Joe Biden and Donald Trump have been confirmed as presidential candidates. The official nomination follows party conferences in the summer.

The election in November is heading towards the first new US presidential election in almost 70 years. The last remake of a presidential election was in 1956, when Republican President Dwight Eisenhower defeated former Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson, a Democrat, for a second time. The first primary election results from the US state of Georgia, Biden exceeded the required number of 1,968 voters, ahead of the results from Mississippi, Washington.
