A rematch in the November general election, expected for months, was confirmed Tuesday when President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump secured the delegates needed to secure their parties’ presidential nominations.<\/p>\n
Trump’s resounding victory in Iowa in January was the first example that sparked speculation about their November showdown.<\/p>\n
That speculation was further strengthened when Nikki Haley, his only surviving opponent in the primary, halted her campaign last week, clearing the way for him.<\/p>\n
The most anticipated showdown between Biden and Trump in the November general election was confirmed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
According to Edison Research, Biden reached the necessary 1,968 delegates on Tuesday evening as results from the Georgia primary battle began to come in.<\/p>\n
Hours later, Trump secured the 1,215 delegates needed to win the Republican presidential nomination.<\/p>\n
In a recent campaign video, Biden praised his position as his party’s anticipated nominee in a message posted to the social media site X, calling it a “prime moment.”<\/p>\n
Joe Biden says in voiceover: \u201cToday is a day, a call to action. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u201cWith your voice, with your power, with your vote \u2013 this November, we will vote in record numbers, and if we can do it, we have the power to do it. Are you ready? Are you ready to defend democracy? Are you ready to protect our freedom? Are you ready to win this election?<\/p>\n
Shortly after winning the nomination, Trump’s campaign uploaded a video of the former president to X later Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump says in the video: \u201cIt was a great day of victory. Last week was something very special \u2013 Super Tuesday \u2013 but now we have to get back to work because we have the worst president in the history of the country. His name is Joe Biden, sometimes called Crooked Joe Biden, and he must be defeated. \u00bb<\/p>\n
