In a dramatic Super Tuesday showdown, President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, emerged victorious in more than a dozen states, all but assuring a November rematch. The results have ramped up pressure on Nikki Haley, the last significant rival to the former president, to withdraw from the Republican race.
Biden and Trump’s sweeping victories spanned from coast to coast, including in the delegate-rich states of California and Texas, leaving little room for doubt about the direction of the race. Haley managed to secure a win in Vermont, preventing a complete sweep by Trump. However, Trump triumphed in other states that might have been favorable to Haley, such as Virginia, Massachusetts, and Maine. These states are known for their large populations of moderate voters, a demographic that has supported Haley in previous primaries.
The outcome of Super Tuesday has set the stage for a high-stakes political battle in November, with the presidency hanging in the balance.
