President Joe Biden has become the presumptive 2024 Democratic nominee for the upcoming presidential election after winning the Georgia primary, amassing the 1,968 delegates needed to win the nomination. On the other hand, former President Donald Trump is dealing with a series of legal problems.

Biden's path to the nomination has been steady, marked by victories in primaries and caucuses across the country. Donald Trump is also expected to receive his party's nomination with a possible victory in Georgia on Tuesday night.

The upcoming election will be the first presidential contest between two presidents since 1956.

Trump is also going to win his party's nomination. However, he has several challenges to address.

Donald Trump faces 91 felonies in four criminal cases related to his handling of classified documents and attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump is 137 delegates short of the 1,215 needed to win the Republican nomination at the National Party Convention this summer.

The two rivals face multiple challenges. Biden, at 81, is working to reassure voters of his physical and mental fitness for office while navigating dissent within his party's progressive base.

“I guess he's going to be the candidate. I'm his only opponent other than life, life itself,” Trump told CNBCwhile taking a dig at his 81-year-old rival's age.
