Americans are preparing for a crucial date in the race for the White House”Super Tuesday Elections,” when primaries will be voted in 15 states and one US territory, a milestone in the election calendar that will bless Joe Biden and likely leave Donald Trump with the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in hand.
“Super Tuesday” It’s the most important voting day of the country’s long primary season and is traditionally decisive for candidates as the race narrows.
This year, no major surprises are expected either on the Democratic front, with Biden running practically alone, or on the Republican front, with Trump ever closer to the candidacy, but it remains a fundamental appointment for the presidential elections on November 5th.
Tens of millions of Americans They will vote in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, California, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia, as well as the territory of Samoa. Republicans already held their own race in Iowa earlier this year, but Democrats will announce the winner of their vote-by-mail vote in that state on Tuesday.
Eyes are focused above all on the large states, California and Texas, where Trump hopes to get 773 delegates and surpass the magic number to secure the nomination for the Grand Old Party’s Grand Convention in July.
Despite his legal problems, Trump has so far won all the state primaries and “Super Tuesday” is seen as the last real chance for the only one who continues to challenge him internally, his former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, to overturn the fortunes of the unstoppable campaign magnate.
Until he won a symbolic victory Sunday night in the Washington D.C. primary, Haley, she hadn’t even won an internal one, despite winning 40 percent of the vote in New Hampshire and South Carolina, the state of which she was governor. For her, these results are a sign that the party remains divided over Trump. Haley also argues that she would do better than the former president in the general election against Biden.
While many are urging her to reject her candidacy, she said she would wait until “Super Tuesday,” when another string of defeats could doom her campaign. Or, even if it seems miraculous today, revive it.
Haley says most voters oppose it a rematch between the “chaos” candidate Trump and Bidentwo older men aged 77 and 81 respectively, who in her opinion, at 52, must now make way for the new generations.
But many also believe that Haley is trying to stay on her toes in case Trump gets hit with his legal troubles, even if nothing seems to impact her popularity or career for now.
In fact, he got big news on Monday when the Supreme Court ruled in his favor and said his name should remain on the ballots of the state of Colorado, which tried to veto him over the insurrection . Moreover, will have to appeal to the Supreme Court to request immunitya sentence that could influence other proceedings against him for obstruction of justice and interference in the results of the 2020 elections. In total he faces 91 charges in court, some of them criminal.
However, the trust of his followers remains intact because they believe that everything is a judicial campaign promoted by the Democrats to prevent him from returning to the White House.
Ahead of the November elections, Trump leads Biden today by 2.3 points, according to an average of RealClearPolitics polls. But Republicans lead in crucial states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, Arizona and Michigan.
The intention to vote for Trump is growing despite the fact that the American economy is growing, inflation has decreased and unemployment has also decreased. The biggest burden for Biden, according to polls, is his age, even among his own ranks. A New York Times/Siena College poll released this Monday indicates that 61% of those who voted for him in 2020 now say he is “too old” to be president.
