Voters in four states are set to participate in primary elections on Tuesday to cast their votes for the presidential nominees of their respective parties. However, with President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump already securing the Democratic and Republican nominations, these primaries are largely symbolic in nature.
It is widely expected that both Biden and Trump will emerge victorious in the primaries being held in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. While these results may not have a significant impact on the overall nomination process, they will provide insights into the level of enthusiasm among base voters as the country gears up for the 2020 presidential election.
Of particular interest is the state of Wisconsin, a crucial battleground in the upcoming November election. The primary results in Wisconsin will shed light on the extent of support for Trump among Republicans and the level of disillusionment with Biden among Democrats.
Both Trump and Biden have been actively campaigning in key states, with Trump focusing on Wisconsin and Michigan, while Biden has visited several battlegrounds following his State of the Union speech.
In addition to the presidential primaries, voters in these states will also have the opportunity to weigh in on other important issues. Wisconsin voters, for instance, will decide on two Republican-backed ballot measures that could impact the state's electoral processes.
Meanwhile, Mississippi voters will participate in a runoff between two Republican candidates competing to challenge Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson in the upcoming election.
On the fundraising front, Biden and the Democratic National Committee have outpaced Trump and the Republicans, with Biden recently setting a new record by raising $26 million at a fundraising event in New York. Trump, on the other hand, is aiming to surpass this figure with a fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, with a target of $33 million.
As the primary elections unfold and the candidates gear up for the general election, the political landscape in these states will provide valuable insights into the upcoming presidential race.
