This is Biden's second victory in the primary contest following his recent on the weekend in South Carolina with 96 per cent votes. In South Carolina, Biden won all the 55 delegates at stake. This comes following the unprecedented move to make the state the first to vote over New Hampshire. Biden won New Hampshire in January through a write-in campaign launched by his supporters but did not receive any actual delegates there.
