Super Tuesday showdown: Trump and Biden lead the pack. Who will win presidential nominations?
Super Tuesday, an important phase of primaries in the 2024 US Presidential Election race, is all set to begin. On Tuesday (March 5), voters from multiple states will cast ballots in primaries timed to occur on the same date.
Here’s what to expect from the GOP Primaries
In the GOP (Grand Old Party) aka Republican primaries, Donald Trump is the clear frontrunner. As of now, Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is trailing far behind her rival Trump.
To clinch the Republican nomination, a candidate must secure a minimum of 1,215 delegates out of the overall 2,429. Haley has 43 delegates and needs another 1,172. On the other hand, Trump already has 273 (230 more than Haley) delegates and needs 942.
As per predictions, Trump is set to win a significant number of delegates in Super Tuesday. As per Politico, “while he won’t get there (to 942) on Super Tuesday alone, he’ll be a lot closer when the night ends.”
RealClearPolitics, which keeps track of all national polls shows that across national polls Trump is leading by more than 60 percentage points on average.
Here’s what to expect from the Democrat Primaries
Unsurprisingly, Joe Biden is the frontrunner in the Democrat party primaries. To win the Democrats nomination, a candidate must secure a minimum of 1,969 delegates out of the overall 3,979.
