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.

In Biden's response to securing the nomination he took a swipe at his likely challenger, former President Donald Trump.

"Despite the challenges we faced when I took office, we're in the middle of a comeback: wages are rising faster than inflation, jobs are coming back, consumer confidence has soared," Biden said. "Amid this progress, we face a sobering reality: Freedom and democracy are at risk here at home in a way they have not been since the Civil War. Donald Trump is running a campaign of resentment, revenge, and retribution that threatens the very idea of America."

Tuesday is also the earliest Trump can earn enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination – though it's possible he might have to wait another week.
