Joe Biden and Donald Trump easily won their party's presidential nominations in Louisiana.
Why it matters: The country will have the first presidential rematch since 1956, Axios' Noah Bressner reports.
The big picture: Biden and Trump secured enough delegates earlier this month to clinch their primaries nationally.
- Louisiana's primary was more of a formality, but every vote counts.
By the numbers: More Republicans cast ballots in Saturday's primary than Democrats, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State's office.
- The unofficial turnout statewide was 19% of registered Republicans and 14.6% of registered Democrats.
The Republicans: 90% of Louisiana voters picked Trump for the nominee.
- Nikki Haley got 7% of the vote, followed by Ron DeSantis (2%) and Chris Christie (1%).
- In Orleans Parish, Haley got 23% of the Republican vote. She suspended her campaign earlier this month.
The Democrats: Biden secured the state's Democratic nomination with 86% of the vote.
- Marianne Williamson got 5%, then Dean Phillips with 3%, according to the Secretary of State's office.
