With the beginning of 2024, primary elections are held in the United States, in which presidential candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties compete. Based on the results of the voting, candidates receive the support of delegates who will vote at the conventions of both parties in the summer to officially nominate their single candidate. The Democratic challenger must receive at least 1,968 of 3,934 delegate votes, and the Republican candidate must receive at least 1,215 of 2,429 delegate votes.

After the “primaries” were held in more than 20 states, both parties showed an obvious superiority of the main contenders: Donald Trump has already received 1247, Joe Biden – 2099 votes of delegates for the nomination from their parties. At the next “primaries”, both candidates can gain the missing number of votes from delegates and receive the status of a single candidate ahead of schedule, which will turn the summer party congresses into a formality. Thus, the upcoming November 5th of this year. the election could be a rematch: for the first time since 1912, a former president will challenge an incumbent.
