With nearly all of the votes counted in the Democratic presidential primary early Wednesday, Biden led with 81%, while 13% of voters chose “uncommitted.”

In the Republican presidential primary, Trump had 68% of the vote compared to about 27% for former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley with nearly all of the ballots counted early Wednesday.
