Trump wins big in super tuesday primaries
In a triumphant return to the political stage, Donald Trump secured victory in the first eight Super Tuesday primaries, according to U.S. networks. The states of Alabama, Arkansas, Maine, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia were all swiftly called in favor of the former president, who is vying for a remarkable comeback to the White House after his defeat by Democrat Joe Biden in 2020.
Expressing gratitude on his Truth Social platform, Trump acknowledged the support as vote tallies continued to roll in from the remaining Super Tuesday states. The potential for a clean sweep of states on his path to the Republican Party nomination adds momentum to Trump’s bid for political redemption.
Despite facing a challenge from his longshot rival, former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, Trump’s dominance in the primaries remains largely unchallenged. Haley, though trailing, has yet to concede in the race for the nomination.
On the Democratic front, as anticipated, Joe Biden secured victories in all the first 11 states called by U.S. networks. RealClearPolitics polling averages indicate a narrow two-point lead for Trump over Biden in a hypothetical one-on-one matchup for the November election, setting the stage for a potentially contentious rematch between the two candidates.
