President Biden had a strong showing on Super Tuesday, winning around 80 percent of the vote in most contests. However, in American Samoa, a little-known venture capitalist named Jason Palmer emerged victorious in the Democratic caucuses, defeating Biden by a narrow margin.
Palmer's success in American Samoa was attributed to his remote campaigning strategy, where he engaged with voters through virtual meetings and had a dedicated team on the ground. His focus on issues like conscious capitalism and building a new collar economy resonated with voters in the territory.
Despite being a long shot candidate, Palmer emphasized the importance of offering alternative voices in the presidential race. He highlighted the need for a positive and optimistic platform, especially for young voters who are seeking a more equitable future.
While acknowledging Biden's strong position in the race, Palmer expressed hope that Biden might consider passing the torch to a new generation of leaders. He also announced plans to co-found an organization called 'Together' aimed at rallying independence and young people to address government issues.
Palmer's unexpected win in American Samoa has brought attention to his platform and vision for the country. As he continues to campaign and push for his ideas, he remains committed to supporting the Democratic nominee, whether it be Biden or another candidate.
