Joe Biden and Donald Trump won, on Tuesday, the primaries of the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, in the states of Ohio, Illinois, Kansas and Florida, as expected, according to projections from NBC, Fox and CBS television.
The President of the United States, 81 years old, and his predecessor in office (2017-2021), 77, are the Democratic and Republican nominees for the November presidential elections, as they have already secured the minimum number of delegates needed: 1,968 for Biden and 1,215 for Trump.
The media projected the victory of the two candidates shortly after the polls closed, and they have already given all the Republican delegates that were at stake to Trump in Ohio (79) and Kansas (39), while the recount continues in Illinois ( 64).
Biden ran for 167 delegates in Ohio, 127 in Illinois and 33 in Kansas, and won comfortable victories, between 87% and 90%, with the exception of Kansas, where the vote of discontented people who normally vote to send dissident delegates to the party convention in August, it was close to 10%.
In Florida, Democrats canceled the primaries and chose to award all 224 delegates to Biden, while Trump won 125 delegates, according to projections.
Polling stations in Arizona were the last to close that night (local time). To be officially proclaimed candidates, both politicians must wait for the conventions of both parties.
First it will be the Republican one, from the 15th to the 18th of July in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), and then the Democrat one, from the 19th to the 22nd of August in Chicago (Illinois).
