US Elections 2024: President Joe Biden has clinched the Democratic Party's nomination for the upcoming presidential elections later this year, paving the way for a rematch with former President Donald Trump, as reported by US media outlets.
Joe Biden reached the necessary 1,968 delegates to secure the nomination during the primary contest in Georgia, with similar results anticipated in Mississippi, Washington, and the Northern Mariana Islands, according to US media reports.
In the US, the presidential nominee is chosen through an indirect election or primary, where voters determine the number of delegates each party convention receives. These delegates then select the party's presidential nominee, requiring a majority of delegate votes at the convention for a candidate to win the nomination.
Following his nomination victory, Joe Biden emphasized the critical choice facing voters regarding the future of the country, urging them to defend democracy and protect freedoms from extremist threats.
Former President Donald Trump is anticipated to secure the Republican Party's nomination, with his last rival, Nikki Haley, ending her campaign after his decisive victories in 14 out of 15 state contests on "Super Tuesday" last week.
Both Biden and Trump face significant challenges as they vie for the presidency. Trump, currently embroiled in a criminal trial for alleged hush money payments, also faces legal scrutiny for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Meanwhile, Biden's candidacy is hindered by concerns over his age and challenges such as the ongoing border crisis and recent controversial incidents.
As the election campaign heats up, tensions between the two candidates escalate. Biden has criticized Trump for allegedly threatening democracy and has pledged to defend key rights such as abortion access, setting the stage for a fierce electoral battle.
