Trump secured a majority of delegates, with a notable upset by Republican challenger Nikki Haley in Vermont before she suspended her campaign. Biden continued his winning streak, winning in states like Iowa and North Carolina.
In Colorado and Maine, Trump won the nomination and delegates, despite being initially disqualified due to his involvement in the January 6 insurrection. In North Carolina, the most watched races were the gubernatorial primaries, setting the stage for a heated and expensive campaign. Meanwhile, Arkansas saw expected victories for Biden and Trump, along with key wins by incumbents in the 3rd Congressional District and state Supreme Court seats.
California overwhelmingly supported Biden, while Republicans backed Trump, with interesting Senate elections in the mix. States like Alaska, American Samoa, and Massachusetts also held Super Tuesday contests, showcasing a variety of results.
In Utah, Biden dominated the primary, while Republicans conducted caucuses and a presidential preference poll that solidified Trump’s lead. Vermont marked Haley’s first win, bringing slight disruption to Trump’s dominance. Lastly, Virginia saw Biden and Trump emerge as clear winners, with a Senate seat election set for June.
Overall, Super Tuesday demonstrated the ongoing political landscape and set the stage for future battlegrounds. Candidates from both parties are vying for support and delegates as the race for the presidency intensifies.
