US President Joe Biden won the Democratic primary election in Washington and former President Donald Trump won the Republican primary election by a huge vote. Both have taken a step towards presidential candidature from their respective parties. There was no doubt earlier about the results of the primary elections in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state of America and the results have confirmed this assumption.
There was no tough challenge before Biden and Trump in these elections. With the victory in these states, both the leaders have gathered the support of the required number of delegates (party members representing the voters) to stake claim as presidential candidates on behalf of their respective parties. Now there is no doubt that the presidential election will be between Biden and Trump.
However, both the leaders are not very popular in the country. Let us tell you, Biden (81) is the oldest President in American history, while Trump also has many criminal cases registered against him. Biden issued a statement expressing happiness over the victory and candidacy, while Trump has been described as a threat to democracy.
Biden said Trump was “waging a campaign of outrage, of vengeance, that threatens the idea of America.” On Tuesday, on the eve of the primary elections, Trump had accepted that Biden would be the Democratic Party candidate.
