Biden and Trump set for election rematch

March 13, 2024 by Rexford Dede Baah-Nyarkoh

US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both surpassed the delegate thresholds necessary to secure their respective party nominations, following victories in several states during the recent primary elections. The two giants are set for election rematch.

This sets the stage for a historic rematch between the two 2020 contenders in the upcoming 2024 US presidential election, marking the first time in 70 years that such a rematch has occurred.

Polling indicates a closely contested race, likely hinging on narrow margins in key states.

The official nominations will be confirmed at the party conventions scheduled for this summer.

President Biden, aged 81, expressed gratitude for the support of voters amid what he characterized as an increasingly urgent need to counter the perceived threat posed by Trump’s continued influence.

He highlighted positive economic trends but acknowledged challenges to American democracy and social programs.

Trump, 77, maintains strong support within the Republican base, propelling him to victory in primary contests with well-funded opponents. His campaign focuses on promises to strengthen immigration laws, combat crime, boost domestic energy production, and pursue an “America first” foreign policy.

Despite dissatisfaction among Americans over the prospect of another Biden-Trump showdown, both candidates have dominated their respective races, leading to largely expected results.

The US presidential primaries and caucuses involve a state-by-state competition to secure party delegates, with each state allocated a specific number of delegates.

Republicans require at least 1,215 delegates to secure their presidential nomination, while Democrats need 1,968.

Tuesday’s primaries took place in multiple states for both parties, with the results confirming Biden and Trump as the presumptive nominees.

With their delegate thresholds met, the focus now shifts to the 2024 general election, scheduled for November 5, 2024.

While the primaries officially kickstart the electoral process, several states have yet to hold their contests.

Nevertheless, with Biden and Trump securing their nominations, the stage is set for a highly anticipated rematch in what promises to be a closely watched election.

Trump Challenges Biden To A Debate

March 7, 2024 by Rexford Dede Baah-Nyarkoh

Donald Trump challenges Joe Biden for televised debates, signaling a potential rematch in the upcoming White House race. The call for debates comes on the heels of both candidates’ victories on Super Tuesday, setting the stage for a contentious electoral showdown.

Donald Trump, the Republican contender, has boldly declared his willingness to engage in televised debates with Democratic incumbent Joe Biden. Emphasizing his readiness for a face-off, Trump’s statement, made in capital letters online, underscores his eagerness to confront Biden on any platform and at any time. The challenge, unleashed shortly after the withdrawal of Trump’s last Republican rival, Nikki Haley, underscores the momentum building towards the presidential showdown.

The absence of any agreed-upon debate schedule underscores the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election. Trump’s proposal for debates to be organized by either the Democratic National Committee or the Commission on Presidential Debates highlights his openness to various arrangements. However, he criticizes the latter, accusing it of partisan bias.

Trump’s repeated assertions regarding Biden’s age and cognitive abilities serve as a backdrop to the debate challenge. In response, Biden’s campaign dismisses Trump’s overtures as attention-seeking and suggests the president tune into Biden’s forthcoming State of the Union address instead. This back-and-forth sets the stage for a potential clash of rhetoric and policy.

The Trump campaign’s eagerness to engage in televised debates contrasts with Trump’s previous reluctance during the Republican primaries. His decision to forego debates with intra-party rivals underscores his confidence at the time. However, with the general election looming, Trump’s strategy appears to pivot towards engaging his Democratic opponent head-on.

As the electoral race heats up, Trump’s challenge to Biden for televised debates marks a pivotal moment in the campaign. The exchange of rhetoric between the two camps underscores the high stakes and intense scrutiny surrounding the upcoming presidential contest. With both candidates poised for battle, the nation awaits the outcome of this political spectacle.

Race To The White House: Trump vs. Biden Rematch Virtually Set After Super Tuesday Results

Trump vs. Biden Rematch Set After Super Tuesday Results

According to forecasts based on Super Tuesday primary election results for both major parties in the United States, a repeat of the 2020 contest between Donald Trump and Joseph Biden will take place in November of this year.

Trump, 77, significantly leads Nikki Haley, whose Super Tuesday victory in Vermont and one in Washington last Sunday did little to affect the outcome.

According to Republican observers, particularly those in Trump’s camp, the likelihood of Haley, 52, reversing this trend is virtually zero at this point, and so no additional primary voting should be done. In principle, the primaries may run until July, but Trump’s team forecasts a victory by March 19 at the latest, following the vote in Georgia and Florida.

“They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,” Trump said. “This is a big one.” Trump’s victories Tuesday included contests in California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina and Texas. Nevertheless, he still needs to sort out a barrage of legal actions against him, the first criminal trial scheduled to start in New York on March 25.

Biden, 81, has won the Democratic Party’s primaries or caucuses in 15 states, including Virginia, Texas, Minnesota, and Colorado. “Today, millions of voters across the country made their voices heard — showing that they are ready to fight back against Donald Trump’s extreme plan to take us backwards,” said Vice President Joe Biden in a statement.

He also cautioned that another term for Trump would bring “chaos, division, and darkness.” The incumbent president, whose capacity to occupy the position is continually questioned due to the “age issue,” is expected to demonstrate his fitness for duty on Thursday at his “State of the Union” address to Congress.

The race is set to the White House, as a know we all know the nominees for the Democrat and the Republican. Donald Trump or Joe Biden, who will you be voting for?

UPDATE: Donald Trump Wins North Dakota Republican Caucuses

March 10, 2024March 5, 2024 by Asare Michael Baarffour (Devarsh)

Former US president, Donald Trump, wins North Dakota Republican caucuses ahead of the Super Tuesday elections.

Donald Trump won the North Dakota Republican presidential caucuses on Monday, extending his winning streak heading into Super Tuesday.

The former president finished first in voting at 12 caucus sites, ahead of former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. The outcome restores Trump’s winning streak, which was briefly disrupted on Sunday when Haley won her first campaign victory in the District of Columbia’s primary.

The White House hopefuls now turn their attention to Super Tuesday, when results from 16 states and one territory will be in, totaling the single largest delegate haul of any day in the presidential primary. Trump and Democrat President Joe Biden are leading their respective races and are expected to win their nominations later this month.

North Dakota’s rules state that candidates can win delegates if they receive at least 20% of the vote. However, a candidate who receives at least 60% of the vote is guaranteed all 29 delegates from the state.

Four candidates appeared on the ballot, including Trump and Nikki Haley. Other candidates who have received little attention include Florida businessman David Stuckenberg and Texas businessman and pastor Ryan Binkley, whose campaign ended recently.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who ended his unsuccessful presidential campaign in December, spoke on Trump’s behalf Monday night. He endorsed Trump ahead of the Iowa caucuses.

“I think we’re going to send a message that is going to be a kickoff to tomorrow, which is President Donald Trump is going to close this out, this is going to be the end of the trail, and we’re going to say we have a nominee, and let’s go after it, and beat Joe Biden in the fall,” Burgum said in a virtual address to caucusgoers.

Karen Groninger, a retired music teacher and librarian from Almont, said Monday that she voted for Trump, calling him the best choice. The 76-year-old cited Trump’s 2020 speech at the annual March for Life anti-abortion event in Washington, D.C.—the first by a sitting president—as well as his border policies.

We await results from the Super Tuesday elections.

Trump Poised To Dominate ‘Super Tuesday’ as Haley Makes Last Stand

March 10, 2024March 4, 2024 by Asare Michael Baarffour (Devarsh)

Former US president, Donald Trump is poised to dominate ‘super Tuesday’ over Nikki Haley regarding the GOP presidential nomination.

Donald Trump is set to continue his march to the GOP presidential nomination on Tuesday when 15 states vote to award more than a third of the party’s delegates and see how quickly Republicans rally behind the former president.

Trump has decisively won all but one contest thus far and is expected to sweep “Super Tuesday,” a normally high-stakes event on the primary calendar that has lost its suspense due to the former president’s dominance.

Despite Trump’s near-incumbent status in the race, a sizable, if losing, percentage of voters have chosen another candidate in several contests, highlighting some voters’ concerns and the potential general election challenges ahead. His last remaining GOP challenger, Nikki Haley, has cited this trend as a reason to continue her campaign.

In many ways, a rematch between President Biden and Trump is already underway, and observers and strategists expressed varying opinions on what the margins in the GOP contests mean for Trump in November.

The incumbent and his allies are increasingly critical of Trump as a threat to democracy, abortion rights, and other liberties, while the former president has hammered Biden on immigration and the economy. Trump’s 91 criminal charges, which he used to rally supporters in the primary, are also expected to play a role in the fall campaign.

Trump’s team plans to secure the nomination by March 19, according to advisers. Haley, the former United Nations ambassador, has only committed to staying in the race until Tuesday, paving the way for a possible quick exit. Recent polling shows that more than 90% of registered Republicans support Trump over Biden, who is dealing with low Democratic enthusiasm and cracks in the coalition that helped him win a narrow victory in 2020.

At the same time, the primaries have highlighted Haley’s appeal to independents and college-educated voters, as she presents a compelling case against Trump. Super Tuesday will reveal more about who supports Trump and who may need to be persuaded in the coming months.

Nikki Haley beats Donald Trump in Washington DC for first primary victory

March 10, 2024March 4, 2024 by Rexford Dede Baah-Nyarkoh

In a significant development in the 2024 Republican presidential campaign, Nikki Haley beats Donald Trump in Washington DC primaries.

She has emerged victorious over Donald Trump in the Republican primary held in Washington DC. This marks her first triumph over the former president in the ongoing race for the Republican presidential nomination.

Despite losing in her home state of South Carolina, Nikki Haley’s win in Washington DC is historic as she becomes the first woman to clinch a Republican primary victory in US history. However, it’s important to note that Donald Trump maintains a substantial lead over Haley, positioning himself as the frontrunner to potentially face Joe Biden in the November election.

Nikki Haley secured a decisive victory, capturing 62.9% of the vote compared to Trump’s 33.2%. She will receive all 19 Republican delegates from Washington DC, adding to her nationwide delegate count of 43, which pales in comparison to Trump’s 247.

This victory, albeit symbolic to some extent, underscores a rejection of Trump’s leadership by Republicans in a heavily Democrat-leaning jurisdiction like Washington DC, where only a fraction of registered Republicans participated in the primary.

Following her win, Nikki Haley’s campaign emphasized a rejection of “Washington dysfunction” and Trump’s “chaos,” positioning her as a candidate for change. In contrast, the Trump Campaign swiftly dismissed Haley’s victory, labeling her as the “Queen of the Swamp,” a nod to her establishment ties.

Despite this setback, Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican primaries nationwide, poised to accrue more delegates in upcoming contests, particularly on Super Tuesday, where a substantial number of delegates are at stake.

Nikki Haley remains resolute in her campaign, vowing to continue competing until at least 5 March, when several states hold their primaries on Super Tuesday. With the race intensifying, both candidates are gearing up for a protracted battle to secure the Republican nomination and ultimately challenge the Democratic incumbent in the upcoming presidential election.

US 2024 Presidential Election: Donald Trump Wins South Carolina Primary

March 10, 2024February 26, 2024 by Asare Michael Baarffour (Devarsh)

US 2024 Presidential Election: Trump Wins South Carolina Primary

Former President Donald Trump won a commanding victory in the South Carolina Republican primary, securing his position as the frontrunner for the 2024 candidature.

According to the Associated Press, Trump won 68% of the vote, far ahead of his closest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who received 15%. The other contenders, including former Vice President Mike Pence, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, trailed by single digits.

The victory in South Carolina, a major early-voting state, gives Trump additional momentum and delegates as he aims to regain the White House after losing to President Joe Biden in 2020. Trump has maintained a devoted network of followers in the state, where he won by 12 points.

Trump thanked his supporters during a rally in Columbia, the state capital, where he repeated his baseless claims of election fraud and criticised the Biden administration’s policies on immigration, energy, and foreign policy.

“We are going to take back our country from the radical left and make America great again,” Trump stated, drawing applause from the audience. “We are the party of law and order, of liberty and wealth, of fortitude and courage. We are Donald J. Trump’s party, and we will not give up.

Trump also attacked his Republican opponents, labelling them “weak” and “disloyal” and urged them to get out of the race. He claimed he was the only one capable of defeating Biden in 2024 and restoring the ‘America first’ agenda.

The South Carolina primary results indicate that Trump retains a strong hold on the Republican Party, despite facing impeachment, lawsuits, and social media bans after leaving office. Candidates around the country have sought his endorsement, and his influence has helped shape the party’s direction and tone.

However, Trump faces tremendous difficulties and uncertainty as he seeks a political return. He is facing various investigations and legal battles for his financial practices, his role in the Capitol violence on January 6, and his attempts to overturn election results. He is also barred from using major social media platforms, which limits his capacity to interact with his supporters and raise donations.

Furthermore, Trump could face a more diverse and competitive field of candidates in the next primaries, as some Republicans strive to distance themselves from his divisive language and appeal to a larger population.

Some possible competitors, such Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and former Ohio Governor John Kasich, have yet to enter the campaign, but they may do so in the coming months.

The next Republican primary will take place in Nevada on March 4, followed by Arizona on March 11 and Michigan on March 18. Trump is projected to win these states, although he may face stiffer competition in later races such as New Hampshire, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
