President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are set to reach the thresholds to become their parties’ presumptive presidential nominees after Tuesday night election results roll in.
One week after Super Tuesday, voters in Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington state will head to the polls on Tuesday, along with Democrats in the Northern Mariana Islands and Democrats abroad.
At stake for Trump on Tuesday are 161 delegates from Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington. In addition to the 1,075 delegates Trump already has, the delegates up for grabs on Tuesday will push him over the 1,215-delegate threshold to become the GOP nominee.
Biden has amassed 1,866 delegates during the primary season, which is very close to the 1,968 delegates needed to become the Democratic nominee. With little opposition, he will win enough of the 254 delegates in Georgia, Mississippi, the Northern Mariana Islands, Washington, and Democrats abroad at stake on Tuesday to reach the threshold.
