Biden has just clinched the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination
With a win in Georgia's presidential primary Tuesday night, President Biden has enough delegates to formally claim the Democratic nomination for president in the 2024 general election, according to the AP.
While securing the nomination is a formality for an incumbent president, this also staves off any challengers to Biden and allows the campaign to show widespread unity among the Democratic primary electorate.
Biden did not face major opposition; a push to vote "uncommitted" or to submit a blank ballot, or take similar action, garnered support in several states including battlegrounds like Michigan and North Carolina. It does not present a challenge to Biden's nomination but it does show a not-insignificant number of voters have major concerns about a second Biden term.

Navarro, 74, is an economist turned trade adviser who became closely involved in attempts to overturn Donald Trump’s defeat by Joe Biden in the 2020 election, attempts that culminated in the deadly attack on Congress of 6 January 2021.

Held in contempt by the House, Navarro was charged by the Department of Justice and found guilty last September. He was sentenced in January this year.

Gaza Protesters Block Roads in Washington as Biden Delivers State of the Union
As President Joe Biden prepared for his pivotal 2024 State of the Union on Thursday, protestors demanding a ceasefire in Gaza blockaded outside the White House and near the Capitol.
The protesters, wearing shirts with the slogan "Biden Legacy = Genocide," unfurled a large Palestinian flag across Pennsylvania Avenue, and formed a human barricade by sitting in the road to block traffic. The demonstrations were large enough to force Biden's motorcade to take an alternate route from the White House to the Capitol, CNN reported. The pool traveling with the president said he took "the long way" to the Capitol, avoiding a large group of demonstrators just blocks away from the building. Activists could be heard outside as reporters loaded up into vans to head to the Capitol.
