President Joe Biden, who took office aiming to steady a nation convulsed by the coronavirus pandemic and the Jan. 6 insurrection, clinched a second straight Democratic nomination Tuesday.
Voters in Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi and Washington cast ballots Tuesday in primary elections and Biden has now clinched the Democratic nomination.President Joe Biden, who took office aiming to steady a nation convulsed by the coronavirus pandemic and the Jan. 6 insurrection, clinched a second straight Democratic nomination Tuesday and set up an all-but-certain rematch with the predecessor he blames for destabilizing the country.
Biden and his allies are betting that over a bruising seven-and-a-half-month general election, his Democratic base and independent voters fearful of a second Trump presidency will stand with him despite their misgivings. Their strategy to constantly highlight Trump's perceived shortcomings - combined with Trump's plan to attack Biden in brutally personal terms - sets up an spiritless campaign that many Americans said they didn't want but will have to decide in November anyway.
The U.S. emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic in an economic boom with low unemployment. After Trump fought his 2020 election loss on the basis of debunked theories about fraud, Biden signed an overhaul of the Electoral Count Act intended to make it harder for presidential losers to overturn election results in Congress.
And after campaigning to reverse Trump's immigration crackdown, Biden's White House struggled to process record numbers of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border without authorization - sometimes thousands of people a day. Republican states sent migrants on buses to Democratic-led cities that struggled to shelter them.
As he told Congress last week: "I know I may not look like it, but I've been around a while. When you get to be my age, certain things become clearer than ever."Biden argues he's proven to be a more effective leader than Trump. He and the Democrats also hold a significant cash advantage over Trump and the Republicans going into November, with the president raising $10 million in the 24 hours after the speech.
