Biden and Trump win on Super Tuesday

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump scored victories across the country during the busiest day of primary elections, known as Super Tuesday. Thus, they are moving toward a new confrontation and increasing pressure on Trump’s last major rival, Nikki Haley, to leave the race.

biden And trump He won in California, Texas, Alabama, Colorado, Maine, Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Minnesota, and Massachusetts. Biden also won Vermont and Iowa. Haley won in Vermont, preventing Trump’s full session. However, the former president prevailed in other states that could have supported Haley, such as Virginia, Massachusetts and Maine, which have large numbers of liberal voters who had supported him in previous primaries.

Donald Trump He already seemed on track to win at least 14 of the 15 states contested in ‘Super Tuesday’, the largest electoral event in the United States until the November 5 elections. Only Vermont was suspicious, where trump and Haley They were literally tied. But this is a small doubt. First, because it is a democratic state. Second, because it is the second least populous state in the United States after Wyoming, with only 643,000 residents (fewer than the District of Columbia, where the city of Washington is located, where Haley scored her only victory so far in Sunday’s primary. Was done). ,

Now the question is What will Haley do? The former governor of South Carolina and former ambassador to the United Nations with Donald Trump has only committed to continuing the campaign until Super Tuesday. However, it continues to receive considerable support, with almost a third of the vote, but it is clear It’s only a matter of time before it becomes mathematically impossible. That she can reach the number of delegates necessary to be declared the Republican Party’s nominee at the convention to be held in Wisconsin in July.

Haley has declined to run as a third-party candidate, and following her defeat on Super Tuesday it is likely that donations supporting her candidacy will dry up. If it goes, It remains to be seen whether he will support Donald Trump at the convention. All Republican candidates except Trump pledged in writing to support the winner of the primary. The former president is the only person who has not signed the document rejecting the use of violence to come to power.

Haley knows that her political career in a party dominated by ‘Trumpism’ is over. Its effect is also doubtful. Although in many states he has received over a third of the vote, and in some 78% of those who support him say they do not know whether they will vote for Trump, No one has a clear idea who are the followers of the former ambassador to the United Nations. As the primaries have dragged on longer than expected, more and more Democrats and independents have begun voting for Haley as opposed to Trump. By some estimates, there are states where only 9% of voters supported Trump in 2020, indicating that his impact on the general election may be much smaller than anticipated.

As expected, on the Democratic side, Biden has won without any problem.
