WASHINGTON (AP) President Joe Biden, who took office aiming to steady a nation convulsed by the coronavirus pandemic and the Jan. 6 insurrection, clinched a second straight Democratic nomination Tuesday and set up an all-but-certain rematch with the predecessor he blames for destabilizing the country.
Biden became his partys presumptive nominee when he won enough delegates in Georgia.
That pushed Bidens count past 1,968 for a majority of delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this August, where his nomination will be made official. Former President Donald Trump is expected to clinch the Republican nomination shortly.
Biden, who mounted his first bid for president 37 years ago, did not face any serious Democratic challengers to his run for reelection at age 81.

Seems Zeke Miller at AP has a sad.
Instead of reporting results of today's election and AP's "call", he editorializes it with all kinds of negative narrative.
