In a significant development, Joe Biden has officially secured the Democratic nomination for president, according to CNN projections. This allows him to fully shift his focus towards the general election campaign as he vies for a second term. On the Republican side, Donald Trump is also on track to secure his party's presidential nomination.

On Tuesday, voters in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington participated in the presidential primaries, while Hawaii Republicans held caucuses. Voting also concluded in the primary for Democrats Abroad, the official arm of the Democratic Party for Americans living overseas. Earlier in the day, Biden was announced as the projected winner of the Democratic primary in the US territory of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Following the dominance of both Biden and Trump during last week's Super Tuesday, where they accumulated delegates needed for their parties' presumptive nominations, the stage is now set for their highly anticipated rematch. However, Trump will have to contend with a cloud of 91 felony charges hanging over him, ranging from allegations of plotting to overturn the 2020 election to the involvement in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol.

As the campaign progresses, Biden appears to be running a similar strategy to his 2020 campaign, emphasizing concerns over Trump's authoritative behavior and the state of the economy. Notably, Biden has faced little opposition from fellow candidates, with his only rival, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, dropping out and endorsing him last week.

While Biden's main opposition comes from general intraparty anxiety over his age and progressive dissatisfaction with the administration's support for Israel during the conflict with Hamas in Gaza, Trump has emerged as the clear frontrunner within the GOP despite facing competition from various challengers, including governors, senators, and right-wing personalities. However, he will need to win over skeptical segments of his own base to achieve the support levels of his previous campaign.

Although the outcome of the primaries seems predetermined, the elections in Georgia hold a symbolic significance for both candidates. Biden won the state by a narrow margin in 2020, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to do so since Bill Clinton in 1992. Trump's defeat triggered allegations of election subversion, which are now part of a wide-ranging conspiracy indictment set to be tried in Fulton County, home to Atlanta.

Over the weekend, both candidates held rallies in Georgia, approximately 60 miles apart. Biden, during his rally in Atlanta, emphasized the importance of embracing the future of freedom and democracy, while Trump, in Rome, Georgia, criticized Biden's recent State of the Union speech, describing it as "angry, dark, and hate-filled."

As the primaries continue, Biden embarked on a swing state tour, visiting Pennsylvania on Friday and Georgia before heading to New Hampshire on Monday. Trump, on the other hand, is set to host a rally for Bernie Moreno, his endorsed candidate in the GOP primary for the Democratic Senate race in Ohio, a critical election for Democratic hopes of retaining Senate control.

While there may be little suspense surrounding the primary outcomes, the ongoing primaries in various states serve as a pivotal moment for both Biden and Trump as they prepare for their anticipated November clash.
