Some of those activists in Wisconsin took a victory lap Wednesday after votes rolled in.

"In Wisconsin alone, nearly 48,000 voters cast an unrestricted ballot in the Democratic presidential primary, far surpassing campaign goals and significantly exceeding President Biden’s margin of victory over Trump in the 2020 general election," the progressive activist group, Our Revolution, said in a press release.

"This president must decide if loyalty to Netanyahu is worth delivering Trump the election in November," progressive activist Nina Turner posted on X in response to Tuesday's results. "He must decide."

The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. 

On the Republican side, a noticeable number of voters also opted against voting for Trump.
