Trump Poised To Dominate ‘Super Tuesday’ as Haley Makes Last Stand
Former US president, Donald Trump is poised to dominate ‘super Tuesday’ over Nikki Haley regarding the GOP presidential nomination.
Donald Trump is set to continue his march to the GOP presidential nomination on Tuesday when 15 states vote to award more than a third of the party’s delegates and see how quickly Republicans rally behind the former president.
Trump has decisively won all but one contest thus far and is expected to sweep “Super Tuesday,” a normally high-stakes event on the primary calendar that has lost its suspense due to the former president’s dominance.
Despite Trump’s near-incumbent status in the race, a sizable, if losing, percentage of voters have chosen another candidate in several contests, highlighting some voters’ concerns and the potential general election challenges ahead. His last remaining GOP challenger, Nikki Haley, has cited this trend as a reason to continue her campaign.
In many ways, a rematch between President Biden and Trump is already underway, and observers and strategists expressed varying opinions on what the margins in the GOP contests mean for Trump in November.
The incumbent and his allies are increasingly critical of Trump as a threat to democracy, abortion rights, and other liberties, while the former president has hammered Biden on immigration and the economy. Trump’s 91 criminal charges, which he used to rally supporters in the primary, are also expected to play a role in the fall campaign.
Trump’s team plans to secure the nomination by March 19, according to advisers. Haley, the former United Nations ambassador, has only committed to staying in the race until Tuesday, paving the way for a possible quick exit. Recent polling shows that more than 90% of registered Republicans support Trump over Biden, who is dealing with low Democratic enthusiasm and cracks in the coalition that helped him win a narrow victory in 2020.
At the same time, the primaries have highlighted Haley’s appeal to independents and college-educated voters, as she presents a compelling case against Trump. Super Tuesday will reveal more about who supports Trump and who may need to be persuaded in the coming months.
