The highly expected re-match between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden is all but sure to happen now.
On Tuesday night, Trump and Biden won the nominations of the Republican and Democrat parties, respectively.
The former president started Tuesday with 1,184 delegates, and after Georgia’s primary contest, he secured the necessary 1,215 delegates.
After the contest, Trump said in a video, “Hello everyone, it’s your favorite president speaking to you on a really great day of victory.”
“One week ago, we had something called Super Tuesday, and it was indeed super because we won at numbers that nobody has ever seen before. Records in virtually every state, and tonight, likewise. But this one got us over the top. The Republican National Committee has just declared us the official nominee and so we’re the official nominee of the Republican Party, which is a big deal, but most importantly we now have to go on to victory because our country’s in serious trouble,” he continued.

He added, “Again, this is a great day of victory, last week was something very special, Super Tuesday, but now we have to get back to work because we have the worst president in the history of our country. His name is Joe Biden.”
Biden also won his party’s nomination, after he won locked in the necessary 1,968 delegates.
The results of the primary means what seemed like an all but inevitable re-match between the two men will take place this fall, even as polls have shown vast numbers of Americans have said they wanted other options to vote for.
