Trump’s Super Tuesday Triumph: A Republican Landslide
Donald Trump made a commanding entrance into Super Tuesday, delivering a knockout punch by securing victories in 14 out of 15 states. The only outlier, Vermont, became an unexpected battleground due to its open primary system, allowing Democrats to influence the Republican race.
Breaking down the results: Trump dominated with overwhelming percentages in each state, accumulating a total of 722 delegates. Notable victories include Alabama, Texas, and North Carolina, where Trump’s support remained formidable.

Alabama: Trump 83%, Haley 13%
Alaska: Trump 88%, Haley 12%
Arkansas: Trump 77%, Haley 18%
California: Trump 78%, Haley 18%
Colorado: Trump 63%, Haley 33%

Vermont anomaly: Nikki Haley managed to secure Vermont, a state with an open primary, revealing an interesting dynamic. Exit polls unveiled that a significant portion of Haley’s voters in Vermont actually approved of Joe Biden’s performance. This peculiar outcome sheds light on the broader political landscape within the state.
Trump’s response: The former president expressed gratitude, stating that it was his “honor to represent not just the Republican Party but our country in leading it back to health and prosperity.”
Haley’s exit: Widely reported this morning, Nikki Haley’s campaign recognizes a lack of a viable path forward. Despite refraining from endorsing Trump for now, her decision to drop out reshapes the Republican landscape.
Democratic side: On the Democratic front, Joe Biden effortlessly secured victories in all 15 states, reaffirming his position as the party’s incumbent. However, a surprising loss in American Samoa added a twist to the otherwise predictable outcome.
“Uncommitted” protest: In Minnesota, a noteworthy 18.9% of Democrats voted “uncommitted” in protest against Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict. This dissent echoes similar sentiments expressed in Michigan the previous week.
The bigger picture: Initial discussions on the primary calendar and Trump’s path to secure the 1,215 delegates needed to become the nominee have become obsolete with Haley’s withdrawal. The undeniable conclusion: Donald Trump is now the official 2024 Republican nominee.
It’s official. Donald Trump is the 2024 Republican nominee.
