The Super Tuesday results, released between Tuesday night (5) and Wednesday morning (6), left President Joe Biden (Democratic Party) and former President Donald Trump (Republican Party) very close to confirming the results, respective candidates for President of the United States in the November elections.
Both won the vast majority of their parties’ caucuses, according to Associated Press projections.
As a result, Trump won 14 of the 15 states (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia).
While Biden won 15 of 16 states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, North Carolina and Iowa).
Trump’s victory in the primaries increases pressure for Haley to leave the presidential race. She said she was “honored” to have been the first Republican woman to win a state in a presidential primary. Her allies point out that the end of her campaign may be near, according to the Associated Press. Haley watched the Super Tuesday primaries near her home in South Carolina.
Biden, on the other hand, did not face opponents — the only opposition was protest votes in Minnesota, from Democratic voters dissatisfied with Biden’s support for Israel in the war with Hamas in Gaza, and the victory of runt Jason Palmer in American Samoa.
Earlier this Wednesday, Trump and Biden exchanged accusations. In a speech at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, Trump called Biden the “worst president in history.” Biden said that Trump’s eventual return to the White House would be a setback.
