Election 2024: How Bucks County Voted In Presidential Primary

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —It's the showdown everyone has been talking about.

It's like a "Rocky sequel: Biden against Trump: Round 2.

Now that the formalities of an uncontested primary election are over, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will trade barbs, televise a zillion campaign advertisements, and battle it out in the November general election on who will lead the nation for the next four years.

So how did both candidates fair in Tuesday's primary election?

In Pennsylvania overall, Biden received 943,539 votes, or 93.17 percent of his Democratic party's nomination, according to unofficial results.

Meanwhile, Trump received 791,003 votes, or 83.38 percent of the Republican party nomination.

Trump's tally was taken away by former candidate Nikki Haley, who remained on the ballot despite pulling out of the presidential race recently. She received 157,713 votes, or 16.62 percent.

While voters could only choose candidates on based on party lines, the tallies Tuesday in Bucks County indicate that Round 2 of Biden-Trump might be pretty tight.
