*** Election Night Livewire *** Trump’s Super Tuesday Step to White House

Former President Donald Trump will take another big step toward the White House on Super Tuesday, assuming he wins a general election across more than a dozen states, as polls show.

President Trump aims to pull off the greatest political upset in human history in 2024, and on Tuesday night his main Republican opponent, the last remaining former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Haley won a landslide victory in the primary election held Sunday in the heavily Democratic capital, Washington, D.C. But her only win so far — Mr. Trump is winning literally every other state by a very healthy double-digit margin everywhere — means this may be her only win. do not have. Republican primary voters in 15 states will cast their votes on Tuesday, and the results in many states could put Trump mathematically on the brink of removing Haley from the Republican nomination in days, not weeks.

Depending on the results in certain states, such as California, Mr. Trump could win all the delegates awarded Tuesday in some states, but under certain conditions, such as reaching a majority, the winner (Mr. Trump has consistently reached this approval rating). Haley’s final night of do or die begins. She has persevered so far despite losing every primary and caucus to date, except for the District of Columbia. Mr. Trump has already participated in the Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire primary, Nevada caucus, South Carolina primary, Michigan primary and caucus, Idaho caucus, Missouri caucus, He won the North Dakota caucus. With 276 delegates already on Super Tuesday, Trump has a huge lead over Haley’s meager 43 delegates. To win the Republican nomination, a candidate needs to win at least 1,215 delegates, and Trump could use what he can get on Super Tuesday to take a big step in that direction. can.

The 15 states voting in the Super Tuesday Republican presidential primary are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. Trump leads by a huge margin in each poll.

On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden is the front-runner to secure the party’s nomination as well, but he faces two major challenges from Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) and author Marianne Williamson. facing. Mr. Williamson had suspended his campaign, but after Mr. Biden’s disastrous performance in the Michigan Democratic primary, he resumed his campaign, and more than 100,000 Michiganders went out of their way to vote against him, calling him “irresponsible.” . Mr. Biden could face a similar revolt from “uncommitted” voters on Super Tuesday, as several states that vote on the Democratic side offer similar options.

These states, along with American Samoa, Arkansas, California, Maine, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia, will vote Democratic in the Super Tuesday presidential primary.

In addition to the presidential primary, some low-cost contests could be particularly interesting on election night. In North Carolina, both Republicans and Democrats are expected to choose their gubernatorial candidates for 2024, with Republicans expected to choose Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, an influential black conservative, and Democrats expected to choose Attorney General Josh Stein. There is. A series of congressional primaries in North Carolina could also provide clues as to which party will control the House after November’s election.

In Texas, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) is facing a very deep-pocketed primary challenger to retain her seat after losing the Houston mayoral race. ing. Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) faces major challenges from several fronts that could force him into a runoff. Across the Lone Star State, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is easily expected to win the Republican nomination for the Senate, and Democrats will choose a candidate to run against him. Most observers expect Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) to be elected.

In California, several congressional primaries could determine the future of battleground congressional races that will have a major impact on the U.S. House of Representatives in November, while Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) He is trying to secure an easy path to the Senate race. This is the seat left by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) when she passed away. Depending on what happens in that primary — whether Mr. Schiff advances to the general election and whether either Republican Steve Garvey or Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) advances with Mr. Schiff. , much can be decided about it. There is a jungle primary in California, where all candidates from all parties face off in the primary, and the top two vote-getters advance to the general election, so there is a good chance that Mr. Porter will move forward with Mr. Schiff, making things difficult for the Democratic Party. has become complicated.

In Alabama, two Republican congressmen, Rep. Jerry Kahl (R-Ala.) and Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.), are facing off in a congressman-on-congressman primary due to redistricting.
