He’ll face President Joe Biden in November. Speaking on Truth network, Trump hailed the Republican Party’s unity and strength more than ever.
On Tuesday incumbent President Joe Biden also received enough delegates to become the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee. He won the Georgia primary and at least 100 of its 108 delegates, enough to put him above the 1,968 needed to lock up the nomination.
Cal Jillson, Professor of Political Science of Southern Methodist University (SMU) said it's quite rare in American political history for two presidential candidates to face each other twice.
“There were only six other times in US history when we had the same two people confront each other twice. This is quite rare. This maybe the less uplifting of the example that we have a chance to talk a little bit about. We’ll see over the next eight months.”
