Here's How Darien Residents Voted In 2024 Presidential Primary
Besides Donald Trump and Joe Biden, there were several names on the ballot for Darien residents to choose from on Tuesday.
DARIEN, CT — It's no surprise that former President Donald Trump was declared the winner of the Republican presidential primary and President Joe Biden was declared the Democratic winner just as polls closed Tuesday night.
Both the Democrat and Republican front-runners have already clinched their nominations. Biden will be running against Trump in November, with both candidates easily sweeping aside primary rivals to be their party's banner bearer once again.
While the results were almost certain, there were several names on both the Republican and Democrat primary ballots.
