Donald Trump and Joe Biden each secured enough delegates to clinch their parties’ presidential nominations on Tuesday night, setting up a rematch of the 2020 race for the White House in November.
According to the Associated Press, Trump gained sufficient backing for the Republican nomination after winning a primary contest in Washington on Tuesday. Earlier in the evening, Biden won the Democratic nomination process after prevailing in the Georgia primary.
The comfortable wins for both candidates have demonstrated their dominance over their respective parties. They have also masked some weaknesses on both sides that will make the 2024 election a bitter battle in which the candidate who suffers the fewest defections may prevail.
