While it looks Now like it will be a Rematch of 2020 with Trump vs Biden - Questions Still Linger about Biden Making it to the November Election
Janice Hisle and Emel Akan, The Epoch Times, March 13, 2024
President Joe Biden on March 12 secured the Democratic nomination after an overwhelming win in swing-state Georgia, as his rival, former President Donald Trump, won enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination when several primaries were called later that evening.
“I am honored that the broad coalition of voters representing the rich diversity of the Democratic Party across the country have put their faith in me once again to lead our party—and our country—in a moment when the threat Trump poses is greater than ever,” President Biden said in a statement shared by the White House upon his becoming the presumptive Democratic Party’s nominee.
“I believe that the American people will choose to keep us moving into the future. With every crisis, America has always emerged stronger and more united on the other side. This November will be no different — and I believe we will do it together,” he said.
President Trump also easily won the Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington Republican primaries on Tuesday.

“The Republican National Committee has just declared us the official nominee,” President Trump said in the video. “But most importantly, we now have to go into victory because our country is in serious trouble. We have millions and millions of people flowing in. We have no respect on the world stage. What we say doesn’t mean a thing anymore. And to have that happen is unthinkable. We have an economy that, outside of certain little areas, is doing very poorly. And we have something very, very important. We have United States military that has to be taken care of.”
He then spoke of his opponent.
“But now we have to get back to work because we have the worst president in the history of our country. His name is Joe Biden, sometimes referred to as crooked Joe Biden, and he must be defeated. Our nation is failing We’re a nation that is in serious decline. We’ve never had a situation like this.”
Pollster Rich Baris dubbed March 12 “mini Super Tuesday” because several states were holding presidential-preference contests. These primaries come a week after Super Tuesday, March 5, when both men scooped up hundreds of delegates across more than a dozen contests.
Other than Georgia, two other states held Republican and Democrat primaries: Mississippi (40 Republican delegates and 35 Democrat delegates) and Washington (43 Republican delegates and 72 Democrat delegates).
Additionally, Republicans voted in Hawaii, which carried 19 delegates.
Despite the fact that President Trump faced well-funded intraparty opponents and President Biden did not, President Trump clinched the nomination at the same time as the incumbent.
