US elections 2024: Can Joe Biden, Donald Trump secure party nominations this week?

Both President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the presumed Republican opponent, are expected to secure enough delegates this week to secure the nomination of their respective parties, starting a brutal eight-month battle for the White House.

Tuesday's elections in four states will probably award Biden and Trump the delegates need to secure the nominations. With overwhelming performances in last week's Super Tuesday contests forcing the final big primary competitors out of the race, their trajectories are barely in doubt, according to Associated Press.

However, this week may serve as a turning point for many voters who aren't tuned in to the daily ups and downs of the country's volatile politics, reaffirming that another Biden-Trump campaign is all but certain, whether or not Americans want it. And those bitter political and cultural divisions are about to widen as a result of that rematch, which is the first in a US presidential race since 1956.

For anyone who continue to doubt that Trump, who is accused with 91 felonies in four separate criminal cases, will lead the Republican Party in this fall's general election, Tuesday ought to serve as a wake-up call.

If the former president keeps up his dominant performance from the primary season, he should be able to secure enough delegates to secure the Republican Party's nomination for president. And there's every reason to think he will, since there isn't a strong opponent on the ticket.

Similar to Trump, Biden is about to earn enough delegates to be the Democratic Party's front-runner for the presidency.

As he has no formidable opponents, Biden is expected to hit that milestone. However, he is also up against persistent opposition from the left side of his party, which might undermine the accomplishment.
