波多黎各周日举行了民主党总统初选，55名代表有待角逐。
据美国广播公司新闻报道，乔·拜登总统预计将获胜。
他是唯一参加竞选的主要候选人，今年早些时候他获得了该党2024年的提名。
投票从上午9点到下午3点开放
该领土有公开的初选，但要参加民主党的竞选，选民必须宣布自己是民主党人。
理论的意义
作为美国领土，而不是一个州，波多黎各不参加总统大选，但它确实有助于决定政党提名谁为候选人。
波多黎各2024年共和党初选是本月初。前总统唐纳德·特朗普获胜。
2020年，拜登以56%的选票击败佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯赢得了党内初选。
2016年，在最后一场有争议的共和党初选中，佛罗里达州参议员马尔科·卢比奥以70%的选票赢得了该地区，击败了当时的候选人川普。
Puerto Rico 2024 Democratic primary results: Biden projected to win
Puerto Rico held its Democratic presidential primary on Sunday and 55 delegates were up for grabs.
President Joe Biden is projected to win, ABC News reports.
He was the only major candidate running, and he clinched the party's 2024 nomination earlier this year.
Polls were open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The territory has open primaries, but to vote in the Democratic Party's race, voters must have declared themselves a Democrat.
Teritory's significance
As a U.S. territory -- not a state -- Puerto Rico does not participate in presidential general elections but it does help decide whom the political parties nominate as their candidates.
Puerto Rico's 2024 Republican primarywas earlier this month. Former President Donald Trump won.
In 2020, Biden won his party's primary over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 56% of the vote.
In 2016, the last contested GOP primary, Florida Sen.Marco Rubiowon the territory with 70% of the vote, defeating then-candidate Trump.
