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. Eastern.<\/p>\n<h2>New York <\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>Biden won New York\u2019s Democratic primary with 92.9%, dwarfing Williamson at 4% and Phillips at 3.4% with 11% of votes counted.
