President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening were each projected to secure enough delegates to lock up their respective party nominations and participate in a November rematch.
Biden cleared his party's 1,968-delegate threshold early in the evening after the Associated Press projected him to win Georgia. Trump cleared the 1,215-degelate GOP threshold later in the evening.
Biden and Trump each faced primary challengers and both managed to lose at least one nominating contest. In Biden's case, he faced Hollywood guru Marianne Williamson and Minnesota Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips. On Super Tuesday, however, he unexpectedly lost American Samoa to entrepreneur Jason Palmer.
Trump faced more opponents, including former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and a host of others. Haley dropped out last week after managing to win only Washington, D.C., and Vermont.
