President Joe Biden has clinched the Democratic nomination for the 2024 presidential race, surpassing the required 1,968 delegates following his Georgia primary win.
Biden is poised for a rematch against Donald Trump, who remains 137 delegates shy of the 1,215 needed for the Republican nomination despite battling legal challenges.
Consistent wins in national primaries and caucuses marked Biden’s journey to the nomination. Despite legal entanglements involving 91 felony counts across four cases, Trump is anticipated to secure the Republican nomination, potentially with a victory in Georgia.
This election is notable as the first presidential face-off between two former presidents since 1956. Trump, confronting multiple indictments, is yet to reach the delegate threshold for the Republican nomination.
At 81, Biden addresses concerns regarding his age and fitness for office, aiming to unify his party’s progressive wing. Commenting on Biden’s candidacy and age, Trump suggested to CNBC that his real competition might be “life itself.”
