Polls Open for Presidential Primaries in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington

Voters in Georgia, Mississippi, Washington, and Hawaii are heading to the polls today for “Mini Super Tuesday,” a set of primary contests that could see both major presidential candidates clinch their party nominations. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are both nearing the delegate thresholds required to officially secure their positions as the presumptive nominees. The elections follow recent high-profile campaign stops in Georgia, a critical swing state where both candidates have focused their efforts to mobilize voters ahead of the general election cycle.

• President Joe Biden currently has 1,866 delegates and needs 102 more to reach the 1,968 required for the Democratic nomination.
• Former President Donald Trump has 1,078 delegates and needs 137 more to reach the 1,215 required for the Republican nomination.
• Georgia is a focal point of the day, with 108 Democratic delegates and 59 Republican delegates up for grabs.
• In addition to Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington, Republican voters in Hawaii are participating in a caucus.
• Polls in Georgia are scheduled to close at 7:00 PM ET, with results expected to clarify the delegate standings for both parties.
