President Joe Biden and his Republican challenger Donald Trump won the primary presidential elections in the US state of Kentucky and secured more delegates for their parties' conventions, which will officially announce the Democratic and Republican candidates for the White House, the Associated Press reported, quoted by BTA.
In any case, the two have already effectively secured the party nomination and now they only need to be officially confirmed by the highest party forum of their parties.
Voters in Oregon also had the opportunity to vote. These final votes of the primary race, which are now a mere formality, give the two contenders the opportunity to secure one or two more delegates for their party's national conference, but also to check the mood and attitudes among the hard core of Democratic voters and Republicans at the end of the presidential primary race.
Even after ousting their rivals and effectively securing their parties' nominations, Biden and Trump continue to face intra-party opposition on a variety of issues. Protest voices have been raised against the Democrat because of his policy on the Israel-Hamas war, while in the case of the Republican, there are still thousands of people who continue to vote for the long-abandoned Nikki Haley.
After yesterday's election, there are still eight votes left in the primary race: for Democrats in Idaho, the District of Columbia, Guam and the Virgin Islands, and for both parties in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota.
Meanwhile, Biden commented on the news about Trump's post on social media talking about a "united Reich". In the words of the Democrat, his rival from the Republican camp for the White House is using "Hitler's language".
"This is the language of Hitler, not America,", Biden said at a campaign fundraiser.
Trump removed a video uploaded to his Truth Social account after Biden's staff and others criticized the use of language often associated with the Nazi regime.
