Both presidential candidates have reached their respective thresholds for becoming their parties’ nominees.
| US President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump secured their parties’ presidential nominations on Tuesday , setting up an election rematch of two of the oldest and most unpopular candidates since World War II.
“I assume he’s going to be the candidate,” Mr Trump said on CNBC. “I’m his only opponent other than life, life itself.”Even before Tuesday’s contests, both leaders had already switched their focus from winning the primaries to attacking one another. Mr Biden, already the oldest president in US history, faces growing voter concerns that he is too old for the job, while the 77-year-old Trump is facing decades in prison as a defendant in four criminal cases.
Georgia has been in the national spotlight since 2020 when it turned from Republican to Democrat, and is also the focus of election integrity debates and a court case against Mr Trump and his advisers on accusations of plotting to overthrow a legitimate election.
