Summary from the AllSides News Team

Details: Following primary wins on Tuesday, Biden is projected to secure the Democratic Party nomination, and Trump is projected to secure the Republican nomination. Both candidates reached the threshold for delegates needed for the nomination.

Republican Primary: Former President Donald Trump won the Republican primaries in Mississippi, Georgia, and Washington. Trump’s last Republican competitor, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, suspended her campaign last week after Super Tuesday.
