Trump, Biden pick up delegates in five states

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump picked up more delegates in Tuesday’s primary elections.

Both candidates are the presumptive nominees for their parties. It’s expected that both candidates will receive their party’s official nomination come summer.

The Associated Press reported that Biden would win his primaries in Arizona, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio. With most of the vote count in, it’s expected Trump will win those states in the GOP primary as well as Florida.

In Florida, Democrats reportedly canceled their primary election and awarded all delegates to Biden.

Some of Trump’s former GOP challengers were on the ballot in Florida. Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the race following Super Tuesday, received around 14% of the vote, Politico reported. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who exited the race after Iowa, got around 4% of the vote in his home state.

What’s next for the primaries?

There are upcoming presidential primaries in Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Connecticut, Delaware and other states, NBC News reported.

Trump does not face any competitors for the Republican nomination. Marianne Williamson and Jason Palmer, who won in American Samoa, are still in the race for the Democratic nomination.

The Republican National Convention is scheduled to take place on July 15 in Milwaukee and the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Aug. 19.

The general election will be held on Nov. 5.

Latest general election polls

The latest general election polls compiled by ABC News’ FiveThirtyEight show Biden and Trump neck and neck.

A YouGov/The Economist poll puts Biden at 44% and Trump at 43%. A Morning Consult poll shows them tied at 43%. The latest Marist College polls put Trump at 46% and Biden at 43%.

A February 2024 Harvard/Harris X survey asked U.S. adults to choose between Trump, Biden and Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — that poll showed Trump at 44%, Biden at 37% and Kennedy at 18%.

“At this stage of the campaign, I wouldn’t ignore polls altogether, but I would take them with a grain of salt,” Northeastern University political science professor Costas Panagopoulos told Newsweek. He added polls become more reliable after Labor Day since it’s closer to the general election.

A Harvard/Harris X poll from February shows that 62% of U.S. adults said that the country needs another choice besides the two main party candidates. Only 38% said Biden and Trump are good enough choices. Democrats were more likely to say the country needs another choice at 67% compared to 51% of Republicans. Among independents or those with other political affiliations, 71% said the country needs another choice.
