High-Stakes Rematch Is Set

“President Biden and former President Donald Trump won enough delegates to become the presumptive nominees of their parties in the latest round of primary voting Tuesday, more definitively starting the clock on a bitter and costly eight-month general election campaign,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“For months there has been little uncertainty about their eventual selection—a pairing of elderly candidates most Americans don’t want.”

New York Times: “Tuesday’s results cleared the way for a 2024 general election campaign that, at just under eight months, is set to be one of the longest in modern American history and will be the country’s first presidential rematch in nearly 70 years.”

Washington Post: “Biden has sought to frame the election as a choice between two vastly different presidents, hoping to make the race as much of a referendum on Trump as on himself.”
