US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump claimed victories in Louisiana’s primary, further cementing their path to securing their party nominations. Biden also took part in Missouri’s Democratic primary, with the results expected to be released next week. While the outcomes were largely anticipated, political observers closely monitored the primary races for voter turnout and indications of dissent. Biden faced criticism from certain liberal factions over his response to the Israel-Hamas conflict, which has led to a significant loss of life in Gaza. Meanwhile, Trump, the prominent figure in the Republican Party, secured his third consecutive nomination, despite concerns raised within his own party regarding his legal challenges and handling of the aftermath of the January 6 insurrection. The Missouri Democratic Party’s primary marked its first organized presidential contest since the implementation of a new law in August 2022. On the other hand, Louisiana’s primary was delayed for nearly four years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
