Joe Biden and Donald Trump won the Democratic and Republican party primaries on Tuesday (19), respectively, in the states of Ohio, Illinois, Kansas and Florida, as expected, according to projections from NBC, Fox and CBS television.
With this, the president of the United States, 81 years old, and his predecessor in office, 77, are the Democratic and Republican nominees for the November presidential elections, as they have already guaranteed the minimum number of delegates needed: 1968 for Biden and 1215 for Trump.
With that, 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 the disaffected, who normally vote to send dissident delegates to the convention of party in August, it was close to 10%.
It is worth remembering that 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 will be the last to close tonight.
Furthermore, to be officially proclaimed candidates, both politicians must wait for the conventions of both parties: first it will be the Republican one, from July 15th to 18th in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), and then the Democratic one, from August 19th to 22nd in Chicago (Illinois).
