Washington, (PTI) Voters handed decisive victories to US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump in their respective parties’ presidential primaries in Michigan on Tuesday, increasing the chances of a 2020 rematch between the two leaders in the race for the White House in 2024.
Trump easily defeated his main rival, Indian-American Nikki Haley, winning yet another early contest and additional delegates – bringing him one step closer to being able to formally secure the Republican Party’s nomination in November.
When the last reports came in, Haley had received 26.5 per cent of the votes as against Trump’s massive 68.2 per cent. US media outlets projected that 77-year-old Trump would sweep the Michigan primary with more than 40 per cent of the votes against 52-year-old Haley.
