Updated: The rematch is on.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump each clinched their party’s presidential nominations, after their amassed a majority of delegates in Tuesday’s primaries.
Biden crossed the 1,968 delegates needed for the Democratic nomination with his win of the Georgia primary, according to network projections.
Donald Trump passed the 1,215 delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination after he was projected to win the Washington state primary.
While the milestone was covered across cable news tonight, the Biden vs. Trump rematch has been clear for some time — given the polls and their victories in early primaries.
Biden faced nominal opposition from Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-mn), who have not managed to perform in the double digits in the primary contests so far. After Super Tuesday, Phillips dropped out and endorsed Biden.

The Democrat who delivered President Joe Biden his first defeat of the 2024 primary cycle wasn’t millionaire Congressman Dean Phillips or new age gadfly Marianne Williamson. It was a previously obscure Baltimore businessman with a name out of an Aaron Sorkin script: Jason Palmer.
Palmer shocked the incumbent, and denied the president a clean sweep on Super Tuesday, by winning the caucus in American Samoa. In so doing, his shoestring campaign — which he likens to a “lean startup” — matched the 2020 Democratic primary performance of Mike Bloomberg, who spent colossal $1 billion on his vanity presidential bid.

This cycle’s Super Tuesday lacked suspense — and that showed in the viewership numbers.
About 11.4 million viewers tuned into coverage during the peak hour of 10 p.m. Et, when the three major broadcast networks joined with the three major cable networks with live coverage, according to early numbers from Nielsen. That’s far less than the nearly 19 million who tuned in across those networks during the last cycle, in 2020.
But Super Tuesday 2020 featured the surprise showing of Joe Biden against Bernie Sanders, in a race that was still undoubtedly competitive. By contrast, there were few surprises in this year’s results, as Donald Trump and Biden dominated their respective contests. Nikki Haley, Trump’s last remaining rival for the nomination, dropped out earlier today, as did Dean Phillips, who had challenged Biden.

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-mn) has dropped his challenge to President Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Phillips failed to gain traction in caucuses and primaries in his long shot bid. In the Minnesota primary on Tuesday, he drew just 7.8% of the vote in his home state, behind the number of voters choosing “uncommitted,” which garnered about 19%. Biden won the state with more than 70% of the vote.
He wrote on X/Twitter, “I ran for Congress in 2018 to resist Donald Trump, I was trapped in the Capitol in 2021 because of Donald Trump, and I ran for President in 2024 to resist Donald Trump again – because Americans were demanding an alternative, and democracy demands options. But it is clear that alternative is not me. And it is clear that Joe Biden is Our candidate and Our opportunity to demonstrate what type of country America is and intends to be.

The suspense this Super Tuesday may be in watching how all of the networks try to make the night suspenseful.
Some 16 states and one territory will vote: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia. A Democratic caucus also is being held in American Samoa, and Iowa Democrats also will reveal their results.
But with Joe Biden and Donald Trump on their way to a rematch in the 2024 presidential election, coverage Tuesday will focus on margins of victory, when each candidate will clinch their nomination and what’s next from now until Election Day. There also will be attention to down-ballot races, including California’s Senate primary to fill the seat long held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-ca).

Update, 5:53 a.m. Pt, Wednesday: The “uncommitted” vote in Michigan’s Democratic primary garnered about 13.2% of the vote, while President Joe Biden received more than 81%, according to the latest results.
As huge of a victory as that is, the protest campaign to cast ballots for “uncommitted” drew more than 100,000 votes.
While progressives and moderates debate the significance of the protest vote — largely of Biden’s support for Israel in the war in Gaza — overlooked is what happened further down the ballot. Marianne Williamson, the self-help figure who had dropped out of the race, actually got more votes that Rep. Dean Phillips (D-mn), who was still in. She announced that she was “unsuspending” her campaign, even though she and Phillips were in the low single digits — also were beaten by the “uncommitted” vote.
In the GOP primary, Nikki Haley was drawing about 27% to Donald Trump’s 68%. Although Haley’s share...

Update: President Joe Biden arrived in Los Angeles this afternoon as part of a campaign swing.
As the results overwhelming came in for the incumbent in the South Carolina Democratic primary this evening, the first stop for Biden out on the West Coast is a campaign meeting in Bel Air, according to a White House pool report.
A source said that the meeting was at the home of George Lucas. Before the Star Wars creator bought the house in 2017, the residence was owned by H. Ross Perot Jr. and before that, by Freddy DeMann, the producer and music executive who was the co-founder of Maverick Records, according to Variety’s reports on the real estate transactions.
Lucas’ wife, Mellody Hobson, has been a major donor to Biden’s re-election campaign. Her contributions include $125,000 to the Biden Action Fund, a joint fundraising committee, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign will try to steal some of the media attention on New Hampshire on Tuesday with a Northern Virginia rally focused on the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s repeal of Roe vs. Wade.
Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will all appear at the rally, with plans to also introduce a new ad targeting women and swing voters. Campaign surrogates also will be holding events, characterizing efforts to restrict abortion at the state level as “Trump’s abortion bans.”
Much of the media focus that day will be on New Hampshire and the Republican primary, as former Un ambassador Nikki Haley tries to slow former President Donald Trump in his effort to secure the party’s nomination. After Trump’s lopsided victory in the Iowa caucuses and her third-place finish, Haley’s team has been setting expectations for a strong second,...

There was a moment in the past year when dozens of media and political reporters found themselves in the same room, sitting patiently for hours, essentially doing nothing but speculating about what was about to happen.
That’s generally a fraught scenario, but in this case, it was a bit fortuitous in that Delaware courtroom, waiting for proceedings to resume. At 4 p.m. that day in April, the judge announced that Fox had reached a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems just as a landmark defamation trial was about to begin. The revelations from the case — and the network’s $787.5 million payout — made for what was one of the biggest media business stories of the year.
The next year will be vastly different, what with a presidential election race in full swing, but it is also likely to be another 12 months of tumult in the industry. The decline in linear TV,...

Bill Maher Laments The Rejection Of Western Civilization Values By Misguided Social Justice Warriors
“Western civilization is what gave the word every goddamn liberal precept to adore,” Bill Maher thundered during his “New Rules” editorial on Friday’s Real Time. He went on to list religious freedom and other benefits.
So, Maher contended, citing a recent statement from President Joe Biden, “The world would be a better place if we had more Israels.” People live better today because of Western ideals, not in spite of them, Maher contended, and that’s why he’s struggling with the anti-Israel backlash, particularly on college campuses. “It’s like a volcano that blew,” he said. “I don’t know where this comes from.”
That was the theme that also came through in the night’s panel discussion, which featured Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria Gps and columnist for the Washington Post, and Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and Gzero Media. There was much...

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-mn), who represents a suburban Minneapolis congressional district, launched a challenge to President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination.
His announcement has been expected for weeks, as Phillips, 54, warns that Biden’s age and low approval mean that he very likely may lose to Donald Trump next year. Trump has a wide lead against the GOP field.
In an interview with CBS News’ Robert Costa on CBS Mornings, Phillips said that he thinks Biden has “done a spectacular job for our country, but it is not about the past. This is an election about the future.”
“I will not sit still, I will not be quiet in the face of numbers that are so clearly saying that we going to be facing an emergency next November,” he said.
In the interview and in his campaign video, Phillips said that now was the time to “pass the torch” to a new generation.

Dean Phillips — liquor heir, gelato prince, step-grandson of the advice columnist Dear Abby, and Democratic congressman from Minnesota — is challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination for president. Phillips filed his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night.
Phillips will officially announce in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Friday, which is the deadline to appear on the primary ballot in the state. To call his candidacy a longshot is an understatement, but Phillips has a good shot of winning the Democratic primary in New Hampshire — because Biden will not appear on the ballot.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden has moved on from cussing out teenagers to cussing out White House staff providing Congress with national security briefings.
Van Orden reportedly interrupted a congressional briefing by White House officials on the unfolding conflict between Israel and Hamas, cursing at the presenters, calling them “pathetic,” and yelling “fuck you” at Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), according to Politico. Phillips, a Jewish Democrat, had reportedly interjected into Van Orden’s verbal tirade with an exclamation of “shame on you.”
