The 2024 presidential race is gearing up for a historic rematch between President Biden and former President Donald Trump, as both are poised to secure their party’s nominations in the upcoming primaries.
With no major challengers left in the field, Biden and Trump are expected to sweep the primaries in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington State, solidifying their positions as the Democratic and Republican presumptive presidential nominees.
For Trump, his recent victories in 14 out of 15 GOP primaries and caucuses on Super Tuesday have significantly boosted his delegate count, bringing him closer to officially securing the Republican nomination for 2024.

With former rival Nikki Haley dropping out of the race, Trump currently holds 1,075 delegates out of the 1,215 needed to clinch the nomination.
Meanwhile, Biden’s successful sweep of 14 out of 15 Democratic contests last week has propelled him to a commanding lead in the delegate count. With 1,866 delegates under his belt, Biden is on the brink of securing the Democratic nomination, needing just 1,968 delegates to seal the deal.
The upcoming primaries in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington State are expected to further solidify Biden and Trump’s positions. Georgia could potentially put Biden over the top if he captures all 108 delegates.

Both candidates have been actively campaigning in Georgia, recognizing its significance as a crucial battleground state in the general election.
The rematch between Biden and Trump marks a rare occurrence in presidential politics, reminiscent of the 1956 election when Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower faced off against former Democratic Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois for a second time.
As the 2024 race heats up, all eyes will be on these two political heavyweights as they prepare to battle it out once again for the highest office in the land.
