As for Mr. Trump, 77, his victory in Washington State (northwest) allowed him to cross the threshold of 1,215 delegates necessary for win the Republican Party nomination. As the two men prepare to repeat the 2020 match, Mr. Biden attacked his opponent in a statement. “I am honored that the broad coalition of voters representing the rich diversity of the Democratic Party across the country have placed their faith in me once again to lead party – and the country – at a time when the threat posed by Trump is greater than ever,” the Democrat said.

Joe Biden, 81, has never faced serious opposition and Donald Trump's last competitor, Nikki Haley, has threw in the towel on March 6. During the almost eight months that separate them from the November 5 vote, the two candidates will now be able to devote all their energy to their face- face to face. – The “mugshot” – Donald Trump is campaigning by directly opposing Joe Biden's policies on immigration, accusing his successor of having transformed the southern border of the United States into a sieve. But it was also at Mr. Trump's request that an immigration law, negotiated for months by members of both parties, was finally rejected by Republicans in Congress. The issue has become particularly sensitive in the state of Georgia, which voted Tuesday for the primaries, and where the murder of an American student by an illegal Venezuelan was highlighted by the camp Republican. Donald Trump has made it the symbol of Joe Biden's immigration policy, whom he accuses of being too lax in the face of the numerous arrivals at the border with Mexico.

In the momentum of a particularly pugnacious speech before Congress on Thursday, Joe Biden went to Atlanta to try to mobilize the African-American and Hispanic electorate. Donald Trump performed an imitation of a stuttering Joe Biden, a way of mocking, as he regularly does, the mental and physical form that he considered to be lacking in his competitor.
