Missouri and Louisiana will hold presidential primaries on Saturday, giving President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump more opportunities to collect delegates.
Biden will compete in the Democratic primaries in both states. Republicans will only vote in Louisiana because the Missouri Republican Party has held its caucuses on March 2.
There will be no suspense in any game. Biden and Trump have secured their party’s nominations and defeated their primary rivals. But the primary is still closely watched by insiders for turnout and signs of protesting voters.
For Biden, some liberals have expressed anger over Israel’s war against Hamas following the Oct. 7 attack. According to reports, more than 30,000 people have been killed by Gaza authorities since the Israeli offensive began, two-thirds of them women and children. The protest movement started by Michigan’s Arab-American community has spread to several other states.
Trump is the party’s dominant figure and has locked up the Republican nomination for a third consecutive time. But he faces dissent from those who worry about the significant legal risks he faces or who criticize his tenure in the White House. His White House term ended shortly after his supporters launched an insurrection on January 6, fueled by his false theories of election fraud.
Saturday’s primary will be Missouri Democrats’ first partisan presidential contest since the new law took effect in August 2022. Louisiana’s primary, meanwhile, comes nearly four years after the state was the first to postpone its primary due to the Covid-19 pandemic. .
