The nominations of Trump and Biden will be made official at their parties' conventions this summer.
On Tuesday, March 12, Biden, 81, said he was honoured to have the voters' support in his re-election bid at a time "when the threat Trump poses is greater than ever".
Joe Biden's speech after Democrat's nomination
The president highlighted positive economic trends, asserting that the US was "in the midst of a comeback." However, he acknowledged challenges ahead for the country as a democracy.
This especially, he said, came from those seeking for the abort*ion restriction to be passed and cut social programmes.
Biden is equipped with the power of incumbency, which naturally gives him the advantage of no serious challengers for the nomination of the Democrats.
There have been concerns from voters about his age and ability to perform presidential duties, but the party's machinery supported him.
Donald Trump's 2024 election campaigns
On the other hand, 77-year-old Trump had been popular with the republican voter base, which aided his victory in the well-funded primary.
He has campaigned for a return to the White House with stricter immigration laws, which included the vow to "seal the border" and implement groundbreaking deportations.
The former US president promised to fight crime, boost domestic energy production, increase import tax, end the war in Ukraine, and take the "America First" campaign to the global stage.
