Washington: The competition between US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump for their parties' presidential nominations is intensifying, notably following the concurrent primary elections held in 16 states on Tuesday. The significance of these primaries lies not only in determining the main candidates for the presidency but also in influencing other important positions, such as governors in states like North Carolina and California.

The outcome of these elections is crucial, and whoever emerges victorious will have a substantial impact. Some voters express the sentiment that it would be preferable if the rivals from the 2020 election did not contend in the final face-off, a viewpoint supported by a poll conducted by the AP-NORC Public Affairs Research Center. The majority of Americans believe that neither Biden nor Trump possesses sufficient mental strength.

Trump, on the other hand, will revive the slogan 'Let's make America great again.' The White House spokesman emphasized that Biden's campaign would provide a response. Having already surpassed a dozen major contenders, Trump has emerged as the leading candidate, with Nikki Haley being the only remaining opponent. Trump secured victory in the North Carolina Republican caucuses.
