The American president and his predecessor are getting closer to a new duel during the presidential election in November.
US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump won the vast majority of primaries on “Super Tuesday”, moving closer to a new clash in November for the presidential election.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump each won California, Texas, Alabama, Colorado, Maine, Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Minnesota and Massachusetts. Joe Biden also won the Democratic primaries in Utah, Vermont and Iowa.
Nikky Haley won the Republican primary in Vermont, preventing Donald Trump from going flawless, but the former president won other states which could have been favorable to the former United States ambassador to the United States, such as Virginia, Massachusetts and Maine, which have large numbers of moderate voters.
Not enough states will have voted before the end of March for Donald Trump or Joe Biden to officially become their party’s presidential nominee. But the most important day of the primaries made their return match a virtual certainty.
The only competition Joe Biden lost on Tuesday was the Democratic caucus in American Samoa, a tiny territory in the South Pacific Ocean. He was defeated there by a previously unknown candidate, Jason Palmer, 51 votes to 40.
It’s not for nothing that we call it ‘Super Tuesday,'” Donald Trump declared to his supporters. He then attacked Joe Biden on the question of the border between the United States and Mexico and on the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan.
The US president did not give a speech, but issued a statement in which he warned that Tuesday’s results left Americans with a clear choice and praised his record.
“If Donald Trump returns to the White House, all of this progress is at risk,” did he declare. “He is driven by grievance and greed, focused on his own revenge and retribution, not the American people.”
