Donald Trump, Joe Biden Win Michigan Primaries
Donald Trump has been called the winner of the Republican Presidential Primary in the State of Michigan tonight, handing the former President yet another primary victory in this election cycle against Nikki Haley.
Trump won the Iowa Caucuses, the New Hampshire Primary, the Nevada Caucuses, the South Carolina Primary, and now the Michigan Primary, giving him a clean sweep to this point.
On the Democrat side of the aisle, President Joe Biden easily won his contest, as he continues to sweep every state in the Democratic primaries. As the incumbent, Biden truly has no real challenger.
The lone challenger to Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dropped out of the Democrat Primaries to run for President as an independent candidate months ago, paving the way for Biden to have no real opposition in his incumbent race for the 2024 Democrat nomination.
AP reported on the results,
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won the Michigan primaries on Tuesday, further solidifying the all-but-certain rematch between the two men.
Biden defeated Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, his one significant opponent left in the Democratic primary. But Democrats were also closely watching the results of the “uncommitted” vote, as Michigan has become the epicenter for dissatisfied members of Biden’s coalition that propelled him to victory in the state — and nationally — in 2020. The number of “uncommitted” votes has already surpassed the 10,000-vote margin by which Trump won Michigan in 2016, surpassing a goal set by organizers of this year’s protest effort.
As for Trump, he has now swept the first five states on the Republican primary calendar. His victory in Michigan over his last major primary challenger, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, comes after the former president defeated her by 20 percentage points in her home state of South Carolina on Saturday. The Trump campaign is looking to lock up the 1,215 delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination sometime in mid-March.

It appears that a Trump-Biden rematch is inevitable heading into 2024, as Nikki Haley’s campaign continues to lose momentum.
