Biden Wins in Missouri Democratic Caucuses

The Missouri Democratic Party has announced the final results of the party-run presidential preference primary, held Saturday, March 23.

With nearly 20,000 total votes cast in the Missouri Democratic Party’s party-run presidential preference primary, President Biden won with 85.3 percent of the vote, winning 61 of 64 pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention. 

“The Missouri Democratic Party congratulates President Biden on his decisive victory in our party-run presidential preference primary last weekend. President Biden’s Administration has been focused on investing in the people and communities who need it most and has a long list of accomplishments to tout heading into November. From capping the cost of insulin at $35 for Missouri seniors to the over $2.8 billion in funds for infrastructure projects in Missouri communities, including $122 million to replace Chester Bridge in Perry County, $31 million to replace the bridge over Table Rock Lake, and $7.8 million to repave MO 53 in Butler County from Business 67- Route 25, Missourians are seeing the real impacts of the Biden Administrations’ investment on their daily lives,” said Missouri Democratic Party Chair Russ Carnahan.  

“In spite of the attack on our voting rights by the Republican State Legislature, turnout in the Missouri Democratic Party’s party-run presidential primary exceeded that of the Republican caucus event, and Democrats used this election as an opportunity to start organizing early and generated grassroots enthusiasm across the state as we head into the 2024 election cycle. Over 450 Missouri Democrats volunteered to organize a statewide election with nearly 100 in-person voting locations to ensure as many of their neighbors could cast their vote for their preferred Democratic nominee for president as possible. Missouri Democrats are fired up and ready to fight in 2024.”
