Internal party elections are being held today in 15 US federal states. The significance of this day is that the candidates for the presidency of America can win a large number of delegates who will later formally appoint the presidential candidates and their vice presidents at the final conventions.
In the United States, internal party elections are being held in 15 federal states today. From Alabama to Alaska and from Arkansas to American Samoa, Super Tuesday is Nikki Haley's last chance to threaten Donald Trump's nomination.The Guardian".
Former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley has only won in Washington so far and needs a political miracle to avoid being forced to end her campaign. Trump has convincingly defeated Haley in the six primaries so far.
The significance of "Super Tuesday" lies in the fact that primaries in both dominant parties are held that day in several federal states, and that during them presidential candidates can win a large number of delegates, who at the final party conventions formally nominate candidates for president and vice president of the USA. .
This year's primaries in any party are not as exciting as in previous election cycles, writes "The Guardian", since Biden as head of state did not have a serious opponent and Trump, the former president of the USA (2017-2021), quickly gained a large advantage over Nikki Haley. which is the only one left in the race against him.
Another victory for Donald Trump
As the campaign accelerates, the US Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump cannot be disqualified from the ballot in Colorado, overturning the decision of the highest court in that state to ban the former president from running in party elections, reports Voice of America.
The justices were unanimous in ruling that states can disqualify candidates for state office, but not for federal office -- such as the presidency. According to the judges of the Supreme Court, only Congress has the authority to do such a thing.
Trump announced on his social network "Truth Social" and wrote that this decision is "a great victory for America."
What's going on with the Democrats?
Before "Super Tuesday", Joe Biden is confident that he will easily defeat his rivals, Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson, who postponed her campaign last week, writes the "Guardian".
Due to growing concerns about the president's age and ability to perform his duties properly, but also because of his policy so far in the war between Israel and Hamas, Biden's aides will mainly worry about the turnout and the total number of protest votes.
Still, Frank Lunz, a Republican-leaning pollster, previously told The Guardian that in terms of the presidential election, "Super Tuesday has never been less important" than this year.
"I don't know of any political event that gets more attention and is less relevant," Lunz said. "The decision has been made." The choice is clear.”
And he added: "You know who the two presidential candidates are, 70 percent of Americans would prefer it not to be so."
Neither Trump nor Biden can achieve a final majority
Good results for Biden and Trump on "Super Tuesday" would bring both significantly closer to the nomination, although neither can secure a majority of the total number of delegates today.
Trump has won 244 delegates so far, and to secure the nomination at the final Republican convention in July in Milwaukee, he needs at least 1.215. This means that he would not secure the nomination even if he won all 865 delegates today, but he is expected to do so before the end of March.
For the Democrats, Biden has won 206 delegates so far, and he needs 1.968 for the nomination at the final convention in August in Chicago. Even Biden can't reach that number today, but he could also by the end of the month.
In today's primaries, a third of the total number of delegates is "at stake".
