Biden and Trump Clinch Nominations, Kicking Off General Election

The remaining contests slated from now until early June have become formalities, as both candidates secure their partyโ€™s nomination.

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.

โ€œI 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 partyโ€”and our countryโ€”in a moment when the threat Trump poses is greater than ever,โ€ President Biden said in a statement shared by the White House upon his becoming the presumptive Democratic Partyโ€™s nominee.

โ€œI 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 โ€” and I believe we will do it together,โ€ he said.

President Trump also easily won the Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington Republican primaries on Tuesday.

President Trump acknowledged his win via a statement put out on his Truth Social account and via a 3-minute-plus video posted by the Trump campaign on X.

โ€œThe Republican National Committee has just declared us the official nominee,โ€ President Trump said in the video. โ€œBut 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 doesnโ€™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.โ€

He then spoke of his opponent.

โ€œBut 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 Weโ€™re a nation that is in serious decline. Weโ€™ve never had a situation like this.โ€

Pollster Rich Baris dubbed March 12 โ€œmini Super Tuesdayโ€ 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.
