REMATCH: 2 Old Presidents Ready To Slug It Out
Super Tuesday has come and gone. There were no surprises. Not that the American people were expecting any such thing. Come November and it will be rematch between President Joe Biden, seeking his second term and former President Trump eyeing a rare return to the White House.
If Trump swept the mat, annihilating Nikki Haley, President Biden needed to only go through the motions, being the lone Democrat candidate for president.
Both will now be using what is left of the primaries to shadow box each other. They have no more distractions ahead of the November elections barring another court indictment. On Tuesday, Trump won big, sweeping 15 states, so far tallying over 1000 delegates, Vermont proving the sole exception.
He is on track to reach the necessary 1,215 delegates to clinch the Republican nomination later this month.
That seems a formality as Haley has announced Wednesday that she is stepping down from her bid to win the primary, which is no longer mathematically possible. Trump did not mention Haley by name, while celebrating with his supporters at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, saying, They call it Super Tuesday for a reason. If he was uncharacteristically reticent the MAGA ( Make America Great Again) CEO Taylor Budowich was more forthcoming: Congratulations to President Donald Trump for vanquishing his opponents in record time.
