Dean Phillips (D-MN), author Marianne Williamson, and Cenk Uygur, all of whom have suspended their presidential bids.<\/p>\n<p>Trump won Connecticut\u2019s GOP primary at 81.3% with 0% of votes counted. The Associated Press called the race for Trump at 8:10 p.m. Eastern time. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Haley, and Ryan Binkley were also on the ballot.

The Associated Press called the race for Trump at 8:09 p.m. Eastern time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Eyes will also be watching to see if Haley wins any delegates on Tuesday night in Rhode Island, as any candidate who receives over 10% of the vote in the state is awarded delegates. Haley has polled around 10% in other post-Super Tuesday states, meaning she could very well net delegates despite having dropped out of the contest.<\/p>\n<p>But with only four electoral votes, Rhode Island is not much of a big player in the battle over who will win the 2024 race. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Delegates at stake:<\/strong> 26 for Democrats, 19 for Republicans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Polls closed: <\/strong>8 p.m. EDT.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Races to watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>New York <\/p>\n<p>The Empire State is one of two key states to watch for how potent the uncommitted vote against Biden will be.

Leaving your ballot blank is how you can lean into your democratic power and pressure President Biden to correct course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York, a reliably Democratic state, also will be another one to watch for how many voters choose Haley over Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Delegates at stake:<\/strong> 268 for Democrats, 91 for Republicans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Polls close: <\/strong>9 p.m. EDT<\/p>\n<h2>Wisconsin<\/h2>\n<p>Organizers upset at Biden\u2019s handling of the Middle East conflict have also encouraged Wisconsinites to vote \u201cuninstructed\u201d on the Democratic ballot.

A \u201cyes\u201d vote would bar private funds in elections. Question 2 deals with whether only election officials can carry out tasks needed to run elections.
