Biden and Trump projected to win California presidential primaries: AP

President Biden and former President Donald Trump are the projected winners of the presidential primaries in California held on Tuesday.

The Associated Press made the projection shortly before midnight on Tuesday evening. The call came about 15 minutes after polls closed in the state. 

AP reported that their early projection was "based on initial returns that showed" Biden and Trump with "insurmountable leads."

According to the AP, California "conducts its elections largely by mail and allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted, so its vote count often takes weeks, if not a month."
