In just 8 short months, Americans will see yet another face-off between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

This comes as Former President Trump secured enough delegates to seal the Republican presidential nomination following Tuesday's primaries in Georgia, Mississippi, Washington, and Hawaii.

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley ended her bid for the Republican nomination shortly after she won just one state, Vermont, on Super Tuesday.

Trump's wins on Tuesday, March 12 pushed him over the 1,215-delegate mark, which is the needed total for a majority at the GOP's July convention in Milwaukee.

With President Biden also clinching the Democratic nomination, 21 News spoke with a political expert on what this rematch could look like in the months to come.

"If you get the most delegates which is a majority, you're going to win the nomination and that's where we are," explained Dr. David Cohen, Director of the Applied Politics Program at The University of Akron. "None of this is a surprise. It's pure math. It's a numbers game. Both Trump and Biden are over the threshold."

The 2024 Biden-Trump rematch is unprecedented in several ways. America hasn't seen a former president run for reelection since 1912, when Teddy Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate. Grover Cleveland became the first president to serve two non-consecutive terms back in 1893.

"For Americans today, this is an unusual situation," Cohen said.

Cohen explained voters have the advantage of seeing what both men accomplished while Commander in Chief.

"The voters get to look at the records of both presidents they don't have to wonder, 'Is this particular candidate going to make a good president?' We already know," Cohen said. 

Cohen added Trump needs to appeal to middle-of-the-road voters. "He needs to start appealing to those disaffected Republicans that are Ron DeSantis supporters or Nikki Haley supporters that don't like him," he said.

Cohen explained President Biden needs to energize his base, especially Gen Z and millennial voters.

"You see those voters being very affected by what is happening during his term such as the war in the Middle East," Cohen explained. "There are things that are turning off some of those younger voters. A lot of these younger voters are very progressive and they're not going to vote for Trump, but they're going to simply stay home or they're simply not going to vote or they may vote third party."

Trump is the first former president to be indicted on federal criminal charges, plus there's record-low approval ratings for both presidential candidates.

"Since Trump's been president, he's been hit with 91 criminal counts and he's facing real legal jeopardy," Cohens said. "We've never had that in our history either. That is something that could have a major impact on the election as well.

Cohen said this could lead to a record-low turnout in presidential election history after the country saw the highest turnout back in 2020.

Third-party candidates including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Jill Stein could pull votes from both parties. Cohen says those third-party ballots lost Hillary Clinton the vote in 2016.

"Jill Stein won enough votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to allow Donald Trump to win those states," Cohen explained. "Because many of those Jill Stein voters would have been Hillary Clinton voters.

This time around, he believes more undecided voters will veer blue.

"You have two historically unpopular nominees which could provide an opening for a third-party protest candidate to receive more votes than they normally would have gotten in a regular quote-on-quote election year," Cohen said. 

Eyes are on swing states as both candidates battle for those votes including Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.

"Those six states are where the election is going to be waged," Cohen said.

Cohen told 21 News Ohio isn't so much of a swing state this election cycle, assuming the Buckeye State will vote red in November.

"Just buckle your seatbelts. It's going to be it's going to be a rocky ride," Cohen concluded. 

The Ohio Primary is slated for this upcoming Tuesday, March 19.
