President Joe Biden on March 12 secured the Democratic nomination after an overwhelming win in swing-state Georgia, as his rival, former President Donald Trump, won enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination when several primaries were called later that evening.
“I am honored that the broad coalition of voters representing the rich diversity of the Democratic Party across the country have put their faith in me once again to lead our party—and our country—in a moment when the threat Trump poses is greater than ever,” President Biden said in a statement shared by the White House upon his becoming the presumptive Democratic Party’s nominee.
