Apparently, relatives of “The Rock” are all in on President Joe Biden’s bid for reelection. (That’s a joke, folks.)

In a shocker, Biden did actually lose one race on Super Tuesday…in American Samoa.

Jason Palmer, 53, beat out Biden among the 91 voters — yes, 91 — that cast a ballot in the territory’s caucus. Palmer received 51 votes to Biden’s 40.

“I found out that I had won because my phone started blowing up with friends and campaign staffers texting me,” Palmer said, as reported by the Associated Press (AP).

Who is Jason Palmer, you might ask? According to the bio on his campaign website:

Jason Michael Palmer, born December 1, 1971, has served in executive and leadership positions at multiple organizations, including Microsoft, Kaplan Education, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and a leading impact investor firm, New Markets Venture Partners. New Markets is focused exclusively on double-bottom line investments in innovative, high-impact, early and growth stage educational and labor force technology companies that improve student and worker outcomes.[…]

Jason Michael Palmer holds a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Virginia (1994) and earned his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School (1999). He is a proud resident of Baltimore, Maryland, and a devoted father.

While the loss doesn’t seem like it will hamper Biden’s reelection attempt, it’s still a surprising headline to see that the president lost — in American Samoa of all places.
