In a historic turn of events, both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump clinched their party nominations on Tuesday, setting the stage for an epic rematch in the upcoming US presidential election. This marks the first time in nearly 70 years that such a rematch will occur.
Biden, 81, crossed the crucial threshold by securing over 1,968 delegates needed for the Democratic nomination. The results poured in from primary contests held in various states including Georgia, Mississippi, Washington, and even among Democrats living abroad.
Meanwhile, Trump, 77, garnered the necessary 1,215 delegates for the Republican nomination, triumphing in key states like Georgia, where he faces legal challenges over the 2020 election results.
Following his nomination, Biden wasted no time in firing shots at Trump, criticizing what he described as a divisive campaign focused on resentment and revenge. He emphasized the importance of defending democracy and protecting freedoms in the face of extremism.
Trump, on the other hand, swiftly shifted the focus to the upcoming battle against Biden, labeling him as the “worst” president in US history. He pledged bold actions to strengthen the economy and tighten border security, echoing sentiments from his previous campaign.
