This will be problematic as America continues to be polarized and not seemingly fond of either canditate.

This Article is right. During the primaries, Donald Trump and Joe Biden secured enough delegates to become their respective party nominees. According to this article from NPR, both candidates secured the nomination as of March 12th, 2024.

This is true. On March 12, both Donald Trump and Joe Biden one the nominations for their respective parties. According to Politico’s GOP Tracker, Trump beat out his Republican competitors by 1,863 votes while Biden beat his Democratic competitors by 3,032.

According to the Economist, both candidates have been neck and neck at around 43%. As of April 11th, Biden is trailing by 1% more than Trump. So, they are the nominees but there is still a fair game at who is elected.

From the claim's source, it is a *potential* rematch. Therefore, isn't the claim N/A, no available information since we cannot predict the future?

Yes, both candidates received their party nominations. NPR released an article after the nominations of incumbent Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump were secured by each candidate, which is linked below. It has been confirmed that Joe Biden received the Democratic party's nomination in mid-March, and Donald received the Republican party's nomination in March as well. The election will be between Biden and Trump in 2024, therefore this claim is factually correct.
