Trump defeats Indian-American primary, Biden wins Democratic in Michigan primary
The Daily Guardian|February 29, 2024
Voters handed decisive victories to US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump in their respective parties’ presidential primaries in Michigan on Tuesday, increasing the chances of a 2020 rematch between the two leaders in the race for the White House in 2024. Trump easily defeated his main rival, Indian-American Nikki Haley, winning yet another early contest and additional delegates – bringing him one step closer to being able to formally secure the Republican Party’s nomination in November.

When the last reports came in, Haley had received 26.5 per cent of the votes as against Trump’s massive 68.2 per cent. US media outlets projected that 77-year-old Trump would sweep the Michigan primary with more than 40 per cent of the votes against 52-year-old Haley.

Trump’s win further shuts the door on former South Carolina Governor Haley’s hopes of building momentum ahead of next week’s Super Tuesday contests, when more than one-third of the Republican Party’s delegates are at stake.

Trump has previously won the Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire primary, caucuses in Nevada and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and South Carolina primary. He needs 1,215 delegates to formally secure the nomination.

Trump reached the Michigan Republican Watch Party Tuesday night shortly after the race was called in his favour.
