President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump clinched their parties' presidential nominations Tuesday night, setting up a rematch in November.
Biden and Trump won their parties' presidential primaries in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington, while Trump also won the Republican caucuses in Hawaii.

“Today is a day, a call to action,” Biden says in voice-over. “With your voice, with your power, with your vote, when November comes we will vote in record numbers and we can do it, we have the power to do it. Are you ready? Are you ready to defend democracy? Are you ready to protect our freedom? Are you ready to win these elections?
The Trump campaign released an X-rated video of the former president later on Tuesday, shortly after securing the nomination.
“This was a great day of victory. Last week was something very special – Super Tuesday – but now we have to get back to work because we have the worst president in the history of the country. His name is Joe Biden, sometimes called corrupt Joe Biden, and we must defeat him,” Trump says in the video.
The shortened slate of elections follows last week's Super Tuesday, when Biden and Trump dominated across the map, putting both on the verge of winning the majority of delegates needed to be crowned their parties' presumptive nominees. His long-awaited but barely anticipated rematch is expected to mirror the 2020 campaign, although this time Trump will run under the specter of 91 felony charges.
