Tennessee 2024 primary results: Biden, Trump projected to win

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won their respective parties' primaries in Tennessee Tuesday night, ABC News projects.

With 55% of the expected vote counted, Trump took 78%, compared to just 19% for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

Each county in the state determines the times that poll sites open. In the east part of the state, polls closed at 8 p.m. EST while the western part of the state closed at 7 p.m.

Absentee ballots had to be collected by the county clerk by the end of the day on Election Day.

The state allowed early in-person voting from Feb. 14 to Feb. 27.

State significance

Tennessee has 58 delegates in the Republican presidential primary; there are 63 Democratic delegates.

The state has nine House of Representative seats up for election this cycle.

Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who narrowly won a tight race in 2018, is seeking reelection in the state. State Rep. Gloria Johnson, one of the "Tennessee Three" who faced expulsion from the Tennessee House of Representatives seat following a rally against gun violence last year, is vying for the Democratic ticket in the race.

A ruby red state, Tennessee -- which has 11 electoral college votes -- has long voted for the Republican presidential candidate, with Trump winning the state in 2016 and 2020.
