Biden Secures Democratic Presidential Nomination

President Joe Biden has officially secured the Democrat presidential nomination for the 2024 elections.

Although the President has been ahead in the polls for the past few months, Biden formally secured his party’s nominee spot Tuesday after Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state held primaries.

Biden had 1,872 delegates this week, sweeping 14 of 15 contests.

Report from Fox News:

With no major challengers remaining, Biden and former President Trump were on course to collect all or nearly all the delegates up for grabs in Tuesday’s contests, putting each of them over the top and making them the presumptive Democrat and Republican presidential nominees.

The president and his predecessor in the White House will formally become the two major party nominees this summer when the Republicans and Democrats host their national nominating conventions in July and August, respectively.

The November rematch between Biden and Trump is the first in the race for the White House since 1956, when Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated former Democratic Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois when they faced off for a second time.

In a statement as he clinched the nomination, Biden took aim at his Republican challenger, charging that “Donald Trump is running a campaign of resentment, revenge, and retribution that threatens the very idea of America.”
