Traditionally, Super Tuesday has served as a turning point in the election of the opposition candidate due to the large number of delegates distributed.
However, Trump reaches this day with the label of unbeatableafter having swept almost every election since the Republican primaries began with the Iowa caucuses on January 15.
All of his rivals have already dropped out of the race, except Haley, who only beat the New York magnate in the primary. D.C. this past weekend, a victory with hardly any political weight.
In fact, the big question is whether Haley’s candidacy will survive Super Tuesday or whether she will bow to growing pressure from her party and donors to throw in the towel.
Besides, Trump (2017-2021) goes to the polls emboldened after his judicial victory on Monday, when the Supreme Court ordered to lift his disqualification from the Colorado primariesa state that also votes this Tuesday.
The ruling, adopted unanimously, also put an end to attempts by Illinois and Maine to remove the former Republican president from the process.
For his part, Biden won on Super Tuesday 2020 over his then Democratic rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, and four years later he arrives at this meeting with almost no internal dispute.
Since the Democratic primaries began on February 3 in South Carolina has only lost two delegates at stake in Michigan’s internal electionswhere a protest vote for the Gaza war was organized.
Despite its indisputable advantage, Neither Biden nor Trump will be able to mathematically win the nomination this Super Tuesday and will have to wait a few more days.
Not even in the hypothetical case that they won all the delegates in contention, neither would Biden still achieve the magic figure of 1,968 that he must achieve to win the Democratic nomination, nor would Trump, the 1,215 that he needs.
