Today is Super Tuesday 2024

Super Tuesday, March 5, is the largest primary election day of the 2024 cycle, involving voters from 16 states and one territory. The results of today will significantly impact the GOP presidential nominee race, assigning over a third of the total delegates. The event is particularly crucial for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who has her last substantial opportunity to challenge former President Donald Trump’s lead in the nomination process. Trump, having already secured significant victories in previous primaries, including a notable win in Haley’s home state of South Carolina, enters Super Tuesday with a strong delegate lead. Despite Trump’s dominance, Haley has managed to attract a notable portion of the voter base, which may present challenges for Trump in a potential general election rematch with President Biden. Beyond the presidential race, Super Tuesday will also influence a variety of other key electoral contests, including Senate, House, and gubernatorial races, with significant implications for political control at both the state and federal levels. Results from Super Tuesday could take time to finalize, especially in states with extensive mail-in voting processes, such as California.
