Trump vs. Biden 2024 Election Showdown Begins as Haley Exits Race

Trump vs. Biden 2024:

Nikki Haley, former President Donald Trump’s last challenger in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, suffered major defeats in Super Tuesday party primaries in more than a dozen states across the country. She stopped campaigning on Wednesday (March 6).

Trump’s former U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley, congratulated Trump but stopped short of announcing her support for him. But she acknowledged that he is almost certain to become the leader of the Republican Party, challenging President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election. Biden also defeated a token opponent in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.

Haley said she wished Trump well, but said he will need to “work hard to win the votes of people in our party and outside our party who don’t support him.”

Since voting began in January, she has regularly won between a quarter and more than 40% of the vote against Trump in party primaries, but she has only won twice: last weekend in Washington and on Tuesday in Washington. The small northeastern state of Vermont.

Trump said on his social media site, “Nikki Haley was absolutely routed last night in record fashion, even though Democrats were allowed to vote in Vermont and several other Republican primaries for unknown reasons. “

Donald Trump has made it clear that he does not want Nikki Haley’s vote,” Biden said in a statement, already hoping to capture some of the votes cast for Haley in the national election in eight months. supporters. I want to be clear: They have a place in my campaign.”

He said, “I know we will have many differences. But in standing up for American democracy, standing up for the rule of law, and being treated with decency, dignity, and respect, “I hope and believe we can find common ground on basic issues such as each other, safeguarding NATO, and standing up to America’s adversaries.”

Haley said she did not regret running for president and said she would continue to speak out on public issues immediately Pointing out that it is “obligatory” for Congress to approve bills providing more aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

However, Republican lawmakers are already divided over continuing to help the Kiev government fight Russia’s two-year invasion of Ukraine, and the aid package, backed by Biden, nearly all Democrats, and a sizable portion of Republicans, has stalled.

Democratic lawmakers firmly support Biden’s re-election, and most Republicans also support Trump.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell often feuded with Trump during his presidency from 2017 to 2021, but McConnell said Wednesday that “it’s very clear that former President Trump has won the support of Republican voters necessary to become our party’s presidential nominee. As the nominee, it is no surprise that he has my support.”

Haley, 52, is a former South Carolina governor and U.S. regular representative to the United Nations. She has been telling voters for months that it’s time for America to elect a new generation of leaders. She believes that neither Trump, 77, nor Biden, 81, is suitable to manage the country during the new four-year term that starts in January next year.

Trump faces an unprecedented four criminal indictments covering 91 charges, but he has huge support among Republican followers. On Super Tuesday, he easily defeated Haley in 14 of the 15 states holding party primaries.

Biden also dominated the Democratic race, losing only in the caucuses of the U.S. territory of American Samoa. After Biden’s victory, his Democratic challenger, Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips, withdrew from the race on Wednesday.

Neither Trump nor Biden have officially received the presidential nomination from the Republican or Democratic parties in the November election, but they are expected to win the number of delegates needed to obtain the nomination in party primaries in other states in the coming weeks. The pair will then be formally nominated at this summer’s national party convention.

But Tuesday’s vote unofficially kicks off one of the longest presidential campaign seasons ever in the United States. We are currently eight months away from Election Day.

Biden said in a statement that Tuesday’s results “leave the American people with a clear choice: Do we move forward, or do we allow Donald Trump to drag us back into the chaos, division, and darkness that marked his tenure?” “

My message to the country is this: Every generation of Americans will face a time when they must defend our democracy. Stand up for our individual freedoms. Stand up for voting rights and our civil rights. For everyone who believes in freedom And Democrats, Republicans, and Independents of a Fair America: This is our moment. This is our fight. Together, we will win.”

Trump said on his social media platform, “We will. Let’s make America great again, together, greater than ever!”

He wrote, “November 5th will go down as the most important day in the history of our country! We will win this election because we have no choice. If we lose the election, there will be no country!”

Trump won the presidency in 2016 but lost his re-election bid to Biden in 2020, and he still falsely claims he was defeated by the vote and counting. Voting irregularities robbed him of his chance for re-election.

He also faces four criminal indictments, including dozens of charges related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

While three of his trials have been postponed, one is set to begin on March 25 in a New York state court, in which he is accused of concealing a payment to a porn star in the run-up to the 2016 election. hush money to stop her from talking about a one-night stand she had with him ten years ago.

Trump has denied the incident and all 91 charges he faces.

Trump’s victories on Tuesday included the densely populated states of Texas and California, as well as Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Virginia, and North Carolina. He beat Haley by wide margins in state after state.

More states will hold primaries in the coming weeks as Biden and Trump seek to win enough delegates to secure the party nomination before the national convention. The two parties will formally select their party candidates to participate in the November general election at their respective conventions.

The Republican Party holds its national convention in July, and the Democratic Party in August.

National polls now show Trump narrowly ahead of Biden nationally and in several key battleground states that could decide the election.

In the United States, the national popular vote does not determine the outcome of a presidential election. The results of the general election are determined by the Electoral College. Among the 50 states, the winner of each state receives that state’s electoral votes. The largest states have the most electoral votes and therefore the greatest influence on the outcome of the national election.

Biden will take center stage Thursday night when he delivers his annual State of the Union address before Congress and a national television audience.

He is expected to tout the progress of the U.S. economy during his more than three years in office, even as polls show many Americans believe he has mismanaged the economy and frequently complain about rising grocery prices — something no one can avoid. Consumption.
