, with Palmer and Biden winning three delegates each.[4] Biden unexpectedly lost the popular vote to lesser-known candidate Palmer.[5]
