No primate in USA?

Just saw a program on the skunk ape of Florida.

and it just srtuck me we have primates on most continents that have appropriate climate and fauna, except in the USA, Africa,, India, China and S. America.
S. America means they must have come down thru USA into S. America.
So why did they not populate USA?

Or did they? Just wondering.
Anyone know please comment.
