What about Donald Trump?
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has also secured enough delegates to represent the Republican Party in November.
The selection process was in full swing, with Democrats and Republicans exercising their right to vote in the presidential primaries in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington.
Additionally, in Hawaii, Republicans are gathering for caucuses.
On the other hand, the Democrats Abroad primary, where Democrats who are overseas cast their votes, is concluding.
Biden secures the Democratic nomination
In the Northern Mariana Islands, Biden emerges as the anticipated winner of the Democratic primary, following the voting held earlier today.
With each vote cast and every projected outcome, the political landscape ahead of the general elections is taking shape.
This is generating expectations and speculation about the future of leadership in the world’s most powerful nation.
Current U.S. President Joe Biden, and former President Donald Trump, have mathematically solidified themselves as the candidates for their respective parties after Super Tuesday.
Trump’s main rival drops out
In the Republican field, primaries were held in Georgia, Mississippi, Hawaii and Washington — states that collectively award a total of 161 delegates.
With 1,078 delegates already secured, Trump only needs 137 of these to reach the magical number of 1,215, which would virtually make him the Republican candidate.
His main rival, Nikki Haley, dropped out after the results of Super Tuesday last week, further clearing the way for Trump.
Meanwhile, in the Democratic field, the states of Georgia, Mississippi and Washington have assigned their 235 delegates.
Biden receives the best news
With 1,872 delegates, Biden only needed 96 more to reach the required 1,968 to secure his nomination.
In addition to these three states, primaries were also held on Tuesday in the Northern Mariana Islands territory in the Pacific, where Biden obtained all six delegates at stake.
He has faced protest votes in some states due to his support for Israel, such as in Michigan or Minnesota, and a similar situation is anticipated tonight in the state of Washington.
However, although this might cost him some delegates, it doesn’t seem to threaten his victory, according to EFE.
Biden and Trump will face off
Both Biden and Trump have secured their parties’ nominations early, nearly three months before the conclusion of primary season on June 4.
Although both are now mathematically the presidential candidates, they still have to wait for the summer conventions to make it official.
The Republican National Convention is scheduled from July 15 to 18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Meanwhile, the Democratic National Convention will be held in Chicago, Illinois, from August 19 to 22.
