According to CNN projections, both Biden and Trump are expected to emerge victorious in their respective parties’ presidential primaries in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington. Additionally, on Tuesday, Hawaii Republicans are conducting caucuses while voting concludes in the primary for Democrats Abroad, which represents American citizens living overseas.
Furthermore, Biden is anticipated to win the Democratic primary in the US territory of the Northern Mariana Islands, which took place earlier on Tuesday.
Biden’s primary opposition arises from concerns within his party regarding his age and handling of key issues, particularly his administration’s stance on Israel during the conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Additionally, scrutiny has intensified following the release of a report by special counsel Robert Hur, which suggested mishandling and improper disclosure of classified information by Biden after his vice presidency tenure. Despite this, no charges have been brought forward, with Hur indicating insufficient evidence for prosecution during his testimony on Capitol Hill.

On the Republican front, Trump remains a prominent figure despite facing challenges from various contenders within his party, including governors, senators, and right-wing figures, as well as his former vice president, Mike Pence. The recent withdrawal of Nikki Haley, former governor of South Carolina, from the Republican race underscores the internal divisions within the party.
While not endorsing Trump, Haley emphasized the need for the former president to earn the support of those within and beyond the Republican base who remain skeptical of his leadership. Similarly, Trump must work to consolidate his support base to match previous levels of electoral success.
