Today's primaries in Georgia, Mississippi, Washington state, and the Republican caucuses in Hawaii could potentially solidify President Biden and former President Trump as the nominees for their respective parties in the upcoming presidential election.
President Biden currently holds 1,866 delegates, needing just 102 more to secure the Democratic renomination. On the other hand, former President Trump has 1,078 delegates and requires 137 more to become the presumptive nominee for the Republican party.
The state of Georgia presents the largest delegate count today, with 108 Democratic and 59 GOP delegates up for grabs. Washington follows with 92 Democratic and 43 GOP delegates at stake, while Mississippi offers 35 Democratic and 40 GOP delegates. Hawaii, with 18 GOP delegates, also plays a role in the Republican nomination process.
If former President Trump secures enough delegates from Washington, he could clinch the Republican nomination, depending on his performance in Georgia and Mississippi. President Biden, on the other hand, has the opportunity to become the Democratic presumptive nominee after the delegates in Georgia are allocated, provided he wins the majority of them.
As the primary results unfold, the focus remains on the delegate counts and the potential outcomes for both candidates. Stay tuned for further updates on the primaries and the path to the presidential nominations for President Biden and former President Trump.
