USA. Trump, Biden Win Nominations

That has been clear to everyone for weeks and even more so after Super Tuesday, but now there are numbers: Joe Biden and Donald Trump have a quorum for the nomination in the next US election. They will be the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, even though the official announcement won’t be made until the respective parties’ summer conventions.

Given the delegates gained in the primaries in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington, the incumbent and the tycoon are confident they can run for the White House in a repeat of the 2020 battle. Trump won with more than 80% in Georgia, where Nikki Haley, despite her abandonment, got 15.4% and 60,000 votes, a peak alarm for some analysts, confirming the fact that anti-Trump sentiment still lingers in the Republican Party. This discontent could affect the vote in this state, which was “key” in 2020.

The two candidates’ reactions come from social media, the tone of which is clearly reminiscent of campaigning: “Today’s a day, a to call to action. With your voice, with your power, with your vote – come November, we will vote in record numbers, and can do it, we have the power to do it. Are you ready? Are you ready to defend democracy? Are you ready to protect our freedom? Are you ready to win this election?” said Biden in a social media post on X. At the same time, from Trump’s campaign headquarters came a video, again on X, in which the former president explains: “This was a great day of victory. Last week was something very special – Super Tuesday – but now we have to get back to work because we have the worst president in the history of country. His name is Joe Biden, sometimes referred to as crooked Joe.”
