Joe Biden and Donald Trump
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump secured victories in the Texas primaries on Tuesday, positioning themselves for a potential rematch in the upcoming November presidential election.
The Associated Press swiftly declared both candidates as winners in the state, following the closure of polls at 8 p.m. Central Time. Notably, Biden faced no significant competition in the Democratic primary, while Trump overcame his last challenger, Nikki Haley.
The outcome of the Texas primaries, and the broader success in nomination contests nationwide, strongly suggest a déjà vu of the 2020 election, setting the stage for a Biden-Trump faceoff in the upcoming general election.
Trump’s triumph in the universal primary elections reflects his adept mobilisation of supporters, effective campaigning in key states, and the accumulation of sufficient delegates to secure the Republican nomination. This victory in the primary elections becomes a pivotal stride for Trump on his path to the presidency, underscoring a resounding mandate from Republican voters.
Super Tuesday, a day when numerous states make their candidate selections, proved decisive as both candidates virtually clinched their party nominations. The development signalled a significant step forward for Trump, reinforcing his standing as the preferred Republican candidate.
In a notable development, sources familiar with Nikki Haley’s plans revealed to Sky News’s US partner, NBC News, that she would exit the race and abstain from providing an endorsement. Instead, she is expected to encourage Trump to actively seek the support of Republicans and independent voters who previously backed her candidature.
Haley, a 52-year-old former governor of South Carolina, positioned herself as a solid conservative and a younger alternative to the 77-year-old Trump. With her withdrawal, Trump is now on a clear trajectory for a November showdown with the 2020 election victor, Democrat Joe Biden.
