Biden reaches delegate threshold for 2024 Democratic nomination

Published



President Joe Biden is projected to surpass the 1,968 delegates needed to become the Democratic nominee Tuesday night as voters in Georgia, Washington, and Mississippi cast their primary ballots.

While Biden won’t be awarded the nomination until the Democratic convention in Chicago in August, he surpassed the party’s delegate threshold after an early win in Georgia and projection to pick up the state’s 108 delegates, just one week after Super Tuesday. With 96% of the votes counted, Biden earned 95.2% support, compared to author Marianne Williamson’s 3% and Rep. Dean Phillips’s (D-MN), who dropped out after Super Tuesday, 1.8%.
