Biden Wins Nomination, Trump Trails
The race for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination is heating up as Joe Biden surpasses the required delegate count for his nomination bid. As of March 12, Biden has secured 1,968 delegate votes, according to Edison Research. This milestone was reached with the results of preliminary voting in Georgia, Mississippi, Washington, the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as overseas Democratic voters.
Biden’s Triumph
Touting his victory, President Joe Biden made a similar statement in his Federal Address last week, warning that Donald Trump poses a threat to American democracy. Biden also criticized his predecessor’s harsh stance on immigration. The Biden campaign has seen a surge in donations, raising $10 million within 24 hours of his Federal Address. This financial advantage gives the Democratic Party an edge over the Republican Party.
Trump’s Pursuit
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump needs to secure 1,215 delegate votes to win the Republican Party’s nomination. Early projections indicate that he is close to reaching this milestone with the conclusion of voting in four additional states, including the battleground state of Georgia, where Trump faces criminal allegations for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.
According to Reuters, the outcome of the race has been essentially determined, with Trump’s final opponent in the Republican nomination race, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, ending her campaign on “Super Tuesday,” an event where Trump emerged victorious in 14 out of 15 states.
