(NewsNation) — Decision Desk HQ projects Democratic incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump the winners of their respective primaries in Oklahoma.

Voters in Oklahoma hit the polls on Super Tuesday to pick their preferred Democratic and Republican presidential nominations for the general election in November.


Republicans will choose between front-runner Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Trump currently has 221 delegates, while Haley has snagged just 43.

Meanwhile, Biden doesn’t face any viable opponent but rather the “uncommitted” vote, which made up about 14% of the ballots cast in Michigan. This protest vote against Biden shows the growing frustration within his own party over his administration’s response to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Polls in Oklahoma close at 8 p.m. ET. You can track the results of Tuesday’s primary elections in the maps below as they come in:

Heading into Tuesday, the former president had more than 220 delegates, while Haley had 43. On Tuesday, 865 GOP delegates and 1,420 Democratic delegates will be up for grabs, and you can track each candidate’s numbers in our tracker here. To clinch the nomination, Trump will need 1,215 delegates of the 2,429 available, so he will not win outright Tuesday, though success on the night will mean he’s much closer to the goal.

Oklahoma’s state primary, which will include races for state and congressional offices, will be held June 18.
