Trump captured 1,215 delegates in Georgia, Mississippi, Washington, and Hawaii on Tuesday to win the Republican presidential nomination for the third time. A rematch with Joe Biden, who won the Democratic nomination, is scheduled. For the first time since 1956, the same two candidates will run in consecutive elections, guaranteeing a difficult campaign that might exacerbate political divisions.
Following Nikki Haley’s departure last week, Trump won all his primary opponents on Tuesday and was nominated. Biden found no resistance in the Democratic nomination process.
After his nomination, Biden stressed the options voters confront about the country’s future, including democracy, freedom, and economic inequality.
Donald Trump predicted Biden’s candidacy on Monday, mocking the president’s age, “I guess he’ll run. I’m his only contestant besides life.”
Each contender faces obstacles. Trump is charged with 91 felonies for handling confidential materials and trying to overthrow the 2020 election. At 81, Biden is concerned about his physical and mental fitness for the presidency and facing internal opposition over his attitude to issues like Israel-Hamas.
We’ll see how the contenders handle these issues and propose their views for the future in the eight-month White House election.
