US President Joe Biden swept every Democratic contest on Super Tuesday with the glaring exception for American Samoa, where the caucus there was won by 52-year-old Baltimore resident Jason Palmer.
According to the Associated Press, Palmer won 51 of the island's 91 ballots against Biden's 40.
"I found out that I had won because my phone started blowing up with friends and campaign staffers texting me," he told CNN late Tuesday.
Palmer also admitted that he never visited the territory before the caucus, resorting to "doing Zoom town halls" as part of his remote campaign.
The outcome - as well as the "uncommitted" vote in several Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses - would hardly derail Biden's inevitable party nomination, as there were only six delegates at stake in the US territory.
A day prior to the caucus, Palmer posted on X, formerly Twitter, that Washington was "long overdue for a president who will be an advocate for American Samoa."
Palmer is a Baltimore resident who has worked for various businesses and nonprofits, often on issues involving technology and education. On his campaign website, Palmer described himself as someone with leadership and executive experience working for Microsoft and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, among others, Fox News Digital reported.
He said voters wanted "someone who is more of the 21st century than Joe Biden" to serve as president.
Palmer also had 25 years of small business experience in addition to his executive-level experience.
