Elder Nominees!

Rematch.

The Republican and Democratic primaries and caucuses continue. But one thing is clear, President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump are the presumptive nominees.

While Biden and Trump were the last remaining major candidates for their parties’ 2024 presidential nominations, The Associated Press only uses the designation “presumptive nominee” once a candidate has captured the number of delegates needed to win a majority vote at the national party conventions this summer.

This is fourth time both Trump and Biden ran for president.

Trump ran in 2000 as a Reform Party candidate. He got out after Ralph Nader won the nomination.

Trump ran in 2016 as a Republican candidate, became the nominee and was elected as the 45th President of the United States. He ran as an incumbent and lost to Joe Biden. Now he is running as the Republican candidate and will be the nominee. If he wins, he will be the 47th President of the United States. He will be the second president since Grover Cleveland who won two terms as the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. He is the only president to be impeached twice, indicted for federal crimes, indicted for state crimes and found liable for sexual assault.

Biden ran in 1988 as a Democratic candidate. 

Biden ran in 2008 as a Democratic candidate. He was picked as the vice presidential candidate for Barack Obama, the first African American to be a nominee on a national party ticket. Obama was elected to be the 44th President of the United States. Biden became the 47th Vice President of the United States. He served two terms as Obama's vice president. Obama is the only African American to become President of the United States.

Biden ran in 2020 as a Democratic candidate. He became the nominee and was elected as the 46th President of the United States. Biden, is the oldest president elected. He also picked the first woman as the vice presidential candidate. Kamala Harris is currently the first woman and first African American to be the 49th Vice President of the United States.

Biden and Trump are both running in 2024. Biden is an incumbent who will be the Democratic nominee. This both Biden and Trump's fourth run for president.

The recent results of Tuesday's primaries 

Biden carried Northern Mariana Islands, Georgia, Mississippi and Washington. He also won the Democrats Abroad coalition.

Trump carried American Samoa, Georgia, Hawai'i, Mississippi and Washington.

Both have enough delegates to secure their nomination.

Biden will continue with Harris as his running mate.

Trump will not pick Mike Pence as his running mate. The 48th Vice President of the United States and former Indiana governor withdrew from the Republican presidential race early after he was polling below 2%. He is likely to endorse Trump despite his feud with his former boss.

A presidential candidate doesn’t officially become the Republican or Democratic nominee until winning the vote on the convention floor.
