"Jason Palmer: The Democrat Who Upset Biden in American Samoa's 2024 Caucus"

Jason Palmer, a venture capitalist from Baltimore, delivered President Joe Biden his first defeat in the Democratic presidential primary by winning the American Samoa Democratic nominating contest, despite being a little-known candidate. Palmer, who has never held political office, acknowledges his candidacy as a longshot bid with very little chance of winning, but is focused on ideas, solutions, and changing the conversation. His campaign is centered on being an advocate for American Samoa and championing a talent economy powered by mission-driven entrepreneurs and conscious capitalism.
