US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have secured enough delegates to become their party’s 2024 nominee. Biden clinched the Democratic nomination with wins in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington, while Trump secured the Republican nomination after victories in key states. The stage is set for a possible rematch between the two leaders.
The bitter battle for the White House has intensified as Biden and Trump traded barbs over issues like immigration, taxes, and abortion. Biden warned of “resentment, revenge, and retribution” if Trump returns to power, while Trump accused Biden of allowing illegal immigration and mocked his mannerisms. The political divide in the US is expected to deepen as the election campaign heats up.
The 2024 general election is projected to be the longest and most expensive in recent memory, with candidates expected to spend a record $10 billion, according to AdImpact. A new poll shows Americans are split on who they trust to lead the country, with 36% trusting Trump, 33% trusting Biden, and 30% trusting neither. The presidential primaries will continue through June, leading up to the party conventions in July and August, and the Election Day on November 5.
