Joe Biden and Donald Trump are set to become the presumptive nominees of their parties as they face off for a second time in November.
Biden and Trump are still short the required delegates to become their party’s presumptive presidential nominee. But after they win the Tuesday night primaries, they are expected to clear the threshold to do so comfortably., will also surpass the 1,968 delegates needed to become the Democratic nominee, setting the stage for a repeat of the 2020 election.
The Biden-Trump rematch is a feat that hasn’t happened in American history since 1956 when former Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated former Democratic Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson for the second time. The first time was in 1952.Before the Eisenhower-Stevenson battles, former Republican President William McKinley and Democrat William Jennings Bryan faced off in 1896 and 1900. Bryan lost both times.
In many ways, Trump is running to avenge his 2020 loss to Biden. But, as he battles 91 criminal charges across four cases, with two of the cases related to alleged attempts to overturn the election, the former president will need to avoid a felony conviction, which could cost him just enough votes to lose to Biden again. Trump is hoping to delay the trials until after the November election.
“Do I think that we’re going to be missing major coalitions or major groups of votes come November because of what happened in the last several weeks? I don’t,” said chairman of the Wisconsin GOP Brian Schimming. “I feel like it’s going to come together pretty well.” On Saturday, the Biden campaign announced a $30 million ad buy targeting voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina—the crucial battleground states that will decide the election.
